NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
.Profs. w. F. Davis and j. G. H. Buck
, Correct Statement Concerning
Schools of the County.

After having been brought to my
attention by several reliable persons
a matter that has been rumored false
ly, we deem it best, and in justice to
all, that public correction be made.
We have in Anderson county three
school districts There are 40 in alb
that have no white schools in them.
and perhaps not more than one or
two swhite families; these schools
have negro trustees and are managed
by the negroes In those districts this
year / have appointed negro census
trustees to take the scholastic cen
sus. This was done because there
was no white man available to take
The census, and the remuneration is
SO small that it is difficult matter
to secure any one to attend to it. |
sent blanks to the white families liv-
ing in the districts, SO far as | could
find out their names and addresses,
dtSO lldCSu iOtiCSo III papers
published in our county, viz: Pales-
tine Daily Herald, Anderson County
Herald, the Palestine Weekly Advo-
cate, Daily Visitor, the Frankston Me-
teor, and the Negro Plaindealer, ask
ing that If any one had been missed
to please send to me the childs name,
age, sex and color Several respond
ed to this request.
There is no truth in the report that
appointed negro census trustees to
take white children, and any unbiased
man will not consider it for one mo-
ment, seriously. We shall raise no
protest to any matter of truth, and
only ask that the censure fall on those
who deserve it.
Before appointing the negro census
trustees, took the trouble to investi-
gate the past record on this matter,
which is on file in my office, and
find that it has been the custom for
years past for negro census trustees
to be appointed to take the census in
these districts above mentioned, and
that they have been paid for the
work done by the county judge lex
officio superintendent Taking this
as a precedent in the matter, felt no
hesitancy in making the appoint
ments There has never been any
question raised upon this matter be-
fore, so far as | have heard, and |
will add further, wherever it was pos
sible to secure the services of a
white man to attend to this matter
have done so. My friend, Mr.. j. g.
u R;.cE wishes- -alsn. e state in this
communication that the reports which
are being circulated to originate from
him in this matter are false on the
face, and that he has not SO much as
mentioned the rumor since his an
nouncement as my opponent, and
even before his announcement he took
occasion to express himself emphati
cally that the report was not true.
With his request l make this men
ton, which is, think, justice to both.
Now, hope if any one should have
such a narrow conception as to give
credence to this rumor that he will
come to me and make known his
grievance, and if he will take undis-
puted evidence l shall have the pleas
ure of converting him in just three
minutes.
With the kindliest feelings towards
all, we are, Very respectfully,
w. F. DAVIS,
County Superintendent

Here is. Champ Clark's defense Of
humor, If it needs one:
"The dry-as-dusts solemnly assev-

Now. let's see. How did Private John
Allen Of Mississippi get to congress?
Jokel himself in. One bit Of humor
SEN him to Washington. a national
lawmakcr. Opposing him for the con-
gressional nomination was the Confed:
crate General Tucker. They met on
the stump. General Tucker closed one
OF his speeches as follows:
~"''Seventeen years ago tonight. my

battle on yonler hill. bivouacked un-
der yoIldcr cl,imp of trees Those OF
you who remember as | do the times
that tried mems souls will not, | hope,
forget their humble servant when the
primaries shall be held
"That was a strong appeal in those
days, but John raised the general ut
his own game. My fellow citizens,
he said, what General Tucker says to
you about ~bivoriacking under yonder
clump Of trees is true. 1t is. also true
my fellow citizens, that l was a vedette
picket and stood guard over him while
he slept. Now, then, fellow citizens
all you who were generals and had
privates to stand over you while you
slept vote for General Tucker, and al
of you who We're privates and stood
guard over the generals while they
slept vote for Private John Allen.
The people caught on, took John al
his word and sent him to congress
where he stayed. until the world was
filled with his renown."

The words which give the compiler

become twisted in many directions.
Words with pedlgrees are the hardest

SHOT ON THE BOARD WALK
BALTIMORE MAN Is WOUNDED At
ATLANTIC CITY.
Mystery In Assault That May Result
fatally The Victim Was
with a Woman.

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. ga mys-
became known Friday, occurred on
the boardwalk during a heavy rain,
when Charles B. Roberts, president
and treasurer of the National Supply
company Of Baltimore, Nd, was prob
ably fatally shot by IN unknown man
who dashed from a hotel pavilion and,
after firing. fed. The bullet pene-
trated Roberts side.
Roberts wa being pushed along in
a rolling chair with Mrs. W.. F. G..
Williams, also of Baltimore, when the
stranger appeared suddenly. He
commanded Roberts to get out Of the
chair and as the latter a about to
respond, brandished a revolver and
shot. Mrs. Williams tainted and the
colored attendant called a policeman,
who had Roberts removed to his hotel
suite. y
The description Of Roberts assail1
ant al given by the few witnesses of
the shooting is meager but the police
think they know his identity. At first
the motive was thought to be robbery
but now 1t is believed that it was one
of vengeance.
Mr.. Roberts is SO years old. He is
a member of all the leading clubs OF
Maryland, including the Maryland
club, the Baltimore Country club and
Elk Ridge Hunt club. One of Roberts
sisters-in-law is Mrs. Epaminondas
.Chermont, wife Of the secretary Of
the Brazilian embassy at Washington
Mrs. Roberts with her four children is
now in New Hampshire.

EARLE AND WIFE AGAIN UNITED.
Charge Of Wife Beating Against tho
Artist May Be Dropped.

Monroe, N. Y, Aug. 29.-Ferdinand
P. Earle, the artist, and his wife are
again united. Earle was released on
$1,000 bail from Goshen Jail where he
had been on the charge of beating his
wife, whom he formerly described as
his affinity.
Earle managed to elude the pursuit
of reporters after his release and
came here. His wife, whom he was
charged with having beaten and
choked while she was still weak after
the birth of their child, returned from
New York Friday and seemed glad to
get back. In her arms she carried
the baby, now three weeks old. Law
yers on both sides intimate that the
charge against the artist will be
dropped. Earle is said to have been
noticeably subdued by his Jail ex-
perience.

MISLEADING NAMES.
Terms In Science That Belle the Prod.
ucts to Which They Apply.


There are terms in certain depart.
ments of so,-nce that positively mis-.
name the products to which they are
applied
The word coil" in its more compre-
,hensive and indiscriminate uses ID
made to include hydrocarbons, like Pc
ltroleum, and also many other sub
stances that have an oily appearance,
like "oil Of vitriol," which is not oil at
all, but sulphuric acid.
Strictly speaking, the mineral oils,
including all petroleum products, are
not oil, although we speak Of "coal
oil" and kerosene oil"
The best classiications Of oils do not
include mineral hydrocarbons, like
naphtha, paraffin and petroleum, but
treat only the two well defined groups
fixed oils and fats and the essential
or volatile oils.
"Copperas" is not copper, but sui
phate Of iron. "Salt Of lemon" has
nothing to do with the fruit of the
lemon tree, but is potassium bino1alats
or potash treated with oxalic acid.
"Carbolic acid" is not an acid, but a
phenol. In structure 1t is allied to the
alcohols and has only slight acid prop

soda. "Sulphuric acid" contains no
sulphur. "Sugar OF lead" Is innocent
of sugar.
"Cream of tartar" has nothing to do
with cream mol milk of lime" with
milk. German silver is a stranger
to silver, and "black lead" is not lead
ut all, but graphite. mosaic gold' IL
a sulphide of tin.
These misleading names have come
down from the vocabulary OF an early
and inexact chemistry. AS popular
science extends the old terms are
yielding to the more scientific nomen.

QUEER EXPRESSIONS.
Used by Those Who Wish to Swear
Without Being Profane.

Pseudo swear words are of strange
and wondrous kind, and great inge-
nuity is used i'll thinking them up.
Of course darn and ''dlSn's' parent
age is not hard to guess, but such ex-
pressions as "geewillikins." ''golly"
and "gosh," when used as substitutes
for profane words, are harder to trace.
A southerner once was heard to use
in the course Of a single description
the expressions "dog bite 'em," "gosh
all ishhooks," dad rat 'em" and
""jumpin'. gee whiz."
From a mar who lives in Connecti-
cut come these expressions: "Great
horned toads and frecrackers," "gum
swat" 'gol dast it, and "by the ter
nal bowwows."
A Pennsylvania is responsible for
the expression "sacriicial .pollywogs.'
the meaning Of which is not exactly
clear. Many Hoosiers swear "by gra-
wy" and the exclamation Jimmy
krauts" is common in some parts of
the country. A Chicago man relieves
his overweight feelings after missing
a shot in billiards by shouting sacred
camels'' and monk of the forest"
The Germans like Il make remarks
about thunder and lightning when
they wish to be real naughty. the
Frenchmen take to little sayings about
a Thousand cannons' or some large
number Of "thunders." and sailors are
credited with great OatlS emDOdyiug
the ''great horn spoon or a willing
less to ''shiver my timbers," but prob
ably the American who wishes to
swear without being profane finds as
many queer expressions as any one

Pepper In OIden Times.
Pittsburg, Pa.
Agents Wanted.

During the middle ages lin Europe
pepper W IS the most esteemed aud i'm
portant of all the spices. Genoa, Ven
i e and other commercial cities Of cen
trail Europe were Indebted to their
traffic in pepper for large part of
their wealth. Its Importance as a
means of promoting commercial activ-
lty and civilization during the middle
ages can hardly be overTated. Tribute
was levied in pepper, and donations
were made in this spice, which was
frequently also used as medium of
exchange in place of money. Where
the imperial city of Rome was be-
sieged by Alaric, the King of the Cloths
in 408 A. d., the ransom demanded
included 5000 pounds of gold, 10000
rounds of silver and 5000 pounds of
lepper, illustrating the importance Of
this spice at that time.
