School Opens September IA.

The next session of the Berry
vile High School will open on
Monday, September IL, and par
ents are earnestly requested to
start their children promptly. as
the first few days will be taken up
with registration, examination and
classification.
The outlook for the session is
very encouraging. The enroll
ment will perhaps far exceed that
of last year, which was over 200.
Practically ali of the pupils of last
year will return, and large num-
Der of new ones will enter.
The policies of the school. in the
main, will be the same a. last year.
But wherever and whenever we
think changes for the better can
be made we shall make them. We
have been planning for this session
since the close of the last session
and believe we have the work well
mapped out. Miss Henson. the
first assistant. and myself. attend
ed the Summer School of the Uni
versity of Virginia, and from asso-
citation with nearly 1,OOO teachers
from various parts of United States
and the excellent instruction re-
ceived, we enter the work of this
session with more knowledge, bet
ter plans and greater inspiration.
The Board Of Trustees is making
some repairs and improvements,
and we hope to have convenient
and comfortable surroundings.
The text books for the High
School Department are essentially
the same as last year. a partial list
of which Is given in the Catalogue.
but the books for the Grades have
been changed. The State Board
of Education has adopted single

books will be much cheaper. l

and he tells me he will have them
all by the day of opening of school.
so that there need be no delay.
He has some of them on hand now.

Is small indeed. Let no pupil pur-
chase text books until he enters

National ticket. IL did not seon
probable before Mr.. Brvan,s
nomination. that he could muster
these forces behind his candidacy
Nevertheless, he .ias done SO. with
Marse Henry WatterSoa. who in
1896, refused to march through a
slaughter house into an open
grave" as the enthusiastic leader
of the returning prodiga!s.
The effect Of the campaign is that
Bryan is stronger today than he
was at the time of his nomination,
and Republicans who desire IN
have their party win at the polls
IN November must make M their
minds that stiff contest is ahead
OF them. The last three National
campaigns have put Republicans
ln the mood To anticipate Drmo-
cratic defeat under any and all
conditions. That feeling of secur-
ity against Democratic,victo can
not be too quickly put aside. A
Democratic victory is not imDossi-
Die, particularly if Mr.. Bryan con-
t'nues to gain as he has gained to
date.
These expressions Of opinion are
from sources that have heretofore
been hoStllr tu Mr.. Br, All. There
In lies their significance. Many
similar expressions can be quoted,
but these indicate that there is a
growing sentiment for the Demo-
cratic nominee. The Republican
papers see il. and some of them are
frank enough Ia admit it. I'm
qnestionahly, Bryan stock is look
ing up.

CaStrO'S Chronic CuSSedneSS.

Castro Of Venezuela has a fine
instinct for melodrama, and it is
not his fault at all if the rest of the
world persists in mistalxing the
situations which he creates for
comic opera scenes. When a ruler
strikes the attitude of Ajax, and
defies Olympus, it is really quite
cruel for Olympus to keep right on
with its ordinary routine business
just as if nothing unusual had
happened. On Monday Castro
chews glass; Tuesday he fires a
minister; Wednesday he has a fit;
Thursday he fires another minister,
deiies the civilized world and puts
the kibosh on a dozen foreign cor
porations; Friday he does it all
over again; Saturday and Sunday
he sits in tense expectancy waiting
for the foreign pigs" to come and
persecute him. But they wont
come. "Car-r-r-amba. the beasts
are all afraid of me-" defies this
self-possessed combination of Boil
var and Julius Caesar, Mr., Castro

Bryan and Kern Club Organized.

- S-ODNi! NAONN VI A/CAlONt dlo
attended the mass meeting at the
Courthouse last Saturday afternoon
and organized the first Bryan and
Kern Club in this County.
The following officers were
elected:
President, j. T. Griffith.
First Vice-President, Rev. j. J..
Engle.
Second Vice President, f. b.
Whiting.
Third Vice President, W. T.
Lewis.
Secretary, Chas. r. Hughes.
Treasurer, NJ. w. Jones.
The members of the newly
organized Club were outspoken in
their condemnation of the Balti-
more Sun for its course in support
ing the Republican party in this
campaign, after its many years
with the Democratic party, and the
following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, a certain newspaper
published in Baltimore city. known
as the Baltimore Sun, which has
done much to formulate Democratic
sentiment in this section. has seen
hit in this campaign TO try 10 uprOot
oil of this state of Affairs 10y sup
porting the Republican nominee
for the Presidency, therefore, be it
Resolved, That this Club
arraign it for such course in now
supporting the Republican nominee
for the Presidency in the most
strenuous way, and hereby ex-
presses its disapproval of such
course, and hopes the members of
this Club will find it agreeable to
themselves to discontinue their
subscriptions to and reading of the
Baltimore Sun"
In accepting the Presidency of
the Club, Captain Griffith made a
very pleasing speech. in which he
endorsed the Denver platform and
the candidates named by the Con-
vention. He was applauded heart
lily by his auditors, ali of whom are
in sympathy with the platform and
nominees.
The candidacy Of Hon. James
Hay, for Congress from this Dis
trict, received the commendation
of the Club, and Mr.. Hays work
in behalf of the District in the past
was complimented. 1t is hoped to
have Mr.. Hay deliver 4 speech
here under the auspices of the Club
between the this date and the cleo
ton.
The membership of the Club had
reached 175 before the COURIER
went to press today, and the names
are still coming in.
\ committee composed of Col.
5. ). Thomas, w. T. Milton and
W. I. Lewis was appointed tc
confer with President Griffith in
regard to securing speakers during
the campaign, who will address the
people of the County under the
auspices of the Bryan and Kerr
Club.
y resolution was passed inviting
every voter in Clarke county L
send his name to the Secretary 4,
q member of the Club.
The meeting adjourned to meet
again on Saturday, September p
at p. m., when it is expected that
vigorous steps will be taken, look.
ing to the securing of good speakers
and the defraying of the costs Ot
the campaign.
1t was suggested that each mem.
ber of the Club pay 81 toward
the expenses of securing speakers
etc, and, as that plan seems pop
ular with all, it will probably be
adopted.
Every voter in the County should
send his name to the Secretary fol
enrolment as a member of the
Bryan and Kern Club.
