AMATEUR BURGLARS GIVE
POLICE SOME TROUBLE
Special to The Herald.

SANTA MONICA, April 10.-Last
night witnessed what appears to have
been an epidemic of very amateurish
would-be burglary on this usually
placid beach, when three grocery stores
in different parts of town were broken
into in exactly the same manner and
nothing was stolen from either of them.
The groceries raided were those of
A. F. Johnson. 249 Third street; Lee H.
Young, Main and Hill streets, and Reed
q Young, 2 Zephyr avenue, Ocean
Park The circumstances in each case
were the same. The intruder or in
truders forced a window, entered and
ransacked the place and then left with
out carrying anything away.
The police are racking their brains as
they have seldom racked them before.

OF Historic Interest.

From a recent interesting letter
by Bishop Galloway, rehearsing
his visit to numerous points of
interest in the historic city of
Charleston, S. g., the following
paragraphs are taken:
When in Charleston | made a
curious historic discovery, and
learned for the first time that
negroes in the United States we're
ever slave owners. OF course |
knew that some Enthusiastically
Greenwood Letiore, chief of the
Choctaws, and others-had large
property in slaves, but was inno-
cent of the fact that negroes were
the slaves of other negroes. In
examining some bound volumes
of city record containing the tax
lists, found this entry: Maria
Watson (colored)-Real estate,
value, $41,575 Slaves, IA. "
Since this discovery have learn
ed of other cases in several States.
In the cemeteries adjoining,
the mighty dead are sleeping.
The greatest of these. aud in the
costliest tomb. the gift of South
Carolina, is John g. Calhoun,
member of Congress, United
States Senator, Secretary of War,
Vice President, Secretary of
State. There is grave of Raw
Inns Lowndes, Governor in ITS,
who requested that the epitaph
upon his tomb should be, ''The
opponent of the adoption of the
Constitution of the United
States;'' of Edward RutIedge,
signer of the Declaration of In
dependence; and of others high in
the civil and military councils of
the country. In the Eastern GEM
etery there is a slab with this
simple inscription: ''Mrs. Cor
neIia Fremont. This slab marks
the modest grave of the mother OF
Gen. John G. Fremont, the Path
finder" the first candidate of the
Republican party for the presi.
dency of the United States, and
a Federal General IN the Civil
War.

The Good Roads Meeting.

The good roads mass meeting
Monday was we'll attended by
representative citizens of the
county. The educational effects
of the speeches made and the pro-
viding for a delegation to attend
the Good Roads Convention to
convene at Jackson, Tenn. March
II and 12, were about the only
things of value accomplished at
this meeting, as the discussions re-
veaIed a wide diversity of opinion
as to what steps should be taken
to secure permanent good roads
in Lincoln county.
Addresses were made by
Messrs. S. p. Oliver, II. Casse-
dy, Frank Greer, Allen Smith,
w. Z. Smith, George Vernon, j.
M. AlIgood, o. B. Brown, W. f.
Parsons and others.
A motion was made by Sheriff
Greer to appoint the members of
the Board of Supervisors and one
other delegate from each of the

ments:
Beat Nv. f. Parsons.

The Board Of SuperYiSOrs.

The Board of Supervisors met
Monday, and is not likely to ad-
iourn before tomorrow. If the
Governor approves the bill author
izing a new land assessment this
year, the board will probably
pass an order for a new assess
ment before it adjuurns.
Most of the business transacted
by the board, so far, has been OF
the usual routine order, such as
receiving road petitions, reports
and examination and allowance of
accounts.
This afternoon the board will
make trip to Norfeld in body
to examine the new steel bridge
just about completed across Bogue
Chitto River near that place.

Some Startling FIGURES.

Hon. Frank Burkitt, chairman
of the Educational Committee,
filed statement in the House yes
terday as an argument against
extravagant appropriations to the
four State colleges, and to show
the difference between the amounts
appropriated per capita for
students at these colleges and chill
dren attending the common schools
in 1906-O7. His remarks and the
figures will be found interesting
and startling.
For instance, he shows that Of
the 81, ,250,0O0 appropriated an
nually for the education of the
children of the public schools,
that the per capita for each child
enrolled in the public schools is
So. IA, and that the per capita on
average attendance of $5.41.
That the per capita appropria-
ton on enrolment at the Alcorn
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
Iege is $50, and on the average at
tendance SOL.
That the per capita appropria-
tion on enrolment at the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College is
$228.4 and on average attend
ance $685..
That the per capita appropria
tion on enrolment at the State
University is $304.43, and on
average attendance $380.65.
That the per capita appropria-
tion on enrolment at the Indus
trial Institute and College is
$100.73, and ON average attend
ance $122.11.
Capt. Burkitt calls attention to
the increased appropriations ask
ed for the years 190S-09, and asks
consideration for the facts he
has presented. Daily Clarion
Ledger, 22nd.

The Bank of MeadviIle has had
to close it's doors on account of
the misappropriation of its funds
by Cashier Hardy. A signed
statement by a committee consist
ing of Messrs. Fl. Cassidy and L.
H. Pritchard shows that Mr..
Hardy's shortage consists of mon
ey taken from the bank and used
by him for his own benefit and
benefit of the PinoIa Lumber Co.,
a partnership composed of himself
and brother, and aggregates over
$23, 900, or within $1,000 of the
whole capital stock. The Banks
books, the committee says, shows
that it is solvent, and that its as
sets are ample to pay its creditors
and depositors, though the stock
holders are likely to lose the most
of the stock they put into it.
