sassin'-a man so frenzied by the drug
that he accomplshes MURDERS used
by the Pers:lns, Turks and Egyptians
in manner akin to the nse Of opium
by the Chinese. 1t Is the product Of q
plant grown In large quantities in the
Pcloponnesus Southern Greece, In the
district about Tripoltza. The plant
grows TO height Of about four feet,
and its branches are thickly covered
with small leaves and studded with
tiny seeds. The entire plant. stalk and
branches, Is cut within few inches of
the root and laid out in the sun to dry.
The branches are then rubbed to sepa-
rate the seeds, and these in turn are
ground into fine powder, which con-
stitutes the drug. The drug has the

HALF MILLION OF FISH.

At Beaufort, N. c., Septembel
10, about half a million of fish
which are used for fertilizing anC
which produce oil which is shipped
north and used for many purposes
were caught by the fishermen, anc
many vessels are still fishing.
Every drop of oil that it is posi-
BILE to save is barreled for the mar.
ket. First, the fish are taken di
rect from the vessel and put into
steam watts, where they are cooked
Then they are put under ahydraul-
ic press where the oil is squeezed
out.
Next, the fish are passed quickly
through steam drier. The ma
terial obtained is called scrap. II
is then bagged and put on the mar
ket, bringing a price of from $50 to
$50 per ton.
The vessels engaged in this kind
of fishing employ about 100 men
and the factories give employment
to many others. The fishing lasts
until November, and as a result of
this industry many thousands of
dollars a year are taken from the
sea in fish.

THE BRISTOL -STAUNTON CONTESTS.

Considerable interest attaches to
the outcome of the court contests
now pending in Bristol and Staun-
ton over the result of recent local
option elections. In the former
case the "wets" won by a decisive
majority, md an appeal was taken
by the "drys," principally upon
the allegation that large number
of votes were cast by non-residents.
The case has been fought with great
skill by able attorneys and the i'm
precision seems to prevail that
Judge Kelley will render a decision
unfolding the validity of the cleo
ton, thereby establishing a period
of saloon license in Bristol. In that
event it is likely that about fifteen
licenses will be granted, including
number of mail order houses.
In Staunton the situation is al
most exactly reversed. The "drys"
carried the election by a substan-
tial majority and it was the liquor
people who instituted the contest.
Their petitions was based largely on
allegations of technical Irregular
ties, though it was also alleged that
a considerable number of illegal
votes were cast. Judge Holt dismiss
ed practically all of the technical OBJ
jections that were cited against the
legality of the election, but permit
ted the "wets" to produce evidence
touching illegal votes. 1t now
turns out that little or no testimo-
NY along that line has been taken
and the "drys" are confident that
the election will stand, thereby put
ting Staunton under a no-license
regime. Under the law, the case
must be decided at the September
term of court. notwithstanding Daily
News.

Springfield Republican: THERE'S
controversy over the low tempera-

important thing is that he didn't

A CARD,

In reply to Uncle Jee's criticisms
made against the district school
board of Blue Grass District from
time to time, and Uncle Jce's Neph-
ew's unfriendly letter in last week S
issue of the RECORDER:
To make such criticisms through
our County paper is not only un-
wise, but is also disloyal to the
cause of education in the district.
Who may be the trustees of our
school board is of great importance.
These men are honest and trust
Worry, have ability and are per-,
fectly competent to manage and
control the schools of the district.
They will do what is best for the
success of our High School and will
take care Of the taxpayers.
Our school board should be
praised for the good work done as
whole in the building of five
thousand-dollar school building (the
finest in the County,, not for the
Spring Run and New Hampden
schools alone, but to better educa-
tional advantages throughout the
entire District.
Uncle Joe asked the question,
"Would it have been built if the
matter had been left to the pa
irons and tax-payers?" Would
we have ever seen Uncle Joe and
Nephew, or a school house had it
not been for the patrons and tax
payers? 1t is a fact that when the
high school building was first pro-
posed it was thought wise, by the
| trustees and citizens, to consolidate
the schools in lower Crabbottom,
but just prior to the meeting re-
ferred to by Uncle Joe's Nephew,
one Of our high officers of the Dis
trict was asked to assist the board
of trustees in the advisability Of
selling the schoolhouses and con-
solidating the schools, but the said
officer did not want to meet the
proposition, and refused to aid the
trustees in carrying out the plan of
the High School.
Trustees run it.
Constructive criticism, through
the proper channels, is always de-
sirable; public and malicious criti-
cisms are never beneficial and are
generally reported by men who
have some personal axe to grind;
men who are not really seeking to
advance the best interests of the
schools, but are either boosting
their profession or trying to get
their name on long pension roll.
There should be no bitterness in
the discussion of questions affect
the welfare of our high school. Per-
sonal criticism is not an evidence
of greatness. The good of educa-
ton and the success of our schools
should be the first consider alton.
While the agitation has not grown
to any considerable height, and
has been practically confined to
Just few and has about. run it's
course, it is time to suggest that we
stand together as an unit and be
fair and equitable both to the trus-
tees and teachers appointed, which
will mean sure success to the High
School. A PATRON.

TASK OF TAKING NEXT CENSUS.

Director Of the Census, purand.
has lately announced the appoint
ment of formidable corps of ex-
perts, statisticians, sociologists and
political economists to aid him In
the work of obtaining the data OF
the next census. They are retain
ed especially to help in preparation
of the list of inquiries, which is
looked on as one of the most vital
phases of the Forthcoming enumer-
alton. 1t is announced that agri-
culture, manufacturers and popula-
ton are to be given special con,
sideration.
This serves to call attention to
the gigantic nature of the task that
confronts the Census Bureau. TAX
ing everything into consideration
it is the biggest job of enumeration
and compilation that has ever been
undertaken. Some figures given
by a magazine writer lately empha-
size the huge nature of the task
confronting the Census officials. To
say nothing of the fact that the
population of the country is
about 10000, 900, it appears the
wealth of the country is $l20, 000.-
900 600. The business of the coun-
try amounts to SO 900, 900, 900 eve
ry year, and in the banks of the
nation is deposited 81 800, 900.
To collect the necessary data on pop
ulation is in itself a vast work, and
the more so as it will be gone into
in this enumeration with unusual
thoroughness, if all the plans are
carried out. When it comes to
taking a census of agriculture, it is
to be remembered that American
farms are valued at about $25 900,
900 900 and that the annual pro-
duction of farm crops amounts to
So, 900, 100000.
And in the matter of taking a
census of manufactures, it appear
ed that the country produces $751;
0O0, 900, 900 in manufactured arti-
cles every year, and that the annu-
al wages paid in the manufacture
ing industries amount to $3.50, 000,-
600. And there are various other
phases of the taking of a complete
census which will have to be ex-
plored. Anyone having any doubt
as to whether there are busy times
ahead for Mr.. Durand and his SUI
bordinates should mediate briefly
on some of the nine-cipher Stats
tics which one encounters when he
comes to figure on the proportions
of the growth of the United States.
