kiNowooD, Dec. -.
Editor Argus,
In the fall or early part of the winter
OF 1908 a nonresident colorcd girl was en-
ploycd 10y our school officials 10 teach the
kingwood colored school. During the
progress of the school circumstances de-
vclopcd the fact that the girls character
was not such as would warrant the board
Of trustees, or the board OF education, as
the case may be, i'm retaining her longer
as n teacher. However, no action was
taken in the matter and she taught the
full term. Strange 10 say the same OIL
cials waived the character charges and
employed the same party TO teach the
present term.
Your correspondent is not advised az
To whether there was any effort made to
punish the girl for alleged criminal acts
prior to the sitting Of the grand jury at
this term of court, but is advised that the
otlenses charged were no secret and that
the school officers especially had personal
knowledge of the girls character when
they employed her a second time. We are
advised that some of the colored sisters
brought the matter before the grand Jury
for their consideration and action, and
that n true bill was found. We are further
advised IA evidence Of guilt that the
naughtyibird has flown TO parts unknown.
While all of the foregoing is plain to
the writer, and we believe will be 20 the
reader, in so far as the colorcd school
marin IL concerned, we fail 20 understand
why our school officers would employ II
teacher a second time, knowing that she
was ineligible, at least as regards char
acter.
Under all the circumstances we sec no
good reason why the indictment was with
held from publication. We are quite sure
IL was not done i'm the interest Of the coll
ored girl, and must therefore conclude
that " done purposely IL was done TO
shadow the officers in their unlawful act
OF employing a teacher whose moral char
acter was decidedly questionable. II this
he the motive the action Of the grand jury
is being held mp 10 their detriment 10
cover the sins of others. We speak Of
this for the reason hat such things have
been done before and the light should be
turned on. let those that are touched
squeal or stand condemned.

AFTER WoMEN's FREAK
 AND DANGEROUS HATS.

The women of the state of Illinois are having troubles multiplied recent ly. They had scarcely quieted down after kicking vigorously because the tarsf tinkers in washinton had at- tempted to tamDer with their hosiery when one NIT. carmack, member of the Illinois legislature assailed them at the other end with a bill intend ed to prescribe what kind of head gear they should wear. The bill is a violent protest against the tubs, barrels. kegs and mountains. the weeping-wiIlow plumes and the lengthy and cruel pins with which the creations are fastened on the heads of the dear ladies.
 In extenuation os his offense. Mir. cermack pleads that he Is a Chicago strsphanger. and he has borne pa tiently pokes in the eye. clips on his nose. and being smothered to the fainting point by wildernesses of waving plumes and gardens of roses, bat when the lengthy hidden dag gers began to jab him in the head and face he drew the line and imme. diately drafted the bill.
 He declares he recently tried to dodge washtub. covered with a mass of flowers ten inches deep. but was caught in the ear by another craftily concealed pin, and it made him mad and he has declared war.

FINAL COUNTY
 COMING TO FRONT.

The Florence Blade sees prosperity ahead for Pinal county, both in min eral and agricultural industries. jude- ing from the following. which appear. ed in it's last issue:
 A few years from this date Pinal county will lead all her competitors in contributions of copper, gold. sil- yer and lead to the worlds produc- ton of metallic wealth. She has more ore in sight on the surface of her verg.n mineral fields. than has any other section of the same area on the Pacific coast, and this truth is rapidly dawning upon keen-eyed min ing men. This class of mine opera tors are now entering this field in droves, and rapid and surprising de yelopments will quickly follow. The same is true of our agricultural and horticultural possibilities. The larg- est unbroken area of agricultural, fruit and orange land in Arizona lies in this valley, on the border of our matchless mineral belt. There are 415, 900 acres Of fertile, irrigabie land in this valley, every acre of which will grow in unsurpasser luxuriance. every crop known to the temperate or semi-tropical zones. Owing to its climate conditions and character of soil it is also an ideal orange belt. And with a proper storage and di- version system there is ample water in the Gila to irrigate the major DOT ton of 1t, and this water cannot be ex- celIed for irrigation purposes as it is entirely free from alkali or saline matter. and is rich in phosphates. Come to Pinal and pitch your tent in advance of the rush that will occur before many more years shall have rolled by. It Is the storehouse of opportunity; come, open the door. and take your choice in advance. if you want the best.

NOTICE.
BOARD TAKES
 THE INITIATIVE


 The Risbee Board of Trade has taken the initiative in the important matter of promoting a grand celebra- ton of the Fourth of July in this city.
 The Board of Trade has called a public meeting of the public spirited citizens of Bisbee. Lowell and War ren to consider what is necessary to provide one of the greatest celebra- tions ever witnkssed in Arizona in the great Warren district. Not only members of the board of trade but every public spirited citizen in tEe district from Don Luis to Tombstone Canyon is expected to attend the public meeting next Tuesday.
 The steps thus taken by the Board Of Trade Trade is a proper one and reminds Us that the Board of Trade is alive to the interests of Bisbee as it has always been since it's or ganization.
 h this connection we desire ta call attention to the necessity and advisability for every business man  and property owner in this district to give their hearty support to the Board of Trade. Like all organizations of the kind the bulk of the work must fall on a few men. but these few will go about heir work with more energy and determination if they are made to feel that they may call freely on those who compose the business community for support and assist ance in their undertaking.
 We believe that the efforts and ac- complishments of the Bisbee Board of Trade have been appreciated by the citizens. but notwithstanding this there has recently been lack of en thusiasm which characterized the earlier life of this commercial organ ization.
 The outlook for Bisbee was never brighter than now and during ths present year, there viii be much tc do to keep up with the industrial growth. which will be coming along soon to this favored section of the southwest. There should be walk ing up of the Board ot Trade and thi: can be done best by waking up every individual member. composing the bus mess community.
 It is the duty of all to help tht Board of Trade and respond liberail, when called on for assistance.
