residence on West Fifth street, on
Monday afternoon, from blood poi
soning and gangrene. He had
been i'll about two weeks.
During the past three years he
has been employed at Sunbury as
foreman of the carving department
of the Sunbury Table Company.
About six weeks ago he had an at
tack of pneumonia, which disabled
him for three weeks. From this
he had apparently recovered, and
returned to Sunbury, and in a few
days he had an attack of heart fail
ure and returned home. During
the past week gangrene set in his
left leg below the knee, caused by a
clot of blood in all artery. Ampu-
tation might have saved his life but
the condition of his heart would
not permit of the operation.
Mr.. Mushler was aged So years,
10 months and "a days and leaves

children: Ralph, Marguerite and
Earl; and sister, Mrs. Albert
Wendt, of Petersburg, Ohio. He
was born and raised in William
sport, and early in life learned the
trade of wood carver, and has al.
ways held responsible positions in
furniture factories. In 1895 he
came to Bloomsbury from William
sport and took charge of the carv-
ing department in the local furni-
ture factory. He retained this po-
sition until three years ago when
he resigned it to accept similar
one at Sunbury. He was an ex-
ceptionally fine carver, a man de-
voted to his family and good citi-
zen and had the respect and esteem
of a large circle of friends.
The funeral services were held
from his late residence Thursday
morning at 1890 o'clock. The
body was taken on the 1929 d. l..
and w. train to Williamsport and

BENTON SUMMER SCHOOL.

on May 10th. The faculty is COM

teachers:
General Supervisor: VIM. w.

Principal: +. E. Beare, Principal

The circular just issued makes
the following announcement:
The sixth annual session of the
Columbia County Summer School
will convene at Benton on Monday,
May 10th, and continue for term
of eight weeks-including Satur-
days.
The great changesin in educational
conditions and aims brought about
during the past few years in this
county have created a demand that
many of our teachers shall advance
in scholarship, that their methods
shall be more efficient, and that
they shall better understand the
course of study which they follow.
This school is primarily designed
10 assist those who want to do bet
ter work as we'll as those who are
preparing to take the Superintend-
ent's examination to teach.
1t is lamentable fact that many
teachers make the mistake of being
content with present achievements
some who could by comparatively
little effort do excellent work. In
this age of rapid progress and high
ly specialized training, such teachers
are sure to fall to the rear. Now
that the salary has been increased
the people of the country have a
right to demand better service.
The day has gone by when the peo-
pie will tolerate poor teacher, and
ere long those who are not progress
sive will find themselves out of en-
ployment.
Besides providing opportunities
for those interested in teaching, the
school is a good place for pupils of
the eighth grade and high school
scholars, who desire to strengthen
themselves in any of the common
or high school subjects. By this
means pupils are enabled to make
up back work, thus removing their
conditions and saving valuable time.
We are proud of the fact that
each year over a hundred earnest
students, consisting mainly of expe-
rienced teachers. have considered it
to their advantage to attend our
school, all going away enthusiastic
in its praises. Upon our roll may
be found Normal graduates, teach
ers holding permanent certificates,
those with provisional or profes-
sional license, high school students
and eighth grade pupils. 1t has
been very gratifying to note the
progress of many whose sole inspi-
ratiou toward higher and better a
chievements, was received at the
school.
In view of the strenuous work
our students are required to do, we

REASONS FOR DISCHARGE
 OF MRS. MAXWELL FROM MILL

The report of the discharge of Mrs. Eannie Harweli from . local cotton mill, apparently because she acceptso charity. created a no little comment m the city yesterday of which the Mont- lgomery cotton Mills at which she neo been employed considers unjust. The management of the Montgomery Cotton Mills. states that the impression that ahe was arbitrarily discharged for acc is~ untrue and untust.< Tine management. is quite sure the reasons for any action 1t took Tn the matter would be sufficient to satisfy lany reasonable person. Under the lpeculiar circumstances in the case they ldo not consider a public statement of Ithese reasons wise or necessary. But lif there are any persons in Montgom- lerv wishing to know the true, reasons back of the discharge the management will give them on enquirysa the of- flee.
 There is a great deal more behind
 the case than the discharge of Mrs. lIIarwell all of which will be cheer- fully told to those who are interested in the case.
 Mrs. Harwell, who had appealed to the Salvation Army. was sent to her
 home yesterday.
 Captain odom of the Salvation Army
 secured .. funds for her fEom A. L.

REFUSES TO ANSWER
;OarER,s SUIT AGAINST LOUISVILLE
 AND NASHVILLE.
The Railroad Is Ressatfng Attempt By the tsovernorsn Counsel to Force
 It to Answer Certain Interxogatoxies.

Birmingham, Feb. 4--fSpecial1 1---The Louisville and Nashville Railroad is resisting an attempt on the part of B B. Conner to force it to answer certain tn- terrogatorfes in the damage suit case of the latter against the former now pending in the City Court as result of an alleged publication of an affidavit in three newspapers.
 Attorney ". L Grubb, for the rail. road, devoted the entire morning Thursday in pointing out why the rail- road should not be forced to answer the questions and at o'clock Thursday afternoon Captain Frank 6. White. rep- resenting Governor Conner, commenced to point out to Judge charles W. Fer- guson why the interrogatories should be answered. Captain White said that the question 0f-s whether or, not the plaintiff was ready for trial would de- pend largely upon the courts ruling.
 It seemsS that In ti1e interrogatories propounaed to the railroad, the ratl- road was asked whether or not its of- ficers contributed to the campaign of John v. Smith, who opposed Governor Conner four years ago for the place of President or the Alabama Railroad Commission. There were various other questions along the same line and the interrogatorIes were not answered.
 In his argument Tuesday, Attorney zrubb eontended that the questions had nothing to do with the alleged nubIication and that even if 1t were ehown that the LouisyiI1e and Nash vile contributed to MT. Smiths cam paign, it would not necessarily show malice.
