WANTS NEAR-BEER
TAX FOR TEACHERS

Immediate relief for the common school
teachers in the matter Of delinquent sal
aries is in sight. If the legislature. which.
convenes next week, adopts the recon-
mendation of Governor Smith that the
''near-beer'' tax which has accumulated
In the state treasury be applied to paying
them their due. The governor VIII IN
corporate this suggestion in his message.
The accumulated "near-beer" tax now
approximates nearly $4,000 ard, under
the close and careful management OF
the states finances by the governor, the
Indebtedness to the teachers has fallen
to a little more than $4,000. The immedi-
ate application Of $4,000 would, 1t will
be seen, reduce the indebtedness consid-
erably, and enable the incoming admin
istration TO handle the situation with
ease.
In recommending the application OF the
"neer-beer'' tax to the pay Of teachers
the governor will suggest that the idea
OF purchasing an additional farm for the
convicts be abandoned. His trip othe
state farm has convinced him that 1t is
plenty large to meet the 9Ernands Of the
state for a farm.

FRENCH PARDONS
BOUGHT AND SOLD

PARIS. June 1s.-French authorities
are at present inauiring into a very ex-
traordinary scandal, which the press de-
scribes as a traffic in pardons. 1t is sug-
gested that criminals who in France can
make an appeal for pardon through the
minister of justice, have been released on
paying sums of money to certain respon-
sible individuals.
The scandal came TO light in this man
ner. Recently a man was sentenced Lor
swindling. 1t was suggested to him that
he could obtain a pardon, and he enter
ed into negotiations with a man residing
in the Boulevard Perieres who brought
him in touch with a person at Puteaus
The latter assured the convicted swind-
Ter that he knew an officer VINO was
personal friend of the director of crtmi-
nal affairs in the ministry of justice, and
that if his good Offices were recognized,
a pardon would result The man paid
the money demanded and awaited the
quashing of the sentence passed upon
him, but instead of being pardoned he
was invited to undergo his punishment.
This made him furious and he made
complaint to the keeper of the seals.
An inquiry was instituted and as a re-
suit an artillery captain was visited by
NJ. Hamard, the chief of criminal inves-
tigation department, and VI. Snrde, the
examining magistrate. Certain papers
were seized, and it alleged that those
prove the officers cupability. The cap
tain who protests his innocence will be
examined one of the first days OF next
week
The person at Puteaus. who is describ-
ed as an agent d'affaires also received a
visit. as a result of which he also was
arrested and there is every reason to be-
lieve that very influential persons will be
drawn into the affair

I think so many of the letters have
been uplifting and consoling.
1 enjoyed Chat on the great musical
festival in Atlanta, also the one telling
US about the Young Woman's Christias

grand institution in every city. OF cours :
always like Chat, because 1t never fails
TO be good. but there are times when Miss
Thomas strikes off the sentiment of my
mind and heart so thoroughly that l de-
sire to tell her so. And one of those times
was just a few weeks ago. when she gave
US some ideas about how TO have good
schools the right commissioner, the COM
petent teacher and then the support OF
the school patrons without fail.
II we could have this without a com
pulsory law. it seems il would be best;
but I verify believe tSat the time is ripe
for the compulsory school law. Being a
district teacher. I see where IL would be,

enjoy the golden summer time, when we
receive so many blessings almost direct

ally reminded Of the loving kindness OF
our Heavenly Father. With best wishes to

who is getting along into his 18th year,
is one of triplets, all of whom are liv-
ing. 1t is probable that th.re has neve:
been a case of similar longevity.
But as Mr.. Gibbs himself says: How
could it have been otherwise? His mother
lived on to the age of 81. and an uncle to
the rare age of 1O4. An older brother is
81 years and in prime health. He points
out that if he and his two brothers were
not full of life at an age when other
folks are past worldly delights they
would not be true members of the Gibbs
family.
Mrs. Gibbs herself comes of stock that
lives long. and her children are fine and
healthy. She has eight.
It's because we've worked hard says
Mr. Gibbs. II always worked hard in
my day. It's gone now, but 1 hit some
god licks when it was here"
Both he and his wife COMPUTE the theory
that one must be country-bred to live a
long life.

Mrs. Gibbs.
Mr. Gibbs has made his home here for
the past forty-five years.
"And to look at our ages you wouldn' {
think we were puny or sickly folks, would
your" asks Mrs. Gibbs.
Its Just on account of the hard work
we've done. William here never rested
till he worked out, and 1 tell you I've al
ways kept on my feet. When you raise
eight children you have your hands full.
But we've always been as happy as larks.
That's on account of the work, too. tell
you works good thing.
The three triplets, of which Mr.. Gibbs
is one, are all boys as he puts it. The
other two live in Wilkes county. North
Carolina, at the old home place. They are
in prime health. Mr.. Gibbs himself has
been ailing for about four years. He says
that it's hard for man who has WORKED
