For several months Mr.. ]. E. Taylor,

life, and one week ago he went
under the knife at an infirmary in the
city. He rallied little, but finally
succumbed to the inevitable, dying last
Thursday night. The remains were
shipped to Whites Bottom. Cumber-
land county, where the funeral services
were conducted last Sunday by Rev. ].

ceased was member of Columbia
Chapter, No. z Royal Arch Masons,
and had been devout member of the
Presbyterian Church for number of
years. He leaves a wife and several
children. Peace to his memory.

The New School
Law Constitutional

The Court Of Appeals decided last
week, that the new school law was con-
stitutional, that mandamus would lie
to force the Fiscal Court to make the
levy and that the County Board of Ed
ucation has the right to determine the
amount of money needed by the schools.
About forty counties refused to make
the levy and unless it is made before
the first day of July the schools will be
seriously crippled. Judge Hancock in
forms us that ne will call meeting of
the Magistrates before that date to con-
slider this proposition. Whether the
law is good or bad, whether it pleases
or displeases it is an open, plain duty
to obey, and doubtless every county
will accept the situation without the
pressure of the courts.

Cutting ARRAY.

Late Thursday afternoon Adolphus
Newly and Sylvester Beachamp. two
colored men, were noticed standing on
Burkesville street, about twenty yards
from the square, conversing, If there
was trouble brewing, no one knew it.
Suddenly they were seen struggling,
and it was at once known that a fight
was on. Newly finally got his knife
from his pocket and stabbed Beau
champ twice about the back. AS soon
as the stabbing occurred, parties inter-
ferred, separating the combatants.
Beauchamp was not seriously hurt and
will be all right in few days. 1t is
said the trouble came up over a debt.
