band died in July, 1900, he left her a
fortune estimated ut s12 2,000,co0 invest

certain 1t is that she has decided to
close her property 20 the Tafts She is
reported TO have told her intimate
friends that the comfort of her own
guests has been interfered with by the
activities Of the secret service agents

and one OF her familiar complaints has
ben that the Taft Cottage stood be,

Those who have spent this summer
at Beverly smile at such excuses.
They say that Mira. Evans was delight

year and never spoke then of any Ital

Meanwhile Mrs. Taft has little

formed there. and the enjoyment he
has derived from the golf links and

Aristocracy Of Beverly Feels
That II Has Been Snubbed.
Explanation Behind the Refusal OF
Mrs. Evans to Rent Her Cottage

lily Again.

Boston.-1ne position oi Beverly.
Mass, as the nations summer capital
IS threatened. Mrs Robert Dawson
Evans, owner Of the beautiful villa
on Burgess Point, at which President
Taft and his family have spent the
last two summers, has refused to rGnt
the place again to the chief inasis'
trate.
The action OF Mrs. Evans Is no sar-
prise to those who have kept in
touch with the social gossip of che
Beverly colony. All summer it was
whispered that some OF the old fash
ioned folks at Beverly felt hurt be-
cause Of the strict social> lines drawn
around the presidents summer
home.
Naturally. the president cannot keep
open house, and the residents admit
no aristocracy OF both ancestry and
wealth at Beverly that is entitled to
consideration. And because, SO these
gossips maintain, there has beer dis.
elimination against some of those ,am-
lilies in making up the presidential
calling list, the time has arrived for
discreet retaliation.
Wild horses could not drag from
any Beverly matron an admission that
any such reasons lie behind the re.
fusal OF Mrs. Evans TO rent her cot
tage to the Tafts for next year. Mrs.
Evans herself offers the suggestion
that she has decided to pull down
the pretty building Oh Burgess Point

At a recent meeting in Spar
tanburg, S. c., a proposal was
made that a new office be created
for the county and that a prac-
tical farmer be selected to round
out the work of the county
superintendent of education and
visit all the schools Of the coun-
ty. Robson is such a large
county and las so many schools
that the superintendent of pub
lie instruction cannot give the
attention, unaided, to every
school in the county that should
be given. The farmers of the
county. too, are particularly anx-
ious that special attention be
given to the teaching of agri-
culture; so this would seem to
be an excellent plan for Robson
county to adopt.
