It has be aal often and aptly
that bricks AID mortar don't make
a school. They constitute only the
component elements in the CON
struc.ion of the building But what
your school shall be is largely de-
termined by the nature OF the in
struction given within the walls
composed of brick and mortar.
And this instruction is a direct
reflection of the character Of those
people who dispense it. Then no
one can fail to see of what para
mount Importance is that part Of on
public school work which has TO
do with the selection Of teachers.
Imbued with such feeling Of
great responsibility the school Of
ficials of Farmville district have
labored earnestly this summer in
search for competent persons with
whom to intrust the youth Of our
community for the approaching ses-
sion. How well they have chosen.
time only can reveal but so con-
fident DO they feel on this score
that the following faculty is pre-
scented with pride to the patrons and
friends of our town high school:
Prof. F. NJ. Martin of Pulaski, an
A. B. graduate of Washington and
Lee University, whose experience
in educational work has extended in
his adopted State, Texas. from the
single room school through the
department of Assistant Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, will
discharge the duties Of principal.
AS a first assistant to Mr. Mar
tin we secured a young man who for
the past four years has spent
much Of his time in our midst, Mr..
J. w. Sinton, Jr., of Richmond, an
honor graduate of Hampden-Sidney
in the class of 1908, and the past
session he received Of the same in
stitution his NJ A. degree
AS a second assistant We viii
have Miss Sadie K. Buckins. of Pc
tersburg, whom we are assured will
prove an invaluable addition to our
teaching corps
OF our former teachers Miss No
IA Garrett and Miss Fannie 5. Wal
ker will again resume their duties,
and they need no word Of introduc-
ton or praise works speak
for themselves.
On Friday, Sept. 9th, at p m
all of the above named teachers are
required to assemble in the high
school building for their first facul-
ty meeting. Then the years work
will be apportioned as per a sched-
ule already prepared, and on Mon
day morning, Sept. 18th, at nine
O'Clock. the session will be formally
begun. wv
Each patron is requested to have
his children attend the first day.
and then see that they are on hand
every day thereafter, for only
through regular attendance will the
best results be possible.
Let us all, citizens patrons. and
children join forces with the teach
ers and make the session soon to
begin the best ever known in the
public schools of our community.

Saloon Keeper Secures War.
rant for Former Bank Nam
ager Now in Tennessee

William c. Hays, formerly mana ger
of the Union state bank, is not yet out
of the woods. Although he can not
be prosecuted for violating the banking
laws. A. NJ Tiedemann of Tiedemann
Brothers. saloon keepers, 700 McAllis-
arrest from Police Judge Conlan yes
terday on charge of obtaining money
by false pretenses.
The money for defraying the ex-
penses of eXtraditing Hays was fur
nished and a dispatch was sent to Po-
lice Chief Davis of Memphis. Tenn, to
rearrest him. AS soon as a reply is
received that Hays is again under ar
rest the papers for his extradition will
be made out and Detective Macphee
will be sent to bring him back.
Tiedemann explained that November
"a. 1908. his firm had an account with
the Union state bank, and that he was
informed by Hays that the latter was
about to incorporate the bank of Elm
hurst at Elmhurst, Alameda county, and
had authority to issue stock. Tiede-
mann was induced to take 10 shares
of the stock at 500 a share and gave
Hays his check for $1,000
When the Union state bank went into
liquidation claim was filed by Tiede-
mann for the 81 900, which was re-
jected. 1t was discovered that Hays
had deposited the $1,000 in a special
fund at the bank in his own name and
had drawn on this fund with his per-
sonal checks till It was exhausted. The
bank of Elmhurst was never incor-
porated and Tiedemann asserts that 1t
was simply a scheme launched by Hays
to obtain money from people on false
pretenses.
Detective Macphee. says more than 20
other businessmen have been swindled
in the same way by Hays. and when
Hays is brought here other complaints
will be filed against him.

WATER IN RESERVOIRS
NOT PERSONAL PROPERTY
Contra Costa Company Wins
Suit Against Tax Collector

The Contra Costa water company was
saved about $4,000 year in taxes un-
der a judgment rendered yesterday by
Judge Murasky in the suit begun by
the transbay corporation in 1908
gainst the tax collector of Alameda.
Following a decision of the supreme
court Judge Murasky held that water
in reservoirs is not personal property,
but is to be regarded as real property
going with the reservoirs themselves.
In 1908 Tax Collector James B. Bar
ber OF Alameda county assessed the
water in the San Leandro and Lake
Cha bot reservoirs as personal prop
erty. putting valuation upon the
water of s1,oo0,OO0. An injunction suit
was begun by the water company to
restrain the collection of the tax of
SLIP per 500 fixed for the year ending
June 80, 1904. and temporary restrain
ing order was granted This was the
suit in which Francis j. Heney was as
sociated with Garret McEnerney and
John CARRIER as counsel for the Contra
Costa water company. In the com
piaint many other assessments were
attacked, the company objecting to
being taxed upon its franchises and
upon it's pipes in the streets of Oakland.
Alameda and Berkeley, but on all
points, except as to the water in the
reservoirs the right of the county to
lcollect the taxes has since been cons
lceded
