No. II Hammond street, Professor
James B. Hodges, principal of the
Southside schol on South Church

The complaint was made by the

was highly indignant and said that
REGARDLESS of what Melvin's offense
had been, Professor Hodges had no
right to inflict such a terrible whip
ping as he declared the boy received.
According to the boy he was pun

to spell in syllables. On Tuesday he
told reporter he was given the word
"gladden'' to spell. He knew how to
spell it, but Miss Thomas, the teach

NAME FIDDLING BOB.
Regulars Nominate Taylor for Gov.
ernor of Tennessee.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 6.-United
States Senator Robert L. Taylor was
this afternoon nominated for COVER
nor by the regular Democratic con-
vention, although his senatorial term
does not expire until 1912. No 9th
er name was presented to the conven-
ton, the demand being for Taylor
and no one else.
Senator Taylor, at p. M, ap-
peared in the convention hall and, af-
ter an ovation, accepted the nomina-
tion.
In the main, the convention, which
was largely attended, was harmon
iuos throughout, though there was a
little breeze when Senator Tolett
endeavored to have the platform
amended so as to provide for re-
ference of the liquor question to a
vote of the people. The amendment
was finally voted down, the original
platform being adopted. The tenn
perance plank reads as follows:
"The Democratic party has at all
times been the consistent friend of
temperance reform in Tennessee and
other Southern States.
eve therefore declare that the
temperance question should not be
an issue in a gubernatorial campaign.
''The great controlling issue in
this compaign is whether Tennessee
shall be turned over to a boss-ruled
Republican machine in bargain by
which the public Offices of the State
are sought to be treated as merchan-
disc for barter and sale between poll
ticians ano party bosses. The repu-
diation of this humiliating attempt
to barter away the honor of the State
is the first duty of every patriotic
Tennesseean.
The platform is mainly devoted to
State affairs.
1t is understood headquarters will
be opened at once. Senator Taylor
will take the stump within the week.

SPINSTERS CONDEMNED.
Hamilton Says They Are Unfit to
Teach Girls

Il do not believe that girls who are
just passing into young womanhood
are in the proper environment when
they are continually brought into
close personal touch with elderly un-
married women," says President
Frederick Hamilton, head of Tufts
college and widely known as an edu~
Gator.
The large proportion of women's
colleges are in the hands of women
teachers, however, and the education
al atmosphere of the places is femi-
nine, the peculiar type of femininity
developed by highly cultured, middle
aged, unmarried women. Now, while
the type may be very fine individu-
ally, it is not the proper one to
create the atmosphere for girls at the
formation period of their lives. These
girls are receiving their most valu-
able impressions and forming their
future attitude toward the questions
of this time. Their outlook on life,
which 1 believe is the most import
ant part of college training, should
be broad, and it can not be so unless
formed in an environment of breadth.
''The girls at college live in a pure
ly academic life. They are on their
resources and they face problems that
are quite new to them. They are to
be trained to be competent and i'm
portant parts of life, we hope. They
need a large outlook and a broad
viewpoint. The elements which go
to give these must be brought into
their lives at their psychological
time, and all elements which tend to-
ward narrowness should be elimi-
mated. boston Dispatch to New

ABORIGINAL ROASTING EARS.
Aborigines Were Eating Them When
Capt. John Smith Arrived.

We do not know what the Indians
called roasting ears, but there is no
question that this was one of the prin-
cipal articles of diet of the aborigines
when Capt. John Smith and his fel-
low colonists established themselves
in this virgin country. A man who
was born in Maine and has lived all
about said that the term was first
used in England; but we doubt that,
as the records would appear to show
that we were making laws in Virginia
before the Pilgrims landed at Plym-
outh Rock or thereabout, one writer
saying that the first legislative assem-
bly, that ever convened in the coun-
try was held in Virginia seventeen
months before the eternally lauded
Pilgrims ever landed upon Plymouth
Rock and ten years before the colony
of Salem and Boston increased their
meagre numbers beyond the hun
dred.'
In Bruce's Economic History of
Virginia in the Seventeenth Century"
page 173, Volume 1, we are told:
"The custom which the Indians fol-
lowed in eating their meals was
simple. A mat was spread on the
ground and on this the dish was
placed, the broiled fish and roasting
ears being laid near at hand" Again,
in the same book, page ITS, there is
this note: ''In June, July and Au-
gust they fed on fish, the roots OF
the tuckahoe, berries and roasting
ears"
The chances are therefore that
corn, which was so important an ar
ticle of their diet, was called "roast-
ing ears" or the equivalent in the In
dian tongue, as it is reasonable to as
sumo that they did not eat it raw or
uncooked. We are of the opinion
that roasting ears" is "a good Vir-
ginia expression, "inasmuch as in Vir-
ginia the white man first used corn
on the table or mat after the man
ner of the indians, and as it was
roasted before it was eaten the pre-
sumption is that it was called "roast-
ing ears" The term appears to have
been used in Virginia since the seven
teenth century and doubtless before
there were any Dutch in Pennsyl-
yania. Times-Dispatch.

FLAMES DEYOUR VILLAGES
THREE HUNDRED VICTIMS IN
MINNESOTA FOREST FIRE.
Bodies of Victims Being Brought in
From Devastated Territory by
the Wagon Load.

War Road, Minn., Oct. 9.-The
greatest catastrophe that Minnesota
has experienced since the Hinckley
catastrophe occurred Friday night
and Saturday when the whole Mime
sota-Manitoba boundary country was
swept by fire, and as details become
known the disaster assumes appalling
proportions.
The number of deaths tonight is
estimated from 100 to 200; almost
entirely among settlers in the woods
around the towns of Beaudette, Pitt,
Roosevelt and Graceton. Very few
of the settlers are known to have es-
capped, and this estimate will likely
fall considerably short of the actual
number.
Scenes of horror are reported on
every hand. People lost their heads
completely and ran aimless about be-
wailing their loss. Streets of towns
were strewn with personal belong
ings which were thrown away in
their fight.
Men Act Cowards' Part.
Crowds of able bodied men, mostly
workmen with no persons to care for,
ran pell NELL to board the waiting
train at Beaudette, to the exclusion OF
women and children and refused pos
itively to assist in saving property
An east bound freight went through
a burned culvert near Pitt and block
ed the line.
The village of Pitt was burned Fri
day night and later the towns OF
Spooner and Beaudette, six miles dis
tant, were in flames. A high WIND
was blowing at the time and within
ten minutes after the appearance OF
the fire the inhabitants Of the town
were forced to fee for their lives, un-
able to save any of their property.
Showers Of Sparks.
The fire was heralded by a shower
of sparks and burning brands, which
swept across the Beaudette river and
the inhabitants had hardly time to
reach the train which was waiting.
Then was enacted scenes never to
be forgotten by those present. Sick
people apparently by the score were
carried or assisted to points of safety.
There were five patients in hospital
which was burned. One woman who
had given birth to child the same
evening had to be carried to the
Office of the Shevlin-Matthieu Lum-
Der company, in whose building many
people took refuge.

him. Sheriff Hood with seven depu-
ties. armed with shotguns, turned
them back. A hurry call for all the
police was sent out. The mob dis
persed, as the sheriff threatened to
kill the first man that approached

S, A. L. GOES TO FLORENCE.
Concessions Granted and Road Will
Enter Gate City.

Florence, Oct. S.-The Seaboard
Air Line will come to Florence.
That is an undisputed fact. The deal
was closed Thursday Of this week
when Mr.. Bonsal visited Florence and
arranged all matters for the coming
with a committe of citizens, who had
the matter in charge with fu! power
to act in the premises. The site for
the depots and yards have been ar
ranged for, but as the entire matter
was kept so quiet and the newspaper
correspondents were completely ig-
nored and cut out from being advis-
ed of the deal, it will be kept Sc
cret for several reasons until the
whole arrangement has been thor
oughly closed.
1t is authoritatively stated, how
ever, that all concessions asked for
by Mr.. Bonsal were granted, and
there was not the slightest delay in
"coughing up" on the part of Flor
ence and Florentines.
This is the best news that has
been handed out over the "grape
vine" wire concerning Florence and
Florentines that has been given out
in long time.
The Seaboard has already started
work from McBee to Hartsville, Dar-
lington, and they will rush the work
on into Florence at the earliest pos
sible moment. Rail is now being
laid on the McBee end, and it will
take only short time to reach Harris
vile, after which the Darlington
stretch will be begun and then the
Florence stretch.
