Then let us all strive to have

COLUMN.
Moral Training in the Public
Schools,

When we consider the great
responsibility THAT rests upon us
teachers in training the future
men and women of our country
into habits of moral living, surely
too much cannot be said of the
Importance Of this part of the
teachers work. Why should the
school teach this? Because the
school alone reaches all the chill
dren ; it's work IS to train the cit
liens of our country, train to com
plete manhood.
And it is to the teacher in the
elementary school that this sub
iect of character formation is of
paramount Importance. While
the teacher of High School or col
leges should strive in every way
possible to promote the moral con-
duct of his pupils, yet the great
est responsibility rests upon those
who have the child in charge dur
ing the first seven or eight years
of his school life. The character
of most boys and girls is practi-
cally established by the time they
leave the elementary school. For
this reason then the teacher must
see to it that good habits are es-
tablished, and that those things
that contribute to his moral
growth not be omitted. If the
education of the child is wanting
in moral training it is indeed de-
fcient The teacher should real
ize the fact that the supreme end
of education is moral character
that this is the standard of the
ages by which every one is tried,
not only in mans sight, but in
Gods, which is the final and de-
termining sight.
Then how is this end to be
reached? The first agency is
through the example Of the teach
er, whose moral life should be
above reproach. Many a man
can trace all that he possesses of
good character to some noble per-
son whom he took as his example
in early life, and whose practice
he tried to initiate. The silent
influence Of a pure life in the
school as we'll as elsewhere does
much to counterfeit the evil infu-
ence of home and street.
In the second place, from many
of the daily incidents of the
school may be drawn valuable
lessons. Obedience must be in
sisted upon; cruelty not ignored;
honesty, truthfulness, regularity.
promptness-all play their part in
the formation of right ideas, and
the establishment of character.
In the third place, every lesson
taught may have a moral aim.
The deeds of great men inspire the
child to similar deeds; the power
of self-control if gained when he
can keep his mind on the work
before him in spite of surrounding
distractions; the beauties of art as
shown in pictures or in music
help to refine the spirit; in the
lessons themselves there are
truths which teach the lesson we
wish to impart.
Then we would not forget the
moral effect produced by pleasant
and healthful surroundings
Goethe says, t"The best instruc-
ton is derived from the most
complete environment" Clean
illness, neatness, the presence of
pictures on the walls, good ex-

The subject of this sketch was
born in Perry county, Ala, Feb.
4th, 1882.
When about two years of age he
came to this county with his par
ents who settled near Macon at
what is now the L. E. Eiland
place. When Fquite a young man
he moved 5 miles northeast of
Macon, where he died January
18th 1910, having lived there
more than SO years. MI. Hunter
was a brave soldier, was among
the first to volunteer when war
was declared between the states,
feeling it a duty to serve his coun-
try and fellOw-man.
During these years of hard
ships and privations there was no
complaint on his part, he fought
bravely to the end, receiving only
slight wounds.
After the war was over which
left our Southland in wreck and
ruin Mr.. Hunter came home gath
ering together what property he
had left, and started life over. He
was married June 2Sth, 1866 to a
most estimable lady, Miss Matte
Cotton.
To his union God gave five chill
dren, Clifton, Mimms and Charles
Hunter, Jr., and two little girls
who died in infancy. His wife
lived only eight years, and from
the time of her death till his, he
lived the greater part of the time
just alone with his boys.
Mr.. Hunter was one of the most
charitable Of men, no one ever
called on him for help and went
away empty-handed. When he
would hear of any one in distress
or needing help in any way, he
wouldn't wait to be called on, but
would either go or send it to
them. He did this in a very qui-
ct manner, never boastingly, new
err to be praised of men.
He had no set rule for giving,
but his gifts to the Lords cause
always amounted to a tenth, and
numbers of times it was more. He
was not a wealthy man by any
means, but was one of a very few
who said he had all of this worlds
goods that he wanted, surrounded
by plenty his last days were not
burdened with a strain of financial
affairs.
MI. Hunter was not a member
of any church, but I firmly be-
lieve he was 8 christian, he be-
lieved in the doctrine of the Bap-
tist church. He suffered about
seven months before his death,
but he bore this suffering with
such patience, never complaining,
always expressing so much graf
itude to any and all who did the
least thing to relieve him.
He is missed; his chair is va
cant, his voice is stilled, but may
we live in the hope of meeting
him in that home of Eternal Day,
where all is peace and love.

PARIS STRIKE SEEMS
 ID BE WEAKENING
Arrest of Leaders and Call to CoIors
 Somewhat Effective.

Paris, Oct 13.-The arrest of some of the most prominent strike leaders and failures of a large majority of the employees of the Eastern railroad, Paris, Lyons & Mediterranean and Paris Orleans roads to respond to the strike order have had the effect of dampening the spirits of the strikers, who now number about 100000.
 Many of those who have been called to the colors have responded, but as yet they have not been ordered to do service on the railroad. The subway employees, who last night voted to strike, remained at their posts today. Tonight, however, the strike declared by the electricians is partially effec- tive. About half the city of Paris, in- cluding sections of the boulevards, is without electric light. Many electric cars are stranded.
 Communication with points from which food supplies are brought will be kept open at any cost.

PLANS APPROVED FOR
 RAISING THE MAINE
Spain Will Be Invited to Inspect the
 Wreck.

Beverly, Mass, Oct. 13.-President Taft today finally approved the plans for raising the wrecked battleship Maine. The work is to be completed on or before the fourteenth anniver- sary of the destruction of the war ship. February 15 next. The presi- dent believes the paramount object is to determine for all time the cause of the explosion. He has invited Spain to send a representative to be present.
 The disposition of the old hulk re- mains to be settled. The army engi- neers believe it to be possible to float the after two-thirds. If congress ap- proves the recommendation of the en- gineers, the wreck will be taken out to sea and given a ceremonial of burial in deep water. Various plans have been suggested of exhibiting the wreck and preserving it, but none of these finds favor with the authorities at Washington. Congress recently ap- propriated $3O0,O66 for raising the wreck
 No portion of the wreck is to be disturbed until full opportunity is had to view and study it. To this end. the first thing will be the construc- tion of a cofferdam of interlocking steel billings large enough to give clearance of fifty feet on all sides of the wreck The pumping out of the water when the dam is completed will be an impressive event.

RAILROAD PRESIDENTS /
 BEFORE COMMISSION
They Tell of the Increased Cost of
 Operation

Washington. Oct. 13.-Two presi- dents of great American railroad sys- ters today testified before the inter- state commerce commission concerning the proposed advance of freight rates in eastern trunk line territory.
 They were President Daniel L. Will lard of the Baltimore & Ohio and President w C. Brown of the New York Central lines. Both argued for the advance. Marked similarity char acterized the statements of the two president. Neither placed responsi bility for the proposed increase in wages. although both asserted that the wage increase had been an important factor.
 President Brown declared that the Improvement of railroad properties. so as to furnish adequate transportation facilities. could be accomplished only through an increase of freight income
 President Willard said he could see no way for the Baltimore & Ohio to

"A, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER IA, 1910

furnish prompt and adequate service without an increase in freight rates. Our expenses have been increased during the last five years by legisla- tiOn,'' he said. The act regulating the hours of labor and the employers lia-
 bility act, to both of which I am op- posed, have added to the cost of op- erating railroads. I do not think the present rates high enough and would not think so even though there had been no recent increase in wages"
 President Willard expressed the opinion that the stockholders of the Baltimore & Ohio are entitled to re .ceive not less than s per cent divi- dends. He suggested that the financial credit, not only of the Baltimore G Ohio company, but other lines. prac- tieally was in the hands of the inter state commerce commission.
 President Brown said the increase of wages on that system amounted to S,S31.000 a year, with an additional s175,000 per year to take effect Janu- ary l.

TAFT WILL VISIT
 IsTHMUs NEXT MONTH
Arrived at a Final Decision Yesterday
 Afternoon.

Beverly, Oct. 13.-President Taft will sail for the Isthmus of Panama No vember 10 from Charleston. s. c. on the cruiser North Carolina, conveyed by the sister ship Montana. He will be gone about twelve days. The presi- dent had practically given up the idea of visiting the canal this year until Colonel Goethals, chief engineer, visit ed him this afternoon and convinced him that the problems confronting the officials in Panama require his pres ence. Some of the problems are the extent and character of the fortifica- tions; fixing the tolls; proposed in crease in wages; future management of the Panama railroad; form of gov ernment of the canal zone, and the regulations of the sale of coal.
 The date for opening the Panama canal has been set for January II, 1915, but President Taft and Colonel Goethals believe it will be completed and be open long before that time.

FAMOUS CURI0 FIRM
 SEIZED FOR FRAUD EVASION OF CUSTOMS DUTIES CHARGED BY FEDERAL
 OFFICIALS
Establishment in Their Custody and Proprietors Held on Heavy
 Bonds

New York, Oct. 13.-The entire Fifth Avenue establishment of the four Duveen brothers and an uncle, Henry J. Duveen, known the world over as dealers in rare art objects and antiquities, was seized by the federal officers today. Henry J. and Benjamin J. Duveen. two of the firm, were placed under arrest, charged with conspiracy to defraud the government out of customs du- ties.
 Henry A. Wise, United States dis trict attorney in asking for the ex- traordinary heavy bail, $100,OOO in the case of Benjamin. said he had evidence that the fraud would reach more than s1,OO0.O00 and that all five of the brothers are implicated as well as another man.
 The bail was finally fixed at s5O,- 900. which was given. Henry J. Duveen was arrested on the liner Lusitania when the vessel reached quarantine late tonight. He was taken off on 8 revenue cutter and hurried to the federal building for arraignment. Search for under val ued articles was begun and more than a van load of suspicious" goods was found. It was then de- cided to place the entire establish ment under surveillance, and leave the customs inspectors in charge for the night.
 When Benjamin Duveen was taken before United States Commissioner Shields District Affornev Wise said the case was the most important the government has had thus far to deal with in connection with importation frauds. He said that information was recently placed in his posses sion tending to show that the Du- veens have for years been defraud- ing the government. The records of the customs house hurr1edly over
