BOY PUPILS GOATS
FOR GIRLS COOKERY
Plan May Be Car
ried Out BY School Board
on DamSeTS Suggestion.

ATLANTIC CITY CITY, y. J., Nov. Z
Should boy students be asked 70 risk
their fair, young digestiOns by eating
food cooked by go-eds, or should the
connections be tried on and judged by
tramps? Members Of the board Of edU-
cation here are ready TO reward the per
son who solves the problem.
Anxious 10 put Atlantic City's high
school on a par with the hest in the
country, the board decided recently 70
add domestic science.
Proud of their achievement, the board
members informed their wives OF the
great step they had taken for the well
fare Of the community's stomachs.
What is to be done with the good
things-that IS. If the girls ever cook
things?' inquired one wife.
why. what difference does that
maker was the reply from the hus-
band.
You just wait till the first months
bills are handed to the board was
the rejoiner.
Another meeting Of the board was
called. The members stood firm for the
plan. But when il was proposed 10 give
the food made bv the girls TO dogs and
cats, the girls rebelled. They refused
to take up the new study If the results
of their experiments were TO meet such
an end.
Il know lots Of boys who would eat
anything ] cooked said one damsel.
And the board may try it on the boys.

DIES WITH SECRET
Of BOOTHS GRAVE
Late Gen. Eckert Only Man
Left Who Knew Where
Assassin Was Buried.

NEW YORK, Nov. Z-One Of the
civil wars great secrets died with Gen
Thomas T. Eckert, former president Of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
and dominant head Of the United States
Military Telegraph Corps during the
civil war.
That secret was the burial of Wilkes
Booth, the assassin Of Abraham Lin
coin. General Eckert is said to have
been the only surviving man who knew
the facts in connection with the case.
No amount Of questioning could draw
the story from him.
General ECkert knew more Of the in
ner secrets OF that war than probably
any other man except the President
and his Secretary Of State, for through
his telegraph bureau passed the secrets
Of a nation.
BosSed Andrew Carnegie.
Under General Ecl1ert in those days
were such men as Andrew Carnegie,
Thomas A. Edison, Ex-Governor Cor
nell, George \. KEENAN,, W. r. Plum,
W. ]. Dealey, the latter now one o.
the chief officials or the Western
Union
The exploits of the telegraph corps
which General Eckert controlled were
of a sort to stir the blood even at this
late day. The integrity Of the corps
was proof against bribery and all
political or sectional influence.
The organization began with the bonn
bardment of Fort Sumter. but it did
not become a perfect arm of the Fed
eral service until General Eckert as
Sumed the responsibility of mastering
its degtiuipS when he took charge pf
the North Carolina and Virginia de-
partments. Later General Eckert di-
rected the departments Of West Vir-
ginia, Ohio, the Cumberland, Missouri,
Tennessee, the Gulf and the South.
Million War Messages.
General Mcclellan is On record as
saying that the Telegraph corps gave
him material aid in his campaigns,
and all the other army commanders
have given like testimony During 1S62
alone more than 100000 messages Of
vital Importance were flashed over the
wires 10 and from Washington and
other points. In 1868 2,OJJ,O00 messages
were transmitted. BY the end of the
war 5000 miles Of wire had been strung
and 100000 additional messages sent
and duly recorded. All through SheT-
mans campaign, notably in his march
10 the sea, the telegraph corps, under
the personal direction OF General Eek
ert, played an important part and re-
ceived the personal thanks Of that mo-
rose, taciturn old warrior, Sherman.

After a protracted drowth we had fine
rains last week which wIl be a great
help to finish up the sugar cane and peas
and bring the turnips up. 1t will also
be eff immense value to those who expect
10 sew grain this fall. We understand
a good many of our farmers contemplate
sewing wheat and October is the time
TO do so if they expect to make good
crop and the nice season that we have had
will greatly facilitate that
We have made good corn, peas, sugar
cane and potatoes, and fairly good crop
of cotton. The hog crop is better than
for many years and the outlook for some
thing to eat is better than for long
time. The hay crop is also good and the
exceptionally fine weather we have had
for sewing it has been in favor of the
of the farmer Sc taken altogether there
is no place for the croaker and the pes

Florence Epworth League Elects
Officers

After the regular devotional exercises
at the Methodist church last Sunday af-
ternoon, Mrs. Purcell, the president of
the Epworth League, called business
meeting for the purpose of electing the
officers for the ensuing year. AT the
suggestion of the nominating committee,
the following officers were elected: Pres
ident, Mrs. J. Luther Singletary; First
President, Miss Mamie Lou Loflin;
Second vIce-President, Miss Clara Mae
Price; Third vice President, Miss Hattie
Crowelr; Fourth vice-President, Mrs. Pur-
cell Era agent, Miss Laura Sistrunk;
Treasurer, Miss EuTa Ellis; Secretary,
Miss Mittie Hale; Organist, Miss Leslie
Hale.
During the past year, although the
Leaguers have had to overcome many
difficulties, the work in all of the de-
partments of our local league have been
dcne exceptionally well. The work of our
retiring president and of our incoming
president, who was first vice president,
last year both deserve special mention.
During the winter when the atten-
dance was short, these two faithful work
er. never became discouraged nor relaxed
their diligence in tn work.
With the deeply interested and
competent officers, recently elected, in
charge, there is no reason why we should
not make this year the best year yet in
tn history of our league.

Urban, Life.and Poverty. i.

One of the saddest comments on the
conditions of modern life is to be stound
in he news item from Kansas City, which
reports that young man committed azfet-
ony so as to be- sent to the peHlteHtfary
where he could learn trade; for years
he had done odd jobs, finding it harder
and harder to earn a living. Manutac-
turing. establishments did not want him.
as he had no experiencesand thefecheingno
State institutions other than thee peniten-
t;arv where trade could be eaTDed. graf
g he had to paw the price of admission,
which is the commission of felony.
In todays dispatches will bee found
the report of an educated indian col
lege eradicate. who, for seyerak weeks haa
looked in vain for work in Chicago, aud
finding himself and wife ore the point OF
starvation. he committed larceny. 1t IS
nrobable that he also will be given an
opportunity to learn a trade in penal con-
6nement, though it is not quite clear how
his wife will support herself while the
husband is learning trade.
Unskilled labor, whether skilled or un-
skilled. is finding it harder and harder
every day to find remunertive work IN
the large cities Of the country, and yet
This class of labor has focked to the cities
in such large numbers that the urban pop
ulation probably will be shown by the cen
sus TO be more than fifty per cent OF the
country's population, with the result that
the misery and squalor are on the IN
grease while wages for the unskilled labor
IS on the down grade. And all the
,uh;le this class of labor is clamoring tor
work IN the large cities, the farms art
calling for labor; tillible land in every
section of the country is waiting for the
hand of the worker. The glitter and the
Glamour of the cities attract hundreds OF
thousands who come perilously near the
starvation point while looking for work
From the most ancient times the tendency
of the population has been toward the
cities; ignorance of trade and the enor-
NOUS supply of unskilled labor produce
degree of poverty in the large centers
which is unknown in the rural districts
and the hardest problem is an even dis
tribution of the population as between the
city and the country,-Natchsz News.
