Schools, Teachers, Pupils and Patrons Devoted to the Beng of the School Interests in Polk County

The interest manifested in this de- pertinent is assuming tangible pro- portions and affords us pleasure and confidence in the belief that the sue cess of our undertaking is now as- sured; with this belief well grounded we are carefully digesting some new features pertaining to our first and original design for creating an interest and obtaining results in the improve ment of our rural and village schools. Meanwhile we are collecting and studying special features of the prob lems before us.
 On Saturday, last, we probably had a greater number of teacher callers than upon any other Saturday in the history of The Star. The encouraging and most noticeable feature of these visits was the earnest and sincere de- sire for anything helpful in the matter of school work. The uppermost topic seemed to be longing for something definite in the shape of course of study, in the matter of school libra ries, collateral reading and better houses, blackboards, etc.
 Let us have your ideas upon any one or all of the above subjects; here is an opportunity to digest helpful schemes for meeting these wants. Why not have a symposium upon the subject of securing good reading for our pupils in the shape of class sup plies, local, or circulating libraries. etc. If each teacher who has done something of this nature at any time in the past will tell us how he secured results. we will appreciate it.
 Mrs. Ola Tunnell, who is teaching in the Bunch district, No 72, says when school began, five weeks ago, they had IA feet of blackboard, no die tionary nor globe, but now they have 36 feet of blackboard, dictionary costing $11 and a nice globe. There is a regular attendance of fl.
 The directors are Messrs. Kimp, Hill and Bates, the two first named having visited the school several times.
 Obediah Bunch, Billie Policeman, Jesse Cook, Mrs. Eddleman, Mrs. Bunch, Mrs. Smith and Miss Samples are other visitors.
 Mrs. Tunnell says they have no li, brary. and not very good house. It is decorated with notices and crepe paper. Clippings from newspapers and books are not used.
 Mrs. Tunnell is in favor of county course of study.

ed the school. He reports plenty of blackboard space but no library. lie |is in favor of a course of study for the county. Is having a regular attend ance but is making no special effort to secure it.
The Mena weekly star., 1910-08-11

Miss Ora Gibson, Highland,i is among the first to make report in accord ance with our suggestions. Her di- rectors. J. M. Eeger and J. N. Simp- son have visited the school twice, and the third, M. A. Lenard, once. These directors certainly take an interest Tn their school; their example is to be commended. Mesdames. H over, Simpson and Irwin, Miss Howard, Messrs. Howard, Roby, Egeers, Mar tin, Hoover, Irwin and Simpson have visited the school also. Six new desks have been added but the blackboards and decorations are poor.
The Mena weekly star., 1910-08-11

The teachers meeting at Eeeer Sat urday is indicative of an interest in the school work beyond the mere rou- tine of teaching and the drawing of pay. Messrs. White, Bates, Ryals and Maxwell, the committee, are to be congratulated on their enterprise.

COURSING RESUMED
WITHOUT BETTING
Frank O'Shea and James Hurley
Revive Old Celtic Sport

The coursing game which had been
suppressed since the passage of the
Otis Walker bin nearly two years ago
was revived yesterday at Ingleside
coursing park by the well known
Ieashmen Frank O'Shea and James

high class plane. the betting feature
being entirely eliminated. A 20
dog stake was run in which the crack
black entry Turkeys Best won first
money from his kennel mate. George

The familiar voices of the pool sell
lers which were heard in the past,
shouting for the favorite or the short
end money were missing. The pool
baXes are no longer in use and what
betting goes in is between individuals,
which is in accordance with the law.
The racing yesterday was good. Not
withstanding the fact that the hounds
had been out of training for many
months. they ran fairly we'll to form.
Turkeys Best proved the class of the
field and the former stake winner
showed plenty of his old time form.
Georgetown also ran well.
L. Monreal. the Vallejo leashman, had
several entries. but they met with poor
racing luck. Royal Gold won couple
Of courses. Black Bird from
Church's kennel showed up in good
form and reached the semffnal round,
but was withdrawn owing to severe
racing.
There will be a special stake run on
next Sunday in which many high class
dogs are already entered. Yesterdays s
results follow:
Open stake-True Wing beat Gentle Annie:
Lady Barge beat Union Label; May Sutton beat

CANNON Is OVERTHROWY.

After one of the most sensational
contests ever seen in Congress, Speak
er Joseph G. Cannon was shorn of his
autocratic power Saturday.
Representative Morris, a Republi-
can, had offered a resolution so chang
ing the rules that the members and
not the Speaker would name the com
mittee on rules. Heretofore Cannon
has named the committee and was
himself a member He was in that
way enabled to confer Czar-like pow
err on himself and he had used his
power to the limit.
The resolution to eliminate Cannon
from all connection with the Commit
tee on Rules was adopted by vote of
1871 to 1855, the Democrats voting sol
idly for it, being assisted by a number
of insurgent Republicans.
A resolution to declare the Speaker
ship vacant was defeated
Cannon has been the willing tool of
the special interests, and so far as Con
gress was concerned the power of the
trusts over supposedly free people
was crystalized in him. That he has
been dethroned let us all be thankful;
but the forces that were back of him
will come again unless the people
stand guard.

Dear Sheriff Mckinney:
In today's Marietta papers | notice
your announcement as a candidate to
succeed yourself as sheriff.
Why did Bro. Kincaid desert you?
You started out together to be partners
for two terms and he says over his
own signature in the papers that you
have given him square deal. If so,
he ought to stand by you. If you go
down in defeat, he ought to go down
with you.
1t is none of my business, ofcourse,
but as | read your announcement,
felt deep down in my heart THAT you
are not being treated exactly right and
| am like Judge Morris in that it does
HE good to show my colors for a friend.
AS newspaper man for several years
| have come in close contact with
many sheriffs, but l do honestly be-
lieve that you are the best sheriff that
| have ever known. | have in mind
now certain North Georgia. sheriff
that catches every negro that gets into
trouble, but he never finds a white
voter, if his friend. You are not that
kind, but do your duty as you see it.
Now, | hope you will go ahead and
win this race with big majority, and
l believe you will, for l have never
known one, who loved his mother as
you did, to go down in defeat in any of
his undertakings.
And am glad that you and your
good little wife are saving what you
make out of your office. 1t will come
in mighty nice in old age
Your friend,
