rather unique announcement with the

Would you believe it?
No doubt the school teachers OF the
country more than any other class of
women will resent what Mrs. Ather-

teach the same branches in our high

conscientious, equally well educated,
work equally as hard, and receive low

women.

questing that business be suspended from
0 until II o'clock today as mark of
respect to this eminent citizen, all but a
few stores and shops were closed and the
funeral was attended by an extraordinary
concourse OF friends. The local lodge

manded by Captain Mullins, were all
present. Captain Johnston was formerly
commander of the local company.
Many relatives and friends from dis
lance were in Columbus for the funeral.
The floral designs We're exquisite and a
cross of lilies, which measured about six
feet in length, was placed at the head
of the grave.
Captain Johnston is a distinct loss to
Columbus. His wide experience from
travel had given him unusual powers to
judge human nature from its varied
standpoints and he was always regarded
as the one man to meet visitors and show
them around Columbus. He was re-
markably handsome and always present
ed an immaculate appearance. His dress
was stylish, his bearing dgnifed, and
his oourtly manner was always pre-
eminent. When President Taft visited
Columbus last fall Captain Johnston was
made chairman of the entertainment
committee. He rode with the President
and won the executives admiration, ac-
cording to a letter received here after
the visit

BIDS FOR SUPPLIES
WERE SUSPICIOUS

Washington, March "a suspicious
uniformity in the bids for supplying half
a million tons of New River and Poea-
hontas coal for the use of the Panama
railroad, together with the average high
price demanded, led the directorate of the
road, at a meeting held in this city to-
day, to reject all of the bids offered and
to advertise anew. The average price
demanded was in the neighborhood Of
s275 for the coal f. O. b. at Hampton
Roads The directors thought that from
$3.50 to $3.50 was an outside price for the
coal and as they already had a suf-
fleient supply to operate the railroad for
six weeks or two months, they decided
to order a Reimbursement In the
meantime 1t is possible that the depart-
ment of justice will be called upon 10
investigate the peculiar conditions sur
rounding the bidding.
