NEW PROHIBITION BILL

Senator Jeff Davis recently in- troduced bill in the United States Senate that ought to please the Prohibitionists, and which may cause something of stir if it ever gets out of the hands of the inan- ce committe, to which it was re- ferred.
 It is bill providing that the federal internal revenue license to sell intoxicants shall not be issued for use in prohibition districts.
 Under existing conditions the federal government will issue a li- cense to man to sell liquor, so far as the United States tax Is concerned, in territory in which it's sale may be forbidden under the State law, and this to some ex- tent is an anomalous state of af- fairs.

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
J, (. McGilI Issues Statement Re-
 garding Sheriff's Race

As you are aware, l was a can- didate before the last Democratic primary for the office of sheriff of Independence county. 1 was de- feated by small plurality by one of our citizens. worthy in every respect of the confidence reposed in him by the people of the coun- ty. On account of his untimely death it becomes necessary for the Democratic voters of the county to choose another candidate. In view of the creditable vote receiv- ed by me in the last primary, I feel warranted in again submitting my name as an aspirant for this honor in the primary to be held June f, 1910.
 1 feel that the considerable ex- perience 1 have had as deputy will enable me to discharge the duties of this office to the satisfaction of the people.
 If nominated and elected, I promise to faithfully and impar- tially discharge my full duty to the best of my ability. 1 will greatly appreciate any support you may see proper to give me.
 Your friend,
 J. c. McGILL.

AUTHORITY OF TEACHERS
Interesting Question Passed Upon
 by the Attorney General

In response to request for an opinion, Attorney General Nor wood recently held that the teach CTS or board of directors have no right to suspend or expell from school a pupil who may attend parties or dances at night, even though the school may have a rule to that effect.
 The attorney general says the teachers may demand that the pu- pil reach certain proficiency in his studies and may prescribe rules for the conduct of the pupil while he IS at school, but there the teach CTS authority ends. He says fur thor: While the child is in the teachers charge, a parent has no right to invade the schoolroom and interfere with the teacher in the control and management of the child, but on the other hand, when the pupil is sent to his home, neith- CT the teacher nor the director has any right to follow him thither and govern his conduct while he is under the parental control" "

 In awarding the diplomas, the principal made a very appropriate address. His remarks were well chosen and to the point, and the sentiments and thoughts expressed by him should be cherished and ob- served, not only by those who compose the graduating class, but by all who heard them.

A Mighty Massachusetts Hunter.

record locally as a hunter of musk
rats, says the Springfield Republican.
Every year during the January thaws
he in company with a man spends
the warm days shooting rats, and
they have captured a great many.
This month during the two days that
the water overflowed the meadows
they went out In boat and killed be-
tween $50 and 100 rats. These will
bring from so to rs cents a pelt &C.

to kill them without damaging the
skin to any extent. Sometimes when

Georgia constable's Dilemma.

stables, by direction levied on q negro
woman's aged horse and buggy which
had been driven into town. The horse
was blind and SO old that 1t could
scarcely walk. But to cap It all an.
other negro woman claimed two of
the wheels Of the buggy and negro
man the others. So you can imagine
the officers feeling standing there in
the street wondering how to get the
vehicle with only one wheel that could
be touched by even the strong arm of
the law, away, as the woman was re-
turning home afoot. But as luck
would have it. Bill Anderson came
along and proposed to sign an ap-
pearance bond for the property. The
woman was called back. the papers
were signed and Cap. Carroll was the
happiest man in town. for he had
never driven a blind horse hitched to
a buggy with but one wheel.-Dahlone-
