TOMS concession.
At intervals during the day those
enigmaucal words Of Mr.. Fanshaw's
REQUIRED to the girl with the reflection
that they wanted serious thinking
over. at the FIRST convenient oppor-
tunity. But the day wore away and
the opportunity did not appear.
The captain-of the yacht-his name
VA Warner-was on shore in com
mand Of the searching party. but the
arst omcer. Mr.. Scales. remained on
board. He was In possession of all
the data, though they had not told him
the story Of Philip Cayley's old relar
ton with the murdered man.
1T stands to reason" he said, that
the only party Of white men that could
be here would be the survivors Of the
Fielding expedition. We know from
the news that young Mr.. Fanshaw
brought aboard hat there is one such
survivor here. II there were any
considerable number of them left,
a~ble-bodied enough to walk across the
glacier, we could be sure they'd be
here on the shore waiting for us. We
could be certain they would have
made some attempt to signal US as
soon as they sighted US.
IF they weren't white men but In
Observation-Disclosures have been
quite as glad as white men to get a
chance to go back with us as far as
st- Michaels. And in the third place.
II they were not Chucotes, but some
strange, unknown. murderous band Of
a~borigines. there wouldn't have been
even N survivor of the Fielding ex-
pedition.
"Of course that's not an absolute
water-tight line Of reasoning. but 1t
seems to me there ia a tremendous
probability that it's right, and that
this flying nan has lost his wits"
By four o'clock they had decided
that. whether or not the sky-man's
story might be true, it was high time
to send a relief party ashore to ind
the lost ones.
At i've O'Clock accordingly, the re-
lief expedition went ashore. and Tom
Fanshaw n the girl were left alone
on the yacht.
Two hours later. perhaps. after they
had eaten the supper which Jeanne
had concocted in the galley, they sat,
side by side, in their comfortable deck
chairs. gazing out across the ice-fioe.
The evening was unusually mild, the
thermometer showing only a degree or
two below freezing. and here In the
lee Of the deckhouse they hardly
needed their furs.
They had sat there in silence q long
while. Toms promise that they would
keep a brisk lookout against a pos
sible attack on the yacht, had passed
utterly from both their minds. 1t
was SO still-so dead still; the world
about them was so utterly empty as
to make n thought Of such an at
tack preposterous.
Finally the girl seemed to rouse her
self from the train of thought that
had preoccupied her mind. straighten-
ed UP a little and turned for a look
into her companions face. But this

far horizon.

hand and explored for his beneath the
great white bear skin that covered
him. found it and interlocked her I'm

withdrew his own from the contact.

Teachers Will Be Paid According to
Number of Pupils. Committee
Appointed to Draft Rules.
At meeting of the county board
of education Friday a number of
matters of general interest came up
for consideration.
The most important question, per-
haps, was the location of five high
schools in the county in which the
higher studies will be taught. The
schools that were decided upon are
those located at Parrott, Bronwood,
Sasser, Graves and Yeomans.
The amount of money that will
be allowed the schools of the county
for the payment of teachers was fixed
as follows: Schools having a regu-
lar average monthly attendance of
Is and not over 20 pupils shall have
one teacher at salary of $40;
schools with an attendance of be-
tween 20 and 40 one teacher at $50;
schools with an average attendance
of 40 shall have two teachers and
receive 500 month; schools aver
aging 60 pupils shall have three
teachers and receive $175 a month;
schools with 80 or more pupils shall
have four teachers and receive 1925
month. The curriculum of one
teacher schools will be limited to
seven grades, and of two-teacher
schools to eight grades. Schools
having three or more teachers will
be recognized as high schools and
permitted to teach ten grades.
The board believes that the tax
collector should settle with the
school officials at least twice
month after beginning the collection
of the local school tax in the fall,
and adopted resolution requesting
the grand jury to recommend that
the law be so amended
A motion was adopted that anyone
living three miles or more from a
school shall be paid ten cents a day
for each of his children that he
transports to school,
Mr.. F. E. Land, superintendent of
the Dawson schools, Mr.. E. A. Nor
ton, principal of the Sasser school,
Mr. M. W. Smith, principal of the
BronwOod school, Miss Ida Greene,
principal of the Graves school, and
Mrs. w. H. Gurr were appointed and
requested to serve as a committee
to formulate rules and regulations
for the government of the schools of
the county.
Messrs. Jones and Bass were ap-
pointed committee to determine
the propriety of moving the site of
the school in the New Bethel COM
munity.

COTTON SELLS FOR is CENTS.
O. Il. Lowe & Co. Buy 800 Bales and
Clean Up the Stock in Dawson.

The biggest cotton sale in Daw-
son in several months occurred last
Wednesday, when Messrs. o. E.
Lowe & Co.. the we'll known and
popular cotton brokers of Dawson,
bought 800 bales that belonged to
different parties. The price paid was
Is cents a pound, and aggregated
about $22, 500, which has been turn
ed into the channels of trade.
This deal practically cleaned up
the stock in Dawson, there not being
more than 10 or 20 bales now left
in the warehouses of the city.

Third TRIAL FOR SELL BOYD

His Conviction of Murder in Sec
Ond Degree Being Affirmed.

Ond Degree Being Affirmed.
The supreme court on Friday
handed down decisions on the APP
peals for new trials of two Terrell
county negroes who were convicted
of murder and sentenced to life
terms in the penitentiary.
Sell Boyd, who was convicted of
killing his wife near Chickasaw-
hatchee in 1909, is given another
chance for life and liberty, the YER
dict of the lower court being revers-
ed because Judge Worrill failed to
charge the jury on the subject of
involuntary manslaughter.
Boyd claimed that the killing of
his wife was done in struggle over
a gun, he having no thought or in
tention of doing her harm The
next trial will be the third one for
the negro, the first resulting in
a mistrial and the second in a con-
viction for murder and a sentence to
the penitentiary for life.
Sol Lewis did not fare so we'll at
the hands of the high court, for his
conviction of murder in the second
degree was affirmed
Lewis, Will Bruner and Jim Wiki
inson were jointly indicted for the
murder of Silas Sutton. Bruner was
convicted as principal and sentenced
for murder in the first degree. Lew
is was convicted of murder in the
second degree for aiding and abet-
ting in the commission of the crime.
Lewis sought a new trial, claim
ing that the linking of his case with
that of Bruner was prejudieial to
him. The supreme court found no
substance in the claim, however.
Boyd was tried at the May term
Of the superior court a year ago, and
his motion for a new trial was ar

TAFT SENDS NEW
 YEAR GREETINGS

Washington, January 1.-(Special.)- President Taft received a marvelously quick response to his New Years greet ing which was sent out last night to the soldiers, sailors and marines wherever the United States flag is afloat. This morn ing the following was received from Ad- miral Schroeder, in command of the At. lantic battleship fleet:
 "The Atlantic fleet thanks the Presi- dent for his New Years greetings and wishes him and you Happy New Year.
 The reply was addressed to the Secre- tary of the Navy for the President.
 The Presidents message was cabled tc the American ambassador at Paris and the naval attache there sent 1t by wire less to the Atlantic fleet.
 Messages were received tonight from Manila, Porto Rico, Alaska, Panama, Ha- waii and all of the outlying possessions.
 The cables which were sent out by the President were signed by the Secretaries of War and Navy.
 The form of the greetings was as fol lows:
 "The President sends New Years greet ings and cordial appreciation of service to the officers and men of our country. Transmit the above promptly to all your command for publication prior to noon, January 1, 1911."

 ent time to indicate that the cotton boil weevil will not eventually reach the northern most and eastern most por- tions of the cotton belt of the United States. The advance to the east owing to climatic conditions is more rapid that to the north, but there is every indica- ton now that the weevil will overcome any climatic barriers that may be en- countered.
 w. D. Hunter of the department of ag- riculture has reached the above conclu- sion in exhaustive studies he has made of cotton conditions in the southern states. He declares, however, that an important advance has been made in the control of the weevil by means of poison. The credit for this achievement is given to Wilmon Newell of the crop pest commission of Louisiana. Through him, Dr. Hunter reports, powdered ar senate of lead has been used to eat advantage. The substance is exceedingly fine powder that can be forced into the buds to & far greater extent than a com paratively coarse powder such as paris green, which has been employed with some success. The arsenate of lead Is not claimed to be an absolute specific but 1t is positive advancement.
 Dr. Hunter declared that of the total cotton acreage the weevil is found in about 80 per cent in Texas, 30 per cent in Arkansas, 9 per cent in Mississippi. 8 per cent in Oklahoma and practically 100 per cent in Louisiana.
 This area comprises very nearly 90 per
