of the Uncle Toms Cabin troupe
and published last week, our friend
G. j. Puckett of Vermilion, sends
US the following interesting state
ment:
I notice your article in the Citi-

erence to Mrs. FL. B. Stowe. 1t
may be true that her Uncle Toms
Cabin is in some respects over
drawn, but in regard to Eliza cross
ing the Ohio river by stepping from
one cake of floating Ice to another
and carrying her baby boy in her
arms, it is literally true, and after
she got across she went to the
house Of Levi Coffin, an old Qua
ker of Cincinnati for protection
and aid. Levi Coffin was great
uncle of mine, and was the reput-
ed president of the underground
railroad. In his biography he says
he never stole negro away from
his master but hundreds have come
to him for help after they had run
away from slavery, and he never
refused to help them to liberty,
and there never was one recaptured
and returned to slavery after they
committed themselves to his care.
| can not say as to whether the
blood hounds were chasing Eliza
or not, or whether she ever met
George Harris or not, but she did
actually cross the Ohio river on
cakes Of floating ice and carried
her baby in her arms.

A Few Bunches of Words.

The other day a little girl was look
ing at a picture Of a number Of war
vessels when she suddenly looked up
at me and exclaimed: "See what a
flock of ships!" I corrected her by
saying that flock of ships was called
a fleet, and fleet Of sheep was called
a flock.
And here the American teacher
might take the subject up for the ben
eft of his little brown pupils who are
trying to master the intricacies of the
English language, and explain to them
that a flock of wolves is called pack,
and that pack of thieves is called a
gang, and gang of angels is called a
host, and host of porpoises is called
shoal, and shoal of carabou is
called a herd, and herd of quail is
called coyy, and a covy OF beauties
Is called galaxy. and a galaxy Of

County School Letter

| -
Teachers examination for first
grade, state certificate aud life
diploma will be held at the court
house June 9Th and 9th.
All but three of the rural schools
have closed.
Quite d number of the rural
schools are contemplating adding
a month or more to their terms
for the coming year.
1t is also encouraging to note
the large number that are hiring
or endeayoring to hire their teach
ers early.

years has been engaged in the
Mawhinnay district. Miss Alpha
Grangard who had charge of Vii
hauser school has been elected in
Cottonwood Grove district.
In regard to the eighth grade ex
animation the State Department
of Education has made the follow
ing direction: "In all cases where
county superintendent arranges
for giving this examination at
several places. it would be we'll to
arrange so that no teacher will ad-
minister the examination to his
own pupils. For this reason in
each case we have asked someone
who is entirely disinterested in the
applicants to take charge Of the
examination.
The annual teachers institute
will be held at Springfield August
21st to September lst. inclusive.
The faculty as determined upon at
present are Pres. G. G.. Wenzlaff,
Conductors, Dean E. g. Perisho,
Prof. E. M. Everhart, Mrs. L. s.
Cooper and Mrs. Hattie Moore
Mitchell of Des Moines, Iowa.
The reasons for changing the
place of meeting this year are that
for a number of years it has SO
happened that The larger number
of resident teachers have come
from the southern part of the
county. They have been loyal
in the attendance and it seems
only fair to give them an oppor-
tunity to attend at least one insti-
tute with less inconvenience. Then
too, the question of securing board
and rooms has often been diff
fcult one. This year the Normal
offers its dormitory and dining hall
service at rates that are extremely
reasonable. We believe too, that
since the institute is supported by
public funds, if there be any fnan-
cial value in its being held in any
certain place, the various localities
are entitled to have it in their
midst occasionally.

Dave Campbell and negro woman
got into a dispute at that place and
soon a crowd of more than twenty
were gathered there watching the
trouble and creating a disturbance in

The officers got wind of what was
taking place and swooped down on
them and gathered Campbell and car
ried him to the station and dispersed
the crowd. This morning Acting Re-
corder Erwin charged Dave with Sis
for his part in the play.
The officers say this corner is the
stopping place for a number who live
in Macedonia, and that they disturb
the residents of that section consid-
erably, as complaint has been regis
tered heretofore. They further say
they propose to see to 1t that this
habit is broken up and will keep
watch on this section in the future,

EXTENSION OF HELMS BRANCH
When Completed the City Will Have
Sewers Over the Larger Part of
the Territory-Road Roller Busy
on South Garden Street.

With the completion of the sewer
from the Helms Branch sewer to
the Union Station, which will be done
within short time, the main portion
Of the city of Columbia will be fairly
we'll severed. The work on the ex-
tension from Helms Branch to the
station on High street has been pro
crossing for several weeks and is
about finished. The sewer turns at
the station and runs up Garden
street.
This sewer will drain a large sec
ton of the city and will be a great
convenience to the people. Within
a short time the connections will be
made at the station and the sewer
age installed. The toilet rooms and
plumbing were done when the station
was built and all that is necessary
now is to make the connections.
During the past year Columbia has
installed a splendid sewerage system
and the sanitation of the city has
been immeasurably improved.
While all appreciate the value OF
the sewerage to the city the people
who go to the station often will re-
joice that the work is nearly done.
for several weeks the streets around
the station have been torn up and
the mud and other impediments have
been a source of much inconvenience
to the travelling public. But in lit
tie while the streets will be restored
to normal condition.
Street work is also progressing
rapidly. The road roller is now busy
on Garden street, perhaps the most
travelled thoroughfare in Columbia.
The street is being graded and Lew
coat of metal added, something that,
in the estimation of the public, has
been needed for a long time.
