condition laid down by the trustees,
Is more than probable. In fact. it
vas reliably stated last night that
the conditions will be met in full
within 10 days. That the controll-
ing Presbyteries would adopt the
accommodation of the Board of
Trustees in very likely.
The Board of Chicora College
deem In due to all concerned to
make a succient but plain state
ment of their action in connection
with the probable transfer of the
institution from its present site to
the city of Laurens.
AT its meeting in July, 1911.
member of the board who found
1T impossible to be present in per
son at this meeting addressed to
1T communication in which he
raised the question whether the in
terests of the college did not de-
mand at the hands of the board
frank consideration of the adj
visibility of transferring the in
lstitution to some other place in the
Synod and suggesting Laurens as
suitable place.
STATEMENT BY BOARD.
The board referred this com
munication to its executive com
mite with instructions to consider
it's contents and in connection with
same to see whether they could not
secure for the college an eligible
site in or near the city of Green
vile.
When the board met this year,
at $3.50 p. m. July End, they were
informed that a number of gen
tlemen representing the various de-
nominations and the business in
terestS of Laurens we're in the city
and desirous of confering with them
touching the matter Of the removal
of the college from it's present site.
These gentlemen were granted an
audience by the board. Through
their spokesman, DR.. Aiken, they
stated that they had heard that
there was possibility that the board
might deem the removed of the col
lege advisable. They also stated
very explicitly through DR.. Aiken
and others that they had not come
to try to get the college away from
Grcenville or to make any bid for
1T as against any other community {;
but were before the board to say
that If that body should decide that
they were willing to consider the
removal of the college and would
state the conditions upon which it's
removal hinged they could assure
the board that the city of Laurens
was ready to make an earnest and
ethusiastic effort to meet those con
ditions. They made no PROPOSE
tiOn of any kind to the board, but
in private conversation with the
members of that body stated they
believed the city of Laurens would
provide the college with suitable
site and money enough to pay off
it's present indebtneSs.
"The board heard these gentle
men respectfully and promised
them as early an answer as the
nature of their business would ad-
NIT of. When the board event
again into executive session its ex-
ecutive committee reported that
there was not before them any
propositions for a site for the col
lege in or near the city of Green
vile. DR.. Byrd, the president,
however, said that he was request
ed by certain gentlemen of the city

Take The Schools Out Of
Politics.

st. Martinville, La, July "a, 1917.
To my Friends and to the Pa
irons of the Public Schools of this
Parish
The patrons of the Public
Schools are facing a situation
which promises to bring the school
psriods of session and vacation IN
reverse order, giving four months
of tho former and eight mouths OF
tho latter. The tax payers IN the
mean while will have the satlsfac-
ton of holding their tax receipts
and will be further inspired oy
tho anticipation of more receipts.
The teachers, some Of whom hold
interest bearing non cashable
checks in payment OF past SER
vices, are looking in other parishes
for ,sitions. In fact, all parties
interested in school matters are
watching developments with more
than usual interest, wondering
what is going to happen next. The
exact situation is known to but
few, hence there are varied and
conflicting rumors in circulation.
Being the leader of a democratic
faction elected on 4 promise to
carry out reforms wherever posi-
bic, 1 consider it duty to myself
and to my faction to expose the
facts, thus enabling every body to
get posted; aud, in order to pro-
vent further misrepresentation as
to my position l wish to outline
my attitude clearly before my
whole constituency.
Az regards the School Board 81
tuation, we all know that it is IN
politics aud should be Ousted
thsrsfrom. Separating schools
and politics has become popu
lar plank OH every platform aim
ing at reforms. All parties anc
all factions alike adopt this plank
proving it to bs good aud worthy
of execution. 1t needs no discus
sion here, we must admit the re
form to bs . good and necessar!
one.
My people have offered and here
BY publicly offer q compromls'
which would check the march o
our School system into the polltl
cal mire in which it must even
tually land unless compromise
Effected in the near future. The wa
to carry out this reform is th
problem which confronts US. Th
only reasonable way is to avoid
political fight. and that can b
doue by u compromise.

session of 1912.1913 must 60 down
as blank page in the school his
tory of our Parish. And further
moro, if teachers could be procur-
ed in January. the High Schools
would nevertheless be set back
one whole year. How can this
very unfortunate condition OF af-
fairs be avoided? By q compro-
mise: viz, School Board compos-
cd of such men as the Hon. Robt.

German, Arthur Ransonst, Eu.
phemon Broussard and Beaurs-
gard Dupuis should be agreed
upon by both factions. There are
other good men in the Parish who
could serve the people just as well,
We merely suggest these because
of their availability, their business
quality and because We think that
they would not quarrel and fuss
over petty politics and foolish
nothings. We have the assu-

could manage to finance tho old

work to proceed unmolssted. This
seems tho only logical solution.
That would be q real reform.

an error or oversight appropriated
a two mills tax to the schools,
whereas, it should have appropri-
ated a three mills tax according to
law. The Police Jury has since
given a certificate of indebtedness
to th, School Board for the
amount, but this certificate cannot
be turned into cash this Fall un-
less this compromise is effected.
Second: - The Corporation of
st. Martinville has not settled in
full with the School Board, which
fact is also responsible for the de-
ticiency in Schools funds.
As stated above the School
Board is placed in position where
it cannot possibly borrow money,
for tho reason that all of its re-
venues are pledged to the Banks
up to the First of January 1913.
The Banks do not want to honor
these certificates because they do
know whether or motor to what
extent-ths new School Board will
be willing to take up the indsb-
tednsss of the old Board. which
position is reasonable aud plausi-
bio. The condition, therefore,
dwindlss down to tho mere fact
that there is absolutely no money
and absolutely no available
method of procuring money until
new School Board is organizse
and ready for business, which will
not be until January, if a politi

from several readers against the

Hanish and his sun-worship cult:
>'It is the duty of newspaper

Infamous traffic in vice that had
its inception in most instances in
the intolerable working condi-

some of the so-called foremost

Her Health and Strength Back

Tampa, Fla.--Tn a letter from this
city, Mrs. Il. g. Corum writes: II was

manly troubles. My husband brought
me some Cardui as tonic, and, from
the first day, it seemed to help.
| had almost lost my reason, but,
thanks to Cardui, I did not. Soon,

think the remedy is wonderful. I

Cardui acts specifically on the weak
ened wOmanly organs. strengthening
the muscles and nerves, and building
them up to health.
1t helps to refresh the WORKOUT ner-
vous system and relieves the effects OF
oyerwork, both mental and physical.
Fifty years successful use fully
prove the merit of this purely vege.
table, tonic remedy for women.
In every community, there live some
who have been benefited by Cardui.
The beneficial effects of this time
tested woman's remedy, soon show
themselves in many different ways.
