COUNTY sUPERINTENDENT's
COLUMN

The enrolment in Wayne county
is very good, being up to the aver
age. Everything is fair for a pros
porous school year.
There is one new High school in
Wayne county this year. 1t is To-
Gated at Starrucca and Robert
Sampson is principal. There are
now . High schools in the county.
The secretaries of the different
school boards are requested to be
prompt in sending in the annual re-
port blanks. They should be proper
ly filled out on or before the first
Monday in October. If they are not
forwarded by that time the different
delinquent schools will forfeit a part
of their State appropriations. The
county superintendent has notified
some school board districts as many
as five times. 1t ought not be neces-
sary to give notice as many times as
this, surely If the reports are not
filed by the 7th of October the dis
tricts cannot lay the blame upon the
county superintendent.
All wishing to attend the Wayne
County Teachers Association at
Ariel, held October II and IL and
desire to have a nights lodging

ments.

ASKS COURT
TO EXAMINE WOMAN.

Complaining about the annoyance
of town gossip that has coupled his
name with that of a woman, George
o. Gillett of Wayne county, Monday
filed a petition in court at Scranton
for the appointment of a commission
to inquire into the alleged lunacy of
Mrs. Emma Washer, of Dunmore.
Gillett alleges that the woman is un-
der an hallucination that the petit
toner is lover of hers and that she
has constantly annoyed him with
letters and by phone calls. Court
appointed DR.. A. ]. Wagner, Attor-
ney w. n. Leach and Charles Block
berger, a commission to determine
the mental state of the Dunmore
woman. Lee P. Stark is attorney
for Gillett. Stark adds an affidavit
to the petition and states in it that
he believes and is informed that Gill
lett is not even acquainted with Mrs.
Washer. Stark also alleges in the af-
fidavit that the woman has an idea
that Gillett promised to marry her,
and that on account of the gossip
Of his enighbors it becomes neces-
sary for him to have the woman re-
strained.

MARRIAGE LICENSES.
COAL COMPANY VS.. ERIE r. r.

The White Mills Coal Company, by
it's attorney, Homer Greene, has filed
a complaint with the State Railroad
Commission of Pennsylvania against
the Erie Railroad company, alleging
a violation on the part of the rail-
road company of its agreement to
deliver coal at the pockets of the
complainant at White Mills.
The pockets and trestling were
built five or six years ago in accord
ance with plans and specifications
furnished by the railroad company.
Recently the railroad company has
increased the weight of its cars and
engines, and demanded that the
White Mills Coal Company should re-
build its trestling with heavier tim
bers at large expense so as to sus-
tain the greater weight. The coal
company having made its origin
al construction in accordance with
the railroad company's require
ments, declined to rebuild at its own
expense, whereupon the Erie COM
pany discontinued the delivery of
coal at the pockets.
The coal company requests the
commission to direct the railroad

AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE.
Is the Most Important of Those Com
ing Before the People of the
State.

OF the five proposed amendments
to the Constitution of Pennsylvania
which are now being advertised for
the information of voters, by far the
most important and far reaching is
the first one, which provides that the
Legislature may authorize the issue
of bonds by the state to the amount
of fifty million dollars for the pur-
pose of improving and rebuilding the
highways of the State. Under the
Constitution as it stands the State is
prohibited from borrowing money,
except to repel invasion, suppress TO-
surrection, defend the state in war,
pay existing debt or supply casual
deficiencies in revenue. The PROPOSE
ton to bond the state for road build
ing is in keeping with the modern
idea of financing public improve
ments so as to spread the burden of
payment over a number of years and
let the next generation help to pay
for the benefits it will enjoy from
these Improvements.
In commenting editorially on this
proposition the Pittsburg Press says
that the creation of such a system of
good roads as amendment number
one contemplates would not only add
throughout the commonwealth but
would make it inestimably easier to
get from one point to another in the
country districts and to transport
produce to market. 1t would unques-
tionably cheaper the cost of farm
produce in all city markets, and
would aid in the permanent reduction
of the cost of living by checking the
abandonment of farms and increas-
ing the number of people engaged in
agriculture. 1t means much to the
city wage Garner that country life
should be made more attractive and
the decline of agriculture arrested.
| The building of good roads would re-
vive farm life and give farm produc-
tion wonderful new stimulus. La
Dor will be disposed to favor the
above amendment, which will create
great demand for labor.
AS the good roads amendment is
to be voted on for the second time in
the legislature of 1913, whose mem
| bers are TO be elected in November
next, the Pennsylvania Motor Fed
| Grafton is urging all friends of good
| roads to urge upon candidates for the
! Senate and House, regardless of par
| ty affiliations, the great Importance
of this proposition to their constitu-
ents. 1t is pointed out that only two
months remain before election in
which to demonstrate to legislative
candidates how strong is the senti-
ment among all classes of people in
favor OF improved highways,
