HARVEY HAPPENINGS.

Everyone is busy picking cotton
now, and the cotton crop will be
short. The dry weather still holds on
and rain now would be too late to
help the crops any, but 1t certainly
would make everybody feel better and
perhaps it would be cooler, for the
last week has been fierce.
The Baptist revival closed Sunday,
the pastors returning home.
Several of the young people attend
ed the singing at Wellborn Saturday.
In the afternoon there was another
game of ball between Wellborn and
Harvey, the score being ~ to 6 in
Harvey's favor.
Miss Essie McSwain of Wellborn is
spending the week with Miss Dolores
Thibodeaux.

Is 1t Worth While :?

A board of registration for Ellis
worth costs SIC per day for each day
it is in session, and under the regis
tration law the board sits six days-a
total expense of S96 per session. At
least two sessions must be held each
year; years of State election there
are four, and years of a presidential
election there are five. The expense,
therefore, of board of registration
must be not less than sl92 per year,
and in presidential years is $3.50. This
expense is borne by the city.
The duties of board of registration
are performed by the municipal
officers of cities and towns of less than
1900 population. Since Ellsworth fell
below that number, the municipal
officers have not found their duties
burdensome.
While, as a matter of pride, per-
haps, it hurts our ''feelin's" as a city
not to have registration board, may
we not be comforted by the fact that
we are saving from 1892 to $3.50 per
year Is the game worth the pow.

That Recordership

The hearing as Augusta on the
proposition to change the law which
makes the clerk of courts recorder oil
the Ellsworth municipal court ha:
been postponed until next Tuesday
Jan. IS.
OF course it is charged that the pro
posed change is desired in order to
make place for another republican
1t is also charged that the change is
proposed for the purpose of legislating
Mr.. Bunker, the present county clerk
and democrat, out of office.
But as the change would not in
crease the expense of the court, and
as there is no reason why one man
should hold the two offices, the
change, on general principles, strikes
us as desirable.
As to legislating the present incum-
bent out of Office because he is a
democrat, it will apply only during
the remainder of his term, and then it
will apply to republican as WELL
Moreover, Mr.. Bunker, if he is con-
sistent, is not likely strenuously to
protest merely because he will lose
$500, more or less, for he is, we under
stand, already on record as declaring
that the salary of the clerk of courts is
too large anyhow.

ceived from widely separated parts of the

Progressive Thinker, a spiritualist paper
printed in Chicago, purporting to be a
message from the late Louisa Urann, OF

Where Maine Stands.


The Russell-Sage Foundation has just
issued an unusual report on the school
systems of the United States. A complete
analysis has been made of every one of the
factors affecting public education, and
every state has been given rank of it's
own on each point examined.
Among all the states of the union, the
Foundation places Maine twenty-second
in rank. She stands second among the
states in the proportionate number OF
children in school, while she stands al
most at the lowest end of the schedule,
being forty fifth, on the point OF teachers
salaries. Vermont leads Maine in respect
to the proportionate number of children
in school, while South Carolina, Missis-
sfppi and North Carolina are the only
states ranking lower in teachers salaries.
In the number OF school days per child,
Maine climbs to the ninth place; to the
eleventh place in point OF high scnool
facilities, and to the seventh place in pro-
nortionate registration in secondary anc
collegiate institutions. Maine occupies
twenty first position among the states II
point Of school expenditure in proper
tion to wealth, and occupies the twenty
eighth position in the point Of school ex
penditure per child.
while Names rank on all other point
