This program is rich and we ex-
pect to get great encouragement
and professional strength from it.
You teachers, who have been so
faithful, be present again, and
you who have not manifested so
much interest as some others,
pluck up interest enough to come
along this time and revitalize
yourselves for the winters work.
To hear the State Superintendent
or Mrs. Kelley either will be
worth your trip aside from every
thing else good on the program.
Come and get your Reading
Course Books. The County Sup

and is very DESTROYS Of getting
them into the hands of bis teach
ers. Recently adopted laws make
it very necessary for teachers to
attend their meetings regularly
and from a professional stand
point, they cannot afford to miss.
Come and we will have pleasant,
prosperous time together.

presiding. General 7. @. Rye
Is looking after the interest Of
the state and Sheriff S. G. Alden
with an able corps of deputies is
giving the court proper attention.
The attendance the first and sec
Ond days was very light.
Judge HARDWOOD charged the
grand jury at length. He charg-
ed the new law enforcement laws,
going into detail, pointing out
clearly the duties OF the jurors
with reference to these laws as
well as TO all others.
The civil docket was taken up
Monday, but owing to the absence
of Geo. I. Mccall who was at
tending federal court at jackson,
most of the cases we're passed over
until next Monday, or continued
until the next term of this court
There was practically no court
Tuesday, the regular jury being
dismissed for that day.
AttoFney-General I. Q. Rye
was in Nashville Tuesday where
his son was undergoing an oper-i
alton for appendicitis. j. T.
PeeleT assisted the grand jury in
its work during Mr.. Rye's absence.
The jurors for this term ofNcourt
are as follows:
Grand Jury--N. j. Enochs, X.

son, w. H. Blair.
Court moved off slowly We'd
nesday. General Rye did not re-
turn from Nashville until eleven
o'clock and consequently but little
was doing prior to his arrival.
The court was not in session part
of the time. By eleven O'Clock
the court room was well filled, the
largest crowd SO far during the
term being present.
The Boyle case was taken up
Wednesday, being the first state
case tried. At this writing it is
still being heard.
A number Of ladies are attend
ing the court. brought here as
witnesses. The Democrat wishes
again to call the County Courts
attention to the fact that there
should be one room at least put
in good condition, neatly furnish
ed, and kept especially for women
litigants and witnesses, SO that
they will not have to sit around
in the Offices of the court house or
remain in the circuit court room,
but will have a comfortable place
to spend their time while forced
to attend court. 1t is a shame
that the county has not attended

difficult to prove that he is less intelligent than

The carly nuturalists asserted that intelligence

would have made the largest mammals the most
intelligent. The whale has brain weighing
10 pounds. the elephant OF 12 pounds, while
tho brain OF man weighs only $40 pounds
The fact is hat nerve centres are In proportion

centres OF the hodr have corresponding points

Then new theory advanced that tho

MINEOLA, L. l., May 25.-George
Hamilton, an aviator, who, with Ray
Harris. has a school of instruction at
the Hampstead Plains aviation field,
was hurt today while taking a flight
above the field in an aeroplane Of his
own construction. The engine went
dead while he was fifty feet in the air.
and he fell to the ground. He was
taken to the Nassau hospital at
Mineola, where it was said his injuries
are not serious. The aeropiane was
smashed.
Some time ago Chief OF Police
Frank Krug received a letter from
George r. Smith, of Hanford, Cal Mr.
Smith wrote that his stepson has dis
appeared from home, and that he had
never written. He said his sons right
name was G. F. Trough, but that he
had heard in some way that Trough
was using the name of Hamilton, and
had become an aviator.
Chief Krug staw Hamilton who ad :
mitted that Trough was his right
name. He said he had changed his
name because he feared that some day
he would have an accident, and that
he didn't want to have the news tele-
graphed to his home. He said his
mother Is very old, and frequently i'll,
and that the shock of such news might
kill her.
The accident of today is the first
that Trough. or Hamilton, has had. At
the hospital 1t was said he would be all
right In few days, and that his in
juries are only cuts, which will soon
heal
