News which had been looked forward
too as one of the important situations.
was called and placed without hear
ing, the opponent of the incumbent
ing the field clear to Superintendent
Wills A. Jenkins.
Two Human Interest Features.
Two features of the hearing yester-
day that Interested the board and re-
leved the montony for the spectators
were the spectacle of a representative
citizen of Loundoun county beseech-
ing the board to appoint any OF the
candidates rather than the incumbent.
and the Alphonse-GaSto situation In
Mecklenburg county, where both the
incumbent and his opponent are very
young men
The display Of magnanlmity on the
part of Superintendent F. c. Bedinger,
of Mecklenburg. toward his opponent
not only amazed the board. but took
the wind out of the sails of F.. w.
Sydnor. the aspirant Each of the
candidates had three citizens of
Mecklenburg county in Richmond to
plead their respective causes. Mr.
Sydnor's advocates were called home
Tuesday night by pressure of bust
ness: Mr.. Bedinger's friends remained
and were lined up in the court room
ready to plead his cause. When
Meeklenburg was called, Mr.. Bed
niger explained the situation to the
ri fr1a he "a N
asmuch as Mr.. Sydnors friends had
gone he would not take any unfair ad-
vantage of his opponent and there
fore asked that the three friends. who
had voluntarily come to Richmond to
plead his cause, remain silent. Fur
thermore, he stated that 1t had been
reported that his opponent was a Re-
publican in politics, and he desired to
inform the board that this report is
a canard, with no semblance Of
truth.
All that was left for Mr.. Sydnor
to do was to rise and return his thanks
for the magnanimity shown him by
his opponent and this he did very
gracefully.
Loudoun People Sore.
In the Loudoun case Elijah V.
White. a prominent banker OF the
county, made an earnest plea for the
choice by the board of either II. L.
Keen or f. O. Russell to replace the
incumbent, w. G. Edmondson. and he
was backed in a strong speech by the
attorney of the
county. In the hearing the Loudoun
people exhibited. without mincing
words, the grudge they hold against
the State board of education for going
outside their bailiwick four years ago
to supply superintendent of schools
Friction and disorga niZation, they
claim. has been the result of the
boards action and the choice Of one
Of the other candidates they hold to
be necessary to restore normal condi-
tons. The incum bent they allege to
be erratic. to lack business ability: Is
out OF touch with the people and not
In harmony with the school trustees.
Superintendent Edmondson was not
present himself and had no repre-
sanitation.

new HEARING IN
SCHOOL CASE IN
COURTS DECREE
Important Ruling Of High Tri
bunal in Action of Cant VS..
Crossley.
DECISION is FAR REACHING
If Internationally of Act Is Proven
Wcmen's Suffrage Bill May
Also Be Killed.


Springfield, H., Oct. 25.-The SUI
preme court today granted rehearing
in the case OF the people. ex rel. a. b.
Cant vs.H. S. Crossley, appealed from
the circuit court of Rock Island coun-
ty. The court previously held the
township high school act of 1911 I'M
constitutional because it was really an
amendment TO school act of 1909 in
stead of being a separate law. 1t is
reported here that if on the rehearing
the court still holds the law unconsti-
tutional, the legality OF the woman s
suffrage act will be attacked on the
same grounds, inasmuch as the same
principle is involved
The above dispatch will be read
with a great deal of interest because
of the wide effect of the holding of
the supreme court on suits similar to
the East Moline action. 1t will be re-
membered that East Moline wanted a
high school and organized a district
under the school act, taking in much
of the rural community surrounding
the city. The rural population object
ed and began suit. Under the law. it
is possible TO organize a high school
district in any territory in which there
is an affirmative vote on the matter.
APPEALED FROM HERE.
Quo warranto proceedings were
brought by the DIRECTORS in circuit
court here. ]. T. & S. r. Kenworthy
and A B. Johnson represented the
trustees of the school district, and
Searle & Marshall those opposed.
Judge F.. D. Ramsay held the law un-
der which the school district had been
organized unconstitutional and the SUI
preme court sustained the local court
Now the high tribunal is reopeling the
matter for the purpose of again con
sidering the ccnstitutionality Of the
high school act.

comes coarse. moist mass and is
then left to ferment.
When poi is served each guest bathes.
and dries the right hand and then pro-
ceeds to dip the index finger of that
hand into the mass. There is quite a
knack In the operation, and 1t is always
necessary to instruct the novice that
there is absolutely no need to move his
arm. but simply the wrist. sS
One removes his finger at the same
time that his neighbor does. On the
finger, Of the skilfnl operator there will
be pear shaped ball Of poi, but the
clumsy ones fingers will simply be
thinly veneered with the substance.
Then, If the. strangers ask what was
the matter with his movement, he Will
be told that he held bis finger too
straight. He must crook 1t a little and
turn his hand not too fast, with a wrist
movement only.-Harper's Weekly. s.
