Two Firemen Lose Lives Bv
Dynamite

Charlotte, N c., July t. Fire
man w. B. Glenn was instantly
killed and ]. H. Wallace, chief OF
the Charlotte fire department,
was fatally injured by an explos-
ION OF dynamite while fighting a
fire on Cedar street this morning
at > o'clock. Responding to an
alarm the firemen found barn
burning briskly. 1t was while
they were fighting the flames
that dynamite stored in a house
nearby exploded.
Chief Wallace died at 1920
o'clock in a local hospital, where
he was rushed just after the
accident.
Three other members of the
department, Randolph Erwin,
Clyde Todd and Robert Barnes,
were also more or less painfully
hurt. The dynamite was being
used by a contractor who was
aolng some street grading for
the city. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but there is a strono
suspicion that it was of incendi-
arv origin.

But he wasn't altogether discour-

He waited the five years and

Good Roads Maxims.
Atlanta JournaD

Atlanta Journal
The United States Good Roads
association has issued set of
maxims in which the people of
Georgia and of the South should
be especially interested. Among
them are these bits of homely
wisdom:
If the roads around a town are
bad it might as we'll be on an is
land.
Ycv can have sny l.ynd of q
road you are willing to pay for
the poorer they are, the more
you pay.
Good roads means that you
can come to town with twice
the load in half the time you
used to.
Good roads are easy on you,
easy on your horses. easy on the
wagon, easy on the harness.
A farm ten miles from town
on hard road is nearer than a
farm five miles from town on a
soft road.
Good roads will increase health
wealth, happiness, education,
morality, civilization and pros
perity.
Good roads will decrease igno-
rance, poverty, discouregement,
back taxes, sheriff's sales and
grouChes.
All talk and no work will not
make good roads.
Go to road Improvement with
the full realization that it is for
your own personal benefit and
profit, not merely a public duty.

Were Failures Unless The,
Could Lick" PUPILS

when l was a boy" said the
old timer, lit was considered
necessary that boy get lick
ing at least once a month when
he was at home and not less
than once a week when he was
at school," says the Topeka
Capital.
Teachers were hired more on
account of the beef and muscle
they carried round than ON ac-
count of what they knew. The
teacher who built up a reputa-
ton fol- being able to lick any
boy up to the age of 21 had a
cinch on getting a job teaching
in the winter.
There were several young
fellows who attended school
every winter until they were 2l,
and it was the common thing to
give the teacher a whirl just to
see if he was man enough for
the job. If he came out second
best he had to give up the
school, but if he cleaned out the
bunch that generally settled it,
and he had no more trouble
after that.
Some of the young men were
as big as the average sized teach
er and sometimes bigger. Then
they were used to out door work
and were stout as young bulls.
The teacher was up against a
hard proposition but he had one
thing in his favor. If the big
boys double teamed on him, that
is, came on more than one at a
time, he had the right under the
code that governed such cases to
use a club.
NOne winter | went to a sort
of graded school. There were
three teachers, including the
superintendent. He didn't have
70 do much teaching. His prin-
clpal business was TO do the lick
ing, and l ne yer saw a man who
seemed to me to like his job bet
ter than he did his. He had the
finest assortment of seasoned
guas | ever saw and for especial
ly aggravated cases he had a
rawhide whip that was a holy
terror. He stood about six feet
two and weighed about 22O
pounds and he wasn't fat at that.
| think he could lift about half
a ton and when he made the
boy strip off his 'wammus' and
swung that whip he could make
the stoutest heart howl. The
other teachers were rather good
hearted and didn't care to see
the scholars beat UP, but if they
didn't send so many up for lick
ing each week he complained
that they were loafing on their
Jobs and didn't amount to any
thing as instructors.
Nearly every boy in the
school made a solemn VOW that
when he grew up he would lick
that principal within an inch of
his life, but l never heard of one
of them doing it. l heard of one
boy who did keep his pledge far
enough to undertake it, but he
regretted it afterward.
"He was about 16 when he got
the licking that burned into his
soul, also into his hide. The
principal had an extra crouch
on that day and the first gratify-
ing thing that happened to him
was the sending of Bob Williams
up for punishment. He made
Bob take off his 'wammus'-all
the boys wore 'wammuses'-and
then he took down the rawhide.
The marks of that licking lasted
on Bob's back for two weeks.

who was warmly greeted by the

II asked Mr.. Clinkscales to
answer in his speech today
where the money is coming
from to ruin the schools and pay
the teachers if Statewide con-
pulsory education is put into

A In Chesterfield county, Mr..
tanning said that third of the
boys were not in the schools
and quoted the county superin-

ority tor the statement that it
would take levy of 15mifis to
pay the salaries of the teachers
and the running expenses of the
schools, exclusive of erecting
new buildings, should all the
children be forced into the
