Al Mccoy, who leaped to fame in
the middleweight division by stop
ping George Chip, and on the
strength of the performance claimed
the title left open by the death of
Stanley Ketchel, is not shaping up as
a real titIeholdeF. It looks very much
as though Mccoy must have bested
Chip on a fluke.
Billy Murray, the California mar
vel, took Mccoy over the jumps a
couple of nights ago and damaged
him severely before the final gong. In
every department of the game Muir
ray was the superior. He failed to
land knockout in the short Eastern
bout, but Mccoy was in such distress
that it seemed certain he could not
have gone the twenty-round distance.
Murray not only has a punch, but
is wiser than the present crop of mid
dies when it comes to footwork and
defense. He boxes as well as he
punches. AS he intends to stay in the
East for a time he will be matched
with Chip and also take Mccoy on for
return engagement. Something
definite should be decided by these
fights.

ROBERTS AGAIN A CANDIDATE

Congressman Ed Roberts has writ
ten a friend in Reno that he is again
a candidate for denomination and re-
election to the house of representa-
tives from this state. Mr.. Roberts
has held the office for two terms, and
it is doubtful if Nevada ever sent a
man to Washington who has worked
harder to serve his constituents
Ever alert and willing to oblige,
Mr.. Roberts has not confined his ae-
t~ivities to regular channels, but has
actually looked after business at the
capital entirely outside OF his official
capacity.
There should be no doubt whatever
of Mr.. Roberts reelection. OF fine
presence and with an affable manner,
Mr.. Roberts can go out and get more
votes in a gwen time perhaps than
any man in Nevada. When it comes
down to campaigning, he has got all
the politicians of the state "'baeked
off the board

Any sort of get together meeting is

make the start.

Sometime last year the citizens OF
Newberry voted an amendment to
the charter changing the terms OF the
MAYOR and aldermen to two years.
To make this effective as we under
stand it the legislature had to pass
an act amending the charter. Will
our senator and representatives kind
ly inform US if they carried out the
wishes Of their constituents in this
matter or will an election have to be
held this year again. The acts nave
not yet been printed and We do not re-
call seeing any such act reported in

wanted to speak just a word or
two about the address Of DR.. P. P.
CIaxton, the I. S. commissioner of
education. He is a fine speaker and
knows something of rural school con-
ditions and the needs OF the common
schools, and his speech should have
been heard by every teacher in the
State. He spoke of the need for bet
ter teachers and in order to get them
there should be better pay. The con-
stant changing of teachers was also
pointed out as an evil, and he argued
that the teacher in the graded school
should be promoted with the children,
and that in order to teach properly it
was necessary to know the child, and
to know something of the child's lie
outside of the school room, and this
was impossible when teachers were
constantly changing, and in the grad
ed schools where the teacher did not
change the children were changed and
promoted to another teacher.

him to leave Winthrop, and I think

In regard to rural schools he said
that he had sent Prof. Tate to Switz-
erland to study the system of that
country. where it was acknowledged
was one of the best systems of any
country, and after he came back Prof.
Tate said it was very simple. They
do not change teachers, the teacher is
given home along with the school,
aud he beomes a citizen of the COM
munity, and a part of the community
life, and leader in all things that are
for the uplift of the community; he
comes to know the children and their
history, and their out of school life,
and can then really teach as teaching
should be done. He thought that was
the solution in this country. The
school lot should have along with the
school house home for the teacher,
and some twenty to forty acres of land,
and the teacher elected for a long
period of years and let the school
land contribute to his support. When
that was done we would begin to build
up the rural districts.

STATE TEACHERS, ASSOCIATION.

STATE TEA(HERS ASSUOlAIlONs
l had the pleasure Of spending Fri
day with tle teachers in thei" annual
meeting at Spartanburg. 1t was
fine meeting. The attendance was
good. The programme was interest
ing and instructive 1t has always
seemed 70 me, however, that it is a
mistake to have so many organiza-
tions in session al the same time With
the association. It would be better,
for instance, to have the meeting of
the county superintendents at a seDar-
ate time when that was the only
thing. These officers should be at the
teachers meeting anyway. But this is
aside and has nothing to do with the
comments that I started to make.
There We're very few teachers from
Newberry present. Apart from the
city schools the only teacher 1 re-
member to have seen present was Prof.
Wall of the Whitmire school. And
there were only TWO or three of the
city teachers present. Every live and
up to date teacher who can possibly
do so should attend these annual gath
erings. They are helpful just for the
recreation and contact of one person
with another engaged in the same
line of work, if you get nothing more
out of them.

TEACHERS ELECTED
 FOR SELMA SCHOOLS
Corps of Instructors for Next Year Will Remain Practically Same as
 for This Session

Selma, April 27.-CSpecial)-At a re- cent meeting of the board of trustees of Dallas academy and the city school board teachers for the city schools for the year of 1914-1915 were elected. The corps of teachers for the next year will remain practically the same as 1t has been during the past year. P. H. Buhr- man, teacher of history and science in the high school, Miss Thomasine V. Cobb, supervisor of music and Miss Louise Moore, teacher of the sixth grade of the Baker school, each rendered their resig- nations which were accepted.
 The meeting decided to add two teach CTS to the faculty of the high school in order to give better instructions to the large number of pupils enrolled in this school since the new building was re- gently completed. Prof. Arthur F. liar man was again elected as superintendent of the schools. In the Selma schools this year there have been enrolled HOO white pupils and GOO negro pupils, an increase of 150 pupils over the enrolment of the past year.

Suit to be Instituted in Cir cult Court Against Rev

Eufaula. April 27.-tSpecial)-The spring term of the circuit court of Bar bour county at Eufaula this week will probably be featured by the proceeding of the city of Eufaula against the board of revenue for the recovery of about sl5, 000 alleged to be due the city on the road tax account. The county commissioners have strenuously maintained that this sum or any other sum Is not due the city on this account, although negotia- tions have been going on for sometime. They have also refused the claims of the other incorporated towns in the county-Clayton, Louisville and Clio, whose claims with those of Eufaula would be considerably over s20,ooo
 No matter what the decision in the cir cult court. is is probable that the mat ter will be carried to the higher courts at Montgomery as both sides to the con troVersy are equally tenacious of their respective positions. c.

The Mills Estate

Official announcement has been made within a day or two of the present money value of the estate of the late D. O. Mills. Again using round numbers for convenience sake the figures are $35, ,000,- 600. At the time of Mir Mills death the estimate commonly made of the value of the estate was that it would be found considerably in excess of S40.0000O0 and no one would have been astonshed if the official report showed that it was as much as $50, 0O0 O00 Probably the Mills estate would have been found to be in excess of $40 100000 had 1t not been dis covered that he had accumulated in his life a large amount of securities which were practically worthless. This how ever. is a disclosure not confined to the Mills estate. After the examina- tion of the property left by F. H. Harri- man the announcement was made that among his other possessions were blocks some of them of large amounts face value, of absolutely worthless securities In fact, the common understanding here is that men of great wealth do accumu- late securities frequently in large amounts at their face value which are absolutely worthless.
 This tends to show that even the wisest and most cautious men are sometimes and, it may be often, mistaken in their judgment of the value of securities which pass Into tnelf possession. One of the explanations given for the discovery that men of great wealth die possessed of securities of little or no value is that it frequently happens that these securities are taken to protect personal loans. The calls of friendship for loans from rich men many and sometimes very ur- gent. They do not find it convenient to deny all of these appeals. The late J. F Morgan is known to have made many loans of this character. sometimes with out accepting any security for them. Those who are familiar with MT. Mills career and also with the career of Mr. Hartman are persuaded that many of the worthless securities with which their estates were incumbered represented friendly transactions.
 The official details which tell of the estates of some men of wealth frequently disclose the relation which these men bore in their lifetime to investment Af- ter the death of Commodore Vanderbilt, and 10 years later, after the death of his
