 Through your kindness want to i'm press upon the oolored teachers and all persons interested in the education of the colored people in the state of Ala bama the importance of large attend ance upon the Colored State Teachers association meeting to be held in Bir- mingham. April 8, and 10.
 Alabama is placed near the foot of all the states in matters of educational effi- ciency. and the Colored State Teachers association, through it's president, William Pickens, and It's executive committee. is making tremendous effort to have the largest and most helpful meeting in the history of the state.
 The leaders of this association are deter mined that the education of the colored eople can be made to reduce crime. make the people more useful and bring about higher degree of citizenship generally and maintain friendship and maintain peace and good will between the races. The officers are most anxious to have every county of the state largely represented at this meeting and are espe- cially anxious to have the teachers from the country districts present. Governor O'Neal the state superintendent of edu- cation and several other prominent white citizens have promised to address the as- sociation. Yours very truly.

Who Gave the Opinion
barre Timesl


Did the expert legal opinion" tell
Governor Fletcher he must appoint
Judges for term of two years fol-
lowing the interim appointments!
By the way, who gave this expert
legal advice?" Was it one Judge, or
was it by the entire bench? Was it
a written opinion, OF was it word Of
mouth estimate? Lastly, why did
Governor Fletcher see fit to remove
men against men whose official acts
not bit of suspicion had been
aroused? These are a few of the
questions uppermost in the minds of
the people of Vermont. and they
have never been answered by the
executive himself nor by his news
paper apologists. 1t isn't often that
the people of Vermont have been so
aroused over a matter as they are
at the present time.

TAKEN TO PASTEUR INSTITUTE
NineYear-old Daughter of ole Nelson
Fights Against Hydrophohia After
State laboratory Finds That Dog
Was Affected With Rabies.

The town of Bristol is in the throes
OF mad dog scare and on Friday the
nine year old daughter of Ole Nelson,
one of the best known farmers of the
town, was taken to the Pasteur Insti-
tute in Chicago for treatment to guard
against possible developmentSof hydro
phobia. The little girl was Sbitten by
a tramp dog which ran the length of
the town before it was killed. When
the dog was killed its head was sent
to Madison and an examination showed
that the dog was suffering from rabies.
The little Nelson girl and her broth
er, seven years of age, had, gone out
hunting for eggs. One of the nests
was under a bridge in the barn lot
and when the little girl went under
the bridge she found the dog there.
The dog attacked her. He bit her in
the face tearing hole in each of her
cheeks and lacerating her nose. The
cries of the little girl attracted the
attention of her brother who was
short distance away and he went to her
aid fighting the dog away from her.
The little fellow kicked the dog in the
face and the dog appeared to be so
frightened that he ran away without
biting the boy. Farmers took up the
chase after the dog and finally man
aged to kill him.
Before the dog was killedsit is claim
ed that he bit a number of other dogs
in the neighborhood. Some of these
dogs were killed and others have tbeen
tied up pending developments. It is
claimed that the dog was seenzon at
least a dozen farms in thettown before
the little Nelson child was7bitten and it
is feared 'thatsmany dogs&were attack
ed by it. Six dogs have been killed.
On the farm of Frank r. Shuart
member Of the county board, two dogs
were bitten by the mad dog.
The wounds of the little Nelson girl
were exceedingly painful and prompt
action was taken in cauterizing them
pending the examination of the brain
of the slaughtered dog. She had
shown no signs of developing hydro
phobia when she was taken to the in
stitute in Chicago. The physicians at
tending her are very hopeful that pre-
cautions taken will be sufficient to pre-
vent the development of the dread
disease. Careful search is being made
through the town and every dog that
shows any indics ion Of having been
bitten is being killed.

AID COUNTY IN COLLECTING
County Has For Several Years Sought
to Reduce Cost of Maintenance of
Insane Hospitals by Enforcing Pay
ments From Relatives of Patients.

County officials of Kenosha county
are hopeful that the long hight to re-
duce the cost OF maintaining the in
mates in the state institutions is to
receive some direct support from the
state board of control as on Thursday
evening County Judge George w. Tay-
To- received a formal announcem mt
from Ralph e. Smith, president of the
board, asking that the records Of Ke-
nosha county be searched to ascertain
how many inmates of the state insti-
buttons are interested in estates now
in course of settlement in the county
The county for years has sought to
reduce the expense of caring for these
unfortunates to the general public by
collecting portion Of the cost of their
care from relatives in the county.
County Clerk Jones has been most sue
cessful in this work and during the
year just closed his collections amount
ed to close to $4,000 The state board
could aid materially in securing the
payment of the bills sent out by the
county. 1t is just possible that the
state board is interested in collecting
from. estates the amount charged
against the state for the care Of these
inmates Of state institutions.
Kenosha county now has in the
various asylums for the insane and in
the homes for the feeble minded a
total of 10 patients. This list is now
in the hands of the register in probate
and he is searching the records of the
probate court with a view Of finding
out the financial condition of each one
of these people. Only two estates
have been found in tl3 county court
iii which any of the people on the list
are interested. For the most part the
insane pate from Kenosha co~1tty
are taken from the list of workingmen
and women and large majority of
then are eople who have no estate.
Ir some cases friends of the patients
have shown willingness to make pro-
vision for fees for their treatment, but
i'll most of these cases demand was made
on the county t pay the expenses.
Only in recent years has the collection
Of these fees been urged.
Each year the. number of supported
patients is increased and now some
payment is being made to the county
for more than twenty-five per cent of
the patients charged to the county.
Many strangers have been commit
ted from this county and in most of
these cases they are taken care of as
wards of the state and no turn for
their care is made annually to the
county.
