Maryland High School Teachers
Association,

Freedrick county contributed one
sixth of the attendance at the annual
sessions of the Maryland High School
Teachers Association which were held
last week in Baltimore. From all the
counties of the state there were about
one hundred and twenty teachers that
attended the meeting. The associa-
ton adjourned Saturday.
An investigation of the schools of
Baltimore showed that the methods of
the county compared very favorably
with them. Like Baltimore City the
method of teaching English in some
schools of the various counties is
faulty. A committee was appointed by
the association to investigate the
methods of teaching English in the
high schools and to make plans for
perfecting the system at the next
meeting. The address pointing out the
weakness of English in high schools
was made by Professor w. H. Wilcox,
of the Maryland State Normal School.
S. F. Harris, head of the commerce
ial department of the Boys High
School, heads the newly organized
State Commercial Teachers Associa-
tion. This association was organized
on Saturday about noon. Although
there has been an organization of the
high school teachers and the agricul-
tural teachers, no organization of
commercial teachers of the state
could be effected until Saturday.
The various officers of the associa-
ton are: President, S. F. Harris,
Frederick; vice-president, Anna Car
man, Bel-Air; secretary and treasur-
er, R. J. Blocker, Westminster.
The following are the officers of
the State High School Teachers AS
sociation: Joseph Blair, president;
William T. Mahoney, Frederick, vice
president; N. Price Turner, Salisbury,
secretary and treasurer.
The following are the officers of the
Maryland Agricultural Teachers AS
sociation: President, w. R. c. Con-
nick, Prince Georges county; vice.
president, E. c. Betty, Highlandtown;
secretary and treasurer, S. s. Stabler,
Frederick.
The members of the faculty of the
Maryland Agricultural College have
been admitted as members of this as
sociation. The idea is to promote the
study of agriculture in the various
counties of the State. In Minnesota
there are about 140 agricultural high
schools. There are about five in
Maryland.
The following high school teachers
Of Frederick county attended the seq
sions of the association in Baltimore

Shreveport, March 18. In
formation about the bringing in
OF another good well by the Pro-
ducers' Oil Company. in the De-
soto section, reached Shreveport
yesterday. The gusher is known
as Sample No. 8. and its chief
Importance lies in the fact that
it extends the field considerably.
The Sample lease is section Sc.
township Is, range IL.
Various reports of the capacity
of the new well were received
here yesterday, estimates differ
ing widely. The best informa-
ton obtainable was that it will
produce about three thousand
barrels.
A telephone message received
from Mansfield last night called
attention to a report circulated
there that the Standard had
brought in the biggest gusher of
the DeSoto field yesterday eve
ming about 5.o'clock. 1t was i'm
possible to verify this statement
in Shreysp0rt. None of the
company's officials interviewed
here had knowledge Of a new
well.
Reports from Naborton yester-
day were to the effect that there
is unprecedented activity in real
estate there. Thirty transfers
were recorded yesterday. The
banner price paid for a lot in Ma
borton was paid yesterday by
Mr.. Charles Alexander, who gave
$3.50 for a single lot.

Ambushed and AssasSinated

Carefully Prepared Blind that Concealed the
Murderer at the Side of the Road
BloodhoundS Take Trail to Two Houses

On Saturday, March IA, abou,
p. M, Breckinrige Starks. 9
well known farmer who lived
near Selma in the northeastern
portion of Grant parish. was way
laid and shot to death on the
model road at point about two
miles southwest of Selma. At a
spot 300 or 400 yards east of the
Iron Mountain railroad, in the
edge of Bear Creek swamp, the
assassin or assassins had prepar-
ed a carefully concealed blind in
the bushes near the road. where
the indications are that he or
they must have waited and watch
ed for the victim a day or two be-
fore ne came along. This is sup
posed to be the case from the
well worn indications at the place
of ambush.
The shooting occurred within a
minute or two Of / O'Clock in the
afternoon, and was heard by two
or three parties. Four shots were
fired from a Winchester rife. only
one of which took effect in the
top of the skull, scattering his
brains and killing the victim in
stantly. Starks was riding his
horse and carrying a sack of eggs
to market, and appeared to have
been pitched from the frightened
animal about forty feet from the
point where he was shot. The
bloody horse ran up to the house
Of Mr.. Atwell near by, causing an
immediate investigation and the :
finding of Starks' dead body.

tragedy at once. and DR.. Black

The Town Talk of March II
comments editorially on the above
as follows:
1t is hoped that the Rapides
parish police jurors will think ia
vorably of the proposition ad-
vanced by the Grant parish po-
lice jury relative to building a
model road between this city and
Colfax, and take some action
leading toward building such a
road. This model road, as men,
toned by Treasurer Mccain, of
Grant parish, would place Alex
andria within an hours ride by
automobile with the parish seat
of Grant. 1t would be the means
of bringing many Grant parish
people here 70 transact business,
to do their trading and get their
pleasures.
1t stands Alexandra in hand to
provide all the good roads possi-
bic leading into the city. 1t will
be of value to the country people
residing along these roads, giving
them easy access to the city and
to the markets with their pro-
duce.
Let everybody talk up the
proposition, and urge the people
of Grant parish to be met half
way with their proposition to
build a road from Alexandria to
Culfax.

ne reflected on the poor. crum-
bling mythologies of the world
b. wh'ch the souls Of men have
I
had glimpses OF or were capable
of imagining, their mistakes be-
came TO him sad or troubling
anything but laughable. ''One
does not laugh at the sight of
the rotten plank that broke in
the hands of a drowning man. !"
And what shall be said of those
who ridicule true religion? Yet
We do not have to travel far or
wait long to find some who. for
example. make light of the ordi-
nances of the Gospel. Beware
of jests about moral convictions
and of ridicule about religion.

CoIfax-Alexandria Model Road.


The Alexandra Town Talk Of
Monday, March 16, has the fol.
lowing news item:
Mr.. c. H. Mccain, parish treas
urer of Grant parish. is in the
city. and called at the Town Talk
Office, saying that he had come to
Rapides parish with a PROPOSE
ton from the people of Grant
parish. and that is that the peo-
pie of ward one of Grant parish
are willing to build a model ROAD
from Colfax in the direction of
Alexandria, if the police jury of
Rapides parish will build from
Alexandria toward Colfax, con-
Meeting with their road at the
parish line.
Such road would be of inesti-
mabie benefit to Alexandria, as it
would put US in close touch with
Colfax and Natchitoches. There
is already good road from
Natchitoches to Colfax. The dis
lance from Alexandria to the
parish line is about fifteen miles,
and from Alexandra to Colfax
about twenty-five miles, along
the route that it is proposed to
build the road, and that is almost
paralleling the Valley railroad.
That railway company. it is re-
ported, has volunteered to furn-
isrand haul a quantity of gravel
to help in the work.
Treasurer Mccain states that
the people of ward one, Grant
parish, have already gotten up a
petition to the Grant parish po-
lice jury asking them to build
the road mentioned, conditioned
upon the same thing being done
in Rapides parish.
The road would put Alexandria
within fiftymiles of Natchitoches. [
We believe that the Rapides
parish police jury will take i'm
mediate steps in the matter of l
this road. Mere will be j
said along this line in the near /.
future.
