liceman.'
Kempke replied that as a reserve OIL
Ger he did not feel himself bound to
call a policeman Mr." any more than
he would an inferior officer. For this
remark the policeman arrested Kempke.
with the aid of another guardian Of
the law.
Kruger then came up and. touching
his friend on the arm, told him TO go
quietly. as nothing could really be
brought against him. Another police
man regarded the touch on the arm as
an effort on the part of Kruger TO
rescue his friend, so bringing out his
handouts he put them on Kruger so
tightly that that gentleman cried out:
You viii burst my veins"
The two men were taken of to the
police station and were released after
several hours on establishing their
identity with the help Of friends.
In court they were charged with
having insulted the officials, resisted
police authority. assaulted the police in
the execution Of their duty and en-
deavOrlug to escape

dropped. but against the other defend
ant the public prosecutor called for

The court, however, only fined him
$3.50 for insult.

THE ACCELERATION BILL

The Commercial Clubs Com
mittee Of Fifty should meet with
no difficulty in its effort to Sc
cure the signatures OF a large
numbers of voters to a petition
to the Legislature for the pas
sage OF a bill to accelerate the
abolition of the Fiscal Court in
counties which have voted for its
abolition.
The proposed acceleration bill
is not a ripper bill. 1t is not
designed to provide pork for any
political faction or party, or for
any person. It's advocates wish
merely to put into effect, at the
earliest time possible under the
Constitution, a change in the sys-
tenn of county government which
has been decided upon by the
voters who constitute a court of
last resort in such matters.
1t would be most unfortunate
for the counties which have ex-
pressed themselves as being in
favor of the change to be forced
to wait four years to elect COM
missioners, in the meantime de
pending upon their Fiscal Courts
for the discharge OF the county
busin ess. 1t is not reasonable to
believe that the county roads
would be maintained during the
next four years as we'll as they
have been during the last four,
and the manner in which they
have been neglected, or ineffec-
lively and extensively mended,
has been highly satisfactory.
A road is like a farm in that it is
never at a standstill. If it is
properly maintained it constant
ly increases in quality. If it is
not properly kept up it constant
ly grows worse.
During the next four years the
counties that have voted to
change their form OF govern
ment will spend, in the aggre-
gate, several millions upon roads
and other improvements. The
General Assembly should and
doubtless will recognize the i'm
portance of protecting them
from the catastrophe of having
to sit with folded hands and see
their already discountenanced
Fiscal Courts squander the
county funds as they wish

To our way of thinking, the
present school law is the worst
we have ever had, being pattern
ed after the law Of some state
where mixed schools are toler-
ated. Under it a colored voter
may vote for a colored visitor
and for a trustee for the white
schools, while a white voter can
vote for a trustee of the white
schools only. Such a law ought
to be stricken from our statute
booke altogether, but if this can
not be done, it should certainly
be amended so as not to permit
colored voters to select a trustee
for the white schools.

Last Friday morning. January

known merchants, delivered a
lecture to the student body on;
International Peace" His sub
ject which was a most practical
one, was well treated and was
enjoyed very much by all who
heard him.
Last Friday afternoon was the
prescribed time for the election
of the officers of the Purple and
Old Gold" Literary Society.
Miss Mary Beall, of the Junior
Class was elected President,
James Van SAINT, Vice-President,
John Mcclure. Secretary and last
but not least Carroll Kelly was
elected Treasurer. The last three
mentioned are members of the
Senior Class,
Since the organization of the
Society about four years ago, it
has always been customary for
members of the two upper class
es, to hold the offices of President
and Secretary. Although there
is not a clause in the constitu-
ton to this effect, it is on the
same principle that forbids man
from being President of the
United States for three terms.
In fact it has been practiced so
much, that it has become an un-
written law. The Sophomore
Class had a majority of the votes
OF the Society and like Theodore
Roosevelt, were determined to
change the custom, by electing
Sophomore to fill the Offices OF
President and Secretary. Need
les to say their first attempt end
ed like that of the "Bullmooser."
At the proper time they rallied
around their commander and
marched to chapel. Upon enter
ing the room they were all in
smiles but upon leaving-the
writer will not attempt to de-
scribe the procession. They had
forgotten that there was a clause
in the constitution, stating that
there should not be over three
candidates nominated for the
same Office. When the Presi-
dent announced "nomin ations
for President are now in order"
three students were recognized
in order by the President and
nominated students of the Jun
Tor Class. The name of the
candidate was not
put before the meeting. Thus
we see by the ignorance of the
constitution, they were forced
to succumb to the superior polit-
cal ability of the two upper
classes.
This is examination week
The time of year when the pu-
pills are happy or otherwise, most

the semi-annual tortue which the
School Board demands that we

our instructors could of their
own accord be so cruel but when
the Powers that be" have spok-

advisability of Exams anyway |

PLANS TO OPEN 100000 PURSES.

Miss Genevieve Clark, daughter of
the Speaker of the House. is at the
head of plan for a national white
goods sale. which will not only
open the purses of 1900, 600 of wom-
en-. but which will go far to boom
ing our own cotton trade.
For one week stores all over the
country will have a sale of white
goods, according to the plan of Miss
Clark and her friends, and the spec
tacle Of millions of women flocking
to the bargain counter is a picture
which is fit only 20 be attempted
by a Fox or a Goldberg.
Lucy Hoke Smith, daughter of
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia,
and Lucy Burleson. daughter of the
Postmaster General. who are help
ing Miss Clark. have taken good
care to get the consent and aid of
the movement. but backed BY their
elders they intend to carry the pro-
ject through.
Word comes from New York and
Chicago and other big cities that
the society women will take hold of
the plan and do everything in their
power to make it a success
Thiss national bargain sale of cot
ton goods is expected to have a very
material influence on the banking
situation Paul Warburg, of the
Federal Reserve Board. told the
House Committee on Banking and
Currency this week that the people
are boarding many millions of cash
and thereby embarrassing business.
This bargain sale will bring, per-
haps 100000 900 of these boards into
active circulation. As people always
select gold or legal tender for pur-
poses of boarding. the release of So
10000 will mean an increase of more
than A0.000.0 COO in the lending power
of banks. Even il every woman in
the country spends only so cents. the
estimate of $10.6o0.o 900 woul be very
conservative. 1t Is declared.
Cotton Fashion Sale.
Miss Clark's own efforts will be
superfcially directed toward a ma
tio9al cotton fashion show, to be
given in the near future.
