There is a much larger out of

will enter within the next two
weeks.
1t is interesting to note the in
creased interest in education, and
especially in higher educotion. They
are not only interested in High
School, but High School graduates
are continuing their work in higher
institutions of the country.
During the coming session there
will be seven Of the county High
school graduates at the University
of Tennessee, three at Randolph

and ten at the West Tennessee State
Normal. Eleven of last years grad
yates are reported for college en-
trance this year.
There are twenty-five graduates
already reported this year for en-
trance in college. Others of the
High school graduates have finish
ed their college course and are hold
ing good positions.
Why doesn't every body in the
county take advantage offered by
the High school from which comes
such splendid instruction and in
spiration to higher things.

II. uerteh Law.

Chattanooga Tenn. Sept. RE
plying to a request from B. c. Witt,
chairman of the Polk county cleo
ton commission, for an opinion
with reference to the construction
of chapter 81, acts of 1915, regard
ing the application Of the Dortch
law. Acknowledgement Frank M.
Thompson today announced that
the act, in order to stand at all,
would have to be construed as ap-
plying only to counties having not
more than 1885 population and
not less than 13,545, according to
the federal census Of 1910 or any
subsequent federal census.
The word not" it is held, was ev-
identity intended by the author of
the act and the legislature to ap-
pear in it. Gen. Thompson, in an
exhaustive opinion, cites legal pre-
cedents for supplying the missing
word, and concludes as follows:
This rule Of construction grows
out of the fact that it is made the
administration as well as judicial
duty Of officers to so construe each
statute as to preserve it rather than
give it such construction as will de-
stroy it and render it value less
There it has alwaps been the rule
that words may be modified, alter
ed or supplied in a statute in order
to carry out the legislative intent
and to preserve it.-Tennessean and

A Remarkable Statement.

Messrs. Frank Boren, Hubert Boz
rem and Berry Moore, Of Darden,
were in Lexington Wednesday morn
ing and made a most remarkable
statement relative to the Holiness
people who are holding a meeting
at Beacon, Decatur county, but a
few miles from Darden in this coun-
ty. 1t is well known that these Hol-
mess people make the claim that
they are immune to the bite OF poi
sonous snakes and some young fell
lows, one of them being Edgar
Hobbs, a son of Riley Hobbs, of Bea-
con, went out and caught a snake
which he delivered to the Holiness
meeting. Another young man
caught another snake for the same
purpose, both of the snakes being Of
poisonous kinds. AT the meeting
Tuesday night, it is told by most re-.
putable persons, that the boxes Of
snakes were open barehanded by
the preachers and the snakes hand
led by them, and handed to the wife
of one of the preachers. That the
snakes bit the men who handled
them, there can be no doubt and
without any i'll effect to the men, so
far as the informants knew How
ever, one man named Baker, who
was bitten by one of the snakes,
was sick from the bite. We make
this statement because it was told
in Lexington by men whose veraci-
ty could not be doubted.
