One city which had paid out 81, 800 a

was still possible TO retaliate by re-
turning those who had been passed

less and less necessary. Intelligent

In the retail prices of food was about

SCHOOL BOARDWINS LOWEST EDUCATION|
in SUIT BROUGHT BYFDND PERMISSIBLE
A FORMER TEACHER.FOR FERRY PASS.

The returns from the school cleo
ton at Ferry Pass were counted
Tuesday and showed that G. E.
Haynes, K. L. Jones and J. A. Clash
have been elected as trustees for the
ensuing term.
At the same time the tax levy was
decided upon, and the rate was set at
one mill, which is the minimum ap-
preparation allowed a district. This
rate is exactly half of the rate which
has been assessed before, and lowers
the funds for school expenditures to
approximately $40 per year.
Under the former rate, with the
valuation of the resources, the
amount raised by the tax was ap-
proximately sos, this amount being
considered scarcely sufficient for the
work. With the cut in half, the funds
raised will probably not be sufficient
to pay the teachers salary.
An election will be held at Brent to-
day for the purpose of deciding upon
the trustees of tn eschool and the
millage to be levied.

THIS NEGRO ACTUALLY
BROKE INTO COUNTY JAIL

Hays Carter, colored, has the dis
tinction of actually breaking into the
county Jail, and for that unenviable
record, he is now locked up there,
charged with breaking and entering,
also with petty larceny.
Carter is one of those who was
lately released from custody, after
serving a term in the county jail.
While a prisoner there, he was a
sort of a trusty, and was worked all
over the building. That gave him a
sort of familiarity with the habits of
officials who have officers in the court
building, and, it is charged, Carter
managed to get inside on Sunday aft
ernoon last, forced the door of the
probation officers office open and
helped himself to clothing which had
been sent there for needy people IN
response to public appeals made by
Probation Officer Pinney. He had on
a suit of clothes when arrested which
Mr.. Pinney said had been taken from
his Office without authority.

After consuming the entire time of
the court of record for three full
days, the case brought by Prof. H. c.
Harper against the Board of Public
Instruction ended Tuesday night
about $50 o'clock, when the jury, out
more than three hours, returned a
verdict in favor of the defendant
board. Harper asked for the sum CT
$500, or as much as the jury thought
he had been due and damaged by the
fact that he had been ousted from The
principalship at Century, where SIX
teachers are employed, but the jury
could not see it in that light, and rot
only did not allow the salary which
he maintained was due on his con-
tract, but allowed nothing for his dis
turbed peace of mind, as it was re-
ferred to in the progress of the case.
The third day was not the least
less interesting than the two preced-
ing ones. The greater part Of the
afternoon was consumed in the able
arguments offered, while the forenoon
was taken up in the introduction Of
rebuttal testimony
In the conduct of the case, the most
prominent citizens of Century were
called in, and both pupils and +each-
ers were called as witnesses, both for
defense and plaintiff.
Prof. Harper, it was shown, had
been engaged to teach at Century
upon the highest recommendations
although it was shown that he did
not hold a state certificate, and when
he tried the examination at Tallahas'
see, was unsuccessful. His recon-
mendations, however, justified the
trustees in giving him the school, anC
as he was at the time satisfactory
to practically all patrons, he wai
placed in charge by the board of pub
lie instruction. He remained, it wai
stated, for a total of about foul
months, and finally, when he was an
able to preserve discipline, he called
the trustees into consultation, and il
was said that said trustees wert
agreeable that he tender his resigna,
ton. Such however, he claims, wa
never presented, but he was displaced
after a four-month service.
