STUDY COURSE
TO Be CHANGED
SUPT. HENRY WORKING ON RE.
VISION OF STUDIES IN MOS
cow SCHOOLS
Will be Considered by School Board at
Its Meeting Monday Nights
Important Move

A new course of study for the Mos
COW high school is now in process OF
formulation by Superintendent Chas.
Henry and will be submitted to the
trustees of the district at it's meeting
Monday night. The Moscow schools
have long needed revision Of its
course, the last course having been
adopted in 1907 and is become some
what antiquated,
The course adopted in 1907 was IN
compliance with tie requirements for
entrance into the university. There
has been many changes in the courses
at the university and these changes
have not been made uniform in the
high school. The requirements Tor
entrance in the university at this time
provides for 80 credits and a more
liberal course of study as prepared
by Superintendent Henry has been
made to conform along the lines be-
developed by the state board OF educa-
tion for elementary schools.
During the past several months the
commissioner of education and the
state board of education have been
making study Of the public schooi
system with a view Of standardizlng
the work uniformly throughout the
state.
The meeting Monday night will re-
suit in the consideration OF NUMBER
of matters among which will be de-
cision relative to the elimination OF
entry during the middle of the year
of new pupils in the primary grades.
This will eliminate the congestion
ordinarily existing by such reglstra-
tion. 1t is likely the board will DEL
initely exclude primary beginners.

IN. E. HUGHES
Wants BOrah Special

In regard, to the proposed Borah
train to Chicago, Mr.. Jones says:
"Now that the republicans nave
called their national convention, to
meet at Chicago June7, and inasmuch
as Committeeman Hart has engaged
rooms and headquarters for those VINO
will attend from Idaho, with the COM
mendable idea in view of aiding IN the
selection of William E. Borah for the
presidency, we would suggest that d
train of sleepers for the trip be chart-
cred for the accommodation OF those
desiring to make the trip. This tram
should depart from Pocatello, IN oroer
to accommodate the greater numper'
which in all probability will amount 70
15O or 200 Borah boosters. Such a
movement would be a great alu 10
our favorite son, and incidentally
would be the means of placing ldaho
on the map to the extent OF several
hundred miles"

STEEL STRIKE
ABOUT SETTLED
AMERICAN FEDERATION ORGANIZ-
ER ADVISED MEN TO RETURN
TO WORK ON NEW TERMS
Company Has Offered an Advance of
Three Cents an HOur-Dynamite
Plots Uncovered

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Jan. S-The
strike of $500 steelworkers may be
settled before night. The organizer
of the American federation of Labor
has advised the men to accept the Of
fer of the companies of % cents an
hour instead of 10 cents.
After the dynamite plot was broken
Brigadier General Speaks dispatched
two companies to the Struthers dam
which the strikers threatened to de-
stroy The destruction of this dam
would demolish the town of Struth-
ers.
The troops are kept from the busi-
ness district lest their presence incite
new rioting. Most of the forces were
kept at the tube plant which is three
miles from the ruined district of East
Youngstown.
A plot to dynamite the Republic
steel plant was frustrated today when
a disguised militiaman overheard the
plOItGIS. OudIUSluGn were dI OHCS
dispatched to guard the plant. Twen
ty high salaried officials of the COM
pany stood by the furnaces though the
plants are not in operation. If the
fires were permitted to die the fur
naces would be ruined.
Organizers are predicting strike
of 10000 steel workers in Mahoning
Valley within a week unless the trrOu-
BILE is settled. Three of those injured
received fatal wounds. The strikers
are mostly Austrians.
One person is known to be dead, 81
injured and $1,OOOOOO property dam
age by fire as a result of last nights
riots by the $500 striking steelworkers.
Practically the entire business dis
trict was swept away. More than
1900 militiamen prepared in case of
further rioting, remained entrained
this morning. Fourteen saloons, the
postoffice and the International bank
were looted and wrecked. Buckets OF
whiskey were stolen and the rioters
became drink crazed. The one person
killed was shot while leading a mob
into a saloon.

Crops Badly Injured.
The damage done to growing crops,
both corn and cotton, by the wind
and rain runs up into the thousands
of dollars. On many farms corn has
been leveled with the ground, and in
some instances torn up by the roots.
Thousands of acres of cotton were
completely submerged, plants two or
three feet high being entirely covered
by water.
1t appears that only two mill dams
in the county have withstood the de-
luge. The dams at Parker's mill,
Williford's mill, Lees mill, Melton's
mill and Browns mill were all swept
away. The dams at Walters mill and
Clark's mill are intact.
Wind Does Damage.
About two O'Clock Friday after

two mules, but they were only slight

TORRENTS OF Rain Do
TREMENDOUS DAMAGE
BRIDGES WASHED AWAY, ROAD
BEDS DESTROYED AND FIELDS
CONVERTED INTO SEA.

One Of the heaviest downpours of
rain ever known in the history of this
section fell Friday night and Satur-
day. 1t was veritable cloudburst,
and at times the precipitation resem-
bled a solid sheet of water. The
foodgates of heaven seemed to open
and present to the gaze visions of
another biblical flood After the rain
had subsidized bottom lands were solid
seas of water and small creeks and
gullies were raging rivers.
The damage to railroad beds, pub
lie highways, bridges and growing
crops cannot be estimated with any
degree of accuracy, but it is many
thousands of dollars.
Nearly Drowned in Public Road.
The entire roadbed of the public
road from Middle creek swamp, one
mile this side of the Hollis bridge,
was covered with water, and people
picked up trout en- the highway.
The road for three hundred yards
this side of Wright's bridge was COW
cred with water from two to five feet
deep; the floor of the bridge was 8
feet under water, and the film be-
tween the two bridges on the Lee
county side was washed away. Two
citizens of Bronwood going to view
the rushing torrents of Kinchafoonee
at that place were floated into a deep
ditch by the high water, and after
crying loudly for help some men out
on the high ground rushed in and cut
the mule loose from the buggy. The
occupants and mule swan to safety,
while the buggy floated down the
creek.
Water at divers mill was higher
than ever before known, reaching the
mill house floor.
Six hundred feet of film at Will
burns bridge, which was recently
built by the convicts of Terrell and
Sumter counties, was swept away,
and at this point as we'll as many 9TH

TOM STRINGFELLOW
GAINS q POUNDS
RAILROAD MAN SAYS TANLAC
is THE ONLY THING THAT
EVER HELPED HIM.

"If the people of this town only
knew what Tanlac has done for me
you would sell thousand bottles to-
morrow" said Tom Stringfellow, a
well known employee of the Southern
railway, who lives at 126 East Ninth
street, Admission, Ala. Mr.. Stringfel-
low is well known in railway circles,
and is on the Atlanta and Birming-
ham division. His many friends will
be glad to hear of his complete res
toration to health.
81 suffered from stomach trouble
and indigestion for four years, con-
tinued Mr.. Stringfellow, land got so
l couldn't eat hardly anything. l
fell off until l only weighed 119
pounds and finally got so weak and
rundown l was on the point of hav-
ing to resign my position. To tell
you the truth, just felt like life was
not worth living because just seem
ed to be getting worse all the time
and nothing seemed to do me any
good.
81 would have awful pains in my
back and kidneys and could hardly
sleep. Two hours each night would
be about all the sleep | would get.
Most always after eating | would
have gas on my stomach and my heart
palpitated. / would get weak in my
limbs and have dizzy spells and would
have spots in front of my eyes.
about a month ago l began read
ing about Tanlac, and heard the rail
road men talking about it. Several
of my friends had taken the medicine
and said it was fine thing for stom-
ach trouble, so | decided to give it
trial The first bottle helped me so
much | kept on taking it and have
Just finished my fifth bottle. When |
weighed the other day kicked the
beam at 141 pounds, and was so sur
prised | turned around to see if
some one was not standing on the
scales. Yes, sir; that's fact. l had
actually gained % pounds and feel
like a well man again for the first
time in four years.
"Tanlac helped me right from the
start and before | had finished tax
ing the second bottle l got so l would
eat and sleep and work as good as
anybody. That's what the medicine
did for me, and everybody who knows
me will tell you the same thing. Why,
l can just eat anything now, and in
digestion never bothers me particle
any more. l can sleep good, too, and
feel just fine in every way. Speak
ing of eating, my grocery bills have
gone up to almost double.
Gust to show you what l think of
the medicine l bought dozen bottles
today in order to always have a sup
ply on hand. l wouldn't be without
It for anything in the world"
Tanlac is sold in Dawson exclu.
