THAT SHADY SCHOOL CROUCH

Editor Star: In your issue of the
18th, you have a wall from Shady
carrying something of criticism of
the county school management.
With reference to the handling of
the school text books / will say that
that has been one of the most per-
picking problems that the county
board and myself have had to contend
with all these years. We have dis
cussed various methods of meeting
the necessities of the case, including
the handling of them at the office in
the courthouse, but for different con-
siderations have so far felt that it
was better for them to be supplied
from the outside. It has all during
these years been the case that at
times all the books would not be in
stock and it is unavoidable that peo-
pie will be disappointed sometimes
about getting them. l fully appre-
ciate the feeling of disappointment
and disgust in measure that party
from a distant part of the county
feels when they come to Ocala with
list of books to get and can get only
a part or possibly none of them. We
have conferred right along with the
dealers and they seem to be doing
what they can to supply the demands.
; Your correspondent is absolutely
wrong in speaking of the books not be-
ing ordered until they are ordered
for the Ocala school. The Ocala |
school has absolutely nothing to do
with it as a list of the schools with |
their approximate grades were fur
nished the dealers of those schools
opening on or about August 1st and
orders for books sent to the book
houses. The insinuation that Ocala |
was getting better treatment than the
county schools is too weak, whimsi-
cal and puny to be worthy of re-
spectful attention, and your CORES
pondent should see to it that he or
she informs the people that she told
that they would have to wait for the
Ocala order, that she knew absolutely
nothing of what he or she was say
ng.
In regard to the second teacher be-
ing allowed for the Shady school I
will say that the Shady school is in
The same position as a number of
schools all over the county and we
know no reason that they should re-
.eive special consideration more than
Shiloh, Buck Pond, Martel, Graham
vile and number of other places.
We simply require an average of 35
pupils in school before we will fur
lish an additional teacher and the
regulation holds good throughout the
county and when Shady makes her
average for month we shall be very
glad to furnish the additional teach
II.
From the tone of the criticism your
seems to be rather un-
of the splendid new
school house erected within the last
swo years from county funds exclus-
vely and we have just given direc-
ions to have well that will probably
.ost more than $100 put down.
The whack at the city cousins is
entirely out of place as they have
lothing whatever to do with the ad-
ninistration of school affairs for the
county. These are handled by the
BOARD of public instruction and they
md the superintendent belong to the
county at large and it our purpose to
give all square deal so far as pos
;ible.
We shall welcome criticisms from
my source and will try to take care
II them Very respectfully,
L

Information to this effect has been

VILLA KILLED WITH POISON.
JAPANESE PHYSICIAN SAYS
Bandits Gamble With Dice to Select
New Leader to Impersonate
Chief.

Chihuahua City, Mex, Aug. 25.-A
Japanese physician of the name of
Nodko claims to have brought about
the death of Villa by slow poison, Civ
en- under the guise of medical treat
ment, according to the chihuahua To-
cal papers.
After Villas death, Doctor Nodko is
quoted as saying that the remaining
Villa leaders gambled with dice to dc.
eide who should impersonate the dead
chief, and the lot fell to Colonel Baca,
who bears a strong personal resem-
blance to Villa. To prevent the de-
ception from being disclosed, Colonel
Beca is said to be surrounded by his
personal bodyguard, who keep the
common soldiers and ranchers from
coming too near.
Doctor Nodko, according to the pa,
pers, had been administering poison
for three months, with the result that
Villa died shortly after his defeat at
Parral.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Navy officials

Not in Sympathy. With Move
For Higher Rates.

Washington, Aug rs. 49, ObjectiOns
which developed at a night meeting
of railroad presidents and managers,
to point to the tentative plan evolved
by the committee of eight presidents,
considering ways to avoid the threat

Their postponement of final action.
The conference adjourned to meet
again today, and, as one president
phrased it, the situation is such that
1T may be settled in 20 minutes, or
the matter may go over until next
week."
A statement issued by the railroad
executives summed it up this way:
Takes No Definite Action.
AT the invitation Of President VIII
son, Messrs. Hale, Holden, judge R.
S. Lovett and Daniel Willard went to
the White House at noon and held a
short conference with the President
"A conference of the railroad exec
utives was held at O'Clock and e.
new phase of the situation of some
Importance was laid before the con-
ference by the special committee.
AFTER considerable discussion with
out definite action, an adjournment
was taken. In the meantime, the spe-
cial committee of the presidents will
continue it's labors.''
Would Provide e-Hour Day.
The special committees plan drafted
| after weeks consideration would
provide for granting an eight&our
"basic'' day to the trainmen, but with
! assurance that every effort would be
made by the administration to secure
! a freight rate increase to recompense
/ the roads, and further assurance that
! Congress would be asked to enact leg
| 1slaticn to insure settlement of future
labor disputes through an Investigate
| Ing committee.
The entire plan has not been laid
| before all the executives and mama
gers, but its points have been dis
eussed at the various conferences.
Shippers Oppose Rate Increase
1t developed after the meeting that
objection had been raised to the
freight rate increase feature on at
least two grounds. 1t was argued by
some that there can be no assurance
of rate increase because no one
could say what the Interstate Oem-
merce commission might do and that
some OF the most important shippers
OF the country already have made it
plain that they are not in sympathy
with any move which may mean rate
Increase.
President Wilson is said to have
taken the position that the freHht
rate increase will be forthcoming be-
cause the weight of public opinion will
back the eight-hour day and will also
back any plan to give the railroads
the revenue to provide for the added
expense.
