thority from Chaplain Thomas Of Mid

CHARGED WITH BURGLARY.

Raymond Sharlow, IS years old, Of
West Enosburg, was brought to ST.
Adams and given a hearing in the City
court on charge of breaking into W. r..
Ovitt's store. He was bound over for
appearance at the March term Of Frank
lin County court in the sum of $500,
which he was unable to furnish and
was remanded to Jail. Money had been
missed from the store at different
times and men were sleeping in the
store and caught Sharlow when, it is
alleged, he broke in Saturday at mid
night.

LIGHTS ON VEHICLES.
St. Adams Messenger.

Altogether too much has been writ
ten about the carrying of lights on
horse-drawn vehicles from the stand
point of the man in the wagon. 1t is
a waste of time to argue from that
point of view, for the man of brains
and some concern for his own safety
does not need law to make him carry
a light; he will carry one because he

DROWNED IN LAKE CHAMPLAI


Earl c, Morrill, and John Smithof Hunt
ington, aged p, were both drowned in
Lake Champlain between Hog Back
Island and the long I'll Of the Rutland
railroad on Sunday, while the two with
Others were on a fishing trip for the
day. The two men with o, II, and b, h,
Morrill, of Huntington and DrJ, Witty
and son, John Of Williston, left Burling-
ton in the morning in +, A, Brodie's mo-
tor boat, Uncas, The wind was blowing
stidly from the south but not enough
seriously to impede their progress.
When the boat was within 100 rods or
so from the drawbridge Mr., Morrill,
who was near the engine stepped upon
the small deck Of the stern to wave to
the tranmen Of milk train, Mr.,
Smith was near him, sitting down,
Suddenly Morrill, lost his balance ms the
boat lurched and fell into the water.
Mr. Smith either went in to save him,
or was pulled in. The engine became
disabled as the occupants Of the boat
attempted to reverse it and the boat
stopped. Mr.. Morrill,, the uncle, tried
to swim to the drowning men but was
unable to get that far. An attempt to
save the men with lie preservers proved
also futile.

that children between the ages of eight and fourteen shall attend school for not less than four months a wear Exceptions to this requirement apply to those children who have completed the fourth grade of the grammar (eIe- mentary) school, those whose parents or guardians are in Restitution. those whose services are needed in farm emergencies, and those who are men, tally or physically incapable. Viola tors of the law are subject to adequate penalties"
 The deplorable results of want of q compulsory school attendance Law in Georgia are strikingly evident in the large number of pupils who quit school between the second and the seventh grades in the white schools. There were 5S,246 pupils who entered the second grade for the year ending De- cember 31, 1915; only 26,57S entered the seventh grade for that year, which shows that 31,670 pupils quit school between these two grades; in other words, Georgia is not giving over half her white pupils a seventh-grade edu- cation.
 The public school course of Georgia covers II years, with the exception of a few of it's progressive cities which have recently added the twelfth grade. According to the annual school report for the white schools of Georgia for the year ending December 31, 1915. there were 2,045 pupils who entered the eleventh grade; this shows that only one pupil in every 2S of those who entered the second grade entered the eleventh grade.
 In Illinois, with a statewide com pulsory attendance law, for the school year ending June 30, 1915 there were 127,629 enrolled in the second grade and 103, ,347 pupils enrolled in the sev- enth grade; which shows that Illinois is giving over 80 per cent of her chil-

DEFEATS
 BLEVINS; SCORE 45 TO 0

In fast and well played game Prescott piled up a good score on the Blevins team Thursday on the local gridiron. The Prescott boys were out weighed but in no way were they out played. The game was very exciting to the extent that every one wanted to see what kind of a fake play or forward pass Bush, the new quarter, was going to pull off next and to see who was going to make the next touchdown for Prescott. The game began late because the Blevins team was delayed by automobile troubles.
 The game began with Prescott re- ceiving the ball from the kickoff; {; Bush began with forward passes to his ends; Bleyins began with good de- fensive ball. After playing for eight minutes Cycle Stewart received for ward pass and went over for the first touchdown. Blevins received and in line plunge tumble and Cycle Stew art received on Blevins ten yard line, Bush went over for touchdown, but failed to kick goal. First quarter ended with Prescott 12, Blevins 0.
 The second quarter began with Blevins receiving from kickoff; with end runs and line plunges they sue ceeded in bringing the ball to Pres cott's thirty yard line, but at last Prescott got possession of the ball. Forward passes were tried but failed, and again Blevins got the ball, only to lose on a tumble. Bracy Haynie then received forward pass and scored the only touchdown of this quarter. The second quarter ended with Blew ins in possession of the ball.
 Third quarter began by Blevins re- ceiving the ball and with determina- ton to even up the score. Prescott was penalized fifteen yards; both sides failed to make downs and Blew ins in possession of the ball kicked to Garner, who fumbled, losing thirty yards to Blevins. The third quarter ended with Prescott in possession of the ball.
 In the fourth quarter Prescott came into her own. as forward passes and end runs by Stewart and Wilson were pulled off in such rapid succession

LITTLE ROCK DEMOCRATS
 CELEBRATE ELECTION

Little Rock, Nov. 11.-Enthusiastic Democrats of Little Rock find it diff cult to restrain their joy over the re- Suit of the national election. In fact, they are making very little effort to restrain themselves. They are happy and want everybody to know it. The first outburst of enthusiasm came about midnight Thursday when the fires flashed that California was safe for Wilson, insuring Democratic sue cess. There was a big parade of sev- eral thousand shouting citizens and footing automobiles up and down Main street, and that was repeated Friday night when another parade was staged that made the Hughes supporters look sick 1t was tre- 'mendous outpouring of enthusiasm that had long been under restraint They felt that it was justified by the greatest Democratic victory ever won in the history of the country, by the .overturning of a historic Republican majority, and the election of a Demo- cratic president for the first time to succeed himself. The arrangements for the big parade were made by Jos w. House, Jr., chairman of the State Central Committee, and C. c. Kava- naugh, crairman of the Pulaski county .committee

that Blevins was rushed off their feet. In the first two minutes Wilson went over for six more points. Blevins re- ceived but failed to make down and again Wilson ran for a touchdown. Blevins received with four minutes to play, but were again unsuccessful and before the final whistle blew Will son carried the ball over for the final six. The stars for Blevins were Err win, Hartless and Harris. For Pres colt it would be unfair to mention any one personally, as all fought hard throughout the game. James Bush played a good game at quarter, and the tackling on the defense and by making his plays we'll on the offen- sive. The final score was 45 to 0.

dren seventh grade education. For thls same year in Illinois there were l5,Sl2 pupils enrolled in the eleventh grade, which shows that one in every seven pupils enrolled in the second grade enters the eleventh grade.* It IS expected, however, that Georgia will make signal progress in her pub- llc school attendance under her new compulsory attendance law, and that within the next decade public senti- ment Tn that state will demand a still better law. The Atlanta Journal, in the editorial already quoted, pays tribute to the agencies that have worked for many years in order to make it possible for Georgia to take this first step toward better school at tendance, as follows:
 Many persons and many agencies have worked faithfully, through years of difficulty and disappointment, for this benefcent legislation. The Georgia Teachers Association. the forces of organized labor, notably the Journal of Labor published in At lanta, women's clubs, progressive trade bodies, notably the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, and construc- | tive newspapers-these and divers others have given the cause of com Ipulsory school attendance unstinted support. Particularly earnest and effective, however, has been the ser vice of the State Superintendent of Education, Professor M. L. Britain. who has labored with a zeal that comes from heart-deep conviction and with an insight which experience alone can supply"
 It is clearly evident that there is plenty of room for improvement in the public school attendance of both Illinois and Georgia. An aroused public sentiment in behalf of a better school attendance will do more for it's improvement than all the laws that can ever De written upon the statute books. The public press is the agency through which to arouse public senti- ment until it will no longer tolerate the present poor attendance at our public schools throughout the nation.
 The comparison above is for the same years in both states. The public
 school course in Illinois covers 12 years. :.
