SCHOOL
WORK Of MISS
Plan in Effect in Benton
School Good for
Gonzalez School.

The report of the committee of
the school board, which visited the
agricultural school at Benton, Miss.
has been presented to the board, and
il Of interest as many of the princi-
pies will probably be applied to the
new school at Gonzalez.
The committee was composed of L.
S. Gilmore and w L Seasons, who
visited the Mississippi school for sew
oral days. In discussing his trip to
the school Mr.. Gilmore stated that
many of the features of the school
could be used in the school for this
section, and that much of the depart
mental work was particularly valua-
BILE.
Mr. Gilmore said that the Benton
people encountered many difficulties
in their school work at first. After
popular subscription had failed to get
the required money, a petition was
signed by 25 per cent of the residents
of the district which procured a one
mill appropriation from the commits
sioners.
/ After a brief review of the work
in the manual training departments
Mr.. Gilmore took up the discussion Of
! the agricultural department, and the
elementary lessons which are taught
in the lower grades. "The students
are taught the underlying principles
of rotation and diversifcation, sale
Mr.. Gilmore, "and the practical farm
I work. In this part of the work the
actual conditions must be met by thu
students, and doing the work them
selves forms a part of the course. The
| technical side of farming is not ne
elected, and the study of the soil, anC
proper fertilization, from large par
of the practical side of farming. Il
this connection budding, grating ant
warding off parasitic diseases ar
thoroughly taught"
The hog raising in the school ant
its value to the state, is stressed b!
Mr.. Gilmore, who said it is now prov
ing one of the greatest sources o
revenue to the farmer in that section
who formerly raised cotton. Since tn
advent of the boil weevil, cultivation
of the latter product has become s
improbable as to be superseded b,
the hog.
81 was very much pleased with m
trip" said Mr.. Gilmore, "and am NOR
convinced Of our needs of an agri
cultural school, as it viii qualify on
boys and girls for the duties and re
sponsibilities of life"

COMPLICATEDCO COUNTING
SYSTEM is RESPONSIBLE
FOR ERRORSIN THE VOTE
COUNT, SAYS GILCHRIST

defeated, cast, in the second primary,
what was really their second choice
votes for one of the two high candi
dates who survived the first primary.
When we had two primaries, the sec
ond choice votes, the same being cast
in the second primary, usually deter
mined the election. Now, in one pri-
mary, the second choice votes are of
as much importance as they were
formerly, when we had two primaries.
Every one knows that it was very
difficult to instruct the voters as to
how to cast their second choice votes.
As the second choice votes now count
only when the voter cast his first
choice vote for one of the defeated
candidates and his second choice vote
for one of the two leading candidates,
1t is very difficult for unframed in
spectors to accurately count the sec
ond choice votes. In the original
count of the second choice votes,
Cats received about 5000, and Knott
about $500, about two and one-half
to one, in favor of Knott. Copies
of the tally sheet used by the in
spectors Of the election were sent to
the county judge, and to the super
visor of election of the respective
counties. They are public documents,
and under the law, are subject 20 in
spection. When Knots counsel ask
ed to inspect them, in some cases he
was met with refusal.
I am not lawyer. I understood
that in order to bring mandamus pro-
ceedings, it is necessary to show sTe-
officially the errors complained of.
Some newspapers have suggested a
recount of all the votes. Unless spe-
cific errors could be showa, no man
damus would be issued, Knott is
therefore limited to those precincts
in which the returns show error or
in which error or irregularities are
shown by affidavit. In some pre-
cincts, it has been shown that the re-
turns were so irregular that it was
difficult for the county eanvassira
board to determine for whom the sec
end choice votes were intended to be
cast. Owing to difficulty of counting
the second choice votes and to the
fact that Knott received about two
and one-half Of such votes to Cats
one, it is safe to say that if the votes
in every county in Florida, were re.
counted that Knott would gain from
ten to twenty votes in every one OF
the SO counties. Cats was the first
to use the courts, calling in the court
to his assistance in the Alachua pre-
cinct of Alachua county. Some seen
to think that it is highly impropel
for Knott to cal in the courts, al
though it is well known fact tina
the court settled the Mays-Keho'
contest, in primary election for con
gress.
When l published my little piece
after my defeat for the senate, l stat

Corpus Christi Storm Center
and All Wires Go
Down Early.
SOLDIERS IN CAMP
MENACED BY STORM
One Boat With Crew of
Twelve Reported Foun-
dered in the Gulf.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Corpus Christi, Tex, Aug. lS.-
Blowing at a seventy miles an hour
rate, a wind, believed to be the fore
runner of the tropical storm in the
Gulf of Mexico, was felt here tonight
as it approached the Texas coast at
this point, Brownsville, and intermed-
late points.
The local weather bureau estimates
that the crest of the storm viii reach
here about midnight, with one hun
bred and twenty miles an hour wind.
Corpus Christi, Texas, a town OF
twenty thousand people, probably will
receive the brunt of the tropical
storm now approaching the Texas
coast, off the Gulf of Mexico. Wire
communication with Corpus Christi
was interrupted soon after seven
o'clock last night. The wind then had
reached seventy miles an hour. Warm
ing had been given by the weather
bureau that it would reach one hun
dred and twenty miles an hour.
Brownsville, Texas, reported by
wireless, many windows broken, level
! ed fences and trees and the razing
of tents in the military camps had
resulted from the storm. National
| guardsmen sought refuge in the city
hall, court house and warehouses.
| The wind there was sixty miles an
| hour.
So far twelve lives may be lost in
the storm, the steamer Pilot Boy, a
coastwise vessel, being reported lost.
The vessel had crew of twelve. 1t
was thought the boat sunk in the
gulf about noon, Friday.

A. W. Gilchrist explains the second
choice voting problem in the follow
ing statement and shows how error
might be made in the computation.
It will also be seen that Cats was the
first to have recourse IN the courts.
Mr. Gilchrist authorizes the fol-
lowing!
1t has been published that "Mr.
Cats has stated that detective has
discovered that the boxes were open
ed at midnight" referring to Green
vile precinct. Mr.. Knott states, 81
have in hand correspondence and affi-
davit that lead me to the conclusion
that If any ballots were tempered
with in Madison county, the emissar-
les of Mr.. Cats deliberately did it,
or had it done, in order that he might
charge that it was done in my behalf,
and might now use it as political
thunder" / claim that it is the duty
of Cats and Knott to make known to
the public whatever information they
may have In relation to such matter.
If the information warrants it, a spe-
cial session of the circuit court, in
and for Madison county, should be
held at once, in order that the guilty
parties might be indicted, tried, and
If guilty, convicted. The governor of
the state should issue a reward of at
least $5,0o0.00 for the arrest and
conviction of the guilty parties.
It has been published that rs men
signed a statement that they voted
for Cats in the June primary. In the
recount much less number was
shown to have voted for hin1 in the
said Greenville, Madison county, pre-
cfnct. This is the precinct above re-
ferred to. This should be cleared up.
/ Tt was claimed that there was a
fraud in the recount In a certain pre-
| cinct in Suwanee county. Knott's
friends have secured a statement in
which the requisite number have stat
ed that they voted for Knott. Nc
one has as yet disproved the accuracy
of their statement. The Greenvillt
precinct should be thoroughly shown
up. The governor has at his disposal
sufficient funds to at least try ia
show up this fraud, '7et the chips fall
where they may"
notice that a prominent citizen
of Jacksonville, supporter Of Cats
has written that it would be absurd
to claim that any of Cats friends
could select one ballot box out of over
1000 which would be recounted. After
a mandamus has been requested tt
count the ballots in three or four pre-
cincts, it is not very difficult to Sc
lect one of those three or four boxes
After it was shown that the ballo
box of the WATERFOWL precinct would
| be probably recounted, it has beer
F, published that said ballot box ha
been stolen. If such has been stolen
a reward of 100000 should be is
sued for the arrest and conviction o
the guilty person.
Under our law, the second choic
votes count as much as the frs
choice votes. The second choice vote
were intended to obviate the necessit

IDAHO TAKES UGH
OUT OF SPELLING

Time is too short and too valuable
in Idaho to waste in writing any ex-
| cess, useless or surplus letters, and
the new generation is to be taught
to drop the letters ugh" and to re-
gard them as superfluous and alto
gether waste of time, ink and en-
ergy.
This is official and is sanctioned
by the state department of education,
and all Idaho blue-backed spoilers
in the future will spell through"
as thru" and though" as tho"
In other words, Idaho is to adopt
simplified spelling and will make life
easier for the child learning to SPELL
and things easier for the grown-ups
j who have learned to spell and to
whom time is too precious to devote
to writing lot of letters not needed.
The following bulletin has been
issued by the state board of educa-
ton and it gives an idea of what
may be expected in the future In the
way of simplified spelling:
Ugh has caused the waste of
gallons of ink and millions OF min
utes of time by its needless presence
in such words as through" and
though" to say nothing of the stu
pid and burdensome task of learning
to spell simple word in so foolish
a fashion. This is only one OF the
many useless and tiresome speliings
each a trifle in itself, but really a
burden on childhood.
Idaho is getting rid Of the com
monest and most useless of these ex-
ira letters. Some months ago the
state hoard of education authorized
the use of certain simplified forms,
and the board required the publish
ers of the new spelling books to in
clude the Idaho list of simplified
spellings as follows:
Use the following spellings for
these words and their compounds
and derivatives; tho, altho, thoro
thru, rhine, draft and sulfur.
In all words where there is choice
between
l. The diphthong @ and the VOW
Ell e. use 9: esthetic, medieval, etc.
2. Final cite and ct, use ct quar-.
tet.
8. Final mme and m, use m
program, telegram, etc.
A. Final II and |, use /: fulfil.
5. Final lines, use lness: fulness
dulness. etc
6. Final llful and lful, use lful:
skilful. joyful. etc.
Z. Final Sc and re, use re: econ.
omize, analyze. etc.
s. Final logue and log, Use log:
