Notice to Teachers.

The last legislature placed mus
ic and drawing upon the list of
required subjects to be taught in
our public schools. These sub
'jects will be included in the mex
examination. Supt. Sheriff. pro-
misses the examination in these
subjecte will be very easy this
time. but will gradually grow
more difficult as the teachers have
time to prepare themselves on
these subjects.
There viii be no examination
on the Reading Circle books, but
there will be a professional ex.
animation as prescribed by law.
While this examination will not
be technically based upon the
adopted Reading Circle books.
The subjects treated in these
books. Agriculture for Southern
Schools" and School Efficiency"
are SO essential would udvise a
study of these books. Yet, Supt.
Sheriff. says. any one with pro-
'fessional judgment to teach
school should be APPLE to answer
the questions whether he has
read the books or not"

CHANCELLORS' RACE GET
ting WARM.
Camps Manager Cl aim S
Strong Lead For White
County Candidate.

The contest for the democrrtic
nomination for Chancellor OF the
Fourth Division is attracting
more and more attention as the
date Of the primary draws near
er. Mr. Sam Jared, Jr., cam
paign manager for the Hon. Har-
ry Camp, in discussing the situ-
alton to-day, stated that reports
coming into headquarters from
all parts of the Division indicate
a sweeping victory for Mr.. Camp.
One of the best informed public
men in Putnam county stated a
few days ago that it appeared to
him that the politicians, at least
a number of them, were against
Mr.. Camp, while the people gen.
orally were for him. Mr.. Jared
states that this is the condition
prevailing generally throughout
the Division.
Continuing, Mr.. Jared said;
Il notice that General Officer, is
sending out as a campaign docu-
ment an editorial credited to the
Livingston Enterprise, which
paper is virtually owned and con-
troled by Gen. Officer himself.
In this editorial of his own pa
per Mr.. Officer complains that he
has served the public for sixteen
years as Attorney General at a
financial sacrifice. His paper
says of him that he is a lawyer
of such unusual ability that by
serving private clients instead of
the public, he could have earned
much larger financial rewards.
This is rather remarkable state
ment in view of the fact that
his salary as Attorney General
has never been less than S2500
per year, which salary has been
largely increased in recent years.
and in view of the further fact
that the State has employed and
paid an assistant Attorney Gen
eral who has performed a large
part of the work of the Office.
and in view of the further fact
that am reliably informed that
for the past several years Gener-
al Officer has devoted large
part of his time to private prac-
tice. Notwithstanding the fact
that his time belonged to the
public. which was paying not
only him but an assistant. as
well. Il is well known that Gen
cral Officer has attended his
court in Jackson county only n
very few times in the last seven
years. He is also almost a stran-
ger to his court in Cumberland
county. | am told that his at
tendance upon the courts in Il
number of other counties have
been very irregular. while the re
cords of the Civil Courts in Over
ton and surrounding counties
will show that he has enjoyed Il
very lucrative private practice. "
"Mr. Camps character and
qualificationS'are vOuched for by
all who know him. He has ncv-
er held public office and there is
n strong and growing sentiment
against retaining one man in
office a lifetime 10 the exclusion
of all worthy and competent
men. Every indication points t.
an overwhelming victory for Mr..
Camp in the primary to he held
