A BILIOUS ATTACK.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
lions. YOU become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stomach
instead of digesting. This inflames
the stomach and causes nausea, vom-
iting and a terrible headache. Take
Chamberlain Tablets. They will
tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as we'll
as ever. They only cost quarter.

Institutes in other counties have
been unusually good this year and
the attendance better than ever be-
fore. The very high price of farm
products have stimulated farmers to
new endeavOrs and they are looking
into all corners for means for greater
production. No doubt the farmers
and business men of Carroll county
are no exception to the rule and will
turn out in large numbers to hear the
speakers at the Institutes Just
whom the speakers will be and what
subjects they will discuss has not
been definitely arranged but will be
published next week.
The movable school at Taneytown
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week was not as we'll attended
as expected, but the twenty or thirty
who did attend constantly, expressed
themselves as very we'll satisfied with
the instruction given by professors
Temple and Kemp of the State Col
lege and the only criticism that any
one had to offer was that the school
did not last long enough. Taneytown
IS assured of school next winter for
those who braVed the weather to at
tend can be trusted to see to it that a
movable school becomes an annual
affair with them for when a farmer
learns that someone has something
worth while that belongs to him he is
pretty sure to get it. The patrons of
the school elected three of their
members to represent their section on
the County Agent Advisory Committee
and judging from the character of the
men elected District No. 1 will claim
its share of the County Agents atten-
tlon. 1t is to be regretted that the
efforts to organize a Boys Agricul-
tural Club at Taneytown were in vain
for such a prosperous farming section
should have something to turn the at
tentlon of its young men to the op-
portunltleS of the farm at the present
time. In point of numbers the BOYS
Club at Westminster is ahead so far,
the membership being sixty.

WHIPPED PUPIL
A Public School Teacher Arrested
For Assault And Battery.

On Saturday last at Sykesville the
case of the State of Maryland against
Miss Margaret A. Carter, was tried
before Justice of the Peace Anderson
and Justice Muskgrove sitting with
him by the consent of both sides.
The State was represented by States
Attorney Seabrook, and the defendant
by Mr.. Charles o. Clemson.
The question involved was the very
much discussed, and very much mis-
understood one, as to whether puD-
lie school teacher has a right to ad-
minister to a child, who is a pupil
under her charge, any chastisement in
the nature of corporal punishment
for disobedience. Both the States
and the defendants attorneys agreed
that the law governing the case was
that unless there is some statute pro-
hibiting corporal punishment in the
schools, the general principles, which
have been decided in a great many of
the States, apply that a teacher
standing in loco PARENTS has the
right to inflict corporal punishment
and to chastise a child for disobedi-
ence for the sake, not only of the
punishment of the child, but for the
VI luG SCuOOl. Certainly
it is unquestionably the law in the
State Of Maryland, that the teacher
has the right to chastise the child in
a proper way.
The Carter case grew out of the ar
rest Of Miss Carter on a warrant
sworn out by VIM. H. Bennett, a citizen
Of Sykesville, whose son, Vernon, had
been disobedient at school and had
been whipped by Miss Carter, the
principal. The facts showed that
Miss Carter was clearly within her
rights in chastising the Bennett boy
and that the punishment that she ad
ministered to him was reasonable and
proper under the circumstances. 1t
developed that the switch had hit the
boys cheek and ear, which was
shown to be entirely unintentional on
the part of the teacher.
A great many witnesses were sum-
moned on both sides, teachers and
students, and the case was very thor
oughIy tried. The finding of the
Justice of the Peace was a verdict of
not guilty Superintendent Unger,
of the County Schools, was present at
the trial, and had notes made of the
case.
1t is to be hoped that the misun-
derstanding that is current in some
parts of the county concerning the
rights Of public school teachers in
the matter of proper chastisement of
pupils under their care, may be the
better understood as a result of this
trial. 1t developed that in this par
ticular instance, as a result of which
Miss Carter was arrested, that there
had been no effort on the part of the
parents of the offending pupil to
speak to the teacher or to understand
her side of the case, and that the war
rant was sworn out entirely on the
information given by the pupil which
information was shown to have been
very much exaggerated.
