(IR(UITj COURT
 JANUARY TERM
Grand Jury Finds IA BilIs-8 for FeIonies. Court Sends
 3 Men to Penitentiary.

The adjourned term of the Monroe Circuit Court was held in Clarendon on Monday and Tuesday.
 The Grand Jury found II bills. 8 of which were for felo- nies.
 There were three men sent to the penitentiary-two of them the negroes, Wiley Green and Sam Lampkins, who stole hogs from Sam Hallum, farmer southwest of Brinkley, only a few weeks since. The third man was Otto Hagood, a young white boy, who had mania for getting money on forged checks, forg- ing the names of Henry Move and J. R. Vineyard to checks. He was given two years.
 An unusual procedure of the court was the instruction from Judge Clark to the Grand Jury to again go into the merits of the K. Mafouz as sassination case in Brinkley. This was the third time that this had. been handled by the Grand Jury. As in the former cases the Grand Jury found no evidence to warrant an indict- ment.
 The Jury Commissioners ap- pointed to select the jurors for the Spring Term of the Court were Geo. P. Reid, Brinkley; E. A. Skillern, Rich land; and H. B. Lynch, Clar- endon. A fine Commission and here's a guess that they have chosen a splendid set of jurors for the Spring Term.

ADULT NIGHT SCHOOL BE, GINS AT CLARENDON. COUNTY SUPT'S
 REPORT

Literature with instructions for establishing adult schools has been distributed to all white teachers of the county. gOnly one school thus far has Iopened. Prof. Forrest and his teachers opened an adult school at Clarendon Monday evening with two pupils pres lent. About fifteen had prOInis- led to enroll, but owing to the fact that the electric light plant was out of commission |and it was thought there were no lights at the school house, several remained att home who will attend from now on. Miss Richards and Miss Scott were appointed to teach the first two entering. They began work at once and at the end of an hour each had taught her pupil to write her name legibly. and to read and write the first two lessons in the text book. Other schools should be heard from soon, for every teacher at our last association promised Miss
 Luther, field agent for the il- 1 literacy commission, that a
 census would be aken in every
 districe in the county and that
 schools would be established where possible. Anyone know 1 ing of an adult who cannot
 read. write and cipher. and who i is willing to learn, should give
 the name of such person to
 the local teacher, or to the
 county superintendent and ar
 rangement will be made to give such persons free instruc- tionS.
 l The county superintendent
 has begun the rerating of the
 schools of the county. The Stevns school was given new lrating last week. The school scored 70 points, which rates it as a class "C" school. Many
 of our schools, on account ol
 poor buildings, equipment, etc will not make this class. Bu1
 we have some schools thai twill make class "A" by keep
 ing up the attendance, proyid- ing the windows with shades land organizing agriculture
 clubs and literary societies
 The superintendent will maj
 a score card to any teacher
 who desires to study the care
 with a view of making i'm
 provements before the schoo
 is rated.
