ON BONO ISSUE
Clarendon Citizens Fight $780,

dale Backs Plan.

CLARENDON. Va. Dec. ia bit.
ter fight has developed in various sec
tions> of the county In regard to the
$500. 900 bond issue for the erection Of
new schools and additions to present
buildings, az proposed by the ArlirR.
ton county chamber OF commerce.
At the regular meeting of the Clar.
endon Citizens Association. the
scheme. whereby the Arlington and
Washington districts Of the county
would bear the load of taxation in con.
nection. with the proposed issue. was
denounced and the members voted to
oppose 1t.
The Cherrydale Parent Teachers
Association, however. voted to back
the proposal to the limit. In Cherry
dale. 205 pupils are receiving only
half day instruction. owing to the con
gested conditions Of schoolrooms. OF.
ficials point out that, as q result, onlv
fifteen and one-half weeks of schooling
is obtained out of fifty-two. County
officials also declare that the same
ratio holds good in proportion in near
iy every other district in the county.
The Cherrydale Association also
voted to favor the petition plan In Or
der to determine whether or not the
bond issue would be floated.
When the bond issue was discussed
at the Clarendon Association meeting,
members pointed out that at mars
meeting held in the courthouse some
time ago. the majority of citizens from
all parts of the county went on record
as opposed to the plan.
President Taylor, Of the association.
declared that inasmuch as the senti.
ment of the people had been fairly
manifested at the mass meeting, that
ne hoped Clarendon citizens would
never allow the plan to be forced
through the State legislature without
putting up a stiff fight.
In stating his opposition to the plan.
J. Thomas Manning declared that
there is certain competition among
various county politicians to put over
certain bond issues and that we must
watch our expenditures closely" Man.
ming also pointed out that the county
cannot float a bond issue for more
than IS per cent OF Its assessed valu
alton.
AS a result of the opposition devei.
uped at the Clarendon Association
meeting. the following petition will he
sent cut among citizens of the county.
I'VE. the undersigned residents OF
Washington district, Arlington county,
Virginia, do hereby declare our oppo
sition to the proposed bonding OK
Washington and Arlington districts to
the amount of 100000 for the con-
struction of new school buildings
This petition will be circulated in op-
position to the one sent out by the Ar.

 Once. however, we had an interest ing interruption in the visit of gaunt, white-whiskered stranger who announced himself as St. Anthony and preached the rapid coming of the mill lennium, which was to take place at Il p. m. on the seventeenth of Decem- Der. The cholos, all of them religious fanatics, immediately left the mines, and began parading the streets of the mud village, carrying lighted candles, and drinking themselves maudlin on chacta taken by force from the shops on the theory that with the destruc- tion of the world the barkeepers would lose their whole stock anyway.
 The impostor went so far as to sell admission to heaven httearte o? admission to heaven at the rate of $1 for a reserved seat and 50 centavos for standing room. Ordinarily the com pany controls such outbreaks through the local priests, to whom 1t pays regular rgratifications' for their SUD- port, as it does also to the local politi-. cal authorities. The village priest. however, happened to be out of town. Finally. after much urging, the police raided the impostor's meeting, and confiscating the box office receipts, drove the prophet out of town. After that the police had booze party of their own on the proceeds.

 W{H HEN sober, the Andean Indian w Cor cholo) is extremely docile.
 Descended from the ancient races dominated by the Incas, later kicked about by the still more domi- neering Spanish conquerors, he sinks about in a hang-dog manner, always making room for white man, to whom he raises his hat in an apologet- ic manner upon being addressed.
 When drunk, however, the same In- dian is apt to be ugly. His principal stimulant is raw rum, called chacta. brought up in kegs by tinkling burro trains from the tropical valleys on the eastern slope of the mountains. It tastes like mixture of mo1asses and alcohol, and instead of causing ex- hilaration, it merely makes the drink CT ugly. Some two years ago, in- spired by a revolution in the rest of Peru, the cholos went in a mob, to the high cliffs overlooking the gringo camp and hurled sticks of dynamite at their American bosses below. For tunately, they succeeded only in blow ing the flagpole off the manager s house.
 Drunkenness is general throughout the Andes, and the big companies pre- fer to let the natives concentrate their enjoyment of life in once-a-month debauoh rather than endure petty in- terruptions to the work at more fre-
