COUNTY COURT.

The Honorable County Court met
in regular session on January End,
1922, with Judge Jno. A. Jones pre-
siding, and S. H. Jestes, Clerk, and
about, 20 ]. P's, The session was
taken up largely with the routine
business. Two of the very import
ant matters brought before the court
were the reports of the Superintend-
ent Of Roads and the Superintend-
ent of the Schools. The report of
the Superintendent of Roads was
comprehensive and complete in
every way. It showed the number
of individual road receipts issued
for the year 1921, and the number
of team tax receipts issued for the
same year.
Thereport of the Superintendent
of Schools gave the amount of.mon,
eysspent for teachers salaries, and
for all other purposes from July 1st
to December 3lst, 1921, This re-
port showed that the schools were
in splendid shape, better than any
year before, that there are more
teachers with first grade.certifcates
than ever before, and more high
school graduates than eyer before. !
That there are more than 10 high
school pupils in the county this year
which is more than the county has
had at any time in the past. The
schools as a whole are doing well
and are making rapid progress.

Possibility that William Joseph Sim

PIRATES CAVE WON u. s. A.
"a LIGHTHOUSE

Washington, Nov. ga tale of a
stornswept rock in the Caribbean Sea
of its Resistance to mans efforts to
place upon it a becan-light and of how
fortunate discovery of a pirates
cave" finally enabled man to conquer
it, is told by the Bureau of Lighthouse
es Of the Department Of Commerce
here.
The rock is Sail Rock, named for
its resemblance to a full-rigged
schooner. 1t is in the Virgin Passage,
between the islands of Culebra and
st. Thomas, near Uncle Sans latest
colonial possessions, the Virgin Is
lands. Because it was a constant
menace to navigation, installation of
light upon it was decided upon by
the Bureau of Navigation.
The first visit of the lighthouse ten
ders revealed the magnitude Of the
task. The rock, rising 125 feet above
the sea, was surrounded by forbidding
cliffs. Behind the cliffs lay a narrow
level shelf, which Immediately gave
way to sheer S0-foot rise to the
summit. First attempts at landing
and scaling failed. Finally a man
did get on shore, but reported opera
tions out of the question.
Cruising once more around the is
land in the forlorn hope of finding a
possible landing place, officers Of the
tender were Rstonished to discover a
hitherto unnoticed bay that led to Il
wide and deep cave apparently eX-
tending into the interior Of the rock.
Exploration revealed the unbelievable
good fortune that the cave had an out
let onto the shelf behind the steep
behind the steep-shored cliffs.
Favored by good weather, opera
tions commenced. Materials were
landed and transported to the upper
reaches of the rock through the cave
and it's outlet. A determined effort
conquered the S0-fdot precipice and q
level spot was made on its summit.
Work progressed and concrete plat
form was cast and hoisted to the top
and made fast. When bad weather
hindered, work stopred. The lantern
was finally installed.
Gas for its operation was provided
in a large tank located in the PR
ate's cave" Pipes were laid through
the hole in its roof and let to the
summit over the barren rock.
Sail Rock now has its light. No
longer does it confront mariners on
dark nights with its grim menace.
And but for the determined toll OF
Uncle Sans lighthouse men it might
vet to be taking its toll Of craft
