Believe Proposal Is Waste Of
Public Funds-Action of
Commissioners Final.

The District Commissioners to-
day declined to approve an appro-
priation to establish a beauty cul-
ture course in the o street voca-
tional school for colored girls, as
IN uniting use of public funds.
The question Of teaching col
ered pupils of the District schools
how to make a venus out of a Me-
dusa was threshed out at a recent
meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton. The board voted for the
course, thereby backing up the ap-
peal of Superintendent Frank W.
Ballou for the necessary expendi-
lures.
Irony by johnson.
The course first came to public
notice when Superintendent Ballou
had something like a disagreement
with the Commissioners, who had
called him in to explain requested

pulchritude.

Suddenly she started back behind
the curtains. Wilton was passing on
the other side of the road. He held
his head high, yet he walked like a
man who was broken.

was full Of pity for him, for his quix-
otto dreams, his foolish faithfulness to

"She won't. And II she did, and

"What do you mean?" asked Kitty

Big Muskeg was spanned. And, on
the strength of that, Wilton believed
the time had come to give Joe's secret
to the world He would publish far
and wide the secret of the wheat
lands. He would establish sufficient
confidence in the line to make the
raising of a loan a possibility.
Before leaving he placed a night
guard on duty over the office, and ar
ranged with Andersen to have three
or four reliable men on watch In the
event of the laborers attempting to
cross the portage. He went to Clayton
and laid his statement before a d.
rectors' meeting. They heard him in
frigid silence.
That's an old story" said Curtis,

An angry wrangle followed, which
led nowhere. They fatty refused to
spend any money on advertising. All
the while, Phayre, leaning back in his
chair, looked on and took no part In
the proceedings.
ut comes to this" said Curtis final
ly, humping the table theoretically.
"We'n have to increase our capital.
The delay has eaten into our reserves.
Wen have to push straight toward
our objective, the Transcontinental.
Then Wen have the monopoly Of a
steady fighting business"
He could not get them to listen to
the story of the wheat lands. Wilton
wanted to advertise 1t widely, to open
1t up to homesteaders. He had plans
for elevators. But the directors, who
resented Kitty's control, were dead
against him, and he got no thanks for
what he had done.
The following morning the Sentinel
-Phayre's paper-came out with
cartoon showing widow dropping her
mite into bottomless pail marked
"Missatibi," which boiled over q slow
fire of wheat stalks.
Somebody had betrayed the secret,
thus forewarning Bowyer and enabling
him to open his campaign to deride it.
But Wilton would not open His mind
to suspicion.
He took counsel with Jim Belts.
The old man was frankly pessimistic.

This was one of the worst blows
that had fallen. If Belts had lost
faith, who would have kept it7 He
understood the allusion to Kitty. Belts
thought he was in love with her. Then
so must other people.
He was due at the court that day,
and gave his evidence. The half

the penitentiary-a light sentence, on
the jury's recommendation. Afterward
Wilton had talk with Quain.
The two men had sullenly refused

 The negro described the fight which resulted in the boys death after being confined in the negro sec tion here. He made the statement that the white boy ran into him, ard later struck him in the face, and that he cut him in the fight.
 Excitement is said to have been intense in Gadsden following the death of the white boy, who lived 30 minutes after being cut, and Eto- wah county officials hurried the ne gro here for safekeeping
