A Communication in The Moultrie
servir About a Difficulty
In tin last Lsue of the
Observer appeared an
signed by N. L. Bush, of Guest,
in which an attempt is made to
show that Messrs. A. A. Parrish,
J. K. Aver# ami Waller l’arrisli
«ere reap,unit,le tor the trouble
wa.eh ... was recently had , betvee.n
the form «r gentleman ami J. L.
Bell at that place, the writer in-
timating that Bell was attacked
for no cause whatever.
it is Inrdly necessary to say
that the people here where
Messrs. Parrish and M*. Avera
have lived alt their lives do not
believe there i« one word of truth
in the article. All of the gentle-
man are known as peace iblo and
law-abiding and it is hardly pos
sojle that they have so soon ue-
velojied into such beings as Bush
would have it appear. The ac¬
count of the trouble is reported
in a former issue of the News is
doubtless correct iu erery partic¬
ular. Messrs. Avera and Walter
Parrish were not in the difficulty
at ail. The trouble was between
Mr. A. A. Parrish m:d Bcdl and
Parker.
Parker is tne eye-witness whom
push introduces. Parker is the
in in who returned with Bell aud
renewed the diffiieiiltv. Bush,
who wrote the article, and his
father, formerly worked in the
turpentine business at Guest, but
their services had been dispensed
with.
Mr. I'amsh has the confidence
of the people here, ns has been
evidenced by his having been
mayor and councilman here for
several terms, lie is yet a e.ti-
zen of Adel and a member *>f the
city council, having led the tick¬
et at the last election.
Trashy Averted.
“Jtut to nick of tune our
little boy whs saved” writes
W, Watkins of Pleasant City,
Ohio. “Pm-umonia had played
sail havoc with him and a ter/i-
l>le cough set in besides. Doctor*
treated him, but he grew worse
every day. At length we tried
Dr. King's New Discovery ter
Consumption, and our darling
was saved. He’s now sound, and
well. ' Everybody-ought to know
it’s the only sur* cure for Coughs

MERRITT WRITES LETTER.
Atlanta, Gu. March 12, 1904.
To the County School Com mi®-
sioner:
In m inv counties of the state
the present session of the common
schools will close the latter pari
ti,is u,ont! ‘. The progress of
sc, "’° l " urk Your county nhould
b " *"£!*“ i ".‘' e ‘ ail
as possible. I lie patrons and nth-
cr citizens would like to have
some report of the results of the
teachings in each of our county
schools. and a comparative state¬
ment showing which counties are
making the most creditable pro¬
gress in educational work.
Fur the purpose of indicating
tliis progress and results of your
teachers works, L will send exam¬
ination questions to you this week
for every pupil who has been en¬
rolled during the term in the
fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh
grades. Please urge teachers to
conduct the examination on the
24th, mst., in acc< rdandaiiCH with
the instructions, and send reports
of the examinations t<» you
promptly. Specimens of the ex-
iitmnation papers might aecotn-
panv the report. All papers
written by the seventh
should be sent to the office of the
county school commissioner that
he may approve the grading.
To the pup’ls of ihe seventh
grade whose averaging standing
in the examination is 80 par cent
or higher, and whose standing ,n
all studies is not below 60 per
cent, will be entitled to a certifi¬
cate indicating that they have
satisfactorily completed the com¬
mon school course.
The usual summer examination
of applicants for licenses to tench
will bo liehl on the 17th and 18th
of June. I suggest that teachers
study as a basis for this examina¬
tion the following: Page’s The¬
ory and Practice of Teaching,
Roark’s Methods in Education,
some history of education, the
common school books adopted by
the state school commission, and
some special topics to be an¬
nounced a few du\s l ater for study
in the annual institutes. These
special topics will be largely bused
on the common school books. A
few authors whose selections ap¬
pear in the Lee reu ier, will be
studied each year. In the annual
institute of this year I will sug¬
gest special study of the writings
of Lonfellow, Irving, Scoff, mu-
cauley and Grady.
In nearly every county it has
been necessary to hold one, or
several special examinations.
M i :V ot the schools ivtiiisc teach¬
ers d<> not l-uve opum-funitv to
take the June examination-, be¬
gin in January. For the conven¬
ience of these teachers and of the
county school commissioners, I
will give another general exam i-
nation December the. 16th and
17th.
More topics have been
added to the exa niMifttion
in recent years, and it is
too hard on the teachers to write
creditable papers on all topics in
One day. All other states iu this
section give two or three days for
the examination of teachers.

you this year, illustrated charts

LONGER COURT TERMS.
Colquitt and Hcrrlcn to Have Two
Weeks Session.
At the next session of the legis¬
lature an effort will be made td
have the dates changed fur the
regular Setting of Superior court
in Cohjuitt and Berrien counties.
This object of the change will be
to make it possible to continue
the session of the court over into
the second week, when there is
more business than can be trans¬
acted in one week, Under the
present arrangement of dates for
holding court this cannot be
done.
There is a great deal of lUflPi
tion in Berrien and Colquitt and
it has reached the point where ad¬
journed terms have to be fre¬
quently held to catch up with
business. Ii is not expected that
there will he any objection to the
proposed cl ar.ge o' the court cal¬
endar.—Thotmisville Tiines-En-
