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.

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.

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.
