30ABD ELECTS THE TEACHERS. NO VIOLATION OF LIGU0R I AW. j A SPIRITED RACE IS PROMISED.
Only One Change Is Made In the
Faculty.
The city Board o! Education held
meeting yesterday, and in view o the
fact that this was tho final sessi )n of
the current school year, and that the
entire list of teachers was to be elected,
much interest attached thereto and all
the members were present.
Aside from the election of teachors,
little business was considered.
Prof. J. E. Mathis was again elected
superintendent of the city schools,
■while Prof, A. G. Miller was elected
principal of Furlow High School
There was but one change in this
school.
Mrs. Georgo W. Brunner will again
preside over Ilees Park School, with
Mies Smith as her able and valued
assistant.
Prof. B. W. Young was eleoted
teacher of the Ninth grade in Furlow
High School, a position which has
boon ably filled by Prof. W. J. Noves
for a number of years. Prof. Noyes
many friends here will regret that ho
is not to be retained in the schools, as
b9s boon decreed.
Prof. Noyes is a ripe scholar and
able educator, and during a long rest
donee in Amoricus has made many
friends. His plans for the future have
not been formnlated.
Prof. Yonng, who will succeed Prof.
Noyes here, is a native Kentnokian,
though for a time he was principal of
Bethel College at Cnthbert. He is a
yonng man, thongh a fine disciplina
rian and very excellent teacher, com
ing highly endorsed.
With this single exception, all the
terchers in both the white and colored
sohools were re-eleoted, Prof. Staley
retaining his position as prinoipal oi
the MoKay.Hill eolored school. All
of the sohools will close Juno Oth for
the jovons summer vacation.
Tho session now drawing to a oiose
has been a very successful one indeed.
No Convictions In This Judicial Cir-
cuit in Years.
ONIONS BRINGING PAIR PROFIT.
Americas Man Shipping Them to
North and West.
Alderman H. C. Mitchell, besides
raising staple crops on his model farm
two mileB from the city, tnrned his at
tention to the sncoulent onion this
year and with satisfactory results, os
the cash returns from recent shipments
north would indicate.
And a small area] will prodneo a
stack of fine onions.
Mr. Mitchell has two acres planted
in the large white variety, many of
them the sizo of saucers in diameter
and weighing from one to one and a
half pounds.
This variety will produce from 300
to 400 bnshels per acre, Mr. Mitchell
says, aud as they bring 32 per bushel,
net, in the Western cities where ship
ments have been made, it will be seen
that his two acres will pay him very
handsomely.
Another shipment will go forward
today and this will continne while tho
crop lasts. It is, indeed, the little
things on the farm that pay.
Save Your Money.
One box of Tutt’s Pills will save
many dollars in doctors’ bills
They willsurely cureall diseases
of the stomach, liver or bowels.
No Reckless Assertion
For sick headache, dyspepsia,
malaria, constipation andbilio-
usness, a million people endorse
TUTT’S Liver PILLS
WILL PROTECT HER INTERESTS.
Citizens of Cordele Will Build Guano
Plant.
With courage to protect her com
mercial interests and defy the trnsts,
the people of Cordele have'determined
to bntld a fertilizer plant and have it
in fnil operation in time to supply the
farmers of that eeotion next year. It
is to be regretted that the same cannot
be said of the people of Ameriens, who
prefer to bny their goods in other mar
kets to manufacturing them. And
Cordele and Albany will probably sup
ply tho farmers about.Americns with
gnano next season.
A Thousand longues.
Could not express the rapturo of An
nie E. Springer, of 1125jHoward street,
Philadelphia, Pa., when she found that
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consunif-
lion liad completely cured her of a
hacking cough that for many years had
made her life a burden. All other rem
edies and doctors could give her no help,
bat she says of this Royal Cure—“it
soon removed the pain iu my chest and
I can now sleep soundly, something I
can scarcely remember doing boforo.”
I feel like sounding its praises through-
Anf ftio TTnlvartA " tfn will flvorv

who tries Dr. King’s New Discovery for
any trouble of Throat, Chest or Lungs.

The downcast heart, finds uplift by
bending the knees.
There are numerous “dry” counties
in southwestern Georgia, Sumter
among them, and the fuct that the lo
cal option laws have not been violated
(presumably) is a matter of much con'
gratuiation among those favoring pro
hibition.
And this information comes from
very excellent authority.
Of course hundreds of cases of alleged
violation of this law have been docket
ed, bnt it was an instance whore
“many are called but few are chosen.”
Even here in Ameriens the Ipolice
have nabbod a score of people whose
pet was supposed to be a sightless
tiger, bnt it is a fact that not one of
the defendants tried was) convicted.
Nnmerons cases still crowd the dock
et, and thoso will oome np for u bear
ing at some future time.
As a matter of course the parties tried
for alleged violation of the liquor laws
Voro inncoont thereof, else the jury
would not have turned them loose.
Jndge Z. A. Littlejohn was speaking
npon the subject a day or two ago.
“It is a foot” said be “that daring a
period of nearly five years since I went
npon the circuit bench I have never
yet seen anyone oonvicted of the oharge
of selling whiskey illegally, thongh
cases have been tried before mo."
This applies not only to Sumter bat
to dozens of connties where Jndge
Littlejobn bus prosidedat [eonrt.
Allot of which goos to prove that
people are not bad at all, and especially
would they scont the idea of violating
our “model” prohibition laws.
ARE YOU PLUMP

One is health; the other is
not-quite health.
This condition of not-quite
health can be turned into
health with Scott’s emulsion of
cod-liver oil.
It isa pity to get in the hab
it of thinking of health as a
thing to be hoped for; why not
go for it now I
There is only one way to
make strength: by food. You
want appetite first, then food,
The emulsion will give you
food-rest, to master your food
with.

For Any Vacancy In the Aldermanic
Board Here.
As the Times Recorder stated on
Thursday, Mr. J. E. Cameron, master
car bailder at the Seaboard Railway
shops in Americas, will be transferred
to the company’s shops at Portsmouth
very shortly, probably within a few
days.
.Mr. Cameron’s departure hence will
be groatly regretted.
Aside from losing a good citizen Mr.
Cameron’s departure will necessitate a
city eleotion, he being a member of
the present aldermanio hoard.
Mr. Cameron was elected a member
of connoil in December last for a term
of two years, and^bis successor will
have to serve the nnexpired term of
eighteen or nineteen months. Who
his successor will be ie a matter of in
terest now.
The position will not go begging;
no pnblio office in Ameriens ever did
that or ever .will hereafter.
Already, it is said, several aspirants
are patting themselves in line to be
prevailed (?) npon by their friends to
offer for the coveted honor.
It has been suggested that, inas
much as three aldermen ore - to bo
ohosen again in Novembor next, that
the present board work along with
five mombeis, as a jury sometimes
does with eleven when one is taken
suddenly ill.
But the “onts” who want to get in
might objeot to this plan.
Alderman Cameron has not yet even
tendered his resignation to oonneil,
bnt there aro several hero who will
know it the moment ho does.
A^Superb Grip Cure.

“Doodle” us Xutlutiai Anthem.
London, May 23. — “We trust iu
Scottish pride to rise in its wrath against
this invasion of the almighty dollar,”
says The Iteviow of the Week, com
menting on Andrew Carnegie's munifi
cence to Scotland’s universities. “Many
of the oldest and best families in Scot
land,” continues the periodical, "at
tend the universities and pay tho fees,
and lovo the sous of their humblest
neighbors neither more nor less. Bat
is It to be believed this will continne if
they are to ba paid for by Mr. Carnegie?
Imagine tho Dnke of Hamilton, Came
ron of Lochiel, or MacDonald of the
Isles allowing his heir to get education
at the cost of an American ironmonger.
We shall next hear of some Chicago
pork packer proposing to buy up Oxford
and Cambridge and dictate the admis
sion and subjects to be tanght; or Boss
Croker forming a lobby to control the
London milversity, with the object of
inculcating Tammany principles in the
mind of the rising generation of cock
neys."
The Bright Side.
The St. James Gazcfte, in an edito
rial headed “The Anglo-Saxon Millen
ium, ” commenting on “The Pessimism
of Yankee Doodle,” suggests that it be
made tho national anthem, that the
American language bo made compulso
ry in the schools, and that the corona
tion of J. Pierpont Morgan ba arranged
for June or July next, says:
“Bat there is a bright side of the
Americanization of this insignificant
country. It ought to make war impos
sible. How can the patriotio American
suffer from Anglophobia when he loves
England so much that he wants to be
her owner? How could he sink tho
merchant ships iu which his own mon
ey is invested? War would ruin his in
dustries, stage, proas and locoinotivo
companies, philanthropic senemes, aris
tocracy, raco riding, in fact, every
thing except our agriculture, which has
ceased to exist.”

Practical Farmer tells a story
runs about thus:
A inau who had just sold a drove cl
flue shoats and made a good p ro j,.
the transaction, on his way home met,
neighbor who complained that a farmer
could not make any money and tin
raising hogs for the market was a 0i .
ing business, adding that he would UV,
to dispose of those that he had. p atlI
No. 1 bought the hogs and also , 0B ,
corn of the same man, asking for tj m#
In which to make his payment. After
tbreo months he sold this second dror*
of shoats, and after paying hii neigh-
bor showed him how much money hs
had cleared by the transaction.
The farmer who had sold his corn
and hogs in separate lots was this
taught a valuable lesson by his more en
terprising neighbor.—State Agricnltnral

Tile Care of Bees.
Many farmers keep bees and pay con.
stderable attention to them. Then in
dustrious little inscots have been th*
theme of philosophers and poets from
the earliest ages of the world until now.
Their habits have beeu carefully stud,
ied aud many interesting things hsv*
been written about them.
While it is true, as a recent writer
has said, that bees “will come as near
doing some good with scarcely any at
tention ns anything we may handle,"
thoy will pay better with proper atten
tion. If we want abundance of good
honey we must 6ee that they have in
their hives abundance of stores for th*
spring months. Feed then, well in tb*
early spring, if thoy have not already n
good reserve In their combs. A pound
of sngar fed to them at this time will
paovo a good investment.—State Agri
