OF SPECIAL INTEREST
CONCERNING SCHOOLS
Montgomery County Pupils
In Public Schools May
Continue at 8.-P. I.
It is probably not generally
known to parents and guardians
having children in the public
schools of Montgomery county
that the children may continue
to draw money from the state
school fund to pay tuition, after
they have completed the seventh
grade, where, originally, the
Btate ceased to aid them. This is
under a new rule which was re
cently adopted by the state school
authorities, whereby the pupil
may continue in the higher
branches until 18 years of age
and the state will pay for such
tuition.
Os course this rule applies only
up to 18 years of age and only
where the higher grades are
taught in schools in the pupil’s
own county. So, any common
school pupil, who has passed the
seventh grade, may take up the
higher branches and the expense
of tuition will be paid by the
state. For instance, any pupil
who has finished the seventh
grade, or the former limit of the
common school grades, may con
tinue as a high school pupil in the
Brewton-Parker Institute until
18 years of age, tuition paid by
the state.
Furthermore, a pupil from any
school in the county where the
higher branches are not taught,
may, by permission of the Coun
ty Hoard of Education, continue
at the Brewton-Parker Institute
on payment of board and per
haps incidentals. To be explicit,
the regular fall term of the In
stitute will begin in September,
but the public school fund does
not apply until about November
first, when the state will begin
to pay the tuition. Considering
the nearness to home and the
cheapness of board at the big
home school, Montgomery county
people will probably investigate
this matter at once and profit by
this information which we cheer
fully impart.
Entirely Too Practical.
They were talking about won
derful theories the other after
noon when Congressman Forrest (
Goodwin of Maine, was reminded
how a practical wife smeared,
with prosaic whitewash a beauti- j
fully painted dream, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph.
One evening, so related the
congressman, father sat in a
comfortable chair reading his fa
vorite newspaper, while close by
was mother dexterously working
a darning needle. Suddenly dad
uttered an exclamation ofsui
prise.
"What do you think of that?”
he cried, momentarily glancing
up from his paper. "It is the
most marvelously stupendous
thing 1 ever heard of.”
"What is it?” responded wife.v
with a questioning look at the
old man.
"This paper says,” answered
father, "that a professor lias fig
ured it out that the sea could
easily lx* pumped dry in 12,000,000
years at the rate of 1,000 gallons
a second.
For a moment mother was
deeply buried in thought. Finally
she turned to the lord and mas
ter.
"Say, Henry,” she quietly re
marked, "where would they put
all the water?”
World's Greatest Port.
New York has supplanted Gui
don as the greatest port in the
world. For the fiscal year end
ing June 80th its imports and
exports were valued at $1,978.-
981,688, almost $200,000,000
more than those of London. The
next busiest jKirts of the world
are, in order: Hamburg, Liver
pool. Antwerp. Marseilles, Hav
re, Bremen. Buenos Aires, and
Calcutta. New York alone car
ries on more than five times as
much commerce as the whole
United States had fifty years
ago. Youth’s Companion,

, | If you don’t like it in the Unit
' ed States this summer go to
Aden. Ed Howe has lately been
5 there, and the following are
some of the pleasant things he
says of the place:
V "At 9 o’clock this evening we
s came to Aden, in Arabia, said to
c ' lie the hottest town in the world.
y
Every drop of water used there
is condensed from the sea, al
though there is a white popula
( tion of 2,000, including English
soldiers, and an Arab population
of 40,000. There is a tradition
that rain fell at Aden three years
I ago, and that every roof in town
I leaked, but. previous to that time
. no rain had fallen in the town or
its vicinity for many years; many
j of its elderly citizens had never
seen a rainstorm, and lookd with
wonder upon the one which fell
three years ago. A gentleman
who lives at Aden says he pays 1
S2O a month for water, which is
| delivered at his door in tanks 1
drawn by camels. Some of the
numerous shops in Aden sell
nothing but condensed and hot- J
tied water, and the price in f
I quantity is usually a dollar per ‘
j hundred gallons. Many years
| ago great tanks were built at :
Aden to catch the precious rain
fall, but these have not been in
i
use for many years, although
tourists usually visit them.”
The Man and the Machine. >
In some parts of the South the 1
negro labor is uncertain, and,
therefore, it is all the more nec- (
essary to supplement this uncer
tain labor with the certain labor j
of mechanical devices, with
which one man can do the work j
of from three to five. Having t
these machines, you will select
the best laborer out of a had lot,
and you will get better results
out of your investment in farm
implements.
You cannot get away from the
fact that this is a mechanical
age, and that the man who is
able to avail himself of most of
these mechanical aids will make <:
the most, profit. Master the ma- 1
chine yourself, and then you will, f
know whether any piece of this 1
machinery is properly handled. *
You can alTord to pay better ‘
wages to a man who can handle !l
farm implements properly, and
’ who will take care of them care- l
fully, than you can alford to pay
: poor wages for a score of oncer- I
! tain laborers. —Home & Farm.
Breaks Round-the-world
Record By three Days. o
John Henry Mears of Chicago, r
the special commissioner of a
New York newspaper, who left a
New York early in July on a trip t
around the world, arrived in c
New York the other night with a '
record that beats by 8 days, 22 |
hours, 7 minutes and 87 seconds 1
tin* best previous time for such a
journey. The former record held
by Andre Jaerger-Schmidt of
Baris was 89 days, 19 hours, 42
j minutes and 87 4-5 seconds.
I Mears’ time was 85 days. 21 :
hours, 85 minutes and four-fifths t
I of a second. He was behind his
, schedule by four-fifths of a sec
. ond. This time was lost in get- 1
ting through the crowd of friends ;
. and admirers that surrounded I
him as lie left the Grand Central i
terminal.

Fine Trout Are Caught
In Numbers At Mill.
The drawing off of water at; i
Brown’s Mill, east of Americas,
is affording lazy fishermen fine |
’ opportunity for getting all the!
. fish they want, and without the
1 labor of having to bait a hook, j
The pond covers fifty acres and
1 is filled with every variety of fine (
j fish. The receding waters have
. left numbers of fish in deep holes
in the pond and these are seized
1 or picked up by the disciples of
Isaac Walton. Several trout
j brought in yesterday weighed

The minute a tooth begins to I

time to treat a tooth is the min

to keep posted on the condition
