college will open on June 19th.
The Summer school this year wiil
be under the charge of Dr. E. K.
Turner, of the chair of Latin at
Emory, assisted by Prots. Good¬
year, Ilinton and Rumble.
Dr Turner is certainly well
qualified for this position and few
men of his standing in the educa
tional world would consent to take
this place but he is interested in
preparing the boys who wish to
enter Emory and tor that reason
has consented to lead the sum
mer school.
This summer course is meant to
aid those boys who wish to enter
college in the fall and who find
themselveB deficient in some of
their studies.
There are some Covington boys
who could by taking this course
enter Fresh man class next fall.

ment to Mr. Rogers, as it the first

It will be remembered that thp

Newton Superior court last Sept.
The case was to the Supreme

NEWS SUMMARY
OF THE WEEK.
Important Happenings Over The
Country Cut Short Fcr
Our Busy Readers.
Among tile many important
events of the week is the contin¬
ued agitation of the beef trust
scandal. Since the publication of
Upton Sinclair’s novel, “The Jun¬
gle,” horible stories of the Chicago
packing house methods have been
circulated, and so aroused and in¬
dignant has the public become
that the matter has been taken in
hand by the authorities at Wash¬
ington. The President has sent a
message to congress relating to the
pure food bill, and a committee
was appointed to investigate the
packing house business. The com¬
mittee completes its report, which
hn3 been made public, and con
tains disclosures which confirm
the truth of the stories previously
circulated, On June 4, the Presi¬
dent sent the report to Congress
together with the message in
which he urged the immediate en¬
actment of a law which will enable
the Department of Agriculture to
inspect all the meat and the meat
products entering into inter-state
commerce.
Immediately after the report of
the packing house committee,
Gen. Nelson A. Miles gave out a
statement that the disclosures were
nothing new to him, as he had had
experience with packing house
products in the Spanish-Americau
war. i i I believe,” said he, t < that
8,000 soldiers lost their lives be¬
cause of adulterated, impure and
poisoned meat. y ?
P One after another grafting meth¬
ods of t liV’laig business concerns of
the countr}- are coming to light.
The Pennsylvania railroad com¬
pany is the last to be placed on
the rack. It has leaked out that
many of Jts officials have been ac
cepting shares of coal mining stock
from certain companies which did
not cost them a cent, and that
favoritism shown these particular
companies, enabled them to drive
to the wall other companies not so
favored by the railroad officials.
President Cassatt of the Pennsyl¬
vania railroad company was in
Europe at the time the disclosures
came out, and at once hurried
back to the scene of the disturb¬
ance. He claims ignorance of the
conduct of his subordinates and
says that a rigid investigation will
be made. The country is watch¬
ing with great expectancy the out¬
come of the porposed investigation
While taking part in the most
gorgeous procession known in
modern times, and while on their
way to the church where their

formed, a bomb was thrown at the
king ot Spain and his bride, kill

wounding sixty. The king and
princess escaped unhurt, but some
of their attendants were killed,
The scenes after the terrific ex
plosion were horrible, and was
like that witnessed on a battlefield
Corpses, pools of blood and wreck
