is necessary.
~ If this was the only objection to be
raised against the rotten and unsight
ly hulk which Dawson calls its§ school
building the remedy would be imme
diately forthcoming, as it would be
only necessary to replace the plaster
ing with ceiling. Butsuch is not the
case. The building is made up of de
ficiencies. It is not necessary to
enumerate them; they are known to
all who have in recent years visited
thesschools.
~ The building has been patched re
‘ peatedly, and more patching will only
‘be a waste of.money. What then is to
‘be done ? The question is answered
by an article which.-appeared in a re

~ Policeman Miles Hill had rather an
-exciting experience with Clarence
}Claybon Thursday. It seems that Clay
ton had been drinking and was trying
\ to pick a row with ancther negro when
the officer decided to put him under
arrest. 'Lhe ne2ro saw Policeman Hill
co.ning and at once took to flicht. The
officer fired at the fleeing ‘‘chocolate
}drop” (not too close to hithim)but this
seemed to add renewed energy to his
speed.
The policeman, after running three
blocks, finally overtook fthe fugitive,
when Clayton pulled out his pistol and
dared the officer to take him. The
policeman’s revolver was also brought
into action, and the neero was forced
to drop his upon the ground. He wasl
then taken to the guard house without
further resistance. |
At a trial before Mayor Lowrey the
following morning he was fined ten
dollars for disorderly conduet, and
bound over under a $5O bond to the
city court. He gave the bond. |
