They Exonerate Marion.
In response to a summons from the
aV or aud council of the city of Gaines
ville Prof. J. W. Marion, superintend
ent of the public schools, appeared be
fore the body on the evening of the
feTth- ultimo, to explain the purchase
hf an apparatus from The Crowell Ap
paratus Co., of Indianapolis, Indiana,
tnd the execution of two notes given
| n payment therefor and he. having
I ally explained the whole transaction
o the entire satisfaction of said may-
, r and council and it being the desire
,f said body to do full and ample' jus-,

mm
' V
tointed the undersigned a committee
,o report on the same for publication
In order that any impression that has
boDe out through the public print
kvhich might be construed to be a
Stricture upon the conduct of Prof,
jlarion in this matter may be cor
rected.
Before the mayor and council it was*
clearly demonstrated by Prof. Marion
that his action in purchasing the Ap
paratus from The Crowell Apparatus
Co. was in the line of his duty as su
perintendent of the public schools and
that said purchase was . authorized by
the Board of Education of the city of
Jainesvilie.
We unhesitatingly say that in the
opinion of the mayor and council Prof.
Marion has acted in perfect honesty
and good faith in making said purchase
and deserves no censure for his con
duct in this transaction.
While not germane to the pur
poses of this report, we desire to ex
press our appeciation of Prof. Marion’s
very efficient work in behalf of the ed
ucational interests of our growing city
and express the hope that from an ed
ucational standpoint the “Queen City
of the Mountains” may take on new
life and move onward and upward to
higher attitudes of glory and great
ness. Respectfully submitted,

Deafness Cannot be Cured.
by local applications as thev cannot
! reach the diseased portion of the ear.
there is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional reme
dies. Deafness is caused by an m-
i flamed condition of the mucous lining
I of the Eustachian Tube. When this
(tube is inflamed you have a- rumbling
j sound or imperfect hearing, and when
litis entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
f suit, and unless the inflamation can be
j taken out and this tube restored to its
[normal condition, hearing will be des
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
|aie caused by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
I mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any ease of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, Send for circulars, free.

tion acceptably a number of years ago

support of all his friends.
Mr. F. M, Tumlin is a candidate for
re-election for the office .of County
Treasurer. He has only served the
people one term as Treasurer, and his
services appear to be so satisfactory
that he will likely have no opposition.
As long as he holds this office the peo
ple know every cent that passes
through his hands will be accounted
for.
Mr. Thomas M. Bell, who has devo t-
ed his time and talents to the office of
clerk of the superior court for three

he has saved the tax payers of the
county many a dollar, is offering for
re-election, As a prominent lawyer

tigate a record. ”
Mr. Mitchell W. White announces as
a candidate for election for Tax Receiv
er. He is competent to fill the office
and is in every way worthy of support.
He will get out among the people be
tween now and the primary and will
make it lively for his opponents. Mr.
White lives in Wilson’s district.
“Uncle Andy” Mundy is in ; the race

knows him and he ’ has hundreds of

SPONGE FISHING.
Beyond a Depth of Fifty Feet They
Most Be Got by Divers.
The sponge is an animal and not a
vegetable, as some state. It breathes,
eats and, when in the water, is filled
with mucus. The sponge in its famil
iar state is only a carcass. Sponges
are known to grow at a depth of 200
feet and live even deeper, doubtless.
At the depth of fifty feet they can be
forked by an expert fisher, but at a
greater depth they must be got by
diving.
Sponge fishers use a glass by which
sponges can be seen growing on the
bottom. The instrument is In the na
ture of a pall with a glass bottom, at
tached to the bow of the boat. It is
submerged, so as to steady the vision,
which otherwise would be contorted
by the waves. The water where
sponges grow is very clear, and bottom
can be seen at a great depth.
The home of the sponge fishing indus
try is in Greece and centuries' old. A
large percentage of the Mediterranean
sponges come from the island of Hy
dra. Some, however, come from off
the coast of Tripoli. A few sponges
come from the faroff land of Madagas
car. There are two months in each
year when sponge fishing is practically
abandoned. This Is in August and
.September, the hurricane months. Dur
ing' the other ten months the industry
flourishes.
Tito Chaperon In the West.
All unmarried females of means and
position are chaperoned here. Agt
doesn’t matter. They are spinsters—
that’s enough. No tender maid of thir
ty goes unattended in California. No
single woman of any age goes to the
theater alone with a man, and, as for
*buggy riding,” the custom is un
known. No girl goes to a restaurant
for lunch with a youth she has known
from the cradle. It would not be cor
rect, and it would not be entirely cor
rect, either, for her to get another girl.
No; she must have the chaperon—the
tried and seasoned veteran of matri
mony—or else the proprieties will be
split up the back.
The ardor with which the cult of the
chaperon has been taken np in the
west should make the thoughtful
pause. At the rate we’re going at
we’ll soon be where they are In France,
and it will be hopelessly compromising
for any of ns to walk two blocks on
the public street with a man of our
acquaintance.—Geraldine Bonner in
San Francisco Argonaut.
Bsypt’s Veiled Women.
The tasmak, or veil, may be black of
white, long or short, plain or embel
lished with rows of drawnwork of
tucks and of any sort of fine, soft ma
terial. The women of the middle and
lower classes wear for the most part
black veils from one to three feet long.
Those higher in the social grade wear
white ones, and occasionally they
reach to the hem of the dress. These
are held "In place by a metal tube that
Is fastened over the nose and lower
part of the forehead by cords securely
tied behind. When worn with this ba-
bara in the orthodox fashion, there is
nothing visible but the woman’s bright
black eyes, which see everything going
on. The tasmak and habara are cap
ital disguises, and a woman may flirt
to her heart’s content without fear of
being discovered, provided she is not
followed to her home. — Philadelphia
