fore them since school closed in se
lecting teachers for the thirteen va
cancies that existed at the close ol
last session. We have been literallj
swamped with applications, and from
the hundreds of applications received
we believe that we have selected ar
unusually strong corps of teachers
With only one exception all are teach
ers of experience and were selected
only after their qualifications were
selected only after their qualification!
were thoroughly investigated. All

the purchase of additional primary
equipment. The addition of these
books to our library and the purchase
of additional primary equipment place
our elementary school on the ac
credited list of Standard Elementary
Schools of the State.
Plans are being made for painting
the garage and repainting the boys’
dormitory and the shop. Plans have
been made also for repairing and re
painting the walls of the entire base

The date of opening of next sc sion

teachers who are attending summer
school can be ready by that date, how
ever, we hope to begin on Monday,
August 31st. This will be about a
week earlier than we opeend last ses
sion and will enable us to close earlier
next spring. By this plan farmers can
have the use of their children earlier
in the spring. B. H. JOHNSON.

Says Inhumanity of
Man Little Changed
From Biblical Days
A dispatch from Newark, N. J., \
says: Harry W r . Butz, draftsman and j
itinerant evangelist, who walked from !
Newark to Cincinnati and return to
determine what a penniless Christian
way-farer might expect from his fel
low man, announced his findings a
few days ago, and asserted that man’s
inhumanity to man had not changed
much from thq day’s of the good 1
Samatritan.
On the trip, which was concluded
Thursday, he said he was given a lift
by one of every thirty automobiles ac
costed. He was held up once in every
118 miles, but one-third of the hold
up men gave up their own funds to
him when they learned his mission.
Clergymen, church office*, business
and professional men and socal agen
cies refused assistance twenty times
to the one time that such help was ac
corded, and he was offered six drinks
of whiskey to one of coffee.
His itinerary included Philadelphia,
Wilmington, Del., Baltimore, Wash
ington, Cumberland, Pittsburg, Wheel
ing and Dayton, returning byway of
Chillicothe and Washington Court
House, Ohio, Parkersburg, W. Va.,
Cumberland, Baltimore and Philadel
phia.
Twelve different bootleggers offer- >
ed him employment and he met 437 j
working men who said they were !
driven to tramping for lack of work. '
Records of the railroads here and
abroad show that America still leads 1
all other countries.

JOHN SCOPES
CONVICTED IN
I THE COURTS
, School Teacher Fined
SIOO.OO in “Evolu
t
tion” Contest
The Case Will Now
Go To the Supreme
Court, it is Said
Dayton, Tenn., July 21.—The State
of Tennessee against John Thomas
’ Scopes, on trial for eight days in Rhea
county court, tonight was the case of
John Thomas Scopes against the State
of Tennessee. Conviction of Scopes
today on a charge of violating the
Tennessee law against the teaching of
theories of evolution in public schools
paved the way for an appeal to the
State Supreme Court.
The scene of the “evolution test”
will be shifted from Dayton to Knox-,
ville, where under the regular order of
procedure, the Tennessee court will
hear cases from this circuit the first
Monday in September.
After both defense and state coun
sel had agreed this morning that the
defendant should be convicted, the
jury returned a verdict in les3 than
ten minutes.
The minimum fine of SIOO was im
posed by the court and bail was fixed
at SSOO. The defendant made a sure
ty bond for his appearance in Rhea
County Circuit Court the first Mon
day in December, when the Supreme
Court is expected to have passed upon
the case. As soon as the verdict was
returned the defense moved for a new
trial and when this was over ruled,
, Scopes’ attorneys made the other
customary legal motions to complete
the record and send the case on its
way to the Supreme Court.
The beginning of the end of the
case that b.is covered a wide variety
on subjects was noted soon after court
convened this morning. Attorneys on
the contending sides of the issue an
nounced that they had decided to fore
go argument and submit the case at
once to the jury.
Judge John T. Ralston, however,
before retiring to his chambers to pre
pare his charge, expunged from the
record of the case the testimony of
Wili am Jennings Bryan given yes
terday afternoon in the absence of the
jury.
ASPHALT PEOPLE HERE FOR
FINISHING TOUCHES ON THE
| HARD-SURFACE HIGHWAY
We understand that the finishing
| touches on some parts of No. 90 high
way have been completed around Zeb
ulon.
The Asphalt force arrived a few
days ago and are now busy laying the
top surface on the highway, v *
The construction force are making
good headway on the work, and in a
i very short time the road in this im
mediate section will be completed.
ON THE JOB ALL THE TIME
I Mi-. Burbon Richardson, our on-the
job-all-the-time deputy sheriff, has
lately ayonned the blind tiger folks by
carrying off the stills without per
mission. He brings one in almost ev
ery week, and no doubt there are more
from where these came from, if reports
are true. We heard of a man once
who walked three miles to steal wood
on a cold winter night, when by actu
al calculation he had to expend three
times the time and energy that would
have been necessary to get the wood
honestly. Why will these violators of
the law do likewise when they could
mf.ke an honest living otherwise by
less effort or risk?
FRACTURED HIS ARM
We are sorry to learn of an accident
to Mr. Buck Richard’s little boy this
week. While playing upstairs in a
Pack house he fell or w r as pushed
from the door to the ground below
and fractured his arm near the wrist.
