Sold by Kaufmann Drug Co. Garris Aet Will Beaffit Schools. At a recent sessicn of the general assembly there was an appropriation of $60,000 for the development of the high schools of the State, and $20,000 to carry out the provisions of the Garris common school law. The State V* o c K/-?or?o]]r>rl to t.ho uuaiu xiao un n vun^vx n/ u..v necessary regulations for the expenditure of the money. The rnostimportant of these requirements will be relative to the expenditure of the funds provided for under the Garris act. In certain counties, where the schools in the rural districts are now run for, say 50 days in ail, the Garris bill will apply, and the requirements will be plain but exact. The regulations will provide that before any one of the rural schools can receive any part 6f the fund it most first place the portion to be raised by the patrons in the county treasury, and it must be absolutely to the credit of the school fund. In other words, if a rural school has run for say 50 days and the teacher is paid $30 per month, if the patrons of the school will raise among themselves and place in the county treasury $30 in cash, then and then only will there be available from the new fund $60 with which to pay for teaching. The $60 is not in tended to be available until after the sum raised by the patrons has been expended. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Most Popular Because it is the Best.

It is said that there is a strong dispensary sentiment in Sumter county, and it is likely that county will vote "wet" at the election to be held in August. A Common Cold. We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms a culture bed for germs of infectious diseases. Consumption, pneumonia, diphtheria and scarlet fever, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. The culture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used. It cleans out these culture beds that favor the development of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so universally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly, but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous diseases. For sale by Kaufmann Drug Co. School Money For Public Boad.

I TEXAS MOB BURN NEGRO AT STAEB. | Attempted to Commit Criminal Assault ' at Rockwall. ** Rockwall. Texas, March 13.?After having been identified by Mr9. Arthur McKinney as the negro who attempt- * ed a criminal assault upon her Friday morning, Anderson Ellis was taken from the Rockwall county jail toj and secured to an iron stake 1 ? ?i-- i.1- _1 X uriven into tne eartn, ana was ourned to death in the presence of about a thousand persons. Earlier in the evening Will Clark, a negro was shot ; and instantly killed, when his father, I Andrew Clark refused permission to i | a posse to search premises on the assumption that Ellis was concealed there. People were here from several towns and from Dallas, Collins and Hunt as well as Rockwall county to witness the execution of the negro. Ellis admitted his guilt but refused to make a statement or to leave farewell messages for his relatives. He did not utter a cry as the pile of cordwood, which had been well saturated with kerosene was set afire, nor did he show loss of nerve as the flames cooked his flesh. He was dead within 9 minutes after the torch had been applied. The burning occurred in the public square of this city. At an early hour Friday morning Mrs. McKinney went*, into her back yard, and was seized by the Ellis negro, an employe of McKinney, who attempted to assault her. She fought desperately, and the negro, running away, called that he would murder her should she reveal his attempted act. 4 The alarm spread quickly, and the entire section turned out, joining the authorities in the chase after the negro. The search continued through Friday and Saturday, when a posse arrived at the farm house of Andrew Clark, a negro. Demand was made to search the premises on the ^ supposition that the negro* Ellis was there in hiding. Upon refusal, the inmates were commanded to surrender and two negroes were observed to run from the rear of the house. Shots were fired at them, and one, Will Clark, a son of the negro j farmer was killed. The other negro, * 4 | now known to be Ellis escaped. Blood- A hounds were secured and put on his | trail. About S o'clock he was surrounded at a farm house 3 miles south * of Caddo Mills. Ellis, armed, made desperate resistence and emptied his weapon at the posse without effect. Quickly the posse overpowered the negro, and tied hint securely. During the fight with the jwsse, Ellis was wounded twice, once in the arm and once in the back. The negro was placed in the Rockwall county jail. When it became generally known that Ellis was held in the jail, a quiet but determined crowd of men overpowered tire jailors, secured the keys, unlocked the cell, and brought the negro down. There was no rowdyism. The no;n\> was so curely tied to an iron sfatce. Cord* wood saturated with kerosene was piled about him and upon his refusal to make a statement, beyond admitting his frui!t in the presence of Mrs. McKinney, who fully identified htm as . her assailant, the torch was applied and the negro's body qu'e-kly bnrn?d in the flames. Tito crowd then quiekly dispersed.
