COUNTY TEACHERS MEET
And Discuss Interesting Themes Relative
to Their Vocation*
The Williamsburg County
6 * Teachers' association held its
tirs t meeting of the season Saturday
last in the graded school
k auditorium. Supt P P Bethea
was asked to preside, while
Miss Etta Jacobs was elected
secretary. The meeting, while
not largely attended by the
teachers, especially from the
- rural districts, was in many re*
spects most interesting, and
showed a determined spirit on
* the part of those present to
place Williamsburg county
abreast with the more progressive
of her sister counties in the
development of higher education.
The tirst subject on the programme
was, "Consolation of
Rural Schools." As the teachers

in bebali of this theme were 3E

eral gentlemen responded in a ut
very thoughtful and forceful Eg
manner: and even the ladies co
o]?erated by taking a hand primj
ary as to the necessity of con'
so'idatine'our rural schools. fL;

Lynchburg, Va., February 4tb, be
1997.?A decision of importance prjc
to all manufacturers of trade mark 3
goods has been awarded by Judge wep
Pritchard in the United States Cir- vjcj
cuit Court of this distiict. neS<
[ The question involved was wheth- jng
er the Allen Brothers Tobacco Co., that
of Lynchburg, Va., has the legal vert
right to use on its "Traveler*' brand ^hei
of plu.^ tobacco a tag similar in size, 5ar
shape, color, and slant of lettering, djse
hut different as to wording, from faji
that used by the R. J. Reynolds an
Tobacco Co., of Winston-Salem, N. g^
C. on its "Schnapps" Plug Tobacco.
In the argument, on motion of *;
the plaintiff, the R. J. Reynolds gin?
Tobacco Co. that a restraining Yor
order be issued forbidding the dewnfl
feudant company from further lm- ^
itating its tag, mauy affidavits were yeai
submitted tending to show that dret
owing to the similarity of the tags, and
the "Traveler" tobacco, purchased ^ll
by dealers at a lower price, was
sold to uneducated chewers for ^
"Schnapps." | jty,
In a decree signed by Judge Pritch-1 "
aid, the Allen Brothers Tobacco Pro
Company is enjoined from manufac- 6*re
taring, putting up, advertising, selling,
or offering for sale plug tobac- gurj
co bearing a tag identical with or son;
like the said tag of the complain- this
ant known as the "Schnapps" tag. ma(
According to this decision, no
manufacturer cau imitate even in y0I
color, shape or style of lettering,

turer, even though the woiding be pea:
entirely different. ^or

An Important Post.
When Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman
was secretary of state for
war Queen Victoria wished to make
the czar an honorary colonel of a
British regiment. JThe prime minister,
as he now is, demurred on
the grounds that" all other European
sovereigns would expect to receive
timilar honors. But as the queenwas
willing that even this should
be the czar was made colonel of the
Scots Oreys. Naturally the appointment
caused some excitement in
tho regiment. One subaltern was
jverheard saying to his servant,
'Donald, the emperor of Russia
ias been made colonel of the regiment/'
"Indade," was his reply,
"it's a verra gran' thing for him,
rot will he be able to keep baith
places ?" I
