NOTES AND NOTIONS.
BELATED BUT INTERESTING LETTER
INTENDED FOR LAST
WEEK'S ISSUE.
Lake City .January 14:?The Bank
of Lake City held its tenth annual
meeting of stockholders yesterday at
Boon at .the Halcyon Hotel. At 2
p.m.the stockholders repaired to the
Halcyon dining-room,where a course
luncheon was served.
Messrs J C Lynch of Cowards, E
F Prosser and J Davis Carter of Leo
were in town yesterday in attend
ance upon the meeting of the directors
and stockholders of the Bank
of Lake City.
Mr Norval N Newell of Hemingway
was in town one day this week.
Mr Winslow Wright of Scranton
wrs in town yesterday afternoon to
look after a case in which he was interested
in the magistrate's court.
Mr Harvey Hand of Columbia
was in town last Tuesday, leaving in
his wake a dictaphone and its attendant
unpleasant extra work for
your scribe.
State Superintendent of Schools W
H Hand spoke Wednesday evening of
last week in the school auditorium in
a very edifying manner on the efficiency
of our schools and the possibility
of making them mean more
to the community; he stressed the
fact that if a school were the voice
of the community, as it should be, it
should have the interest and support;
of the patrons. He also called our
attention to the necessity of high
standard schools, and this is reached
by having the best instructors; teachers
who make teaching their life
work,not merely as a stepping-stone
to another occupation or avocation.
He also emphasized the necessity of
Ibe co-operation with the teachers of
patrons and pupils.
An interview with our school superintendent,
Mr T Cook Covington,
brings the following facts to light:
Mr Covingtonvhas been acting in the
canaeitv of superintendent here for
six years. The first year he taught
there were only 102 pupils enrolled;
during the six years the attendance
has increased four times that number.
Today there is an enrollment of
approximately 420 pupil3. The first
year Mr Covington taught we had
only three teachers; today there are
eleven grade teachers and one music
teacher; the whole school property,
including building, lot and fixtures,
was then worth only $1,250;
the trustees' report shows that the
property to-day is worth not only
four times increase, but twenty
* i- i.i iL.i
umes wnat it was men, mai is, approximately
$25,000. With three
teachers then, there was, as now,
only a three-mill tax, which goes to
show how much property has enhanced
in value since that time. Mr
Covington seems to think that with
a five-mill tax we could then have
sufficient funds to employ two more
assistants.who are greatly needed at
this time, and have the wherewithal
to support the schools on an improved
scale that has been suggested
and through which better results
could be obtained.
The Farmers & Merchants Bank
are holding their eighth annual
meeting this afternoon. At this
writing the meeting hasn't adjourned.
A delicious luncheon was seryed
to the stockholders and directors at
noon in the dining-room of the Halcyon
Hotel. On account of the large
number of stockholders expected to
attend, the place of meeting is the
large hall belonging to the K of P
fraternity. The cashier, Mr T J Cottingham,'
and his assistant, Mr H F
Fenegan, are both confined to their
homes with illness. Mr B Wallace
Jones, Jr, is taking the cashier's
place and will conduct the meeting
on his behalf. LBN.

Dr King's New Discovery is known
everywhere as the remedy which
will surely stop a cough or cold. D
P Lawson of Hdson, Tenn, writes:

sells without any trouble at all. It
needs no guarantee." This is true,
because Dr King's New Discovery

DEADLY BATTLE WITH CONVICTS!
i
Seven Lives Lost in Attempted
Break for Liberty.
McAlester, Oklahoma.January 19:
Seven persons were killed and a telephone
operator injured during a
pistol battle at the State penitentiary

with revolvers made a dash
for liberty. The dead are: John R
Thomas, Muskogee, former United

States District Judge; u uane?,
deputy warden; F C Godfrey, store
house sergeant; H H Drover, record
clerk; China Reed, serving two-year
sentence for murder; Chas Koontz.
serving forty-year sentence for murder;
Thomas Law, serving six-year
sentence for larceny.
The men. armed with two revolvers,
which had been smuggled into
the penitentiary, broke from the
ranks while the prisoners were being
marched through a court yard.
As they ran through the office they
fired several shots at random,one of
the bullets striking Miss Foster.
Next they encountered Judge
Thomas.a visitor at the penitentiary,
in the corridor, and both of the men
carrying pistols opened fire, several
of the bullets striking the attorney
and inflicting mortal wounds.
Oates and Drover intercepted the
men as they left the corridor and
were shot to death, the prisoners
continuing their flight. By this time
half a dozen guards were in pursuit,
and in a running battle Godfrey and
the three men were killed.

Best Cough Medicine tor Children.
"I am very glad to say a few
words in praise of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy," writes Mrs Lida
Dewey, Milwaukee, Wis. "I have
used it for years both for my children
and myself and it never fails
to relieve and cure a cough or cold.
No family with children should be
without it as it gives almost immediate
relief in cases of croup."
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
pleasant and safe to take, which is
of great importance when a medicine
must be given to young children
For sale by all dealers.
Pertaining to Pedagogues.
Those who think that pedagogues
Are prim, austere and mean,
Just simply have another thought
When Williamsburg "paede' they've
seen.
They're pretty, young and full of life,
And work for little pay,
Yet why they're not some fellow's wife,
Is more than, I can say.
Yet men are mighty slow to haste,
And here they act the fool,
By letting beauty go to waste
In teaching country school.
Ignorance frequently commences
with a large, black aapital I.

His Stomacb Troubles Over.
Mr Dyspeptic, would you not like
to feel that your stomach troubles
were over, that you could eat any
kind of food you desired without
injury? That may seem so unlikely
to you that you do not even hope
for an ending of your trouble, but
fa nnaiiMA ?A11 fViof if ic

not altogether impossible. If others
can be cured permanently, and
thousands have been, why not you?
John R Baker, of Battle Creek, Mich,
is one of them. He says, "I was
troubled with heartburn, indigestion,
and liver complaint until I
used Chamberlain's Tablets, then
my trouble was over." Sold by all
dealers.
If a man knew as much as his sixyear-old
son is led to believe that he
knows* the makers of encyclopedias
would all blow up.
