Among the 4,000 chickens, duck geese, turkeys, pigeons ana pheasani shown this year at the Madiso Square Garden poultry sliow in Ne' Yerk, the Herald of that city say the outstanding feature is the firs public view of the new fowl develope at Belteville, Maryland, by Harr L? non, the expert in charge of pou trj development for the Departmer of Agriculture. This type, which i named Lamona in honor of the ma who spent ten years in developing i was envolvcd from blending chanu teristics of the silver gray Dorkinj x thu white Plymouth Rock and tl wzgle comb white Leghorn. The ol jeet sought was a white bird with re ear lobes, yellow skin and legs, whic should lay white eggs and have d< sirsble qualities for the table. Ej perts pronounce the new bird to l a welcome accession to the poultr world. Those who breed poultry f< egg production will find types in tl Federal exhibit that come from gei emtions of birds which have bee laying 200 or more eggs a year, whi the finders whose object is the d< velopmcnt of a meat producing fan ily will see cockerels ten months ol that weigh thirteen pounds and ha^ as much bone as a turkey. A report on the result attained t the entrants in the teachers examine k W tion held at the court house here in ^ October have just been made public c and the names of the successful contestants are published elsewhere in this newspaper today. There were * Y thirty white applicants who took the 1 examination and only three were suc>0 cessful, these being awarded third grade certificates; forty-seven colored j3 applicants took the same examination and nine were successful, they like- 1 jf wise being awarded third grade cer- J s, tificates. The above facts are an in- ' 10 dictment against trie intelligence of 1 a our white students who enter competi- 1 - tive examinations for positions as 1 >n teachers and there must be a reason 1 is for it They have no right to aspire 1 a: to such positions unless they have 1 passed successfully through the high 1 school grades; if they have done this, i and fail to pass for third grade cer- < .jj tificate then there must be something 1 wrong with the kind of instruction * r- given in the high school grades or 5? fVtaif fao*Viorc 'navp rint hppn thorOUCh r. in their work. This report is, ac- : cording to our recollection consider- 1 ably belo^ that of the previous ex- : -j amination held for Williamsburg coun- 1 J ty, but at that time there were more < successful colored contestants than ~ there were white. Every one knows " that the white student in this county ? has many and greater educational ? le advantages than the negro student, ! )K and we are at a loss to underctand why 0f the negro, handicapped as he is with < os regard to educational facilities as ! m compared with the white students, | ]y make so much better showing in a 1 il_ competitive examination where white ! n> and black fare alike. The County \ or Record does not give the names of 1 it these taking the examination last ! ig fall, who failed to win certificates, oy the indictment against them, especial- ' ly the white students, is great enough ! without further cause for humiliation. ; We do think it is high time for our ig white girls and boys who aspire to ! r_ be teachers, to wake up, and for the ; ^ high school teachers who have these aspirants under instruction to take jg off the soft peddle and get down to n0 brass tacks. re o h" The cry is for lower taxes, but ch taxes will have to be lowered gfadually , Taxes did not rise to present e- heights in a year, and to attempt to x- lower them to pre-war levels in a I Wa ^ofnl fA manv niiKllV IU )CttI WVUtU uc xauu wv uumij i>n institutions.

A mild income tax law at will be passed, there wilt be a tax on r- gasoline and kerosine, luxuries and p- amusements?such as soft drinks, powders, perfumes, cigars and tobaccos, horse races, moving picture shows, >n theatres, etc.?will be taxed, and there at may be an occupation tax which will it reach every man earning from $500 ly per year upward. Heretofore real If estate and personal property have 1C been carrying about 85 per cent of Id the tax burden.

The citizenry of Beaufort, "The Lettuce City," says the the Charleston News and Courier, is well pleased vith the world in general today, for hey have witnessed during the past veek a triumph of the young lettuce slants over the heavy fall of ice that threatened to kill all green life. During the two days that this section was covered with a coat of ice, the prospects of a good crop was nost discouraging, but the sun dawn?d today on a muddy sod beautified jy the green of millions of vigorous md healthy looking vegetables. A. s&ular fall of ice has not been seen in this community for many years and it was fortunate, indeed, that it came just at the time that the young lettuce, for which. Beaufort is famous, could best stand such conditions. Rub-My-Tism. a pain killer. * ii ii iiinniiniitMUH ; Academy Theatre% WEDNESDAY NIGHT,!!
