JFST1CE FOR MISS JONES.
Correspondent Wishes to Make Cor?
rections In Acoount of Cast*.
Kdltor Wtschman and outhron:
In the issue of the Watchman of
the "'th inst., under heading of'
er Wins Case," your report does
Justice to 'Miss Jones,
correspondent quotes the foh
statement from the article re?
ferred to: "It seems from the testi?
mony adduced at the hearing of the
case, that Miss Jones had been prom?
ised thirty dollars a month from the
school by two of the trustees, while
the third trustee understood she was
to get twenty dollars a month. Miss
Jones accepted twenty dollars each
month from the district for teach?
ing, but afterwards put in her claim ;
far the other sixty dollars wnich she
alleged was due her."
i Now the testimony went over
wjhHmmgly to prove that Miss Jones
had been promised thirty dollars a
month by all three of the trustees,
though the memory of one of them
did not seem very clear on that point.
While Miss Jones did accept the
twenty dollars, she did so under pro?
test from the first. I make this state?
ment In Justice to Miss Jones, as the
price quoted might lt>ave a shadow
of doubt In the mind of the reader
as to Miss Jones' clear right to the
thirty dollars.
Miss Jones' salary was suppllmented
by Clarendon County, which paid
twenty dollars a month.

A Name That Grows Bigger Daily.
Thero is one name that continues
to grow bigger and brighter before
the country all the time, and that has
suffered no eclipse or set-back. Quite
a number of others have gons down
in gloom, or disappeared in the course
of the last two or three years, but that
of Underwood becomes more and
more a synonym, for strong and en?
lightened leadership. The tariff test
to which he has been subjected for
several years past Is the most severe
to which an American politician
I could be subjected, and he has come
through it so far without u single in?
dication of weakness. Many notable
men have fallen in the protracted bat?
tle for tariff revision, for there are
innumerable pitfalls and slippery
places along the road. But Mr. Un?
derwood's calmness, ieif-control, sin
cerity and steadfastness have brought
him safely through all of them.
The country takes off Its hat In ad?
miration of Mr. Underwood. He
stands high among the really valuable
public men of the day. ? Baltimore
