THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT VMM BY A. J. HILL. tUI Ji,. — > ■ ■ -- Friday, May 18, 1883. Mahone’s machine politicj does not work well in Virginia. Be says to local organizations step down and out, for “I have the president and the administrator at my back,” and has made political assessment upon office-holders for the “sinews of war And to harmonize things down there it requires a great deal of gnashing of teeth. Protection seems to be the last and only cry of Republicanism. Cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco, whiskey, butter, cheese, beef, pork and a thousand other things raised by farmers might be protected. Our farmers have to pay double for their labor, what foreign farmers do for “pauper labor,” and why not; protect them, so that they can get rich, as some of the manufacturers do faster than by natural legitimate methods. Tbere is just as much sense in this cry of protection in the cases mentioned as in those where there is such great clamor. COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION.

G. W. A. Luckey, David Gleckler, D. Neiderhouser, jr., ; David Long, R. 8. Peterson, Committee. I The superintendent then addressed ths hoard upon the present necessities. He said we need better school buildings. Our buildings should be more durable. More care should be had in regard to ventilation, light, apparatus and surroundings. Each building should contain a bell sufficient to be beard anywhere in the district. No building should be built without plans and specifications. Each building lot should contain at least one acre. He gave plans by which shade trees might be placed upon the lot without expense. He explained the changes made in regard to she school law. and

made a few remarks in regard to the kind of a man that should be selected a« superintendent. Mr. Brown then explained to ih<board the advantages of Harper's series of text books. J. T. Merryman then spoke in favor of White’s arithmetics and Montieth s geographies. The proposition present ed by Harper Bros, wat read to the board and a motion made to adopt books at this meeting, which was carried. A motion was then made to adopt Harper’s arithmetics according to the proposition presented by Harper Bros. (H. I.) The vote resulted in a tie, —six for and six against the adoption. The superintendent decided in the negative, stating as a reason that two members of the board were absent. A motion was made to adopt Harper’s geography according to a proposition presented by Harper Bros. Carried; eight for and four against. A proposition from Ivison Blakeman, Taylor & Co., in regard to Websters' dictionaries was laid on the table I until the next regular meeting. A proposition in regard to the home ami school visitor was presented to the board, but no action was taken. Mr. Long, of Monroe, presented the ' following resolutions, which were unani imously adopted, and ordered sprea d i on record. Whereas, G. W. A. Luckey, having accepted another position, will not be a candidate for re-election to the office of county superintendent, and that during all our acquaintance with him, we have found him to be an energetic and efficient officer and a perfect gentleman; therefore, Resolved, Ist—That in parting with him the public schools of Adams county lose one of their warmest friends and ablest supporters. Resolved, 2d—That we recognize Prof. Luckey as an able scholar, a tireless, unselfish laborer, a thorough organizer, and one who ever firmly and faithfully does his duty under all c ircumstances. Resolved, 3d—That we commend him as one eminently qualified to discharge all the duties of teacher or superintendent, and in every worthy of the entire confidence of school men and the general public. A motion to adjourn uutiljthe next regular meeting in August. Carried. G. W. A. Luckey, Pres. A. M. Fuller. Sec y. ALWAYS REFRESHING. A delicious odor is imparted by Floreston Cologne, which is always refreshing, no matter how freely used. Circuit Court . The principal probate business was transacted Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday an effort was made to dispose of the state cases, but nothing of importance transacted. Thursday Simpson was brought into court, was arraigned and plead not “guilty." He will not be tried this term, we predict, preferring to give Sheriff McGriff a chase to having his trial, and if pressed will take a change of venue. In the Case of the State vs. .1/oses Moore, held under a preliminary examination chaaged with the outrage of Norah B. Houser, the grand jury returned a bill charging him with assault and batery with an attempt to commit an outrage. AWORDTO MOTHERS. Mothers should remember it is a most important duty at this season to look after the health of their faniflies and cleanse the malaria and impurities from their systems, and that nothing will tone up the stomach and liver, regulate the bowels and pui fy the blood so perfectly as Parker’s Ginger Tonic, advertised in our columns. — Post.
