GAST said that Goodwyn, rather than perjure himself, voted for the negro Murray. He said that district was a negro district, that he negroes had a large majority and that the white man had the cheek to run against the negro and that the ballot box was stuffed and the white man given the place. He asserted that the negro was elected and that the white man was ousted fairly and squarely. Jack spoke at some length as did Gast, and both speeches were bitter tirades against the democratic party. They go from here to Hamilton. TOM N JERRY, Guin, Ala.

This Institution has made wonderful success of doing exactly the work assigned to it by the State, viz: Training teachers for the public schools. The catalogue is one of the very best that comes to this office. The outline of the work under the head of “Departments“ is almost equal to a Manual of Methods on the subjects covered. Every teacher should have one. A strong feature of the College, not shown by the catalogues, is the aid and encouragement rendered struggling young teachers who enter. Indeed it is said that all really worthy young people who enter manage sooner or later to complete the course.- [Florence Times] $100 will defray a year’s expenses, including board.

Ad for The Great Enquirer PAGE 4 ANECDOTE ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR TIGERS A sportsman of Calcutta has employed the electric light with success in hunting tigers by night among the jungles of the Sanderbunds. It is usual to set a bait for the tiger – for instance, the body of a cow or other animal – and watch for him from a raised platform or machan close by. Instead of the blue light hitherto burned to illuminate the tiger in order to aim well, the gentleman in question has rigged up a sixteen-candle-power electric lamp, fed by a portable battery of thirty eapo-fard cells, carried in his belt. The lamp, fitted with a reflector, is suspended from a tree over the bait. A switch beside the hunter enables him to start the light when the tiger is engaged in devouring his prey.
