Prof. c, "A. Spragins leaves this
week for his home at Buena Vista,
ChIckasaw county. The Professor
was principal of the PoplarviIle
public schoo, for the last seven
months term, and last week closed
a ten weeks successful session of
his private school. AS teacher,
as a church and Sunday school
worker, and in the social circle of
the community, his standing has
ever been that of a cultured, re-
fined, model christian gentleman.
We, as others, had learned to love
him as a brother, and his departure
is a source of unfeigned regret. To
the disappointment of many school
patrons, the professor was not an
applicant for the prlncipa!ship OF the
high school, No matter to what
the changes of time may give birth,
our friend will ever occupy prom
inent niche in the hearts of the
citizens of this community, every
member of which wish him God
speed wherever his lines may be
cast.

The mos. remarkable architecture
revolution and evolution in history have
been progressing in our large cities. not
ably Chicago and New York, in the past
10 years. The revolution involves a re-
versal of nearly all the old ideas of com
fort and safety in housebuilding.
The sky scraping steel house developed
but of the great need for ground room i'll
the two cities named. Chicago began it
and New York quickly took it up.
Ground was SO precious that it had to be
made the most of. Since buildings could
not spread ont. they had to push nj into
the air. The 20 story Office building and
hotel was the only structure that would
pay upon land worth $30, 900 or more to
the front foot.
A difficulty presented itself in the con-
struction of the sky scraper. If it shot
up 20 stories in the air. there coull hard
ly be ground enough got for the neces.
sary thickness of the walls. But IAN OBJ
stacle is something to be overcome.
Why make walls at all: The human
body seems TO have suggested an idea
to some brilliant architect. At least we
are told that such was the case. Whv
not make a skeleton support and cover
it with a skin? The idea was made tc
materialize. The bones of the 20 story
house are OF steel.
In sandy OF lnarshy soil Il great iron
plate is laid flat upon the ground, COW
ering all the space that the house is To
occupy. 1t cannot sink or sag one
sided. for the utmost care is taken TO
distribute the weight evenly. Into this
plate are fixed. firm as the rock of ages,

top are riveted steel girders to support
the flooring. To the first row of up-
right columns is riveted second row of
upright columns for the second story.
Thus. with row upon row of steel post

reaches amy height desired. Then the

Steps Toward NatiOnalism.

The long and disastrous coal strike in
England. lasting three months and par
alyzing many trades, has naturally Civ.
Ell rise to plans for the prevention OF
such strikes in future. The Socialist
party of course has its panacea, which is
that the state shall buy up all the coal
mines of Great Britain and operate them.
Numbers of the Radical party have gone
over to the Socialists on this question,
arguing that the coal mining interests of
the country are too important and in
volve too many other industries to allow
them longer TO be controlled by private
persons.
| Sir George Elliot is self made Briton.
When boy he was common miner in
the coalpits. He was brainy and ambi-
tious. however. and he raised himself
| step by step. till he became very rich
and baronet. Sir Georges plan for
preventing coal strikes is to merge all
the coal mine ownerships into one great
trust. worth. say $500, 600. GOO. The mines
OF tho Kingdom could he bought for that.

be managed on a semi cooperative basis
