We produce on the front page
of this issue, the names of one
hundred and fifty new subscribers
to The Times received during the
month of April. This should prove
to the advertiser the paper the
people are reading, which means
he paper it pays best TO advertise
in. We don't believe there is an
other weekly paper in the state
that can show a larger increase of
new subscribers in one month than
we present. May has started off
well and we think that before the
end of the month it will also show
a good increase, The merchant,
when he is ready to place an adj
yertisement, should remember
this for it is circulatio n
be wants and it will pay him to
place his ad in the paper that has
it. So remember The Times.

A ROAST WELL DESERVED.

GREENvnLE, Miss, May Z, 'O2.
Editor Greenville Times:
1t was my misfortune to
compelled to go to Wayside OF
horseback, accompanied by a man
who was from Nebraska. He
was going down the country to
look at plantation with view OF
buying. He was delighted with
the country and the growing
crops. all went we'll until we hit
the road north OF Wayside about
one and one-haIf miles. He asked
where the public read was and l
told him we were then in it, where
we were laundering about in mud
and water at times shoulder deep
to our horses, no attempt at road;
there had at one time been few
poles thrown in there but they
have now disappeared and left in
stead place that is utterly i'm
passable. Not far to the east of
this lake of water and mud are
deep bayous into which this at
tempt at a road could be drained.
My pen fails to describe on paper
nay i(.ea of such a road, but if my
ideas as expressed at the time
could be penned, then the mem
Der of the board of supervisors
from the End district who repre-
sent that section would believe
that the road was certainly re-
moved many degrees from q mac
adamlzed road. A road such as
the one ] describe is a disgrace to
Washington county, and is GER
tainly a fit subject for inquiry by
the grand jury.
The remarks made by my Ne
braska friend was a lesson to me.
If should purchase A. it
would be hard to haul from Green

would haul a good deal, but the
thought of his team straining in
that mud was enough TO put all
thoughts of purchasing out of his
head.

this one.

WELL DESERVED HONOR.

AT its recent meeting, held ii
jackson, the Mississippi STATE
Teachers ASSOCIATION elected Mr.
E. E. Bass its president by accla-
nation Mr.. Bass, who has beer
Principal Of the Greenyille public
school system tor nearly 20 years,
is entirely worthy of the honor
conferred upon him by the associa-
ton. He is so well and favorabIy
known in Greenville that this com
mendation must seem superfuous;
and those who know him best will
feel, even while acknowledging the
tribute, that the honor reflects
creditable upon the good Judgment
of the association, and its readiness
to recognize ability and merit.
Such a testimonial, from such a
source. however, is of no small
weight and value. The associa-
ton, which has had an honorable
career extending over more than
thirty-five years, is now composed
of six or seven hundred educa. ors,
including many of the finest minds
in the state; and the position of
president of such a body is prop
eriy valued by its holder and re-
garded with pride and qualification
by his friends.
Mr.. Bass is known as q success
full educator far beyond the bord-
ers Of Mississippi. Taking charge
of the public schools Of Greenville
almost Immediately after his own
graduation, he has gradually ex- !
modernized and perfected
the method and teaching until, at
the present time, the course is re-
garded as one of the most success
full and finely organized systemsof
public education to be found in
any southern city. Not only is his
talent and success in his profess
sion a benefit to Greenville, but his
IDEAS have been put in operation
n many other places; and normal
schools IN Mississippi and other
states annually avail themselves of
lis experience and judgment, and
all upon him for instruction in his
pstem of school government and
Methods of teaching. The hoonsr
# a profession are the reward of
Intelligent effort and success, and
here can be no question of the
wisdom of the association III con-
erring a distinction which was SO
ustly bestowed and will be SO
won.

PUBLIC OPINION.

| "When Gen. Macarthur comes
forward to claim the glory OF
! Aguinaldo's capture, says the In
dianapolis Ind News, sit is abso'
lutte cruelty not to let Funston
speak"
The attempt to make Gen.
Brooke available as a Gabernator-
ial candidate in Pennsylvania "has
touched no responsive chord any
/ where among Republicans of any
kind" says the Philadelphia Bulle-
tin (Rep). ''Gen. Brooke is a good
soldier, but he is a lifelong pro-
feysional soldier and nothing else,
and his best friends are those who
will not attempt to drag him into
politics or thrust evil honors upon
him."
The Chicago Inter Ocean (Rep.)
calls upon tho meat packers to de-
fend themselves. "Any monopoly
of q necessary Of life," says the
Inter Ocean, lis a thing so hateful
in itself that no creator or benefic-
larry thereof can escape the suspic-
ion that he is a public enemy. I'm
til they are proved guilty Of con-
duct warranting that suspicion the
packers must be deemed lnnocenty
But they cannot, in justice to them
selves, merely keep silence and de-
fly their accusers to prove their
charges. Their duty is not only
to prove that they have kept with
in the letter of the law. Their
duty, not only to themselves, but
to every man who would preserve
the American ideal of individual
property, is to prove affirmatively
that they have not violated the
spirit of the law"
The trouble in the Philippines is
not in the men, but in the system, .
says the Des Moines Qa.) Leader
Dem.) 1--WE have sacrificed the
lives of several thousands OF our
young men; have directly killed a
hundred thousand Fillplnos and in
directly caused the death of as
many more; we have destroyed
query building over stretches of
country and burned towns without
number; we haue spent $500, 000,-
600 Of the American taxpayers
money on the task, and for no one
of these things need there be sur
prise. They are the unavoidable
concufion of a syllogism whose
premises are war conquest. And
in the future we must sacrifice
more lives, kill more FiIipinos,
spend more money, and coun te-
nance more atrocities. We are
fighting against human nature, and
as sensible persons ought to recog-
nize the consequences.
President Roosevelt at least
does not lack advice in the present
crisis, and most OF it seems to be
friendly, even when it comes from
Democratic sources. Here is an |
instance from the Atlanta Consti-
tuition (Dem.): eff the President
really wants to down the Trust
and make himself the hero of an
emancipation of the people from
It's monopoly and robberies, he
should send a swift special mess
lge up to the Capitol calling upon
Congress to promptly repeal the
neat taxes! Let him urge that

bill at sight! Such a message
will not get into type before the
chicago combine will come off It's
,erch with a bang that will jar the
,rices of meats downward from
me end of the nation to the other!

ct him do business. and the way
o do it is to knock the foundations

men for their apathetic dependence the imagined
safety Of their insular position which ended dis
vocate some kind OF compulsory military service.
'"The Islander" concludes with these lines.
No doubt but ye are the people. absolute strong
and wise.
Whatever your heart has desired have not with
held from your eyes.
On your heads, in your own hands, the sin and
the saying lies.
