Food For Reelection.

I'VE have lived in the south as long
as we can on the bounfies of nature,
and have reached the point at which
we must study science, learn the arts,
use u material and ae-
cumulate wealth, or else fall behind
and go down." So says President G.
w. Dabney, of the University of Ten
nessee. This is n statement worthy
of our most earnest consideration.
Who can say that the natural re-
sources of the south do not surpass
those of any other country? What
will we do with them is the question
How long will our hundreds of tur-
bulent streams dash on their course
through the land, carrying to waste
a vast store of energy? When will our
little hills and mountains be made to
give up their hidden %treasurers. and
what Of a more advanced manufac'
ture Of King Cotton? The south has
done well, but most do more to en-
dure. Yes, we have the favors OF
nature, but how useless they are
without the knowledge and skill to
accept them in the fullest manner

The One Thing Lacking.

One a not avoid the conclusion
that more of our young men ought to
prepare for industrial and CONNER.
cial careers. Only a few can be pro.
fessional men. Many must be manu-
facturers, buyers and sellers and
workers. Let them be intelligent,
trained, educated. One can not for
get the young men who have been
lost to life by aiming vaguely at some
calling regarded as higher when sue
cess awaited them in an industrial
career. Many a boy has received a
higher education that prepared him
for life in general, and holding him.
self above the shop and the market
and low wages, has found at length
his only hope of a living in teaching
school with not a spark of the teach
ing sense in his heart. Many a father
has given a son a higher education
only to find him aimless in a busy
world at the end of four years.
But let it not be forgotten that
these young men did not suffer be-
cause of their higher education, but
rather because they were not also
particularly prepared. The fault lies
not on the one, but in lack of the
other. The IL thing to DO is to prop
erly combine the general education
with the special training.-Biblical

A rather queer method of dealing
with a blind tiger keeper is reported
from Newton in the eastern section
of the State. The mayor of the town
informed the marshal that the peo-
pie in a certain neighborhood had in
timated hat they would like to have
a blind tiger suppressed, and re-
quested him to proceed with the job
according to law. The marshal took
up the job with evident reluctance
and in a delicate manner communi-
Gated to the blind tiger keeper the
wishes of the mayor. The keeper
then requested that the authorities
wait a few days until he could dis
pose OF an unusually large stock on
hand, in order that he could retire
from the business without loss, and
his request was readily granted.

Demand Cheaper Rates.

The railroad commission has been
asked by the farmers in Northeast
Mississippi to put in a cheap grain
rate SO as to enable them to sell their
surplus corn crop in other sections
OF the State in competition with the
corn shipped here annually from the
West. The grain rates are now very
high on local shipments. For the
first time in years the farmers in
that section have made abundant
corn crops, while the rest of the
State this year has been afflicted with
a short crop of this cereal.

that the record for July and August

the case during these two summer

fashion, he says, the insurance COM

opinion that some of the companies
had already lost as much as they
would take in on premium account
for the entire year.

OF what value can q school of wo

teacher, be to a community? 1t can
only be a waste Of money. Every

1t will be much better for the chill
