Educational.

Editor Leader: Will you please
allow me space in your paper for
a few words relative to the Topi-
saw Graded School?
This is the chartered graded
school of beat 8, and solicits the
patronage of Lincoln and adjoin-
ing counties. A splendid new
building has been added to the
original house so that we now have
ample room for the accommmoda-
ton of more than one hundred
students. The entire building
has been furnished with new and
improved desks, heaters, etc.
The school is ideally located, be-
ing surrounded by a beautiful gum
grove, and within one hundred
yards of a fine spring of fresh,
pure water. The community is
remarkably healthy and is COM
posed of prosperous, abiding
citizens.
Our course of study covers ten
years, and embraces all subjects
usually found in city graded
schools. Students who complete
the course will be well prepared
to enter the Freshman class Of
our best colleges.
Glasses in elocution and music
will be organized, for which COM
petent teachers have been sup
piled. A reasonable tuition will
be charged those who enter these
classes. The services of compe-
tent stenographer and typewriter
can be secured and any who may
want to take a commerce ial course
at small cost will have an oppor-
tunity of doing so.
Attention is called to the fact
that the county public schools will
open Oct. 9th, which is a week
or two earlier than formerly. The
additional tax of one mill levied
by the Board of Supervisors will
give us one month extra, making
this term six months long. Our
Board of Control, recognizing the
necessity for a longer term, has
supplemented this with two other
months, giving US at Topisaw an
eight months term.
No tuition will be charged in
the literary school during the free
school term. An incidental fee
will be charged all pupils who en-
ter the school and is due the day
the pupil enters.
Boys and girls will have advan-
tages equal to those offered by
the city graded schools and at
much less cost,
Board can be had in cultured
Christian homes at from $500 to
$500 per month.

REPORT ON eoFTeN.
A New Feature to Secure Quickly
Accurate STATISTICS Of the
Cotton Crop.

Mr.. George G. McClendon, of
Brookhaven, has been appoint
ed local special agent of the Cen
sus Office to collect cotton-ginning
statistics for this county, and we
join the government in urging the
ginners to give Mr.. McClendon
their hearty support and COOP
GRAFTON, thus enabling him TO
make prompt and accurate re-
turns. We would impress upon
the ginners the fact that this
agent is a sworn officer of the gov
eminent, and that their reports,
are forwarded as given to him di-
rectly to the census Office at Wash
ington, without passing through
the hands of any middlemen. The
information givenis held as strict
ly confidential and the operations
of individuals ginners are not d.
vulged. Upon the joint co-opera=
ton of the cotton growers, ginners
and local agents must depend the
success of the census Office in this
inquiry, and its ability. to render
this great service to the Southern
people and to all interested in the
cotton staple. =
The census Office has demon
strated in three annual reports the
fact that the ginners are the only
reliable source of information as
to the volume of the cotton crop.
This is very complimentary to the
ginners, who, no doubt, will feel
2 pride in sustaining the reputa-
ton earned.
In recognition of this. interest
shown by the ginaers, and of q
general demand for more frequent
reports through this source, Con
gress, in the act creating a per-
manent census Office, provided
for the collection and publication
of these statistics at intervals dur
ing the ginning season. For the
crop of 1902 the office will insure
three reports; the first two will
cover the quantity of cotton gin
ned up to and including October
rs and December Is, respectively;
and the final report will cover the
total quantity ginned from the
growth 0f 1909
Realizing that the collection of
the data for these reports is made
at a season when the ginners' time
is greatly taxed, and approaching
the necessity for prompt returns,
the census Office has located in
each county containing ten or
more ginneries, an agent who will
visit each ginner in the county
and secure a report of the quaint
'ty of cotton ginned up to certain
dates. In these undertakings the
frequent and hurried reports now
sought, it is of vital importance
that the returns be made with alb
solute uniformity, and that all be
received at Washington at one
time. This result could not be
expected from individual requests
made by mail to the 5000 gin
ners at q time when they are en-
crossed in their ginning work.
Furthermore, the census office
must be kept advised of all
changes in the management and

There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment, pronounced il incuEable.
Science has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure manu-
featured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the market. 1t

MRS. s. A. e. BAILEY.

This honored and beloved South

died at jackson on October Z,
after a residence of forty years az
the capital city and a life time
spent in her native state-Missis-
sippi-and her native county of
Kinds. She was a daughter of
Rev. Beniamine Whitfield, one of
the founders of Mississippi Col
lege, and in her early life became
the wife of Richard Griffith, a dis
tinguished man of his time and
one who served as adjutant
on the staff of Jefferson Da-
Wis, as colonel of the First Mis-
sissipi Regiment in the war
with Mexico, afterwards treasur-
or of his State and again his eouns
try as United States marshal fer
the Southern district of Mississippi
pi during the administration of
President Buchanan. On june
20, 1862, he was leading his
troops as Brigadier General of
the 9TH Mississippi brigade in
the civil war, when he was killed.
Some time after the war the wild
ow of Gen. Griffith married Mr..
IS. F, Bailey, wealthy citizen Of
Jackson, whose son afterward
married Miss Lucy Griffith, the
daughter of the former Mrs, Grit
fifth. From this union sprung seY-

whom sympathy goes out in the

and-that one of our printers has

much that will interest our readers
in the way of fresh reading and
advertising matter. The adver-
tisement tof our live real estate
agents, Messrs. Brennan & Cos
nahan, is the most striking adver-
tisement in its way, ever published

newspaper Offices in the State
could have produced it in the form
it appears. This splendid piece Of
