Mississippi Teachers Association al
Vicksburg.

Never before in the history of
the state did such a body of en-
thusiastic workers for the cause Of
"Public Education" meet as the
one that met at Vicksburg last
week. All the old members Of the
Association agreed on this point.
1t was the eighteenth meeting
and has been growing in attend
ance and interest from the first.
More than 600 teachers attended
this meeting, among them were
some of the brightest intellects of
the state aud all present were in
spired by virtue of association
with such minds.
The teachers that attended from
Lee county were: Profs. j. T..
Cornell of the Tupelo Graded
school, E. P. Clayton Of the Saltll-
10 High school and Joel Berry of
the Baldwin High school.
An educational wave Is now on
in full blast and all those sections
affected by it are growing brighter
and more prosperous because wis
dom is the foundation of progress
Our worthy state superintendent
of public education, H. L. Whit
field, visited thirty-fve counties in
the state last year, and thirty-two
out Of the thirty-fve extended the
public school terms to five, six and
seven months, and some of them
to eight months. Our own ban
ner county Of Lee, under the wise
supervision Of Prof. F. H. Mitts,
has extended her term from four
to six months. But there are
more improvements yet to be made
as all cannot grow in a night time,
and we feel sure that Lee county
will never fall in the rear but al
ways go to the front with the com
mand of: "Come on boys we are
in the lead.

Tested by Coin.

Last year when the penitentiary
scandal arose at jackson, Hon.
J. G.. Kincannon was the only
man who had the courage to OPP
ly face Parchman and prefer
charges against him. The rail
road commissioners and governor
constitute the penltentiary board
of control. 1t is a matter Of his
tory that the majority of the board
belonged and belongs Yet to the
jackson Ring" But Mr.. Kin
cannon was in the minority by a
large majority. He probed the
matter, prepared his charges
against Warden Parchman, and
in Parchman's presence during
a meeting of the board preferred
those charges. Mr.. Kincannon
had a weakness for doing his
duty regardless of consequences.
Strange to say he stuck up to the
people and his oath, in the face
of. the "Jackson Ring" Another
popularity of Mr.. Klncannon is
the fact that he is constantly try
ing to have freight rates reduced.
Two years ago, single handed, he
fought for a reduction of rates on
corn, -four etc, and junction
points pro tied to the extent of
about $4,000 a car by his efforts
in this direction. 1t is sonserva-
lively estimated that while these
rates were in existence Clay coun-
ty alone was the gamer by 500.
0O0.0 Can the people Of Clay
afford to cast their balloGs for
any other man than Clate Kin
cannon for railroad commissio ner?
We think not. He has been test
ed and proved honest. Usually
in four years a railroad commits
sioner owns big delta farms and
has a big bank account. Mr..
kincannon is a poor man. He
has lived on his salary alone. He
has not worked "on the side" In
other words he is not a "boodler.
We had better re-elect him and
not run any chances.-Wes Point
Times.

Water Works.

The board Of Mayor and Alder
man of the City Of Tupelo, at its
last meeting, adopted measures to
Obtain, through the ms of an
election, the sense CT the citizens
Of the city, upon the question of
erecting waterworks and the is
suance of bonds to the value Of
sixty thousand dollars, for that
purpose. The bonds are to run
for twenty years and bear five per
cent. per annum interest.
The benefits to accrue to the
people from waterworks cannot be
over estimated. With a city of
the size of Tupelo, situated as it is,
they r a necessity. A bounti-
full supply of good water promotes
the public health and in many
ways conduces to the collective
and individual comfort of the PEG
pie. The city is growing very
rapidly and seems destined, at no
distant day, to develop into the
largest and most important manu-
featuring and commercial centre
pot in this part of the south.
With all such growing cities the
water supply is an engrossing
theme and is one which cannot be
pnt aside until plenty of water is
obtained. We have Outgrown
the artesian we'll. Our large and
increasing manufacturing inter.
ests, our rapidly growing mercan-
tile business and our fast spread
ing domestic demands, united, call
for more water and better facill-
ties for obtaining it.
The election, as will be seen by
notice Of the commissioners in an
other column, will be he'd on the
29th inst. This gives to every
voter ample time for consideration
of the subject. 1t is one which
each vOtel must settle for himself.
In the mean time it is open for
discussion and full and fire e
discussion of so important a mat
ter should be carried on in a frank
and friendly spirit.

Alfalfa.

Mr. J. w. Underwood, who
lives three miles west of Verona
and cultivates land lying on
Coonewar creek, has brought us
in a large handful of Alfalfa
grown by him. This specimen
was from the second cutting of
this years crop. We are glad
that Mr.. Underwood brought it to
us, for 1t gives us a subject to
write about which may be inter
esting to our farmer friends. We
desire to bring every thing before
them that is of value in the way
of charging the scope of their
operations.
Alfalfa is known in the west as
the most valuable and profitable
forage plant that can be grown.
1t is successfully grown upon the
arid lands of Colorado, New
Mexico and California and yields
wonderful crops. 1t grows very
rapidly and may be cut three or
four times in a season. 1t is the
richest in %nutriment of any known
forage plant and is relished by
every species of grazing animals.
Horses, cattle, hogs and sheep are
very fond CT it and thrive on it,
even when they have no other
TODD. 1t grows on lime lands best
and after careful seeding it takes
complete possession of the land
and allows no noxious pants to
e~ncroach upon it. We have large
areas of land adapted to its growth.
The hammocks that skirt our
prairies r. just suited to it's
wants. 1t enriches land rapidly.
The roots grow deep into the
earth and through them the rich
heterogeneous salts that restore
wasted fertility are distributed.
1t is a great plant and if our farm
ers would try small patches of it
they would ascertain enough
about its qualities to cause ther
to plant it largely.
Mr.. Underwood is going to en-
large his fields of it. In his ex-
periments he has succeeded be-
You'd his expectations and has es-
ia blished the practicability of
growing it in Lee county. 1t
would certainly prove Of great
value to our farmers and we trust
those Of them who have areas
adapted to it may experiment
with it. s
The Tupelo journal., 1903-05-15
White Cappers.

The trouble that the white cap
pers gave the authorities down in
the south western part of the state
last fall, has been practically set
tied by the judicious action of
Judge Robert Powell at the pres
ent term Of the Circuit Court or
Lincoln county. Fourteen of the
number charged with the offense
of running negroes out Of neigh
borhoods appeared before Judge
Powell and made 'private" con-
fession Of their guilt and promised
to go and sin no more if the Judge
would let them off this time. He
imposed a nominal fine upon
them and placed them each under
bond to bel ave themselves in the
future.
We have never attached as great
Importance to this matter as some
people have. We do not believe
that any number of white people
will thus associate themselves to-
gether in an enlightened commun-
ity and take the law in their
hands. Under the excitement
growing out of the preparation of
atrocious crimes mobs may be
formed and speedy punishment be
dealt out. But we do not think
that any number of men would
deliberately organize for the pur-
pose of running any sort of people
out of the country. Mobs are tenn
porary organizations aud are
formed for purpose that fits a
specific case. 1t was claimed that
these white cappers were banded
permanently together, in compact
organizations, for the purpose of
running all negroes out of the
country. We did not believe this
when the report first gained circu-
lation and do not believe it yet.
Be this as it may, Judge Powell
has found an easy way to dispose
of the matter. His treatment of
it shows that he does not think
the parties deserve severe punish
ment and the inference is that
there has been a great hullabaloo
raised on very little basis. There
was an effort made at the outset to
get the matter into the Federal
court. If it had gone there it
would have dragged its weary
length along, piling up costs for
hungry officials and giving the
north another excuse for consign-
ing Mississippi and all pertaining
to her to Halifax and other lower
regions.
