AS quite number of inquiries have
been received in regard to the summer

bent upon those having the matter III

to all those through whose willing
efforts such remarkable success was
attained. Nothing like it has ever
been held in the county. 1t quickened
educational interest as nothing else
could have done and those who helped
to make it success have the supreme
satisfaction of knowing that they have
contributed toward the upbuilding of
the county. Those having the imme-
date management of the matter desire
most sincerely to return thanks to the
generous and hospitable people Of
Brandon. Their hospitality Twas as

ever that girls are to contest against
girls and boys against boys. Minute
instructions will be issued later CON
corning the beat contests. Committee
will also be appointed to select the
contestants, both girls and boys.
Now is the time for those intending
to enter the contest to get down to

GLASS BY MACHINERY.

A great invention by a young
MissiSsippian, Eugene Norrell Bald
win, grandson of the late Jesse S.
Norrell, of Rankin county.-Clari-
on Ledger March 10, 1908.
The glass blowers of the country
are very much concerned over the
announcement that glass is to be
made by machinery, and well they
may be, as it will throw a large
number of the highest-priced arti-
saus in the world out of employ
ment. Behind this announcement
that glass is to be made by ma
chinery is a story of interest to
Mississippi. For thousand years
or ever since glass was made, the
process has been by hand, and
even now, all the glass used in the
world is made in that way. The
process has been in that way.
The process is slow and costly, as
a matter of course.
WO or three years ago Mr.. Eu-
gene Baldwin, son of Hon. E. E.
Baldwin. lawyer and farmer of
Bolton, this county, was assistant
engineer in Jackson, but resigned
his position to accept more lucra-
tive place with the Carnegie Steel
Company, or some other big con-
Germ of that character, at Johnston,
Pa. Here he formed acquaintance
that admitted him to all the big
manufacturing concerns of that sec
ton, and among them was a glass
factory at or near the city of Pitts
burg. Mr.. Baldwin was gradu-
ate of Ann Harbor, Michigan, and
of very inquiring term OF. mind.
He watched the process of making
glass and said to the proprietor that
that he was going to see what he
could do in the way of devising a
machine that would turn out a
score or more sheets of glass to one
under his process. The proprietor
gave him every assistance, put up
the money for the model, and in
due course Of time a trial was
made in secret, and the mechine
was found to do just what it was
expected to do. Mr.. Baldwin and
his new found friend hasrened to
washington and patented the ma
chine before anybody else knew
that such an Gnvention) vas
dreamed of. Companies with
abundant capital have been formed,
the machines for making glass are
being built as fast as possible, and
the Mississippi boy (bids fair to
become one of the multi-mlllionaires
of the country.)
No matter where you drop a
Mississippian he lights on his feet.

Deputy Sheriff Morris requests The
News to state that the names of Wal
ker and Mcleod and .E. D. Robbins
appear enormously on the delinquent
list. Mr.. Robbins was not in the
county last year and Walker and
Mcleod were double assessed.
Senator Price, of Dobson, was in
town yesterday. He did not honor us
with call, but we understand that
he will yield to the solicitation of his
friends and announce for the senate
next week. We are in receipt of sew
eral calls for him this week, but on
account of the crowded condition of
our columns and the fact that he has

D. M. Robbins was here. Monday
and requested the News to state that
the people would be glad to hear from

people are entitled to the views of the
candidates respecting it. The columns
of this paper are open for an expression
OF their views in brief way.

prominent citizens of the Lynwood

under u government Is the real cor
receive force. AS to those corporations
which are engaged in transportation,
satisfactory remedies will not be found
until some governmental agency be es-
tablished which can directly put its
hand upon rates, enforcing reasonable
standards, and the decision Of what is
reasonable involves full official informa-
ton as to actual capital invested, income
and outgo, and many other similar
points. The like information is equally
essential as to all corporations, trusts
and combinations which operate in more
or less restraint Of trade.
1t is noteworthy that Chairman Knapp,
while deprecating publicity, does not
propose in it's stead any other means
for subjecting corporations to efficient
public regulation. If there is one thing
the necessity of which the people of
this country are agreed upon it is this,
and it is certainly incumbent on those
who object to publicity to point out as
good or a better way.
