Educational Conference.

Indications are good for a large
attendance at the educational con-
ference to be held in Jackson on the
10th of December pursuant to a call
issued by the State superintendent.
In a large number of counties the
local teachers associations have
named delegates, and in counties
where no associations are in exist
ence the county superintendent
will appoint delegates to attend the
conference. The rural school sys-
tenn will be the principal topic of
discussion at the gathering, and it
is expected that at least $50 promi-
nent educators will be present. The
sessions will be held in representa-
tive hall.

Mississippi State News
eatherlna Force as II Goes.

The good roads movement contin-
ues to gather force in this State,
and the contract system is in the
next few years destined to supplant
entirely the present system of COM
mutation work in vogue in a major
ity of the counties. No long ago
Yazoo county voted to work its pub
lie roads. by contract, and a few days
ago a proposition was submitted to
the voters Of Clarke county to work
the public roads by contract, and it
carried overwhelmingly. The Off
cial returns show that COS electors
voted in favor of the change, while
1928 voted against it. The people Of
Mississippi have about reached the
conclusion that the only way they
can get roads is to work them in q
business-like manner by contract.
Probably one-third of the counties
in the State are now working theip
roads by contract, and during the
next year there will be many more.

Reward offered.

County and municipal authorities
throughout Mississippi have been
notified that a reward Of $3.50 will
be paid for the arrest of Nathaniel
Smith, a negro who attempted to
murder his wife at DuBard Station,
about eight miles west of Grenada,
on the night of October 26 last.
The attempted crime was of a very
.dastardly nature, and the relatives
of Smiths wife have contributed
the reward to be paid for his ar
rest. He is a coal black negro, five
feet ten inches in height, weight 100
pounds, clean shaven, left arm off
near elbow and about 20 years of
age. He was formerly a school
teacher, and has served a term in
the penitentiary.

Mississippi Was Thankful.

Thanksgiving Day was more gen.
orally observed last week than ever
before in the history of Mississippi.
The State had turkeys to spare. The
year has been a dry one, and the
farmers had good luck with these
birds, as also with their crops of ALI
kinds, and there were few families
in Mississippi who failed to have
an extra good dinner on the gath.
The concensus of opinion was that
the grand old State had a great deal
to be thankful for-even if Parker
was defeated.

No Tax on CIairvoyants.

An apparent omission in Missis-
sippi's privilege tax law was devel-
oped last week. A letter was re-
ceived from a party at Natchez in
curing the amount of privilege tax
required for c~lairvoyants, and an
examination of the last session acts
shows that no tax was levied on this
class Of business, although fortune
~tellers are required to pay a 500
tax in each county, which would
make the municipal tax $50. But
%clairvoyants could hardly be classed
as fortune telllers, although it is Of
the same species of humbuggery.

COOPERATIVE Laundries.

Owing to the difficulties encoun-
tered by families in securing wash
erwomen the cooperative laundry
system is assuming much popular
ity in the State. Plans are on foot
at Columbus, Hazlehurst, Starkville
and several other points to establish
laundries that will make a speciality
of family washing, and as the
amount required to establish a plant
of this kind is comparatively small
many communities in the State will
soon be Independent Of the negro

Pension Warrants.

Warrants for the annual distribu-
ton of the pension fund, amount
ing to $250,000, have been sent out
from the auditors office, and near
ly all the counties have drawn their
money from the treasury. Owing
to the increase of appropriation and
decrease in the number of pension
ers this year, the non-preferred
classes will fare better than ever be-
fore, and the INDECENT ex-Confeder-
ates will receive enough money from
the State to allow them to celebrate
Christmas in a proper manner.

Cotton Gin Losses.
Nine cotton gin fires occurred in

Nine cotton gin fires occurred in
Mississippi during the week just
closed, the aggregate losses being
placed at nearly $4,000. Some of
the gin fires were due to careless
ness, but in a majority of instances
they resulted from the extremely
dry weather. Many sections Of the
State are badly in need of rain, and
conditions are fast approaching
those prevailing during the long
drouth of September and October.

Mental Jaundice.

A new disease, or at least q new
name for an old disease, has been dis
covered by a noted brain specialist Of
London. 1t Is mental jaundice. Wor-
rying over tribes is one cause. Greed,
pride and prejudice are others. What
ever the cause, the effect is to make
ours with discomfort and to find con-
tinual fault with our fellow travellers
toward the grave, writes Robert Web
ster Jones. in q recent number of the
Housekeeper. Let a person once be-
come infected with this disease" says
tn specialist, land nothing but the
most rigorous measures will effect q
cure. believe mental jaundice Is on
the increase, especially among the up
per classes. It is the source of more
unhappiness, to the patient as we'll as
to those about him, than almost any
other disease. Physical jaundice pro-
duces yellowness of skin, which, after
a while, becomes yellowness Of the
eyes. This produces a condition Of
the eye which makes the patient see
everything yellow. Mental jaundice
is analogous. Its victim sees nothing
In its true colors or proportions. Ev-
erything is distorted by his diseased
mental condition"
What is the remedy? The specialist
does not say, but it may be assumed
that the cure rests almost wholly with
the patient. Optimism may be made a
habit IS we'll Is pessimism. 1t is we'll
within ones power to open the win
dows of his soul and let in the sun
shine. Cheerfu1ness produces both
mental and physical health. Let us
avoid getting into that condition
which invites mental jaundice. It is
best combated by a smile on the face
and a song In the heart.

Many New Residences.

Jackson's remarkable building
growth continues to attract much
attention. During the past six
weeks the permits for new resi-
dences alone to be erected within the
corporate limits were twenty-one in
number, representing an aggregate
investment of nearly 100000. The
actual amount invested during the
period is at least 30 per cent larger,
as many new residences are under
way for which permits have not yet
been secured, owing to negligence of
contractors. The figures do not in
clude any business structures.
