The Columbus weekly dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 1902-1905, 1905-06-01

Those who read the newspa-
pers and who are conversant
with the current literature of
the day cannot help but be i'm
pressed with the opinion that
the year 1905 promises to be an
epoch making one ia the history
of education in this fair south
land of ours. Never in the his
tory of the South nor in the his
tory of the United States has a
more genuine spirit of revival in
the educational world swept over
the country than has been
sweeping oyer both North and
South the past three months.
The movement began in Vir-
ginia and Mr.. Aldermen, who
was recently inaugurated as the
fir S president of the Univer-
sity of Virginia, addressed an
educational conference held
sometime in April, and from
that has sprung conferences of
more or less magnitude all over
the South Probably the great
est of them all was recently held
at Columbia, S. c., and was ad-
dressed by such men as Gov.
Hayward. President Denny. of
Washington and Lee University,
and the Hon. Seth Low, of New
York. These conferences aim at
the betterment of educational
conditions generally in the South,
but the conclusions reached by
all of them were that a reform of
three cardinal points was needed
all over the South, namely: the
lengthing of the school term, in
the country districts more es-
pecially; the consolidation of
schools in the sparsely settled
districts, with the consequent
employment of better corps of
teachers and the improvement of
school ground, and property.
and if necessary, public trans
portation for THOSE not conven-
iently situated; and the introduce
ton into the course of study of
some of the industrial arts, etc.
Now this is just as urgent a
need IN Mississippi as in Virgin
la or South Carolina or anywhere
else, and tits for this reason that
we have tried to get the people
interested in b is question
through this department. and
after consulting with quite a
mum Der of the patrons of the
different schools in the Caledon-
Ia neighborhood, it was decided
to have an educational rally al
Caledonia on June the 29th, and

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by OIL infamed con.

Eustachain Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.

Young Washingtonians Repeat the
Criticisms Caught from Their

the day was June-like; bird was sing

there was an armistice.

CARPENTERS WIFE IN LUCK.
Father Who Abandoned Her as a Baby
Leaves Her $5oo,ooo.

Pittsburg, May 3O.-A fortune of
$500,000 awaits Mrs. Annie Becker,
wife Of August Becker, a carpenter,
living at 205 Revona street, Glcnwood
this city The German consul at
Philadelphia has been searching many
months for Mrs. Becker to inform her
of her good luck.
Twenty-three years ago q son of
Philip Vortisch of Williamsburg found
a girl baby lying in his fathers field.
He told his mother, and Mrs. Vortisch
took the baby, which was almost
frozen and nearly dead from exposure,
to her home and nursed it back to
life.
Ten days later Mrs. George Stein
appeared at the Vortisch home and
offered to adopt the baby. The infant
was given to Mrs. Stein. She was
named Annie, and her younger days
were spent without any knowledge
that she was other than the daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Stein. When she was
married three years ago to August
Becker, however, the story of her
babyhood was told her Nobody ever
knew who her parents were.
Several days ago a representative
of the German consul at Philadelphia
visited Justice of the Peace S. ].
Creelman of Williamsburg. He was
searching for the child who had been
abandoned years before Creelman
had been reporter on a local news
paper at that time, He located Mrs.
Becker Then the consul's represen.
tative told the woman that her father
in Germany, whose name he withheld,
had died and left a fortune of half
million dollars. He had explicitly ex
planned how he abandoned the child
twenty-three years ago
