the old time baseball players. A
terrific burning sizzer came
his way in game one day. He
impeded its progress, but he might

that of the able state superintendent
this state has had, and he never
loses an opportunity to advance the
cause of education and bring the
system to point of higher efficiency.
The following coming from Charles

EsFor the first time in the history
of the free school system of this

of every pupil in the state at the
close of the term of school and the
grade which the pupil is entitled to
enter mt the beginning of the next

out bv the State Superintendent to
the various county superintendent
and it is the duty of teachers to sup
ply themselves with them by apply

nation there and name some of the
things that are essential TO Bridge

From the number of applicants
taking examinations in the various
professions, it would seem that
special education and training are
not tagging behind in this state, and
this is fact we'll worth noticing
along with the daily mention of in
dustrial and commercial progress.
In our rush forward in eommerc"
and industry it is best not to over
look what grand things are being
done in education. Tt would be
only Just to comment more freely
in an encouraging manner on the
work of the schools and teachers, and
pursuit after wealth should not cause
MS to forget the schools and that
education that prepares for the
duties of life.

THE OPENING OF
THE COTTON BOLLS

The greater portion of our
readers in the north and west
understand but, little of the sig
nifcance which the announce
ment, THE cotton is beginning
to open!' has for the people of
the great cotton producing states.
What the abundant filing of
the heads of golden grain in the
the great northwest, and the
ripening of the splendid ears of
corn in the corn producing states
signifies to the inhabitants of
each respective section, the OPEN
ing of the ripened bolls of the
fleecy staple means to the people
of the cotton belt.
It signifies that the crop has
passed safely through the dan
gers of drouth, excessive moist
ure, insect destruction or other
damaging elements, and that an
abundant yield is assured this
season in this blest section of the
great cotton belt.
It guarantees prosperity to
ali classes of people in the South
for another season, for in a few
/ weeks the planters will begin to
market millions of dollars worth
of the product, and with the
price above the 10c mark, the
grower will be amply compen-
stated for his labor.
Cotton is opening and soon the
picking" will begin.
Hurrah for King Cotton! We
are all his loyal subjects.

MOUNTING RAPIDLY
Awful Condition Of People IN
Many Of the Great
Northern Cities.

New York, July 19.-No relief
but rather a promise of more
heat, and even greater suffering.
came to New York today. Even
with every park in the city
thrown wide open and with prac-
tically every restriction removed.
hundreds of thousands have been
unable to escape the severest suf-
fering. Yesterday, with nearly
two score of deaths and ten times
as many serious heatprostrations
officially reported taxed the facil-
tiles Of ever hospital and like IN
stitutions in the city. Ambu-
lance surgeons, drivers and
horses, worn down by the terrl-
BILE heat and the strain of inces-
SAINT work, were completely ex-
hausted. The horses gave out
earlier than the men, and COM
paratively early it became neces-
sary to press police wagons into
service as temporary ambulanes.
Then the hospitals became filled
to their capacity, and several
were forced to announce that no
more sufferers could be received.
Although many thousand tene-
ment dwellers availed themselves
of the opportunity given by the
open park to sleep in the outer
air, there were many more that
could not leave their homes in the
parched and sweltering lower
section of the city. 1t was from
that section that the first report
of deaths due to the heat came to-
day. Before 7 a. m. five fatalities
had been reported. Two of the
victims fell from windows, where
they had been sleeping. The
others died directly from heat
exhaustion.
Official figures given out by
the government weather bureau
today show that the lowest tenn
perature recorded during the
last 81 hours was at 6 o'clock this
morning. The government
thermometers stood at 76 at that
hour, having fallen on an average
of one degree an hour during the
night. From that time on, how
ever, it began to rise, reaching
"a at 9 o'clock.
The death roll, due to excess
sive heat, increased rapidly to-
day, seventeen deaths being re-
ported near the forenoon. At
II o'clock the weather bureau re-
ported the tenn perature to be 9l
degrees.
