There is some complaint anent the
leaving out of the old blue back spell
ler by the school book commission. A
more serious matter was the adoption
of an arithmetic which is not at all
fair toward the South, even unfair,
and which uses in its Northern edi-
ton examples of social equality be-
tween the blacks and whites. While
the edition offered down here had the
social equality examples eliminated, i.
shows plainly what the publishers
would do if public sentiment would
allow it. More encouragement should
be given our southern writer's Of
school books and then it would not be
necessary to put UP with such.
Bury the kickerso is the text Of
the following sensible article from one
of our best exchanges:
"It is the duty of every progress
sive citizen to bride his sense of hui
manity and bury every kicker he
meets in the nearest sewer manhole
In the present spirit of the people we
are sure any jury would contsrue the
act as "self Defense" or at least jus
.tifable homicide Bury them deep
and stuff cotton in their ears so that
they would be deaf to any blast from
the trump of resurrection.
A gentleman who is in a position to
know, told the writer few days since
that Mississippi bought last year eight
million dollars worth Of mules, and
that of this amount Washington
county alone bought million and
half. Every mule used here should
be raised in the State and there is no
plausible excuse to offer for not do
ing so.
After a delay of some time the cleo
trio lights and water works have been
turned ON at Woodville and the good
citizens of that place can see how to
get around now without lanterns and
can battle their faces by simply turning
on the water. Both are great conyen-
fences that no aspiring city can afford
to be without.

The city Of Los Angeles, Califor.
mia, is said TO be about to COM
mence work on a project to pipe
water from the mountains of Inyo
county, u distance OF $50 miles in
order to procure an unlimited sup.
ply Of pure water for all future
needs Of that city. The project
will entail an expense Of 1913, 100000
The pipe line will cross deserts and
mountain ranges and 80 miles Of
tunnels will be required. The sys-
tenn when completed will be one Of
gravity, no pumping will be re-
quired. Condor should take a tip
from this report from the Califor-
MIA city and do some early figuring
on similar If very much smaller
proposition. A 25 mile pipe line,
over comparatively easy country,
would, it is claimed, bring on un-
limited supply of pure mountain
water to this town adequate to the
needs Of the town when it is five or
more times the size it is at present,
Condor needs more water just now
more than 1t needs anything else.
A gravity system is certainly worth
figuring on.
