should talk with the president and
Secretary Taft. Soon afterwards Sc.

lasting some time. Senior Mera did

Clinton Normal.

To any one inquiring into the eter-
nal fitness of things you would unhes-
itatingly say that the Clinton Normal
has in the equation Of economical ex-
istence a real and substantial fitness
in the educational improvement of
those who have had the stamina and
earnestness of purpose TO go through
the entire term of four weeks. Even
to casual observer this Normal for
cibly stands for several important
benefits in Mississippi's school inter
ests. First, there has been an ear
nestness on the part of the students
that has manifested itself in good sol
id work and decided improvement.
Secondly, there has been displayed a
sterling integrity which guarantees to
the parents Of the future citizens of
our state that due attention will be
paid to the formation of noble charac-
ter without which no state can hope
to rise to its best.

HAPPENINGS
IN MISSISSIPPI
ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM ALL
SECTIONS.
AN EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Culled From the Important Happen
ings Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed in
Brief.

Jackson, Miss.-A lively local SEN
satieri was sprung here by the an
nouncement that oil had been struck
almost in the heart Of the city by d
force of w6rkmen who are digging
well. The repNrt became current, and
was soon in circulation generally all
over the town. An Investigation re-
veals the fact that there is some foun-
dation for the story, and that g oil -
undoubtedly has been struck in well
at North and Mississippi streets
within q block of the old Capitol
grounds, though as yet it is not pos
sible to say whether there is any flow
of oil anywhere in that vicinity.
The place where the well is dug is
part Of the property owned by the
State of Mississippi and originally
reserved as site for a term of years
to Brown Bros, livery men Of this
city. While excavating for the well
the workmen noticed a decided oder
Of petroleum and soon the soil began
to grow soggy with oil. All sorts of
tests were made with the clay taken
from the we'll and that it has oil in it
is established beyond all question.
The lease proprietors are still digging
further and the deeper they go the
more wet with oil the ground becomes.
They will continue to dig and in the
meantime an expert will be asked to
come here and investigate the well
and the find.
Crowds Of curious people visited
the well, which is only block from
State street, and if flow of oil should
develop in the well, the lid will be
pushed entirely off of real estate val:
ues in these parts. The city is already
enjoying a healthy and robust boom
which promises to last for many years
to come, andthis growth is normal
and due to natural advantages as a
railroad center, but to find oil flowing
right down under the handsomest and
most valuable business blocks and
business sites in the city will start
something lively without doubt.
In the meantime everything is
quietly awaiting developments with
feeling that it is too good to be true.

Baptist Convention.

The Baptist State Convention at
Tlpelo was one of the most success
full ever held, although the attend
ance was not so large as it would have
been had the meeting place been more
centrally located. The convention
heartily endorsed the action of the
Board of Trustees of Mississippi Col
lege in authorizing President Lowrey
to take the field to raise a building
fund of $4,000, to make improve
ments in the buildings and equipment
of the college. Great interest and en-
thusiasm was shown in the discussion
of the college question and the dis
cussion showed that the question of
higher education has warm place
in the hearts of Mississippi Baptists.
The orphanage was also heartily en-
dorsed, and Dr. Carter's administra-
ton was warmly approved. The en-
largement of the plant finds ready
response in the minds of its many
friends and supporters.
