County Teachers Association

On last Friday and Saturday. the
second bi-montfly meeting of the
Greene County Teacher S Association
was held. And Notwithstanding the
fact that TIE program had not reached
the hands of the teachers, the sue
cess of the meeting surpassed the
most sanguine expectations.
In behalf of the town of Leakes-
vile, and the Executive Committee
of the Association. Mr.. Y. D. Yves
terfeld made the welcome address.
Speaking in well chosen words of the
heritage that was ours of the TWEEN
tieth century as the result of the in
ftlence of Education, and of our con
.sequent duty and obligation; he pro-
voked hearty response on the part
of the members, by Sup't. Fergu-
son, delivered in his happy style and
well selected expressions.
In President Williams address, he
spoke briefly and pointedly of the
work of the Association. His mes
sage, pregn mt with ideas, was re-
ceived by eager ears, and his peril
nent remarks, concerning the spe-
cific individual responsibility and
power Of each teacher, called forth
hearty applause.
The regular work of the meeting.
beginning Friday afternoon and con-
tinuing through Saturday, consisted
of practical questions, problems, and
methods, on the studies of Arithme
tic, Grammar, Agriculture, Missis-
sippi and United States History.
And so skilfully was the work ma
nipulated, that the entire session
was highly entertaining as well as
instructive and profitable. In the
business meeting, by unanimous vote.
the Association ordered the Secretary
to extend an invitation to Sup't.
Curry of Perry County to be pres
cnt at the next regular meeting In
April, when it is hoped every teacher
of the county will be on hand to aid
and be helped in turn. These meet
ings are intended to be, and are to
those who attend them, vitalizing,
educating, quickening force ANNA
ting the teachers, and through them,
also reaching the people generally.
Then let each one make it matter
OF first Importance. For Sup't. Fer
guson said in his closing remarks to
the teachers that he would make the
matter of at enhance. to a certain |
extent, a business proposition so that
no teacher need hesitate to make
every effort possible to be present.
Receipt for the membership fee of
one dollar may be had by sending the
amount OF fee to the Secretary. The
Association adjourned until next
regular meeting, the 10Th and 21st
Of april.

WHAT WAS IT9

1t is the policy of this paper, a
basal principle to which it partially
owes its acquired prestige: to Speak
Out in Company, where wrong do
ing that concerns the public veal
comes under our observation. Such
an occurrence happened in Leakes-
vile last Friday. Not to mince
words or evade paming the party in
question, would state much to our
regret, that Railroad Commissioner
McNair showed himself to be drunk
here that day A man holding a
commission from Mississippi for one
of the highest gifts at her hands,
and sworn and qualified to look after
her interests, to be publicly discov-
cred in such humiiating condition IS
indeed deplorable and sad fact.
Time was in Mississippi when wills
key-soaked officialdom was winked
al, but thanl. God, that day has
passed never to return. We shall
not undertake to say that the r. r..
visit to inspect that part of the A. &
NJ. R. r., lying in Mississippi soil,
and ascertain if that transportation
Co., was properly performing its du-
ties and privileges as a common car
rier--we hope he was not, for if so
and there was any need for such an
official visit, then the will of his en-
ployer the State of Mississippi was
defeated or more caustically but
plainly speaking, defrauded If he
disclaims that as the mission upon
which he came, its inferential that his
rundown to this remote hamlet of
all his district-he did not even visit
it in making his -eainpdign-was sim
ply journey down in Utopia to en-
JOY a respite from the strenuous cap
ital city life, and incidentally to
work off the long end of delayed
jag. AS booze artist we pronounce
him a success. AS an Utopian of
Utopia, we should be allowed to have
our say, about the fellows that comes
down inter us. So howsoever Mr..
McNair may account for his Leakes
vile trip, we are entitled to our opin-
ion; as paper with back bone and
moral stamina we have said il, but
before leaving the subject, would
eodicil our remarks by stating that
its our opinion, a committee should
be appointed by the Governor to i'll
quire into the gentleman S conduct,
and if found that this is heretofore
eleverly hidden but a growing failing
with him, then that he be impeached
for malfeasance of his Office, and a
man worthy of the trust be placed in
his stead.
The exercise of charitable tolerance
could be accorded if it was the first
and unwilling fall, but was it? We
sincerely hope SO. We have too
much sympathy with the frailties of
mankind to be anything but grieved
to see anyone fall, but we are unal-
terably impressed with the convic-
ton that the weak brother should be
detached from position over his fell
bowman. If it can be shown that
this article does Mr.. McNair any in
Justice, we would be only too glad to
make amends but how it could i in
conceivable to us.
