CURRENCY NOT ELASTIC ENOUGH

New York, Jan. 5.--Unless there is cur
rency reform, panic, beside which for
mer panics will seem as mere child's
play, was predicted by Jacob schiff, head
OF the banking firm OF Kuhn. Loeb and
company in a remarkable speech before
the New York Chamber OF Commerce yes
tcrday
Mr. schiff said he did not regard such
a panic as imminent now, but believed IT
will come unless something is done to
remedy for lack Of elasticity Of the
present currency system.
He declared that he did not favor the
plans proposed by Secretary OF the Treas
ury Shaw for the relief OF the situation,
IL being his opinion that the secretary 5
plan would aid speculation rather than
legitimate business Mr.. Schin favored
a currency based on commercial paper
as more helpful 10 the general business
interests of the country.
The speech created a sensation in finan-
cial circles and caused a sharp break in
prices on the stock exchange.
The meeting Of the chamber was at
tended by a large number OF business
men and financiers. and the address was
generally indorsed by those present. A
resolution on the subject offered by Mr..
Schin was unanimously adopted
my remarks were dictated simply by
the conviction that something must be
done TO correct our inelashc currency
system, if We are not 10 run I'm time into
great disaster We are trying to play
the role Of giants while still in our swad-
ding clothes.
"If the president could be made TO see
that this Is a question OF vastly more
Importance 10 the material interests OF
the country than that OF railroad rate leg
islation. to which he has devoted himself
with such admirable energy. Congress
would soon set 10 work 10 remedy our
circulation evil I'm a manner which would
safeguard our prosperity"

Lecture Course.

The Board of Trustees of the Scoo-
ba High School, in conjunction with
a number of our most enterprising
citizens, has arranged with the Dixie
Lyceum Bureau for a series of lee
lures, etc., to be given at the Acad-
envy this spring.
The first of these will be a lecture
by Dr.. Briggs, on the night of Tues
day, March 18th; the second, a lee
ture by the Rev. Sam.P. Jones, on
the night of the 18th of April; and
in May (date not yet decided on) a
musical entertainment will be given
by the Otterbein Male Quartette.
Admission to any one of these en-
tertainments will be $1.00, while a
course ticket good for the three)
will be sold at $3.50. They can be
obtained at Eastland's drug store.
These entertainments are all of a
high order, and will prove both in
teresting and instructive. The gen
tlemen interested in securing the
course for our people should have a
hearty financial support, and it is
hoped that so much interest will be
manifested that they will be encour-
aged to further effort in this direc-
ton in the future.

Notice to Teachers.

We hope that all of Kemper's
teachers will be present at the
Teachers Association which meets
at DeKalb, Saturday, March Ord.
We want to get our library on foot
at that time, and it is very necessary
that every teacher should be on
hand. Other counties have libra
ries, and why not Kemper.
If you cannot come without MAX
ing a small sacrifice, make the sac
rifice and come. 1t is very probable
your being present will add some
thing to your salary.
And / insist on those on the pro-
gram being present, without fail.
Let us endeavor to meet as early
as 10 O'Clock.
Please remember that everybody
is cordially invited, and we hope to
have the Courthouse filled to over
flowing with people who are inter
ested in building up our schools and
making them what they should be.
Very truly yours,

Something About Eggs,

AZLa
The everyday world is full of Won
derful things, yet when you give a
moments thought to an egg-well,
o chemist would tell you 1t contains
so much proteid. phosphoric acid
and iron. But one should think of
it as a
Treasure house, wherein lie
Locked by angels alchemy
Milk and hair and blood and bone.
An egg contains in concentrated
form everything that is required to
develop a chicken, and it can be
cooked in SO many different ways
that it is palatable as well a. digest
ible. That is why eggs are chief
among the foods allowed an invalid.
Though chemists have tried for u
hundred years to discover it, Moth
ing IN science or in all our wide va
riety of foods can be transformed
into a substitute for eggs. OF course
one could, if necessary, cook with
out them, only it would mean going

Of as everyday necessities, such as
custards, cake, buildings, griddle-
cakes, to say nothing of the album
dant use of what we might call
purely egg dishes.-From THE De-

The School Entertainment.

The unanimous opinion of those
fortunate enough to be present at
the entertainment at the Scooba
Academy on Thursday night of last
week, was that it was a brilliant
success. The marching, speaking
and singing by the pupils of the
| Scooba High School showed the most
thorough and pains-taking drilling
on the part of their instructors, and
was almost perfect.
The exhibitions of instrumental
music by members of Miss Bessie
Dukes class, We're exceptionally
fine and reflected great credit on
that young lady as a teacher.
The Academy chapel, in which
the entertainment was made, was
tastefully and appropriately deco
rated for the occasion with flags and
bunting, and Inscriptions suggestive
of the day. The young lady teach
ers labored faithfully and hard to
make the affair the success it was
and they deserve much credit.
Where all did so well, it would be
folly for us to attempt to single out
any for particular mention; if, at
the close of the present term, all
will prove to have done as well in
their studies as they did in this lit
tie entertainment, the patrons of the
school will have good reason to con-
graduate themselves on the lucky
stroke of fate which placed their
children undor the tutelage of Miss
Lester. Miss Cone and Miss Adams.
