The defeat of the bill intro
duced in the house authorizing
the governor to appoint the
school-book commission whose
duty it shall be to select text
books for the public schools OF the
state at the expiration of the
present contract five years hence
was a just rebuke to those who
are disposed to give to the pres
ent governor the privilege OF
making too many appointments.
Governor Vardaman appointed
the present commission and it is
absurd to ask the legislature to
authorize him to appoint a COM
mission whose duties could not
begin until three years after the
governors term has expired.
The appointive power should be
restricted instead of enlarged
and the over-zealous friends of
the governor should not forget
the rights of the people in their
efforts to serve him.

Noble Souls, They We're

No noble souls ever trod the
earth than the earlier patriots of
the South. They were the heart
the soul rnd courage of the try
ing days of the Republic. They
were those who pledged their
lives, their fortunes and their
lives their fortunes and their
sacred honor to the cause OF
freedom. And they were solid
in the pledge and execution. 1t
was in these heroic days that the
South begin its process in sol
idarity in high minded purpose
and though hedged about by a
less sensible people, this union
of heart has survived indisscluble.
It was submitted to outrages un-
der overwhelming force which
cemented rather than crushed it's
union. One need only read the
history of the South. If he has
not lived there, to learn why it
is solid, other than it's respect
for TRADITIONAL virtues.
The Southerners began their
career in gentility and manly
sentiment. To this advantage
we add tropical sun which warm
ed their hearts, sensitized char
acter and fastened the flowing
of the blood, no less than does
the absence Of the sun in Grinnel
Land freeze the genial currents
of character there.
They were solid in their hap
piness, they were solid in their
adversely, a sort of sublimated
solidity, and they are solid yet.

4 Mothers Prayer.

God bless and keep my little boy,
Guard body and guide mind:
Mix not his gold with base alloy
Dross of the worldly kind.
Oh, lay on me the care and pain!
Spare him a little while;
The heartsease ne'er will spring again
Which blooms now in his smile.
Roll not the years too fast, 0 God!
fame would longer keep
This tousled head which now doth nod
Finding the way to sleep.
And let not time with foot roughshod
My few small charms destroy;
For there be years to come, O God!
When / must woo my boy.
Lend sweetness to his mothers voice
To charm his critic ear;
For siren songs will court his choice
As manhood draweth near
Only the tender years are mine
All, stretch their shortening span;
Yet if / must my charge resign.
Make him, o God, a Man!

Drainage of Earth Roads

Mexico Ledger.
Drainage is the most important
matter to be considered in either
the construction or the mainten-
ancc of any form of road, since
no road, whether earth, gravel
or broken stone, can long remain
good without it. Drainage alone
will often change a bad earth
road to a good one, while the best
stone road may be destroyed by
the absence of proper drainage.
Water is the natural enemy of
earth roads, for mixed with earth
it makes mud, and mud makes
bad going. The rain or snow
softens the earth; the horses
feet and the wagon wheels mix
and knead it; and soon the road
becomes impossible mud, which
the frost finally freezes, and
the second state of the road is
worse than the frst-for a time
at least. Further, If the water
is allowed to course down the
middle Of the road it will wash
away the earth and leave gullies
in the surface that must be lab
oriously filled UP by traffic or re-
pairs. No road, however well
made otherwise, can endure if
water collects or remains on it.
and thorough drainage
is a vital essential in all road
construction, and particularly
for earth roads.
A perfectly drained road will
have three systems of drainage
each of which mustreceive special
attention if the best results are
TO be obtained. This is true
whether the trackway be iron,
broken stone, gravel or earth,
and it is emphatically true Of
earth. These three systems are:
~, drainage; (2), side bitches,
and (3), surface drainage.

The weather Of the past week
has been the severest we have
experienced in this section at the
season of the year for some time.
The rain in portions of the state
has wrought much damage to
both railroads and dirt roads and
for several days travel has been
greatly impeded. The weather
has almost stopped farm work
which was progressing well be-
fore the present spell set in. The
damage to fruit, gardens and
berries has been great and it now
seems that we are to have an
other year without a crop of
peaches and berries.
