LACK Of HIGH

What will the lads and the lassies

of the many knotty propositions the
school Department is striving to solve
Before the catastrophe there were five
public preparatory schools. Now there
are only two fit for habitation. and

cial High are things of the past, and
according to the report of the experts,
the magnificent Girls High School at
the corner of Geary and Scott streets
is rent from top TO bottom and, cracked
beyond repair. At the last meeting of
the board of directors of the Board of
Education it was decided TO allow the
girls of the Girls High School partial
use of the adjoining Hamilton Gram
mar School This seemed to take a
load off the shoulders of the board, but
today superintendent Roncovieri de-
clares: 'It would not be right for
high school to gsurp the privileges of
a grammar school. | don't see how
the matter can be adjusted along those
lines" This would seem to indicate
that the girls will have to look further
for accommodations. Lowell will un-

Everything connected with the Poly
technic has gone%to feed the. flames,
and Roncovieri has written to the Sutro
heirs to see what is to be done and
also to the regents of the University
of California with the idea of locating
the institution temporarily in the Af-
filiated Colleges.
Mission High was not damaged to
any appreciable extent by the quake
and will be able to resume its func-
tions. The Commercial High School
had a small attendance in comparison
to the other high schools, but per-
formed an important duty in the edu-

suffered, the free private preparatory
schools are intact The California

the Potrere, was unharmed. as the
buildings had been planned to with

WRITES ABOUT THE
RACE PROBL EN-
Letter From John Sharp Williams to The
immigration and Industrial Conference.

A special from Nashville says: ::
One of the features of today 9
session of the Southern Immi-
grafton and Industrial Confer
ence, was a letter from John
Sharp Williams, minority leader
in Congress and candidate for
United States Senator.
Mr.. Williams handled the ques-
ton in his usual brilliant style,
and expressed the belief that the
solution of the race question
might be found in a concerted eff
fort to bring VIII te people of the
sort into the South as servants,
tenants and farmers. He advo-
Gated the formation of q land
company with d capital of at
least 81, ZOO, 900, to buy lands
throughout the Cotton States and
sell them on time to desirable i'm
migrants. A hopeful sign, Mr..
Williams letter read, is the fact
that the negro birth rate in
the country is decreasing very
remarkably, while the birth rate
of the white people in the Gulf
States is the largest anywhere in
the world. Mr.. Williams recon-
mended the establishment of a
mounted rural police after the
Cape Colony system.

TRYING To CUT UP
FALLEN TIMBER
Saw Mill Men Putting FOria Every EffG
To Save Valuable Trees.

A special from Jackson, Miss,
says:
: Fully 100000 worth of porta-
ble saw mill machinery has been
sold in the southern part of the
state during the past thirty days,
and the lumber manufacturers
are putting forth herculean ef-
forts to convert the timber blown
down during the equinoctical
storm into marketable lumber.
The greater portion of the port
able machinery purchases have
been made by the syndicates
owning large forest tracts. The
mills vary in capacity from 5000
to 10000 feet per day, and will
be moved from place to place
converting the fallen timber into
shape for market.
By this methop and also stor-
ing many of the fallen trees in
ponds, the lumbermen hope tc
save the greater portion of the
damaged forestrs-~ This means
that there will be a period Of phe-
nominal activity in the pine for
ests during the next six months,
and that the timber owners are
more interested in saving the
trees than in marketing the lum-
Der.
One syndicate has purchased
twenty five portable mills and is
scattering the machinery over a
tract of nearly a half million
acres. This has increased the
demand for labor, and there is
not a section of the union today
that presents scene of gr eater
industrial activity than South
Mississippi.
Unless the fallen timber is
saved before the ensuing summer
it will be greatly damaged by
worms, and this is the chief ause
Of the phenomenal activity being
displayed. Some manufacturers
are not inclined to believe the
worm theory, but they are ex-
ceedingly busy just the same,
and show disinclination to take
any risks.

Tree Bushes When i
Rains.

Among the many wonders OF
the vast Florida swamps there is
nothing more surprising than the
blushing tree. This tree is not
common. 1t is only found in the
densest thickets of those inter-
minable marshes whose luxuri-
Gus vegetation is a revelation to
explorers. It actually bushes
when the rain falls upon it.
This phenomenon at first seems
incomprehensible. 1t never fails
to astound those who zee it for
the first .time. The mysterious
and beautiful glow of color which
it assumes in a rainstorm battles
description. The Seminole In
dians, who once ruled Florida,
have always known of the tree,
and have, in their musical Ian
guage, called it .'the maiden
tree which reddens at the coming
of her lover, the rain"
When the cool rain renches the
tree a changing of color is noted.
Gradually, yet unmistakably, the
green hue gives way to pink. In
few minutes the green fades
from sight. Only on few half
hidden spots beneath the broad
branches and on its trunk is there
a tinge of green to be seen. The
tree is as pink as the cheek of a
healthy girl.
An hour or more after the
shower passes the wonderful tree
assumes its familiar green once
more. AS it is changing back to
emerald the spectator suddenly
realizes the secret of the phenom-
enon. Certain tiny insects, and |
not the tree itself, change color.
These peculiar parasites are pos
sessee of the power of the chame-
Icons. In the bright, warm SUM-
shine they are greener than the
tree on which they live. But
when the chill rain falls upon
them they contract their tiny
backs and become pretty pink
in color. Millions of these change
the tint of the tree and impart to
it a blushin@ aspect-Ex.

To Be Dedicated
Next Sunday.

The Second Methodist church
of this city will be dedicated on
the, 25th with appropriate cere-
mony at II O'Clock a. M, Bishop
Eugene r. Hendrix, of Kansas
City, conducting the dedicatory
services.
This church has had a remark
able growth since its organiza-
ton. Five years ago marked its
advent into the church world and
its membership at that time con-
sisted of only 13. It's member
ship now numbers three hundred.
The church has never been
dedicated on account of debt.
In the beginning of this year
when the present pastor, Rev.
RObt A. Clark, took charge there
was an Indebtedness on church
and parsonage of nearly 81, 200,
but by next Saturday every
cent of this amount will be
in the hands of the pastor
and the dedication can then
take place. There has been add
ed to this church during the pres
ent year seventy-five members.
The pastor and his members
are expecting and preparing for
a large congregation to be at
this service and all available
space will be filled with chairs
to accommodate all who may

COLUMBUS CHANCES FOR
COTTON STATES LEAGUE
Mr.. Will MahOn Thinks We Have a Good
Prospect to Enter.

Mr.. Will Mahon returned FRI
day from jackson, where he
went as special representative
for Columbus to present this
city's claim and application for
franchise in the Cotton States
League the coming season. Mr..
Mahon states that the directors of
the teams in the towns compos-
ing the League were favorable
indeed for Columbus to enter,
and were it not for inaccessible
location, she would have gained
admittance at the meeting just
held. However committee of
five was appointed to look into
the mileage of the five towns
making application, and deter
mine which two should be elect
ed in case an eight team cir
cult is formed. The five towns
after the two places in the League
are Columbus, Selma, Alexan-
dria, La, Monroe, La, and the
Parker Blake team of New Or
leans, anG the matter. will be def
nitely decided upon at. the next
of the League officials
in December or January. Hat
tiesburg was selected to take the
place of Baton Rouge who va
Gated.
Mr.. Mahon further stated that
the officials of the League figur-
ed what it would cost Columbus
to maintain a team in the Cotton
States League, and including
everything it would take $4,000
a game, which means little
enough to have such an honor
for our town. 1t is safely as
serted that $1,000 will carry US
through all right, even under the
most adverse conditions, which
sum should be readily subscribed.
A meeting of the local lovers Of
base ball will be held at the office
of.the Street Railway Co. Tuesday
night to formulate plans in case
Columbus gets in the league.

HEARST PICKED To
RUN WITH BRYAN
Ex-GOv. OdeIl, Of New York,
Thinks Ticket Would Win.

A New York special says
Bryan and Hearst on the same
ticket in 1908, and the probabili- :
ty of their being elected presi-
dent and vice-president, respect
lively, is now the most important
political topic in New York and
the East. B. b. Odell, Republi-
can and former governor of New
York, started it all by saying
that Hearst would make strong
running mate for Bryan.
Odell said that Hearst is great
ly strengthened as a political fac
tor, and that while he might not
be elected president, he is now
man to be reckoned with in the
future. He said the combination
of Bryan and Hearst would be a
hard one for the Republicans to
beat.
AN "ASININE CAMPAIGN. +"
Continuing his conversation
Mr.. Odell said the management
of the Republican campaign was
the "most asinine" that he ever
knew.
1.-THE people of this State re-
sent the interference of a presi-
dent of the United States in their
local elections" said Odell.
"They haye done so since the
days of Dewitt Clinton. l think
the interference of Mr.. Roosevelt
did more harm than good. Re-
publicans should have stood for
many things that Mr.. Hearst ad-
vocated, like the eight-hour law,
the three platoon system of po-
lice and firemen.

tween Mayor Malone and Chief
of Police George t. O'Haver,
which arose on the morning of
the recent election over a ques-
ton as to the authority of the
mayor to direct the assignment
of patrolmen, was taken into
court today. For refusing to
obey orders, Chief of Police
.O'Haver was suspended by the
mayor, and a mutiny of praoti-
cally the entire police force rs-
suited. Later in the day, at

and several members of the Fire
and Police Commission, O'Haver
was reinstated, am today Mayor
Malone made application for an
injunction restraining O'Haver
from continuing to perform the
duties of chief Of police, pending
