AN APPEAL

There are q good many who have
not subscribed to the Leakesville
Graded High school fund that might
yet do So To these we would say
that the Secretary, E. w. Breland;
will gladly answer any inquiries made
and that the Treasurer o. E. Rounsa-
vile will receipt for any money paid
In and issue you certificates of stock
for such payments. The shares are
fixed at so each.
We are not aware if there be such an
impression among some of the people
out in the county, but that if SO it
may be corrected, we would make
the statement, that this School Build
ing, which is to house a real Graded
High School, is not being erected
ana promoted to forward the interest
OF Leakesville solely. The facts of
the matter are, that this is 4 move
ment to provide high school facilities
to the youths of Green County. AS
it has oeen after certain grade were
passed, the student who desired to
prosecute his studies further, had to
go away into other counties seeking
a place to secure such advantages.
To successfully build up School
running into such high studies, its
first necessary to provide a comfort
able and large building affording seat
ing capacity adequate for the tax
that would come upon it.
Leakesvllle being the county-seat
has put forth strong effort to bring
her school up to just this standard.
So far it has succeeded admirably.
The Faculty for the last three years
have been of very high type, and
have been attracted by a heavy sup
plementing upon the part Of patriotic
Leakesvillians. Even to the young
men have contributed literally. Now
bearing this. burden uncomplainly,
The County Capital town has yielded
to the solicitation Of educators from
home and abroad and put forth
strenuous effort to build a house of
dimensions ample enough to meet
the needs for many q long year to
come.
But there is a limit to individual
and community benefaction, and just
that stage of the game has been
reached now. The subscribers to
the Leakesville Graded High School
live principally in Leakcsville and the
near vicinity. They have magnani-
mouslv and nobly done their part,
and are too much encrvated just now
10 do more.

THE SANFRANCISCO HORROR.

The awful commissions of the earth
that shook The Golden City last week
as never a city on this Continent has
been shaken before, with its after
math OF fire and rapine is unparelled
for the immensely of property and
lives lost. The figures gathered now
run upwards of half a billion of dol
lars, while the loss of human life is
figured several thousands. Such q
terrible phenomena of nature, one in
which the rocky strata which lines
the pacific border is made to culver
as leaf in bowling blast, is one
which is making all the world quake
with fears Just what awful engines
of destruction are stored in the laby-
rinthian gorges and receses of this
old terrestrial ball, for its final end,
as decreed by Almighty God is be-
yond the conception of scientists and
ordinary mortals to imagine. This
awful disruption is but faint, though
it now seems q terrible reminder, of
that terrible of teriblest days, when
all Prophecies for the ultimate de-
termination of this old material globe
shall come to pass

Sunday School Institute.

Mr.. n. A. Mott, Secretary of the
Sunday School Board, announces
that the annual Sunday School Insti-
tute for the Mississippi Conference,
II. E. Church, South, will be held at
Columbia, Miss, beginning Monday
evening, May 7tb, at 8 o. clock, and
closing Wednesday evening, May 9th,
at $50 clock The Institute will
be in charge of Prof. and Mrs. II. M.
Hamill, who have been so successful
in the past in drawing a large atten-
dance at every institute held by the
Sunday School Board. Prof. Hamill
is superintendent of the teacher
training department of the Nj. E.
Church, South, with headquarters at
Nashville, Tenn, and he is without a
peer as q trainer of Sunday School
workers. His wife also is one of the
foremost primary workers in Ameri-
ca. The Sunday School Board ex-
poets to make this one of the great
est of their series of Institutes, and
propose to spare no pains to make it
profitable to every Sunday School
worker who attends. Reduced rates
on the certificate plan have been Sc
cured on all the railroads.

Off to the Coast again this week is
Candidate Harrison He stated to
us that now Mr.. Billiard is free to
enter into the canvass actively, as
the Legislature has adjourned, that
he (Harrison) will attempt to arrange
a series of dates for speech making
over the district with his opponents.
If no arrangement can be effected,
then he will feel himself at liberty to
speak wheresoever requested to do
so, and will do it. Harrison is not
the man to take the advantage of
the other boys in any way, but at
the same time he is anxious to APP
pear before the people on the plat
form, as hc is not afraid of his ability
to make good showing in this re-
spect, and believes it the best critic
rion by which the people can gauge
the qualification of candidates for this
particular office. A District attorn-
ey ought to be a good debater and
the voters would like to have chance
of seeing before hand if the present
aspirants are this. We opine that
harrison will not be found lacking
when the test comes. Knowing his
talent in this line we have no fears
for his department.

MAN is A PIGMY

Under this heading, the Memphis
News Scimitar of the Goth, has in
the middle of its front page a strik-
ing picture the lurid streams OF
flames can be seen in the elements,
while hugo broken columns lay in
choatic arrangement upon one an

but disrnptured rock strata-the
greatest of the twisted and torn shafts

CISCO;H down beneath the contacts
of mighty beams Of earth and columns
lies man with bowed head pinioned
and dead, while another can be dis
cerned with disheveled hair and
panic stricken demeanor lodging in
between the yawning riffs. Below
the picture appears some rumina-
tions that should be read by the chill
dren of men, the inhabitants of this
of late much disturbed planet:
The conv,lsion of nature that has
all but wiped out a city has sent a
thrill of horror around the world.
Wherever the hand of civilization
has touched there are men and wo-
men with blanched faces who scarcely
had recovered FROM the horrors oil

ful tragedy of the City of the Golden

Man is Pigmy.
He boasts thai he has conquered
the elements. He has girdled the
earth with electricity; he has learned
to talk through space; he has sailed
sailed seas with great ships; he has
proposed to master the air.
In his pride he has believed himself
more than man.
And in the face of the terrors O
earthquake, fire, eruptions, it is meet
that he should humble himself before
his God and realize that in the face
of the natural law, the rich and The
poor; the high and low; the veal
and the strong, are equal in theil

Man is Pigmy.
He is the fly on the window pane
