THE SECRET OF EATING

n
The secret is really contained in Frank
Inns advice, always to leave the table
feeling hungry. In other words, most Of
US eat too much. So long as food is plain
and nourishing ii doesn't so much matter
what it is so long as We don't gorge orr
selves, says an exchange. A man cannot
do satisfactory Office work on six.course
dinner and day laborer cannot toll ia a
ditch all the morning on glass Of milk
and toasted cracker. Nature intended
man to have mixed diet. He has the
teeth of both carniyorous and her
bivorous animal. 1t is not good for him
to live by meat alone or by vegetables
alone, aud it most assuredly is NOT good
for him TO stuff himself with both. For
the sedentary man light breakfast, q
light luncheon and the meat meal at night
is advisable. The main thing Is to eat
too little rather than too much, and to
masticate the food thoroughly, which one
may do without becoming disciple Of
FIetcherism. Thomas Edison sunls It
up when he says 1T is simply appalling
to know how professional men and others
who do little physical work stuf them
selves. There is no sense init. 1t means
dulness, disease and early death. Il is
an extraordinary thing 90 observe how
great business men, lawyers, doctors and
clergymen, men showing the highest in
telligence in ordinary matters, continue
to sin against nature by over.eating. The
slightest practical investigation Of the
evidence on the subject would prove to
them that they were clogged up viii un-
digested food. A short trial of . scantier
diet would improve their mental and
physical condition and make work a
pleasure to them. Yet they 60 right on
filling themselves up simply to crafty an
appetite born Of habit.

in the Rock Hill district, which house
is 26x36 of framed structure. well
bull. and beautifully printed in our
school colors, pearl gray and white.
This house would be u credit to any
community, either country or town,
and is known as Olive Branch school.
These good people Of these COM
munities in which the houses men,

credit for the interest manifested in
the building of these houses and es-
pecially for the assistance rendered.
The Montgomery and Dry Prong
school houses, second to none in the
parish, have been elegantly painted
the colors mentioned, and the paint
ers executing this work are entitled
to praise for the artistic manner in
which they beautitied all these build
ings mentioned.
Our hopes for the bnilling OF a.
school house in the New Hope neigh
borhood failed to materialize, and no
house has yet been built there.
So much of the patronage from
the Willow Grove school having NOV
ed away We did not think it expedi-
ent to build, a house there now but
Thought best to await further devel-
opments trusting that We might have
some othercitizens to move into that
community and thereby have a
school; our last efforts to have .
school there utterly failing, the peo-
pie stopping all of their children
from school.
A neat little cottagef for teacher s
home has been built by the good
people of the little village Of Dry

on their part is worthy the common

A ear load of school furniture has
been purchased for various schools,

furniture is being placed in the schools
for the use OF the pupils this session.
So far the schools nowin operation

Quarterly Report of the Parish
superintendent Of Education.
To the Board of School Directors fol
the Parish of Grant:
Gentlemen:--l offer this my report
for the quarter ending September
Both, 1907.
During the past quarter we have
20 schools in operation, 10 white
and 10 colored schools, with a teach,
ing force Of ID white teachers and 10
colored teachers, of this fnumber We
had IL white male teachers and 8
female teachers, 6colored male teach
ers and 4 female teachers.
We had 1243 pupils enrolled and
of this number 500 were white pupils,
336 males and $50 females. The re.
mainder, $40, were colored pupils,
262 males and 1856 females.
We made a daily average OF attend
ance OF white males of 241 and 24d
OF white females, 1873 ofcolored males,
and 1913 of colored females.
From this you viii see that some
of the summer schools were not at
well attended as should have been.
Some of the colored schools have
not yet closed, but win very soon,
giving us an average school term for
for colored schools OF 30 months.
Two meetings for the white teach
ers have been held during the quar-
ter, and one for the colored teachers,
and one of these meetings was not
very well attended owing to the fact
that many OF the teachers had not
returned from their vacations.
On September 10th we opened 80
white schools with teaching force
of 50 teachers, and with bnt few ex-
ceptions all are under contract To
teach an eight months school term.
We are wanting at least a dozen
more teachers to properly supply all
OF our schools, and we hope to have
them within the next few days.
Two framed school houses have
been bnilt during the quarter just
ended, one at Hargis, 2SxS0 feet, one
room 2Sx32Ifeet and the other 2Sx40
feet, with an eight foot hall, double
doors at ends of hall with transom
over the doors, a porch, with gabled
roof, 10x12 in front, with belfry on
center Of the house in which hangs
sweet toned bell, donated, which
may he heard some miles away call
ing the dear children Of the Hargis
neighborhood to this magnificent
building beautifully painted in pearl
gray and trimmed in white.

contested condition of affairs, and
hope we may have additional assist
ants enough October 14th. though
all of our home resources are ex-
hausted.
Nearly all the teachers we had last
season nre with us this season, and
these, together with the new teach
ers employed, constitute, by far, the
STRONGEST, most proficient corps Of
Of teachers we have ever had, which
means, everything being equal, that
we are to have the most efficient
school work done this year that we
have had.
1t is gratifying in the extreme, we
presume, to the educational anxious
luther and mother of the parish to
know that the special tax for edu-
cational purposes this year will he
more than $4,000, an increase Of
nearly 500, 900 over what the reven-
ues were from this source alone when
you gentlemen received your commits
sions is school directors about three
years ago, which increase may he at
tributed to the thirst for knowledge
caused by the educational movement
set in motion by State Supt. As
well, the Quick respDns made by the
good citizenship of Grant to the in
ordinate desire of the parish school
officials to make their tenure of Of
flee ill a long felt want in this part
of the State, an increase in the as
sessed valuation OF property, and
last, the close assessments given the
people by the assessorand his deputy
aud the hearty endorsement and CO.
operation they have received at the
hands of the police jury.
In conclusion | wish to assure You
and the people of the parish of my
continued appreciation of the in
creased interest manifested by you
all in our efforts to better the educa-
tional condition OF the parish, and,
while seemingly, some are failing to
fall in with the educational procession
and are still sitting ON the fence
grumbling rs it were while the pro-
cession moves Con. yet we sincerely
hope that no one will so forget his
parental duties as to shut out the
sunlight that would one day emanate
from his own home by keeping some
bright hoy or girl away from a pub
lie. school. -
Thanking yOu gentlemen, and the
good people of our parish for cour-
tesies extended to me in the discharge
OF my official duties, 1 am,
Yours very truly,

FARM CRISES

Fremont Tribune-The farmer has
his moments that present a crisis.
perhaps more than most other men.
All season he labors ardously. H
plows with great diligence and sows
and plants with great faith and cour
age. He believes that the earth will
produce and yield many fold and so
his heart beats high with expectation.
His hope is encouraged by generous
fruition and where he thinks he sees
the abundant crops ready for the
harvest he counts his profits with an
assrace thflff. ;utete atlde atbzgka
assurance that is warranted. But in
a single night the violent forces of
nature dash him to the ground. A hail
storm beats every vestige of vegeta-
ton into the earth. wipes out the far
mer's crops and blasts his prospects;
Or a deluge of rain comes just as he
is ready to start harvesting Or hay
ing and puts his fields under water.
To see through the clouds and keep a
stout heart requires stern and strong
stuff. 1t must be akin to that of the
soldier in the line Of battle, who
quails not when he witnesses the res
truction going on about him. There
are heroes in peace as well as in time
of war

vARpAMAN,s SENTIMENTS.


If the state of Mississippi turns
down John Sharp Williams in his race
Tor the senatorship for Governor Var
daman 1t will be to it's lasting dis
grace. No further proof of this is nee
essary than that shown by Varda.
mans own words in a speech at
Brookhaven. Miss. yesterday. in
which he is quoted with making this
unusually seditious statement:
I'D rather be living under the stars
and bars today with Jefferson Davis
as president. than in the United
States with President Roosevelt at the
head of the nation
Then turning from his TRADE against
the government and the President to
the negro question he launched forth
as the champion Of violence, saying:
IF you let the negro vote in Miss
issippi again hope and pray to God
he will run you off the earth. But IL
you are forced to choose between bal.
lot box stuffing. with it's attendant
perjury and force, just reach up to
the horns over the door and take
down the old shotgun and say Go
way. 6Sombo.' /"
Such sentiments come with i'll grace
from a governor Of state and can
didate for the highest legislative body
in the land. 1t is hard to believe that
Mississippi can give serious weight
to the candidacy of such man.
