Public School.

Everything IN school is moving
on very nicely. The public might
be interested to know that we have
registered to date in this town All
pupils throughout the grades "
Thirty five of these pupils are
doing high school work. while the
other $40 are scattered along among
seven different grades.
We are now working ten teach
ers. We have one teacher TO the
grade all the way up 10 the high
school. This gives the children in
each grade advantages almost equal
to the city schools. By the way,
we have for these grades teacher
equal to, If not. better Than, most
of the public school teachers
throughout the State. Besides
| regular class work in each grade
the children are getting manual
training, drawing and singing in
each room this year. A great
effort ls being made to secure thor
ough work in all departments.
feel gratltied to see pupils and
teachers making such effort along
all lines of school work this year.
The two great things needful are
equipment and a school building.
Give us something to work with
and we will show you some good
results.
! Will no one follow the example
of our New Orleans friend IN max
ling a donation to help secure
equipment ? Mr.. Cotton gave us
IS to start a fund to buy maps,
globes and laboratories. Who will
come next with $25? Who will
bring $50? Who SIS, and who
any amount?
What IS 10 become of the new
school building? 1t is fast decay
ing and rotting down. Almost
one year since work began, and
nine months since 1t ceased. Who
can tell us something of the new
building, and who can begin the
work soon?
Friend, patron, we live for oul
country ; we live for posterity
but let us so live that our children
will rise up and call US blessed!
How can We do these things un-
less we bestir ourselves and COM

Mobile and Whisky.

1t has been the custom in pro-
hibltlon campaigns to assume that
all responsibility in a community
is found in alignment IN antagon-
Ism to the opposing forces who
seek to MAINTAIN the sale of liquor;
and especially has 1t been the plea
of women that only grosser natures
could witness the wreck of homes
and the destruction of the youth
of the land IN exchange for the
dollars that accrue IN taxes. Yet,
within few days, we witness the
scene of thousands Of women Of
Mobile, composed of ministers
wives, members of Christian asso
CITATIONS, society belles-n fact,
women representing all classes of
Mobile society - uniting their
forces and petitionlng the Legisla,
lure not TO close the saloons, be
cause they netted the city of Mo
bile $50, 900 annually for the public
schools. Is it to be Haunted that
''every man has his price," Can
it be be said the women of Mobile
are different from the women of
other cities and towns?
Women are great reformers un'
ill they become associated with
some political party or movement,
when their individuality Is lost in
composite actions that sacrifice
opinions to the achievement of
party strength.

The Bond Issue.

The announcement that the gov
eminent is to issue $50, OO0,00 IN
Panama bonds and $10O,000.0 600
one-vear 3 per cent certificates has
been great restorative to public
confidence, and appears to meet
the approval of a large number of
bankers and inanciers throughout
the country ; and, In conjunction
with the letter of approval written
by President Roosevelt 10 Secfe-
tary Cortelyou, proclaiming that
the business of the country is
Fundamentally sound and that the
lack Of confidence and the boarding
of money by the tlmld Is the only
bar to a complete restoration of
business activity, should add great
ly to the strength of the situation.
No one reading the Presidents
letter can fail to be Impressed by
It's earnestness and sincerity, and
it should be a warning TO those
who perslstently aid IN the de
pressed condition OF affairs by
lack Of confidence and boarding Of
money; that no effort for restora
ton to normal condition can avail
without people use their reasoning
faculties and accept the opportunity
that IS offered them.
In times like this, when bust
ness activities are lessened, a lack
of opportunity for Investment soon
accumulates idle capital, and were
it not for the boarding of money,
there would be an all sufficient
quantity IN circulation. Even IS
1t is, the issue Of SlOO,OO0,OOO of
certificates will probably start the
gold We have borrowed flowing
back to Europe.
The Issue of bonds will give an
additional bank circulation; but
the Issue of certificates more
directly affects we of the South,
as the proceeds will partly be de
voted to the removal of crops.
This will ease matters in New Or,
leans, and the condition there con
trolls the situation IN Covlngton
and st. Tammany Parish. The
banks in this parish could easily
accommodate their patrons, but
they could not run the risk of be
ing drawn on by New Orleans. In
view of these facts, those who have
money they are not using should
place it IN bank, where it will not
only earn something for them, but
viii help to restore confidence to
others. ....
The two banks in Covington
have been jogging along without
| assistance, neither of them having
received from New Orleans BANKS
more than $3.50, although money
Is due them, and 1t is a very credl'
table showing and a compliment
to their management that they car
meet the occasion without embar-
rassment.
