BRAVO. ANDERSON.

Charles w. Anderson is the right
kind OF stuff When he was appointed
u. s. Internal Revenue Collector OF
New York we hoped great things for
him. and now our fondcst expectations
are coming to pass. Because OF his
ability, and also as recognition OF the
colorcd Republicans in general. he
was given this peerless position, and
like the gentleman he is, thorough and
honest, loyal and true, he now reaches
down the helping hand and lifts others
Of us to heights We have not before
attained. Alexander King has been
appointed through his efforts to as
sistant superintendent of the Wal!
Street Branch Postofice and is there
by In line for promotion to any place
for which he is qualified. Solomon
Johnson has also gone within the
charmed circle, being appointed an i'm
migration inspector because of his
support.
In the days long ago, the tribes OF
our fathers way on in the wilds Of our
fatherland. used TO elevate on their
shields the chieftans whom they were
pleased to obey. Their triumphant war
songs are no more, We have no shields
to hold aloft, furnishing living
throne for our leaders, but the spirit
still lives and our hearts cast about
such men as Anderson as strong bands
Of affection and homage as ever the

DOYNE ON SCHOOL FUND.
Says That the Appropriation List will be
 Made Out as Usual This Year

State Superintendent of Public Instruction J. J. Doyne has written the following letter to County Treasurer J. R. Giddens of this city, in reference to the state school fund
 ''I do not know what the decis- ion of the state auditor will be with reference to the distribution of the school funds. I shall make out the appropriation list at the proper time and forward statements to each county. If he should de- cline to honor the acquisition for the amount, 1t will be necessary to take it to the courts in order to de- eide the matter. This may take two or three months, but you may rest assured it will be pushed as rapidly as possible. "

Central College Notes.

It is only two weeks till the opening, Sept. II.
 Miss Mcdowell, Mrs. Walling and Miss Thurston are expected to return a week before the opening.
 Miss Ethel Bolen of Pontotoc, Miss, who was educated at the Cincinnati Conservatory, will have charge of the piano music, succeed ing Miss Tucker. We expect good things from her.
 Reports from the field indicate an increased attendance. The rains throughout the state will help very materially.
 President Rivers IS home from ten days trip.
 Prof. Florence will return from three week s trip about the mid dle of the week.
 Mrs. Florence has returned from visit to Bonneville and vicinity and is helping to get the college in "ship-shape" for the opening.
 Mrs. Rivers is adding to her al ready varied accomplishments, painting, papering, plastering, al- clustering, carpentering, house cleaning and cabinet work. At her odd moments she is glad to see her friends and talk school. The public is invited to be pres ent at the opening exercises at Ic o clock, Wednesday, September nth.
 The test of ones loyalty to an educational institution is the fact that he patronizes it. Talk is cheap, but 1t doesn't deceive any. one. I like the business foresight of the Yankee girl who said to her impetuous Southern lover who paid court with great ardor: ''You say you would spent your fortune for me; that you would swim the briny deep for me; that you would die for me; I want you to answer me this one question, will you marry mel" Friends, you say you are loyal to Central and love her, will you patronize her; fathers, you say you would make any sacrifice that your children may receive an ed ucation, will you place them in school? You can get up excuses, but the final test, the Bible test, is good enough for me. "Ye shall know them by their fruits.

A We'll Written Essay.

Miss Ethel Julian, teacher of the Tucker school, has sent to The Log Cabin Democrat an essay en- titled "Why I Need an Education, '" which was written by one of her pupils, Miss Jennie Parker, a ffteen-year-old girl. On account of its length, we regret that it can not be published in full in this paper. It Is one of the best essays by public school pupil we have ever read. The penmanship is as 1egible as print and there is not a misspeIled or wrongly used word in the paper.

sUPT. J. J. DoYNE RETURNS
Well Pleased With His Trip of Inspection
 of Eastern Normal Schools.

Little Rock, August 2o.-J. j.. Doyne, superintendent of public instruction, returned Saturday af- ternoon from the east, where he has been for some time inspecting the normal schools. Prof. Doyne came direct from Farmville, Va. |, where he inspected the Virginia state normal school and also wis tied relatives. Professor Doyne was seen soon after his return and asked regarding the result of his trip. He said:
 II have inspected the schools of South Carolina and Georgia, in company with Professor Torreyso Il of the city schools, member of the state normal board, and Geo. w. Donaghey of Conway, a mem Der of the citizens committee of that place, and we feel that we have received many important and helpful suggestions regarding the building ot the Arkansas normal at Conway.
 we were treated fine by the authorities everywhere we went, and all apparently did their best to give us the benefit of their experi- ence in every line desired. We went to Athens, Ga., and to Rock Hill, s. C., and thence to the Jamestown Exposition, spending two days there. I then went to Farmville, Va, to inspect the state normal, and the others came home. I remained in Farmville few days visiting relatives.
 The board will meet in the office of Superintendent Doyne on Sep tember I, at which time the com mittee will lay before 1t the results of the investigations made, and 1t is possible that at that time the board will let 1t be known that sug- gestions from architects will be re- ceived, and then the selection of plans will soon come.
 Prior to the meeting, however, Superintendent Doyne and Prof. Torreyson will visit the Missouri state normal school at Cape Gira- deau for the purpose of securing such additional information and data as may be obtainable.
 Professor Doyne seems well pleased with the result of his trip through the East, and thinks the committee has gathered much data that will be of particular value to the board when the letting of the contract for the building comes on. Mrs. Doyne accompanied him on the trip and returned with him Saturday afternoon.

From present indications tho
number arriving on this excursion
will crowd former records. Condl-
tons in the Panhandle could hardly
be better and the arguments Of tho
entcrprising land men will be amply
confirmed by the visible evidences
of opportunity which Panhandle
wheat fields are now presenting. The
weather, too, will apparently favor
the land men and the visitors from
the north will be treated to winter
