Professor Wolff Resigns

The fact that Prof. III. ID. Wolff.
Principal of the Berryville High
School. has handed i'm his resigna-
tion. To take effect at the close of
the present school year, has just
been given out by the School
Board.
! Professor Wolf. when inter
viewed by the COURIER man,
stated that it as true that he had
handed in his resignation. but said
he did not care to say anything
concerning his plans for the future.
The COURIER is able to state
positively, however. that Profes-
sor Wolff, will leave Berryville to
accept position in another school
which will pay him from 81 200 to
$4,000 per year.
His salary as principal of the
Berryvillc High School is SO per
month.
Professor Wolf, who has been
here for two years. has made an
enviable reputation among all "f
the friends Of public education in
the State, and is locked upon l.v
the members of the State Board f
riuc'tion as one of the brightr~t [
Young teachers i'm the South.
The salary and fees attachc,; Ia
the Berryville High School are
grossly inadequate. not only in the
case of the Principal. but in the
cases Of the other teachers as wrll.
and 1T is not surprising that Mr..
Wolff has decided To go where his
ability will be appreciated. 1t is
also a wonder that the other
teachers in the BcrryvilIe I:iyh
School have not demanded higher
salaries or handed i'm their rcsir-
nations.
The COURIER has persistently
and consistently itera,ed and re-
itcrated the belief that the School
Board should increase the salaries
of its teachers; and that if enough
money Is not now raised, let the
school tax be raised high enough
to bring in sufficient money for
that purpose.
The editor of the COURIER will
personally sign petition 10 the
School Board, demanding that
some action be taken AT once. II
there are other citizens of the town
who feel as we do, we will bc glad
TO have them cooperate with us.
In losing Professor Denny the
School Board lost an able teacher.
In losing Professor Wolff the
School Board is losing another able
teacher.
1t will be impossible to obtain
and hold a first-claSs educator here
unless the School Board acts
promtly, raises the salary of the
High School Principal to point
where it can be accepted by good
man, and makes other needed
changes in the form of manage
ment of the school.

This organization of Christian

legalize the nefarions liquor traffic

We come To these "divinely" APP
pointed protectors for relief.
While our hearts are full of sor-
row, they are also overfiowing with
love to- these, our protectors, and
are agonizing with petitions to God
our Creator to put it into the heart
OF every man to put down the
liquor traffic. We know that your
vote can put it down and keep it
down. Are we unwomanly in COM

Do we plead in vain! VIII YOU
not hear Us! Will YOU not have
mercy on us and our childrenl If
YOU dO not, we believe that God
will, and will raise up some other
means of escape. However, we
have great faith in you, therefore
we believe if you had the arrest of
thought and would take time
enough to look at this matter in an
unprejudicd and sober manner we
would find you bravely coming to
rescue us from this injustice and
heavy burden, which has been
heaped upon us by the drink habit.
We lift our voices to God and
man, feeling that if we should hold
our peace the very stones would
cry out.

Gotham has heard a regular Gar
den of Eden yarn. The Adam in
the case is one Chester 3. Runyan,
former paying teller Of the Windsor

ern Adam crammed nearly 500,
900 of the concern 5 money into
a suit case and skidooed. When
caught up with, he blamed it all
on the woman He said it was the
woman who tempted him-that he,
having already stolen a few thous-
and dollars, told her Of it, when
she said unto him: Your in
bad fix now. Why don't you take
some more and have enough to do
YOU some good?" This sounded
well to him; whereupon, he stuffed
as much into the suit case as it
would hold. This is another case
wherein woman is charged with the
downfall Of man. She is on trial
for having received a few thousand
dollars of the pile the man raked
into the valise, but up to last ac-
counts she had not charged that the
serpent tempted her.-Meridian

Mississippians at the National
Rifle Shoot.

Several mem bers Of the Missis-
sippi rifle team that represented
the State at the National shoot at
Camp Perry, Ohio, have returned
The team acquitted itself better
than 1t was expected that it would
do. The men showing the effect Of
the practice had at Vicksburg prior
to this shoot. The Vicksburg range
gave them ample opportunity to be-
come accustomed to the work on a
range, hence when they got to the
national competition they were not
a set of rockies as they were last
year
The Mississippi outfit finished
Both in the contest against the
teams Of some forty eight States and
the teams from the Army, Navy
and Marine corps. Last year they
succeeded in beating Virginia, and
it might be mentioned that Xir-
GINA shot last. The Mississippi
crowd are much pleased with the
reception given them by the Ohio
ans. Some two years ago the First
Ohio Infantry was at Eicksburg at
tending the dedication exercises in
connection with the unveiling of
the Ohio monuments. They were
entertained in a royal manner BY
the officers Of the Mississippi guard
As a remembrance of this, when
the Mississippi team arrived at
Camp Perry they were taken in
charge by the Ohio people and it is
unofficially related that what they
received was a plenty. The
Mississippi outfit was given a trip
over Lake Erie last sunday by the
Ohio Naval reserves and more than
half Of them were unable to answer
roll call the next morning on ac-
count of the rough weather.
The shoot occurred upon one of
the most historic spots in the north
east, marking the period Of the war
of 1912. 1t was near Fort Perry,
Commodore Perry, from whom the
fort derived its name, fought the
battle Of Lake Erie in which the
British We're defeated and the lake
region was regained to the United
States. Other historic points made
it one of interest to the visiting
teams.
Captain George E. Hogaboom, re-
turned from the shoot this morning.
He was very much enthused over |
the shoot in general and thought /
that after another season s practice /
on the State range the Mississippi I
team would be able to compete with /
most of the Eastern teams as well /
as those from the Army and Navy. /
The shooting on the State team was
led by Capt Harry Marks Of Match
ez, adjutant of the Third infantry.
He was followed in second place by
captain HogaboOm, who also won
a medal in the individual matches,
beating one of the crack shots Of
ohio. He said that the remainder

Election Officers Cannot Be Paid.

Some Of the election managers,
clerks and bailiffs, who served in
the recent primary in Scott county.
are complaining because of the fact
that they viii receive no pay for
their services. 1t seems that num-
Der Of election officers, unfamiliar
with the statutes bearing ON the
subject, were under the impression
that they would receive the same
compensation as allowed officers at
regular elections, and some have
written to Secretary Beeinan asking
that payment be made them for
their services.
Mr.. Beeman says that the law
specifically prohibits payment Of
election officers at primaries, and it
Is possible to hold such elections
only through the patriotism of the
people.
Section 371S Of the code provides
that each political party shall de
fray all expenses incident to its pri-
mary elections, such expenses to be
no charge on tire state or county,
but no political party can pay out
of any funds received wholly or in
part from its candidates anything
for its personal services or time of
its precinct officers.
Some Of the election officers in
Scott county honestly believed that
they would receive compensation,
they would not have

LADY COTTON BUYER.

Yazoo City has the distinction of
having the only lady cotton buyer
in the State, and probably in the
South. This is Miss Josie Doherty,
and she has secured quarters on the
second floor Of the Asher building,
corner Of Commercial and Main
streets, where she will this week
open an office under the firm name
of Doherty 4 Co. The firm will be
exclusive cotton buyers, and already
desirable Eastern connections have
been secured, and the prospects are
that this viii be one Of the strong
cotton firms Of the State. Miss
Doherty has already been elected a
member Of the Cotton Exchange,
and has the assurances Of a hearty
cooperation from the other cotton
buyers OF the city. The business is
not new to her, as she has been con-
nected with the well-known cotton
firm or Kline q Co. for the past
eleven years, and has been in touch
with the various details Of the bust
ness.
Miss Mary Pat Doherty, her
sister, has the distinction of having
established the first insurance bust
ness IN Mississippi operated by a
lady. This was several years ago,
and though failure was predicted,
it has developed into one Of the
strongest insurance firms in the
State
Both of these young ladies have
many friends here and elsewhere
who feel sure of their continued
success. -YazoO City Sentinel
