 IL was our good fortune to attend the commencement exercises of the Brundidge High School, which under the skillful guidance of Prof. B. Fl. Boyd has grown and fiourished like a green bay tree" Professor Boyd has been at the head of the splendid insti- tuition for five years and trustees have renewed the contract.
 The exercises were right up to date and the pupils showed that the hand that trained them was q master hand The program was so arranged that the literary address would be delivered at II a. m. The distinguished Congress- man from the Second District had been invited to deliver the address and was on hand promptly as is his invariable custom, when he has a duty to per- form Ii is scarcely necessary for us to say that Colonel Wileys address was a literary gem. The large auditorium was full to its capacity He consumed about one hour In the delivery of his address. and during that time there was not one moment of time In which he did not have the rapt attention of the large and intelligent audience With tlka address of Colonel Wiley the exercise. closed until 8 ?. m.

 Who Become So After Passing School
 Enterprise, June 3. Editor The Advertisers:
 Our State has provided for the eau cation of seeing and blind youth. Is 1t too much now to ask that some pro, visions be made for preparing ana equipping for the battle or EIe tnose hood and womanhood. but have had no training in such occupations as sne blind can follow. It is saad that more than three fourths of the n.lna ogn wben dose they are too old to receive any beheIiI from State schools for the piind. put have to live in idleness ana depeh- dence and in many eases are forced to beg from house to house, or remain shut off from the world m pipva paiupea homes Our Legislature might reileVe this class by establishing an inoustriaa, school for adult blind where they could be taught in handy craft and other oc- equations and so become self sustain ing. useful and more in touch WIth tne outside world. l supposed an inouseaial Sd school for adult blind could be made ct, an adjunct to the present nterary school for the blind at Taiiadega. believe the state of either New fork dustrial school for adult blind where they are taught piano tuning. broom. basket. mat and mattress making, cnatr d1, bottoming and various other nancy
  course in the school are then given two hundred dollars with which to buy tools and m2terials for continuing tnelr trade at their homes until tlhey Deeonie neonie are apt to suffer more from idleness and dependence than loss of slgnt :. Even those of us who are pfoVlaeo TOT by family and relatives would De pet fer Satisfied and more reconciled to our afflictions if we had empioyi11eth 1t | for our minds, hands and time, The blind need employment as much or more than the seeing for their enter tainment and happiness, as well as for their supoprt and independence. True some of us, If we had s1ght, mlsnt aspire to a higher avocatlon tnan rI,+ pi. ano tuning or any handy craft. But now we would willingly and cheerfuliy do any worthy and suitable handlworK hy which we may become Self sustain ing and relieve the monotony or ud oul monotony of idleness seems hard TOY seeing people to understand. l often meet seing Individuals who seem to nave nave nothing to do and have other: to provide for us.

All we ask Tor ourseives Is simply opportunity for learning now to help ourselves by being taught sult' able handiwork that SWmes we eould wa dotloM ho,S that it is better to provide means oi employment for all classes, even at ar expense to the State. rather than fol any class to remain idle. I dictate this letter for publication in The Advertiser hoping 1t may cause seeing friends oi adult blind to lay this matter before our our Legislature at it's July session Trusting The Advertiser and other papers will urge the matter of esta6 fishing an industrial school for adul hiind in the State and thanking Int Advertiser in advance for publishing Very respectfully,

Judge J. A. P. Campbell. a dis- tinguished Mlssissippian, in letter to The Jackson Clarion. says:
 "A most vicious system has been pursued, fostered by Legislation willed by the people themselves. The key to greatly increased prosperity for our country is the establishment of the wage system. It is the natural and true one of all. The natural course for him who has no land or desire for it, no team, no supplies needful for the business is to furnish labor to him who has these things and wants labor. The land owner and laborer are compile what he lacks in the other. The worldwide adoption and prevalence of the wage system proves It's fitness for human wants. It exists everywhere except in the South We have in our midst object lessons proving its supc- 'riority here and it's advantages to all I refer to the wage class among us-the domestics and others who receive wages. The great ad- vantage of the wage system is the just measure of control and the consequent intelligent direction of labor secured by it."
 The trouble Is that the class to which Judge Campbell refers will not hire for wages. Unless they can rent and run and ruin land as they please the majority of them wil do nothing. It would be a good thing for the South if his suggestions could be carried into effect

LITTLE POCKET PHYSICIAN.
Hyomei Is Guaranteed by E. G. Fowler
 To Cure Catarrh.

Hyome1 Is GuAEaAtceu Dy EAs Os II OWAeE
 To Cure Catarrh.
 Thousands who have been cured by Hy-o-mei call the inhaler that comes with every outfit the Little Pocket Physician" as it is soa small that 1t can be carried in the pocket or purse.
 There Is really no excuse whatever for anyone having catarrh now that Hy-o-mei is so readily obtainable If you have any doubt about its value. E G. Fowler will let you have com plete outfit with the understanding that unless it cures catarrh, 1t will not cost you cent,
 Do not delay longer the use of Hy-o- mei if you suffer with catarrh. This is purely local disease, and Hy-omei goes right to the spot where the ca ta rrh germs are present, destroys them, soothes and heals all inflammation and makes a pei manent and lasting cure.
 The complete Hy-o-mei outfit consists of the Little Pocket Physician" and a bottle of Hy-o-inei and costs only $1.OO making it the most economical as well as the only Esaranteed treatment for the cure of caLarrh. Remember that Hy-o -mei cures catarrh without stom- ach dosing. applying the medication and healing where the disease germs are present.

RESULT or LOWERING RATES.

Ohio has two-cent rate for it's rail- roads. and the announcement Is made that one road in that State has just taken of four of its daily passenger trains. the reason given being that IL could not operate as many trains at the reduced passenger rate per mile as 1t had been doing. While some con- tend that this is >done in a sort of spirit of revenge for the reduction or rates, we think 1t quite probable that the reason given by the road is cor rect, and there are two causes contrib- uting to force the reduction of train service. Looking at the map of Ohio we find the entire state traversed by a perfect network of railroads, and of course so many competing lines must reduce profits.
 Another reason is the wonderful spread of trolley lines operated by electricity and reaching out from ev- cry city and town. These give both quicker and cheaper facilities for all local travel. and they are fast devel- oping into through lines between the cities. Not only do they supply more frequent passenger facilities but pas- sengers can be prof1tably carried at re- duced rates. These causes, and com binations of causes. tend to reduce patronage on the old lines. and if fares on the latter are cut down, as in Ohio. the roads must either reduce the num- Der of trains or lose money. But what is to be done? The travelling public will patronize the cheapest and most desirable lines; and if the others lose money we.fail to see any help for 1t. The Ohio case illustrates what may be looked on as a natural result of the fad for lowering railroad rates, and the natural result of that will be the dlscontlnuance of all unproftable lines. and if the travelling public suffers how can It be helped?

MONTGOMERY AND PIKE.

Commenting on The Advertisers sug- Eestion to the Montgomery County Board of Revenue to make good ev- cry day in the year passable road to the Pike County line from the Pine Level neighborhood. The Troy Messen- ger says:
 But Montgomery County owes it to these lower Montgomery countlans to give them road to nlarNet their pro- duce and not force them to drag through that heavy mud for the re- mainder of their lives. only few miles of good road would fill in the gap between where Montgomery present good roads end and Pike's be- gin When this Is filled in there will be graded firm road bed from Troy to Montgomery, about fifty odd miles. and then one may run through from Troy to Montgomery, or vice versa. at night after supper in automobiles. In fact there might be q daily automobile connection between the two points.
 The main issue at stake, however. Is A good road for the farmers to market their produce, and good road they deserve and should have.

Our staunch Republican contempo+' rary, The Kansas City Journal. is very decidedly of the opinion that Roose- welt caught a Tartar in the person of Dr. Long, and indulges In quite lot of sarcasm and guying at the dilemma the President got himself into by his offensive remarks about the well-post- ed Connecticut naturalist.
