Hon, E. F. Noel.

Mr.. Noel greatly pleased his auditors
when he spoke here in the Court Hous
Wednesday evening. He is an easy
speaker, using mostly the colloquia
style which puts speaker on sucI
close terms with his hearers, and the
matter of his address was fine. Mr..
Noel has many friends and supporters
in Macon already, and made more b,
his appearance here. He certainly in
pressed our people as strong, clea
man, with courage and ability. 1t i.
believed that the supporters of othe.
candidates, great majority arounc
here, are for Mr., Noel as their secont
choice.

if appointed by the governor to succeed
Mr.. Whitfield, than would Prof Boyd
He is in every sense of the word a
"school man. His every thought,
ambition and aspiration, since reaching
young manhood, has been the upbuild-
ing and moral training Of young men

is personally acquainted with the essen
! tial elements that are necessary in the
upbuilding of our public SC FOOLS, and
there is nothing of greater importance
in Mississippi just now than practical,
well educated superintendent Of public
education, because it has reached a con
dition in Mississippi that our public
schools are the fundamental ground
work on the uplifting, morally as well
as intellectually, of the boys and girls
of our State, and we need man who
is moral, christian gentleman, anc
whose life-work has demonstrated his
peculiar fitness, practically as well as
theoretically for this position, and
know of no man who excels Prof. Boyd
He has made success Of every pub

In the Democratic caucus Of the House
next Saturday ly Representatives
William A. Jones. OF Virginia. The
Jones resolution will provide that the
minority leader shall not accept from
the Speaker tho privilege of assign

Jones, who has always been n close
friends of John Sharp Williams. who
will be the next leader of the minor
ity, will introduce the resolution with
no idea of striking Mr.. Williams. He
simply believes that the minority
leader should not be put in even the
guise of accepting a privilege from
the Speaker of the House. The fact
that the leader makes his assignments
puts him under certain obligation
to the Speaker in that the Speaker
gives him that power in controlling
