Jackson, Miss, March 27-(Special.)- )- State Superintendent of Education Powers has addressed letter to each county su- perlntendent in the state calling special attention to the fact that the late leg lsiature enacted law which provides Tor the establishment of an agricultural figh school in each county, and urging the county superintendents to take hold of the matter and strive for the consum- nation of the end desired.
 rms is looked upon as one of the most important measures adopted by the leg islature, and contemplates an expenditure or SiS,VO0 by the state, each county be- ing given authority, under certain con- dlt1ons to draw on the state treasury for 5000. These conditions are that the coun- ty shall first show it's determination to merit the states generosity by secur- ing at least 20 acres of land, erecting buildings that will accommodate at least 40 pupils, make the tax levy that may be required to support the high school. The county can get nothing from the state until the state board of education has inspected and approved the plans of the county school
 The idea of the state in establishine Q these schools in to instill into the minds of the present generation of children and those to come, the theory of scientific agriculture, horticulture and kindred professions and callings. Mississippi is pre-eminently an agricultural state and always will be- wherefore it is wise to train and educate the farmer boys and girls along those lines the great ma- jority of them will have to pursue in after years.

STUBBORN FACTS ARE DRIVEN HOME E. D. Smith Talks of Cotton In
 Montgomery POVERTY AND IGNORANCE Planter Is Undone By the Organized Brain and Capital of the World,
 Says the Brilliant
 Speaker.

Montgomery, March 27.-(Special.)-E U. Smith of the Southern Cotton associa- ton drove home stubborn facts abou. cotton yesterday afternoon in his speech at the Commercial club rooms.
 Introduced by w. II. Seymour, pres ident of the state division of the Southern Cotton association, the speaker expressed his surprise that in the north people are teenly interested when approached on tIr- subject of cotton, when in the south where it should be an absorbing question enc is met by a shrug of indifference oI disgust.
 The relation of the staple to the ger oral welfare of the south was shown Whatever may be said of the south $ ability to produce other things than cot ton, these things can be grown only to supply individual needs, not as a moneV . crop. The world looks to other sections tor such supplies. But with a God-given IT onopoly, by reason of the conjunction of soil, location and climate southern cot ton is king of the cotton world if com merce decides the question of balances, S E to whether we owe Europe or Europe owes us.
 Concerning Staple.
 The speaker argued the wisdom of conserving the staple as a marketable commodity and securing for it proper rrice on this ground But, when it Is considered that it represents the potential energy of the south and draws the lne between ignorance and culture, wealth and poverty, 1t becomes the vital question or the south's development.
 Why is it," he asked, that the south shows If per cent more ignorance an l 3S per cent more poverty than other sec tons of the country and of other parts of the civilized world?" The answer is ia the way the price of cotton has been slaughtered The ignorant negro and FOOT white farmer has had to go up against the organized brain and capital of the world, whose profits increase as the article is cheapened.
 Aid of Bankers.
 The need of help from bankers anl merchants and others in position in the south to come to the help of the producer to secure for him an equitable price for cotton was enforced.
 With cotton bringing the right price the south would have no need to call upon the general government for help to oevelop her harbors and rivers or other wise. The engorged wealth brought in ry the sale of the staple would not on'y let loose creative resources that would blossom and fruit in the homes of a happy and prosperous people, but would accomplish everything necessary in the line of physical development.
 Figures and facts were given through cut, showing the stupendous losses to the south and the country through the reck- less slaughter of this God-gven heritage, and the benefits that will accrue when cotton comes to it's own.
