What does it Mean?

"A movement is on foot to pub
lish the testimony taken before
the Board of Trustees relative to
the A. & M. College. If the ent
ire record is to be given to the
public, as sworn to by the Official
stenographer, and disqualification
superintended by impartial men.
we say all rigbt-turn on the
light. But. if we are correctly
informed Mr.. J. J. Gill, who has
the work in charge, is'not friend
ly to Mr.. Hardy. If our memory
is not at fault, he signed public
statemen t, not only endorsing
Chas M. Scherer as a man, but
also expressing the opinion that
Scherer had told the truth IN his
charges against Mr.. Hardy. Gov.
Noel. Judge Whitfield, and Ex-
Gov. Longino. DThis being true.
the people of the state will only
be satisfied when at least friend
of Mr.. Hardy has representation
on the committee to look after
the publication of the testimony.
Furthermore. justice to the trus-
tees demands that this testimony
be printed in one volume, and dis
tributed at one time. It would be
manifestly unfair to print this
testimony in gar bled installmen-
is. dlstributd at intervals week
or even a month apart.
If the Alumni Association is
behind this movement, it should,
in justice to itself. see to it that
the work of publication is done
faithfully and lmpartlally. Moth
ing said in this article is intended
to reflect upon Mr.. Gill, but in
the very nature of the case, he
must see the improperly of his
undertaking this task in the be-
lief that it will give satisfaction.

A COWardly Attack.

Any cause is weak that is ex-
pected to be strengthened
through and by the frailities and
short comings OF any person or
persons. If done as a matter OF
policy it is poor and the one who
resorts to such has more meaness
than goodness and sense.
Wednesdays Jackson News
contained a brutal and cowardly
attack upon the editor of this
paper. Brutal, because it referes
to a matter that has been been
deeply deplored by the writer
and long since been forgiven by
God and man; cowardly. because
none but the cowardly poltroon
would have hidden behind the
convenient non de plum to make
a personal and vicious attack up
on any man simply for the sole
reason that that man differed
with him. We do not know the
identity of this person who signs
himself "Tax Payer" but most
assuredly, the probabilities are,
should he look into his own fam.
lily closet, he would discover that
it also contains its skeleton more
ghasly than this editors. and
further more, if he had stated
the truth and nothing but the
truth, the circumstance was RI
diculous and bad enough, morti-
flying beyond expression or COM
parison, and absolutely has no
connection with the College
trouble IN any manner.

A. & M. Trouble.

The Commercial has kept out
of the A. & M. muddle because
we were not familiar with any
of the facts, but since the board
of trustees have made. thorough
Investigations and exonerated
President Hardy it seems that it
should satisfy all concerned and
that a further discussion of it by
the parties deposed and their
friends should cease.
This, however, it appears will
not be the case as it is sta ted
that the Wellborns propose to
keep up the fight.
These gentlemen have done
and said enough to make them
selves objects Of pity and if they
have no pride Or sense enough
to let the matter drop where it is

half.
A majority of the gentlemen
composing the board Of trustees
of that institution are honorable
and intelligent citizens, as much
or more interested in it's welfare
as are the disgruntled set who
were let out.
It is their business to look after
the welfare at the institution and
it is hardly to be believed that
they would exonerate President
Hardy unless the testimony
would justify them in doing so,

board and the members of tn G

der their designations and they
will do so if they are honest in
their charge that conditions are
not what they ought to be in the

The deposed members of the
faculty claim that they are max

because of their great (?) love for
the school. This sounds quite >

sense as a bug. It would be bet

say they are making the fight be-

Hardy and they do not like him

McGehee's Chapel.

Mr.. Editor
Our souls are lifted up in praise
and thanksgiving to our Heaven
lly Father for His wonderful bles-
sings. We have just closed a
wonderful revival at McGehee's
Chapel; God manifested himself
in every service; His spirit was
there in great power to convict
and convert sinners. We had
twenty converts, fifteen reclaim
ed. Rev. McGee, of Water Val
ley, conducted the services.
Palmer, stronger and more spirit
ual preaching have we ever had
at McGehee's Chapel; and herein
is that saying true; "One soweth
and another reapeth; he that
reapeth receiveth wages, and
gathereth fruit unto Life Eternal,
that both he that soweth and he
that reapeth may rejoice togeth-
err"
When Bro. Shearer came to
his circuit, McGehee's Chapel was
cold and Indifferent. He went to
work at once to reclaim US; he
went from house to house, to
rich and poor alike, and talked
to us about our souls salvation,
telling the old story of Jesus and
his love. He worked hard and
faithfully to prepare us for this
revival; he has shown the love he
has for all mankind, and he
knows his sheep even to the
smallest lamb.
It is said, "They that SOW in
tears, shall reap in joy. He that
goeth forth weeping, bearing
precious seed shall doubtless
come again with rejoicing bring
ing his Sheaves with him." So
it is. Shearer has planted, Nc
Gee watered, but God gave the
increase. $50 then neither is he
that planteth anything nor he
that waterth but God that giveth
the increase.
! Bro. Shearer has eight charges.
At the different charges. leaving
out Shllo and Sees Chapel, he
has had 1917 converts 440 reclaim
ed. The revival at each church
was good.
Mrs. l.. G. Short, the Vice
President w. H. M. S. of the
North Mississippi: Conference,
and Mrs. John Sanford. assistant
District Secretary, were with US,
and while here, organized wo-
mans Home Mission Society.
AS my letter is already long I
will close with best wishes to
you and your valuable paper.

PREFER COUNTRY BRED
MEN.
Leading Employers Say They
Work Harder Than Those
From City.

A point upon which employers
differ is as to whether men from
the county are better than men
from the city. The feeling that
country bred men are likely to
work harder is widespread, and
it has much evidence in it's sup
port. There is, however, hardly
enough to justify turning down
applicants simply because they
happen to be city born and bred.
And for some lines of work-sel-
ling. for example'-the city man
is otter the better.
Where knowledge of the city
is not essntial at the outset, | be-
lieve as rule the country bred
man makes the better employee,
says H. J. Hapgood. president
of Hapgoods. in the Annals of
the American Academy of Polit-
ical and Socical Science. He may
be trfie slower and more awk.
ward than his city brother at
first. but he has the advantage
of good habits, of not being
afraid of long hours and of being
willing to start at very low sal
ary. The city man is rlrely enti-
rely dependent upon his own re.
sources and therefore lacks a
strong incentive to faithful effort
while the man from the country
knows that he must make good
or walk back to the farm.
"Men from the country 60 at
their work with an I will spirit
that is simply irresistible" said
a we'll known manufacturer to
me the other day. For example.
I brought young fellows down
from my old home in New Eng
land a year or so ago, and for
want of anything better to put
him at, turned him loose in the
shipping department and told
him to see if he could make him.
| self useful there for two or three
weeks. Later when I went to
transfer him to the factoy the he
ad of the shipping department
would not listen to it. He said
the young fellow had been put
ting in fourteen or fifteen hours
a day and had learned nearly as
much about the work as he him
self knew. ard was his most val.
liable man. We had tried dozen
city bred men in the same depar-
|tment before and not one of them
had made good"

it quite lonely with out Allie V.
Miss Hassie Cotton attended

day night. where Revs. Bess
Wallace and George Jenkins are
conducting a revival meeting.
The writer enjoyed three
days visit in the home of Rev.
N. q. Adams this week. Miss
Maggie Sullivan accompanied
her.
Mr.. Erskine Green spent Sun
day afternoon with friends in the
country and must have lost him

Rev Nabors is conducting a
meeting at Pleasant Hill this
week and, will begin his meeting
here Sunday night. Rev. R. H..
B. Gladney of Starkville will
assist HIM. Come and let's make
it good meeting.
The Sunday School Convent
on will be held at the Methodist
Church here next SUNDAY as it
is inconvenient to have it at
Hannah Spring as announced.
Another bloody tragedy ended
the life of a former Sturgis boy
last Thursday. Mr.. Henry Suber
was shot and fatally wounded at
his place of business in Robson
vile. Wednesday evening and
died Thursday morning in Mem
phis. where he was carried for
treatment. A Mr.. Gilmer did the
shooting aud in return received
a wound from which he also died
a few days later.
It seems that they had had
some little difference over some
business a few days before and
on the fatal evening Mr.. Gilmer
came in intoxicated and renewed
the quarrel and opend fire.
Mr.. Suber's remains arrived
Friday A. M. and were carried
to Pleasant Hill, the family bur-
ying ground, for interment. A
large crowd of sorrowing fri
ends mingled their tears over
his bier.
Henry was noble boy and
many hearts are saddened by the
sudden end of a life so full of
promise.
Only one short week from the
day he was shaking hands with
numerous friends during his visit
he was brought back cold and
still.
Peace be to thy ashes, my fair
Young friend, and may the Al
wise Father deal gently with
thy immortal soul.
A spirit of sadness over our
town and every heart goes out in
sympathy to the father and
mother, brothers and sisters.

MAY BE A REVELATION.
Latter Day Saints. Are on the Look
Out for One. .ssss

Kansas City, Mo-, April 6.-The
worlds conference of the reorganized
Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day
Saints convened at Independence,
Mo-, near here today. Seven hundred
delegates were present. For the first
time in many years the complete ros-
ter of the IL, representing the
apostles was in attendance. Joseph
Smith, one of the. members of the
presidency of the reorganized church,
who resides in Independence will pre-
side. 74 SIS
The church does not expect a
revelation during this conference, but
1t may come, some of the leaders say.
If received the revelation they be-
lieve will touch on marriage and di-
vorce, which has been a mooted
question during the past several con-
ferences. One day of the conference
which will last a week has been set
apart for the discussion of these two
subjects
