 The death of Senator Bryan of Florida will cause an Interruption of the proceed ings in the United States Senate on Mon day which will serve to further delay ! vote on the Aldrich emergency currency bill. The Senate will immediately ad- journ after converting on Monday as is customary on the announcement of the demise of a member, and the House of Representatives will probably adjourn earlier than Is usual as a mark of re- spect for the bereavement of the Senate.
 The Senate has no programme for the week beyond getting through the Aldrch bill, and Senator Aldrich announces his confidence of obtaining vote after tile conclusion of Senator LaFollette's speech. MT. Aldrioh is very hopeful of getting an agreement to begin voting very soon after MT LaFolette concludes, possibly on Wednesday. If he does not succeed, MT. Aldrich will ask the Senate to keep the bill before it continuously until the measure is disposed of. The bill will be sent to the House of Representatives as soon as it is passed. When it reaches that body there will be an effort to have it substituted for the Fowler bill, and then

 Just few days ago bill passed the national Congress which will facilitate the development of one power on the upper Savannah river. A great power is now going to waste there, but a com- pany with ample capital will harness the waters and make them do the bidding of man, turning the wheels of industry. Dis tinct progress is being made in the big water power development planned for Mussel Shoals, on the Tennessee river, in northern Alabama. A New York com pany headed by a Tennessean, is in charge of this project, which is quite an ambitious one.
 The water power developments referred to are simply three of the largest projects, conspicuous in the list of southern en- terprises of this character.

 This will give employment to between 200 and 25O men, and the news that the mill would start up on Monday has been received with a great deal of satisfaction from the fact that a good many of the r1en who had worked over there prior to 1t closing down have been out of a position ever since.

are recognized as necessary and are
provided for, as essential to adequate
educational facilities by nearly
all of the state. We are one of the
very few states that are tagging in
the rear of the onward educational
march. The study of the mind and
heart of childhood and of the best
methods of its development and ten
dencies requires special training as
urgently as does law, medicine,
chemistry, or any other profession.
Without such special training the
potency of our contributions to pub
lie schools is largely lost or wasted.
At no time is trained teacher
more needed thanh the primary de-
partments where tbs taste, of dis
taste, and elementar6 principles of
education are first and most deeply
implanted. Want of proper instru-
tion in the beginning is sadly felt
throughoutlife. Some of our adopt
ed school books, especially arith-
metic, are utterly unfit for the pri-
mary grades in which they are used,
unless these grades are taught by
trained teachers who can, by me-
chanical contrivances or black
board illustrations. make clear, to
small children, what is otherwise to
them wholly unintelligible. Any
parent or relative who attempts to
aid children in their studies in arith
metic and in some other branches,
realizes this fact.
This need should be provided at |
the earliest practicable time by the
establishment of a we'll equipped
trainsng school. If the states cur
rent revenues are insufficient for
such an outlay, few investments
would bring greater returns to our
posterity, than the issuance of bonds
to accomplish this purpose, thereby
throwing, upon the coming gener-
alton, part of the expense which
they would be immense beneciaries.
Only for such investments, or for
funding past Indebtedness. incou-
venient now to meet, are the ISSUE
ance of bonds justifiable.
These questions are respectfully
submitted to your consideration.
E. F. NOEL,
Governor.

Less Fertilizer Wanted.

According to the managers of the
principal fertilizer factories in Miss
issippi. sales during the pastthirity
days, and orders booked for future
delivery, are about forty per cent.
below the volume of business for
the some period last year.
This statement is confirmed by
Prof. w. F. Pond, the state chem
ist, who is in this charge of the work
of fertilizer in section. The factor
les have applied for a much SMALL
.er number of tags than usual. and
it is apparent that the farmers are
not going to use fertilizers extensi-
vely during the coming crop year.

Rodney rIerchants Complain.

A pentition from citizens of Rod
ney has been addressed to Gov.
Noel, that date be fixed
on which they can appear
before him for the purpose
of discussing the status of affairs at
the Alcorn Agricultural and Me-
chanical College.
Behind the petition is a very in
teresting story. The document is
signed chiefly by the merchants and
businessmen of Rodney, who de-
clare they have not been getting a
square deal as regards the purchas-
ing of supplies for the institution,
and their complaint is directed
chiefly against Hon. James Nc
Clure. secretary of the board and
purchasing agent of the college.
Mr.. Mcclure is prominent bus
inessman at Fayette. amember of
the mercantile firm of Mcclure &
Harper, and it is alleged that this
is shown in the preference in all
matters relative to the purchase of
supplies; that the agents and Soli-
citors of other firms are frequently
barred from the college grounds or
handicapped in such away that they
do not get a fair show to capture
there share of the business.
Gov. Noel has not yet designated
date for the hearing of the COM
plant, but will doubtless do so
within a few days.-Jackson Cor.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 24.-The special
feature of William H. Taft's trip today

at noon when U. S. Senator La Toilette

ed himself on record in the most en-.

duced to the audience. Senator LaFol.

to wild applause.
The ovation which is being extended
the Republican standard bearer on his
first speech-making tour is unprece
dented and Republican leaders are con.
fident that he will carry the country
by storm. His popularity with the mass
es some say, already exce.s that OF
