shapes are tho most ungainly creations
imaginable. and SO viewed one is led TO
wonder how any milliner ever had the
courage to attempt to transform them in
to wearable-not to say salable-head-
gear. But they are an immense success
on the head OF a pretty girl after they
have been properly trimmed. and this
may be accomplished by the amateur who
has five or six yards of fingerwide black
French lace to shirr in graduated ruffies
upon the brim and enough velvet ribbon
to interlace over the crown and 10 form
a band about it that may be knotted at
the back in long loops and streanlers.
Despite the velvet trimmings the lace
brim lends the lamp shade shape dis
tinctly summary air. which is further EN-
phasiZed by the cluster of orchids posed
carelessly against the crowns edge di-
rectly over the wearer's eyes.
The New Cavalier.
Instinctively one thinks Of dashing
cavaliers. sixteenth century swashbucklers
and eighteenth century guardsmen when
milliners proudly exhibit the latest mani
festation OF the cavalier hat, which is at
its best when OF some stiff material coy
cred with thick satin or with panne vel

brim must stand out stiffly from the
crown and the left roll sharply against
it. to be held in place, apparently. by d
cluster of short thick ostrich plumes in

fabric-covered hat of precisely the right
color, she will in nine cases out of ten

she may wear it from September to
June without the possibility Of comment.
Black With Colors.
Ever since the races at Longchamp and
Ascot, during the early, weeks of the late
summer when black hats created such
a furore of admiration on account Of their
generally chic appearance in comparison
with those of one tone, they have been
taken up more and more by women of
acknowledged taste in dress. But the
term "black'' applies only to the actual
covering of the shape, for whether it be

strong hue, preferably one of the bright
shades of red. some of which suggest the
scarlet of the rose geranium. in the vivid
French army green which has quite super
seeded emerald as the fashionable green
shade. or In any OF the clear yelloWs
which are without tinge of brown.
Magpie Trimmings.
Quite as startling as are the cornbina-
tions of black with vivid colors are the
black hats that are trimmed with white
butcher vamp. These shoes are In the

the acme of modish coquettishness to have

SPLIT LOG DRAG
HAS MADE GOOD
SUPERINTENDENT OF COUNTY
ROADS SAYS 1T is THE BEST
ROAD MACHINE EVER
MADE, AND
A Good Stretch Of Road
Proves the Assertion = Remarkable
Demonstration of Work of the
Drag the City Condemned.
Road Was In Bad Con-
dition Before.

1t remained for uncle" Billie
Pierce, Anderson county's efficient
county road superintendent, to prove
that the split log drag will do all that
IS claimed for it. And he made good
with drag built and condemned by
the Palestine city street supervisor.
Uncle Billie borrowed the drag from
the city, and used it on a portion of
the Bonner's Ferry road, beginning
about two miles out from the city.
For mile or more that road has been
converted into the best county road in
Anderson county, and as result the
people of that community have caught
the fever, and say they are going to
continue to drag that stretch of road,
as well as other portions of the road.
That section dragged is now as
smooth as dancing floor, and as
hard as macadem, and the drag only
went over it twice just after the last
heavy rain. Before the dragging Mr..
Pierce said it was just as bad as a
clay road could be, all cut up in ruts,
and deep in mud. Wood haulers had
abandoned the road, and no wagon
with heavy load could get over it.
Even the woodworking machinery
could not be hauled over it.
Judge Erwin escorted a Herald man
out to this bit of model road this
morning, and Mr. Pierce made the
statement that it was the best road
machine he ever used; that it was the
very thing. The gentleman said it
have plows and scrapers to do that;
but when once made he said it would
keep the road made, and will produce
surface over our clay roads both
smooth and hard
This stretch of road improved is of
soil similar to South Sycamore, Mag
nolia and other Palestine streets, and
on which the drag could undoubtedly
be used just as effectively.
1t is practical demonstration of
the wonderful efficiency of the drag
While out that way the Herald man
had the pleasure of inspecting the
county convict camp, and everything
was all right, and was a credit to Mr.
Pierce.

THE WOMEN ORGANIZE
Form Mothers School Improvement
Organization, and Will Work
For Better Schools.

| Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 meet
ing of women was had at the High
School building. The object of the
meeting was for the betterment OF
the public school affairs, and an or
| ganization was effected. Superintend
ent King was elected temporary chair,
man of the meeting, and Mrs. A. A.
Sims was elected temporary secretary.
After a discussion of the objects of
such an organization, permanent or
ganization was effected by the cleo
ton of Mrs. Hutchinson as president,
Mrs. Lee vice president, Mrs Brunow
secretary, and Mrs. Hathcock treasul :
er. The organization is to be known
as the Mothers School Improvement
Organization"
Superintendent King made an adj
dress on the needs of the schools, and
explained why more funds were neces-
sary for school purposes. He said
most towns in Palestine's class collect
ed fifty cents ON the hundred dollar
valuation for school purposes, while
Palestine. only collected one-half of
this amount He gave the following
reasons why more funds were neces-
sary to get the best results from the
schools:
L. Nine months of free school
2. More school buildings are needed.
8. More furniture, such as desks,
etc.
4. Fences needed, iron ones
5. High School needs apparatus for
physics, chemistry, etc. There is not
piece in the High School
G. Drinking fountains instead of bar
rels.
Z. Better salaries to teachers.
Following the remarks of Mr. King
a general discussion was had as to the
best method by which the attention of
the people of Palestine can be called
to the need of the increased tax.
The president appointed commit
tee composed of Mesdames Dallam,
Moore, Smith and Sims to talk to the
pupils and thus reach the parents
through the pupils.
The following committee to draft
constitution and bylaws was also ap-
pointed: Mesdames Lee, Fish and
Sims
The next meeting will be held
Thursday at Ais.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Attention ii called to a report of the
organization dt Mothers School I'm
provement Organization" Through
this organization the loyal women of
the city expect TO do good service for
the building up of our schools, which
is a laudable work, and one that
should have the cooperation OF every
lady in the city. And right here it is
timely to say the men have an oppor
tunity to give helping hand to the
work undertaken by the good women
An election is TO be held early next
month to say whether or not q small
tax can be collected for larger
school fund with which to carry on
the schools for the full term. We ara
told frankly by the school trustees
that this additional fund is absolutely
necessary to the schools, and this is a
question the men of Palestine mus
settle by their votes. The Herald ex-
poets the men to do the right thing,
that the ladies may take up the work
with the knowledge that the men, too.
are interested in the matter, and are
going to make Il possible for better
things to be accomplished. The Her
aid fully indorses the movement start

WASTED sYMRArHy.

A few people have pretended sym
pathy for the Herald for the alleged
heavy loss of business resulting from
our attitude on the Bailey issue. Tha,
is wasted sympathy. If the Herald
has lost one dollars business on this
account the fact has not been i'm
pressed on The management of thu
1apef. However, we do not mind stat
ing our policy in such a case, and We
say frankly to our friends in Palestine
that if to speak our honest opinion on
any public question should cost US
every d sIiar's worth of patronage we
have and should force US to close up
and walk out OF town, we would &C.
cept that condition rather than offend
our conscience and keep quiet We
do business for business sake, and
-sv~rct- influence for patron
age. That is the very thing we are
fighting in this campaign. This paper
is not edited from the business office
but the expressions In its columns are
cur individual and honest convictions
and we would not swap our convic
items for any mans business This is
not said extensively, for no newspaper
men appreciate more the business ex
tended by its friends, but for every
dollar spent with us we try fairly and
squarely to return full value in ser
vice, but We do not bargain and sell
our influence nor trade our conscience
for business reasons. A newspaper
cannot be honorable without being
fearless and expressing without re
straint its opinions The Herald never
will keep mum for the sake of gaining
patronage.
