@. If the tariff should be revised
and the United States should allow
free trade, would not the country be
flooded with foreign goods, and our
country's industries suffer?
A. No one is advocating free trade
and no revision that is advocated
could by any possibility food this
country with foreign goods to the det-
riment of this country; and the peo-
Pile who are now selling abroad in
competition with the world could put
a restraint upon the flood by selling at
home as cheaply as they sell abroad.

make temporary provision for the ne

we must make permanent provision
against the recurrence of such condi.

recurrence of these conditions, Is to

Ed. egister:-Somewhere with
in the past week I saw in some
paper, [ could not be certain as to
it's identity, an article rubbing it
in on the reformer.
Now, there are reformers and
reformers, and tn en- some reform
ers, not all of whom | suppose are
necessary to the welfare of this
old world of ours.
But reformer can no more help
being reformer than he can help
being a man or a woman, as the
case may be.
And theirs is not always bed
of roses. Sometimes, however,
they live to see the fruit of their
labors. Only to-day, | read with
great pleasure in the DenIineator
the story of Mrs. Balington Booths
prison work. Then | thought of
an other reformer and l got down
an old book and turned to the 10Th
chapter of the book called The
Acts and beginning at the 10Th
verse | read as follows: "And it
came to pass as we went to prayer
certain damsel possessed with
spirit of divination met us which
brought her masters much gain by
sooth saying and when her mas
ters saw that the hope of their
gains was gone they caught Paul
and Silas and drew them into the
market place unto the rulers"
Then I turned over to the Oath
verse of the 10th chapter of the
same book and read: "For a GER
tain man named Demetrius, a
silversmith, which made silver
shrines for Diana, brought no
small gain unto the crafts men.
Whom he called together with the
workmen of life occupation and
said, 'Sirs, ye know that by this
craft we have our wealth. More
over, ye see and hear that, not
alone at Ephesus, but almost
throughout all Asia this Paul hath
persuaded and turned away much
people saying that they be no
gods which are made with hands" "
Then l go, in fancy, to a large
city on the Atlantic coast of our
own beloved country, and | see
lot of we'll dressed men dragging a
poor fellow through the streets
and methinks now / can hear
the surrounding multitude calling
him sd Abolitionist." And
say to myself "Verily! Verify
The path of the reformeI is not
strewn with roses!" And it seems
wonderful that so many men and
women sacrifice ease and comfort
family and friends, to take up the
thankless role of the reformer, and
the many thousands that have
suffered martyrdom for this same
cause. My wonder increases not
so much at the great number o.
reformers as that their efforts
should seem to have SO little effect
upon the people to whom the mes
sage was delivered. And then !
think Of the words OF the Savior
the one great reformer, as he
cried, "Oh! Jerusalem jerusalem
Thou that killest the prophets ant
stonest them that are sent unto
thee, how oft would ! have gather

NOTES OF INTEREST FROM
HATTIEsBURo HIGH SCHOOL,

Once more we come before the pub
lie full of pride in our high school,
and with the hope that our joys and
sorrows our failures and successes
will prove of interest to those who
read this column. In the last few
months our school has made rapid
Improvement and we feel that we have
just cause for wanting to stand in
line with all other features of inter
est and progress in our city. Through
the medium of these columns we are
enabled to give to the public an in
sight into our daily work, a glimpse of
that life which fills so many of our
hours and a knowledge of the things
which make these days red letter
days for us.
Some may read our school notes
with a smile at the trivial details
which interest us so much; others

entered the High School who knows
what glorious triumph they may win.
The Seniors number fourteen. ten
girls and four boys. Only two men,
bers of the class are not with us
this year-Bertha Trotter who was
our class secretary, is attending Blue
Mountain College, so Myrtle d. Byrd
was elected to succeed her. They are

election of officers of the Shakesper-
ian club, Raba Phillips was elected
president. Then in the Glee Club,
Katie Allen is secretary and Clara
Miner, treasurer. Myrtle Byrd, one
of the reporters. William Ferguson
is manager of the football team, John
Perry and John Smylie members of
the team. Then Clara Miner plays
center on the H. H. S. basketball
team.
Where is the class with so little
spirit as not to be proud of such
honors?
Thursday Thanksgiving was given
to the public schools as a holiday.
Perhaps they would have had Friday
also if exam. weren't to begin Mon
day
The High School organized four bas-
ketball teams as follows: Invincible,
Captain Miss Morris; Johnny-on-the
Spot. Captain, Miss Gore; None-such,
captain Ruth TrotA r.; Tiptops, cap
tain. Ruth Perry, eand last but not
least, the seniorsl with Clare Miner
as captain. One Ennot imagine the
enjoyment they get from it unless one
is of the chosen four.
The Shakespearian Club has been
meeting for nearly three months. This
year the club will first study Comedy
of Errors" It has been decided that
! after hasty reading of the play we
shall make a more detailed study of
the plot, the characters, scenes etc.
Our H. H. S. football team went to
Jackson Wednesday to play a game
Thanksgiving morning with the Jack
son High School for the state cham
pionship. First half neither side
scored. The Jackson High School
made no gains at line plunging and
worked forward passes and punts a
great deal. Our team played straight
football and made gains on line
plunges, also worked off several for
ward passes and punts to an advant-
age. The grounds were ankle deep
in mud. which was not an advantage
to either side. The halves were 20
and Is minutes.
The second half was started off
all right until they had two minutes
of play, then there was a little pugi-

will sigh with us In our troubles;
and all. we believe, will exult in our
triumphs.
If any of these sentiments are
aroused by our humble efforts, we
shall feel that our attempts have not
been entirely futile.
And in the modified words of the
great orator, let us say, "Our School!
May she always be in the right, but
right or wrong, our SCHOOL,"
Within the last three months all
traces of frivolity have been blotted
out in the record of the seniors, for
even in so short a time they have
realized the dignity of their position.
Now they move to and from their
classes with even step and musing

proval of those who follow in their
steps, and to deserve the praise and
commentator of the faculty to say
nothing of the honor which awaits
them in "Sheepskin" garb.

not so far behind comes junior "B,"

Then comes the mighty army of the

yet they have accomplished no re-

in basketball is we'll known, and with

listic demonstration. The game was
forfeited to Jackson which made the
score Jackson 1, Hattiesburg 0.
All of our boys remained in Jack
son to see the game between the Uni
versity and A, & M. returning home
Friday morning.
On Thanksgiving evening at the
skating rink, two games of basket
ball were played. The first, between
the boys of Third Ward School and
those of s. M. c., resulted in victory
for S. M. c. The second was played
by girls of the high school against
the team from Third Ward. Repre-
senting the high school, Ruth Perry,
captain, and Emmie Smith played
guards, Clara Miner center, and
Florine Miner forwards. The teams
were nearly evenly matched, as was
attested by the score, seven to seven.
At the close of the first half goal
was made by Third Ward team after
the time keepers whistle had sound
ed. This caused much discussion and
led to a claim on the part of some of
the spectators that Third Ward won
the game. However, the referee de-
cided the goal was not made, so the
official score was a tie.
The Seniors decided to have class
critic, that is some one to take note
of any error in grammar on the part
of Senior in school or on the cam
pus. Then on Friday afternoon in
English class, she is to read them. By
doing this it causes them to be more
careful of their speech. 1t was con-
sidered the best plan to choose the
critic alphabetically The critic this
week is Myrtle Byrd. One should see
a senior when she makes a mistake
correct herself at once. But what
if the critic is around? Alas, it is
too late and her name is on the list.
Mercy, me! how one hates to have
her name and the error read out in
class, nevertheless it is done, and is
Thought good plan which will be a
great benefit to all.
The GIee Club.
Some of the most enjoyable after
moons spent at the high school are
with the Glee Club, which meets ev-
cry Monday.
This society is graciously presided
over by Mrs. Henderson and the sec.

the pleasure of'hearing the choruses
agree that this club has made wonder

casions the Glee Club have been
asked to sing for the public, and of
course feel complimented.
They are now preparing musical
to be given in the high school hall
and to which all of our friends will
be invited. They hope at this affair
to show the public what song-birds
they are.
Instead of having reporter from
each grade as the High School did
last year, they decided to have only
one from the High School, and the
election resulted in Katie L. Allen
having the honor.
