School Book Ruling.

It has been ruled by Attorney General Garber that book higher than one adopted by the school book commission can be used without penalty save in cases where the adopted books have been stud jed through and finished. The query came from Governor Conner who asked wheth- CT any teacher who uses any other ad- vanced book than those specified in the adoption subjects himself to the penalties of the law.
 Attorney General Garber replied that he thought so, saying q think that it is clear under the several provisions of the text book law that such higher or more advanced arithmetic cannot be taught in a public school in this state unless the pupil or class has prosecuted the study through adopted books on this subject and has finished the sub ject so far as treated in the adopted books"
 Attorney General Garber has also ruled that the pay of Judge A. E. Barnett of Lee county law and equity court be- gan in April last, though he did not get to work until after July. The rul- ing is that as he was appointed in March his pay began then.

MISSISSIPPI NEGRO BUSINESS
LEAGUE,

Mound Bayou, Miss, May %, 1908
The fourth annual session of the Mis-
sisippi Negro Business League will be
held in the city of Vicksburg, Wednes-
day and Thursday, July 1 and 2. The
work the League has done in arousing
and stimulating business thrift among
our people in Mississippi is we'll
known. Having within its borders the
most potent and thoroughly organized
League in the Union, Mississippi
proudly boasts of an exceptionally
large number of successful, energetic
business men and women. From
present indications our Vicksburg
meeting will eclipse all former ones
in attendance and interest generally.
Messrs. Ewing, Miller, Crayton, Jones,
Mollison, Copelain, Johnson Mason,
Mckinney, Proctor, Morant, and many
other prominent characters of the
Hill City are doing their part to give
the delegates the best entertainment in
the history of the League.
Hon. ]. G. Napier, Attorney at Law,
of Nashville, Tenn, will deliver an ad-
dress in addition to the regular pro-
gram, during the session. The League
will also be favored with an ad-
dress by Miss Mamie H. Burroughs,
Corresponding Secretary of the Won
ans Convention auxiliary to the Ma
tional Baptist Convention The mem.
bers of the State Press Association in
vited to be present and take part in
the deliberations.

meetings, as well as the League, can

These facts have not been mentioned
in a spirit of captious criticism. The
of the state are glad TO see IN
creased appropriations made for edu,
cational and charitable institutions,
and if it were left to those Of our race,
the Confederate veterans. who an
swered to the call of their state, would
receive increased pensions.
1t is high time that such newspa-
pers as The Chattanooga Times were
calling a halt upon such uncalled for
speeches as that delivered by Col.
Dickinson. The Negroes of the South
know that the ohargeS made by the
president of the Chattanooga Board of
Education are not in oonsonance with
the facts which Co. Dickinson could
have found out very easily by tracing
the records of those who have gradu-
ated from the public schools OF his or
any other city in Tennessee. AS to
concealing criminals, we are sure that
the public records will show that more
Negroes have been convicted upon evil
dence given by members of their race
in the courts of the South than by that
given by all other races combined.
The Times, instead of lecturing "the
leaders" of the colored race in Chat
tanooga as to their duty, could do
more to bring about better relations
between the races by lecturing the
president of the Chattanooga Board of
Education on how to address an audi
ence of Negroes without bringing in
the silly bug bear of social equality
and such tommy-rot.

1t was quite a treat to me to visit

with some misgivings. This being
the first year of combined hand and
mental training in the colored
schools led me to suppose that l

ly surprised and pleased when
stepped into the room last Monday
afternoon.
A birds-eye view of the room from

inspection one has to wonder how
such beautiful designs can be made

The baskets Of the fourth and fifth

What caught your scribe's eye

READING IN BED.
(From the Family Docto

(FrOm the Family Doctor)
Reading in bed, like most Injuries,
can be overdone, in fact there seems
to be only one excuse for this fas-
cinating way of ending the day.
Certain people find that their wor-
ries accumulate in their brains after
bedtime; their nerves are at high
tension and their minds are actively
at work trying to solve problems
that should have been left behind in
the city.
Going to bed with the brain in
such a state means that with moth
ing to distract the thoughts, hearing
nothing and seeing nothing in the
darkness, imagination has full sway
and hours of wakefulness may be the
result. Such a man, we think, will
find half an hours reading in bed a
great help.
With careful attention paid to the
quality and position of the light sc
that without Pickering it shines over
the shoulder and directly on the page
the much maligned habit of reading
in bed has sometimes a very bene-
fetal effect on tired and overwake
full brain.
