Teachers Association.

The Monroe county Teachers
Association was recognized at a
session of the County Teachers In
stitute last week.
The following officers were elect
ed: d. H. Streetman, President;
Peyton Jacob. Vice President; Mrs.
7. w. Rye. Secretary and Treas
urer.
The Association will begin its
work very auspiciously this year
and promises to result in much
good to the schools of the county.
Last year the Association launched
a campaign in the county for a two
mill tax for the betterment Of the
rural schools. The proposition was
lost at the polls, but a great work in
educating the people to a desire for
better schools was done. 1t is not
contemplated that the Association
has any such work IN view for the
present year. but that its labors will
be directed to the end that better
results may be had from the funds
and facilities already in hand. To
the efforts of Supt. of Education
f. f. Cowley and Prof. ". Y.
Thornbury, the present organiza-
ton of the teachers is due. and.
under their leadership, the Weekly
expects to see much good accom-
plished by the Association.

A Mistake.

The action Of the Executive Com
mittee Of the Fourth Congressional
District in declaring Mr.. Sisson the
nominee under the conditions that
existed, is not meeting with uni
versal approval, 1t is claimed that
Mr.. Sisson was declared the nomi-
nee when be had not received a
majority Of the votes cast for the
three candidates and was given the
nomination after MIR Hill had
withdrawn, ignoring that there was
another gentleman. Col BIedsoe,
TO contest in the run off.
Another irregularity charged
against the committee is that it
recognized Judge Critz as represent
ing Clay county, when in fact
Judge Critz was not member nor
qualified by even holding a Proxy.
The Weekly believes that Mr.. Sis
son would have easily won over
Col. Bledsoe had the Committee or
dered the second primary, but does
not endorse its arbitrary act. That
it has erred is evident from fomen-
tations already begun in that dis
trict. The error has set Mr.. Sisson s
tenure in Congress to one term, for
if there is one thing that the peo-
ole resent more than another it Is
the idea that an office holder has
secured his position by his own on
his friends political chicanery
That indications pointed to Mr..
Sisson' s election by an overwhelm-
ing majority may have actuated the
Committee to set aside the primary
election laws and transcend its
authority. This however, is not
sufficient to excuse it,nor eXonerate
it from criticism Fair elections,
held under the laws, where every
candidate is secured every legiti-
mate chance for election, whether
it be great or small, is what the
people want, and what must pre-
vail in the interest Of good govern
ment

The Board of Supervisors of
Washington county, on Monday,
gave notice that bonds in the sum
of Sl0O,O will be issued at the
next monthly meeting, unless pro-
test as provided for by law should
be made before that time Proceeds
from the sale Of these bonds will
be used for making public roads in
that county.
The ACCESSIBILITY of making a like
issue of bonds for like purpose
in this county is under serious con
siderations by our board of Superyis
ors, and the Weekly hopes the Board
may see its way clear to order the
issue at an early day Under the law,
the board has the right to propose
the issuance Of the bonds, and if
not protested by one-tenth OF the
taxpayers within 80 days, may issue
the bonds. In case there is a pro-
test, an election must be held and
a majority of the voters voting
must vote in favor of the bonds be-
fore same can be issued.

The name of Mr.. r. A. Meek, of
Greenville. Miss. was furnished by
the committee of United Christians
to be placed on the electoral ticket
of that party in this State. Mr..
Meek being a stauneh Democrat has
protested against sailing under any
other political colors, especially
when he had not been consulted in
the matter. 1t appears that some
Of the national political parties are
so weak in Mississippi as to be IN

College Opportunities.

Perhaps no change in life is looked
forward to with so much interest by
young women and young men as that
of entering college. The new student
is entering upon new career full Of
different activities, which in many
cases are entirely foreign to previous
training This is the most critical
period of an individuals life 1t is
here that the ideals are formed which
will determine our future career.
In colleges we find different organ
izations with which students become
actively associated, and these in
large measure determine the Students
after-ife. Not only do organizations
influence the new student, but the in
dividuals whom she or he chooses as
friends will have a tremendous inf1u-
ence. In face Of these facts there has
been established in every important
college and institution a Young Mems
or Young Women's Christian Associ-
alton to help young men and young
women build character and see the
higher things in life. The new stu
dent viii find at these institutions ac-
tive members of the Christian Assoc
citation who viii be glad to meet and
give information to them. When you
reach the institution which you pre-
fer to attend go to the headquarters
of the Christian Association and make
yourself at home. Enter actively into
the Association work, for no young
woman or young man can be counted
among the truly developed whose NOR
al and spiritual life has not grown equal
~ with metaphysical and intellectual.
The Association stands for strong
Christian character, clean athletics.
thorough Bible study and true College
spirit 1t stands for the development
OF the whole man. We invite you to
join and actively support the Chris
tian Association.
