"CHILDREN'S HONE DAY"
To Be Observed Everywhere
On November 20.

Every school child in Kentucky
has been asked to aid the friend
less waits of the State through
the Kentucky Children's Home
Society. A novel movement has
been launched that is meeting
with encouragement from every
section of the State. Teachers
in all counties have been request
ed to set aside Friday, Novem-
ber 20, as Childfen's Home Day
In their schools. On that occa-
sion it is planned 10 have appro-

r Lesson.

A woman once repeated a
piece of gossip about a neighbor.
1t flew from mouth to mouth and
soon all the town knew the story,
which caused the person affected
Il great deal of unbappiness.
One day the woman discovered
that the tale she told was not
true, and in the greatest sorrow
she went to the sage to ask him
in what way she could make
atenement, and repair the wrong
she had committed.
Tie sage heard what the wo-
man had to say, and told her to
the market, have an owl killed,
pluck it on the way home and
drop the feathers one by one as
she went along.
The woman surprised at this
curious means of atonement, but
She did as the old man instruct
ed, and ON the following day
came to him again to report that
she had carried out his behest.
Now" said the sage, go and
collect all the feathers and bring
them to me-"
The woman went along the
road she had travelled on the pre-
viOus day, but she found that the
wind had blown the feathers
away, and after an all-day search
she was only able to bring back
two or three.
you, see," the sage said to
her gently, lit was easy to drop
the feathers, but it is an almost
impossible task to bring them
back again. So il is with gossip
and slander. 1t is easy to spread
false reports about the neighbor,
but it ic impossible to make good
the wrong thus committed. Go
thy ways and avoid gossip. y

Vote for Voter.

Our citizens are will be called
upon to vote next Tuesday and
by their vote say whether or not
the City Council shall contract
with the water company to fur
nish water to the city for fire pro-
lection.
We hope there will not be a
vote polled against the PROPOSE
tion. When we remembe that
only last week there was enough
property destroyed here to pay
for installing new water works,
and the greater part of it could
have been saved, had we only
been prepared with the wa
ter works, surely there will be
no one who will be so thoughtless
and opposed to improvements,
as to vote against the water
works, when they understand
that it will not increase the tax
rate, but simply give the Coun-
ell authority to contract with the
water company to furnish water
and pay for the same out of the
levy as it is now fixed
Let every voter Of the town
vote for the water works.

noon, and the children are re-
quested to make voluntary con-
tribution to the Society's fund.
Mr.. RJbert w. Bingham, Pres
ident of the Kentucky Children's
Home Society, has added zest
aud interest to the movement by
offering a series of prizes TO the
schools turning in proportionate-
ly the largest subscriptions to
the fund on this day. He offers
a $50 library to the school max
ing the largest contribution in
proportion to enrolment; a $50
library to the second largest, and
a 500 library to the third largest.
The Superintendents of the coun-
ties in which the winning schools
are located will make the selec-
tion of books for the respective
libraries.
Mr.. Bingham, in explaining
why he makes the Offer to the
school children, instead of turn
ing his contribution over direct
ly to the Society's Treasury, sets
forth an important point. He de-
clares that the movement, to his
mind, bears a deeper and more
more significance than The rails
ing of funds to immediately aid
the Society in its noble work.
II want to encourage the Ken
tucky school children in a course
that will reflect on them for the
remainder of their lives" states
Mr.. Bingham. "The little work
ers for this fund are going to reap
as much or more good out Of their
philanthropy than even the
needy boys and girls they have
resolved to aid. l feel that Chill
dren's Home Day will be an
epoch-marker in the Kentucky
history. | regard it as essential
to the education of the school
children that they should be
taught to help with heart and
hands their little unfortunate
neigh bors."
Prof. J. G.. Crabbe, Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction,
has given hearty indorsemen
to the plan, and the county SUI
perintendents and teachers in all
sections of the State added their
Endorsement. Children's Home
Day should, indeed, be a red
letter event in Kentucky school
history.

Before another issue of the
Advocate reaches its readers the
battle of the ballots will have
been fought and the man who
shall preside over our National
government for the next four
years will have been selected.
Just who that shall be will be
decided by the voters themselves
but we have every reason to be-
lieve that the great mass of the
people of our country are content
TO let we'll enough alone and,
will not vote to try an ineXperi-
ehced party in power when they
think of the great calamity that
befel our nation in 1892 when for
the first time in a half century,
the Democrats were allowed to
take hold of the reins of the Ma
tional government.
We admOnish every Republi-
can to 60 to the polls next Tues
day and vote the straight party
ticket by stamping under the
Log Cabin and folding the ballot
and depositing it in the ball box.
When they have done that
they have done their duty and
the result will be entirely salts

THREE MORE
CONvICTS GONE
The Rankin County Convict Farm Keeps
Up Its Reputation For Turning Loose
State Prisoners.

Jackson, Mar. Three more
white convicts shook the dust OF
the Rankin county farm, six
miles out from Jackson, off OF
their feet, yesterday afternoon.
and made good their escape.
The men are.
Billie Garrad, warren county,
robbery, sent up April z, 1906,
for 10 years.
Foulton jolly Yazoo county.
manslaughter, sent up Nov. 13.
1907 for 2 years.
Frank Harven. Madison coun-
ty, grand larency. sent up Jan.
20 1908, for two years. Harvell
is said to be an escape from the
Louisiana penitentery where he
was serving a 20 year sentance
for manslaughter.
Those three make nine white
men to escape in just two weeks.
The otner six were TRUSTEES, but
these men were all under the
gun and a fusilade of buckshot
followed them out of the stockade
yesterday when they made their
break for liberty.N Taking des-
perate chances they ran just as
the convicts were being rounded
ub for the night, and when
guards armed with shot guns
were all around. 1t is thought
that one of the men was wound
ed, but he never stopped.
Fortunately for the convicts the
hounds were out on practice at
the time. They were called in
as soon as possible and put on the
track and followed it for hours,
but through such thick cane and
underbrush that the guards could
never overtake them and they
ran out of hearing of those who
ATTEMPTED to follow through a
country that was inpenetrable in
daylight.
The penitentiary trustees feel
like they are up against a hard
proposition. They have just fired
the only sergeant who seemed
able to control the white con-
victs and hold them on the farm,
and cannot afford to employe
free guards, even if they could
find men to accept the jobs at
the wages paid for such labor.
Capt. Rainey, the sergeant who
was discharged by the new board
of trustees for whipping a con-
vict who refused to work, has
not said Il told you So" but
doubtless he thinks it.
