SPLENDID OPENING OF
 PUBLIC SPOOL
NINE r1ONTHS TERM BEGAN SEP- TEr1BER, 30, WITH BIGGEST ENROLMENT IN HISTORY
 OF THE SCHOOL.
By J. A. Livingston

The McCrory Public School opened Monday for nine months term, and judging from the enroll ment on opening day and the in terest manifested by parents and others who attended the opening it should be by far the best term in the history of the school. The enrolment Wednesday afternoon had reached 130.
 Opening exercises were held in the capacious auditorium on the second floor. While no elaborate program had been prepared, the exercises were most impressive as well as instructive. Prof. J. B. Sherrill, of Alabama, was present and delivered a most interesting
Woodruff County news., 1908-10-01

address. Aside from being a lead ing educator in his earlier days, Prof. Sherrill is now literate of national fame, having written sev- eral commercial publications and various other literary and histor- ical works. His presence on this occasion was most appropriate and his address was very interesting to those who heard it.
 The exercises were opened with a song by the pupils, scripture reading and prayer by Rev. J. A.. Patterson.
 Only three members of the school board, namely, c. Hailey, B. T. Winery and F. Lewis were in attendance. Everyone was highly pleased with the opening services and all predict great success for the years school work just begun.
 The teachers and their respective grades are as follows: Miss Ge- neva Townsend, of Mason, Tenn, first and second; Miss Florie Els kew, of Augusta, third and fourth j; Mrs. E. L. Hays, fifth and sixth and Prof. Hays, assisted by the above teachers has the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades. Mrs. H. S. Taylor has charge of the music department.

Bail was granted by Judge Lea yester- day morning after w. F. Tucker had been crossed-examined by the state. No argument was made by counsel either for MT. Greer or for the state.
 In heabeas corpus proceeding the burden of the proof is on the defendant and, for that reason. af- ter the testimony had been sub- m1tted, Judge Lea asked MT. Rho- ton, who is MT. Greer's attorney, if he cared to argue the case. Mr. Rhoton said he did not unless the court had some doubt as to:the right of the defendant to give bail.
 "I am clearly of the opinion this is a bailable case," said Judge Lea. The state through Roy D. Campbell prosecuting attorney, declined to

Alfalfa, this comparative new plant for America, is as old as the hills, to use familiar expression. Away back in the ages, when civilization was Christ, Alfalfa was grown by the tribes and nomades, who populated the elevated plains of Central Asia where tEe "cradle of humanity" is supposed to have stood. Later on we find 1t mentioned in the day of the Roman empires, and after crossing Europe during the middle ages. it was brought to South America by the Spaniards, from where it was brought to California in the sos.

 The bond was signed within a few minutes after the court an nounced its decision and Mir. Greer was not returned to jail.

Farmers Educational
 'NO e Co. Operative Union Of America

From Day to Day. A solemn proverb haunts my mind With meaning deep and vast, The mill will never grind again With waters that are past. Take the lesson to myself, Loving hearts are true, Golden years are passing by, Life is ebbing, too. Learn to make the most of life, Lose no happy day; Time can never bring thee back. Chances swept away. Leave no tender word unsaid, Love while life shall last, The mill will never grind again With waters that are past.

Foresters have always pointed out
that forests exert a beneficial influ-
ence in lessening erosion and sitting
and that filling of reservoirs can be
prevented only by the protection of
watersheds. A letter to Forester
Pinohot from ]. B. Lippincott, con-
sulting engineer of the city of Santa
Barba, California, throws light on
this subject. Mr.. Lippincott writes:
1T was determined that the city
ahouldl excavate tunnel through
the Santa YneZ mountains back of
the town. This tunnel will be 49,
600 feet long and is now nearly half
finished. 1t Is proposed then to build
storage reservoir on the river, i'm
pound flood waters and discharge
this through the tunnel to the coastal
plain around the oity. The one grave
question was the sitting up of any
reservoir that we would build as the
river was very muddy in flood, and
samples of flood water sent to the
Geological Survey gave results that
were rather discouraging. Conse-
quently. the city bought two reser-
voir sites SO as to use the second i'm
case the first was DESTROYED ulti
mately by sitting. The city also ap-
pealed to the Forest Service for as
sistance. The Santa Ynez reserve
was created, private lands largely
eliminated from our drainage basin
and a vigorous policy was inaugu-
rated by the Forest Service to pre-
vent fires and overgrazing.
For the past three years we have
had no fires in the basin above our
proposed diversion point and over
grazing has been prevented, sheen
and goats being entirely excluded.
During the past three years we have
also had good rains. giving vegeta-
ton good chance to grow.
Il have just returned from an in
spection trip to the river. It was in
moderate flood. discharging about
500 second feet from its basin of
220 square miles above our diversion
point. The river was as clear as one
of the high Sierra streams. There
was practically no silt In 1t. Over
three inches OF rain had fallen dur
ing the week. The higher peaks
were covered with snow, which may
I'm part have aided the stream. None
of us had ever before seen the Santa
Ynez clear In flood before"
