The opposition at 5tarkville to Pres
ident Hardy, comes largely. if not al
together, from those and their tools,
who could not use President Hardy to
get for themselves or others, some po'
sition in the college, or to get some
pecuniary advantage out of the college,
or to have a monopoly, as against the
college of some product sold by the
college. A number of boys would go
to Starkville to get books, or minor
articles, sometimes making frequent
visits for that purpose, or using that
purpose as pretext to go to town. A
store was established at which books
and some other articles are sold at
reasonable figures and under college
supervision and the profits turned over
to the boys, for athletic or other laud-
able purposes. This helped to main
tain discipline, but provoked some bit
ter local antagonism. The local trustee
attended the last investigation with a
satchel full of papers directed against
Mr.. Hardy; and was very rigid in de-
veloping anything adverse to him.

Those who are sending out petitions
for the avowed purpose Of forcing
Governor Noel to cal. meeting OF
the trustees and to force the trustees
to remove President Hardy, ought to
have the manhood to tell who they
are. They are not the Alumni, for
the Alumni have never acted and
probably most of them favor President
Hardy. The board has voted to retain
President Hardy for the ensuing year,
after hearing evidence in three differ
ent Investigations, reaching the same
conclusions as did the board under
Governor Yardaman, just before the
end of his term, and of the Legislature
which increased the appropriation,
which those lighting Hardy tried to re-
duce and also of General Darlington,
who sustained the ground upon which
Hardy acted in removing Capt. We'll
born.

THE MECCA FOR SHOPPERS
Why tt Is so Easy to Get There and
 Back Without Trouble

An amusing conversation was over- heard recently on New York subway train. Two gentlemen, one of them evidently a stranger in the city, were riding up town. The New Yorker was explaining the operation of the subway, when the train came to halt, and the conductor announced "Astor Piace~ The strangers gaze followed the crowd of women who left the train at this station, and then he suddenly caught sight of the Wanamaker Basement, resplendent with electric lights and animated shoppers. a.
 Tt is simply wonderfully he ex- claimed. If ride on the trolley cars come to Wanamaker's; if I take the "L"I I arrive at Wanamaker's. If l take the subway l land m Wana- makers. I suppose" he laughingly added, "that if travelled in an air ship I'd land on Wanamaker's!"
 The other man laughed. "Well," said he, some people have an idea that all the railroads running into ard traversing the streets of New York were planned for the particu- lar benefit of the Wanamaker store and its patrons. Needless to say, the Wanamaker store had no say in the selection of routes for New Yorls's various rapid transit lines, but the thousands of persons who find Wanamakers the ideal place to shop are very glad that the store can be reached so easily and quickly"
 It is a well known fact that the location of tie Wanamaker store is srch that person living almost any, where in the vicinity of Manhattan can shop at Wanamaker's as conven- iently as though the store was around the corner from their home. All suburban trains and trolleys con. meet win either the New York sub way, "L," or trolley roads, and the latter land passengers bound for Wanamaker's director by transfer at the threshold of the store.
 However, it is not alone the con- venience of access that makes this fa- nous store the mecca for shoppers. It is a great advantage of course to be able to reach there without any trouble or inconvenience, but the paramount attraction is the large and constantly replenished stocks of mer- chandise gathered from the factories and marts of the entire world and offered at orices uniformly low throughort.
 In a wor,, Wanamaker's is fa- vored by location, but even this great good fortune world not avail much without the splendid merchandise and money saving opportunities for which the store is noted.
