PHI Rollers Get License.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 6.-After working
hard last night and today at the exam
ination papers submitted by II appli-
cants to practice pharmacy, the Mis-
sissippi board Of pharmaceutical exam
iners completed their task this after
noon, finding that out of the class Of
seventy-two, twenty-seven of the ap-
plicants have shown sufficient knowl-
edge, practical and theoretical, Of their
profession to entitle them to receive .
license. The proportion Of successful
ones was slightly in excess Of that at
the spring examination, but still below
the expected standard.
Among the twenty-seven successful
ones wero W. e. Scates, Of Greenwood,
and G. c. Jackson, of Enid. These two
"boys" are go and II years. respect
lively, both of whom had been practic-
ing pharmacy under the old laws for
years, but had inadvertently overlooked
the fact that the old order had been su-
perceded. The high percentage at
tanned by these two old g was an in
dication that they are thoroughly up
with the points involved in their pro-
fession as Observation-Disclosures

SEPTEMBER RECEIPTS
INCREASE so PER CENT.


AS an indication that Greenwood has
been and is continuing to grow rapidly
is shown by the increase of this years
September post Office sales over that Of
last year.
During the month Of September, 1908,
the local postal receipts totaled ST.
160.45. Last month the receipts show
ed an increase of S527.79, amounting to
$1,797.24.
The increase for the quarter, how
ever, was % correspondingly as large.
The receipts of last quarter were S4,-
1850, an increase of about S646.9 80
over the $3,508. 80 received during the
same quarter in 1908.
These reports are d~emonstrative of
the fact that Greenwood's growth is
steady and sur and that she is fast be-
coming recognized as the Metropolis of
the Delta, the best section in the State
OF Mississippi.

RAILROADS ENTERING INTO PRACTICE OF
FORESTRY.

Realizing the advantage of an as
sured future timber supply, a num-
Der of railroads are adding to their
forest holdings and managing their
forest properties for the production
of a sustained yield of ~cross-ties for
their own roads.
The success and economy of pre-
sentative treatment now make it
possible to use for %cross-ties woods
that are cheaper and more album
dant than the woods of longer life.
By their recent purchases of tracts
of loblolly pine the railroads are
showing their appreciation of this
fact.
The practice of forestry by the
railroads is especially significant, in
that it includes, in addition to con-
servstive management, the CONNER
cial utilization of timbers of lower
grade. In a number of cases plant
ing is done, also with a view to tie
production, though such planting is
usually a subordinate part of the
forest policy.

LARGE INCREASE m
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.


The school attendance in Mississippi
this year is phenomenal, says State Su-
perintendent of Education ]. N. Powers,
who is unable to account for tho great
increase, and the fact that nearly ev-
cry school in the State il overcrowded
with students.
This is not confined to the public
schools Of the rural districts, % to
those in the cities and towns, but In
cludes the colleges al we'll. At all the
state educational institutions The At
tendance amounts to congestion, and in
the Industrial Institute q College at
Columbus a large number of girls had
to be refused admittance because there
was no room FOR them.
Our city schools are filed to almost
their full capacity, and it will not DO
long before increased room will have
to be provided.
This is, of course, largely due to the
steady increase in the population Of
the city, but it is . well-established
fact that there il = greater tendency on
the part of parents to send their chill
dren to school, and many boys who had
formerly spent much of their time on
the streets are nov regular attendant
in the schools Of their respective
wards.
Whether this is due to tho general
awakening Of sentiment in favor OF
more and better educational facilities
and a more thorough education Of the
youth of the country or not, it 10 . fact
that cannot be gotten around that .
much larger proportion of tho children
than ever before are now in the schools.
