fairly Rampant about Educashun. an they stands around tn Street Corners an calls wun anuther Fools an Lyres fer tn Coz of Educashun. They sez, We're agoin' to be Educated an Gull chered if we haf to waid through Slot ter to get there"
 They was a Winter Towerist which stood around tn Eleckshun Poles when they was a-votin' fer a Skool Trusty, an he sez to a Natif: 'I s'pose tn Precentidge of Illitracy ain't very high here, tn fokes all seems to be so Warmed Up over Educashnle Affaires. Tn Natif he replize: "Oh, you needn't be Throwin' no Slurs onto us. We're moo country yit, but we can Boste of as much Illitracy as any part of tn Country. where you have came from" !"
 This Uprore is alway caused by a Eleckshun of Skool Trusty, which is only Formle, fer tn Eleckshun is Reely fer tn Perfesser of tn Skools who's to be Ratifide by tn Trustys, and they don't have -nOthin' to do fer tn rest of the Yeer 'cept to be Cussed at by tn Voters which didn't git their Per lesser Blocked
 My Paw, he sez: ''Th' manner of Choosin' a Perfesser fer tn Feenix Skools is jist tn same as tn electin' a President of tn United States. You don't vote fer tn President Direck. but you cast your vote fer anuther feller ats called a Elector, an he votes fer tn Pres dent fer you"
 asst my Paw an sez, Why's that?" an he reDlize: Its sos to have some body to put tn Responsibility onto sos to save tn Voter any Humiliashun if tn President turns out to be No Good. Tn Voter he can say. I'm darn glad at he didn't git in by my Vote. l nev- CT 'sposed at tn Electer at I s'ported was a-goin' to cast his vote fer no sich a Chump fer President
 So, if tn Perfesser of tn Skools falls down, tn Voters of FeeniX they can hold tn Trustys up to Skorn fer git tin our Magnificent Educashnle sys- tum all Balled Up.
 It ain't ev'ry man ats qualifide to run fer a Trusty with any Hoap of bein' 'lected. He's got to ans'er a lot of Queschuns showin' how he stands on tn Ishues of tn Day. If his Vues on tn Subjeck of tn Tariff is sound an he stands rite on tn Balkan ques- chun an ain't lame on GambOlin' an tn S'loons, an has Correck an Well Defined Opinyuns about turin Emi- grashun an sich things. he stands good Chanst, if most of tn Voters be- leeves like he seZ he does.
 My Paw he sez at he thinks it aint Necessary fer a Trusty to be so well Qualifide sence he don't have nothin' to do but carry out the will of tn Pee pie He thinks at tn law ort to be Changed sos at tn Perfesser of tn Skools could be checked by what's called tn Direck POp'ler Vote.
 I ast My Paw an sez, Don't tn Women vote at tn Eleckshun of Skool Trustys?"
 He replize, ''Yes. my son, an that's where tn Coz of Woman Sufferidge gifts Sot Back a few yeers ev'ry Eieck- shun. Tn Mail Voters they sez it's Horrible Example of tn Evles at we mite expect if tn Practis was to be- come Generic" LITTLE JAMES.

THE THING TO BE DONE IN THE
 MEANTIME.

While we are waiting for the final order of the interstate commerce com mission in the matter of the com plaints heard last week by Special Examiner Lyon, there is much we can do to better our own condition, and it may be added, there is much that will be done by time, aside from our individual or combined effort. Though our situation is not precisely as We would wish it to be, and though it perhaps never will quite things it will get better all the time. At present, it is far from discourag- ing. We know of no other region in the country which extends so much hope to the farmer, the merchant, the laborer and, at present. to the in vestor.
 We mean that we are not to sit idly and wait for the relief which the commission will send us. It will be months, perhaps a year, before there will be an order at all and it is en- tirely improbable that it will be of such a sweeping character as many of us have been persuaded to believe. One of the earliest things we can do is to rid ourselves of the notion that there is antagonism between the peo- pie of this valley and the railroads. We do not think there are a great many business men who take that view of the present controversy in relation to rates.
 The bulk of our citizens and the railsoads which serve them have a clear understanding of their interde- pendence upon each other. The rail- roads do not look upon the action of the members of the commercial club as a movement to acquire something to which they are not entitled, and the great majority of the citizens do not look upon the formal resistance of the roads as significant of a pur- pose to extract the last drop of blood from the community. The better and, we believe, the general view of both sides is that there has grown up a situation which requires definition or adjustment The interstate com merce commission alone can define or adjust it.
 In the meantime there is no reason 1 why the old, friendly relation of the l people and the roads should not be l continued and working together, they | will almost certainly be able to ac- complish more for this community | than the commission can accomplish | and they will be able to accomplish | it more quickly.
 One of the things that, we think. may be brought about is a main line through Phoenix With that condi- tion established our primary griev- ance against the roads will be re- moved. A friendly spirit will do more for the establishment of this condi- ton than any other influence that may be invoked.

It is a little early yet to pass judg- ment upon the Payne tariff bill, but those who have been impatient to peruse the free list with the expec- tation of finding their views met are liable to disappointment. But there is one thing to be taken into consid- eration. If the free list were made too long or were to include those arti- cles most in use, there would be diff culty in providing means to meet the expenses of government.

Well boys, the dust is all gone once
more. The rain storm that swept
over the whole south did this part of
the country some damage. 1t beat
out the open cotton and blew down
the corn. It can all be saved if the
farmers will go to work AMI gather
it before it rains any more. / hear of
no property being damaged or lives
lost, We got off light.
Preaching at the Corner last Satur-
day. On account of preaching at
Kinds Chapel, very small crowd
was there.
am informed that cotton seed was
$40 per ton at Walls last Saturday.
A very dangerous obstruction is in
the road, just south of the Corner. It
was caused by the storm. 1t is dam
gerous at night.
Mr.. Tyler Boone and wife bring a
lunch with them from Walls on Sum

the meeting at Kinds Chapel closed

Mr.. Blooman Crumpler was born
Sept. 10, 1S42, and passed to the land
of peace Sept. 13, 1909. Thus briefly
may be indicated the boundary line
of our brother's life on earth, but
concerning his character, we do not
feel competent to pay him the tribute
his pure life merits. In early life he
gave his heart to God, and 30 COM
plete was the surrender of himself,
SO sincere his conservation, so genuine
his devotion to duty that no one could
doubt his acceptance with God.
He was Methodist of "the old
SCHOOL,. He loved his church and
her doctrines. His love was pure and
unselish, his faith simple, his charac-
ter spotless. Henever murmered nor
complained; was buoyant in joy and
submissive in pain. The eight days
of suffering just before death was en-
dured with resignation expressed in
the words, "his Lords will be done''.
He was faithful husband a loving
father in whom the family trusted
loved in life, lamented in death. He
leaves a wife and six sons and
a host of relative and friends to mourn
their loss. To them we extend our
loving sympathy and may we all live
abetter life, SO that we can meet him
in the "sweet bye and bye".

One on tho Man of Method.

"Don't wait for me-" he said to his
better half. II may be rather late,
but business Is business you know
and can't be helped"
The next morning the man Of method
was far from either looking well or
feeling well. At breakfast he sat list
lessly toying with his toast and coffee,
while his spouse sat stonily silent be-
hind the coffeepot. The breakfast
room clock was equally silent.
maria, my dear, there must be
something wrong with that clock. I
am sure wound it up last night" re-
marked the husband.

up Freddy's music box instead, and

The Poor eridearoom.


Even the English language empha-
sizes the insignihcance OF a man at his
own wedding" said the prospective
bridegroom disconsolately. There isn't
an independent word to designate him.
He Is merely called the groom Of the
bride. as II he were just about on q
level with the bridesmaids and a lit
tie below the maid of honor. Best
man. OF course, means the bridegroom's
best man. but the phrase itself tends to
exalt this Individual at the expense of
bis superior.
Then there's no adjective to de-
scribe what pertains to the male half
OF the affair You can't speak Of the
Underground trousers or necktle. On
the other hand. bridal applies not only
to the possessions of the girl, but to
what relates to both of them equally,
like the trip and the bridal chamber.
The very words matrimony' and mat
rimoniar are from the feminine side
only. 'Patrimony' has nothing to do
with the nup,ials, Ii applies only to
wealth and signifies that mans part
In the affair is to get out and hustle
for the cash Philadelphia Ledger.

manner the steam Is reconYerted into

through the lavender has extracted the
oil, which floats on the surface of the
water as 1t runs into glass jars down

tint, and 1t now has to be refined by

would burn holes through the hand
