1908, as an apprentice seaman, has
been awarded one of the two Bailey

the apprentice seamen on the At

Young Varnado, after his enlist

tuds for his work, that he soon
won the recognition of his superior
officers, and when the trial for the
medals took place and the averages

found that he had far outclasssd

RuSSum, MISS, FEB. 10, %.
The remains of Robert L. McCaa,
r., son of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Nc
Caa, Tibbee, Miss, arrived here
Sunday and were inferred in the fam
lily burying ground at this place
Monday morning.
Services were conducted at the
grave by the Rev. Mr. Black of the
M. E. Church, Port Gibson
Robert met death in a trag-
lie manner, being crushed beneath
a moving freight train. He was
sixteen years of age and it seems in
deed creul decree of fate that a
life SO short and fraught with such
bright prospects of noble manhood
should meet with such a sudden
and untimely end His young life
was cut short in the bloom of youth,
when life is sweetest and hopes of
happy future shine brightest. In
telligent, cheerful, kindhearted and
witty, he was favorite with all
who knew him. He was the pride
of devoted father and mother,
whose lives are saddened by the
separation and in whose hearts there
is an aching void that this world
cannot fill. Mr.. and Mrs. McCaa,
have wide circle of friends in
this part of the state who deeply
sympathize with them in their be-
.reavement.
This is the second son this grief
stricken couple have brought back
from their new home and buried in
the old family burying ground here
within the last twelve months.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct John Har-
per, under sentence to be hanged by
the neck until dead upon the expi-
ration of his seventh respite tomor-
row, is perhaps one of the most note
worthy Bible students in the country
During his Incarceration he has com
mitted to memory a large portion of
the Scriptures and can recite more
than fifty entire chapters fluently,
as well as scores of separate verses.
Harper is serene in the confidence
that the death sentence will never
be executed and that he will ulti-
mately be released to preach the
Word. His crime was the Staying
of Sheriff Keith of Murray county
Harper was brought to Atlanta
for safe keeping after his convic-
ton Under the influence of a num-
Der of the Kings Daughters he pro
fessed conversion months ago, and
since that time his Bible has been
his close companion. He reads it
practically all the time.
Since he was tried, on August 4 ,
1907, for killing Sheriff Keith he
has three times undergone the or
deal of hearing the death sentence
pronounced and seven different
times has been respited by the Gov
ernor when it seemed that his exc
cutiOn was almost certain.
The last respite was granted be-
cause Harper's attorneys claimed
they had discovered new evidence
favorable to the prisoner.

Mr.. Church said that according
to a recent ruling of the railroad
commission, even if a steamship
line does suspend operations, rail

again raise their rates. He recited
the instance of one dry goods con-
Germ in Corpus Christi, who bought
all of their stock in less than car
lots but who handled all of their
freight over the steamship line, who
saved last year in freight rates ST.

PLEA FOR 4 GENERAL
EDUCATTOM"

in the Texas School Journal for
september occur the following
words: 'oThe truth is, there is no
such thing as a general education,
except one that fits for nothing and
leaves the professor stranded with
out occupation or other field for
the exercise of his trained abilities.
The probable meaning of that as
tonishing sentence is that the ten
dency of the times is to specialize.
That is true The expert in any field
is one who bends all his energies to
the accomplishment of one purpose;
who values all other things only
as they relate to that purpose The
specialist is needed. 1t would be
wasting time and words to endeavOr
to prove what no one disputes.
The worlds debt to the men of one
idea is vast Although the acknowl-
edgment of that debt is sometimes
delayed, it is sure.
But what of the great mass of
those who belong to the rank and
file2 They never felt and never will
feel the STRINGS of genius. They
viii never make the lot of their fell
lowmen happier because of some ben
eficent invention They will never
discover the hidden laws of the uni
verse. They are just common every
day beings who do their days work
to the best of their ability and who
would appreciate anything which
makes their lot pleasanter.
Right here comes in the value of
the general education Mans life
IS simply a correspondence with his
environment. If his senses are
closed to any part of that environ
ment, to that extent is he dead. The
blind man is dead to beauty; the
deaf man to harmony. The man who
has made a study, however slight,
of astronomy looks with a keener
pleasure at the stars than one who
never heard their names. A walk
ITO the one who has some knowledge

(which he would miss if the study
I of botany had been omitted from

latin verbs may seem useless
rudgery, but it is worth while to

Foundation for the modern tongues
which may be worth more for com
mercial purposes
We often hear, when discussion
arises as to what shall be studied;
What's the use in taking that? One

Very true. The value of everything
cannot be reckoned in dollars and
cents. But what of the invaluable
discipline which study gives? What
of the increased joy in living to one
whose mind is opened to his envi-
ronment in many directions2 Let US
lave specialists, by all means, but
do not belittle the general educa-
ton" which is all that most of us
can ever achieve.

Notes on Incubator and Broodcr Man
agcmcnt.

There is danger In using poorly
constructed and cheap incubators
from too great variations in tenn
perature during Matching. from cool
ing too long or too frequently. from
over-hoaung or from being exposed
TO a temperature above 1913 degrees
too long. All these things are what
cause chicks 10 die In the shell and
render them less capable OF living
after they are Matched.
Where chicks are properly incu-
batcd from eggs that came from
sound. healthy breeding stock. and
are given q fair chance. they will
live and thrive. Where chicks that
came from sound. healthy stock are
lost. II is usually caused from care
