BARAGA CLASS is
INTERESTING ONE
MUCH ENTHUSIASM IS SHOWN AMONG
THE CLASS ORGANIZED A FEW
DAYS AGO.
M. E. CHURCH ORGANIZES

The Baraca Class that was or
organized at the First Baptist
church last Sunday a week
ago by Mr.. p. G.. Chapman who
was appointed teacher of same
now numbers about fifty and
they Eope to have one hundred
enrolled before the summer is
over Class pins have been or
dered and every member is en-
thusiastic over the work.
A Baraca Class was also or
ganized last Sunday at the First
Methodist church with the fol-
lowing Offices: Mr.. Kennith
Harrison, president; Mr.. John
Bowlin, vice-president; Mr.. Tom
McBeath, treasu urer; Hon. j. l.
Sturdivant, teacher.
Monthly business meetings
will be called by the president
each month.
This class was not as large as
III should have been, but it is
hoped that energy on the part Of
those present who have organ
lied themselves into a body of
"hustlers" may induce scores of
young men who now spend their
time in hunting diversion to
join this class.
Mr. Hudson, the originator,
being desirous Of rescuing young
men from the psth of sin and
deaf gen. of bringing them into
the Kingdom of Christ, organ
lied the first Baraca class in
Syracuse. N. Y. Mr. Hudson
firmly believed that by sympa-
thizing with young men, impress
ing them with the manliness of
the Christian life, he could there
by interest them in the Sunday
school and in the study of the
Bible and thus bring them to the
Master.
The history of the first Baraca
class would make an interesting
volume. The class was a great
success from the beginning.

COLUMBUS MAY GET
ORATORICAL CONTEST
WILL PROBABLY TAKE PLACE IN MAY,
AT LEAST TWO OF THE INSTITUTIONS
WANT IT IN C0LLEGE TOWN.
FROM THE JACKSON NEWS

It is very probable that the
Mississippi intercollegiate Ora
torical Association will select
Columbus as the place for hold
ing its annual contest to be par
ticipated in by representatives of
the University of Mississippi,
Mississippi College, Millsaps Col
lege, and Mississippi A. and NJ.
College.
1t is known that the student
body at the University favor the
selection of Columbus, and
doubtlessly the same opinion pre-
walls among the students at the
A. and M. College, owing to
their proximity to the Lowndes
county capital. There have been
no expressions from Millsaps Col
lege and Mississippi College on
the subject.
The executive committee of
the association will meet within
the next fews days for the pur-
pose of naming the time and
place for the contest. Each of
the four institutions has named
its representative, and they are
busily engaged in preparing
their orations.
One strong argument adj
vanced in favor of Columbus is
that the main auditorium Of the
Industrial Institute and College
will furnish ample accumulation
for the great crowd that will be
in attendance AT some of the
debates in the past the buildings
in which they were held were in
sufficient to hold the student
bodies of the four institutions,
to say nothing of the citizen
spectators.

BOIL WEEVIL
IN THE DELTA
DR.. S. A. KNAPP AR0 H. E. SAVELY
GUESTS OF CHARLES SCOTT
At ROSEDALE
THE BOIL WEEWL DISCUSSED

Rosedale, Miss, March 22.-
The distinguished agriculturalist,
DR.. S. A. Knapp of the United
States agricultural department,
and his assistant. H. E. Savley,
spent last night in Rosedale as a
guest of the Hon. Charles Scott.
He came here at the earnest So
licitation of Congressman Hum
phreys and Mr.. Scott, to discuss
with the latter the important
question of rice culture in the
Yazoo-Mississippi delta.
BOIL wEEVIL MENACE.
But what about the boil Wee
vii in the delta? We are told
that cotton can't be successfully
cultivated here after the pest
makes its appearance. Do you
take a gloomy view of the situa-
ton?
mo. Decidedly not. You
can say for me that the people
who say that are unduly alarmed.
The planters of the delta should
undoubtedly diversity. They
must make their corn, corn meal
and hay at home; pay more at
tention to drainage and improve
their methods of farming, all of
which can be done without any
undue amount of trouble and ex-
pense. Some people will tell
you this can't be done with ne
gro labor. 1t has been done un-
der my instruction in DeSota
Parish. La, and elsewhere, and
it can be done here.
You have less rainfall here
and more sunshine here in the
summer than they have in De-
Sofa Rarish and in the Eastern
part of Texas. Another thing,
you generally have heavy rains
here in the winter.
It is all rot to say that weevil
will thrive such conditions. 1t
cannot live under two or three
inches of water for two or three
weeks or months in the winter
and then come out in the spring
time to destroy your crops. By
following the proper cultural
methods, you will make as much
cotton as you ever made, and by
proper diversifcation you will
soon be independent, as you
should be, of the banker and
cotton factor. Be your own
bankers and cotton factors
Don't be dis outraged. join
hands with me and you viii come
out on top, and before many
years your fertile lands will be
worth more than ever"
DR.. Knapp has a worldwide
reputation as an agriculturist,
and in a broad and proper sense,
philanthropist. He does his
work. He speaks ex cathedra
He has battled successfully with
the weevil in Louisiana and Tex
as, and is a pronounced optimist
touching the approaching fight
with him In the delta. He does
not think this fight win begin
prior to the crop of 1911, but he
insists on better drainage and
diversifcation.
DR. Knapp left for Greenville
this morning, where he address
ed the citizens of Washington
county today.

KiDNAPERS
ARE CAUGHT
MAN AND WOMAN ARRESTED SUPPOSED
TO BE THE KlDRAPERS OF
THE WHITLA BOY
$3.50 FOUND ON WOMAN

Cleveland, Ohio. March %. =
In the arrest here tonight of a
man and a woman having So
100 in their possession, the police
believe they have captured the
kidnapers of Willie Whitla. In
fact, the woman in the case,
who is greatly excited, admitted
that she had been responsible for
the kidnapping. When placed in
custody at the central police sta
tion she said to Capt. Shattucky:
Il am the one who planned the
whole thing. There will be
trouble for me and helm Sharon
tomorrow.
Beneath the woman's skirts
was found $9,790 All of it but
$40 was bound in packages with
the original slips placed on the
money when Whitla took it from
the bank still around it.
Capt. Shattuck and Detective
Wood made the arrests in the east
end of the city. When near the
police station the man broke
away from Detective Wood and
ran toward an alley. The police
man fired two shots from his re-
volver into the air and the man
stopped. The woman made no
attempt to escape.
DETECTIVES GET CLEW.
Today detectives heard that
man and woman answering the
description OF the kidnappers had
been seen on the outskirts of the
city. They came down town and
bought numerous articles of
clothing, rendering $5 and $40
bills in payment. A report came
in later that the people had left
a package in a down town store,
which proved to consist of dis
carded clothing.
Capt. Shattuck and Detective
Wood trailed the man and wo-
man around the business district
of the city for several hours.
Shortly after nightfall the police
learned that the people had gone
to the east end of the city. The
police walked up behind the
pair. and Capt. Shattuck took
the woman by the arm, Wood Sc
curing the man. The couple
sta ggered as if they were intox-
icated. The man was downcast
and would not talk. The woman
chatted with the policeman at
first and asked TO be released.
1t was then she admitted hav-
ing planned the kidnapping. In
the meantime the man attempted
to escape, and the revolver shots
of Capt. Shattuck brought him
to standstill. W Whitla says he
has the numbers of the currency
bills handed the kidnapers, and
the police are comparing the
notes found in the possession of
the prisoners with the memoran-
da of Whitla.
