Dear Teachers:

Dear Teachers:
When you make out a description OF
your school garden to bring to Pela-
hatchie on Field Day, be sure to tell
the different varieties found in your
garden, cost of each item and bring
with you bouquet gathered from
your garden. One gentleman who
has offered one dozen flower pots
as a prize for the best rural school
garden, ask Tor bouquet from the
winning garden and / am sure the
one who wins in the race will be on
ly too glad to grant this request
/ suggest that you plant early bloom
ers, such as balsams, petunias, mas
Jurtiums, phlox, verebenes, etc. They
are hardy and come so soon. OF
course the roses and cannas will scar
cely be in bloom by that day and
the violets, hyacinths, daffodils, etc.
will have ceased to bloom so your
bouquet must depend upon summer
flowers.
I must ask you once more to please
send in your reports at once. / have
a report to make out for the county,
and one for the same State, you must
realize that it means much work for
me and l must begin early in order
to do the extra amount of work and
still perform my own school duties.
When / make out my report ex-
pect to give the name of each school
that failed to report and also the
name of the teacher, and will report
them as having made no improvement
This report will be published III
The Brandon News and in the Mis-
sissippi School Journal.
There are about tnirty-five rural
schools not yet heard from. Remem-
Der that on March the 10th, | will be-
gin on that report and if you want
to redeem yourself you had better re-
port at once Let lit be ever so little
we want it.

NEGRO DR.. cRUM RESIGNS AS
COLLECTOR or CUSTOMS or
CHARLESTON.
In Letter Says He Wishes to Save
Taft From Any Possible
Embarrassment.

Charleston, S. c., March 1.-The
resignation Of DR.. VIM. d. Crumb, as
collector of customs at this port, the
resignation to- take effect March 4,
was rendered today and situation
which threatened to- cause President
Elect Taft, considerable embarrass-
ment is avoided. No appointment
made by President Roosevelt during
either of his administrations, has CIV
en- rise to as much discussion as
that o. DR.. Crum, whose appointment
as collector. at Charleston was vigo--
rously opposed because of the fact
that he is negro.
! A long and hard fight against his
| confirmation was made by Senator
Tillman and others when he was first
named for the position by President
Roosevelt in 1903, and within the last
: few weeks, following his reappoint-
ment, Senator Tillman conducted a
successful filibuster- against his con-

DR.. Crums in his letter to President
Roosevelt, says that no pressure has
brought to bear upon him now to
cause him to resign, but that he does
so in part because he wishes to save
Mr. Taft, for whom he entertains
great respect, from any possible en-
barrassment as to his reappointment,
and chiefly because that he feels that
he has been especially identified with
President Roosevelt's administration
and wishes to retire with his chief.
The Mississippian opposed Crums
appointment.
He said he was against the appoint
ment Of any man to a federal posi-
ton who was not an Anglo-Saxon.
This country, he urged, its triumplls
and it's greatness, achieved its power
because the people Of America were
white. The admission of negroes was
wrong.

TAFT's APPRECIATION FOR r. r
Difficult for Him to Express Depth
of Feeling.

President-Elect Taft gives to the
Hearst news service this appreciation
of Roosevelt:
ct is difficult for one with the
depth of affection that / feel for
Theodore Roosevelt to give judicial
estimate of the nina, but verify
believe that when the historian
twenty-five or fifty years hence shall
describe his administration and the
influence that he has exerted as
chief magistrate Of the country he
will accord him a place with Wash
ington and Lincoln, as providentially
raised up to meet an exigency in
the country's history that was only
less important than the Revolution
of the Civil War.
WILLIAM H TAFT.
Mr.. Taft's estimate of President
Roosevelt, in the modest opinion OF
the writer, attributes to the man
who leaves the White House today
virtues and ability for greater than
he possesses.
That he is a shrewd man, well ed
ucated and has the luck to strike of
ten a popular chord when playing to
the galleries no one will deny; and,
to bee just, some of his official acts
have been worthy tobe classel among
those of statesmen, but the habit
of calling nearly one, whose state
ments differed with presidential re
collections Of what was said, as liars

he did President Davis a rank in
justice in his book; his agreeing to a
compromise which will virtually per

soldiers who shot up Brownsville,
and to his credit be it said he had
promptly discharged them from the
army atthe timeit happened and many
other acts Of like character prove hin
to be lacking in true greatness. And
much that he was commended fol-
was the result of circumstances that
arose while he was ever welding the

and the people incidentally were ben

to be again placed on Cabin John
