is 1T NOT TIME TO WAKE UP7

The meeting in the interest of the publ
schools, held at the courthouse last Wednes
day, developed a peculiar situation.
Is it true that the citizens Of Covingtol
take more interest in baseball. in poIitlca
meetings, in social gatherings or any ole
form Of amusement than in the advance
ment of the cause of education Is it pos
sible that the rapid growth Of Covington Is
due simply to the God-given healthfulness
of our pure air and water and the dollars OF
afflicted humanity? 1t is humiliatlng that
such a thought should creep into the mnd
Of any one without the suggestion Of malice
or envy. Yet the handful of citizens thai
greeted the efforts to provide ways and
means to keep the schools open for the full
term spelt Indifference in big black letters.
It must not be expected that few may
carry the burden of all. The expense of
education is burden that should be borne
by each according to his strength, and every
citizen who shirks his duty in this respect is
a weakening link in the chain that lifts
prosperity and advancement above the brink
of adversely.
The one redeeming feature Of the small
gathering was the presence of the women
they who have contributed the strength of
every movement for the benefit of Coving-
ton and who have never failed to do their
uttermost, and it is remarkable that all the
speakers addressed themselves to these wo-
men and told them what they must do to in
duce the citizens to contribute to the support
of the schools. Is it not enough to bring the
blush of shame to every cheek ?
Thanks are due to every speaker. and es-
pecially to Mr. Bailey, who came all the
way from Opelousas and entered the chilly
atmosphere unprepared for the frost.
Let US hope that those who stayed away
did so in anticipation of supporting the &C
ton of the meeting, and that when the time
for contribution comes no urging will be
needed to induce their contribution.

BASEBALL.

The game last Sunday at Enterprise Park
between the Bogalusa team and the Ozones.
of Houltonville, drew quite large crowd in
anticipation of game that would be worth
seeing. The Bogalusa boys have made a
reputation this season that made them q
drawing card, and the Ozones have also won
recognition as crack team, having defeat
ed Bogulusa in previous game at Houlton-
vile by score of 8 to 2. Up to the eighth
inning it looked as though the Ozones
would again be victorious, the score standing
2 to 0 in their favor; but at this stage of the
game the Bogalusas brought in four runs.
Disagreement with the decisions of the
umpire at this time caused disputes and
wrangling that finally ended in the Ozones
refusing to go on with the game, which was
forfeited to Bogalusa
In view of the fact that the Bogalusa bows
We're visitors and that the Ozones had al
ready won one game we think that the
action of the Ozones in withdrawing was i'll
