jackson, Miss, Feb. 22.-Immedi-
ately following the receipt of Gov.
Noels special message yesterday au-
thorizing the creation of the new
county of Tyler, a bill with this end
in view was introduced in the senate
by Mr.. McGehee, and the same meas
ure will be presented in the house by

1t is proposed to take 296 square

The plan, if carried out, will leave
Pike with 419 square miles and
Marion with SGT square miles. The
assessed valuation of the property In
the territory of the proposed count
is $3,357,316, and it would have 1,15(

a majority of the members in boti
counties affected. The measure will

general STRIKE
IN PHILADELPHIA
President Of Central Labor Union Calls
General Strike in Sympathy With
Railway Employees.
(Bu Associated PreSS.)

Philadelphia, Penn. Feb. 22.-Presi-
dent Murphy Of the Central Labor I'm
ion today called general strike of all
organized labor in Philadelphia, in
sympathy with the striking street rail-
way employees. This effects about
100000 workers, but it remains to be
seen how many will actually respond.
Today was unlike yesterday, which
started out very quietly, the rioting
coming late in the evening. This
morning disorders were noted as soon
as an effort was made to run
the cars. Cars were stoned, and the
motormen and conductors dragged
from them and beaten.
Police who were guarding a car in
the suburbs were stoned, and fired
into the mob, wounding two boys.
Whether the strike order will be
obeyed or not is question which will
probably not be known before tomor'
row.
Washington's birthday is being gen
orally observed as holiday and prac
tically all labor is idle. Incensed al

In Hattieshurd.

In this city, there are four of these
classes-two at the First Baptist
church and two at the Columbia st.
Baptist. 1t happens that the work
here is in the Baptist churches, but
the order is non-denominational and
all churches should, and many of them
do, organize these classes.
The lecture on this subject at Mont
eagle about three years ago, brought
the work to the attention of Mrs. l.

DISCUSSION OF
Trash QUESTION
Supt. F. 3. Woodley Explains Position
Of Main Street School Children
in Matter.

The announcement in The News
Monday afternoon that the children
attending the Main Street school,
which is holding it's sessions in the
fairfield building at the corner of
Forrest and Pine streets, were making
practice of unnecessarily littering
the adjoining property with paper and
other refuse from their lunches dur
ing the noon hour, has ELECTED an
explanation of the true conditions
from Superintendent Woodley.
Prof. Woodley says that in all the
schools in the city the question of civic
pride is given a great deal of atten-
ton by the teachers in their daily ses-
sions, it being their purpose to create
spirit of concerted action among the
children in the matter of cleanliness
and neatness in all things; and that
children of this school especially have
and other refuse from their lunches
on the ground or streets or pavements,
but to deposit all such waste stuff in
boxes and barrels placed for that pur-
pose. Professor Woodley feels conf
dent the children are not to blame for
the litter scattered about, because,
even though they were inclined to
disregard the instructions of the teach
ers, they are under the personal super
vision of the latter at lunch time, as
we'll as during school hours, as the
teachers eat their lunches with the
children.
In explanation of the manner il
which this paper and litter and bag'
and things does become scattered
about, Prof. Woodley says that tn,
boxes and barrels are filled to over
flowing at noon every day, and attract
ed by the bones and uneaten part o
the lunches, dogs have learned to fee,
from these receptaeles. in their eager
ness turn them over and scatter tn
papers. The wind does the rest.
AS a solution of the matter, it
suggested that these receptacles b
emptied by the street-cleaning depar
ment in the afternoon of each day, il
stead of leaving them over night t
further tempt stray dogs.

BONDS Will NOT
Be EXPENSIVE
/WeiI Informed Citizen Shows That
Proposed Issue Will Not Cost
More Than One-half Mill.

In support of the contention of ad-
coates of the proposed new bond is
.le that this city can we'll afford to
issue bonds to the amount of $4,000
for the purpose of erecting new
school building, and that it will not
be an expensive proposition to the
tax payers, a well-informed citizen
has prepared figures which tend to
show that the proposed sale of bonds,
il consummated, will not cost the tax
payer more than half mill on the
total assessed valuation Of property.
Figuring the interest on $4,000 at
five per cent, it appears that the city
would pay $3.50 annually on that
amount. Taking the total assessed
valuation Of property in the city at
$7,5OO,OOO, this would make the rate
, per annum on account of this issue,
one-half mill, or, in other words,
would increase the tax on every thou
sand dollars assessed to the extent of
fifty cents per year.
Figuring on this basis, if the prin'
cipal and interest should be paid in
twenty equal payments of one year
each, the tax would not exceed one
dollar on the thousand dollars worth
of property, which, it is contended
is exceedingly cheap money and would
not in the least embarrass the mos
impecunious tax payer.

Washington, D. c.. May 2O.-A tar

pictured nine months of increasing g

drew on the legitimate spoils of trade
and the policies and declarations of
foreign statecraft as the justification
of the protection policy. II attributed
the high cost of living TO increased
gold production, to demand crowding &

generation and to almost everything z
else but the tariff.
