institution and tn wise selection of fac
ulty. We have had many good faculties
but the one we now have is second to
none we have ever had, and' Prof. Buch-
anan is deserving of the everlasting graf
itude CT every parent in this community
for enforcing a rule that has been needed
here fer long time. Every pupil in
school has to cary his lunch and net leave
the school grounds until dismissed and
they are allowed fifteen minutes to get
their mail or any other business they have
ATTENDED to and they have to move on.
This is as it should be, for no boy
or girl has any business loafing around
the town where they have no business
and the place for the girl when not on
business is with her mother at homie and
if all mothers would make that their
rule, there would be less excuse for gos-
sip concerning the girls. With boys it
is ust as important, for the idle boy about
town is apt to hear some foul-mouthed an
ecdote or street cornered biiingsgate which
is just as important, for the idle boy about
has been led in the paths of the wrong
and evil by such associations and 50
we reiterate that Prof Buchanans en-
fcrcenent of that ecellent rule will be of
inestimabIe value to the boys and cur
girls, all homer to him.

BIRDS THAT KILL WEEVILS
SHOULD BE PROTECTED

Our attention has been called recently
to the fact that birds of different species
are destroying the boil weeviTs in this
section We had understood that ex-
conducted by the Department of Agricul-
ture that led to the conclusion that only
Jay birds and thrushes would eat wee
vii and that only when other sources of
feed supply had failed.
The other day, farmer LIVING near
Csyka, noticed that a field of cotton
on his place was inhabited by a cUvey
of cartridges. Curious to know what
they were eating, he shot one of them,
and was surprised to find its craw filled
with boil weevils.
Today, a Will known and prosperous
farmer of the Simmonsvile neighborhood,
informs us that he has exceptionally fine
cotton growing on his place near a small
branch. Every morning at sunrise, hun
dreds of birds may be seen leaving the
thickets and swooping down into this
field. and for hundred yards back of the
woods, the cotton seems to be free of the
wevil, and has mad a good crop, while
farther out in the field the ravages of the
insect have reduced the yield to less than
half the average
With these incidents in mind, it oc-
ours to us that it would be well for the
board of supervisors to make the game
law as it relates to birds, permanent, and
let there be no open season in this coun-
Nv for a wear or SO at least IF part
ridges and doves will eat weevils we have
a boil weevil remedy already in our flds
which will soon destroy this costly insect
if we permit them to live.
Stopping the hunters, however, is only
step towards saving the birds. Really,
the worst damage is wrought by the tri-
| fling ours and the worthless hounds which
roam the woods during the nesting sea-
son, and destroy untold numbers of bird
eggs-Magnolia Gazette.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1910-10-20

In view of the great benefit the birds
are to us in many ways, 10 say nothing of
the cruel and inhuman treatment they re-
ceive at our hands, it does seem that the
school teachers and preachers would take
the matter up and try to disseminate a
better education, and we all have to be
educated in everything, to our people
along this line, but instead of this you
will often see minister of the Gospel
with a gun on his shoulder and a dog
trotting behind him going to murder his
best friend, and call it sport.
1t doesn't look very much like sport to
be out killing our feathered songsters, be-
sides putting out of the way agencies that
prey upon our worst enemies. To say
nothing of the boil weevil-the worst en-
envy we now have, that the birds would
destroy if they were left alone a few
years, they would multiply and destroy
those insects that we see in our fruits and
other crops. 1t has come to pass that
it is hardly worth while to plant and cul-
tivate fruit trees, on account of the de-
struction of the fruit by insects, and our
people are becoming discouraged to such
an extent that great many have de-
SPARED and quit the business.
1t is to be hoped that our schools will
take this matter up and impress it upon
the children, for they are really the
moulders of opinion Of youth.

To Rev. r. c. Hyde of Little Rock,
Ark. fell the honor of nominating DR..
Bachman. He named his father-in-law
by saying he had labored long for the
SOUTH that he had never added a straw
to the flames of sectional hatred, and
then told how the south had honored him.
The Rev Hyde recalled how DR.. Bach
man had been delegated by the south to
bear a message of sympathy to the
widows of Presidents Garfield and Nc
Kinley upon their respective bereave-
ments, and how the city of Chattanooga
entieth birthday anniversary two years
ago.
He closed by urging that 1.-THE hand of
age had the first claim on the good

named DR.. Tingle. He said briefly that
the assembly did not need so much q
soldier nor an aged man, but a modera-
tor.
The roll call showed los votes for Dr.
Tingle. Dr. Bachman was installed as
moderator forthwith.
I'VE have both fought for the south
and for the flag OF Jesus Christ said
Dr. W. E. Boggs of Atlanta, Ca, the re-
firing moderator to DIR. Bachman. you
never deserted your colors. In great ep-
idcmc in your city you completed the
conquest there of every heart that was
worth knowing. To one so beloved by
his people and his church it is a great
joy to turn over~ths gavel"
For a moment DR.. Bachman hesitated
and then said
II have been called to accept several
honors, but nothing has given me more
pleasure than to receive this gavel from
you"
The two leaders in the church threw
their arms around one another in a ten
der embrace.
The ballot for stated clerk resulted in
DR.. Law receiving exactly majority oil

OFFICIAL FACTS THAT TELL Oh
PROGRESS OF WORK AT COREY

what is being done at Corey,
the new southern home Of
the L. S. Steel Corporation,
the official report of J.
Houston Johnston, superin-
tendent of construction. for
the week ending May 14th,
is reproduced here.
1t isn't even set in type.
The report was photograph
ed and a cut made from the
photograph.
The facts are wonderful.
They show the progress at
the end of the sixth week of
work at Corey. They show
more than half the work,
under first contract, com
pleted. They show figures
Of the actual number of
men, teams, foremen, etc, at
work at Corey. They show
the number of cubic yards
Of dirt moved in the grad
ing; they show the square
yards Of cement sidewalks
laid; they show the lineal
feet of cement curb and gut
ter; they show the Hneal
feet of sanitary sewerage
laid; they show the lineal
feet of storm sewerage laid;
they show the number Of
men working on the gas
mains; on the water mains;
on the laying of the street
car tracks through Corey.
Another report reproduc-
ed here shows one days
work, giving an idea of how
rapidly this city building is
progressing. It's also off
cial. Each daily report
shows a rapid increase in
the amount of work accom-
plished in "a hours as the
contractors get their forces
better and better organized,
and increase the size of the
gangs.
This is probably the most
remarkable city building
feat in the world. In six
weeks a cotton patch has
been converted into the
neuclas of a modern city of
10000 people. In six months
the entire transformation
will take place. A city will
have risen in the fall where
cotton grew in the summer,
a complete town with every
modern convenience
What is to be done at
Corey in brief is this:
10000 cubic yards of
dirt being moved in the
grading work.
Three miles Of streets
paved with vitrified brick,
tarvia, macadarh and bith-
ulithic; 20 m lies Of

w. F. Newton, a mining man from
