To The Rural School.

August &c, 1910. / wonder what
the rural teacher and people are
doing to make the scholastic term
of 1910 and 1911 a success. How
many of the teachers have taken
advantage of the opportunity? How
many have attended normal that
we might gain some knowledge OF
how we can teach new methods
best, and broaden out ourselves by
associating with the fellow teachers.
| wonder If some of our teachers
will have a reasonable excuse for
not attending the County Institute
No. We will all be there to have
our zeal and enthusiasm quickened
Again. how many school grounds
and flower yards were cleaned off on
18th inst, as requested by the pres
ident of the School Improvement
Association of Monroe county.
My patrons and | met on set
date, scraped our grounds and
worked out flower yard and mag
nificent young shade trees, set two
years ago. We will meet again be-
fore school opens to do some more
work on school grounds and have
an entertainment of some kind, the
proceeds of which will go to buy an
organ for school that we might car
ry out systematic course as nearly
as possible.
On the 18th inst, we had with
us one of the State health officers.
our esteemed friend DIR. Bryan of
Amory. who lectured on diseases
and representatives.. The people
around Boggan School know how
to appreciate such lectures.
At the opening of our school We
expect to have the county health
officer to lecture on school hygiene.
Teachers we are the leaders in
our schools, and it is nothing but
right and our duty to carry to them
the best of everything.
Patrons. no teacher can do good
school work with poorly equipped
school and disinterested patrons.
So lend US a helping hand and CO.
operate in all school movements
that we may quickly build great
country of onr boys and girls.
Respectfully.

Annual Report Railroad Commits
sion of Louisiana.

COOPERATION BETWEEN THE TELE-
PHONE COMPANIES AND THE RAIL
ROAD COMMISSION. Results IN
RAPID DEVELOPMENT AND M
PROVED SERVICE.
Baton Rouge, La, Aug. 1.-THE
eleventh annual report of the Rail-
road Commission of the State OF
Louisiana, has the following inter
esting report on telephone service.
There is duplicate telephone SER
vice at Monroe and Shreveport. all
other places in Louisiana, where
there are exchanges being served by
one system only.
The very few complaints reaching
the commission during the year con-
corning telephone companies. rates
and service. indicates that there has
been much improvement in the
character of the telephone service,
and that it is generally satisfactory.
The telephone has become a neces-
sity; the demands of commerce make
it so. The very nature of the pub
l;c duties of telephone companies
make them natural monopolies, for
when one of these public service
corporations has built its lines into
certain territories it is difficult to
find men who are willing to invest
their capital in the construction of
another plant. The risk of such an
undertaking is too great and the de-.
velopment of the business too re-
stricted to invite duplicate invest
ments, and when they are made
they result necessarily in damage to
both the old and new plant. AS
such structures are permanent, they
cannot. in case of failure. be with
drawn, except at a great loss. The
nature of the public duty of tele-
phone company is therefore of a
very high character, as it undertakes
to supply exclusively public want
or necessity. This want or necessity
must be supplied promptly and the
best apparatus known to science
should be used in furnishing the
service. Competent superintendent
and operators should be employed,
and with such facilitation the best
service should be given to those who
apply for it, upon equal and reason
able terms. These conditions hav-
ing been met, there does not appear
to be any reason for complaint.
The past year has proved these
assertions to be true. The telephone
companies have rendered high
class of service. vastly improved
over the service of previous years,
and out of the $4,000 telephone
subscribers to the various companies
in the State, there have been less
than dozen complaints made to
the Commission and the majority of
these have arisen over disputed
bills.
The toll service is largely operated
by the Cumberland Telephone &
Telegraph Co.. and it is an import
ant factor in the commerce of the
State. The improved facilities pro-
vided by the company has met the
demand of the public. for the high
est class service of which the tele-
phone art is capable.
By constant watchfulness over
these natural monopolistic corpora
tons. the Commission has been en-
abled to make frequent suggestions
as to changes and improvements
which could be made, and the CON-
panies have willingly followed such
suggestions in almost every case.

Thomas n. Benton Could Not Afford
to Remain Estranged From Gen.
eraI After Latter's Praise of
Henry Clay.

One very warm evening in July,
1881, several members of President
Garfield's cabinet went from the White
House to the lawn and stood a while
in such position that they were able
to catch the cooling breeze that came
from the Potomac. There were two or
three friends with them, and all were
in happier frame of mind than they
had been for some time, for the ply
sicians had reported but a short while
before that the president was in a
more comfortable condition than at
any time since he had been shot.
AS they stood thus, enjoying the cool
breeze, Mr.. Blaine, the secretary Of
state, who wore a very thin and some
what frayed alpaca coat and a straw
hat which had certainly seen service
for several summers. turned to his
companions.

Large buildings in the path of the
storm have been blown down and

Although all wires to the interior

Postmaster General Nodarse said
that private advices stated that the
towns of Martinas Guane, La Grifa,
Punta Cartes and Cortes had been
destroyed and that the greater part
of Artemosa, prosperous town on
the boundary of Havana province,
was in ruins.
Thirty persons are reported dead
at Consolation Del Sur, where many
buildings were destroyed. 1t is be-

hand and number of parcels In her
other doubled up arm. They were un-
manageable parcels. Even after the
woman got seat they kept slipping
off her lap at every lurch of the
car and jolted all over the floor.
When the common sense man had
picked up one particularly refractory
parcel for the third time, he said
Madam, may l ask If you have a hat
in that box?"
The woman said she had.
Then allow me to suggest" he
said, that you put 1t on your head
and pack the small hat you now wear
and all your bundles into the box
1t is big enough to hold them all"
Resentment at his interference
flashed across the woman's face. but
just then two more packages slipped
their moorings and her expression
changed to gratitude
Thank you" she said. Then. with
the aid of mirror loaned by a WON
an opposite the transference of hats
was effected and the woman rode the

FIR EMEN HAVE CLOSE CALL
Trapped in Burning Turn Hall by
Falling Roof They Fight
Way to Safety.

Fond du Lac.-Fire which de-
stroyed Turner hall imperiled the
lives of seven firemen. Chief Charles
Doll with a company of men were
trapped in the building when the
roof fell In. Fighting like demons.
and almost overcome by the smoke,
the men attacked a partition with
axes and managed to get out of the
building.
Frank Marshall, a pipeman, was
overcome by smoke and had to be
carried out by his companions All
of the men sustained bad burns.
Dolls mustache was burnt away.
Lieut.. Cleveland, with two tiremen,
had gone up into a cupola to fight
the fire. When the roof fell in the
cupola started to sag. Cleveland and
his men sprang to the hose and amid
the cheers of the crowd in the street
slid to safety.
The fire was started from the out
side Of the building, and when dis
covered the structure was doomed.
Six residences near the hall caught
fire, the roofs of three being badly
burned
