the cost in railroad and Pullman

Considering these matters. New

by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17.500,000
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000.
Within radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans there are 65,000,O0
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average Of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of our
principal cities with a combined
population of 100000. Averaging
800 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities. with a COM
bined population of just 100000.
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over 75 per cent. Of the people of
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex.

Pupils are quick 70 detect the
teacher who has no definite aim in
view and very often this occasions
much of the disorder that exists
in the school room.
Therefore the we'll trained teach
er familiarzes herself with the sub
Ject matter then plans her work
with great care. She knows what
to teach, when to present it and
how to express it to secure the
earnest attention of every pupil.
Neither does the trained teacher
neglect the hand training O" her
pupils with scissors, pencil, pen
paint brush, she teaches them to
control their muscles, not solely
for the purpose Of learning to do
but for the power it has over the
will of the child.
More over every true teacher
realizes that education is nothing
unless it has for it's chief aim the
development of the pupils char
acter. By example and precept,
with song and story, and by con-
tinually holding before the pupil
that which is noble and good in
the lives of others she endeavOrs
to inspire the pupil to live right
with God and with all mapkind.
Thus we have learned that she
is the best teacher who trains the
heads of her pupils to think the
best, their hearts to feel the deep
est and their hands to do the
most.
Now let us as teachers, repeat
in spirit and in truth, this gem
from Louisa May AlcOtt-
: L am glad task to me is given,
To labor at day by day;
For it brings me health and strength,
and hope.
And l cheerfully learn to say,
Head you may think, Heart you may
feel,
But hand you shall work Away"

Run OF Your Merits.

The current issue of the Miss
issippi Union Advocate has an ar
ticle from the pen Of it's former
editor, Mr.. B. F. Ward, Jr., that
contains a bit of good advice to
political aspirants.
One clause of the article is as
follows:
"Being a member of the Far
mers' Union does not in any way
prohibit or discourage the aspira-
tions of any man for any office,
but for Gods sake run on your
own merits, as man, and not a
member of the Farmers Union. -
This is sound advice, and it can
be made applicable to persons
other than members of the Far
merS' Union.
In Mississippi we hear a great
deal of talk today about Vrrda-
man and anti Vardaman candi-
dates.
The man who makes himself the
tail of some other PERSONS politi-
cal kite is unworthy to hold any
office.
You might as well try to get in
to heaven on your wife's religion
as to try to get a public Office by
representing yourself as a friend
of foe of Vardaman.
The voters of Mississippi, taken
as whole, are honest and intel
ligent. They are not going to
honor any man whose chief claim
to their preference is that he is
the friend of some other man.
If you desire to be candidate,
it is your constitutional privilege
to do so. But don't make your
self ridiculous in the eyes Of the
voters by attaching yourself as a
barnacle to the political ship cap
tanned by some other office seeker.
Such a policy not only exhibits
your own weakness, and lack of
but there is strong prob
ability that the hull of the politi
cal ship to which you attach your
self is rotten, and likely to go to
the bottom almost any moment.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
The Importance of Trained Teachers.

This idea of training is as old as
life itself. The Bible tells us to
train up a child in the way he
should go. Does not this grea t
truth call for the trained parent
and the trained teacher? The
trained person inspires confidence
and respect.
Today, as never before, the
world clamOrs for efficiency. AS
examples of this world wide truth
we see the masses gathering about
the aeroplane, the result of the
trained minds and muscles Of the
wright brothers. Likewise, peO-
pie travel hundreds Of miles to a
hospital where they may receive
treatment from the we'll trained
surgeon. If we turn now to the
dearest spot on earth the home
we see father and mother making
all manner of sacrifices to place
their children under the direction
and care of well trained teachers.
Therefore, we should ask our
selves this question: Are we
trained teachers! Do we have a
definite aim? DO we plan our
work? Do we, train mind and
muscle? Above all things do we
develop character?
The teacher realizes her greatest
need is Self-cOntrOl. "He that rul-
eth his own spirit is greater than
he that taketh a CITY," The
steady nerve, the calm glance and
the sympathetic voice of the teach
er often brings the refractory pu-
pill to his senses.
The trained teacher has a keen
insight into human nature, con-
sequently he shows much tact. He
understands the necessity of Iiv-
ing at peace with all mankind.
Her self possession must soothe
the restless child, her courage
must conquer the angry parent.
She must know when to suggest
and when to command, when to
praise and when to criticise, when
to laugh and when to be serious.

Adams Soil Survey Completed.

DR.. E. n. Lowe, state geologist,
returned Saturday afternoon from
Natchez, where he spent several
days comforting with the state and
government field workers who
have been making soil survey OF
Adams county.
DR.. Lowe states that the force
of biologists who have been en-
ployed in Adams county will be
at once transferred to NOxubec
county to aid in completing the
soil survey of that county which
has been under way since the frs t
Of January.
The next county selected for
geological activity is Lauderdale,
which will be given complete
survey during the summer months.
Although the legislature was
rather penurious in dealing with
the Mississippi Geological Com
mission, few of the members seem
ing to realize the far-reaching i'm
portance of it's work, the willing
ness of the United States GeOlo-
gical Survey to cooperate with
the state commission makes it pos
sible to continue the work through
out the year.-JackSOn News.

The South and Her Cotton.

! The South, with her cOmbina.
tiOn of sun and soil, has long en-.
JOyed supremacy in the prOduc
tiOn of cotton, but, impressed by
the demands of the English spin
nerS, Great BrittOn is now MAX
ing persistent efforts to grow cot
ton IN the British colonies, while
Germany is engaged in similar eff
forts in her West African posses
siOns. So far these experiments
have met with little success, hence
the South feels that her suprema-
cy is secure, but in this cOmpla-
cency there may be danger.
1t is we'll to call attention to a
report recently sent to the State
Department by United States
Consul General at Moscow con
corning cotton growing and manu-
facture in Russia. This report de-
mands serious consideration, for
the fact is set forth that in that
area of central Asia, which lies
between Persia and Afghanistan,
Russia is now raising about a mil
lion bales of cotton annually, and
90 per cent Of it is high quality.
The needs of Russia, however
calls for at least two million bales
a year, and if the raw cotton
could be Obtainable under favOra-
bic conditions the demand from
Spinners would be greatly increas-
ed. But the Russian manufact-
urers say, the report tells us, that
If the gambling continues in the
United States, as in 1909, they
will make a gigantic effort to de-
.velOp an irrigation system in Cen
tral Asia which will result in an
abundant supply of cotton and
make them independent of the
American growers,
Therefore the time may come
when our supremacy in the mat
ter of cotton growing will not be
as secure we now imagine it to be,
hence it would not be wise for the
South to close her eyes to the fact
that economic forces are at work
which seek to destroy the supre-
macy in cotton which she now en-

CUSSING OUT THE COMMITTEE.

| gagged IN cuSSlng out the State

cy." They are roasting the
committee as though they might
be robbers or road agents, vii
lains of the deepest dye, trick
sters who would not hesitate to
do any diabo'ical act to defeat
their earthly idol. The fact that
the committee is the sovereign
head Of the Democracy of Miss
issippi, and was elected by the
last Democratic State Conven-
ton, that they are gentlemen Of
high character, any one of them
the equal of Vardaman or his
critical friends, does not change
matters in the least-all men
who oppose him are in league
with the devil to hatch up some
scheme to defeat him. With
them there is a thief in every
bush" D." and all of the villains are
in the ranks Of the Opposition. :"
What power this deposition"
must have, bad as it is, diaboli-
cal as it must be from the stand
point of the Vardamanians; what
influence this gang of schemers
must possess throughout Miss
issippi, See! They were strong
enough to defeat Vardaman with
Williams; they had the power to
checkmate every move made by
the supporters of his Ex-EXcel-
lency in the last Legislature;
they had the strength to follow
Democratic precedent and or
der a caucus to nominate a Uni
ted States Senator, as all others
have been nominated, Ey a secret
ballot; they had the votes in
that awful caucus, which has
thrown so many idolators into
fits, to defeat Vardaman the sec
ond time and elect Percy to the
Senate. Then this terrible ''op-
position - concentrated in the
State Executive Committee, had
the power to hatch up another
scheme and flush Vardaman
again. This Opposition" is al
ways, doing something terrible |
and awful, to judge by what is
being said by the routed hosts,
and if they are not stopped in
their wild career, they are likely
to defeat Vardaman again, for
the thing seems to be contagious,
infections and powerfully catch
ing.
