Gov. Vardaman's Speech.

EX-Gov. Vardaman was introduced
by DR.. Donald, and delivered a brief
but very eloquent speech, which en-
listed the earnest attention of the en-
tire audience. He said he was glad
they were to have no politics today:
that he was glad to get away from
the subject himself, and felt that the
people needed a rest He stated that
the w. o. w. as an organization were
doing a good work; that they deserved
the encouragement of good people and
he believed they were wise and just in
admitting ladies into their organiza-
tion. He believed indeed there was
not much in the world that was worth
anything where good women were left
out of it. The greatest battles of our
war were fought by the patient ones
who remained at home and suffered in
loneliness and sorrow the trials that
came to them there. He said the
greatest inspiration that he had dur
ing the Spanish-American war, while
engaged in the discharge of the du-
ties of soldier. was from thoughts
of a loving mother and wife in the
home which he had left behind him.
He knew he had their prayers and
sympathy, and that these would follow
him wherever duty called.
He referred to the beautiful monu-
ment recently erected here, to the
memory of the Confederate dead, and
said that he would be glad to see these
monuments at every place in the
country; that in building them the
people were honoring themselves.
He had always thought that politi-
cal office would be source of pleasure
as well as honor; but as governor he
had found the office burdened with
care and felt that office was not to be
desired except as affording an oppor-
tunity for usefulness.
The speech though brief was
eloquent and interesting and was
greatly appreciated by the large audi
ence that heard it; and the frequent
applause which greeted the speaker
bore testimony to his great popularity
with the people here.

WOODMEN DRILL
WAS PICTURESQUE
Members of Uniform Rank Executed
Field Drill and Maneuvres at
Hamper Park Yesterday.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
local companies of the Uniform Rank
of Woodmen of the World were an
ticipating the assistance of number
of out-of-town companies in the CON-
petative field drill and maneuvres at
Hamper Park yesterday, and were
very much disappointed when these
companies failed to put in an appear
ance, the hundreds of spectators who
witnessed the drill and maneuvres of
Companies c and d, at the baseball
park were by no means disappointed.
The companies in regular uniform,
under their respective commanding
officers, Captains Gray and Estes,
formed line of march around the pa
Wilton, and, after executing a few
commands marched to the ball park,
where they passed in review.
The movements executed by the
uniformed men was identical with
those of the army, their codes and
manuals being identical, with the diff
ference that instead of muskets the
Woodmen carry axes. The officers
carry swords and the commands were
given just as military commands are
given. Notwithstanding the fact that
both the Hattiesburg companies have
been but recently organized, the drills
yesterday afternoon were highly
creditable. Every command was exc.
cuted with promptness and one would
have Thought the men had been prac-
ticing for several months.
The manual of axes was gone
through with, all orders were executed
promptly and accurately, and the spec
tacle was pleasing and interesting in
the extreme. The field movements
were exceptionally good.
Captains Estes and Gray deserve
much credit for getting their compa-
nies in such excellent shape in such d
short time. and their performance
yesterday will doubtless result in their
respective companies being recruited
to the desired number.

Splendid ADDRESSES BY
Whitfield and TALLY
Program Was Carried Out In Most
ExcelIexnt Style, And Diplomas
Were Presented to Twenty-Six
Graduates.

The Auditorium was packed to it's
utmost capacity last night at the clos
ing exercises of the city public
schools, and every feature of the elab-
crate program was carried out with
out hitch and in most acceptable
manner.
The stage of the Auditorium was
beautifully decorated with flowers and
the school colors, and the large num-
Der of sweet girl graduates dressed
in their pretty white graduating
gowns lent beauty and charm to the
settings
The program was commenced with
two musical numbers by the school
chorus. "All Hail, Land of the Free
and May Time" were sung with
much feeling and expression, the
young voices ringing out clearly and
distinctly and thrilling the large au-
dience with their melody.
Rev. Simpson-Atmore, rector of
Trinity Episcopal church, pronounced
the invocation, after which the Girls
Glee Club rendered two numbers,
Welcome, Pretty Primrose" and
THE Rosary The Glee Club is
composed of several pupils of the
High School, many of whom evidenced
splendid talent in executing these
numbers.
Prof. F. B. Woodley, superintendent
of the city schools, then made his u.s.
ual announcements concerning the
various schools of the city, giving a
brief outline of the sessions work
and prospects for the future, after
which the chorus rendered another
number, "Como, Fairies" a light and
pleasing frivolity.
At the conclusion of this song Rev.
E. j. Currie introduced Hon. A. H..
Whitfield, president of the Industrial
Institute and College Preside Mt
Whitfield expressed qualification at
being given an opportunity to ad-
dress such a large number of young
people who formed the graduating
class of the Hattiesburg Schools for
the session 19O9-1910, and was graft
fed also at the great interest mani
tested by citizens of the city by the
largo ottapdopca npon tho oJooino nv
ercises of the school.
Mr.. Whitfield's address was along
educational lines, concerning the
progress made by Mississippi along
these lines as compared with other
states, and deplored the fact that our
public school system was not alto
gether up to the standard.
His idea of education was to pre-
pare the minds Of the boys and girls
to meet and successfully dispose of
those problems which would confront
them in everyday life; more atten-
tion should be given to industrial and
manual training in the public schools,
anu less to the teaching or ancient
history; subjects the knowledge of
which could be Of no great benefit to
the average citizen.
Mr. Whitfield expressed gratifica-
ton at the knowledge that some new
features had been recently added to
the Hattiesburg public schools, and
complimented the superintendent and
board of trustees for the establish
ment of the department of domestic
science. 1t was his idea that the boz
should be prepared to take care Of
himself in life by imparting to him
knowledge of current affairs. while
the doctrine of home-making should
be expounded to the girls and every
effort in this direction given all posi-
BILE encouragement.

OLD PROCESS EXPENSIVE.

White lead today is made mostly
by what is called the old Dntch
process, which necessitates the re-
duction of the lead ore to thin sheet
lead metal, the white lead being
produced by allowing the fumes OF
vinegar to work on the lead, pro-
ducing a chemical combination re-
sulting in the coating of the sheet
lead with thin layers of the white
lead, which when mixed with lin
seed oil, is the commercial product.
This process is expensive and it
takes about four months, and it is
necessary for the large manufac-
turer to have thousands of dollars
invested continually in the lead
metal and there are other objec-
tons to it.
Now what Kingsley thinks he
can do is to take the lead concen-
trates as they come from the mill,
before they reach the smelter, and
by the action of chemicals, the ma
ture of which are kept secret, dis
solve the lead, zinc and other metal
from the ore and by the addition to
the solution other chemicals precip-
itate the white lead, taking only a
day in the process. ''->s'. -
