MILWAUKEE, VACATION SCHOOL;

Vacation schools offer not task but
a privilege to those pupils who attend,
and that II is SO regarded applications
and waiting lists show, says the Mil
waukee Free Press. More would-be
pupils apply than can possibly be ac'
commodated, Book learning Is not
the mode at the vacation school,
where the more social method OF oral
instruction with demonstration takes
It's place, since entertainment as well
as instruction Is the aim, and pupils
are introduced to a form of knowledge
which viii give them new resources
for their leisure nours, Instead of
memori2ing or poring over lgures the
eager classes are given manual train
ing, gymnastics, and, best of all, are
taken TO the parks or the country
once a week for nature study, or to
vacant lots to learn something about
flowers and vegetable gardening.

DATE
Of The Big County Picnic
Wednesday Aug. 10
Arrangements Being Made
For The Event

AS Thursday is an especially busy
day in some lines, the executive COM
mittee of the Citizens association de-
termined yesterday to change the date
of the big county picnic from Thurs
day, Aug. II to Wednesday August 10.
The Citizens Association has secur-
ed the services of Court Bailiff Pur-
cell to help them in completing the de-
tails of the picnic. Last year, the
committee raised and expended nearly
$500 in providing entertainment; this
year, tAis hoped, an even larger
amount may be secured.

MceuFFEY AND THE POETS
lChicago Record.Heraldl

(Chicago RecordHerald)
William II. McGuffey has been pro
posed for a niche in the Hall of Fame.
There are many people in this coun-
try who have never heard of McGuf-
fey, but their parents will be able to
explain to them what he did. If it
had not been for him how many of the
middle-aged citizens of the United
States would ever have learned by
heart such poems as THE Old Arm
Chair" THE Village Blacksmith"
"The Burial of Sir John Moore"
"Thanatopsis," "A Psalm of Life"
"Elegy in "A Country Churchyard," l."
"The Raven" "Lochinyar" and The
Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers?' 1t
was McGuifey who made Longfellow
and Bryant and Poe and Mrs. Hemans
and Eliza Cook and Fitzgreen Hallack
and N. p. Willis famous.
Dozens of others whose names have
become household words would never
have been known to the populace il it
had not been for McGuffey. Nor did
his influence die when his readers
were discarded by the Public School
Boards of the land Other compilers
have availed themselves of his work.
They have taken his books, rear
ranged the contents and handed them
down to the sons and daughters Of
the people who got them direct from
McGuffey. Emerson might be as well
and as favorably known in America
as Bryant and Longfellow are if he
had written a few poems that McGuf.
fey could have used.
One of the reasons-pe perhaps the on
ly good reason--why present-day poets
are not popular is that there is no
McGuffey to put their poems in the
readers now in use. McGuffey shut
out all the poets who were to come
after him. BY furnishing later com
pliers with material and thereby max
ing 1t unnecessary for them to do any
more than pick from his collections
such 'pieces" as they may require he
has put the modern poets at a disad
vantage which they can never hope tc
overcome.
McGuffey may deserve a place IN
the Hall of Fame, but the poets who
are at present plugging away will hard
ly become enthusiastic supporters o.
the proposition to put him in.

Bitten By A Dog Was A
Young Child

The eight-year-old daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Barney Burns of Frederick
town, was severely bitten by dog
while playing near her home on Thurs
day morning at about eight o'clock.
The child approached the dog from the
rear, and being deaf, it did not hear her
until she touched it with her hand.
This frightened the animal and it
quickly turned and siezed her face
with its teeth. The left eyelid was
severely lacerated, but on examination
DR.. ]. II. Norrick, who was called
in attendance, found that the sight of
the eye would not be impaired.

appointed to look after important
matters and they have started to
work in earnest, The work to
be taken up is that of auditing
the past years Iwork of the
league, looking after a location

all assistance possible. The

Total Value of Cotton Crop.

New Orleans, September g.
That the value OF the cotton which
the south marketed during the
commercial season recently closed
far surpasses that of any previous
year in the history of the country
in spite of a short crop, was the
principal feature of the annual re-
port put out today by Col. Henry
G. Hester, for many years the sec
retary and statistician of the New
Orleans cotton exchange.
The money value of the COM
mercial crop during the season
1909-10 is placed at $778,894, 900,
showing that while the quantity
of cotton marketed was 3,216,OOO
bales less than the previous sea-
son it brought $95,10O,0O0 more.
This does not include the value of
cotton seed, which, if added, would
show the actual wealth producing
capacity of the southern cotton
lands for the commercial year just
closed to have been $902, 1894, 600,
a gain over 10000 of 1927, 100000
According to complete reports
from both northern and southern
centers, the south, for the
third consecutive season, manu-
factured more cotton than the
north and increased the lead which
it held last season.

MET AND FORMED
AN ORGANIZATION
PROTEST BUYING SEED COTTON
COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO GO BEFORE
OIL MILL MEN AND OTHERS AND PUT
MATTER BEFORE THEM

Some of the most prominent
citizens of the county held a
meeting at the court house Mon
day morning and discussed the
problem of entering a protest
against oil mill men and others
buying seed cotton. For some
time the planters have realized
that it was a poor policy for their
tenants to dispose of their cotton
before it was ginned, and at this
meeting steps were taken to ar
range for it to be ginned and
baled before being marketed.
In this way much trouble and
perhaps many dollars will be
saved the managers. An organ
ization was perfected and Mr..
Charles Evans was elected presi-
dent, and Mr.. l.. A. Vaughan
was made secretary.
After several strong SpeecheS
on the subject a resolution was
offered by Mr.. J. T. Armstrong
that a committee of five be az
pointed to wait upon those likely
to purchase seed cotton. ard put
the matter before them in its
true light. After the resolution
was adopted Messrs. w d. Hum
phries, J. E. Cox, J. T. Arm
strong, Thomas Dee, and j. G.
Hackleman were appointed.
The committee was requested
to meet next Saturday at IL
O'Clock at the court house, and
make a report as to how they
were received and what the oil
mill men and others thought of
their plans. Oil mill men and
all others concerned are invited
to be present at the next meet
ing.

PERCY AT BROOKHAVEN

Brookhaven, Miss, Sept. o.
After the grand jury was organ
lied and charged this morning
by Judge Miller a recess was
taken. in order to allow Senator
Leroy Percy an opportunity to
speak to the large crowd assem-
bled. Every available at in
the court house was filled, and
Senator Percy was listened to
with respectful and courteous at
tention throughout his address
of an hour and half. 1t was
Senator Percy's first appearance
before Lincoln county audience,
and very few of them had ever
seen him before.
He gave a brief review Of his
personal and professional career,
touching upon national questions,
and spoke in condemnation of
future gambling in cotton and
approved the house bill now
pending in congress in
tended to abolish this evil.
He then went into a defense
of the senatorial caucus
held in Jackson last winter, and
claimed that it had precedents in
the caucus which nominated
George Walthall, Money and Me
Laurin. in which caucuses he de-
clared ex-Gov. Vardaman par
ticipated as member of the
legislature.
The senator criticised Varda-
man as race agitator whose ef-
forts would be futile except to
stir up strife between the races
and seditions, and claimed that |
it would be suicidal the republi-
can north to assist the south in
of the race ques-
ton in politics, quoting the ma
tional republican platform in
this connection. Commercial

FROM CHANCELLOR McCOOL.

Kosciusko, Miss, Sept. ;, 1910.
To the People of the Sixth Chan
cery Court District:
| deem it proper to express my
gratitude to the people of our dis
trict for their loyal support Of me,
and especially to Governor Noel
for re-appointing me Chancellor
To be appointed Chancellor of our
great district three times during
recent years when political antag-
onisms at times would ascend
above the high water mark, is
certainly a nice compliment, which
| duly appreciate.
Nine-tenths of the attorneys and
county officers of our district this
time, and the other two times,
when / was appointed, heartily
endorsed me, and these three ap-
pointments, by Governors Lon
gino, Vardaman, and Noel, came
to me as a proper result OF such
endorsement, and not to
promote the political interest of
the appointing powers either time,
or as favoritism shown to me.
Each time, the requirement pre-
scribed by the governors was that
the applicants should have large
endorsements by the Bar and
county officers of our district, and
this test | complied with as above
stated. By the Grace of God, |
hope to make my next admins
tration my best one.
Respectfully,
James F. McCOol.
