ALL COUNTY SCHOOLS
In fine CONDITION
Rev. E. J. currie Gives Brief But
Comprehensive Review of History
OF Forrest county's Rural School
System.
(By e. J. C.urrie.)

Although Forrest is the Youngest
county in the state we are glad to be
authorized to say that it is by no
means the weakest in educational
strength. 1t is the purpose of our
State constitution to provide that ev-
cry child within its borders shall
have the privilege of at least four
months public school every year. but
Forrest county has been far more gen.
erous than this with her children. Civ
ing from six to eight months to every
child whose parents would make the
effort to send him.
Our schools are all located by the
County School Board, which meets
annually in the month of July to make
necessary changes in district lines
and to establish new schools where
needed. A regular school district by
legal requirements must not contain
less than nine square miles of terri
tory and forty-fve educable children.
There are some exceptions, how
ever, to this general requirement such
as impossible streams, etc. Our
school buildings are comfortable
frame structures containing from one
to four rooms, as the demands of the
community may require. The build
ings up to this time have all been
erected by private subscriptions-that
is the public fund has not been sufn-
cient to justify our appropriating any
aid to the building of school houses,
Most of our buildings are furnished
with comfortable seats (many have
the patent desk) and all are very well
furnished with blackboards. We
have some reason to believe that with
in short time we will be able to aid
from the public fund to some extent
in supplying our schools with the nee
essary mechanical helps such as mans.
globes, ETC.
Teachers and pupils, as a rule, are
identifying the school grounds, in
iuhitASS pldulluS mower
gardens in connection with other i'm
provements made. All this adds very
much to the attractiveness of school
life. Our schools are graded-the
course of study covering the public
school curriculum. Some have added
the High School course which gives
three years work after the pupil has
completed the public school curri-
culum.
When the pupil has finished 81 :

GREAT CORN CROP IN

Solve Many Problems.

Il am prepared to say that the new
'aerovehicle' of the Mitchell factory
will have features. that aeronautical
engineers will greet as not only scien-
tific wonders, but will hail as the sd
luton of many of the problems that
have hitherto been obstacles in tne
path of the better development of the
weight carrying monoplane and Di
plane.
The Mitchell 'aerovehicle' power
plant will be off four cylinder mo-
tor of exceptionally light construe-
ton, stability being afforded by light
aluminium fittings The entire will
have to be fitted to light, flexible
clutch, so as to drive the propeller
and enable the operator to engf1.e
the engine with the propeller at will
and also to assist in starting the en-
CINE from the operators seat. The
Mitchell aeroplanes will be two-pas-
senger .aerovehicle the weight III
designing judgment being in favor Of
the dependibility of a machine with
two operators. With the chances for
matters going wrong under the direc
ton of single operator being SO OBJ
vious, it is the intention of the
Mitchell-Lewis company to reduce 10
the irreducible minimum the element
of danger and disability in the heay-
Ter than air craft. All of the mecnani-
cal features of the .aerovehicle' that
will be built under my direction are
literally protected by basic patents.

THE REVOLUTION
IN HONDURAS
BonilIa VIII Likely Have No Trouble
in Getting
start.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 27.-No
direct cable advices were received
from the scene OF hostilities in Hon
duras last night, but news OF fighting
of a decisive nature is expected dur
ing the present week.
Parties in New Orleans who are
familiar with conditions in Honduras
are of the opinion that General Man
uel Bonilla, who is waging war against
President Davila, is concentrating his
forces at a point west of Ceiba, for
the purpose of capturing that town
Bonilla will probably have little
difficulty in capturing Ceiba, as it is
not fortified and many of the govern
ment troops at that place are reported
TO be disloyal to Dayila and sympa-
thizers with Bonilla. With Ceiba in
his hands, Bonilla will use it for a
base of operations against Tegu-
cfgalpa, the capital. He will not only
import his arms and ammunition
through Ceiba. but he will collect the
customs duties at that port and use
the funds thus derived in his war
against Davila.
The action of the United States in
recognizing the right of the Estrada
faction to collect the customs duties
at Bluefelds, Nicaragua, has en-
couraged the Bonilla colony in New
Orleans to believe that the state de-
partment will accord the Bonillaites
the same rights in Honduras. Nearly
all Americans IN Honduras are Bonilla
sy.npathizers.

Urging aeronautical experts to util-

of "airship" in describing heavier than

Mitchell-Lewis company of Raciu..

study of the manufacture of aero

the big automobile company into the

TRAVELLING ANARCHIST
OF RED HAIR TYPE
Treason In Bad Form Eyemplified
on Sixth Street Tuesday
Night.

On Tuesday night an anarchist
with red hair whose name we did not
learn but who palmed himself off
on this community as socialist.
made speech on Sixth street in front
# the Layton hotel in which he used
language which could only come
from an individual who is opposed
to all government Of every kind.
When he declared that the "Father
of his country" was thief and that
ex-President Roosevelt was a mur-
derer, the patience of his hearers
became exhausted and he saw certain
indications that convinced him that
IL would be best to retire but before
doing so he promised to make an
other talk on Wednesday night, and
according an aggregation Of citizens
went to hear him, prepared to give
fitting reception with stale
eggs Our well known friend and
everybody's friend, who Is sometimes
called Mr.. Debs, but more famillarly
known as Gold Teeth, waited on the
stranger while he was speaking and
brought him water. This gentleman
appeared in front Of the Layton. ex-
pecting evidently the anarchist, but
was apparently disappointed and so
to make good he took the stand him
self and poured out an argument
which we have all heard so often
from his lips Finally, like the ora
tor OF the night before, he became
thirsty and called for glass OF
water, Someone grabbed hose and
turned on a shower OF the genuine
thirst quencher. A half dozen Others
Melted him with the stale eggs they
had In store for the other fellow.
This was an outrage, OF course,
which should be punished. as he was
not responsible for the REASONABLE
utterances Of his friend OF the red
hair OF the night before. He fled
after most OF the spoiled eggs had
been broken on his person.
