FAIRGROUNDS OF CITY
IN NEED OF MORE CASH
Management Hopes to Provide
Amusement Program Dur
ing Winter.

All municipal Fairgrounds will have to
close within very few days unless money
is received to keep them going. An eff
fort will be made to keep the grounds
open every Saturday during the winter,
but this can only be accomplished. 1t is
claimed, by strenuous efforts. At meet
ing of the board of directors of the WASH
ington Playground Association, held at
the Board Of Trade rooms yesterday, it
was voted to do everything possible to
keep the grounds open every day until
November II. and every Saturday after
that.
According to James E. West, secretary
of the association, II will take $500 to
carry this plan through. He said today
that many people who would ordinarily
have contributed to the support of the
eleven Fairgrounds have held back be-
cause Of the general impression that the
money received from the recent horse
show would carry the association through
the winter.
An Erroneous Impression.
This impression is erroneous. according
to Mr.. West. who understands that only
about $500 will be turned over to the
association from the show.
The attendance at the grounds Is shown
to be greater in the fall than it was in

Trouble For tho TOURISTS.


There is a story on record Of three
Irishmen rushing away from the race
meeting at Punchestown to catch q
train back to Dublin At the moment
a train from long distance pulled up
at the station. and the three men
scrambled in. In the carriage was
seated one other passenger. AS soon
as they had regained their breath one
said:
"Pat, have you got TIL tickets"
"What tickets? I've got me loife!
I thought I'd have lost that gettin' in
tn thrain. Have you got 'em, Moike!'
:Oi? Begorrah, haven't!'
"Oh, we're all done for, thin" said
the third. They'll charge us roight
from TIL other soide of Oireland."
The old gentleman looked over his
newspaper and said:
"You are quite safe, gintlemen. wait
till we get to TIL next station"
As soon as the train pulled up the
little gentleman jumped out and came
back with three first class tickets.
Handing them to the astonished stran-
gers. he said: whist! I'll tell you how
did it! whit along tn thraln.
Tickets, place; tickets, place! called,
and these belong to three Saxon towr-
lists in another carriage"

Banks on the Lookout.

A merchant in large city allowed
his name to be posted in his club three
times for nonpayment Of dues. A few
days after the last posting he applied
to his bank for loan. When the ap-
plication came up to the banks credit
man-that newest Of banks impor-
tant officials-he pulled out the Gus
toner's history card.
The latest entry was one typewriter
sentence, "Does not pay his club dues;
three times delinquent" The loan was
refused. The merchant was either
careless. near broke or unappreciatiTe
Of his credit standing. ANY of these
reasons looked bad to the banker.

SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS
ADOPTED LAST NIGHT
Commission Takes Final Action after
Lengthy and Strenuous
Session.

The text books for the public schools
of Mississippi for the next five years
have been adopted. The commission
took final action last Saturday night
after strenuous days session. Fri
day fight began in the rooms of the
commission over the adoption Of q
work on physiology, and it was con-
tinued yesterday, at times becoming
rather heated, and resulted in the dis
card of the book that has been used the
past five years and the adoption OF
Mayberry's edition, put out by the
Southern Publishing Co. This was not
the only change, by any means, as it is
estimated that total change was made
amounting to more than 30 per cent. ON
the old adoption.
Many Of the book representatives
left the city last night, and others will
follow today, all of them, whether sue
cessful or not, with words of praise for
the men who composed the school
book commission. It seems to be the
general opinion that there was not
even the suspicion Of a shady trans
action by any one of the members COM
posing the body appointed to say what
books should be used in the schools of
the State. While several changes were
made it will be noted that they were
mostly substitutions of Southern work
better suited to conditions in this
State, and in at least two instances the
books selected are the works of Mis-
sissippi men. The writing books are
those of Prof. ]. c. FAINT, of Meridian,
while the Mississippi History is the
work OF Prof. Riley Of the State In
iversity.
Following is a full list Of the books
adopted:

"There is we'll defined difference
between peddlers and merchants. Ever
since there has been privilege tax
law in Mississippi the legislature has
classified the two occupations and has
taxed them separately. One il sta
tionary and the other migratory. Ono
makes deliveries from his store, the
other from his peddler's pack, as the
case may be. II You have anyone in
your town who is engaged in keeping .
store and selling goods therefrom, and
also takes part of that merchandise
and sells it from wagons around over
the city, he is liable for both taxes and
also liable for state, county and city
tax, both as . merchant and ped
dler."
