Monday afternoon the High
School foot bali team held their
first practice of the season. The
out look for a winning team is most
flattering, although not as many
old men returned as had been ex
pected. OF last years squad, Capt.
Crosby, Pope, Brewer Beckham
and Knighton were on hand, and
only unavoidable circumstances are
keeping Johnson and Therrell out
for a few days, but these men will
soon be back in their uniforms
working for the team. OF the new
men trying out are Whitaker. Jack
son, Minis. Maier, Smith, and
Leftwich, who show unusual ability,
and are good fast men. There is
enough material TO have two teams,
which will enable the varsity to
play better ball. While it is i'm
possible to tell yet who will make
the team, it is easily seen that the
team will be unusually fast. and
will carry may victories in the in
ter-scholastic games this fall. At
the first meeting of the Athletic
Association held Monday, Irwin
Rrewar vas made President of the
association, and Condry Pope was
made Captain of the team.

Community Dipping Tanks for
EradiCating Ticks.

Until recently there was no mix
ture known in which cattle could
be safely dipped The so-called
arsenic dip has been found quite
effective in killing the ticks when
handled with reasonable care. To
fill tank of average size it will
not cost to exceed $500 for the
materials. It does not deteriorate
in quality and may be used for tw !
or three months. If a dipping
pen is made for the cattle the loss
of material is not rapid and 200
or 300 animals may be dipped at
cost of not over $500. The small
cost of dipping and its effectiveness
make community or neighborhoOd
dipping tanks practicable. When
herds are above five head and va
eating pastures cannot be done,
then each neigh borhood should
build dipping tank by popular
subscription. For this season $50
90 could be raised by voluntary
subscription for the purchase of the
materials, and then as many as
will donate their labor in construc-
ting it. Any tank with reasonable
care will last as long as it is necessary
to dip to eradicate the ticks; but
it is desirable to last as long as
possible in order that it may be
used for the dipping of hogs. sheep.
cattle and other live stock to free
them of lice and other external
parasites. The concrete tank is
the most desirable, and of little,
if any higher cost than the others,
about 5 feet of liquid in the vat is
necessary. and the sides should be 2
feet higher. TO prevent loss by
splashiug when the animal goes in
to the tank. The bottom of the
vat should be Is inches wide and
Is feet long. At the surface of the
i dip, the vat may be 3 feet wide
and % feet long. In using the
arsenical dip there are certain
dangers which must be carefully
avoided. 1t is the best dip known,
but any material that will kill the
ticks can not be harmless and with

"A Tribute of Love-" Miss Jeffie
Berry.

Fallen asleep on the bosom Of her
Savior and clasped safely in his
loving arms, our sweet Jeffie's spirit
has wended its flight to realms or
high, and has joined the precious
loved ones gone on before. She
now awaits US to join her in that

Jeffie was all that was good.

faithful Christian. just in the bloom

her nineteenth year and to know
her was to love her.
1t seems hard that she should be
so ruthlessly torn from US. but some
day, some time. We'll understand.
Death is only a dream.
She leaves a father and mother
and six brothers and three sisters to
follow after her and may they so
live that theirs will be an unbroken
family in Heaven. Weep not. dear
ones. she awaits you at the Pearly
Gates beckoning. This Way! We
know she is there for she told US so.
She was ready to 60.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed.
o, that dear one, how we loved her,
O, how hard to give her up;
But an angel came down for her.
And removed her from our flock.
Farewell. dear Jefiie. Sweet be thy
rest,
We miss the sunshine Of thy face;
Fare well til in that happy place.
We shall behold thy sweet face again.
Asleep in Jesus. blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep.
A calm and undisturbed repose.
Unbroken by the last of foes.
May the dear Lord richly bless

State Senator Bilbo of Poplarville
addressed the people of Smithville
Saturday night on the tall secret
caucus of the Mississippi Legislature.
Senator Bilbo was met by one OF
the largest gatherings ever assem-
bled at Smithville to hear any one
speak. Standing room, sitting
room, crying room. receiving room
some say shouting room was at
premium everywhere. We were de-
lighted to see the ladies grace the
occasion with their presence. La
dies we thank you for your presence.
Any cause you lend your influence
to must win. We, of the Nardaman
followers are making a fight for
your protection. Our womanhood
of the cities are under police prOtec-
ton and have no fears to guard
against. The womanhoOd of the
country has not this protection.
Some Of the wise ones say Gov.
Nardaman cannot carry out his
views. There has never been one
effort made along that line to test
the pulse of the people OF the United
States and if we wait on such
granny" Statesmen as John Sharp
Williams, Gov. Noel and Leroy
Percy, we will never know.
Senator Bilbo's speech was a
masterful effort in defence of free
dom of speech and representative
government.
The stage in the Smithville school
ball was beautifully decorated with
ferns and cut flowers to stimulate
the young Pearl river giant to
greater effort. Senator Bilbo was
presented by J. b. Cheek in few
remarks that opened the
gates for what was soon to follow.
Senator Bilbo is brilliant

WOFF0RD WINS CONTEST.
Erskine Second i'm State Inter- Cole
giate 0ratOrical Contest at
Greenwood.

Wofford took first medal and Frs
kline second in the State inter-colle-
giate oratorical contest held at
Greenwood on last Friday night. Mr..
C. H. Kreps, the representative of
Newberry college, acquitted himself
with a great deal of credit to him
self and to the college which he rep
resented.

test as sent out from Greenwood by
the representatives of the press:

surprising that many well-meanlng

"Within the last few years there
has been a notable moral unrest
among all classes Of people and the
resulting Investigations in politics,
railroad and insurance management
and countless other fields OF activity
have shown that our most honora5f
and honest citizens have been guilty
of acts that in their ultimate analy-
sis seem questionable, if not actually
criminal. To goodly proportion OF
these men an accusation OF dlshon-
esty would have been an insult. II
they, as insurance presidents, main
tained expensive lobbies and paid
for legislative protection or immu-
nifty, they were but serving their po-
hcyholders, the widows and orphans.
If as directors of railroads they gave
rebates and protected themselves in
divers ways against legislative brl-
gandage, they also were but SAFE
guarding the interests Of their stock
holders. And so it went all down
the line. The people kept certain
men in Office because they made
good in serving their constituency,
individually and collectively. The
office holders traded their votes on
railroad. insurance or other matters
for patronage, a liberal portion out
of the pork BARREL or few more
pensions. The main consideration in
looking at the proposition is that no
one questioned these transactions.
It was the custom; no one expected
anything else. AS man who is re-
spected and admired by every one
who knows him, recently said, No
body thought these things dishonest
until somebody said they were and
then everybody knew it. 1t was the
manner of looking at these various
matters, in other words, purely
question of education. No reason
able, fair-minded man can believe
for minute that many Of those who
were the most fragrant offenders rea-
lized that their acts we're wrong and
dishonest. Most Of them were men
who priced their honor, reputation
and record of success high above
everything"
Honesty, the writer concludes, is
largely matter of education and
training, but this does not mean that
we are naturally dishonest. In a
state of uneducated mentality, hu-
man beings are neither honest nor
dishonest. A study Of primitive peo-
pie and of children proves this. To
quote again: Honesty in it's primary
or preliminary stages is simply So
cial reciprocity. As the social Or
ganism becomes more complex, hon
