Presented With Loving Cup

AS a memorial of a session of
remarkable success, and as a
token of their recognition of her
intrinsic worth, the girls who
knew her best and loved her
most, presented Miss Minor
White Latham with a silver low
ing cup. Wednesday morning.
Miss Latham, who is one of the
most highly educated and cul-
tured women of the state, is the
first assistant of the English de-
partment of the Industrial In
stitute and College; and, not on
ly has she in that capacity rem
dered the college inestimable
service by the high quality of
her work and scholarship, but
she has also, by her symphathet-
ic understanding of human ma
ture and sincerely, made many
friends and ardent admirers a.
mong the girls and the faculty.
The cup which was given, not by
any class or organization, but by
her friends from all classes and
organizations of the school, was
a spontaneous expression of af-
affection for Miss Latham, both
as a great teacher and as a
noble woman. 1t was presen ted
in a characteristic manner by
the girls. who sang their favor
ite songs, and yelled their favor
ite yells, and chose Miss Matte
Welborn of the class of 1910, as
speaker. Such a gift can but
slightly represent the esteem in
which Miss Latham is held, and
is but a poor expression of the
sincere feeling that prompted it.
The girls of the |. |. & c. are
deeply appreciative of the value
of Miss Latham to the state, and
are glad that Mis- ;issippi has pro-
duced, and the /. l. q c. possess
es such a great character.

but on the other hand there is
every sign of prosperity. The

Interest throughout the state
centers in the 25th annual COM
mencement of the Industrial In
stitute and College which will be-
gin next Thursday evening. The
past year has been the most suc-
cessful from every viewpoint In
the history of the institution.
Every department shows Won
derful growth, and many GER
tificates of proficiency are to be
given from each. There viii be
thirty-four graduates receiving
B. S. and A. B. degrees, and
there will also be about forty
diplomas given to the girls OF the
normal department, showing that
under the management of Presl-
dent Henry L. Whitfield, who, 1t
is said is at least twenty-five
years in advance of the present
time, in things educational, the
college is making rapid strides.
Since Mr.. Whitfeld's incumbency
many new features have been
added. among which IS the
physical culture department, that
has been so helpful to both mind
and body. The model school,
where the students who expect
to teach have the opportunity OF
instructing young children, and
demonstrating their work is very
helpful and is an important ad-
junct.
The growth Of the normal de-
partment has been one OF the
most decided developments OF
the college. This year there are
forty graduates in this depart
ment. A four years course, with
professional training, is offered
to the girls who expect to 90 out
in the state as teachers. The
faculty of the normal depart
ment is entirely separate from
the college department, and one
of the strongest faculties ever
connected with the college.
The faculty consists of the fol-
lowing members: Miss Anne L.
FAINT, dean of the normal depart
ment and director of the model
school. Miss FAINT is recognized
as a woman of great power and
exceptional ability. She has been
an inspiration to many teach
ers of Mississippi and her work
for the college has been of the
highest order. She is a graduate
student of Columbia University
and of the University of Chica-
go.
Miss Mary X. Thomas, pro-
fessor of normal English, is a
graduate of the University of
North Carolina, and of Columbia
University. Miss Thomas is rec
0gnized as a woman of scholarly
ideals. She has during the year
addressed many organizations
and conferences discussing the
educational problems. She has
the faculty of imparting her
knowledge and her work as di-
rector of this department has
been phenomenal.

We believe Mr.. Hendrick would
stand a better show to defeat the
Republican nominee than any man
mentioned. Anyhow, somebody like
him ought to be governor of this
state. He has the ability and ex-
perience; he knows the needs of the
people and IL in sympathy with
everything that makes for the uplift
and Advancement of the common
wealth. He is warmhearted and
honest: a typical Kentuckian, true
to Kentucky About the only thing
that could be brought against this
man Is that il is hard for him to
withstand the tears of female, and
the wife, daughter or mother of any
convict in the penitentiary could go
into the governors office, with Hen
drick as governor. and drop a few
weeps on the executive table; he
would blubber some with her. reach
for his old bandana, his purse and
the pardoning pen. and his tear
STAINED signature would release the
poor fellow in about 80 seconds. He
would go out of office. as he has al
ways gone out Of office. without a
lfrazzling cent, but with the love and
esteem OF his countrymen.
Il seems to us that John Hendrick
is the logical candidate. He is a
powerful campaigner and can un-
horse the knightliest exponent of
iRepublicanism that ever bore a
lance. He would have better
chance to win than any other man.
and We presume that the Democrats
would like to carry the state In the
next election. II they do carry IL
somebody will have to be nominated
who can fight to a finish. The COM
ing gubernatoral race is not going
to be yearling stunt. We think
our Republican friends will enter Ed
O'Rear in This great derby. IL will
take a thoroughbred who doen't
carry an ounce of dead weight to
beat him.
We have always been for John
Hendrick for anything he wanted.
Il is the dream Of his life to be gov
ernor of Kentucky and We are not
without hope that he will yet achieve
that ambition.-Calloway Gazette.

HENDRICK HIS BEST BET


Hon. John X. Hendrick. of Padu-
cab and Smithland. Is being urged
TO enter the race for governor.
Regarding this contest we feel
like the old LADY, at Frankfort, who
said: Eyes. I'm goin' to the opery
tonight but | don't allow to take no
part" However, that does not deter
us from expressing our sentiments
toward the cast of the show
McCreary, Johnson, Head and
whatshisname have announced; all
great and good men, but all involved
in certain entangling alliances that
presage danger TO a Democratic
nominee. Mr.. Hendrick would not
be handicapped by things that the
other candidates will have to carry
II nominated.
The fact that McCreary's boom
Originated in the camp of the Beck.
hamites, who hate him worse thar
pizen, will hurt him no little. There
will be inquiries as to the why's and
the wherefores and what went or
and what is goin' to go on behind
the scenes.
Mr.. johnson is a very able man
He would make a fine governor. The
Beckham contingent hates johnson,
too. When the Johnsons and the
Beckhams come to this country they
took different routes, and have been
going them ever since. which is not
to the discredit of Johnson. But
that is another story.
And Beckham has told a certain
Kentucky senator, and perhaps
others that he will not support John
son II he Is nominated. Whether
this would help or hurt Johnson is
a question. Beckham's paper is not
supporting Cantrill, nominee for
congress, yet We have wireless
bulletin that Cantrill sleeps well and
eats three times a day.
Then Mr.. Head is accused OF being
the Whallen candidate. Probably
he is-and II so a factor to be reck-
oned with; John Whallen has
knocked a few home runs lately.
He seems TO have come back. -
Mayor Head is an old tobacco man
and has wide acquaintance over
the state.

edge of the subject. II unwinds a
long editorial this morning. which.
caption and all, bears a striking re-
to something We have read
elsewhere. about President Taft and
the Republicans Of Tennessee inter
fering with a Democratic primary
on Thursday, August 4.
Now, as a matter OF fact. that
wasn't a Democratic primary at all.
IL was regular election, at which
candidates nominated for positions
on the supreme bench, when Ham
Patterson was nominated for COVER
nor, were opposed by an independent
ticket supported by Republicans. In
view of the facts, the morning pa
lper's sereed become ridiculous
1t is true, We understand. that
President Taft advised the Repubh-
cans Of Tennessee not TO nominate a
judiciary ticket; but to let the issue
OF decency and a free bench be tried
out between independents and Demo-
Gratis without any complication. which
could only have split the decent vote
between the Independents aud the
Republican candidates and insured
the election Of the Democratic organ
ization ticket. II the morning paper
had any complaint against the Re
publicans for not nominating a ticket
well and good; but IL should not
abuse a Republican Of Tennessee for
Exercising the sovereign right OF a
citizen Of the United States to par
ticipate in a general election and
vote for whomsoever he pleases.
We don't accuse our morning con-
OF attempting to deceive
its readers into believing that was a
Democratic primary. II was done
through Ignorance; but. az William
Jennings Bryan would say, that Is as
bad as knavery sometimes.

FIRST AID TO THE INJURED.

Extremes Of everything carry with
them their own punishments, and a
fashion note in relation to the new
''hobble skirt, at first glance an APP
parent concession to feminine vanity
turns out to be in the nature OF first
did to the injured. The note reads:
Hosiery is so much in evidence
with the short hobble skirt now in
vogue that women of fashion are
paying much attention TO IL. The
fine plain stockings are mostly black
ones, for black is gaining new as
tendency Ladder stripes, lozenges
the Vandyke pattern and tiny spots
with open work between are patterns
that look well in wear and that add
distinction to pair OF neat shoes
and a short skirt. Girls who approve
OF startling contrasts are taking a
pleasure in the new black stockings
embroidered in chantecler shades OF
red"
The practical application OF the
suggestion becomes obvious only in
connection with a news item about 9
young lady of Shuttleworth, n. Y.
who tripped on her "hobble skirt
and broke her leg.
