the personnel of the student body
here will undergo rapid changes in
the next few years, if your readers
catch the idea underlying our eff
fort. The town will witness fewer
dudes paradlng the streets and see
more overalls if they visit CHI. A.
We are going to have a school that
will attract the attention of think
ing people The state is ripe for
an effort of this kind. We will
have in the near future a model
dairy farm, hog farm, and other
allied industries that will be an at
traction to this part of the state.
We want the cooperation of our
people. Whatever may have been
the ideas prevailing about the
school in the past, I call upon our
best people to give me their sup
port in making here an institution
that will be a tremendous factor in
our uplift. It means more to the
public now than it means to some
Of us. We can by cooperation
here have something worth while
soon. It must he remembered that
this school does not exist for maxi
ing money. All that we care for
lis to break even, and pay neces-
sary expenses. Now then let US
all become lifters and not leaners.
1 am here to serve the mission ]
find for the school. The public
can be OF great help. The benefits
derived will nearly all he theirs.
If your readers can catch our ideas
for development none will give
back a stinted service. My hope
is that they will render all the ser
vice possible.
In conclusion We invite the pub
lie without any reserve to our an
nual picnic held on the campus

will deliver an address.

Raising Horses.

The number of good looking
colts seen following their mothers
this spring is unusual and az evi-
dence that there is a growing dis
position among our people to raise
their driving horses and work stock
at home. Now that we are selling
corn, shipping hogs, and have quit
buying meat and meal from the
west, the breeding of horse stock
lis a natural sequence. OF course
it will take longer to begin to get
the benefit of this change OF policy
in regard to raising horses than It
does with the provender and the
hogs, but the promise of the fu-
ture is bright, and brood mares are
at premium. Fayette Chronicle.

It IS this miserable cropping
method that keeps the Southern
lands poor and the tenants poor
and the landowners poor. A man
may have a dozen tenants, each with
a mule, scratching the soil and get
ting small crops of cotton, while
the land grows poorer and the ten-
ants make poor living, while if
the dozen mules were in the hands
of the owner, and the whole farm
was run in a systematic way, and
farmed instead Of merely being
planted, the owner might make a
fortune while the land grew richer.

sale. If the owners appreciated
how much a little attention to
these lands would enhance their
value, they would clean up the
fence corners, cut the bushes along
the ditcnes, fill the washes and
give such property presentable
appearance. Putting on coat of
paint on an old house sometimes
doubles the selling price. I'm.
proving dilapidated farm will do
the same. But, best Of all, inn
growing an old farm increases the
owners interest in it, and he is
soon satisfied that if it IS worth
anything to someone else, it is
worth more to him.

Editor Reveille:
The Reveille, usually fair and
courteous, seems to have allowed
itself to lose its poise and become
Influenced by the shadow of vi
Imperative politics now abroad in
Mississippi. Political ISLANDERS and
calumnies, created for special pur-
poses and stressing times, have
never, to the writer's recollection,
found space in the Reveille until
the last issue. Then it gives vent
to the spirit OF the "Opposition"
quotes the most VIGOROUSLY mis-
leading paper in the state, and
condemns Elk Governor Vardaman
as man unworthy to represent
Mississippi in the Senate.
This writer does not care to re-
fer to the thousands of Mississip-
plans who disagree with the Kew
ellie, nor to enter into any discus
sion upon Vardaman's merits, or
dement's. He believes the fair and
honest men of Mississippi will set
the seal of their approval upon
Vardaman and the principles he
stands for when the August days
roll around; and by that verdict,
in the first primary, condemn the
methods adopted in the interests
of the eAny-to-Beat Vardaman"
crowd.
do not mean to say the Rev
ellie would be unfair or unjust with
its eyes open. 1t simply got caught
in its mapping hour.

Crimson Glover.

The writer has small patch
Of crimson clover which is now in
full bloom. In January dressing
of barnyard manure was spread
over the ground, which made the
clover grow excellently. In about
two weeks, after the clover begins
to die, it viii be turned under and
the land planted in corn. 1t is
estimated that twice as much corn
will be raised this year on this
patch as last, and, since the clover
has been allowed to seed, another
crop of the latter will appear next
spring.

Future OF c.-H. A.

Editor ReveilIe:
Ny DEAR SIR:-At your request
am writing relative to the visit
made recently to a school in Geor-
gia, and relative to some plans we
entertain for the development Of
Chamberlain- Hunt.
For some months / have been
attracted by the work done by the
Berry school of Rome, Georgia,
for the mountain boys of the states
contiguous thereto. | did not
know before my visit there that l
could find anywhere in actual op-
Grafton the kind of school / am
seeking to develop here. This is
the greatest school in many re-
spects in the South, approved by
the leading statesmen and thinkers
of to-day. Some conditions there
are not the same as ours, and nee
essary changes will have to be
made in carrying out the main
idea.
Every boy who gets in must hail
from the country, must work IA
bours Der week and must be a boy
of limited means. They charge a
straight rate of 800 per year in
cash to all. The boys cook, bake,
farm, do the laundry work, put up
their buildings, and in fact every
thing connected with the life of the
school save teach. / never saw a
better dairy farm and one better
managed. / have never seen at an
Agricultural school better farming
done. There they actually farm
rather than hear lectures on farm
ing and see it done by others.
They kill their own beet, and pork.
They erect every one of their build
ings, and ! have never seen more
substantial ones. The school ex-
lists primarily for the help of that
large class of boys that have little
or no chance for an education.
They have more applications than
they can care for. They have to
select their patronage. I have new
er seen more serious looking lot
Of sturdy youngsters in my life.
They gave the appearance of being
there for business.
Now about our plans: We have
begun here what we think will be
for Miss. what that school is for
that section. This state is full OF
those who have little opportunity.
They want the change. Personal

The population of Mississippi
towns in the southwestern part Of
the state, announced by the FEEDER

Port Gibson 2252 as compared with
2TI3 for 1900, an increase of 6.5S
per cent in ten years.
1t may surprise some of our peo-
pie to know that Port Gibson is
the largest town on the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley Railroad below
Vicksburg to the Louisiana line,
and if we place her among the riv-

Vicksburg and Natchez. For that
