Interesting Facts Regarding the Lab
Oratory OF the Chamberlain Med

A person purchasing bottle OF
Chamberlains Cough Remedy has
no conception of the magnitude Of
the laboratory where this medicine
is manufactured. The machinery and
apparatus used in its preparation
was designed especially for the pur-
pose and cost several thousand dol
lars. Europe, South America and
the United States supply the vari-
ous ingredients of this remedy, and
only the highest obtainable quality
is used. No pains or expense has
been spared in making It as nearly
perfect as possible.
A force Of helpers representing
homes enough to populate an aver

ALaw Unto themselves.

During the meeting of the mem-
bers Of the Associated Press at
Memphis, when everything was
wide-open, one editor, who had
prohibition views, expressed sur
prise that liquors should be sold
so openly over the bars, just as in
the days of the open saloon, in
view of the fact that Tennessee
had passed a State wide prohibit
ton law, which applies to cities as
we'll as to villages-not the least
regard paid the law, all kiads OF
drinks being sold without question
or hesitation.
He was told that be need not 60

not Indict and at least show a Will
lingness to uphold the dignity and
majesty of the law; why the Cir
cult Judge, who holds several
courts in Vicksburg during the
year, did not specially charge the
grand jury to look into these re-
ported infractions of the law, and
bring in true bills If conditions
were found to be as reported7
The reply was that over in Vicks-
burg public sentiment is against
the prohibition law, that many of
the public officers are against it,
that grand juries are against it, but
should they indict the men who
were daily violating the prohlbi-
tion statute by running wide.open
saloons, that it would be impossi-
bic to secure convictions, as the
men composing the petit juries are
opposed to the law, and would
never bring IN verdicts of guilty, it
would make no difference what
instructions the Judge should give.
Therefore, it is presumed, that
in view Of the facts given above,
winch severely reflect upon the
law-abiding citizens of Warren
county, officers who are perfectly
willing to have open saloons, make
no attempt to close them, and by
inaction allow one saloon after an
other to open up and do business
in violation of the sacred laws of
the State.
What must be thought of such
oficers-mayor, chief OF police,
attorney, district attorney
and Circuit Iudge-who make no
effort to uphold the law and drive
the saloons from Vicksburg7
It may be urged that it is none
Of outsiders business if Vicksburg
does violate the prohibition law by
running wide-open saloons. But
it does concern outsiders, for if
yicksburg is permitted toviolate the
law with impuuity, which applies
with equal force to every coun-
y in the State, other cities and
sowns may attempt to do likewise,
Is it is understood several are al

Vicksburg; because other places

sale of liquors, while those over at
Vicksburg seem to be perfectly
willing that the State prohibition

True, Vicksburg has always set
Up a pnncipahty for itself, doing
pretty much as it pleases, and
obeying the statute law as suits its
convenience. For instance, we
rave in this State a law against
baseball; but VicksDurg
has never paid the slightest atten-
ion to it, not only permitting but
patronizing the game on the Sab
bath, officers going along and not
only winking at but encouraging
the violation of the statute by their
presence at Sunday games.

Prize-diving and PrIze-Taking in
Education.

Prize-Giving and PrIze-Taking il
Education.
Education mad and mad educa
ton have run riot in our public
schools; fashionable schools By
the offering of a system of honors
1t develops the mind at the toll o
the body. We behold those thai
are mentally forward as physically
downward. Those that are robust
are not bright, and those that are
intellectual are not corporally
sound. The boys and girls thai
are the pride of their teachers and
the boast of parents in winning the
applause of the public never a.
mount to anything on the world S
stage, whereas on the other hand
those who do not carry off the in
tellectual prizes are the men and
women of to-morrow's work.
Let us examine the causes Of
this prize-giving aud prize-taking.
Ist. Abnormal BRAN tension is
due to the educational progress
and the increased competition a.
mong students by their teachers.
More labor is imposed upon the
brain which does not increase in
power. The medieval idea con-
sidered the body a clog to the soul,
and Porphyry lamented that he
had body. We may say there
is too much mental education for
prizes and none for manual educa-
ton or athletic education.
and. The vanity of parents by
pointing to the superior son or ac-
complished daughter that has an
extensive curricula by winning in
the examinations and at the com
mencements. Their injudiclous
objects are accomplished by the
destructive process of brain-forc.
ing. The teacher easily observes
the parents desire and forthwith
proceeds to make particular pu-
pill MoNsTRATUs DIGITo by giving
her or him more or particular stud
les to be mentally conspicuous,
and thereby show the ideal Of the
pedagogue.
3rd. The vanity of teachers who
wish their boy or girl to shine be-
fore her pupils and the people.
This is done by straining the brain
cells Of the pupil for a brilliant
show and render her school popu-
lar and herself talked about IN the
turning out of phenomenons. These
misht honor boys and girls that the
public are wont to see and praise
achieve such questionable prizes
by examining, coaching and rating
for examinations.
4th. Poverty. The poverty Of
student in prize-taking is the only
means Of giving him or her an up
lift in the schyol world.
What are the conditions we
should pursue in our schools tor
our school children? Examinations
that require cramming, coaching
and rating should be done away
with. It's a system Of texture tc
boys and girls to tax their minds
and bodies beyond their capacities.
Precocious and phenomena
children should be repressed, anc
raping of the brain should be pre-
vented by parent and teacher.
The complete abolishment d
school prizes.
The object with many is to pre-
fer these prizes than the digestes

! honors cultivate the love Of praise
| in the boy or girl and influences
persons to regard those triumphl
the paramount idea Of education
The Port Gibson reveille., 1911-06-01

So away with the prize system.
We need intensive education as
opposed to extensive education.
The curricula of our schools will
then cease to be curtailed, and
the humanities giving full atten-
tion.
The good and evil of body-de-
velopment aud mind development
are worthy of study by educators.
We should strive to initiate the
ancient Greeks and ancient Rom
ans by having our boys and girls,
-the seed corn OF state,-have
each ga sound in sound body"

Our Community and Our Schools.
Now that we no longer hear the
tap of the rising bell. or the drum
calling to assemble; that we no
longer see the long line of caps and
gowns parading our streets or the
groups of Young men gathered up.
on the corners, we are forcihly re-
minded of the important place
that the c.. H. A. and P. 6. F. c..
fll In the life of our little city.
While to some it is doubtless a
time of rest from work and worry,
to all it is a time for serious thought
and future planning. The writer
heard recently an expression like
this: 80. it's only school town, !"
and with an air that it was scarcely
worth its place upon the map, be-
cause of that tact. Some titles
which in this day are synonyms of
greatest honor. we are told. had
their origin in derision and so may
it be that the distinctive feature of
a community may, despite the opin-
ions of the graspipg, greedy ones,
whose conception of life and of its
ends are only the accumulation Of
dollars, be really its highest ground
Of praise.
As brains and learning have al
ways been the greatest asset of a I
nation, SO the school room, the
college and the university will al
ways express a country's highest
Of its real wealth.
Without stopping to enumerate,
the writer would venture the state
ment that the best known cities of
the nations. ancient and modern
are those where institutions of learn
ing have given shape to their char
acter. If this be, then is it not the
part of wisdom that we not only
resent the insinuation, SO far as our
own community is concerned, and
per contra" give added emphasis
that ours Is a city of schools
place where men and women are
made, prepared for life's greatest
responsibilities and polished for its
highest circles ?
With these thoughts before as
there is no question as to the duty
Of every citizen in our community
towards these institutions of learn
ing. They rightly claim not only
their support but their freest sacri-
fee to exalt them in the life of our
people. While those to whom have
fallen the responsibilities of organ
izing and manning these halls of
learning are busy with their prep
arations for the incoming session,
every citizen of Port Gibson and
community should be awake to the
of her schools. While the
equipments here may seem small
as compared with those institutions
which have large endowments and
larger plants, 1t stands as a fact
that the smaller school is for the,
less advanced better than the larg-
er and over-crowded. One can
only drink a certain amount of
water, whether it be at a great
stream or from the quiet spring
beneath the spreading beech; and
in the quietude of the smaller is
