common school, is from President
Henry L. Whitfield, gives it the stamp
of an authority.
President Whitfield for long time
was teacher in the common schools
of Mississippi. He served as State
Superintendent of Education for two
terms, and his administration marked
the beginning of the great uplift
which has taken place in the state in
the ,.ne of broader and more prac-
teal education for the school chill
dren who, many of them never get
beyond the schools provided free by
the state, and it has therefore been
the aim of President Whitfield to
assist in charging the scope of this
work so as to make it most effective
and to count for as much as possible.
Since his connection with the Indus
trial Institute and College at Colum-
Gus, as president, he has made a sue
cess of that and has loyalty and eff
fsctively seconded every effort for the
general educational advance in the
state.
IN the pamphlet just issued is a
complete treatise in condensed form
of domestic science course suitable
for the home and the ordinary schools
prepared by Mabel Ward, Director OF
Home Science at the l. |. e c., and
which is splendid supplement to the
Encouraging remarks of President
Whitfield along this line.

Special to The Nesos.
Houston, Texas, Dec. 2S.-Texas is
hit harder by the action of the Brit
ish government in refusing to accept
tenders for supplying the British
army and navy with canned meats by
the American packers than any other
section. The reason for this is that
fully rs per cent of the cattle used
as Gamers are produced in Texas.
Every cattleman in Texas has a
vital and serious interest in this mat
ter and common cause with the pack
ers who are lastly, but no more di.
rectly interested than the producers
of the cattle.
Texas furnishes a vast amount oil
the cattle from which the British sup
plies have heretofore been drawn
Those cattle are on the market as
Gamers and Texas produces approx
mately 100000 year.
These cattle will produce about
113,00O000 pounds of dressed can
ming meat, which is denied the right
to compete for business of the great
est purchaser of that class of meat
products in the world Naturally the
effect of the withdrawal of this mark
ct will be immediate and serious.
only the trade of the British govern
ment is lost it will amount to millions
to the Texas cattlemen annually.
But the danger of the action of thu
British government does not emf
there. 1t is natural to assume tina
the moral effect of it's action will b.
far-reaching and no less disastrou
to the American trade in came,
meats. If the people of Great Britain
follow the lead of their government
and participate in the boycott Their
is no telling what the result of the de
moralization of the packing industr
will lead to.

After January list, this establish
ment will no longer continue the

resignation to Attorney General Hud-
son. and left last night for Mobile,
where on Monday he takes his place
as one of the general attorneys of a
railroad system.
Gen. Fox has been in Mobile sew
eral days investigating the offer
which came to him entirely unsolicit-
ed and unexpectedly, and will move
his interesting family there as soon
as he can secure quarters.
Since his Connection with the Attor-
ney Generals office in Jackson, Cen
eral Fox has made many friends and
staunch admirers. The Supreme
court has on several occasions signal
ly complimented him in their opin-
ions, and he has the highest standing
with that body.
He had intended locating in Jack
son for the practice Of his profession,
when the Mobile offer was most I'M
expectedly made through General
Thomas G. Catchings, general attor-
ney for the road in Mississippi, and
who was well acquainted with Gen.
Fox and his ability, and recommend
ed him for the place, notifying him
afterward.
Gen. Fox was for some time a law
partner of Attorney General Hudson
in Vicksburg, and later formed a co
partnership with ex-circuit Judge Pal
Henry, of that place. and was so en-
gagged when called to Jackson to take
the position he has so ably filled.
Attorney General Hudson has no
yet designated the successor of Gen
eral Fox, but inasmuch as his success
sor will have only about seventeen
days to serve it will be more of ;
compliment than calling upon tn
new man for any great amount o
work. as the two able assistants, Ger
Fox and Mcdowell have kept tn
decks cleared and prevented an az
emulation of matter to be dispose
of by the successor to Attorney GEL
eral Hudson.

A Very Pertinent Question.

An Irishman on his way home at
night was in the habit Of cutting
through a cemetery in order to shorten
the distance. A group of his friends
evolved a scheme to have some fun at
his expense. Accordingly they found
a sunken grave across which his path
lay, dug it out and covered it with
boards in such a manner that he must
fall into the yawning cavity.
The Irishman came along and ev-
erything happened as per schedule.
While he was still sQuirming about
In the bottom of the hole, striving to
extricate himself, three or four Of his
friends, attired in white sheets and
other ghostly accouterments. suddenly
made their appearance. Pat was
frightened out OF his wits and almost
tainted when one OF them said:
What are you doing in my graveT'
The tone was sepulchral. 1t made
the Irishman's hair stand almost on
end. but he could not forego a witty
retort.

By the hard skull and its close connec-
ton with the movable elastic scalp by
many circumscribed bands of connec-
tive tissue. The result of blow when
the scalp Is not cut Is the bruising and
laceration of many Of the small blood

the meshes Of the surrounding con-
nective tissue. which Is delicate.
