A Jackson special has the following
to say about Prof. Smith:
prof. VIM. H. Smith, who was on
Saturday elected by the State Normal
trustees to be the first president of
the new state institution, which is to
be one of the interesting and attrac-
tive features of 'Hustling Hattiesburg,
in the near future, left for his home
Vat Durant, Saturday night to spend
Aunday, as he usually does when with
b easy reach of that city. He jocular-
~'1y remarked that he would find no diff
ficuky in fitting the same hat to his
head when he gets out among his fell
low-townsmen that he has worn hith-
erto. What is to him no joke, how
4 ver, is the realization of the magni-
I ude of the task that lies before him;
task which will require and call
forth all the administrative, executive,
and in fact creative faculties with
which he is endowed and which for
the next tN elve months will keep him
busy all of his time, with no vacation
in sight. In fact, Mr.. Smith has not
been a vacation man for some time, as
he has always found work to be done
after the closing of his schools, such
as the work in summer normals and
teachers Institutes, as well as looking
after his boys corn clubs and girls
home science circles. He expects to
yxo right on with his supervision of
Il rural elementary schools and the work
Sof consolidation and the fitting out of
transportation wagons for the pupils
of the disintegrated neighborhood
schools, and to continue that along
with the building of his normal col
1ege, which work will keep him occu-
pied until this time next year, when he
will assume the duties of his new posi-
-tion actively and permanently.

ty, was elected president of the State

tiesburg, by the trustees of the institu-
tion Saturday.
The board met in the executive Of
Gces in Jackson, with every member
present. Prof. Smiths name was the
kNly one presented at the meeting
knd he received the full vote of the
board.
1t was practically settled week ago
when Prof ]. G. FAINT of the Universe
ty announced that he was not an ap-
plicant for the place and would not
consider it, even if rendered him, that
Prof. Smith would head the new insti-
tuition.
Prof. Smith will not enter upon his
new duties for nearly a year. He
was one of the original trustees of the

\ supervisor of rural schools in this
: Ftate, to which position he was ap-
tpointed June, 1910. Prior to that time

and his selection as president of the
State Normal meets the general ap-
proval of the public and teachers
alike.

position as supervisor of rural schools
till January /, 1912, when his success
sor will be named.

SYMPATHY AROUSED
BY CLEVER STORY
Mexican Works" Douglas for Tears
and Substantial Favors.

A large amount of sympathy was
wasted by the citizens of Douglas on
an indignant Mexican soldier who
came to that city come time ago
claiming that he had been wounded
in the battle of Aqua Prieta. When
he reached Douglas he appeared to
be laboring under the hallucinatiOn
that he was still under fire at the
front Of the fighting in the Mexican
border town. The story took" well,
and with all their better feelings
aroused by the pathos of the MeXi-
cans yarn, the Douglasites cOntribut-
ed literally to raise enough money
to transport the wounded hero and
his mother back to their home across
the border.
such was the Douglas story, says
the Tucson Star, be- vastly differept
was the story developed when the pair
were brought 10 immigration detention
headquarters in Tucson by Inspector
Heath Of the service who is station
ed at Douglas When the hearing
was given the two aliens last Friday
the pathos vanished and only sordid
facts remained. 1t was a clear case
of imposition upon the charity Of
the well inclined.
Antonio Sanchez was not wounded
in the battle of Aqua Prieta, but is
merely Mexican deserter. He
crossed the line and worked for a
time at the Douglas smelter; then
when he obtained his pay he pro-
ceeded to get badly shot up mentally
and not physically. He got inglorious-
" drunk and has since been chron-
jc inebriate with delerium tremens
fitfully claiming him. He and his
mother became common mendicants
in Douglas. Arrest and a trip to the
detention quarters here resulted and
deportation will be the inevitable re-
suit

sufficient seed to pay threshing ex-
