Very sensibly State Superintendent of Education Powers has changed the date of "Arbor Day. in Mississippi from April to January 19 and has pre- pared a special programme to be ob- served in all the public schools of the state. It has been the custom hereto fore to celebrate "Arbor Day. in April long after trees and shrubs are in full leaf. and naturally most of those set out died.

President H. l.. Whitfield of the In- dustrial Institute and College at Colum- bus. who was recently elected by the board of trustees of the State Nor mal college as the first president of that institution, was in Jackson last night for short while. He has not as yet signifed his acceptance of the exalted position. but his friends here are quite confident that he will do so and candidates for his present office are growing more numerous every day.

Ordinance Should be Enforced.

The Advertiser seldom makes
suggestions to the town council but
the need for the enforcement of an
ordinance already existing, which
provides a penalty for leaving
horses standing on the streets IN
hitched, is so imperative that we
can not longer resist making the
suggestion that the seemingly dead
ordinance be revived and enforced.
When a driver leaves buggy or
wagon standing in the street with
out nitching the horse the animal is
liable to become frightened and run
away, causing other horses to be-
come frightened also, possibly en-
dangering life and damaging prop
erty.
Yesterday the writer saw two
mules that had been left by the
driver run with a wagon. The ami.
mails were but little frightened at
first but became more and more
frightened as they ran. Suppose a
run away team should strike a bug;
gy that is occupied by a lady or lit
tie child, which is liable to occur
on the streets of Edgefeld any day,
very serious injury or loss of life
may result.
Let the ordinance be enforced.

Has Sympathy of Community.

Our entire community deeply
sympathizes with Rev. L. d. Gil
lespie in his continued indisposition.
After prolonged attack of fever at
his fathers home in Pickens last
summer he came home and resumed
his work, but became quite sick
again last week. Mrs. Gillespie who
was with her mother at Early
Branch was telegraphed for and
came to him at once. We are happy
to report that he is now steadily
growing better. During his series of
misfortunes in the form of illness
of himself and members of his fami,
ly, Rev. Mr.. Gillespies' parishion-
ers have been exceedingly kind to
him. They are now at the hospitable
home of Hon. and Mrs. Thomas H
Rainsford.

BIG SUM FROM DOCK BONDS
About s7S,OOo,OOO May Be Re-
leased from Debt Limit.

According TO a report made 10 the Board
of Estimate yesterday by Controller Prem
dergast, IT IS probable that about $4,000 900
will be released from the debt limit as
being the amount OF money invested in
bonds for dock purposes that are self-sup-
porting.
This money might hc added to that avail
able for subway purposes, but both Mayor
Gaynor and Dock Commissioner Tomkins
believe that the greater part Of it should
be used for the extension of the dock sys-
TEN. The Commissioner has put forth
plans for the acquisition Of the Bush
Terminal Company's docks in South Brook
lyn and the complete plans for the con-
struction Of an elevated railroad and ware
houses along West street would require
10000 IN the long run.
in the calculation the Controller did not
figure the money invested in recreation
piers nor that invested in municipal ferries.
as the deficit on these ferries has been
made an annual charge against the budget.
If II Is held by the court that this In
debtedness must also be figured in IT would
reduce the amount Of debt to be exempted
to s62,000e00.
The Board Of Estimat, under the law

Supreme Court with the request that II
make a judicial determination as TO Just
how much money may be excluded from
