TIDE TOWARDSVARDAMAN

There have been few men who
have aroused and inspired in the
hearts OF the people the respect,
esteem, enthusiasm, love and af-
lection which the people of Mis-
sissippi have for Governor Var
daman. Because Of his immense
personal popularity, because OF
his record as 4 faithful public
servant, and especially as Gov
ernor of the State of Mississippi,
where his entire time was deyo-
ted TO a consecrated service OF
the best interests of The State,
and because of the measures
which he advocates, we expected
great strength in his following.
We found that the current of the
state was for Vardaman, and this
current has been growing strong
er and stronger as the days of
the campaign progresses until in
the last ten days or two weeks
the tide has been setting in
stronger than even his most en-
thusiastic friends had ever hoped
for, until We are convinced that
he will be swept into the position
to which he aspires by the larg-
est majority ever received by a
man in Mississippi politics.

School Fund Apportioned.


 Little Rock, Sept. The state board of education today apportioned the common school fund among the various coun- ties of the state. Two years ago the amount apportioned each child was $2.09, which was 22 cents more per capita than this year. This decrease is attribut- ed to several causes, chief of which is the appropriation of $50, ,00O made by the legislature for state aid to high schools. This $50,0OO was taken from the common school fund. Last year a considerable sum was placed to the credit of the schoo' fund, caused by fines for viola tion of the antitrust law. This year the fund did not receive anything from that source.
 Jackson county was appor- toned the sum of $14,918.86, having a school population oi {, ,978.

CYCLONE
 VISITS OZARK
Property Destroyed Near Ozark No Lives Lost III
 Storm.

Ozark, Sept. I. IT: :25 o'clock today a cyclone struck the northeast portion of this
 (White Oak) township, com mencing three miles of Ozark, width 200 yards, lasting three minutes, completely destroying crops, moving down fences, tim |ber, blowing several barns into splinters, injured a fine horse of
 Jim Hardcastle. So far no one was injured or killed. It is inn possible to get full details of the storm, because several tele- phones were put out of colnnis-
 sion along the track of the cy- clone. Dave Wells residence
 was badly blown off it's founda-
 ton, damaging all the doors, blowing off the hinges, window
 light blew out, and pearly all the furniture was blown out of the
 house. The family made their escape by entering a storm
 house near by. Loss cannot yet
 be estimated, but will reach
 somewhere in several thousand
 dollars. The track of the cy- clone was a little from the south west to northeast. The storm
 was accompanied by a heavy downpour of rain. Later Elm Springs school house was blown Ito pieces. Many citizens who Hive on the outskirts of the track |of the storm observed the sky blocked with timber, fence rails land other debris, twisting around, making the most fright. |ful scene they ever gazed upon.
