CONFEDERATE REUNION.


A feature Of the session Of the Vet
erans' convention at Little Rock was
the eloquent address Of Hon. John H.
Hinemon, Of Arkadelphia, former SUI
perintendent Of public instruction and
president Of Henderson College, who
spoke on The s1uthsand the Union. .
Mr. Hinemon's address dealt with vari-
Gus features Of the great civic struggle.
but none gave more interest than his
discussion of the constitutional rights
involved, and the inevitable conclusion
reached by bis unanswerable logic that
the South was right in principle and
that it did not seek to destroy, but to
uphold a constitution already old in
established precedent; that the violation
Of the Federal Constitution and the
rights it gave to the States came from
the North, with is seli-stsIed New Eng
land reformers
Throughout the address was given
the closest attention, and its many ref
erences to the indisputable facts Of his
tory, placing the South on the high
ground OF right in its attitude in the
war OF 1861, brought out round after
round OF applause and exclamations Of
approval. The Ku-Klux Klan, with its
protection OF society and the home, was
paid high and lasting tribute by the
speaker, who said that but for this
timely organization among the patriotic
men OF the South, the few remaining
homes in the Southland and the very
lives of the women and children of
Dixie were in imminent danger from
the unruly negroes and the still more
despicable carpet -baggers
He paid a beautiful tribute to the old
South, and declared that whatever the
new South may become, its greatest and
best accomplishments for society and
the State will be forever laid on the
sterling principles Of honor and devo-
ton to country manifested by the citi-
zenship OF the old South. Arkansas

The Graduating Class

Last Friday night the graduating
class Of the Union City High School ap-
peared before a large audience at Rey-
nolds Opera House in one Of the best
programs ever heard here at commence
ment. The subject was The Influence
Of Isms. There were seven members

course-Roy Coleman, Curtiss Harris
Willie Jones. Carl McMicbaeI
Willie NJ. Jones was the salutatorian
and his division Of the subject was
''Commercialism. The paper appears
on another page Of The Commercial,
and it is published alone because we
haven't room for all Of the six, and,
further, because it is a fair specimen Of
the class work developed by this school,
which is accorded to be one of the best
in the State or in the South.
Mr.. Jones has been one OF the hardest
workers in the school, He was a leader
among the boys, both in study and
recreation. The composition shows the
training OF the mind the speech was
delivered with force and effect. It was
second to none ever delivered in this
opera house by any pupil, and Mr..
Jones has been thoroughly congratu-
lated for his achievements and distinc-
tions in the school.
Another fine paper was that Of Glass
icism, by the valedictorian, Miss Keith
crime Dahnke. This was also triumph
Of literary talent and skill. So were
they all Modernism" by Roy Cole
man, Americanism by Curtiss Har-
ris, Continentalism by Carl Me-
Michael and 'Specialism by Murry
Woody. The musical numbers were
by Miss Marene Allen, pupil Of Mrs.

classical, and rendered with the skill
and temperament Of musician.

Agricultural College Rearranges
Manner of Giving Instruction

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Ore, Nov. 20
Those interested in the breeding and
raising of horses, pigs, dairy cattle,
sheep and beef cattle will be given
an opportunity to get the greatest
amount of scientific instruction in the
shortest possible time this winter in
the short course Of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College.
Prof. E. L. Potter and his assist
ant, George L. Samson, have rear
ranged the work, so that instead of
separate courses in breeding, feed
ing, judging, and like matters, each
including information as to all these
animals, the course on horses, for IN
stance, will contain instruction in all
these points. Thus the man who is a
horse dealer will not have to SIT
through lectures dealing with pigs
and sheep, but can get exactly what
he wants. The college farm droves
and herds will be used for demonstra-
ton and Judging during the courses

Tommy Jones had trained him well,
tying him up daily for several hours
and telling off one or two black boys
at time to tease him. So Satan
had it in for the whole black race
and the second after he landed on the
beach the bridge building gang was
stampeding over the compound fence
and swarming up the cocoanut palms.

from the veranda, "and what do you
think of the nigger chaser?"
"Pm thinking we have task before
us to train him into the house boys"
she called back.
"And to your Tahitians, too. Look
out. Noah! Run for it!'
Satan, having satisfied himself that
the tree perches were unassailable, was
charging straight for the big Tahitian.
But Noah stood his ground. though
somewhat irresolutely, and Satan, to
every ones surprise. danced and
frisked about him with laughing eyes
and wagging tail.
"Now that is what I might call a
proper dog" was Joan's comment. HE
is at least wiser than you, Mr.. Shel-
don. He didn't require any teaching
to recognize the difference between a
Tahitian and a black boy. What do
you think, Noah? Why don't he bite
YOU? He savvee you Tahitian, eh?"
Noa Noah shook his head and
grinned.
"He no savvee me Tahitian," he ex-
planned. "He savvee me wear pants

he came down and began to make

Adam and Matauare, two OF JoSn's
sailors, entered the compound FROM the
far side gate. They had been down to
the Balesuna, making an alligator
trap, and, instead of trousers, were
clad in lava-lavas that tapped grace
fully about their stalwart limbs. Satan
saw them and advertised his find by
breaking away from Sheldon's hands
and charging.

enacted against the fierce onslaught
of special interests which were used
to having their will and way. BY

tempted to purge itself OF corruption
and Is likely to succeed. No citizen

It. unwittingly changed the boundary

In the litigation several, Mexican
landowners have combined with the
United states government in filing the
suit at Brownsville. The defendant
company admits that the course Of
the Rio Grande has been diverted from
It's natural flow by cutting the channe,
through one of the large bends. This
cut was made about 40 miles up
stream from Brownsville.
AS n result several wealthy Mexican
land owners find their former Mexican
ranches part of Texas in the United
States. Although faithful to Maderc
and the Mexican flag. yet they are
subject To the laws of the United

that the original course or the Ri,

cation company favors expansion fol
