The defendant corporation promptly
filed a demurrer to the indictment,
which was sustained by Judge Henry,
the district attorney confessing that
the point raised should be sustained.
The demurrer was evidently based
on something more than technical
grounds, for the grand jury recoDvened
before the final adjournment of the
court term, and, after considering the
matter, declined to find new indict-
ment against the corporation.
The plaintiff in the chancery action,
Mr.. Rendat, was not satisfied with
this action. and has brought suit to
recover the statutory penalty Of $500
for each and every specific violation
of the antitrust law, setting forth ten
alleged violations. He says that the
corporation has established a monop-
oily on the sale of soda pop in that
community, and has resorted to divers
schemes to prevent him from engaging
in that business.

IRVING WAiDRON HAS
JUMPED HIS CONTRACT

Meridian, Miss, July Irving
Waldron, former manager of the Me-
ridian team, who has been supplanted
by Bill Douglas, jumped his contract
Wednesday afternoon and left for the
east. He has been suspended by the
local association, who made every eff
fort to retain his services as a player
Waldron was made every PROPOSE
ton by the local management to stay
with the team and a deal was on with
Hattiesburg whereby a player and
money consideration would be made if
deal could be consummated
The deal failed, however, when Wal
dron decamped and he is now on the
blacklist, having signed a straight
playing contract at the beginning of
the season.
The fans regret to see Waldron go.
as he is considered the best fielder in
the league and the local association
will have a hard time filling his place

HIGH SCHOOLS
Movement Increasing In The State
Twenty-four Counties Want
institutions.

Jackson, Miss, July THE agri-
cultural high school movement is
steadily increasing in Mississippi, ac-
cording to Prof. J. N. Powers, state
superintendent of education. Twenty
four counties, according to Prof. Pow
ers, have established agricultural high
schools, or will have institutions of
this character in readiness for opening
at the beginning of the next scholastic
term.
Weak schools are being consolidat-
ed in order to make more efficient
ones, and the plan of carrying chill
dren to school in wagons is being
adopted in many communities. Ac-
cording to Prof. Powers, twenty-six
wagon routes for pupils are now in
operation
The plan of the department of edu-
cation is to carry the high school to
the children, rather than the children
to the high school, and Prof. Powers
is much gratif1ed with the develop
ment of the system in the rural dis
tricts of the state The rural schools
OF Mississippi now have terms aver
aging more than six months in length
and the department expects material
increase in the school term to be
shown within the next year.

been intimately associated with the
school work of the county almost nine
teen years-twelve of which l have
served as county superintendent.
These have been years of active ser
vice, but | am glad to know that they
have been years of marvellous growth
IN our school work. 1t has been my
pleasure within these nineteen years
TO see the city schools of Hattiesburg
grow from the old frame building
which stood on the banks of the little
-seventy-fve to one hundred pupils
in attendance, with three or four con-
secrated teachers devoting their lives
almost without financial compensation,
until today we see our beautiful city
amply provided with magnificent brick
buildings in every ward, costing with
their equipments not less than about
one hundred thousand dollars when
the new Main Street building is COM
plete, with an attendance of almost
seventeen hundred white children I'M
der the supervision of one of the best
city superintendent in the state, with
forty thoroughly qualified teachers in
charge of the various departments. It
has been my pleasure to see the rural
school within this time advance from
the small building with one teacher
struggling with the disadvantages of a
short school term of about three or
four months in the year and the small
salary ranging from sixteen to twenty
dollars per month until today many of
our schools have magnificent buildings
equipped with modern furnitur-a
term averaging about seven months
in the year and salaries ranging from
forty to seventy-five dollars per month
and several of the schools have from
two to four teachers each, carrying a
course of study from the primary
grade through the high school depart
ment. All these evidences of growth
in our work call from me expressions
of profound gratitude to Him who is
the Author of every good and perfect
gift and they intensity my devotion. to
the people who have given me such
loyal support through these years.
wish to bear testimony to the fact
that | do not attribute this marvellous
growth to anything which I have done
no honor do | take to myself, but
desire to place it where it belongs.
There are many contributing causes,
but greatest among them all | con-
slider to be the faithful services rem
dered by our devoted teachers, the
hearty cooperation of the people and
the sympathetic and liberal aid rem.
dered by the different Boards of Super.
visors who have served through these
many years. In conclusion ! wish to
say that 1t is my desire and purpose
to give to every boy and girl within
the bounds of our county the best adj
vantages which lie within my power
to give TO fit each for the duties and
responsibilities of life. shall there
ore appreciate very heartily the en-
thusiastic support of every man in the
county in the approaching election
and earnestly solicit your sympathy
and cO-ODeratiOn in carrvino o,,t tho
great work in which we are engaged.
Faithfully yours,
