Other colleges had men in the indi-
vidual events. but as a rule put their
strength in a relay team. Excepting
the Johns Hopkins University. which
ranks third in best performances. the
track team from the minor colleges
accomplished little in the opening
races. Richmond College had a good
collection OF relay men, who gave a
good account of themselves in all their
races. The work Of other teams was
below par.
The officials in charge of the differ
ent meets. generally speaking, handled
the programmes in a very efficient
manner. In the majority of the indoor
athletic carnivals, the events were run

MY Boy.

My boy, you cease to come at night
To gladly climb upon my knee;
Your childhood days have taken flight
And soon you will be leaving me;
/ may not greet you with kiss
Lest your manhood should offend.
But, oh, my boy, remember this:
That remain your staunchesr friend.
Your work is waiting for your hand
The world will call to you ere long
To serve or to assure command,
TO show if you are weak or strong:
Upon the wrung your foot is set;
God give you courage to ascend.
But well or i'll do not forget
That remain your steadfsst friend.
My boy your playing soon shall be
IA pleasant memory no more,
But in your need come back to me,
Nor pause to knock upon my door.
The world will strive to break your will.
Your trust in sorrow oft will end,
But come what may, remember still
That / remain your faithful friend,

Should Uphold The Law.

IF lawyers generally, in the
practice of the law, would resort
to less subterfuge and strategy
to escape the law, and, instead,
as all good citizens should, as
sist the courts and juries in deal
ing out evenhanded justice to all
offenders or alleged offenders
against the law, there would be
less lawlessness by so per cent
IN this state and nation than
there IS now. The Law is an
honorable profession; and law
yers as a class are above
the average in their person
al habits and private living;
but their ethics are> strained
and the way they practice their
profession makes them response
BILE for so per cent of the crime
committed in this country. Grim
inals, big and little, individuals
and corporations, would fear the
law more and obey it better were
it not for the fact that they know
money will buy the very best
legal talent to help them cheat
and defy the law. "a lawyer
has right to take any case that
comes to him." is the accepted
creed among the profession. and
we subscribe to that; but the
lawyer has no right to take any
case to help a criminal escape
just punishment for his crime
under the law. The honorable
profession of Law, and It's most
worthy members know it, is not
held in the high esteem ltTonce
was, and that is due to the qnes-
tionable practices Of some prac,
titioners. Is it not. time the
higher and better element of the
profession were making some
effort to stop this blight upon
their high calling?-Hattiesbur

An Unexcelled Offer For The
South.

Washington, DC, Feb.-"The

yearly to livestock raisers who
Will locate in that section and
supply the demand FOR meats.
The South consumes more meat
per capita than any other. section
of the county. Fifty Southern
cities are offering over $22, ,OOO,-
900 yearly to dalrymen who will
supply their demand for dairy
products"
These startling statements are
made in an unusually attractive
booklet devoted to stock raising
IN the Southeast which has just
been issued by the Southern Rail
way System for distribution
among stockmen and farmers of
the West and Northwest In an
effort to induce them to move
into this region and take up the
raising of cattle, horses, mules,
sheep and hogs. thereby enrich
ing themselves and keeping in
the South the vast sums now be-
ing paid other sections for meat
and dairy products. Attention
is also given to the great oppor-
tunities for profitin raising poul-
try.
So important to the interests
of the people of the South does
the Southern Railway feel the
live stock and dairy industry,
that in addition to advertising to
the outside world the great field
open for profitable development
in this direction. it is now oper-
ating a DAIRY Instruction Car"
over it's lines in the States served
by it for the purpose of giving
all possible information to the
people at home about raising live
stock and the production of milk,
cream and butter.
The booklet is filed with splen-
did illustrations of stock, forage
crops, ideal dairles and pasture
lands, and liye reading matter
telling of the exceptional advan-
tages awaiting the practical dali
ryman and stockman in the
Southeast. The wide circulation
which this handsome booklet
will be given by the Southern
Railway and affiliated lines
should prove an effective boost
for the South.
