WHAT THE COUNTY TEACHERS
ARE DOING.

Editor The News
The meetings of the Forrest County
Teachers Association are still grow
ing in interest. One of the best and
most largely attended meetings held
this year was held Saturday, January
20. Many farmers, their wives and
children, were present. Several visi-
tors from outside the county were also
present Mr.. H. L. Whitfield of the
Il. |. & C. and Miss Susie V. Powell,
Mississippis enthusiastic organizer
Of School Improvement Clubs, both
made deep and instructive addresses
on subjects relating to vitalizing and
bringing into closer touch with each
other the rural school and country
home. The crowded courtroom OF
the county court house frequently
echoed with enthusiastic and appre-
ciative cheers for what the speakers
had to say. Mr.. Thompson, the coun
ty agricultural commissioner, who
presided at the morning session, dis
missed the meeting at 1915 for
meeting of the local Truck Growers
Association, held at the rooms of the
Commercial Club.

CINDERELLA DRAWS
LARGE CROWD TO LOMo

The Lomo theatre played to stand
ing room only" crowds all during the
showing of the beautiful Cinderella"
picture yesterday afternoon and eve
ming. And it is doubted if ever pa
irons OF a moving picture show were
given a greater treat than they were
by this delightful photoplayed fairy
tale. The story of Cinderella and
Prince Charming is one that has de-
lighted, in the reading, thousands upon
thousands of children and charmed
their elders as we'll, but the portrayal
in moving picture films was far more
impressive and beautiful than the
story in words. Only the art that
has been developed the last few years
in the making of moving picture films
could show the magic transformations
of Cinderella from rags to finery ant
back again. From beginning to enc
the story was portrayed in perfec
accord with the imagination of thu
author of the tale; Prince Charm
ing" was just as charming; Cinderel
la, beautiful and delightful; the mic
and pumpkin; the fairies, the ball AM
lost slipper; and in all their Jealous,
and spitefulness the big-feet cand
dates for matrimony, the hateful fos
ter-sisters.
The picture, for ten cents admissio
was better than a novel or a hig
priced show, and the management c
the popular Lomo theatre is to b
commended for bringing such hig
class pictures to their play hous'

80 million that of imports from China.
Exports to China show distinct signs
of recovery from the depression
which first became pronounced IN
1906 and continued without abate-
ment down to the end of 1910. In
1905 our exports to China rose to the
unprecedented total of SO million dol
lars; the next year showed a shrink
age of nearly so per cent, the total
for 1906 being but 80 million; and
each succeeding year showed small
err total until 1910, when the figures
stood at less than 16 million dollars,
or 100000 less than in 1901, de-
eade ago. The first II months of

port to China of FL million dollars

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN Ex-
PENSES.

The statement filed Tuesday by the
Clapp investigating committee with
the clerk of the House of Representa-
tives shows that over $4,000, 900 have
been spent by the various candidates
end nominees for the presidency on
the Republican, Democratic and Bull
Moose ticket. This does not neces-
sarily imply any improper use of
money, for that amount could easily
be used in a publicity campaign of
speakers, clerks and advertising by
circulars. newspapers and magazines.
But it does show that withoct a pOpu-
kr organization and contributions to
meet the enormous expenses Of q
presidential campaign the moneyed
interest must furnish the funds and
therefore dictate the nominees of all
Darties, as they have in the past.
Hence, to have government to repre-
sent our people the people NEST fur
lish the funds to elect their own can
didates, then only will they get re-
lief from the oppression of the trusts
and predatory corporations.

cause agriculturally and otherwise we
have as valuable inducements as can
be found anywhere under Gods blue
sky. This system is flexible and can
be adjusted from time to time by the
General Assembly as the occasion
may require. l believe that If the
people will study it carefully, examine
it's effects locally, look at its good
features and vast improvement over
the present taxation laws, it will com
mend itself most favorably to their
judgment.
OF course, speciOus arguments and
pleas by those who may have to pay
a little more taxes to support the
State will be made, but they should
be investigated from a practical, sen
sible standpoint and when this is
done you will doubtless find the ute
rior motive behind the proponents of
such arguments.
The whole question should be ap-
preached from a broad-minded. patri-
otto n of public, duty.
Will this prove better than what
we have at present? Has it more Of
good to the whole people to commend
It, or does it do injury to their best
interest? Will 1t prove beneficial to
Louisiana and her best interest or will
the reverse prove true? These are
the questions for us to seriously and
soberly consider. While admitting
