LOCAL GRAVEL CO. -
BUSY With ORDERS

The Leaf River Gravel Co. is one of
the few plants in the South that is
unaffected by the heavy rains that
have visited almost every portion of
the country within the last few
weeks. The plant is operating right
along and has lost no time. A recent
analysis, made by the State Chemist,
of the sand produced by this concern,
shows it to be of remarkable purity.
The plant has more orders than Il
can fill and others are coming in
daily. 1t is supplying the sand for
the big Wassau-Southern mill at Lau-
rel and the new Newman mill at Sum-
rail-, besides constantly shipping a
large number of cars to Gulfport and
other southern points.

OF it. but came on up town to deliver
some washing. The pond is situated
about 100 feet from the home and the
supposition is that the child was play
ing about the water and accidentally
fell in. The coroner was called, and
an autopsy held over the body by ply
sicians, who first thought that the
child might have been the victim of
foul play. The lungs were found to
contain a sufficient amount of water
to cause death.
A peculiar thing connected
with the death of the child was the
remarkable short time in which the
body came to the surface. 1t could
not have been more than two hours at
the most and usually it is a day or
more before a body appears.

CONFERENCE FOR EDUCATION IN

PRESIDENT OGDEN DELIVERS
ADDRESS BEFORE CONFERENCE
Address OF Welcome Delivered BY
Gov. Hooper-Object of Conference
Meeting to Last Three Days, OF
Great Benefit to Southland.

Nashville, Tenn, April 4.-Goyernor
B. w. Hooper, who delivered the ad-
dress of welcome in behalf of Ten
nessee, to the Conference for Educa-
tion in the South at the opning ses-
sion here last night, gave cordial
greeting to the conference and COM
mended it to the hospitality of the
Volunteer State, and the city of Nash
vile. 81 understand" he said, after
Introductory remarks, that the OBJ
ject of this conference is to prevent
waste, not primarily the waste of wa
ter, land, timber and coal, but the
waste of brain and muscle, time and
life of southern boys and girls. These
are the most precious assets among
all the resources of the richest and
best country on earth. Nor is it dis
loyal or unpatriotic for me to say
that this, of all our resources, has
been most neglected.
"The unused power of the streams
that leap down our mountains and
hills to the sea is not hopelessly lost,
for the sun and wind will bring the
water back to where it yet may turn
the wheels of industry. Not so with
the wasted energies of men. The boy
who is compelled to pass through life
with undeveloped brain, unframed
hand and uncultured soul is but the
shrunken image of what he might
have been. His personal deprivation
is deplorable and the loss to society
is great"
In conclusion Governor Hooper
spoke in the highest terms of the aims
of the conference and bade it God
speed in its work

Nahsville, Tenn, April 4.-Robert C.
Ogden of New York, president of the
Conference for Education in the south,
in opening his annual address before
the conference, extended heartfelt
greetings to Vanderbilt University and
the Peabody College for Teachers, and
reviewing briefly the work accom-
plished by the latter institution in the
cause of education in the South, de-
clared that more than any other sim
gle institution of the South, Peabody
College has sent forth it's graduates
in the teaching profession. They have
been a blessing of untold value to the
land"
President Ogden then discussed the
history and work of the Conference
for Education in the sobth, saying
I'VE have been able to enlist many in
dividuals in numerous directions
some in every state-and by the judi
cious expenditure of an income as
small as to be comparatively negligi-
Bile, to create numerous other sources
of revenue that could be adapted to
the several sorts of service. And SO
public opinion has been created, edu-
Gators have been inspired, legislation
has been more intelligent, taxation
has been increased, careful study has
been stimulated, plans of develop
ment have been put into operation,
and the whole spirit of the movement
has been kept in constant progress
sive and intelligent activity" Its re-
suit, he said, is to be found in the
coordination and close association of
several distinct boards, each with diff
ferent and special responsibilities, but
all, with one exception concern ex-
clusively with the educational welfare
of the southern people.
In discussing the work of associated
educational enterprises in the South,
resident Ogden referred briefly to
what had been done by the late DR..
Seaman A. Knapp of the Department
of Agriculture, in the interest of the
farmers of the South. said few men
