+ The fallacy of this inspired
Walter Malone to write a reply
in which he represented 'Oppor-

.'They do me wrong who say l come

For every day l stand outside your

And bid YOU wake, and rise to fight

Annual Report Of Mutual Culture
Club 1912-19l3

The Mutual Culture Club has
spent a very profitable year, the
year of 1912-1913, in the study of
the Bay View Reading Course. a
special course of study on the
Latin American countries, South
America and Mexico. The study
of these countries at this time
was peculiarly appropriate and
timely, first because all eyes are
upon the building of the Panama
Canal which is the most stipend
GUS work ever attempted by any
nation. and consequently is a sub
ject Of the greatest national in
terest, and secondly, (but of no
less Importance, because of the
great responsibility our churches
are just beginning to realize they
owe these countries. In the
study of the Bay View course we
have had ample opportunities to
observe the every day life of the
people. the sights, scenes and va
rious incidents which mark years
of travel; we have been brought
into sympathetic touch with
the conditions of labor, the
church and the great agricultu-
raj and mining resources of the
land, all of which has been in
structive, useful and helpfully
beautiful.
In connection with this special
course of study the club has
accomplished some work under
the department Of health and
sanitation. During the Xmas
holidays 1000 Red Cross Xmas
Seals were disposed of by our
members, this was done under
the supervision of Mrs. F. John
son, VINO is chairman of the COM
mittee on civics. Two cash prizes
were offered to the children in
| the public school for the best
written essays on the Red Cross
Xmas Seal. The first prize, 81
was won by Julia Long. The
second prize, SOC, was won by
Clayton Kitchener. The CLUB
has also accomplished some civic
work along educational lines. a
beautiful picture, ''Stratford on
! Avon" Shakespeare's home,
Twas donated to the Tupelo Public
School by the club.
! On February 2lst the annual
civic meeting was observed, Mrs.

the doors of her home for this oc-
casion and a most pleasant and
instructive afternoon was spent

The interest which the mem
bers have manifested in the work
for the past year has been most
gratifying.

w. M. DABBS KILLED
AT ITTA BENA
Son of ]. H. Dabbs Of Nettleton and
Native Of Lee County

Itta Bena. Miss, June e. w.
M. Dabbs, local agent for the
Southern Railway, was shot and
killed at TAO O. clock tonight, by
Wade Nelson. who, until this
morning was check clerk at the
depot. Nelson used 49, caliber
Smith & Wesson special, and flr-
ed four shots. three of which
entered his victims body and
any one of which would have
been fatal. The shooting oc-
Cured halfway between the de-
Dot and the Davis Furniture
Company, and in the presence
of Miss Helen Wheeler. with
whom young Nelson was walking
and who pleaded with her escort
not to shoot. City Marshal
Mitchell was an eyewitness, but
could not reach the young man
until the fatal shots were fired.
He unarmed the slayer and a
few minutes later rushed him to
Greenwood in an automobile.
The killing is said to have been
the result of Nelson'shaving been
discharged by Dabbs this morn
ing.
The dead man was 81 years old
and had been agent here nearly
three years. He was married
and leaves widow and little
girl 7 years old. Nelson is q
years old and single. He had
been employed in the local depot
for about a year.
Immediately after the shooting
Nelson went into HeardS drug
store, where he stayed until tax
en- to Greenwood, 20 minutes lat
er in a car. He declined to make
a statement, saying he preferred
to wait until he was arralgned
for trial.
Dabbs fell on the pavement in
front of the Davis Furniture
Company, about 80 feet from
where he was first fired upon.
He was carried to DR.. Shannon's
office, over the furniture store,
hut was dead before he was
placed on the operating table.
One ball entered his brain near
the left eye, one just below the
left nipple, piercing the heart,
and a third lodged in the groin.
The remains were removed to
the Dabbs home at 8 O'Clock.
Arrangements for the funeral
will not be made until tomorrow.
While there were several per-
sons near enough to have wit
messed the preliminarles which
led up to the shooting, the semi
darkness precludes a definite
statement as to just how it came
about. The two men are said to
have had some words in the
freight Office this morning, and
it is supposed the alteration On
the street was an aftermath OF
this.
The best information obtain
abe is to the effect that Nelson
and Miss Wheeler had just left
the postoffice. block away,
walking up toward the depot,
and that they met Dabbs about
the middle of the street.
One statement is that Dabbs
said to Nelson, Il am going to
give you thrashing," and as
saulted him with his fists, throw
ing him on the ground and wal
lowing him in the dirt. 1t is
supposed that the shooting be-
gan as soon as Nelson could get
on his feet.
There is some question as to
whether Dabbs was armed, but,
as he was in his shirt sleeves,
the impression is that he was
not. Dabbs weighed about lao
pounds and Nelson about 115.

CLOSING EXERCISES
AT THE UNIVERSITY
Interesting Address by President W. W
Finley, before Graduating Class

Oxford, Miss, June 3.-Mr.
w. ". Finley, President of the
Southern Railway Company, de-
livered the Baccalaureate Address
at the Commencement Exercises
at the University Of Mississippi
to-day. taking as his subject
Progress with Conservation. =
He quoted from President Will
sons Inaugural Address as fol-
lows:
Society must see to it that it
does not itself crush. or weaken,
or damage it's own constituent
parts. The first duty of law is
to keep sound the society which
it serves.
Continuing, President Finley
said:
There can, | think, be no
question as to the soundness OF
the views expressed by the Pres
ident in these two sentences.
They may be said to summarize
the philosophy of government,
for the objects of all government
should be the we'll being of the
State as a whole and the hap
piness and prosperity of the in
dividuals who compose the body
polite. The attainment of these
objects may best be brought
about by what may be termed
conservative progressiveDess.
Intrinsically, conservation and
progress are not antagonistic. On
the contrary, wise conservation is
essential to true progress, for 1t
is as important that we shah
hold fast to all that is good and
that we shall accept changes that
give promise of remedy ing what
may be bad.
In fact, Ibelieve / we may we'll
question whether there is not
more danger that we may crush,
or weaken, or damage the con-
tituent parts of society by hasty
and i'll considered changes in the
name of progress than by cling
ing to time-tried policies until
we are thoroughly convinced
that changes proposed will work
real and lasting improvements.
Lord Bacon, whose essays have
been termed "a very orchard of
the apples of wisdom, expressed
this idea in the following langu-
age:
1t is good also not to try ex-
periments in states, except the
necessity be urgent, or the utill-
ty evident; and we'll to beware
that it be the reformation that
draweth on the change, and not
the desire of change that pre-
tendeth the reformation. =
Pointing out that. under a
system Of popular government,
it IS important that an intelligent
public opinion shall so shape
governmental policies that they
shall so conserve the we'll being
of the body polite and its con-
stituent members as to insure
their progress, Mr.. Finley said:
Real patriotic progressive
ness is that which seeks to con-
serve and coordinate all of the
useful forces of the country
without the imposition of special
restrictions or the comforting of
special rights. It is the progress
siveness that, instead of impos-
ing undue restriction upon agen-
cies of production or distribution.
would leave to them the maxi
mum of liberty consistent with
the welfare of the polite as a
whole. It is the progressiveness
that would weigh carefully each
proposition for a change, consid-
ering all of its ultimate. as well
as its immediate, effects, and
would not, even if everything

as excited and impressionable
people, in time Of an epidemic of
some dangerous disease will fol-
low every course of treatment
that may be recommended to
them"
After emphasizing the import
ance of shaping governmental
policies effecting business enter
prises with due regard for the
laws Of economics, he said:
Il have spoken of unduly re-
strictive governmental policies
from the viewpoints of public
policy and of economic soundness.
They have also to be considered
from the viewpoint of what is
just.
I'VE may illustrate this point
by supposing that the legislature
of q state should prohibit any
farmer within the state from
charging or receiving more than
seven cents pound for cotton,
or should require him to use a
certain type of barn, and to en-
ploy a farm hand, in addition to
the driver, to ride on top of every
load of cotton hauled to market.
The State might be able. by ex-
pert testimony. to show that,
theoretically, the cost of produc-
tion was less than seven cents a
pound and that, taking into ,ac-
count the value of the seed, the
farmer adopting the most eco
nomical and most skillful meth
DDS of farm management could
earn six, eight or ten per cent
on his investment with seven
cent cotton. 1t might be able to
show by the same sort of testi-
mony that the prescribed type Of
barn was good, and that the ex-
ira man on a load of cotton could
| s6nJ hes find something to do
But would there be any doubt in
the minds Of the farmers of that
States as to the injustice of such
regulation of their business.
though, without questioning the
good faith OF any one, it may be
pointed out that it would be no
more unjust than regulations
that in some instances have ac-
tually been imposed upon rail-
ways"
Mr.. Finley spoke of the trans
portation system of the United
State as being so closely related
to the business of the country
that undue restrictions upon
transportation must react upon
every individual whatever may
be his occupation, and even
though he might not, in the
course of a year, have single
business transaction with a trans
portation company. AS illus
trating the magnitude of the
public service performed by the
railways of the United States he
quoted statistics showing that.
while every American is justly
proud of the Panama Canal, the
Southern Railway Company
alone, in a single year, carries
three times the amount of traffic
that is estimated will go through
the Canal in a year, and that the
average haul on the Southern
Railway is three times the length
of the Canal.
Continuing, he said:
my purporse in referring to
governmental regulation is to
develop the idea that all regula-
tions Of the business activities
Of the citizen are not necessarily
progressive. Their effect may
be to retard real progress. With
respect to all such policies /
think it is the part of wisdom to

The News At Ripley.

Miss Molly Mcdonald had departed
for the west-carefully %treasuring her
fathers detailed letter of instruction
filled with interest and enthusiasm.
She was ar army girl, full Of conf
dence in herself and delighted at the
prospect of an unusual summer.
Moreover, her natural spirit Of ad-
venture had been considerably stimu-
lated by the envious comments Of her
schoolmates, who apparently believed
her wondrously daring to venture such
a trip, the apprehensive advice of her
teachers, and much reading, not very
judicious1y chosen, relative to pioneer
life on the plains. The possible hard
ships OF the long Journey alone did
not appall her In the least. She had
made similar trips before and had al
ways found pleasant and attention
companionship. Being a wholesome,
pleasant-faced girl. with eyes decided
ly beautiful, and an attractive person
ality, the making Of new friendships
was never difficult. OF course, the
stage ride would be an entirely fresh
and precarious experience, but then
her father would doubtless meet her
before that, or send some Off e to act
as escort. Altogether the prospect
appeared most delightful and alluring.
The illness Of the principal of Sun
nycrest had resulted in the closing OF
the school some few days earlier than
had been anticipated, and it was SO
lonely there after the others had de
parted that Miss Molly FASTENED her

A very remarkable experiment
which any one can repeat with very
little trouble has been unearthed by Z
German. Take a piece OF paper OF
such thickness that, when 1t is laid
upon a piece Of printed matter, the
characters just show through, but can.
mot be read. Placing 1t over a printed
ssheet, impart to 1t a circular motion
ITO and fro, and to your surprise you
will find that now you can read the
print below the paper.
It IL rather difficult to explain this
peculiar effect. The explanation Of
fered Is that the paper has thin places
In Il, and by rapidly moving 1t over
tho print, every part Of the printed
matter 10 exposed In turn underneath
on or the other OF the thin places In
the paper, and thus the entire print
scan be read. However that may be
the experiment Is interesting and very
simple. requiring for its performance
only the simplest means imaginable.
