HAVE TO WORK
MAY NOT BE DESIGNATED AS
CHIEF OF THE ARMY
STAFF.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Under
the army regulations the designation
of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood as chief
of the staff of the army expired at
midnight last night. Consequently
one of the first official acts of the new
secretary of war must be to redesig-
nate Gen. Wood schief of staff or to
make another selection from among
the major generals. Secretary CARR
son expected, after conference with
President Wilson, to be in position
to announce his decision tomorrow
morning.
Should no designation be made at
once the duties Of chief of staff would
be discharged by Major Gen. Wither-
spoon, the assistant chief. In that
case Gen. Woods position would be
that of senior officer of, the army
awaiting assignment to duty, pIcba-
bly, to one Of the military divisions
or departments, where he would sue

SCHOOL AT MT. PLEASANT.

Congratulations are due. the enter
prising and progressive citizens of
the hustling town of Mt. Pleasant
upon the successful completion Of
their splendid new school building.
The exercices there on Friday mark
ed the formal opening Of the school
and were most interesting and i'm
pressive.
The people of Mt. Pleasant are
thoroughly alive to the importance Of
having good public schools. They re-
alize that ignorance and poverty go
hand in hand; that those commune
ties are the most prosperous where
their citizens are the most efficient.
In the matter of real public school
sentiment they are probably ahead
of the people OF any other section Of
the county, fact that is highly 70
their credit.
Folks down about Mt Pleasant are
great in all the essentials of good cit
izenship, albeit they are bit too SEN
sitive for people that ordinarily STOW
uncommon Sense and good judgment
They, or at least many of them seem
to imagine that the ramaindee OF
Maury county has some sort of preju-
dice against Mt. Pleasant. Nothing
could be further from the facts. The
Herald knows OF no such feeling. II
any there be it is certain that II does
not share 1t. This paper has the very
highest regard for the sturdy citizen
ship of Mt Pleasant. They have al
ways been in the forefront of every
battle for good government and the
very last thing that The Herald de-
sires is the transfer of that splendid
section to. another county.
II is hoped that Mt. Pleasant will
have a school that will be equal to
the very best in the land. one that
will meet every opportunity and dis
charge every duty to the future citi-
zenship Of that section: a school that
will prove the greatest asset of the
community.

AN UNTRUE CHARGE.

Commenting upon the charge OF the
Chattanooga Times that the Banner
has for years "assailed the charac
ter and reputation of Comptroller
Dibrell in the most offensive person
al way" the latter paper enters a
strong denial and asserts that 1t has
never made any personal attacks
whatever upon Mr.. Dibrell.
The Herald can testify to the truth.
fulness of the Banners statement
We have never seen any disposition
upon the part of the Banner ITO
hound" Mr.. Dibrell and certainly that
paper has never been personally Of
fensiye in its criticisms of his off,
cial record.
The Banner, in common with a ma.
jority Of the papers of the state, has
repeatedly criticised Mr.. Dibrell's ad.
ministration of the back tax laws; It
has frequently called attention to the
shortcomings in his last annual re-
port. The Herald has done the same
thing. However, for Dibrell person.
ally, The Herald does not care . rap.
It certainly bears him no personal i'll
will
This paper has frequently denounc.
ed the back tax system in this state
and has repeatedly called attention to
the Ubiquitous machine that had been
built up under the system. Mr. Dib-
rell makes the mistake in believing
that he is immune to criticism: that
his official record is public property
and that the people have right to
inquire into his official conduct
II the suspicion exists that Mr..
Dibrelps conduct of his Office has not
been altogether what it should have
been, he more than any other is re-
sponsible for its existence. It has
been his habit to reply to criticisms
of his official record by the most VIC.
lent personal abuse of his critics: he
has sought to silence the opposition
press by threats of personal violence.
His methods have of course proven
ineffective. It is to the honor and
glory of the American press that 1t
cannot be bullied nor threatened into
silence. There have been martyrs
in the past; there will doubtless be
Others In the future, but no man
whether he be president of the Unit
ed States of the comptroller Of the
state, can bully the great press of
this land into silence.

COLUMBUS. Miss. Mar. 6.--Rev
w. e. Dakin, rector Of st. Pauff
Episcopal church here, has rendered
his resignation to the vestry, In order
that he may accept a call to st. Pc
|ter's church at Columbia, Tenn. Rev.
Dakin's resignation has not yet been
accepted by the yestry but it is be-
lieved that it will be although the of.
ficials and members of the church re-
greet very much to part with him.
Great pressure is being brought to
bear upon Mr.. Dakin to have him re-
consider his resignation and remain
in Columbus. He Is one of the most
popular members who ever served a
charge in this city. His eight years
here have beer very prosperous for
his charge. The interests of the
church have progressed in every way
under his able and consecrated ad-
Of its affairs. Mrs. Dnkin
is also very popular here not only
with the members of the church but
with all the people. She Is an untir.
ing worker in the vineyard of the
Lord and has been of invaluable as
sistance to her husband in his church
work.
Should the efforts to have Mr.. Da-
kin withdraw his resignation prove
unavailing, and it is believed that
they will, he will probably leave tere
about the first of next month so that
he can take up his duties at Coum-
bia soon after the rectorate there is
vacated by Rev. e. B. Andrews whom
he will succeed
