In spite of the repeated grumblings
of the office seekers in the Democratic
party it would appear from an official
statement issued by the postofiice de-
partment that Postmaster General Bur
Lesson is doing everything possible to sup
ply all vacancies in postoffices with some
Democratic aspirant and so great has
been his industry that there are now
only All vacancies in first Offices
that the president can appoint. This
statement sets forth that when Mr. Bur
Lesson entered upon his duties in the de-
partment March 4, there were more than
800 vacancies and that about 600 more
have since occurred through death, re-
moval, resignation or otherwise, making
the total vacancies in the presidential

tons sent to the Senate LII have al

1t costs IS typical American cities an
average of less than dollar a year per
pupil to provide free textbooks, accord
ing to w. S. Deffenbaugh, of the United

The course of study in the Alabama
normal schools is to be radically changed
to include such subjects as: Rural so.
GEOLOGY, biology, domestic science, do
mestic art, library methods, school gar
dening, and agriculture through club
work.
Some of the rural schools in the state
of Washington have college graduates
as teachers. In that state they pay
good salaries to country teachers be-
cause they believe that the country
school should be as well taught as the
city school.
Kentucky is having a real educational
awakening, so real that people are not
afraid to pay what it costs to create and
maintain an efficient system of schools.
One tax collector reports that citizens
who have been in the habit of complain
ing because of higher taxes said it was
"all right when informed that the in
creased rate was in order to give more
money to the public schools.
Consolidation of schools is going on
TO such an extent in the United States
that, even with building boom in prog
ress, many localities report fewer
schools each year. Tennessee offrs some
notable examples. Knox county has
erected IA new buildings during the
year, yet the total number of school
houses in use has been reduced from 154
to 1876. How consolidation helps attend
ance is shown by another Tennessee
county tLauderdalel, where new con-
solidated school had twice the enroll
ment of the combined three schools
which it replaced. The better CONSOLE
dated school attracts better attendance,
despite the fact that it is less easy to
reach.

Weather and Crops.

New Orleans picayunc Nov. 8: The
past week has been period OF real
cold weather for so early in the
season. There has been some rain in
all parts of the belt, but the pre-
cipitation has not been heavy. On
the other hand, the cold wave has
extended practically to the gulf
coast and killing frosts have been
experienced in nearly all districts.
Just what effect the cold wave has
had on the ultimate yield OF the
cotton crop remains to be seen. That
the plant has been killed in many
parts of the belt, precluding the
making of any more bolls, is certain,
but there is not lacking tendency
in some quarters to minimize the
injury to the plant and to still cling
to reasonably large crop totals.
The cold weather, while it has
stopped vegetation, has dried out
the fields and facilitated picking,
ginning and marketing of cotton. II
the movement to date was any safe
criterion whereby to judge the yield
rather full crop estimate would
be justified, but the size OF the
movement has no reference what
ever to the ultimate yield, as the
marketing of the crop is governed
mainly by the demand and the char
acter Of values.
The sugar grinding season is now
on in earnest in the sugar district
of this State.

CROSS LAKE TRACT.
The Eleven Thousand Dollars Nee
eSs;ry 10 Secure the Eleven Thou
sand Acres at Hand-The City of
Shreveport Ready to Take Title.

At a meeting Of the City Council
held Monday forenoon, with Mayor
Eastman and all the commissioners
present, Lieutenant Governor y. G.
Bafret offered his personal assist
ance to the city, if necessary, to Sc
cure the Gross Lake tract, which is
intended for reservoir. In the
course of his interview with the
Council Mr.. Barret reviewed the
Gross Lake matter from the time Of
Paul Lowenthal deceased, when a
representative of Ward One in the
City Council to today. 1t was
through Paul Lowenthal that the
first effort at obtaining this tract was
made. 1t was when in the Legisla
ture that Mr.. Barret formulated the
plans and the details which finally
secured the recognition Of Shreve-
port to the tract, which promises to
.be of the greatest value to this
community. He had never sought
to advertise himself and was not
now seeking any public prominence,
and all he desired is to be accorded
some of the credit for what he has
done and intends to do which has
been given freely to others. In
brief, he only wants little credit
on the home lap as he expressed it,
or hn in hn hnlIInU
of this Gross Lake tract by the City
of Shreveport. He had met with the
Council to advise with him and to
say to them that if they experienced
any difficulty in negotiating the
bonds, $ii ,O00, voted by the people
for this lake tract, he would assist
in securing the money needed. As
a fact he was ready to get the
money and would get it rather than
that Shreveport should be in de-
fault.
In the course of the interview it
was developed that the city has par
tally negotiated the bonds, that the
city is ready to- take title whenever
the State shall give by official sur
vey the actual acreage within the
Gross Lake tract
As already explained by the Cau-
casian, the requirement of this tract
by the City Of Shreveport is for a
reservoir and not for the explolta-
ton for oil or gas. 1t is sufficient to
say that the intent of the State will
be maintained regardless of techni-
calities.
The city is ready to accept the
Cross Lake title whenever the State
will make the title.
