Teachers Elect

The Mississippi teachers, who have
been in attendance on the twenty
ninth annual convention, which closed
n.the auditorium Of the Capitol Street
Methodist church, have gone home.
After a day of accustomed activity,
winding up with a well attended meet
ing at night. the teachers assembled
fresh and eager for the winding up
details. being called to order by Pres
ident Woodley. There were reports Of
various committees, including that on
neurology, on nominations, resolu-
lions, the presidents address, and 9TH
er heads.
A feature of the session was the
adoption of a resolution of sympathy
and regret by reason Of the illness Of
W. H. Smith, supervisor of rural
schools, promoter Of corn club work,
and former president of the assoc1a-
ton. Mr.. Smith had sent a message
of fraternal greeting to the convention,
which adopted by a rising vote a re-
turn message of sympathy and hope,
to be transmitted by telegram to Mr..
Smith at Durant.
The following officers were elected
by reclamation, after the committee
on nominations had made its report:
President-H. P. Hughes. principal
McComb city schools.
Vice-President-O. A. Shaw, Winona
city schools.
Treasured. A. Hill, Bonneville,
Prentiss county.
Secretary-H. l.. McCloskey, Halle
hurst city schools( ~re-elected).
This is a fine roster OF officers, and
members Of the association congratu-
lated the nominating committee on the
excellent slate recommended. Each
man Of the four has made good In the
community in which he has become a
factor in development, as well as In
the broader educational fields on the
outside.
The next place of meeting was not
selected, this being a detail which Is
left to the executive committee, which
has until the end of the year In which
to decide. However, 1t seems to be
conceded that Meridian will be the
meeting place for 1915.

City in Darkness When Electric Plant
Put Out Of Commission.
Greenville.-A wind and rain storm
struck Greenville and did great dam
age.
The big smokestack of the Delta
Electric Light and Power company's
plant blew down and crushed through
the top of the main building and put
the machinery out Of business prob
ably for a week.
In the meantime, the street cars
were dead on the tracks, where they
were located when the accident oc-
Cured. The city was in utter dark
ness and many manufacturing plants
dependent upon electric power were
at a standstill. The rainfall was near
ly four inches in a few hours, and the
streets were flooded. Several houses
were blown down and the streets were
strewn with limbs broken from trees.
The electric light plant at Lake Viii
lage, Ark, receives its power from the
Greenville plant, and that town is
also in darkness. The loss from the
storm is hard to estimate, but will
reach into the thousands.
