A vlLLtANous ATTACK.

The letter received by men,
bers of the legislature signed by
IS. T. Payer" attacking Presi-
dent Whitfield, of the Industrial
Institute and College, and the
great school over which he pre-
sides, was one of the most vii
famous and cowardly attacks
ever made on an individual and
a public institution in the history
of the state.
The manner in which the at
tack was made indicates plainly
that the party was not sure Of
his ground, and was afraid to
come out in the open and make
his fight. If the facts and con-
ditions set out in this letter are
thought to exist in the mind of
S. t. Payer then he is the only
man in the state who holds such
an opinion.
The Industrial Institute and
College has always been noted
for it's high standard required of
it's girls and the public generally
have never doubted that the
school has kept faith with the
parents who sent their daughters
there, and have protected them
from any outside interference.
The rules governing the conduct
of the girls and the restrictions
thrown around them have always
been more rigid than the COM
mon run of girls schools and
just how this irresponsible party
has worked himself up to the
point of making these unfair
charges cannot be imagined.
His attack will not injure Prof.
Whitfield in his great work nor
besmirch the character of the
girls in the school. S. T. Payer
is a disgruntled state tax payer,
who would rather destroy the
great institutions of the state
than to see them built up.

The commission appointed by
Federal Judge Aldrich at Con
cord, N. H., to inquire into Harry
K. Thaw's mental condition have
reported that in their opinion
Thaw's liberty under bail would
not be dangerous or a menace to
public safety. Public sympathy
has favored Thaw's release. as
everything goes to show that at
this time he is not insane. But
for the bulldog tenacity OF VIM.
Travers Jerome, Thaw would no
doubt gain his liberty and lead a
quiet life without danger OF harm
to any one. If he is sane the
great state of New York cannot
afford to lock him up with luna
tics.

The Supreme Court on Monday
rendered a decision in the case
of ". C. Walters, alleged kid
napper of little Bobbie Dunbar
of Opelausa, La. which sustalns
Governor Brewer in granting a
requisition for Walters return to
where he was under Indictment
for kidnapping the child. The
identity of Walters was the sub
ject of much doubt at the time
of his arrest, as another party
bearing the same name and In
itiais was in that section OF the
state at that time, and also the
identity of the child was kept in
doubt for several months.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

The agitation in South Missis-
sippi for the past ten years for a
constitutional convention h s
finally reached the stage where
the question can be determined
either for or against the conven-
ton. On Monday representative
Joe Owen, of Union County, in
troduced a concurrent resolution
in the house which would SUBJ
NIT the question to a vote of the
people Of the State at an election
to be held on Feb. 20. Should
a majority of the people vote in
favor of the convention then, the
legislature to order the conven-
ton; and in the event that a
majority did not favor the calling
of the convention the matter to
be dropped.
Mr.. Ovens resolution was adj
opted by the House by a vote of
"a to 26.
South Mississippi by reason of
the fact of the great increase in
population, contends that that
section does not receive it's pro-
portionate share of the dlstribu-
ton of the school fund, that other
sections of the state receive a
much greater proportion of that
fund than does South Mississippi
and that as it is a white section
of the state the inequality should
be adjusted.
The question of representation
in the legislature does not of it
self make out a case in favor
of South Mississippi. Represen-
tation in the legislature is not of
such inequality as to hazard the
interest of any section and place
that section at great disadvan-
tage in our law-making body. A
new constitution could not give
them many representatives more
than they now receive under the
present superintendent. Before
the people this feature will not
count for much in favor of our
friends in the southern portion
of the state. In the matter of
the distribution of public school
fund it is entirely different.
South Mississippi has suffered
on account of their failure to re-
ceive an equitable share of the
public school funds. Since our
present constitution was adopted
"a years ago that section has in
creased more than any other sec
ton in the state. The distribu-
ton of the school fund being
fixed by the constitution the
legislatures have been unable to
furnish the needed relief. That
this relief should be given there
can be no doubt. They are en-
titled to. it, and if the matter
cannot be adjusted by amend
ment then a constitutional con-
vention should be held.

Postal Receipts of Tupelo.

As a true index to the business
of a town or city the postal re-
ceipts can be relied upon to fur
nish the most reliable data from
which to draw deductions.
The business at the post Office
here has shown a most wonder
ful increase in the past few years,
and 1918 showed a substantial
increase over any former year.
In order to reach a comprehen-
sive estimate of our business
conditions we will compare the
receipts of 1918 of Tupelo and
that of Corinth, our neighbor on
the north with a larger popula-
ton.
Postal Receipts for 1918 of Cor
NTH $19, 600. 90,
Postal Receipts for 1918 of Tup-
elo SIG, 042.00.
Postal Receipts for December,

Tupelo's increase oyer 1912,
"a 1-3 per cent.
Corinth's rural routes. 10.
Tupelo's rural routes, 3.
In the month of December the
parcels post business added very
greatly to the work of the office,
which has kept the force hard at
work since it's Inauguration. Dur
ing the months Of October and
November over six tons of mail
was handled in each month over
the Star Route, running east
from here.
The increased business of the
office is being handled by Post
master Mitts and his assistants
in a manner to meet the approval
Of the public and to the entire
satisfaction of the postoffice de-
partment at Washington.
The new building is badly
needed and Uncle Sam should
get busy and erect the new
fifty thousand dollar building in
which the business Of the post
office can be handled with greater
satisfaction.
