tho sagacious Ben Franklin, who wrote:

HATTZE'S HOME LIFE
RUDEL Y SHATTERED
But She Couldn't Make Out Case
Against Pearl Smith.

The home life of Luther Batiste, a
negro, has been rudely shattered. The
rock ON which the ship Of domestic
tranquility was wrecked was gossip.
Hattie Batiste, his wife, appeared in
the City Court today. weeping copious
alligator tears, and seeking redress Of
the woman whom she claimed SIAN
dered her and caused suspicion to
enter into the family circle. Hattie
allowed that 81 aint seed my husband

When she was told that the City
Court could not handle case Of that
kind she left the court room in haste,
saying "Im gwine down to Mr.. Dick
Powe's cot and git dat woman TO-
slander."
Pearl Smith, the woman in the case,
who was charged with disturbing the
peace and loud and tumultuous con-
duct was dismissed because Hattie
could not make out case against her.
1t appears that all she did was to talk.

The petition " the votess Of Nc.
lzMnEin. for, nsrmission'sotbuild q a2ar
900 school house was denied by the
school board although it was, signed
by almost 80 per cent of the qualifled
electors of the district. The petition
for a. $4,000 school house was approx
ed and sent up to the county Board OF
supervisors to be acted on.
The reason why the school board
did not approve of the petition for a
$4,000 school is technical one. The
law requires that bond issue to build
q school house is not to exceed per
cent of the assessed value of the prop
erty in the school district. The asses
sed value of the property in the Nc
Laurin district, according to Chancery
Clerk Herbert Gillis. is less than $780,
0Se and for that reason a 2O,00e bond
issue for a school house would be H.
legal, and therefore the school board
would not approve of 1t.
The school bocid Is not opposed
to fine school buildings. says Rev. e.
]. Currie, superintendent of education,
but it must stay within the law. The
school board would like to see hand
some and permanent building at Nc
Laurin, but in order to sustain such a
school as was contemplated it would
raise the tax rate to mills, which
they now agree would be too high.
When the question was raised yes
terday In a meeting of the school board
the advocates of the $4,000 bond issue
maintained that the real value of the
property exceeds million dollars. AL
most the whole of the school building
committee, consisting of D. H. Ra-
vesies, G. w. Cox. T. T. Deane, H. H.
Tidwell and H. Burns, were present at
the meeting to urge that the school
board allow them to build the kind OF
school building they want. Several OF
them remained over today to see that
the $4,000 petition goes through the
board Of supervisors all right.
The board Of supervisors has before
it petition circulated by ]. o. Barron
in the district asking for a $4,000
school building and third petition
against making bond issue Of any
kind for schools.
| or the sixty qualified voters Of the
district more than fifty signed the peti
tion for the $4,000 building. J. r
Garraway, member Of the school
board for the county. was one of the
original signers and helped to circulate
the petition. 1t was only after his at
tention was called to the provision oi
the law that he would receed from his
position.

Through the county-Meetings To
Be Held at Hattiesburg, McLaurin
Helena and BrookIyn-WeIi Known
Men on List.

Forrest county farmers will go to
school Saturday. School will be held
simultaneously all over the county. 1t
win be conducted under the auspices
Of the extension department Of the
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College at Starkville. The school
will be on wheels. A special train
has besn on the read for several weeks
holding agricultural rallies In Clark,
Wayne Green. George. Jackson and

burg at 10 o'clock, and at Helena and
Brooklyn at o'clock. There will be
two speakers at each place except at
Hattiesburg, where there will be four.
The principal of the agricultural
school which will visit this county will
be Professor R. H. Pate, who is direc-
tor of the extension work of the A.
& M. College. One of the best things
the school is that it will not cost any
thing. 1t is entirely supported by the
state.
Professor Patrick, advance agent for
the rally says there will be twelve
speakers in all including three experts
loaned by the Department of AgricLf'
ture Of the United States government.
Cross-Examination by Farmers.
One of the attractive features of the
arlly will be that each speaker after
his lecture will allow himself to be
cross-examined by the farmers present.
1t has been urged that the farmers
prepare their questions in advance and
present them in writing. but they will
be answered whether they are written
or asked on the spur of the moment.
The questions are not limited to any
particular branch of farming, but there
will be experts among the speakers
on any subject relating to agriculture
or animal husbandry.
Among the speakers will probably
be DR.. Reese, who spoke here during
the International Harvester campaign.
DR.. Reese is popular speaker with
the farmers and they will always turn
out to hear him.
Another speaker who made the trip
with the extension school last year Is
Ira Carpenter.
J. F. Waggoner, expert agriculturist
and scientific farmer graduate Of the
agricultural school of Ames, Iowa, may
also be one of the speakers.
Professor Archibald Smith, who
teaches animal husbandry at the A. &
M. College and who is also secretary
of the live stock sanitary board, is
expected to be in the party.
L. A. Higgins, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, Dairy d.
vision, stationed at Brookhaven, Will
speak on the subject of the milk COW.
Prof. Garner, of the Mcneil expert
ment station. and Prof. Critics are both
widely known among the farmers.
They probably will be with the special
| train. p
Local arrangements for the rally
have been under the direction of r.,
G. Hauenstein, secretary Of the Com
mercial Club. Mr. Hauenstein has
sent circulars throughout the county
notifying the people of the speaking,
the time and the place.
