Next week is commencement week
at the Rusk County Training School
for Teachers, which will graduate a
class of eighteen this year

of 1915: Misses Zelda Breed, Hol-
combe; Rose Chickering, Hawkins;
Hattie E. Colburn, Rosa Klopfen-

thereby becomes the valedictorian.
This is a very good class, consid-
ering the fact that the enrolment
this year was doubtless cut down

year for the closing of the institu-

ton to the schools continuance some
who had planned on attending made
other arrangements.

held at the Christian church on the

Road Inspection should be taken

WARMING TO DEMOCRATS

70 All Mississippi Democrats:
. Information has reached me
that an organized secret move
ment has been launched by the
enemies of the Democratic noml
nee for Governor. to induce as
many irreconcilables as possible
to vote the Socialist ticket at
the general election, November
All loyal Democrats are there
fore urged to go the polls on that
date not only to make double
sure the election of the party
nominee but in their ballots to
put the stamp of their oondem-
nation SO emphatlcally upon this
Judas act that twill never again
be undertaken in Mississippi
politics. The man who Lartici-
pates in a party primary and
votes against the nominee as
declared in that election, COM
mits an act of deliberate treach-
cry and dishonor.
Very Respectfully,

MAINTENANCE OF EARTH
ROADS.
BY J. Fl. Dorroh, Professor Of

Civil Engineering.
The work done on maintenan-
ce of the 40 thousand miles of
earth roads in Mississippi costs
probably not less than million
dollars each year. Lii some dis
trlcts the results proveathat earth
roads can be kept in good con-
dition throughout the year.
In others it can scarcely kys
claimed that full value has been
received from the expensY
A close study Of methods pur.
sued BY those wheS have been
most successful, 5oth n this and
other statesahhes prompted the
ewing suggestion. Do not
attempt 10 Construct roads once
or even twice a year and expect
them to maintain themselves.
They must be maintained con-
tionusly. 1t costs no more to prop
erly maintain an improved road
under good supervision than is
now spent in many places for
putting up the roads once or
twice year without competent
inspection.
Avoid large contracts for main
tenance no contractor should
have more miles of road than
his team can drag, making two
round trips in one working day
"A good system provides a road
superintendent and repair gang
with grader, combined with con-
tracts for dragging. The super
intendent inspeets dragging in
his district OF there may be one
superintendent for the entire
county and several grader and
repair gangs under competent
foreman. LII the entire county
is under one man, he should
have a light automobile.
Semi i-annual shaping up of
roads and annual cleaning of
bitches are absolutely necessary.
bitches will probably require
two cleanings A repair crew
must follow the grader and fill
holes remove sod from the center
of the road and level off the loose
dirt by hand tools or drag, the
latter preferred. Heavy sod
land piles of loose earth should
never be left in the roadway.
When not grading roads a re-
pair gang, if provided can be en-
ployed building new roads, build
ing bridges or surfacing with
sand-clay where needed. Clean
ing of bitches and shaping up
roads should follow the spring
rains the earlier the better.
IL E. ~ r. q &
| Fall grading, and ditch clean
ing, if needed, should be done
while the ground is moist if
feasible, otherwise heavy dust
land later mud make more work.
I.Upder no circumstances should
fall grading be deferred until
rains have set in. 1t should be
done in September. In shaping
the roads, the bitches should be
broad and shallow, the roadway
sloping gradually into the ditch
One grader aud repair gang
| should sbe able to handle about
rs miles Of improved road.
! Under any system Of lnainten
lance, regular dragging with a
light drag is absolutely neces-
AIRY. A dragging will usually re
quire two round trips over the
road. In the summer months
dragging should be completed
within "a hodrs after each rain
has stopped in winter it may be
deferred "a hours longer. Drag
glng after the road is nearly dry
does no good The amount Of
dragging will vary with the seas
Ion, hence contract should be
made by the mile Of road drag

. TRIBUTE TO SEN. Will.
L|AMS
"SAVOYARD," WASHING
TON CORRESPONDENT
TALKS OF WILLIAMS
GREATNESS.

washington correspondents, mas
the following to say of Missis
sippi's senior senator in recent
letter to the metropolitan press
he represents
Ii appears that the sovereign
people of the sovereign state Of
Mississippi have voted John
Sharp Williams the most illus
trious living citizen of that great
commonwealth.
So say we all. John Sharp
Williams is remarkable man
the first senator in the American
congress, the ablest and most
accomplished statesman in the
American legislature. He travel
ed no royal road to this distin
ion He worked his pas v
the front In both he, sage 20
showed 'bimseif to
possess the qualities that make
the great parliamentary debater.
The hpase and senate of our
congress are not perfect but in
one respect each is infallible
each knows the capacity of its
each and every member and
weighs him with perfect exacti
tude. Neither house will toler-
ate sham. To gain first place
in our congress a man must have
the goods and show them. When
"a member rises in either house
a new face strange voice he
is listened to with respect and
ere he has spoken fifteen min
ntes his measure is taken and it
is always and ever the absolute
ly correct measure. 1t was new
er known to be at fault. Physi-
cal presence and voice of course
go great ways and are mater
ial aids but congress will not be
bored and Adonis and Arpheus
combined in one would speak to
empty benches in senate or house
unless he fetched some brains
with him.
Now John Sharp is no dude.
He has not the presence OF Apol
10 and his is not tuneful tongue
/ am always reminded of an ane-
cdote taken from French history
when John rises to make aspeech
At the siege of Toulon Dugon
mier the commander of the
French forces was holding a con-
ference with his generals and
Bonaparte then a subordinate
left the councils. A general
spoke up and asked who that
little insignificant officer was
70 which the commander replied
That little insignificant officer
is a greater man than any Of US.
When John Sharp Williams
takes the floor in the United
States Senate the chamber and
the galleries give ear. He never
rises unless he has something
to say and before he has finished
says something that will give
the senate food for thought.
That is what makes John
Sharp Williams the biggest man
in the United States senate.
AS debater the senate has
not known his match since Allen
Ct. Thurman and Ben Hill and
in a rough and tumble | don't be
lieve the senate has known John
Sharp Williams match since
Stephen A. Douglas.
Francis Jeffry the famous es-
sayist Of the Edinburg Review
opined that had Benjamin Frank
lin been a graduate oil Harvard
tho world would never have
heard of him and it is doubtless
true that many considerable mer
have been spoiled by classical
education; but there are numer-
Gus cases where college training
