The Scarcity Of Ships.

John Sharp Williams, during the
debate on the ship purchase bill in
the Senate, said:
We might have h d this law five
months ago; and if we had had il
five months ago we would have
saved during that five months up
to t j good hour, S8O,OO0,00O in
freights to the American people
twice all the money that is called
for under this bill---and now sena-
tors are going on and flibustering
against it and delaying it, when il
costing about S16,OO0.0O0 a month
to the American people. Every
day that you delay it you are cost
ing the American commerce Que.
thirteenth of that amount
about half million dollars a day
Is your love Of talk worth that? Is
there a man in the Senate who does
not know how he is going to vote
on this billY
There was some attempt on the
part Of the Republican press to rid.
icule these figures presented by the
Mississippi SENATOR, but they were
hardly an exaggeration. The coun-
ty las losl much money from the
lack Of ships, and, what is worse, is
still losing it.
There as no getting around the
stubborn fact that the shipping
trust was and is the sole beneficiary
of the filibuster which defeated
the ship purchase bill. Every bale
Of cotton and every foot of lumber
shipped from the South, because ol
that filibuster. must continue to pay
tribute to the shipping trust-Hat-

es a membership of Ia young ladies
and is an arm of the national 400
1t is known as the "Toca" Club, and
was organized during tho past week
though it has been under considera-
ton, in embryo, so to speak, for the
past month or two. The officers OF
the club are as follows: Winnifred
Cory, president; Nellie Lunt, vice
president; Miss Brinkerhoof, secre.
tary-treasurer. Miss Zelma Jones Is
official reporter.
The purpose of the club is primarily
social, though the educational side
will not be neglected. The first so.
cial function was held at the home
of Mrs. Maggie Roche on Thanksgiv-
ing day.

The town girls will play the school
girls a game of basket ball at o.

sports during thte afternoon and a
dance at night.
Last Friday night dance and sup
per were given to the wood haulers.
Something like ten or twelve loads Of
wood were hauled in, and was divided
about equally between w. r. Davis
and the meeting house. Those who
did not haul wood and partook of the
supper and dance paid dollar each
Four or five dollars was collected from
non-residentts, also, who were here
and paid tickets to the dance.
Coal hauling has been quite drag
this fall. Only an average of about
three teams day; but now people
are waking up to the fact that win
ter is near and no adequate supply of
coal to burn, and with one more snow
storm we may be shut out from the
mine for this season.

BRANCH A. C. NOTES.

School has been discontinued for
the Thanksgiving holidays and many
of the students who live in nearby
settlements, have gone home. These
students in particular should take Mr..
Homer's advice and not get turkey
tits, which will develop into the dread
disease, stomach-to-titis.
= =
Dr. Leonard gave the students
some excellent advice last Tuesday, on
the attitude Of the boys towards the
girls. If his advice is followed there
will be no girls without escorts in the
future. w. doubt very much that any
amount of hints will have lasting eff
feet on the boys.
The habitual smile on Mr.. Homer's
face has increased to wonderful d.
mansions of late. The cause Is ex-
planned by the fact that the agricul-
tural department has recently had
added to it another team Of pure-hred
horses, which formerly belonged to
the extension division at st. George.
The second issue of The Student
will be out early next week. The
staff has been working hard on this
number which, it is expected, will be
equal to the first issue.
