VANDALISM.

Some weeks ago the Enterprise
had something to say about some
reprehensible conduct at the school
building, the same taking place
after night, during the absence Of
the faculty.
During the past week, upon two
occasions, some one or ones, sup
posedly boys on mischief bent,
went to the school building and
cut up the nice window curtains
which had been purchased by the
faculty and pupils. While these
curtains we're not expensive ones,
the teachers and most OF the pupils
were sorely grieved upon finding
the curtains cut with knives.
The Enterprise does not hesitate
to say that this was nothing short
Of vandalism, and if you boys gull
ty OF the trick do not understand
the meaning Of the word we refer
you to Webster's dictionary for
its full definition. The parents of
the town who have boys in school
ought to cooperate with Mr..
Moore and the faculty in finding
out who is guilty Of this conduct.
It ought not to be allowed to con-
tinue. II the boys have any grudge
against theIprincipal or the faculty
why not go to them and have it
out, instead Of taking this method
of revenge, if that is what it is done
for
1t ought not to be necessary in a
civilized community like this to
place a night watchman at the
school building to protect the pro-
perty, but this may be done if this
thing continues.

MY friends, in the words of
most beloved of all Americans,
with charity to all, with malice
toward none | shall introduce to
you tonight a man. A man who
has had many honors and many
temptations, and many sorrows.
A man who has walked with
Pilgrim in the Valley of the
Shadow Of Humiliation, but who
came out with ST. Paul in the
Sunshine .. a newer Iila. Success
has beer his; and his has also
been defeat ard the cudgelings of
a pi'i'ees fate. Success comes al
ways with a glad hand, but it is
the gauntlet of adversely that
teaches men how to grip with
steel
A man bred Of the South and
whose heart has always held 10
The noblest traditions Of his
country. A man who in politics
has always been democrat-be-
fore breakfast, before dinner, be-
fore supper, and even after the
curfew rang. A man who has
never repudiated his friends, nor
deserted his enemies. A man

LAMBS ARRIVING IN OCTOBER
Ewes Should Then Be Put in Winter
Quarters - Success Depends
Largely Upon Rapid Gains.

The lambs should begin to drop
about the last week in October and
the ewes should then be put into
winter quarters as there is less danger
of losses and the lambs will thrive
much better AS success depends
upon the rapid gains, ewes should
be fed on the right kind of food-that
which is best adapted to producing
large amount of milk.
Corn ensilage, roots, clover hay
with grain ration of corn, oats, linseed
meal and wheat bran will make an
ideal ration for rapid growth, even
though it may not be mixed so that It
will form a strictly balanced ration.

The Enterprise commends the
public-spiritedness Of the Bank
Of Gleason and the citizens Of that
hustling, thriving town in pro-
noting the corn show, to be held
there during the present month.
While in some sections of the
county too much corn is grown,
too much cotton is grown in the
vicinity Of Gleason and not
enough corn. We predict the ef-
forts of these generous gentle
men will bear fruit.

WHY is THIS TTIUSLY?

Why should cotton seed sell for
$40 per ton in one market and
s$35 a ton in another? Why not
list cotton seed on our exchanges,
as other commodities are listed,
SO that a stable market can be pro-
vided, and people know what they
are doing? Gambling in cotton
seed issiust as bad as gambling in
any other product, and this
gambling will continue until the
market is stabilized and rendered
uniform. Memphis Scimitar.

WHERE THE INCHES COUNTED
British Statesman's Remarkably Neat
Retort to Chairman's Shaft
Of "Wit."

Lloyd-George's wit on the platform
is well known, but here Is one Of the
neatest retorts he ever made.
He was addressing q meeting in
South Wales. according to Pearson's
Weekly. when the chairman. thinking
to Be witty at the chancellor's expense,
remarked to the audience that he was
a little disappointed in Lloyd-George' e
appearance.
II had heard so much about Mr..
Lloyd-George,' he said. that l nat.
urally expected to meet big man in
every sense; but. as you can see for
yourselves. he is very small In stat.
ure"
Many an orator would have been
grievously upset by such an unfortu-
nate beginning to the proceedings, but
not SO Lloyd-George.
-"I am grieved to find" he said, with
mock seriousness. that your chairman
is disappointed in my size, but this is
owing to the way you have here Of
measuring a man. In North Wales we
measure a man from his chin up but
you evidently measure him from his
chin down."
After that the chairman made no
more personal remarks.
Speak but little and let that little
be the truth,

third century, when Roman perse
cution of the Christians was carried
to extreme violence. Prosecuting Off
cials and mobs. refusing to recognize
the sanctity of the Christian places
Of burial, entered the Catacombs ant
began to deface the chapels, tombi
and sacred decorations. Christians
then destroyed the entrances with
their oratories. their open stairwayi
and their halls for the "agapemone,'
or Christian lovefeasts. filled up the
galleries and made other and secre,
entrances from neighboring sand pits
called "arenarias." Thus they com
pleted the inconceivably intricate and
confusing character of the passages
which has SO strangely furnished q
basis Of operations for military spies
In our day.
During the terrible persecution Of
the Christians under Emperor Dio-
cletian, hundreds of martyrs were
buried in secret here, and the en-
largements necessary were carried on
with the same secrecy. Even after per
secution had ceased under the Emperor
Constantine. burials were commonly
made here because the place had been
rendered sacred by the bones Of the
martyrs. At last these reasons
ceased to appeal to the people, and
the Catacombs were no longer used fol
burials or religious services. For sew
eral centuries in the early middle
ages they were the objects of pilgrim
ages by pious Christians from all
over Europe.
Then came the disastrous invasion
Of Italy by Goths and other Teutonic
barbarians. and by Vandals. Lombards
and Saracens. Once more the cata
combs served . vital purpose to
Rome. The treasures of the city
were in many cases carried here to
save them from the barbarians. The
entrances were once more closed up
and in many cases parts of the gal
leries were filed, In order that the
barbarians might not lay hands on
their sacred relics and treasures and
deface their sacred decorations.
From the invasion Of the saracene
In the tenth century down to the AZ
teenth century the Catacombs were
more or less forgotten by civilization.
but there is no doubt that they served
as refuge for many brigands, rebels
and other turbulent characters. who
preyed upon travellers or fought
against the authorities during the
stormy medieval history of Rome.
During the great Italian Renaissance
they were reopened, and since then
they have been more and more ex.
plored. with wonderfully interesting
results. but even today their full ex.
tent is not known, and the art treas.
ures which they contained have not
all been studied. Perhaps at this
moment some German spy, with his
little electric pocket lamp, his mind
divided between espionage and archie
ology. is gazing with interest upon
the earliest pictures OF the holy apos-
ties which have not yet been seen by
the eyes of the modern ecclesiastic or
archeologist.
