$ ONE OF YOUNGEST
PRINCIPALS S IN COUNTY
F''s Entrance Into Political con+.s.
Today Increases Interest In con;x,
0'mpa'sn-ls South Missssippian
ey Birth and Always Has Lived
Here-Graduated From M. C.

L. G. Hood principal of tho Nrc1au-
TIN consolidated school, one of the
youngest but also one of the most on.
ergetic and successful school princi.
pals in Forrest county, today author
lied The News to announce his candi.
uacy Tor superintendent of education.
His is the first formal announcement
to be made for this position and his
entry into this race means that the
positions of sheriff, the clerkships and
lhe attorneyships are not the only i'm
portant ones over which there will be
warm fight. The young aspirant for
the highest educational position in
the county is unusually popular in this
section where he has been teaching:
is well known throughout the rest of
the county and is sure to poll hand
some vote for the position he seeks.
Mr.. Hood is a South Mississippian
by birth and rearing. He was born
in Marion county, which adjoins what
was then Forrest county but has since
been changed to Perry
Graduated From M. C.
He received the basis for his edu-
cation in the common schools of Mari
on county and followed this with the
full course at Mississippi College, grad
uating from that institution with ex-
cellent grades two years ago Through
himself especially for pedagogical
himself especially for pedagogical
work, and when he announced him
self as a candidate for teachers posi-
tion in this county, he was made prin-
cipal of the McLaurin school.
His record there has been unusual
In its progressiveness and accomplish
ments. When he took charge of the
school, he was the only teacher in it;
the schoolhouse was worse than back
to-date and but thirty-five students at
tended it.
Today about 100 students go there
each day; they receive instruction at
the hand of four teachers and there is
now in process of erection $4,000
school brilding, which, when complet-
ed, will be one Of the handsomest in
the county.
Although Mr. Hood insists that much
of the credit for this growth has been
due to the cooperation of the citizens,
his friends claim that the young prin-
cipal propagated the idea for an ad-
eouate schoolhouse for the McLaurin
school and that the building now In
process Of erection will, in one sense,
stand as a monument to him.
Prof. Hood is Mason and a Wood
man. He says he is in the race early |
because he is going in to win, and his |
friends say his opponents will have to
fight hard to keep him out of the su-
perintendent's office.

THE PRICE OF A SOUL

General Francis Greene of the
United States army, in an address on
the European wa before the New
York Historical association, estimat-
ed the number of men killed at 1000
900, the wounded at 100000, the
missing at 2,3o5, 900. and the total
casualties at 10000. General
Greene divided the total losses as fol
lows: France, 10000 Great Brit
ain, $4,000; Russia, 2,20O,000; Italy,
$4,000; Belgium, $4,000; Servia, TO-
600; total losses, 100000. The
losses of the Teuton allies were esti-
mated at 3,S30,OOO, of which Ger
many's loss is placed at 100000;
Austria, 100000; Turkey, 10000
These figures are considered very
conservative. As yet no nation has
made any material gain in the conflict
and the war bids fair to end in q
draw, with the flower of the manhood
of Europe buried in one immense
graveyard, and the nations facing
bankruptcy.
Was the life of an Austrian grand
duke worth this sacrifice?

WHAT'S THE ECRET

baltimore Sun, October 4, 1881
Almost every convention that IS
held these days indorses President
Wilson's foreign policy and expresses
confidence in his patriotism and abll-
ity. One day it is a farmers con-
gress, another day the Grand Army
veterans, another-wonder OF Won
ders-a Republican gubernatoriai
nominee in the state Of Senator Lodge
and the Pilgrim Fathers. Former,
Congressman Mccall in accepting the
Republican nomination for governor
from the state convention OF his par
ty jumped over all division fence III
declaring: "The momentous questions
growing out Ct our relations with the
warning nations of Europe make an
appeal which obliterates party lines.
The president is the appointed spokes-
man OF the nation. He knows facts
which we do not know, and upon any
question affecting the honor OF the
nation in the eyes OF the world, and
in the assertion Of the rights OF its
citizens, he should nave the whole
nation behind him, regardless OF pa
ty lines"
Such increasing evidences OF ma
tional perverseness and "idiotcy
must be very discouraging to those
who have been engaged in the effort
10 discredit the president. Instead
of shaking public confidence in nlm,
everybody worth talking about insists
on getting behind him. What is the
secret of Wilson's appeal? Few Of us
believe him to be infallible,' but most
OF us are more than willing to trust
him. Perhaps the reason is to be
found in the mans absolute sincerity,
mis- unpolluted honesty. A statesman
who has the moral courage to get
down on his knees and lead his cab
met in prayer is a political phenom-
enon. Fancy the British prime min
lister doing that, or the German chan
ScllOI. w dSllllAStOA was "
to pray during great c~risises OF the
Revolution, it is said, though that did
not keep him from swearing when
strong words OF exhortation seemed
needed by his subordinates; but II
Mr.. Wilson got his cabinet to jo.l
him in prayer we public questions,
he mas done something new to mod
ern craftsmanship. The old Jewish
prophets and leaders did not disdatn
to call upo the Lord for help on all
occasions, but the custom as a feat
ure of public administration has been
more honored in the breach than il
the observance i'll recent times. Crom-
well had a way OF doing something
OF this sort and he vas a mighty bad
man to fool with.
Possibly the reason men are get
ting behind Wilson is because the
Lord has gotten behind him and in
dorscd him, and is working with him,
and not with Emperor William, King
George or the Car OF Russia. What
ever the cause, this praying president
is receiving support from most unex-
pected quarters. Perhaps prayer IS
not such a bad thing after all, no mat
ter what the scoffers and scientific
skeptics may sly.
