to Hattiesburg yesterday afternoon a
short time after the announcement
of the strikes end was made in Gulf
port. A strike extra was issued by
The News, and the great interest
shown in the controversy was evil
denced by the fact that until late in
the night, newsboys remained on the
streets selling their papers almost by
the wholesale.
The first information of the agree
ment to reach the hundreds of passen-
gers on the north and southbound Gulf
& Ship Island passenger trains from
Jackson and Gulfport, was obtained
from The News strike extra. The
news butchers on the two trains did
a land office business in selling these
papers.

It was as follows:
Sheriff A. e. HARRISON,
Hattiesburg, Miss:

l desire to congratulate you upon
the splendid and successful manner
in which you handled the recent strike

Railroad in your county and in the

is so stated in section 2 of the law
creating the college. Section 16 of
the same law specifically states that
each student of the college shall give
a written pledge to teach for at least
three years in the public schools of
the state, two years of which shall be
in the rural schools of the county in
which the student resides.
! This law would be inconsistent with
| the general statute that provides only
common school education as a re-
quisite for teaching. An applicant
for a first grade license is examined
only in the common school branches
and needs no high school education
to enable him to pass this examina-
ton. This new law, if enacted, would

may teach the remainder of your life
without extending your education be-
yond the common school require
ments, but if you wish to learn how
to teach. you must first go to a high
school two years before you can even
! begin on your teachers course"
This law would tend to discourage
a large majority of those who are to
teach our rural schools from making
any attempt to secure the benefit OF
the Normal College. 1t would put a
premium on ignorance and inefficien-
cy among the very teachers whom the
Normal College was intended to help
1t would doom to continued ignorance

and other adverse conditions will not

Bishop also extended congratulations
to the men.
Alexander Currie, the county attor-
ney, congratulated the men on their
conduct during the strike. He said
tnat he believed that the trainmen
lad the esteem of the entire county.
He said that public sentiment was
with the strikers and that this was
the main reason why they came out
victorious.
A committee was appointed by
Chairman Robinson to draw up reso-
buttons of thanks to the friends of
the strikers for the assistance given
them in their fight. The resolutions
are as follows:

irritation as long as they remain. We
