DRINKING FOUNTAIN UNVEILED.

IN accordance WITH the program pre-
viously published, Chakchiuma Chapter D.
unvelllng and presentation of the splendid
drinking Fountain to the city, on the Green
wood High School grounds last Thursday
afternoon. The inclement weather pre-
vented many from attending, especially
those from out Of the city.
There was a splendid luncheon served
from 1890 to 1:30 pm. after which the
automobile parade was formed on Market
street headed by the Chief Of Police C. L..
Bonner, followed by the Greenwood Brass
Band. There were a large number of autos
in line, which moved east on Market to
Main, thence to Carrollton Avenue, thence
to Howard, Church to Henderson, thence
to the school grounds.
The ceremonies were begun with a song
by about 500 children Of the Grammar
School, who sang the Star Spangled Ban
ner, showing special and splendid training
in voice and action, much to the credit,
both of the children and their teacher, Miss
Maude Mabry.
DR.. JOS. Rennie, pastor Of the First
Presbyterian church, then invoked the
Divine blessing, at the conclusion Of which
the Fountain was unveiled and Mrs. Monroe
McClurg was presented by Hon. W. M.
Hammer, Master Of Ceremonies, Mrs. Nc

senting, in behalf of Chakchiuma Chapter

Fountain whose stately and massive form
will forever commemorate the discovery of
pure a~rtesian water in the Delta and per-
petuate, In the ages to come, the name of
Charles Edward Wright, one Of our hon
ored citizens, as the man whose enterprise
and initiative gave us the pure water, SO
necessary to the development Of our city,
county and the Delta.
Mayor Ray in response made a splendid
address of acceptance on behalf of the city.
The children then sang Bunker Hill
after which Hon. Alfred H. Stone of Dun
leith, Miss, the orator of the day delivered
an address upon the subject "tArtesian
Water in the Delta" Mr.. Stone denied
that he was an orator and stated that he
would only undertake to give a plain
talk, not combining himself strictly to the
subject. His address was splendidly peril
nent to the occasion, well RECEIVED and lib.
orally applauded.
The children, accompanied by the Band,
then rendered the song "America'' in splen-
did style, which concluded the ceremonies.
The ladies are to be congratulated that
their efforts have been crowned with such
signal success and the city and the schools
that they are the recipients of the splendid
lgift of this drinking fountain.

the acreage Of corn and. other feedstuffs is

motoring was SO great that even its

While the idea Of simplicity has
been followed in arranging and fur
nishing the general offices, no effort
has been spared TO provide every
modern facility for perfect working

The interior finish is in hard wood
old English style. A main staircase,
twenty feet wide. is rubber tiled, as
are the corridors. The offices have
plastic flooring. panelled dadoes and

indirect lighting is employed through

made of reinforced concrete with

end with fire towers. Prism glass is
used in ue windows, affording the
best lighting facilities.
To provide necessary transit be-

plant n system of tunnels and bridges
has been constructed. The main tun-
mel, nearly three hundred feet long,
passes from the present buildings
under the Boston &-Naine railroad
and branches TO the new mill and
warehouse. This tunnel is IS feet
in width. built of reinforced concrete
and equipped with continuous con-
Vcycrs which eliminate trucking.
Many thousands of yards of material
were removed by steam shovels in
constructing the tunnels, which are

columns support the four railroad
tracks where the tunnel crosses.

TO DR.. LONGWELL
Seven of Last Years Men
Out Of Line-Up-Burden
Placed on Longwell

Scarcity of first-class football material
out at Howard college has placed Dir.
]. B. Longwell, the director Of athletics,
IN the position of facing the most dim
cult problem that a Howard coach prob
ably has faced in the last five years, or
since Howard was admitted into the s.
I. A. A. Backers of the Howard squad
say the material for a winning team sim
ply is not there, and that dependence
must be placed in DIR. Longwell, rated as
a coach of exceptional ability
Seven of last years regulars are out
of the lineup, and the new material
showing up is not expected to come any
where near filling the holes. 1t leaves the
burden on DIR. Longwell, and students
and alumni say too much must not be ex-
pected of him, for he has not the men
with which to accomplish the task.
"Dr. Longwell is a wonderful coach.
but he nor any other man can deliver
us winning football team this season,
I am afraid, said DR.. John d. Dick
son, vice president of the Howard Alumni
association. 1--WE old fellows know the
situation, and we are not counting heav-
lily upon this years work. At the same
time, we know that DR.. Longwell can put
Howard at the front within three Or
four years, and we are willing to wait"
Hard workouts face the Howard squad
every afternoon, with signal practice talk
ing a good portion Of the two hours.
There appears to be some good fight in
the squad, but it is too light and too
inexperienced to make a showing In a
season. DR.. Longwell is quoted as say
ing he expects to be able to develop only
three or four first-class men this season,
relying upon next season to produce ma
terial for a good squad.
Gibson, Price, Blackwelder, McNaron
and Clayton look like the regulars in
the backfield, with Clayton running the
team from quarter. He is fast man,
can make the passes well, and will be a
safe man to play in the safety position.
Gibson and Price will have to do the line
smashing, while McNaron and Blackwell
der will have to depend upon broken
field running
Hubert Clayton, brother of Price Clay
ton, and Arthur Duke look like the first
string ends, with Dawson, James and
Jackson making bids. Captain Strickland
will be at center, with more than he has
ever had before. Adams, a new man from
Blount county, will be at one tackle
while the other tackle is open to Pittard
Carlisle Leath and Haynes. Leath and
Pittard may be shifted into guards to
fight with Hibbs. Brock and Williams
Blackwelder will do the punting and
the passing again this season.

Boston began the week with nine

leading as the result of two out of

Chicago took second place as the re-

five points difference between Boston
and Detroit, and the former by de-

The three leaders in the American
league are fighting hard and a COM
parison on the basis of their play dur

an advantage. The Tigers and White

be balanced by the fact that the Red
Sox have more games to play than
the western contenders. One game
Although Brooklyn played little bet

of the Superbas to three points over
Philadelphia and 10 points over Boston.
Brooklyn gained a full game Friday
when the other contenders were idle
by beating Pittsburg.
The Superbas lost to Boston Monday
and on the four succeeding days took
three from Pittsburg. Philadelphia
lost on Monday to New York, making
their fourth straight defeat by the
Giants and then broke even in four
games against ST. Louis. Boston did
better than in the previous week and
after beating Brooklyn. took three out
of four from Chicago. Saturday Phila-

five more games to play than Brooklyn.
