THOSE WHO NEED NO FUEL.

The following is list of people who
should not put in their supply OF fuel for next
winter now. There may be some others
The gentleman who has been informed by
the court that he is to be neatly hanged on
the 23rd Of September
The householder who knows that his
house is going to burn down before October l..
The fellow who has been assured by his
doctor and minister that he will soon be
where the heat is free.
The man who will have his residence
astride of the equator from September until
June
The party who had IL tors OF coal or 20
cords of wood left over from last winter.
The husband who has arranged to spend
the winter with his wife's relations.
The man who belongs to nice warm club
and had decided not to 90 home at all here
after.
Editors who advertise that they are in the
market for spring poetry.
Hardy mariners in training to accompany
Peary on his next dash for the pole.
Persons going to the front and leaving no
one on the rear.
Pessimists desiring something that will
take their minds off their own troubles
Wfe's relations who have arranged to
spend the winter with the husband.
The malefactors of great wealth who ex-
pect by that time to have got what is coming
to them.
Cigarette smokers who smoke around
munition plants.
Persons who are going to spend the WIN
ter in Florida and will, therefore, have moth
ing else to spend.
Automobile drivers who do not stop and
look up and Down the track to see if there is
a train coming.
The manufacturers operating breweries.
But persons other than these we urgently
advise to lay in their supply of fuel because
winter has never yet missed date with the
world and it is always much colder in winter
than in the summer.

The fate Of The CycIops IL shrouded IN
mystery. The vessel left West Indian port
several months ago and has not since been
heard from. II Is said that there wss some
dissatisfaction among the sailors, and when
the vessel was first reported overdue II was
thought that perhaps these sailors had mutt.
MED and, after having secured control oi the
vessel, had changed her course and stecred
her to some European port. Had This been
the case, however, the Cyclops would have
long since been located
Another theory, and one which in these
times when German submarines are so active
was very plausible, was that the Cyclops had
been torpedoed Had this fate overtaken the
collier, however, il is reasonable to suppose
that some Of the wreckage would have been
sighted by the crews Of other vessels, but
nothing Of this kind has been reported.
No one knows what became of the Cy-
clops, and her strange disappearance has
augmented the number of mysteries OF the
sea which have been growing year by year
ever since navigation became science.

TIN CHANGES AT THE c0LLFGE.

The action Of thc board Of trustees having
control over the leading educational institu.
tious Of The state IN refusing 10 re-clcct Mr..
d T. CASTOR as secretary and Capt J. A..
Nelson as proctor at the Industrial Institute
and College is a source Of keen regret to the
friends Of these gentlemen, both Of whom
hove held their positions for many years and
have discharged their duties in faithful and
efficient manner
Mr. Castor is to be succeeded by Mr.. d.
L. Ross, formerly secretary Of the University
OF Mississippi, who in turn is to be succeeded
BY Mr.. T. H. King, Of Okolona while Capt
Nelson is to be succeeded by Rev. James Nc
Caskill, Of this city.
At the close OF the last session President
Whitfield recommended both Mr.. CASTOR and
Capt Nelson for reelection, and when the
tIustees postponed action in the matter
friends OF these gentlemen became suspicious.
Inquiry on the part Of these friends is said to
have developed the fact that Governor Bibo
had devised plan to make certain changes
in the staff Of the college in order to find
places for some Of his friends and support
ers. 1t is said that he was especially anxious
to find lucrative berth for Mr.. King, and
originally planned to have him elected secre-
tary of the local institution; but later decided
to send him to the State University and trans
fer Mr. Ross to Columbus. Mr. McCaskiIl
is also recognized as one OF Bilbos staunch
supporters, and the governor seized the
opportunity which the occasion offered to
place him in lucrative position which would
permit him to continue to maintain his resi-
dence in Columbus
Efficient educators have long deplored the
fact that colleges and universities not only in
Mississippi but in other states are under po-
litical control, and the recent changes in the
staff OF the local institution serve to empha
size the fact that such control should not be
maintained The Commercial has nothing
against either Mr. Ross or Mr. McCaskill
both OF whom will doubtless make good off
cials; but, on the other hand Mr. CASTOR and
Capt Nelson had already established then
worth, and il does not seem right to oust
them merely to crafty the whim of none
too popular politician who happens to hold
the whip hand.

A MONUMENT FOR BURl2OW.

The collier Cycops, which has been miss
ing for several months, has been officially de-
clared lost by the Navy Department, and the
Commercial is impressed with the thought
that some steps ought 10 be taken to honor
the memory OF George w Barrow, the young
Columbian who was member Of the crew.
Young Barrow is the FIRST Columbian to
lose his life at sea since the United States en-
tered the war against Germany, and it seems
but right that his memory should be honored.

How He Lost His Shirts.

The citizens of Martinsville had per-
fected plans for city-wide rummage
sale for the Red Cross and instruc-
tons and notices were posted telling
the citizens that all that they could
contribute should be made into bun
die and left on the front porch.
One of the prominent citizens, who
always wears expensive shirts, forgot
this notice on the morning that the col
lection was to be made and placed his
weekly laundry bundle on the front
steps. Along came the rummage sale
wagon and collected his bundle. The
bundle was taken to the headquarters,
where the articles were priced.
The absent-minded citizen was told
that his nice shirts were on sale and
he hurried to withdraw them, out on
arriving at headquarters found that
all his shirts were being sold for 90
cents.-Indianapolis News.
