them let us compel them to go to
school!
One Of the speakears told us that
the state of Washington was spend
ing $32 per child per year for edu-
cation and Mississippi was spending
only 81. And Mr.. Brady said be-
cauEe of that fact the state Of Wash
ington would dominate the state Of
Mississippi after a while. Now they
did not tell us that the population
of that state is composed mostly of
outlandish people who have come
from every nation and cline under
the sun and who have all kinds OF
ideas and isms and schisms antagon-
istic and destructive to American
ideals of government and living.
My great, great grand-sire was
with the Swamp Fox" in the Caro-
Iinas during the Revolutionary War
and was in at Corvallis winding
up at Yorktown. His son was one
of the few who escaped in the mass
acre at Fort Mimms and was with
"Old Hickory" in his Indian Wars
and saw Packingham shot off his
horse at New Orleans. His son was
with the Mississippians who made II
hot for Santa Anna and his greasers
in Mexico. And my father fought
and bled with Joe Johnson for prin-
honor him for it), but 1t was decid-
ed other wise by the arbitrament Of
arms which he accepted gracefully.
Now these were of and among other
brave men who fought our wars and
the wolves in the wilderness and
raised large families and made our
nation what we are. These men
were our sires and grandsires and it
rankles to think that my children
and your children will be domineer--
ed over by people to whom the names
of Washington, Lincoln and Lee are
meaningless. And who are under
the law as good Americans as we
are?
What shall we do? Educate and
educate and educate! And how can
we educate without teachers? Our
best ones are leaving the school
rooms. / don't blame them. They've
got to live. Our young and inexper-
fenced and embryonic ones cannot
hope to prepare and advance much
higher than the eighth grade on ac-
count of lack of funds and the high
cost of living and necessary expen-
ses. But we have got to have teach
ers and better teachers.
And do not favor making such
great discrepancies between the sal
aries of superintendents of our
schools in our cities and the teach
ers-the workers-under them. Nor
do l favor our County Superintend-
ents making such great differences in
the salaries OF principals and their
assistants in our rural schools when
they hold the same grade licenses
and are just as capable. So let Us
pay our teachers better salaries. Let
rs have betten schools. And let's
quit heaping up debts for children
and grandchildren to pay.

Concrete Laying Begins,

Concrete laying on the Rising
Sun-Porters Bridge State road,
which will extend through town,
began on Tuesday morning, but as a
flue in the boiler of the mixing ma
chine blew out shortly after one
o'clock in the afternoon only about
fifty feet were laid, from the end OF
the macadam road east of town.
The concrete mixer broke down
again on Wednesday morning, SO
that the total of two days laying OF
cement was less than 100 feet.
The intention is to lay the section
through town first. The steam
shovel has reached the farm Oh
Woodrow & James, west of Harris
vile, and will probably finish the
excavation work in another week.

Pennsylvania's New Auto Law.

Under the new auto law govern
ing the sale of secondhand automo-
biles in Pennsylvania, it will be next
to impossible to sell stolen car and
should greatly reduce the number of
thefts. Under penalty Of $500 fine
or imprisonment, anyone disposing
of used car must give with it a sort
of deed giving all details of the ma
chine it's former owner, alterations,
etc. made, and file same with county
officials where it will be available
for inspection. Owners Of garages
and repair shops are required to
enter full details concerning every
car admitted for storage, or the full
extent of repairs or alterations,
changes of body, or paint, etc., maxi
ing it practically impossible to
change car beyond recognition.
How it will result in curtailing
thefts remains to be seen, but should
be at least great help.

The interior of the building and
stock were completely ruined, caus-
ing a loss that will reach $4,000,
but by heroic work the firemen pre-
vented the spread of the flames, the
building being located in the. heart
of the business section of Oxford.
Young Hall had coaxed his en-
ployer to order rife for him, agree
ing to pay for it before he was to

was arrested and confessed his
crime, stating he had gone to the
movies Thursday evening with a
number of boys and had told them
that he was going to get the gun

stole the rifle and poured oil on the
floor of the office and set fire to it.

rifle the boys went down the alley to

they went to their homes and Hall
was sound asleep when the officer
went to arrest him.

Andrews and A. e. Townsend, went
to West Chester to intercede for the
boys, and were successful in keeping
them from being sent to some of the
reformatories which do not bear as
good a name as Huntingdon.
