:. Waterloo Times Tribune: IT is high
time that the miners and the operators
were made aware of the power and in
terest of the public in their affairs. The
public should be in the mod of a show
down with both sides. All industry
every home, is seriously interested in
coal at fair price. The public can
stand a little inconvenience rather
than submit to three year contract
that will mean advanced prices. In,
dications are that the public will fight,
instead of submitting to being held up
by either side or both. Both miners
and operators hope that by freezing
the public and injuring industry they
can force their demands.

COLDSTEIN RESIGNS
 POSITION IN BANK
CASHIER LEE COUNTY NATION AL BANK WILL GO TO CHICAGO TO ENTER MANUFACTURING BUSINESS

Sig Goldstein. the popular and ef- ficient cashier of the Lee County National Bank. announced yesterday he had rendered his resignation to the board of directors of the bank, to take effect April l, and that he and his wife intend to return to the.r former home in Chicago where MT. Goldstein will become associated with his brother-in-law, s. Scheyer, in the clothing manufacturing busi. ness. MT. Goldstein has sold his residence on East Main street to c. N. Houck, secretary of the Miller Lumber Company, and ex- poets to dispose Of his household ef- fects in the next ten days.
 Mir. Goldstein came to Marianna from Chicago eleven years ago and accepted a position as assistant cash fer of the old Lee County Bank. Three years ago when the bank was reorganized and nationalized MT. Goldstein was made cashier of the institution, which position he has most acceptably filled since that time. His decision to sever his connection with the bank here and return to Chicago is due largely to the fact that his only daughter, Mrs. Reitler, resides in Chicago. and he and his wife want to be near her. As business man and all-round live-wire citizen MT. Goldstein stands in the front ranks. He has been prominent ly identified with all the progressive movements calculated to promote the interests of Marianna and has been a liberal contributor in time and means to all worthy causes. Mrs. Goldstein, his talented wife, has been active in civic and social clubs in Marianna and has launched many movements to improve conditions. At present she is employed as prin- cipal of the grammar grades in the public schools. The announcement that this splendid couple is to leave Marianne will cause much regret among their scores of friends and ad- mirers.

PRESENT RIVER RISE
 DOESN'T MEAN FLOOD
COL. EMERY SAYS IT WILL REACH THIRTY FEET-REPoRT FROM UP RIVER CITIES SHOWS RAPID RISE THERE.

Memphis. March ,13-With the Mis- sissippi river rising rapidly at all points from Kansas City to vocksburg Miss. Col. s. c. Emery, local weather observer, set at rest yesterday fears of river men that the present rise would develop into a flood stage. He declared the river will rise until the middle of next week to an approxi- mate height of 30 feet.
 The stage yesterday at Memphis read 21 feet, a rise of 1.3 feet since observations taken the day before. Kansas City reports rise Of three tenths of foot, Cairo rise of IT feet and New Madrid, Mo, a rise or 14 feet.
 Thirty feet of water at Memphis would only equal the maximum stage last spring, when it reached 30.S feet on March l. Last year was the first year the city has escaped an unusual lv high stage in some time. Levees in the local district are built to stand as high as A feet on the Memphis gauge and as a result of an unusual ly warm winter over the Mississippi river watershed there is little ice and snow to melt and create a rise.
 According to Col. Emery there are no present indications of a danger flood unless generally heavy rains set in over the shed or heavy thunder storms occur. Wednesdays reports to the local bureau showed practically no rain in this district.

PRAISES WORK OF
 THE COLORED SCHOOL
REV. JNO. A. WOMACk, PASTOR FIRST METHODIST CHURCH, IMPRESSED WITH SPLENDID PROGRESS OF INSTITUTION.

Rev Jno. A. Womack, pastor of the First Methodist Church of this city, visited the colored schools here one day last week and was so favorably impressed with the work being done that he gave the Courier-lndex the following statement:
 "One day last week it was my pleasure to look in for few hours on the work done in the colored schools of Marianna. We were there by request of the principal, Prof. D. w. Hughes, and with us were two members of the school board, super intendent of city schools, county superintendent, and three pastors from the town.
 Some time was spent In looking over the work in the various grades but extra time was given to the in dustrial features of the school.
 Tn some of the grades-second and eighth for instance--we found quite a congested condition; two and four pupils occupying the same seats where one and two are re spectively provided for. Our minds went back a quarters of a century ago in our own rural community when similar conditions existed.
 But even with these conditions existing, we were struck with the order maintained, and with the pre- cision manifest in assembling the student body for the program of the day.
 Personally the most enjoyable feature of the day was luncheon served by the domestic science class It was spread fit for king. "The colored schools of Mariannf have been receiving benefits from the Slater Fund, given through ar organization the president of whicf is Dr. James H. Dilard of Charlotts vile, Virginia. The appropriation fol the last four years has been two thousand dollars, coming in install ments This money is well placed and double that amount could bt spent since it is used in the indus trial training of the very ones wh' are by nature fitted for this kind O. labor. The better training these people receive in this line, th' easier the solution for the rising generation.
 Prof. Hughes has been called tt Nashville the coming week by Dr billiard to meet with representatives L from other localities who are th' beneficiaries of the same fund. is to be hoped that he may be able to receive additional funds iron | the organization as a means of en | larging the work begun
