Some Of you were fooled BY the same
plea six years ago when We predicted

But some will say you have said
nothing Of the division Of the Road

TO THE SCHOOL PATRONS

Do you realize how important the School Tea
cheers of the State are to you and your children?
Do you appreciate the fact that the future vel
fare of your children as coming citizens, charged
with the responsibility of public affairs, rests
largely with the Teachers?
Now, unless the salaries and general living
conditions of the Teachers of the State are mat
erially improved, and that very soon, we are go
ing to lose great numbers of them-who are go
ing to seek other lines of employment.
This would greatly impair our entire school
system in the State.
It is, therefore, up to you as school patrons to
get behind the movement for the improvement of
the condition of the Teachers.
Urge the Teachers to join the State Teachers
Association and send in their dues of $1.OO to Prof.
H. L. McClesky, Hattiesburg, Miss. at once.
They need a strong organization to look after
their welfare and press their claims for bet6 y
ing conditions.
AS many as can should attend the great State
Teachers Convention at Jackson, from May 6-8,-
but whether or not they attend the convention
all Teachers should be affiliated with the State
Teachers Association.
Urge them to act in the matter.

Fly time is here. That is, time to "swat the
fly For one swat at this season is as good as
millions of swats later. A few flies winter over
in the adult stage land it is from these that the
hosts of the summer time come. The rapidity
with which flies multiply is past comprehension.
DIR. L.. o. Howard, of the United States Dept. of
Agriculture, has compiled figures to show that the
progeny of a single female fly, if none were killed,
would be numerous enough at the end of six mon
tbs to reach $50 times around the earth if plac-
ed end to end.
A single female fly may lay 120 eggs April Is.
Adult flies issue from these eggs May l., one-half
being females. Each of these 60 females will lay
12 eggs May 10. May %, 1900 flies are Matched,
5000 being females. These each lay 100 eggs
June 8. June 20, 432,0O0 flies are Matched, ZIG,
900 being females. June 80 these female lay 100
eggs each; July 10, 25;920,OOO flies hatch out, II,

crease will have reached the enormous total of 5,
500, 72O, 900, 900 Matched out at once.

bonus, under the Letters to the Editor One
doughboy wrote that che fought two years for

wrote that he fought two years to make the
world safe for democracy and made it safe for the
profiteers." But the vast majority of them were
heartily in favor of a cash bonus, not as a donation
but as a matter of right. They came home and
found that their fellow workmen had been receiv-
ing enormous wages and salaries from the govern
ment, while they risked their lives and only re-
ceived thirty odd dollars a month, and now they
think the government ought to even matters up
One of the most heartless remarks we have ever
heard of was told a few days since. Some labor
es at the Pascagoula ship yards during the wal

LOCAL RAILROAD
UNIONS To VOTE
ON WAGE AWARD

The local railroad unions have
received advice from their general
Chairmen following their recent
meeting in Chicago asking them to
take a referendum vote on the re-
cent wage award and suggesting
that they vote to accept the in
crease given by the board, under
protest.
w. S. Patterson. secretary of
the machinists' union, stated last
night that the vote would be taken
as soon as practicable, possibly
within the next thirty days, by
mail. He believes that a majority
will vote for acceptance under
protest. If living costs continue
to decline the matter will not will
be brought up again, but If another
rise comes he predicts that the
question Of a further raise will be
brought up again.
The award provides for back pay
from May l and the increases VIII
be put into effect within a few
DAYS. A majority of the men here
have already expressed their sat
isfaction with the award. A few
men of long experience in their
trades expected greater Increase
but apprentices, helpers and office
clerks feel that the Increase given
was a fair one.
The vote will be taken by each
local organization. Mr., Patterson
last night expressed his satisfac-
ton over the settlement by the
hoard of the wage question and
that strikes had thus been aVerted.

que after an absence of five
months in Central and South
America.
Professor Jones was caught in
the midst of the recent revolution
in Guatemala and might have been
in a serious situation but for the
fact that he happily fell in with Il
small command of marines en-
route to Guatemala City He ac-
cOmpanied them and they arrived
at the city to find 1t in great up
roar and under bombardment from
three forts They took refuge in
the American legation, which, be-
ing across the street from the rev.
dictionary headquarters, came IN
for a good share of the Smelling,
The legation was struck several
times, but no one was injured
During the street fighting which
lasted five days several hundred
Guatcmalans and three Americans
were killed. Although the revolu-
tionists were armed only with clubs
and stones. they successfully un-
seated President Cabrera.
After being delayed thirty days
by the revolution, Professor Jones
continued his trip down the Pa
cific coast to Panama and Colom'
bia.

PLAN SYSTEM Of
STORM SEWERS
FOR DRAINAGE

Plans and specifications have
been completed by the city engi-
neer providing for a system of
storm sewers which will drain the
area bounded by Mountain road
on the North. First street on the
east Coal avenue on the south and
Fourteenth street on the west.
As much Of the sewer as it was
necessary to lay in advance of new
paving has been completed, and
all arrangements have been made
for a speedy completion Of the en-
tire system. The city purposes to
nav for the sewer by assessing all
property in the district served. The
out 1T win be of 36-inch pipe and
will empty into the Rio Grande.
1t has been estimated that the
system will cost $4,000. When
completed it will clear all streets
of flood waters within thirty min
utes after the cessation of rain.
This will prove a great benefit
from the standpoint of health, as
there will be no drain water stand
ing along the curb lima for any
extended period of time. The con-
struCtion Of this system was nee
essary because Of the fact that the
sanitary sewer was not of suffi-
cient capacity to handle the extra
load
