BURSTED BUBBLE.

The soap bubble that Gov. Russell sprrnp about tho
drafts OF the A. & M. College has been completely bursted.
Lawrence and former Presiden w. H. Smith show that if there
is anything wrong, that Gov. Russell was a party to all the
member of the Legislature and as Governor is President of the
Board of Trustees. The Governor went after these former
o1nclais OF the college through the paid auditor, Mr.. Cleaver,
and When his report was submitted it looked as if some of them
were guilty of gross carelessness and intimated more serious
charges. Now comes Mr. Lawrence and President Smith with
their statements and show that if there is a cent missing it must
have gone into the pockets of some one else, and that so far as
the condition of the accounts are concerned, the attention of the
Board of Trustees was called to these and so was the matter
submitted to the Legislature in their annual reports. President
Smith shows that he called attention of Hon. J. S. Howerton,
who was chairman on the Committee on Appropriations of the
take care of the overdrafts. This gentleman, true to form, and to
sustain his reputation as the Watch Dog of the Treasury" told
mend the discharge of a certain member of the College Faculty,
tnat ne would see that he did not get the appropriation. This
unheard of and truly underhand way of getting rid of a faith
tul member or the faculty, President Smith fatty refused to be
a party to, and for this the money that he asked for was not
given. These facts, Governor Russell was perfectly familiar
with, but that he might cast suspicion on those men, he turned
loose his double-barrelled guns on President Smith, Secretary
Lawrence and Vice-President 3. M. Walker. The result is that
the whole thing has reacted, and instead of the men aimed at
by the governor being injured by the explosion, he alone comes
out of the scrap looking like he had been drawn through a
threshing machine.
Tor the two weeks Intervening between the retirement of Presi-
dent Smith and the incoming President Hull, made strenuous
but the Governor declined, stating that he did not have the time
to give him for the conference. Taking the whole matter into
consideration it shows but one thing and that is that Gov. Rus
sell was not so ANXIOUS to get the matter straight before the peO-
pie as he was his political opponents, and that he might sue
coed he sprung the overdrafts before the public.
The News congratulates President Smith, Vice-President
Walker and Secretary Lawrence upon their complete vindica-
ton, and if Gov. Russell is as wise as this paper thinks he is, he
will let the matter drop, and we will go further and say that til is
a safe bet that he will not call the Legislature together to inves-
tigate the matter. 1t is also a safe bet to say that when the
Legislature meets in regular session and the matter is then in
being injured it will show that because of the political Jug

Editor Hattiesburg American,
Hattiesburg, Miss
Dear Sir:
columns an editorial from the Grenada Sentinel in which Presi-
dent Cook of the Normal College is criticised unjustly for an
editorial which recently appeared in the Normal College News.
| wish to call your attention to the fact that the editor of the
Grenada Sentinel and the editor of the Hattiesburg American
knew when this criticism was made that Mr.. Cook was not the
editor of the Normal College News.
They have deliberately misrepresented the facts in the case
in trying to make the public believe that the editorial on Gov
ernor RusselPs speech here at the Normal college was written
or authorized by President Cook.
The names Of the editors of the Normal college News are
published each week at the head of the little paper, and for the
week In which the editorial appeared there were but two editors
named One was J. A. Eckhoff for the students, the other T
2. Scott, for the faculty. The editorial in question was written
by Mr.. Scott, without the knowledge of President Cook or of
any other person.
If you are disposed to be fair in this matter you will either
publish this letter or else make known the essential facts
through your columns so that either censure or credit may rest
where it belongs.
Yours truly,
T. T. SCOTT,
Faculty Editor Normal College News
N. b. President Cook has not discussed this matter with me
and does not know that am writing you concerning it.
Fps.
Possibly We should have scanned the Normal News" to have
ascertained the name of it's editor but we did not But had we
noted the name of Mr.. Scott, we would still have been inclined
to hold Prof. Cook responsible for the article. Mr.. Cook is the
head OF the Normal College and he should see to it that nobody
is placed in a responsible position who does not know at least
partially that about which he writes and who is not discreet
and careful. We did not direct attention to the article in a
personal way, and are really glad that Mr.. Scott says he is the
goat"

The agitating negro can get very little consolation out OF
Senator Harding's statement made at the Oklahoma City falr
grounds last Saturday. Harding said, 81 believe in equality be-
fore the law. You cannot give one right to the white man and
denv the same right to the b%lackman." This is just what every
honest, forward looking white man in the South believes. There
is not a thing new in the doctrine. The negro who has been
carried north to vote can find no comfort in the Senator'S
words if he is thinking of more than Equality before the law

NUMEROUS WAYS
 FOR SERVING
 WATERMELON

Most people think watermelon should be served au natural. but there are many ways of serving this plenti- fu1 fruit and here are few.
 Spiced watermelon is made by heating a pint of logan berry juice with six cloves, one tablespoon of sugar, a stick of cinnamon and thick slice of lemon. Simmer for five minutes, remove from the fire and cool with the spices still in it. Cut the edible chilled pulp of half watermelon into cubes, pour over the spiced fruit juice and set in the ice box for at least six hours and longer if you have tie time. When ready to serve, remove the spices and lemon and place in wide glasses. Pour over the juice and serve.
 Watermelon can be cut in cubes and dusted with powdered sugar. Then pour over white grape juice and serve very cold Water1ne ne1on salad can be made by cutting the melon into cubes, adding chopped cucumbers and served on crisp lettuce. Pour over a. French dressing to which has been added a pinch of curry powder.

LOVING AND NAGGING! DOMESTIC PROBLEM

Why do people who love each other indulge in nagging? Is it symptom of vanished or fading love :? Or( is it a sign of imperfect love :? Whatever it is, it Tears to untold do- mestic discord and unhapiness and is of vast Importance. It is often in dulged in by both husband and wife -more's the pity!
 Thank goodness nagging does not necessarily mean that love is dead or fading. The woman who has nagged her husband until he rushes from the house will be seized with self-reproach and remorse. When he returns she cudd1es and coddles him back to peace and happiness. She doesn't mind any amount of self abasement. When he assures her tits all right and that he ''1oves her just as much as ever," her heart gives a thankful throb and thrill of relief.
 It's the same way with man; when he gets his wife thoroughly upset he's sorry and proves it by kisses, apologies, chocolates, furs or a check. This being true, then why do wives and husbands nag each other?
 The answer is: Love has been hurt; it's there all right, but there has been dissa tisfaction and disillusionment. She put halo on his idolized head and after marriage he took no pains to keep it there. A disillusioned wife is a dissatisfied wife, and nagging is an outlet for her annoyance.
 The disil1usionment is not always on the wife's side. The husband gets his post-marriage shocks, too. He either snaps generally or nags specf- fically. Is there a remedy for this Yes, husbands must remain gods and wives must stay 'goddesses. g Hard work? It surely is but great is the reward. Peace, happiness, no nagging, no disillusionment. Both of you must live up to what you claim to be before you married.

HOW TO CLEAR
 THE COMPLEXION

. For liver spots and to clear the complexion olive oil, taken half an hour before breakfast, is good. Take a teaspoon before breakfast and the same quantity half an hour after the evening meal. The unsweetened juice of lemon in a glass of water every morning before breakfast is also very beneficial Drink plenty of. cool, not iced, water between meals.
 Deep breathing will develop the throat. It is very essential to bathe daily in summer, although three a week will do in winter.
 Moles are dangerous to tamper with, but the electric needle is the most effective way of removing them. Warts are not catching. Here is a recipe for removing them. Take twenty grains of saIicyIic acid, one eighth of an ounce of alcohol and one ounce of flexible col1odian. Ap ply to the hard surface of the wart for three nights, then soak in hot water, when a layer of the skin will come off Repeat until the wart dis appears.

OVERWORKED MEN

Men. who are in good physical con- dition do not feel the strain of daily work. It is those who are under nourished, and allow their blood to get into a thin, devitalized condition that are always tired and consider themselves overworked. It is not the work, but the condition of body, that makes them feel so.

A moment later she stood looking up at my husband challenging1y, her head uptilted, her little body quivering. She had two aspects one, a pleading, Don't hurt me- air; the other, worldly, a gay little air of impotence and indifference as to what the people in her party might think
