TEACHERS SALARIES

Is Columbus meeting the public
school crisis?
American standards are endanger-
ed by the present low salaries of
teachers. Columbus is paying her
elementary school teachers $500 a
year which ranks her 10 among SO
cities of from 5000 to 10000 in the
Southern States. In 1914 the elenien-
tary school teachers Of Columbus re-
ceived but 1921 a year making her in
Icrease during the war period 1888 or
80 per cent. Among the SO cities of
the same district Columbus ranks %
in this respect. The average increase
IA teachers salaries the country over
for this period has been 81 per cent.
The increase in the cost Of living
meanwhile has been 104 per cent 1t
must be remembered, however, that
the salaries Of teachers Of all grades
were very low before the war and the
present increase does not actually
raise the salaries to the average Of
most trades. Columbus elementary
teachers rank IL in this group as re-
CARDS their preparation and IL in
point of experience.
Columbus therefore makes a better
showing than many other cities in
this region but she is not keeping
pace with more progressive cities.
Only by further effort can she i'm
prove her position and become one of
the leading cities. Her relative posi-
tion can readily be forced up or down
by the action of neighboring COM
munities. If they outbid her Colum-
bus will be obliged to accept cmerg-
ency teachers. An energetic. came
paign will quickly Advance her to d
much better strategic position.

campus at the Mississippi College
fer Women, and the enterprising
citizens Of Columbus have ex-
pressed their willingness TO float
a $4,000 bond issue, buy the pro-
perty desired, and trust to the
legislature for reimbursement.
The plan is satisfactory, provid-
ing the property sought to be ae-
quired is worth the money.
However, transactions of this
character always offer opportun-
ity for real estate speculation.
The facts in connection with that
shady deal in Quitman county,
when a tract of land was pur-
chased for a new convict farm,
are still fresh in the public mind.
Before the stamp of approval is
given to the proposed transaction,
all Of its details should be review
ed by the State Bond and Build
ing Commission. If that body
gives approval it is certain that
the legislature will reimburse the
purchase price.
The lawmakers, however, will
not take Governor Russelps UNI
supported word concerning any
business transaction, nor will it
place reliance in any report that
may be made by thu present gen.
eral board of trustees.

ON TOP O, THE WORLD.

In this issue we publish one Of
the most optimistic and most healthy
country letters it has been our pleas
ure to read in a long time.
1t is from the Rural Hill neighbor-
hood and is written in a most optimis-
tic vein, claiming for Rural Hill a
position on the top of the Of the
world.
That's the spirit.
The letter discusses some of the
problems of the community and links
them up with the Chamber of Com
merce which is organized for all of
the people of this entire section.
The Chamber stands ready to hear
suggestions from any community or
Ineighborhood in the county, and will
heartily cooperate with these COM
Imunities in the solution of their prob
lens.
The Dispatch will gladly publish
suggestions from both the city and
county which may lead to a better
ment of conditions here. Begin to
think constructively for this COM
munity, and open discussion and
agitation will bring results.
Let's have more letters like the
Rural Hill communication.

A RIDICULOUS EDITORIAL.

The Jackson Daily News publishes
an editorial to the effect that the peo-
pie Of Columbus expect the Legisla-
ture to re-emburse the city and the
people here for the $4,000 which Col
umbus proposes to give to the col
lege and to the State.
The impression which the editorial
makes is far from correct.
As a matter of fact Columbus is
giving the land to the college with
out any strings whatever. 1t is a free
gift Of the people of Columbus to the
college.
The land will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 and this fund will be
provided by bond issue. Possibly the
News got its reimbursement impress
sion from the publication of the fact
that the citizens Of Columbus have
underwritten the bond issue.
This was done to facilitate matters
for the Bond Improvement Commits
sion, so that it could begin to make
its plans for the college program of
expansion and development. Two
hundred citizens of Columbus readily
agreed to stand for the issue pending
a bond election which will be held at
the earliest possible time.
Columbus met the issue of more
land for the college most cordially
and enthusiastically, and the infer
ence that the people here expect the
Legislature to reimburse them is an
injustice to this city and to this COM
munity.
The editorial in the News follows:
A College Land Deal.

PUT THE MONUMENT IN THE
PARKWAY

In few days the beautiful park
way in Main street between Sixth and
Seventh streets will be completed.
We would suggest this plot as all APP
propriate site for the Confederate
monument Instead of at the inter-
section of Main and Market streets.
There the monument would be sur
rounded with beautiful growing
plants and flowers; it would be in
full view of the business section, and
from this standpoint the parkway
location would be equally as advaa-
tageous. On the other hand, the
monument at Main and Market would
be an obstruction to traffic, for the
congestion there is greater than at
any other point in the city--and as
the city grows the congestion win
naturally increase. Further, it would
be subject to DETACHMENT In many
ways that may not now he anticipated.
Then, too, there would be added i'm
terest to the parkway with the install
lation of the World War relics. With
the handsome Confederate monument
and the relics of the worlds greatest
war, the parkway plot on Main street
would be a treasured and hallowed
spot in Columbus, and would be a
point of interest to visitors and Co
lumbians alike. 1t would be the
pride of the city.

ton to the u. ID. G. Chapter, the good

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other says a wellknown authority
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urin-
airy irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, of if blad-
der bothers you, get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any good pharm-
acy; take a tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast for few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so it no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder dis

and women take now and then to
