The Insmore gin Of C. c. Smith
burned Wednesday night, December
22nd, 1920. Bells were rung for as
sistance, but the impromptu firemen
were unable TO queneh the licking
flames, but prevented the sawmill
shed and the detached seedd house
from being destroyed The gin was d
total loss, but covered by insurance.
TO what amount, is not known. No
cotton was on the yards, and no seed
in the seed house. The Insmore gin
for twenty-five years had the reputa-
tion with cost on buyers of making
the best sample Of any gin on the Y.

NEGROES PLAN BUILDING
OF INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

An effort is being made to make Of
the local public school an industrial
school for the race. Since the extens
sion of the school district to embrace
several country schools in the Port
Gibson separate school district this
proposition is made almost necessary
as well as feasible. Considerable cor
respondence has passed between A. M,
Addison, the principal Of the local
school, and the authorities at Jack
son, as well as officials of two funds
which are available for this special
work.
A minimum Of $1,000 has been Of
fered by the state and the supervis-

NATION HAS TURNED
ITS BACK ON PANIC

/ Declaring that the present is no
time for pessimism and that the ma
tion is headed toward better things
and going strong, Robert R. Ellis,
president of the Chamber Of Com
meree, in a statement yesterday an
alyzed the business denrcssion that
has held the south in its grip during
the past six months, and predicted
q bright and prosperous wear in 1921.
Present business conditions leave
much to be. Desired" said Mr.. Ellis.
| Individual trials are numerous, and
some Of them are serious; neverthe-
less, we shall come through tempered
by the white heat Of a COURAGEOUS and
victorious fight. Basiclv. the south
is stronger than it has ever been. Our
people are accustomed to overcoming
obstacles, fo taking hard knocks with
smiling faces; mad THROUGH the di-
versification Of crops, intensified ag-
riculture and stock raising, we shall
liquidate our debts and show a large
earAfar power. The rest Of the world
sneed have no fear concerning the fu-
ture Of the south.
We are passing through a COM
tAA0hAbI ReAiAiA Vi Aitl MOIRl tYUE anu
dehation must take place We cannot
have a money panic ecause of our
marvellous federal reserve system,
tested and proven, and the soundness
Of established American Industries.
Our whole trouble right now is due
to the fact that commodities have not
yet fund their own value level. When
this is done, and rapid progress is
being made, labor can take lis read
justment. Then the public, with re-
newed confidence and with clearer
vision into the future. will resume it's
buying. Factories will open up and
labor will again be rrofitably en-
ployed. This should beein with the
dawn Of the new year.
IF the million bales Of cotton in
the Memphis district had to be sold
at 10 cents pound, $50,000s00e turne,
into this territory would 20 a long
way toward clearing up debts But
cotton is not the only thing that the
south mas, Notwithstanding we pro-
duce go per cent Of the worlds supply
at valuation Of $2,000000,000. This
year we have produced more corn
than we have cotton, and the diversi.
fled agricultural products Of the south
represent three times the value Of our
cotton crop.
",rhe south has mined 10000 600
tons Of coal and 100000 tons Of coke;
eut 10000, 100000 feet Of lumber;pro-
duced 100000 tons Of pig iron and
received S., 100000, 900 for its mineral
products There are more reasons for
hopefulness and optimism. The main
thing that we need right now is for
everybody TO go to work, DO an honest
days work and produce. While you
work, smile, and do business, Go a.

at least the fright and the fear are

Or Negro education in the state writes
that he believes $4,000 or more NAV he
secured from the John F. Slater fund.
There are other funds which can be
interested in the work once it becomes
an established fact.
One Of the requirements IS that at
least ten acres of land be secured for
the purpose Of training the pupils in
the science Of farming.
The Reveille is interested in the
proposition, believing as it does, that
all kinds Of manual training should
be a part of the curriculum of all
schools; and we earnestly hope to
see early developments Of more sub
stantial nature.
