METHODIST SCHOOL
SOUGHT BY NEWTON
DR.. Cooper Praises Town as Lo-
cation for Proposed In
stitution.

Newton, Miss, May 31.-A repre-
sentative gathering of the citizens Of
Newton was held in the Methodist
church here Monday to confer with
DR.. l. w. Cooper, chairman of the
COMMITTEES appointed by the Missis-
sippi Conference of the M. e. Church,
South, to seek a location for the
training school to be located in the
state by the conference.
The meeting was called to order
by President w. d. Lowe of the New
ton Chamber of Commerce, and after
prayer by Rev. l.. e. Afford, Mayor
G. w. Walton made an appropriate
talk, in which he said the people
here wanted the institution and they
were going to make the committee
believe this was the best place for it.
DR.. Cooper was then called on and
stated that the idea was to establish
thorough training school with ade-
quate buildings and the best of
teachers in charge. and the town Sc
lected for the institution could count
on getting the very best, something
that would be a credit to the town
and state. DR.. Cooper declared he
believed Newton was the best town
morally in the state of Mississippi.
He further said that we had pure
air, good water, a nne light plant,
and he did not believe the school
could be located In more desirable
place.
DR.. Cooper said the board OF edu-
cation, which met in Meridian re-
Gently, and Of which he is chairman,
had nothing to do with the location,
it being in the hands Of committee
of which he is also chairman, this
committee having been appointed
some time ago by the conference.
There was nothing in the report, he
declared, that action would be taken
at Hattiesburg in August, as report
ed following the Meridian meeting.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one and everyone here seemed to be
willing to put forth every effort to
get the school. The committee, of
which Presiding Elder John A. Moore
of this place is a member. probably
will get together between now and
November, when conference meets,
to decide the matter, It may do this
at an early date, as soon as all con-
testants Tor the school have sent in
bids.

An Ode To The Girls.
(By One Of the Boys.)

Little girl, you are so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no shimmy shirt,
Don't you wear no petit skirt?
Just your corset and your hose
Are these all your underclothes?
Little girl, you look so slight
When l see you in the light.
With your skirts cut rather high,
Won't you catch cold and dieT
Aren't you fraid to show your calf?
1t must make the fellows laugh.
Little girl, what is the cause?
Don't you wear no undervest
Why your clothes all made of gauze
When you go out fully dressed?
Do you like those peek-a-boos,
Stead of normal underclothes?
Little girl, your 'spenders show,
When the sunshine plays just so.
can see your tinted flesh,
Thru your thinnest gown of mesh,
Is it modest, do you s'pose,
Not to wear no .underclQthes?
! can see way past your throat
To region most remote;
'Taint Eay fault. now, don't suppose,
Why not wear some underclothes?
Z Little girl. your socks have shoals
OF those tiny little holes;
Why you want to show your limbl
do not know; is it a whim?
Do you want to catch the eye
OF the fellow passing byP
Little girl, where is your charm
In your long uncovered arm?
And the "V" behind you neck
Is it for the birds to peck2
Little girl, tell you those
Are not nice as underclothes.
Little girl, now listen here,
You would be Just twice as dear
If you'd cover up your charms
Neck, back, legs and both your arms
would take you to some shows,
II you'd wear some underclothes;
But no lover-goodnes knows
Want a girl who's without those.
Little girl. your mystery.
Loving charms and modesty,
Are whst makes US fellows keen
To possess little queen.

CHIEF CASE SENDS ANSWER.
In answer to the inquiry letter ex-
pressing doubt as to the truthfulness
of some of the article, Mr.. Case yes
terday mailed the following:
Mr.. William c. Bell,
Chief of Police,
Municipal Building,
Auburn, N. Y.
My Dear SIR
am very much obliged to you for
the clipping accompanying your let
ter relative to the dramatic and
startling adventures of under sheriff
Walker in the wild and woolly South
And in the outset, we are reminded
of two men in this State, one frSm
Vicksburg and the other from Jack
son, The Jackson man made the
statement that, if Jackson were on
the Mississippi river and had the
water that Vicksburg had, it would
be the greatest town in the South.
The Vicksburg man remarked that
If the Jackson man would put a pipe
from Jackson to Vicksburg and into
the river, then suck as hard as he
was blowing, that he'd have all the
water in the river in less than thirty
minutes! If under sheriff Walk1f,
whom we anticipate will before long
be seeking promotion. pays his press
agent what he deserves, then we
might say that Auburn had the high
est paid press agent in the country!
We are unable to affirm or deny
the statements as to whether or not
Minor had wife in Auburn, or as
to what the Auburn wife said that
her Attorney told her, or as to how
many lies Minor had told. We do
not know when the under sheriff left
Auburn, when he reached Hatties-
burg, nor what he ''snatched" to
eat on his way to see the Chief of
Police. We will say, however, if
he "snatched" as much to eat in
Hattiesburg, as he did here when he
was eating dinner at our expense,
that he is some "snatcher!" We do
not know whether the Chief of Po-
lice of Hattiesburg had been too
busy" to hunt up Minor or not, and
we hold no brief for him, but the
statement that "the Auburn sleuth
got on the trail right away" and
the amazing mass of facts that he
learned in so short a space of time,
without ANY assistance, calls to-
mind Mark Twain's detective with
the bloodhound scent, and we COM
mend this modern Sherlock Holmes
to the good people of Cayuga coun-
ty.
We are glad that the under sher-
iff saw something good along the
road from Hattiesburg to Brookha-
ven. He brags on the moonshine.
From our observation, we think he
bad seen plenty of it.
Doubtless, Mr.. Walker did see
mules, cows, and, perhaps, some ra-
zorback hogs along road 80 miles
long. We yet have few razorback
hogs in Mississippi, but, if he had
been hunting hogs and had wanted
to see some real class In that line,
we could have shown him the best
Duroc Jersey hog in the world, own
ed by Mr.. Hugh L. White, of Colum-
bia, Miss, and obtained for the in
significant sum of $32,0OO.00. Mr..
Walker regrets the fact that he saw
no white men on his trip through

FLORALA WILL BE
HERE ON SATURDAY
Has Good Bunch of Players-Gams
Saturday and Double Header Sunday

F1orala will have a strong team here
Saturday and Sunday to meet the local
bunch Of players, II reports from the
Alabama city are correct.
The team to be sent here hasn't lost
game this season, andWhey promise
that they will make every attempt to
keep UP the reputation.
Unless the cooperation and support
OF the local fans is given the home
team baseball will likely be on the
wane in Pensacola, tor the club is under
great expense, and when handful of
fans show up at the park to the games
1t Is not only discouraging to the man
agement, but to the players as well.
Ross Helms, who is we'll and favor
ably known ehere, will pitch for Flor
ala on Saturday. Ross is also mana
ger for the club On Sunday Ed Whit
ley will pitch the double header. Ed
hasn't lost q game this season, and
declares he can go through the two
games.
Manager Holtzclaw of the Pensacola
Electric company, has promised to ex-
tend the track OF the street car line
to the park just as soon as possible,
and to put on Commute schedule.
He also states that there will be suf-
ficient cars at the park at the end of
the game to bring the crowds back.
The material for this extension1is al
ready on the ground.
There will be ladies' days held ev-
cry week when the club has games
three days, the Friday game being des-
ignated as ladies' day when the women
will be admitted free.
Additional stock will be offered for
this seasons games, and stock will also
be offered for the next seasons actiy-
tiles. A strong effort will be made to
get into organized baseball, and the
indications are that Glass G or Class
p ball will be played here in the league
to be composed OF the cities Of Sa-
vannah, Pensacola, Montgomery, Ma
con, Jacksonville and Columbus. The
civic committee Of the Chamber of
Commerce will aid in the formation
OF this association, and will handle the
local end OF 1t, in connection with the
Baseball Association. 1t is-expected
that this will be certainty. Pensa-
cola started out too late, and on the
wrong track, for this season, and CO.
operation is needed even now to guar
antee success in the new venture.
Some stock for the remainder of
the season will be offered. For a $50
share. man will be given passes to
20 games; for $40 stock, it will be put
at par with the $50 blocks, and admis-
slons to all games will be given. For
each $40 'of stock. admission to a dozen
games will be presented to the holder
thereof.
