Miss Eleanor Johnson of Little Rock, who has been the guest of Miss Nell Thorburn, left this morning for her home.
 Messrs. Geo. and Virgil Alder, Leake township, are spending this af- ternoon in the city attending to busi- ness matters.
 Dr. A. s. Buchanan of this city has received his appointment as health officer for Nevada county for the en- suing year. A list of each county health officer was made public yes terday by Dr. Garrison, head of the State Board of Health.
 A total of eight miles of ditching has been completed by the crew under the direction of Sanitary Engineer Hastings, who is in charge of the anti-malaria survey of the city. The eight miles have cost approximately l $77 per mile. When the work is viewed from the angle of the benefit to the community in the way of in- creasing the healthful conditions. SIT per mile is small sum. Consider how many people there are in each of these miles who would be pestered by mosquitoes all summer, from stag nant holes of water which stand or lots and in ditches because of the lack of drainage. Health or wealth a small amount of your wealth will assure you of the maximum amount of good health.
 Judge A. M. Denman, Dr. c. A. Buchanan, D. L. Dillard, Horace Me Kenzie, Fred Murrah, R. D. Knox, Lee and Tom Gentry composed a party of hunters who went out to the vicinity of Sutton early this morning with pack of dogs to locate a good sized wolf which has been roaming those parts for some time, and so far has escaped capture at the hands of man or beast. The wolf is said to be an exceptionally large one, which is evidenced by the tracks left by the animal in the soft ground The above hunters were forced to return to Prescott empty handed and without any honor. The majority of the dogs gave up the scent after few hours trailing and the others seemed to have been lacking to certain extent in self-confidence, especially when they would come upon one of teh large footprints. Other efforts will be made to bring the heavyweight in, and if necessary more dogs will be imported for that purpose.

the South forced the war upon the
North and had diligently prepared
for it.

The HISTORY OF THE AMERI
CAN PEOPLE.
BY BEARD, and BAGLEY.

We, the "United Confederate Vet
eraas,' the "Sons Of Confederate Vet
erans' and the United Dauhters 0
the Confederacy," Confederated Me
moral Association, de herewith earn
estly express our condemnation O
The History of the American Peo
pie" by Beard and Bagley, and ou
unatterable opposition to it's adoptio,
for use in American schools.
We oppose and condemn this so
called history for many reasons. L
is unfair to the South and in it's ac
counts of the different battles ant
campaigns Of the "War Between the
States,' it magnifes the Northern
forces while it passes over entirely o,
with slight mention the heroes of the
Southern cause, it misrepresents abso.
lutely the causes of that conflict be.
tween the States, it is unfair and
dangerous in its treatment of the Ne.
gro question, it casts slurs on the
Constitution of the United States,
and it is strongly Socialistic and un-
American from beginning to end.
Chas. A. Beard, one of the authors of
this history, is reported to be mem
Der of the Socialist party.
On account of the insdiious manner
in which the entire text is written ex-
cerpts from it give only slight idea
OF its dangerous tendency, yet, as
documentary evidence of the unftness
Of the Beard and Bagly History for
our schools, we submit some verbatim
extracts as follows:
Pages 7172, referring to the settlers
of the First Thirteen American COL
onies, which became the first thirteen
States of our American Union: 1.-TWO
thirds Of thm did not come to America
because they were discontented with
the governments and churches Of Eu-
rope, but because they sought to es-
cape grinding poverty or were sent
here against their will" (As a mat
ter Of fact the prime motive for set
tling most of the American Colonies
were religious or philanthropic.)

that the Southern States were tn
only ones that ever declared for Nul
lification. As a matter of History, ev
cry Northern State except New Jerse,
and California declared at one tim
or another for Modification.
i, 1t should be noted that nowher
does the text tell the pupil that tn
right of secession was approved b!
Constitution itself; nor does it tel
that the Constitution would never
have been adopted had the right o.
secession been denied. The text i:
also silent about the fact that the
right fsecession was approved by
every section of the country-and by
no section more than New England
for many years following the adopt.
ing of the Constitution. These omis.
sions are intentional, for to mention
the facts regarding secession would be
to show the pupil that the South was
contending for its legal rights.
Page 236, referring to the War of
1912, the author says: "Some of the
citizens of New England approached
near to treason in resisting the at
tempts Of the United States to levy
troops there" As matter of His
torical record, many New England
citizens actually had reasonable rela-
tions with and gave aid and comfort
to the enemy during the War of 1912.
Some of the New England States act
ually nullifed Federal laws designed
to carry on the War Of 1912. The
Hartford Convention advocated both
notification and secession. All of
New England at that time believed in
the right Of secession.

such ignorance from writer of his

Page 321 would lead pupils to be-
lieve that, to Robert Dale Owen, an
English Socialist who settled in 1ndi-
ana, is due the credit of founding the
American Public School System.
Page 325, "Tens Of thousands Of
people left Virginia and North Caro-
lima and other Southern States to set
tie in, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. They
were glad to escape from regions
where the non-slave owner was held
in contempt by the aristocracy Of
masters" (This is another attempt to
array class against class.
