TEACHERS MEET
MAY 3, 4, 5,

Jackson, Miss, April 15th.-From
all over Mississippi teachers are
looking to Jackson and planning to
come to the State Teachers Con-
vention which convenes here May 3
4, 5, and 9th. Reports being re-
ceived by the Jackson Chamber OF
Commerce indicate that this is to be
a greater convention than the Missis-
sippi Teachers have ever held. There
are over 5000 teachers in the State
Association and a large percentage
of these will be here.
Practically all of the leading edu-
Gators of the state will take part, in
the meetings, besides a number of
men and women at the head of Ma
tional Education. Among these are,
Miss Charl Williams of Memphis,
President of the National Education
Associa ton, DR.. F. D. Losey of New
York, lecturer and dramatist, Roland
L. Turner of Atlanta, head of the
Agricultural work of the Southern
Railroad, DR.. George F. James. of
Chicago, Secretary of Military Train
ing Camps Association of the United
States, and Henry M Gill, city libra
rian of New Orleans.
A unique feature of the conven-
ton will be big open air reception
given the visitors by the Jackson
Chamber of Commerce. The recep-
ton will be held in Smith Park at
the close of the first general session
of he convention.
In connection with the State Teach
ers Convention, two other State Con-
ventions are scheduled for Jackson
as follows: Conference of Superin-
tendents and Principals MAY 4th,
and the Mississippi Parent Teachers
Association, May 3rd, and 4th.

lose sight of the fact that money viii
also have to be raised by taxation
to maintain the new school, which
adds an additional burden to the
taxpayer of mills, which when add.
ed to the liz mill to retire the $780,
10000 bonds, makes a total of IL
mills the tax payer will have to pay
This is very conservative estimate
and made with the view that people
may know the burden they will have
to assume in addition to the one now
being carried.
To be more specific, if the $780,
10000 bond issue is voted in, can
safely state that the tax levy for the
next years will be 38 mills, that is
38 mills each year for that period
This tax levy will be used to pay the
interest on the bonds, provide a
sinking fund to retire them as thew
mature and to maintain the schools
of Oxford, and the government of
Oxford.
In making this statement I do not
wish to convey the impression that |
am opposed to progress or the up
building of Oxford. But what | do
want understood is that in view of
the fact that we are just emerging
from period of depression it is my
judgment that it is unwise at this
time to issue these bonds.
Respectfully.

MAYOR v. v. ELLIOTT
ISSUES STATEMENT

In order to accomplish this object
! it is necessary to levy upon the prop
erty situated in Oxford a tax for the
year 1922 of 9 mills, and instead of
this levy diminishing during the next
s years it will be increased, for dur
ing the next years i order to re-
tire the bonds the tax levy will in
crease from 9 mills to 10 mills.
And in making this assessment it
becomes my duty to state that the
basis upon which this assessment is
made will not permit of being ex-
tended or raised but on the contrary
will diminish and when this condition
is reached the levy will have to be
raised.
1t can be seen from this statement
just the condition we are in, and it
goes without saying that if at this
election the present indebtedness of
Oxford is increased 100000 it will
be more than difficult to raise the
money by taxation to liquidate the
total Indebtedness, and as result
we will find ourselves in very en-
barrassing situation. We must not

TO THE CITIZENS OF OXFORD,
LAFAYETTE COUNTY, MISS.

In as much as an election will be
held in the city of Oxford on the 9th
inst, to determine whether or not
bonds not to exceed the sum Of $780,
100000 will be issued by the City of
Oxford for the purpose Of erecting a
new school building, and buying the
necessary lands upon which to con-
struct the building, l feel it my duty
as Mayor of Oxford to make a state
ment as to the present indebtedness
Of the City and the tax levy each
year necessary to iquidate this in
debtedness as it natures.
The present indebtedness of Ok
ford is $130,000.00 This indebted
ness is evidenced by bonds of the
City maturing every year for the
next "a years. The law requires that
an interest paying and sinking fund
be accumulated to take care of the
interest when it becomes due and to
retire the bonds as they mature.

STUCK TO HIS RESOLUTION
Story Reveals Firmness of Character
of the Great Japanese Statesman,
Marquis Okuma.

The late Marquis Okuma of ia
pan, while talking with group of
politicians shortly before his death,
was asked by one Of them who, In his
opinion, was the most dreadful man
in the world, and his reply was: Zone
from whom you have received favors.' VI
The great statesman of Waseda,
when young, was never able to excel
in handwriting, try as he might,
though he was remarkably good al
brain work. Ashamed Of this, with
characteristic stubbornness he deter
mined that he would never again take
up a brush to write. Once Keiu

Chinese character 'Shoku.'" The boy
came up to Okuma and did as he was
told. To help him Okuma took out
brush and ink and a sheet Of paper.
and he almost began setting the let
ter down, when he suddenly recol-
lected his resolution.
Immediately he dropped his brush
on the floor, took the boy near the
fire and showed him how to write
the character in the ashes with q
poker.

LITTLE DEMAND FOR SNAKES
Rattlers Now Bring Only Eight Gents
q Pound, According to Dealer
in the ReptiIea

The rattlesnake catchers Of the
Brownsville, Texas, district are going
through a period of severe depression,
as live snakes at present are bringing
only cents a pound, according to Z.
Gilbert Pearson, president Of the Ma
tional Association of Audubon Soci-
cites, who has just returned from the
work of stalking out proposed $780,
000-acre tract in the southern tip Of
Texas as game and bird sanctuary.
The greatest rattlesnake establish
ment In the world is maintained near
Brownsville by dealer named King,
known as "Rattlesnake King" He had
more than 100000 rattlers in stock
during December, Mr.. Pearson said
These are sold to geological gardens,
snake charmers, circuses, naturalists
and snake lovers all over the country,
but the demand has recently become
low. Many Mexicans earn their living
catching rattlers and are glad to get
even cents a pound for them.

The High Cost of Honor.

Nobility orders and badges Of honor
in Germany hitherto, upon the death
Of the owner, have been left as SOU
venirs to his heirs, though only upon
payment to the state of their bullion
value. Now the prime minister an
nounces that because of the increased
value of gold he is compelled, in the
interest of the state, to increase by
100 per cent the prices Of all such
decorations.
1t does not appear that this applies
to the Iron Cross, though it has been
so numerously awarded, one would
think, as materially to affect the sup
ply of that most useful metal.

HERE WITH AFGHAN BEAUTY
Red-Haired Huntress Arrives From
Asia in Company of Retired Brit
isa Army Officer.

When the White Star liner Adri-
attic arrived here recently from tour
Of Mediterranean ports there was on
board one Percival NJ. Fielding, re-
tired army captain Of London, and
TaZidah the beautiful. said a recent
issue of the New York Tribune.
Ii was in the hills OF Afghanistan
that the captain first met TaZidah. She
was chasing a gazelle over the snow
covered hills. Her red hair streamed
behind her in the breeze. Her easy
captain.
Later he came to know her better.
He gave her sweetmeats. From that
time on they were inseparable. Be
fore long it was a common sight at
the inn to see the captain smoking bis
pipe with one hand and stroking Taxi
dah's lovely red hair with the other.
When the captain left the hills Of Az
ghanistan Tazidah went with him.
Tazidah had unusually large feet,
but in her own country no one ever
thought Of them in any other than an
admiring way. They were hunters,
those people, and Tazidah was hunt
ress. Her feet were Of invaluable
service to her in pursuing ga
zelles. Being as they were, big and
fat. they acted as snowshoes. They
had been big from the day of her birth,
and were looked upon by her country
men as a rare inheritance.
TaZidah stood on deck, rejoicing in
the sloppy weather. To be sure, the
snow was more diluted than that to
which She had been accustomed. But
it was snow, and that was the main
thing. She yearned for the sight of a
gaZelle.
Are you going to enter in the dog
show?" some one asked the captain.
81 don't think So" he replied. But
she's a rare dog and fast on her feet.
Eth? Oh, she's an Afghan gazelle
hound"

Gorgeous Turkish Wedding.

A Creosus-like wedding on which
$4,000 was spent was celebrated In
Stambul recently, despite the general
poverty Of the present-day Turks. The
bridegroom, an Albanian Turk, made
a big fortune after the armistice by
selling offal. He hired 43 houses for
the wedding guests, who were enter
tanned sumptuously for a week. A
hundred motorcars and 300 open car
nages followed the brides closed and
curtained carriage to a large school
building, which he had rented and
decorated for extravagant festivities.
Each table provided for 800 guests and
was loaded with Turkish delicacies.
The wedding presents, It Is said, were
worth $4,000.

Poor Roads In Holy Land.

The main roads leading from Jerusa-
lem to Jericho, to Jaffa and Ramaia,
from Haifa to Mount Carmel and MAJ
areth, and from there to Tiberias, are
fairly good when the damages done
to them during the heavy winter rains
have been repaired. General AHenby
built 200 miles Of roads during the
campaign in Palestine against the
Turks, but the upkeep is very costly.
The best material for repairing them
used to come from east of the Jordan,
which is now known as Transjordania,
and is peopled by nice Bedouins who
spend their time watching their wives
work and planning midnight raids
upon the Zionist camps across the
sacred river.
