NEWS AND VIEWS
The
STATE CAPITAL
BY F. r. Birdsall
BY F. r. Birdsan

The State Teachers Association
elected DR.. J. w. Provine, president Of
the Mississippi college at Clinton,
president and Professor ]. s. Vandi-
yer, president OF the Sunflower county
agricultural high school, as vice presi.
dent. Both are well known educators.
Contrary to expectations, there are
more candidates for judges and chan
cellors throughout the state than was
anticipated. The legislature left the
salary of both judges and chancellors
at $4,000. There are II circuit judges
and IL chancellors, all of whom must
be nominated in the August primaries,
and in some of the districts there are
several candidates, including the In
cumbents, and the indications point to
the fact that every incumbent may
have an opponent.
The Kinds county board of super
visOrs did not hesitate a moment
when they met in Jackson to appro-
pirate $1,000 to aid in the construction
of the hospital for the old soldiers at
BeauvOir. They responded instantly to
the request of the Daughters of the
Confederacy and the Sons of Veterans,
who appeared before that body. Word
reaches Jackson that a great many
boards of supervisors have made like
appropriations, and that the board in
Harrison county made the appropria-
ton before the committee arrived and
notified them of the fact, when they
asked for a hearing.
The distressing news is brought to
the capital city by farmers from the
surrounding country that the cold and
rainy weather during the latter part
of April and the first of May, did con-
siderable damage to cotton, in some
localities giving it "sore shank" The
apprehension is expressed that cut
worms may do considerable damage to
corn, having already made their ap-
pearance in some sections. 1t is gen
orally agreed that the unfavorable
weather has delayed farming opera.
tions for at least two weeks.
Announcements have been received
by leading citizens of the capital, in.
Guiding bankers, and members of the
constitutional convention, of the gold
en- wedding of Isaiah T. Montgomery,
and many good wishes have gone to
hSn from his white friends here and
elsewhere throughout Mississippi.
Montgomery was the slave and private
secretary Of Jefferson Davis. He was
the only negro in the constitutional
convention of Mississippi of 1895, and
signed the organic law. He is the
founder of Mound Bayou, exclusively
populated by colored people.
School teachers who enjoyed their |
visit to the capital city, their being |
several thousand present, at the state |
teachers convention, are expressing |
qualification over the fact that the re- |
cent legislature passed bill authoriz- |
ing boards OF supervisors of the so |
counties OF Mississippi to borrow |
money to pay school teachers where |
ever there was a deficiency in the |
school fund until tax collecting time,
throughout the state. Like authority |
is granted boards Of supervisors to

EVANGELIST BODA
ROUSES HEARERS At
BAPTIST REVIVAL

The test service in the series OF
eyangelistic meetings being held at
the College Avenue Baptist Church
was held last night. The whole
hearted spirited singing and a choir
twice as large as that OF the previous
night made up for the smaller at
tundance due to the threatening wea-
Their.
Evangelist Boda gave fine
sermon on "Dlscipleship." The text
was from Luke, 1923: "Whosoever
doth not bear his cross and come ant
or me cannot be my disciple. Who
soever he be OF you that renounceih
not all that he hath, he cannot be
my disciple"
The conditions of disciples as laid
down Iy the Master were pointed out
most clearly and forcibly. Christ did
not accept disciples who enrolled
themselves as his followers, and then
lived without regard 10 his service.
The evangelist pointed out that the
first demand was: supreme devo-
ton to Christ; father and mother
brothers and sisters. wife or husband
or friend. the dearest cannot stand
lctween rus and Christ. Love for
mother or father or child must take
second place along side of love for
Christ. Our duty to him is first But
there need be no confiiet-the moro
We love. Christ the more we will love
mbther and father. and child. 1t Is
only when mother or father or child
steps i'm between us and our loyalty
TO Jesus Christ that our decision must
lie made for our Master.
Second. count the cost before yor
iecome follower of Christ. II your
ambition leads you to seek wealth or
honor or pleasure. decide whether
this shall dominate your life Unless
YOU are willing TO recognize the cost
Of becoming a disciple and making
the sacrifice you need not seek tC
follow Christ. There can be no other
Gods before Christ. Don't try "a
serve two masters. it is impossible
Third, the surrender of all our
possessions. The Christian is the
owner OF nothing. He belongs TO his
Lord. He is Gods steward and holds
all he possesses for his Master, to be
used as he orders"
Singer Norris is splendid leader
and has fine voice. He is planning
for a choir OF twenty-five voices.
