AMITE COUNTY A. u. S.
OPENING,

The Amite County Agricultural
High School will open its seventh
session on Monday, September 4.
That day will be devoted to regis
tration, assignments and opening
exercises. The opening will be at
1:3O ?. M. in the auditorium. 1t
will not be very formal in its ma
ture but will give an opportunity
for patrons to get acquainted with
new teachers and students, hear
something Of the trend Of modern
education and get something Of
the plans for the coming year.
Comparatively few people real
ize how swiftly educationally
movements have been taking place
in Mississippi during the past few
years. The state has been taking
great strides forward and we must
wake up to the situation or we
shall find that the progressive
counties and cities have been NOV
ing on and we are so far behind
We shall never catch up with the
professions.
Also few realize that in the
many changes that have taken
place that each standardized school
such as the A. c. A. H. S. has to
meet certain requirements and is
hedged about with certain limi.
tations that mnst he compiled
with in order to keep pace with
this same educational procession.
Some Of the uniformed at times
criticise the rigid holding to re-
quirements by local school of
fcials when as q matter Of fact the
the said local officials have abso
lutely nothing to do with the mat
ter and are simply meeting the
conditions set up by those higher
up the educational ladder and
which if not done would entail the
loss Of state appropriations.
Amite county is not getting her
share Of Federal appropriations
Under tho provisions of the
Smith-HuGheS law thousands Of
dollars Of federal money is being
spent in soldier rehabilitation,
We are getting a little Of that.
The rehabilitation OF unfortunate
children by the federal govern
ment and state is doing a great
work and Amite county is getting
a little OF that, One graduate ol
the A. II. S. has been badly Grip
led for many years will soon be
with US, after having spent the
summer in a hospital, walking as
we'll as any one.
The Towner.Sterling bill will
no doubt be killed OF passed in
the coming session Of congress.
If that bill passes it will about
double the common school resour
ces Of the state. Just as a large
state appropriation for our schools
forces the richer sections OF tie
state to help educate the poorer
ones just so would the passage
Of this bill force the richer states
to help educate the children in ihe
less fortunate sections. Mississ-
ippi has every thing to gain and
nothing to lose. Let US all pull
together and pull hard for the
passage Of this bill.
The prospective attendance at
the A. H. S. for the forthcoming
session is good. Presence indi.
cations point to larger attendance
Of boys than girls. This has moi
been truO in the past. So let il
be. We want to do all the good
we can to all the people We can,
Henry F. Stout, Principal.

the COMMUNITY PICNIC,

The picnic came off Tuesday
evening. Practically the entire
community was in attendance
We made the mistake Of setting
the times an hour later than we
should have met, as the nightfall
comming so much earlier than we
had realized caused us to elimi.
nate much Of theprogram There
was more, or less, confusion in
serving the refreshm ents, but an
other time We will profit by the
mistakes We made this time, and
manage things better,. and, any
way, there was an abundance Of
iced tea and sand witches, and
everybody had a good time.
Only two talks we're given, Bro.
johnson made hit with his
humorous remarks on Chicken
Raising" Any preacher is an
expert in chicken raj sing, he said
from the plate to the mouth,
as it wereI Miss Sibyl Stratton
was asked to explain the "Obiect
of the Picnic" Her speech"
follows:
Some one said the object OF the
picnic is to afford and opportunity
for the Old Maids and Widows to
find a Beau. II this be true,
then here we are-all ages and
sizes-truly, a representative
crowd. Now allof you old Bachel
ors and Widowers look us over,
and make q choice. And l can
tell you:
If you pick them when they're young
They are always fine and sweet,
With the dew upon their lips
And the dancing in their feet.
1t is with them as with flowers,
And the king is he who knows
The ragweed from the IOents
And the bramblet from the rose.
II you pick them when hey're mellow
With the dream Of middle age,
They're little bit like Ilc,
Or like lavander and sage.
But sweetness has moi eh them,
And they re still to be desired,
With their arms and voice to soothe you
When you're feeling hgged and tired.
1t you pick them whfnRe shadow
OF the gray days gosahJong--
Like the autumn ss!9sl meadows
In the twilight land Sleag
There is still holy sweetRess
In tho heart that's true as gold,
And girls always angel,
And her heart is never old q
1t isn't such a bad idea to pail
folks off. Numbers OF US here
can testify that two congenial
souls together can drive away the
blues any old time. But | must
tell you that pairing off folks is
not the primary object of our pic,
mic. The idea Of the picnic origi-
mated with Mrs, Bes sic Lea ard

chatted along the wpy after Sun.

came to our minds that it is q

parley, we announced another pic.

we are.
Our object is calling our people

THE ALDERMANIC JUNkET.

The aldermen who are going to
spend a hundred thousand dollars
of the peoples money on that junket
Monday, should one and all be re-
tired to private life. The members of
the present city council have in
dulged in more costly excursions at
the peoples expense than any body
of aldermen that Chicago has ever
had. California and the Yellowstone
Park, Los Angeles and Hollywood, the
Alleghenies and the Aidrondacks in
the East; New York and Florida; Bos
ton and New Orleans-all have been
subject to investigation" and lin
spection" at one time or another by
our present city fathers. This bunk is
the worst and cOStlieSt. The, alder
men, with them a number of clerks
and secretaries and the whole batch
of excursions was simply a hOldup
of the city treasury. Nothing has
come of any of the trips Nothing will
come of this European trip of the
least benefit to the people of Chi
cago. No wonder holdup men revel in
their work in Chicago. The only diff
ference between their form of plum
der is that they rob individuals while
the council junketeers rob the people
collectively The idea of a cheap lot
of skates like our aldermen doing
what they will with the public money
to give themselves private enjoyment
reflects very badly upon our form of
local government

Porch at Watertown, NJ. Y.

WatertOwn, \. Y, July 13-Eight

They have already found six, which
have been thrown into the Black river
The children were playing croquet in
The back yard of the WOrkman-SaliS-

HARD COAL men
BACK PEACE PLAN
Anthracite Operators Approve
Presidents Arbitration
Proposal
new WAGE SCALE AUG. 10
Bituminous Operators and Miners
Scheduled to Deliver Reply on
Saturday - Secretary Davis
Says Coal Must Move.

Washington, July 13.-The first &c
ceptance of President Harding's arbi-
tratiOn proposal in the coal strike
came from the anthracite operators
A committee of anthracite opera
tors, headed by Michael Gallagher of
Cleveland, who is also a bituminous
operator, and S. d. Warmer of Phil
adelphia, called at the White House
and left a long statement with the
President in which they accepted the
terms which he laid down Monday for
arbitration of the strike.
Ask New Scale by August.
One of the conditions of acceptance
made by the anthracite operators was
that it should be made mandatory
upon the commission to fix a new
wage scale on or before August 10,
or on some other definite date.
The operators pointed out that the
coal market would be upset if buyers
could not know in August what prices
were to be when the coal was deliv-
cred.
The decision of the anthracite OPP
orators cannot be taken, it was said
as fOrecasting a similarly favorable
response on the part of the bitumi-
nous operators.
Both the bituminOuS operators and
miners are scheduled to deliver their
replies to the President Saturday.
"CoaI Must Move."-Davs.
1.-The big thing in the mine strike
situation is that the country needs
coal, and, by heaven, we are going tC
have it," Secretary of Labor Davis
told officials of the United Mine
Workers.
Davis said both sides in the coal
controversy desired a Qualification OF
the administrations plan for the es-
tablishment of an arbitration com
mission and that an explanation
would be given.

EVERY SUBSCRIBER
A STOCKHO[DER
This Is Aim of Illinois Bell
Telephone Company in
Offering A. T. ct. Stock
to Public. Employees
Will Assist in Sales.

To assist in obtaining a wider own
ership in the telephone industry, the
Illinois Bell Telephone Company,
through its employees, has planned to
sell limited amount of stock in the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company to the public of Illinois.
This is not new stock of the American
Company, but stock which is expected
to be obtained and sold at the market
price. The purpose is to effect redistri-
button and place the shares in the
hands of telephone subscribers and
users. Announcement of the plan was
made in the Bell Telephone News, the
official magazine of the Illinois Bell
Telephone Company.
Arrangements have been made for
the sale of this stock in every exchange
of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company,
and the details will be handled by the
commercial representatives. Employees
in all departments, however, will assist
in obtaining new shareholders.
The Bell System is required to pro-
vide approximately S215, 100000 each
year for additions and requirements in
order that telephone facilities may be
furnished those who want service. 1t is
more than most European nations
spent annually for public purposes
before the war. 1t is two and One-half
times the annual expenditure of the
United States government the year
before the Civil War, and it is more
than the annual pre-war expense of
Spain, Brazil, Argentina or Canada.
