Monday School Elections Develop
Surprises.

Mondays school elections in the
county developed two painful sur
prises for advocates of consolidation
of district schools. The proposition
to consolidate the schools of the Ba-
hala district met with defeat by a
vote of AZ against, to 36 in favor of
it. The Fair River district consoli-
dation project also failed to carry,
the vote being 36 for, and 81 against.
East Lincoln consolidated district,
however, strongly endorsed the prop
osition to equip the new school just
completed, and voted $4,000 bonds
for this purpose. The vote was 81
for to 27 against.
East Lincoln has just finished the
erection of an $4,000 building with
eight class rooms and an auditorium
of 500 seating capacity. In fact the
new school building was opened
Monday for the first time, the first
use Of it being to hold the election
for the additional money for equip
ment.

When you hear some shop-worn
factional "boss" undertaking to dis
credit newspapers just wait until
some paper happens to have~a COM
plimentary paragraph about him and
then watch him hunt high and low
for the newspaper. If it says some
thing uncomplimentary he will send
somebody else to hunt for the paper
being ashamed to let anyone know
that he wants to see it. Napoleon
was mighty man in his day. He
said that four hostile newspapers
were more to be feared than a thous-
and bayonets. The smallest news
paper in Mississippi, if honest, in
telligent, and fearless, is greater than
any time-serving, office-hunting, or
office-holding politician in the land.

Promise Of Napoleon to
Marshal Ney Carried Out


Paris.-The promise made by
Napoleon to Marshal Ney has
just been fulfilled by the commits
sion governing the Saar valley
under the supervision of the
League of Nations. The commits
sion has authorized the institu-
tion of a supreme court at Saar-
louis, the celebrated marshafs
birthplace.
1t is a town of less than TO-
600 inhabitants, which was the
old capital and military strong
hold when the Saar was a
French province. When General
Mangin passed through the Saar
with his troops on the way to
the Rhine some of the old inhab-
itants who retained French SYM
pathies reminded him of the en-
proper authorities"
"But I'm not Napoleon's sue
cessor," General Mangin replied,
'and the judiciary is not my line.
l will pass on the request to the
proper authorities"
General Mangin was relieved
of his command in the Rhineland
before he could take steps In the
matter, but the Saar commission
found no objection to the prof.
ect. since 1t was not only graft
flying to the town of Saarlouis,
but was considered Of real util-
ity.

OLD FAITHFUL is oUTDoNE
New Yellowstone Geyser Starts 5usI.
ness on FlftIeth Anniversary Of
the National Park.

Yellowstone, Wyo.-With a prodi-
gious cough on the fiftieth anniversary
Of the opening Of Yellowstone park as
a national playground. a new geyser
spouted into the air from an old hot
mudhole, shooting higher than "Old
Faithful and smashing all previous
records for altitude.
81. N. Albright, superintendent Of
the park, took look at the newcomer
to the wonders Of the place and de
cided to call 1t the Semi-C Centennial
geyser. A motoring party drawn close
to the innocent old mudhole called 1t
various other things, for the machine
and members Of the group were bathed
In gooey mud and pelted with brick
like fragments Of rock, apparently
baked mud. Government rangers later
formed guard around the place.
The new geyser Is near Roaring
mountain. Its first eruption threw
mud and stones 800 feet In the air.
Trees in a wide radius were coated
with slime, which quickly dried and
left them wearing a dry gray crust.
The mudhole had been tranquil for
many years.
Tourists flocked from many miles
away to see the new wonder. which
has set itself an hourly schedule for
It's eruptions.
The extreme Of consclentiousness
seems to have been reached In the case
OF the girl who, before committing
