Stone County enterprise. [volume] (Wiggins, Stone County, Mississippi) 1916-current, 1923-07-26

Few people in Wiggins and
community realize that just
without the city limits there is
an institution that is one of the
pioneers of it's kind in Mississ-
ippi and in the South. 1t is the
Stone County Training School
for colored.
There are about forty of
these schools in this state and a
IKE number in the rest OF the
southern states. They are
established for the purpose of
training colored boys and girls
in the useful avocations of life
and in making them realize that
their greatest future lies in the
South.
The Stone County Training
school has an enrolment of 165,
averaging this number through
out the year. 1t takes colored
pupils from all over the county
and has twelve grades. The
building contains several class
rooms for the various grades and
has a chapel holding $500 on the
second floor. There are also
rooms where the various manual
arts are taught, such as shoe re-
pairing, black smithing, carpent-
er work, etc. The girls are
given work in the domestic arts.
Five instructors are employed.
w. P. Locker is the principal of
the school having come here in
1919 when the school was open
ed. A building for teachers is
maintained on the campus.
The chief contributor to the
school is julius Rosenwald, a
wealthy Jew, owning most OF
Sears Roebuck & Company The
rest is paid by the city and state.
The Finkbine Lumber Company
has also donated much to the
school. The school owns ten
acres OF land.
At the present time there is
no way of reaching the building
bv vehicle. This is extremely
unfortunate for the school when
an evening entertainment is given
or any other like occasion. Dur
ING the winter months the school
snends nine hundred dollars fol-
groceries alone. An institution
such as this helps this commun-
ity in a great many ways. At
small cost road could be con-

NOAH WALKER ADDRESS
STONXE COUNTY VOTERS

Ladies and gentlemen of
Stone County: The time is here
for candidates to give an account
of themselves, so here comes
Noah Walker. Look, listen and
hear what he has to say.
I will call my opponents by
number, so if you want a man
in the legislature to bird hunt,
play cards, and meet pay day,
send No. /. If yo6' want the
stock law pulled over South
Mississippi, send No. 2. If you
want dipping agitated, send No.
3, If you want the dipping,
stock law and everything else
that is as detrimental as those
things are, fought to a solo, send

was being tried in the court.
The Judge asked him if he de-
sired the appointment of an at

going to leave this up to the
ignorance of the people.

No. Us constituents stating he

stumps have been removed by
the students and only a
little grading is required. 1t is
only fair to this school that it be

very little expense to add to an

Il Has a Dozen Other
Names But None of Them
Fits-Sunshine and Moon
light Blended in Silks.
b. ALLEN LAMONT

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, March 22.-WEether the
sun shines or not. on Easter Sunday
morning, observers on the great parade
ground of fashions throughout the
United States will be dazzled with the
hues Of desert sunset. One color
note. as always will be predOminr
1t has a dozen names-brigue, tiger,
coral. Egyptian red and others-but
none of them fits it.
What it really is. is tan. the color
of the dun sands Of the desert with
an underlying note of orange like the
last rays of setting sun darling
through the dot dust. Blended with
it will be an underlying note of
Lanvin green, as cold and shimmery as
moonlight on ice or the now nearly
extinct creme de menthe frappe.
Sunset and moonshinc each will be
Interpreted in silks of every known
weave and crinkle draped in long lines
at the front end in nine cases out of
ten with drapery caught at the hip
by some flashing ornament which will
break the fabric into graceful folds.
Fringe Is Pass.
And do nor forget that fringe is
out, as thoroughly out as n discarded
line in Conan show. Rufflcs and
tucks and rolls are in. Skirts are
covered with ruffles and the bands Of
braided ribbon on puffed rolls of self
material mark the hip and neckline
of the smartest frocks.
Second only in importance to tucks
and ruffles are cuffs, large flaring
cuffs of organdie or brocade which
flare back from the wrist for inches
and which might serve to conceal the
entire repertoire of tricks of any
magician. Sleeves are not neces-
sGry concomitant to the cuffs. In some
instances they flare back from the
bare arm but sleeve or no sleeve they
are there.
And what will they wear over all
this gorgeousness on a chilly Easter
morning? The strict follower of the
styles has three choices. the long
straight, slightly draped coat of poiret
twill. the long cane of crepe of straight
lines ard no sleeve effects with n deep
collar gathered on. or short cape
of similar material which also is &C.
signed along straight lines, but which
falls only to the hip.

large investment in l.. Il. Steel stocks.
\ board Of control was placed in
charge, and it was stated thai a num-
Der of promotions would be dropped
and that going concerns would be
placed on sound financial basis. The
board continued in operation. but the
l.. II. Steel Service Corporation and
the sale of, stocks did not stop until
February 20. when Attorney General
Sherman acted under the, blue sky law
and the board of control entered into
a stipulation to sell no more stock
until released by the state law depart
ment.
The board of control found itself in
financial difficulties within three
weeks and. on March 8. Federal Judge
John r. Hazel appointed receivers. A
financial audit in progress since then
is reported TO have disclosed 1t scarcity
of quick assets in volume approxi-
mating small fraction of the S20,-
100000 invested by stockholders.
Steel was born in Midtown, Pa.
in 1878. He was employed by a chain
store corporation in 1918. when he
conceived the idea Of branching out
for himself.
After his retirement from the presi-
dency of the Steel Corporations, Mr..
Steel went to his country home, Mar
guerita Manor. few miles from the
city. and lived in seclusion. He stead
tasty refused to speak 3or publica-
ton. Mrs. Steel said that he hus-
bands western tIio had nothing TO
do with business affairs. He decided

authorities. Carl Sherman, state at
torney general, yesterday notified the
receivers that he desired to examine
the books of the various Steel corpora
tons. and District Attorney Guy Il.
Moore announced last night that, on
account of reports of gross extrava-
gance in the handling of the S20,-
100000 invested by $4,000 stockhold-
ers. he would join in the inquiry. Fed
eral agents also are in touch with the
receivers but have taken no action.
Began With Small Capital.
Starting with a small capital in
1919, Steel, personally directing ad
vertising and stock selling campaigns,
disposed of more than S20,000,000 in
L. X. Steel Incorporated and its car
ious subsidiaries. As the money poured
in. new corporations were founded.

Steel Service Corporation, which had
to do with stock sales; the l.. Il. Steel
Realty Development Company, hand
ling all leases and real estate owned
by the various branches, and other in
terlocking corporations both, in the
United States and Canada.
Mr. Steel, his former associates say,
ruled the policies of the house of
Stee. with high hand. Chain stores
were purchased at what are said TO
have been exorbitant prices, restau-
rants and carfeterias were opened and
run at loss; large sum was in
vested in coal mine. and about S1SO.-
600 was spent in exploiting a per-
manent international exposition at
Niagara Falls before the enterprise ,
had advanced beyond the blue print
stage. Steel also surrounded himself
with high-salaried executives and paid
high commissions on stock sales.
