IA crowd of over 400 heard him.
Preceding and introducing Mr.
Conner was T. Webber Wilson OF
LAUREL last year elected congress
man from the sixth district, after
a hot fight with Jeff Collins. Mr.
Wilson delivered eulogizing intro
duction for Mr.. Conner, after char
acterizing the present administration

and an enemy to decency. IF you
are looking for man who will give
YOU clean, honest, business ad-
Mike Conner is that
man." he said.
Mr.. Wilson was introduced by B.
f. Dulweber, who then introduced

SUPT. OF EDUCATION


CS,|ith the palsing into the Great
Beyond every year Of some of our
oldest citizens we lose a good deal
of valuable information that should
be preserved for the benefit of our
children and our children's children.
In every county there are old men
and women, splendid citizens who
have been a real part Of the his
tory Of our state, whose minds are
veritable storehouses of desirable in
formation. They know first hand
many things of importance not writ
ten in books. They know how the
people used to live, how they dres-
sed, built schools, churches, homes,
and so forth. They know about the
original families in their respective
counties. They know about the old
mill sites, swimming holes, and
other things of more or less i'm
.portance.
Ia order to save this information
that will become more valuable as
the years come and go, beginning
with this fall the pupils of the high
schools of the various counties are
going to be requested to write
history of their respective counties,
with special reference to the things
in this letter.
Prizes will be offered for the best
showing made.

CONNER SPEAKS TO LARGE
CROWD AT GREENWOOD
CANDIDATE FAYs GANG POLITICS CHARGES GOVERN
ABUSE.

apublic until he had found out how
he voted. He made strong appeals
for the indepndent voter, describing
Franklin as the crown prince who
had been appointed by the outgoing
governor to succeed him. Don't
expect this from me-" he said, 'if
II am elected, | will be on the job
attending to the business and duties
iof the Office"
Gang politics was thoroughly con-
demned, the speaker exclaiming. ANY
man who votes for an official of i'll
repute, merely because he is one of
the gang, ought to be disfranehised' -
Mr.. Conner then went into the man
ner in which the governors office is
now being abused, citing particular
ly the matter of so long holding up
the appointment of a prison superin-
tendent.
He scored heavily against Franklin
in a letter written by Gov. Russell
which told that Franklin had stood
with the hill crowd, and fought the
best interests of his own section.
A traitor to his own people" ex-
claimed Mr.. Conner.
Mr.. Conner stated that he favored
extending and aiding education, be-
lieving in cheaper school books, but
did not believe in the state publish
ing school books as Bilbo advocates.
II believe in appointing good men
on the text book commission" he
said
The speaker then said that when
the present school book contract
was made, the busiest man in Jack
son was Bilbo; not as a representa-
tive of the state, but of one Of the
school book companies.

LIBERAL OFFER MADE
FOR AMUSEMENT PLACEI

The Southern Power 4 Manufact-
,ring Company, through f. H. Bar
ringer, Manager, has made an of
fer to the Mayor and Aldermen to
furnish all the water necessary for
: swimming pool for the town, and
to keep the pool clean and fresh
running water free of charge.
Mr.. Barringer has suggested that
an admirable place for pool would
he lust south of the former ball
mark adjoining the Power Plant,
where the piping cost would be
practically nothing, and where he
could give the place careful and
constant supervision.
The proposition looks feasible and
would provide a resort for the young
people and for the students of the
A. H. S. under proper supervision
and would practically eliminate the
uresent swimming resort out at, the
Creek.
The fact that young people must
have places for amusement and will
seek it somewhere would seem to
make an appeal for the establish
ment of inst such a place as the
one suggested, so that there might
he thrown around it the proper
restrictions and supervision.
OF course the Mayor and Board
win give this matter careful con-
sideration.
