Is so interlaced on the public ques-
tions that the minute you get it
out from under the high tariff, you
get into the trust question and oth
ers."

II
PRESENT IXCtfflBEJiT ANNOUNCER
FOK THE NOMINATION—
STANDS ON HIS RECORD
I hereby announce my candidacy
for re-election to the office of
County Commissioner of the Second
district
I stand on my past recorti. My
past record is my platform.
The present board has served a
little over eighteen months and we
have the county in the best shape
financially that it has been in einco
it was organized as a county. Wa
have placed the county on a caah
basis on the first day of July, 1911,
which was never done before in the
history of the county, and the coun y
is now on a cash basis. We have
refunded all of the outstanding bonds
and warrants, some of them stand-
ing for nineteen years. This in-
cludes the old liabilities of 1909,
which make a total of $59,000 in
back indebtedness. We had them
refunded at the rate of five and a
half percent instead of six percent
that they originally drew. We sold
the bonds at a premium of $1,000.
Later on. something like four
months ago, all of the outstanding
warrants known as the Little River
Drainage District No. 1 warrants
nnd drawing six percent from date,
the present board refunded at five
percent, saving one percent annua'-
ly on  r>0,000. We have economized
un nine of the deputy clerks, saving
the taxpayers to the amount of $10:
each month; and economized in vari-
ous other thingis that the record
ehows to be to the Interest of the
taxpayers of the county.
Reepectfuliy yours,
R. H. LONDON,
Commissioner, Second District.

LER IN SOUTH END.
A new five-ton capacity cotton
oil mill Is being constructed at Sa-
cred Heart, in the south end of

experienced man in the cotton pro-
ducts business. Tho mill will be
of the latest improved design, and

of oil.
The by-products, such as meal and
hulls, will be used for feeding pur-
poses in the Immediate neighbor-

HIGH SCHOOL
EDUCATION IS
INADEQUATE
IT IS SO DECLARED IN A RE-
PORT TO THE NATIONAL
EDUCATIONAL BOARD.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, July 6.—High school ed-
ucation throughout the United States
I.1 branded as generally "A bookish,
scholastic abstract and is inade-
quate to meet the practical prob-
lems of life," Is the report to the
National Education Association which
opened here today.
High School education is declared
to be too much a mere preparation
for the university.
Instead of dealing with the prob-
lems of life students are taught the
language and customs of fiteen cen-
turies ago.
High school teaching in the di-
rection of the farm, shop and home
is recommended.
