Editor Morning News:
The following clipping is from your leading
editorial in Wednesday’s paper:
ONE FEATURE OF THE BOND ISSUE
There is one feature of the bond issue
discussion that the Morning News believes to
be unfortunate. We refer to the fact that the
argument is being used against the school
part of the bond issue, on account of the fact
that children outside of Marshall are attend-
ing our schools, and but for this there would
not be a necessity of increasing the site of
our school buildings or possibly building
new ones.
We hear a good deal from big business about
the desirability of lifting the heavy hand of the
government off of individual enterprise. The
general impression has been that the general gov-
ernment has been quite liberal with big business

Free Translations.
Here are a few howlers resulting
from the struggles of Japanese writers
to translate English idioms into their
own tongues: "He is a great loan to hia
country" became “be la a great calami-
ty to his country." "He takes things
easily" became “be is a deft thief."
"Spare me five minutes" became
'spare my life only for five minutes."
"He could not find it for the life of
< him" became “he could not discover it
till hia death.” “I shudder at the bare
idea" became "I shudder at the naked-
nesa of such a thought.”—Boston Tran-
script.
No, that is not a valid argument against the
bond issue. Where have you seen this argument
advanced ? I have diligently studied both local
papers and failed to find where anyone opposed
to the bond issue has “advanced” any such ergu-

The price of cotton has stood the shock of
the government report, showing an estimated
yield of a million and half more bales than last
year, without showing a dedline. Yesterday’s
market got back to just where it was before the
condition report was issued. It would look like
that the farmers of the South are to receive a
good price for their cotton this year and that
there is little danger of a material decline. And
the fact that the condition report estimates a
substantial increase over last year’s production,
would indicate that no extraordinary rise in price
need be expected.

Having known you for a number of years, I
believe, Mr. Editor, that you will have the courtesy
to answer my questions, although you have not
advertised to educate voters on the bond issue
question.
Whether you answer or not I am,
Very respectfully your friend,
W. E. LANCASTER.
In reply to the above the News would say that
there was no collusion on the part of the papers
' to write on the same subject. No one asked the
News to write the article that appeared in the
News and it was written before the Messenger
was out.
The News, as you say, has not proposed to
answer questions on the bond issue. But we will
with pleasure answer the one Mr. Lancaster pro-
pounds. If the high echool was filled with pupils
reBiding in the city and there were scores of
boys and girls living near Marshall who/had no
other way to secure a high school education, the
editor of the News would consider it a privilege—I
not a burden—to pay his part towards the furl
wishing of more room in order that these boys
and girls from the country have their chance. I
Whether we would be willing to pay taxes t J
educate children living outside the city in the
lower grades, depends on entirely a different
basis. The News believes the schools in the counJ
try are as good as those in the city, and we be-1
lieve any community makes a mistake which
closes its schoolhouse. We believe .except in iso-
lated cases, that the children outside the city!
should not attend the Marshall schools in the
lower grades, if by so doing the people of Mar J

there was some dim instinct of relig-
ious veneration for it in his canine
mind, perhaps It had become a fetish
for him.
So far, then. Prince bad reacted like
a normal dog. We are apt to credit
animals with the same powers of in-
trospection that we ourselves possess.
But dogs' minds don't work that way.
Nobody can say Just what Prince did
think of the rag doll. No one thought
very much about IL Then came the
fire.
Defective insulation, probably. The
Mortons lived in a large, fine new
house on the outskirts of town—the
colonel and bla lady, Agnes, her col-
ored nurse, and the cook-housemald.
It was about two in the morning when
the blaze was discovered. By that time
the house was almost sll on fire. There
were some carbide chemicals in the
cellar—something of that aort; and the
result was that the whole household
was nearly asphyxiated. They were
passing into death from sleep with-
out recovering consciousness.
A neighbor who wan sitting up late
saw the blaze and turned in the alarm.
In a few minutes the town fire engine
was on the scene. Up go the ladders.
Mrs. Norton is carried out first. still
alive. Then another fireman gets the
colonel. Then the cook-housemaid and
the colored woman. Prince? He had
been howling outside the house all the
time—got shut out at night or some
thing of that sort.
“Well, we've got 'em all out," said
Fire Chief Astley.
"Wasn’t there a kid?" asked one of
the firemen.
"Sure there’s a kid—a little girr"
yelled twenty voices.
Lattle Agnes slept in a small room
between her mother’s and the nurse’s.
and in the excitement it bad escaped
notice.
A pair of firemen went swarming up
the ladder. There came a gush of pois-
oned air from the burning chemicals.
One toppled head backward down the
ladder and fell into the street, break-
ing his arm. The other—Just clung.
Prince dashed through the dining-
room window ss the frame caved in.
Nobody saw thia, but a moment or
two later the dog appeared at the win-
dow of little Agnes’ room, immediate-
ly above the hait-unconscious Agnes.
In his mouth was—the little girl?
No, the rag doll!
Well, I might as well end here. He
had left the child and snatched the rag
doll from beside her heed upon the

skilled leadership the Sovereign was

Golden Gate in a fine passage of 108
days from Sandy Hook. But for the
dismasting she would have broken all
Caps Horn records for that season of
the year.
Instead of running across to China,
as the clippers often did, to reload for
the Atlantic coast, the Sovereign of
the Seas crossed only to Honolulu and
there obtained a cargo of whale oil,
taken on the Pacific grounds by whale
ships from New England. It was on
this pawage southward for Cape Horn
that the Sovereign performed the
memorable feat of running 3,502 miles
in 11 days. in strong winds and galea,
continuing unceasingly. In the four
days from March 10 to March 19 in-
clusive the mighty clipper ship sailed
1,478 mi lea, or, allowing for longitude
eastward and difference in time, an
average of 15% knots. No ocean
steamer of that period could have done
thia. On one day, March 18, the
Sovereign of the Seas is credited with
an average speed of 17 2-3 knots for
24 hours. In the Atlantic on this pas-
sage light and moderate winds pre-

passed Sandy Hook only 82 days out

Longview, Oct. 3.—William Prince
of thia city has enjoyed the novel dis-
tinction of reading a notice of hia own •
death id yearn after the tragic event
was supposed to have occurred.
He was reported dead following an •
accident March 26, 1907, and a Bo-
galusa, La., paper published an ac-
count of the mishap and “demise.”
But Prince didn't die; is employed in
his city, and it was with much elation
that he displayed the other day a
clipping recounting his death. It reads
ss follows:
“William Prince, whose left foot
was cut off near the depot March 22.
while acting as switchman for the 1
Great Northern Railroad died at the I
Charity Hospital, New Orleans, the
next day. He waa a brother of Miss
Prince, who is in charge of the Bo-
galusa hospital. The sympathy of
the community is hers in this bereaye-
ment.
"Young Prince had just assum-
ed his duties as switchman a few
weeka" ago and while making a coup-
ling hia foot slipped on a cross tie
throwing him under the cars. He was ।
dragged a considerable distance,
breaking his collarbone and inflicting
internal injuries.
‘Dr. Simms and Mias Prince took
him to New Orleans to be operated
on, but the injured man could not
stand the shock. He was buried Sun-
day, March 24."
Dr. Sims and the sister returned
home after they had thought Prince
was dead, and reported the funeral
for which they had arranged.
Prince had no memory of events af-
ter he had recovered from the anes:
thetics. He finally recovered and
drifted about the country on crutch-
ea. He secured a wooden leg which
he uses so skillfully few suspect he
wears one.
