VISIT THE SCHOOLS.
You hear a great deal about our
schools, talk much about them,
think some about them, and per-
adventure wonder not a little more
about them than if they were in
China, llow many heads of fami-
lies, parents, business men, men
of minds* ever cross the threshold
Wm. J. Stru gi r, Editor and Proprietor j ,,f the school room? How many
ever offer a word encouragement
Friday, sept. 24, 1915.
Much has been said, and many
predictions have been made about
the fate of the rank growth of
weeds in the by-ways and on the
vacant lots of the city, but they
remain unmolested. The .Chroni-
cle will contribute as much as any-
one else in either work or a cpntri-
(bution nf cash to have the weeds
cut. The work could be done by
contributions from the public and
the amounts contributed by anyone
need not he large. Tlus is,a last
resort; hut it should he done, even
at that.
Last Saturday was another of
those “old time” days in Teague,
with reference to the volume of
business done by Teague merchants.
We say “old time” days because
n good da'y is so often referred to
as such. Time was when the
streets of Teague were crowded
every day during the harvest
season, and especially on Satur-
day. Farmers were busy selling
their products and purchasing
their merchandise. This BeaBon
there are better prices being paid
in Teague for' colton and seed and
our merchants have prepared
themselves to meet the short crop
emergency with a low price on
merchandise, Saturday- seed
brought $25.50 per ton and cotton
nearly 11c per pound. It is esti-
d that the crop will be cut
but it is bringing good times
. Another month
to teacher or scholar and let them
know by your presence, at least
occasionally in the qphool room
that you are an interested party,
really desirous that they should
prosper, and that you have their
best welfare at heart? How many
have personally recognized the
head of the school, he who has the
training of the mind and the build--
ing of- and establishing the char-
acter of your boy 'or girl? How
many have kindly- counseled and
advised with him, showing you are
with him in the great work,wishing
him well, and cheering with a God
speed.. How few, methinks, can
answer in the affirmative, and yet
you often hear of the school and
feel that it is not what it should
be, and what you wish it was. Will
it help it to be constantly finding
fault, continually growling and de-
nouncing it with almost every
breath? and when some trivial or
even grave mistake is made will it
better matters to pompously parade
the same before the public?
Things are not often just as we
would like to have them, and sur-
rounding circumstances not always
as we imagine or hear they are,
and very often if ^e know the e*-
aot condition and state of affairs
WHY NOT TRY IT HERE?
Portland’ Oregon’ has .'100,000
inhabitants, yet in the past nine
months there Iuib not been an auto-
mobile accident in that city.
There are thousands of machines
and the city is full of hills, where
driving is difficult.
Some time ago the officials of
Portland devised a little scheme to
prevent reckless driving. An
ordinance was passed eliminating
fines in cases of speed violations
and substituting the rock pile Ev-
ery person, no matter what his
rank, station or wealth, was sent
to the rock pile for Tbn days when
he violated the speed ordinance.
The result has been very satis-
factory. No one ha-s been injured
in automobile accidents, and now
there is no speeding.
our minds and opinions would be
the reverse to what they were with
out a knowledge Of facts.
Now this is merely offered als a
hint land while we presume many
willy read it, it is hoped some will

INCENDIARY EDITORIALS.
The newspapers of the north and
middle west have nothing to.be
proud about in their connection
with the Leo Frank lynching. The
Frank case long ago was taken
from the courts and the State of
Georgia and tried in the newspa-
pers. We are not interested in
whether or not Frank was guilty
or not guilty of the crime with
which be was charged. Neither is
there any possibility of condoning
the frightful crime of lynching.
But we deplore the attitude of the
newspapers which railed against
the South until their interference
fanned the flames of mob-hatred
and resulted in the Frank lynching.
One of the principle papers of Chi-
cago became, thus, the head of the
mob that lynched Frank and equal-
ly. guilty of the crime. Every
sane man lc^>ks with horror on the
deed of the Georgia mob, and none
deplore it so much as the people
*of Georgia. We find our

once applied at the door of Hades
for admission, “Well replied his
sable majesty, "we let one of your

with his former delinquent sub-
scribers, and as we have more of
