Saturday, September 2 was a big day or the people of Baxter and community round aliout, the occasion being a Sunday school gathering and educaional rally. The forenoon was de.'Otcd to exercises by the children and iddresses by Col. E. L. Asbill, of Leesdhe, and Dr. E. C. Eidgeil, of Iiac.esrarg.

John Bell Cowill prt-aid^<l over the meeting;, iu;roduci?g the speakers. Col. Towill vas much dated over ihe completion )f Hulon school house, and congratuated the people of the community. Se called attention to the fact that ive years ago farm lands in f-he comnunity could be bought for four and ive dollars per acre, while the same and today could not be purchased for ifty dollars per acre. Col. Towill favored compulsory education and made i strong appeal for the adoption of a compulsory law. Mis9 Sallie Ganter read an essay 011 rural schools, after which State Superintendent J. E. Swearingen was introduced. Mr. Swearingen made a strong appeal *or a better system of rural ichools. He was very much pleased :o see the improvements made in the school building and was warm in his praise of the work of the trustees. Mr. 3weariugen discussed at length the jchool book problem and urged the cooperation oilrustees La the enforcement of the law. He did not think he time opportune for a compulsory Law. but thoaght the day would soon come when such a law should be enacted. Prof. D. W. Daniel, of Olemson college, followed Superintendent Swearingen. Prof. Daniel is well known in the community, having appeared at Salon a year ago, and the mention of bis time occasioned an ontburst of applause. Prof. Daniel made an able argument for education in the rural districts, and struck a responsive chord, when he declared that he was tired of hearing the farmers assert that they were being oppressed; that they were "? - .1 not as gooa a9 otner ioik. r,very farmer, if he is honest," declared Prof. Daniel, "has the right to look my man in the face and say, 'I am as ?ood as you are.' " Prof. Daniel is a pleasing speaker and he held the attention of the audience for more than an hour. E. A. McGregor, entomologist, in charge of the government's bureau at Batesbnrg, made an interesting talk on the ravages of the red spider, and warned the farmers of the rapid approach of the boll weevil. A bountiful picnic dinner was served in the grove, and, despite the sweltering heat, the day was much enjoyed by the four hundred people present.
