The National Guard.

Ihe Courier admires the patriotic
spirit that prompts AdjutaEt-Gen,
eral Hamilton to try and reorganize
the Mississippi National Guard !;
but predicts he will find, before he
is through with it, that he has the
biggest job on his hands lie ever
undertook.
After the experience of the last
three months, there is growing
belief among those who have here,
tOfore been its friends, and urged
the claims of the organization be-
fore the legislature, that it ought
not to be further encouraged, and
ought not to be the recipient of
another dollar from the public
treasury.
When war was declared. and vol.
unteers were called for, with rare
exceptions the National Guards
en,who for years have been "play
ing soldier" Ottentimes simply to
shirk street tax and avoid road
duty, evaded the responsibility
resting upon them, and either re-
fused outright to enlist. or else
made a show of joining the army,
only to retire ingloriously at the
critical moment, leaving the vacant
ranks to be filled by humble patri-
OTIS who attached little Importance
to brass buttons and blue suits
and who held Duty to be higher
and nObler and grander than a
mere desire for public show or
street corner applause.
Compare the muster rolls of the
LIST and I'd Mississippi Regiments,
if you please, with the records of
the Mississippi National guard as
it was supposed to exist at the
breaking out OF this war: and you
will be astounded to find there are
not enough Guardsmen in the two
regiments to form a company.
Where are the others 7 Why their
absence from the tented fields of
ChickamaCga and Jacksonville I
The answer furnishes the best rea
son why they should not be con-
tinued in an organization that has
proven its incompetency and utter
disregard of obligations when the
honor of the country was at stake,
and when men who were trained to
military service were most needed.
For these reasons, We object to a
perpetuation of the Mississippi Ma.
tional Guard, at least as a State
charge.-Hazlehurst Courier.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.

AS has been previously announced
in THE LEADER, the farmers institute
will be held at the Court house. in
Brookhaven, Sept. End and 3rd. And
in view of the discouragingly low price
of cotton and the increased demand
for live stock of every kind, this insti-
tute could not be held at more OPP
perfume time. Progressive farmers are
rapidly awakening to the possibilities
of this country in new lines, and the
man who wants to be abreast with the
times must take advantage of every
opportunity to improve.
The institute to be held at Brook
haven is under the supervision of the
Mississippi Experiment Station and is
the first of its kind that has ever been
held in South Mississippi. Let the
farmers take advantage of it,
Besides the regular programme there
will be an exhibition of live stock
Every one who has anything worthy to
show is invited to take part. DR.. Geo.
H. Love and Sheriff r. C. Applewhite
will have charge of this exhibit. Fol

General GreeIy's avs Days of Death.
The true story of those 27S days OF
suffering by Greely's heroic little band
of explorers in the Arctic region has
been told by General Greedy himself,
for the first time, for the October
Ladies' Home Journal. For years Gen
eral Greedy has kept an unbroken
silence about his fearful experience
and that of his companions, as they
dropped dead one by one at his side,
and it was only after the greatest per-
suasion that the famous explorer was
induced to write the story.

DEATH OF A. n. MAXWELL.

After an illness of two weeks, A. E.
Maxwell, one of the oldest citizens of
Lincoln county, died at his home near
Union Hall church early Monday
in his 73rd year, of paraly-
sis of the heart. A little over two
weeks ago portion of Mr.. Maxwelrs
fence was washed away by freshet,
exposing his crop to stock, and in re-
building it he over-exerted himself,
was taken sick and never rallied. He
was fully reconciled to death and died
without a struggle, surrounded by his
aged wife and other members of his
family.
The funeral took place yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock from Union Hall
church and was largely attended by
sorrowful relatives and friends. An
eloquent funeral sermon was delivered
by Rev. Chas. Oberschmidt and beau
tiful tribute paid to the character OF
deceased, after which the body was
taken in charge by the Masonic frater-
nifty, of which Mr.. Maxwell was an
honored member, and buried at Rose
Hill Cemetery according to the impress
sive rites and ceremonies of that Order.
A. E. Maxwell C"Gus," as he was
called by old friends and companions)
was born in Copiah county, Miss, in
October, 1926. In 1S45 he was married
to Miss Clara Atkinson and in 1856 or
1867 moved to Brookhaven, among the
very first settlers of the place. He
was employed for awhile on the rail
road and helped to complete it to
Brookhaven. He first lived on the
corner now occupied by DR.. BARRIERS
residence, and afterward built and
with his faithful wife, kept the
" Maxwell House," now the "Magee
House," and owned all the property on
that corner For the last II or 10 years
he lived on his farm near Union
Hail. He joined the Masonic lodge at
Fair River in 1856, and remained
faithful member of the fraternity to
the time of his death He was never a
member of the church, but leaned tow
ard the Calvanistic creed and toward
the close of his life professed faith in
Christ as his Savior. One who knew
him long and we'll says he was Away a
law -abiding citizen and never had a
case in court in his life. He was ever be-
nevolent, kindly and cheerful in dispo-
sition, loving husband and father,
kind neighbor and loyal friend. At
the same time he was man of great
independence and firmness of charac-
ter and would rather have gone to the
stake than repudiate his conscientious
convictions. AS such he will be missed
and mourned.
He leaves a widow, four children, a
number of grand children, three broth
ers, sister and number of other rel,
atives to mourn his loss.

The Expected Has Hsppened--Green Case
Has Murdered His Man.

On last Saturday, according to we'll
authenticated reports, while in one Of
his periodic Wild West moods at Union
Church, Green Case wantonly murder
ed an old merchant of that village
named Alex Davis.
According to the account, Case and
Davis had had an alteration earlier in
the day, both being under the influence
of liquor. During this Case disarmed
Davis and turned Davis pistol over to
another man across the street from
Davis store. Subsequently the two
made up, took a drink together, and
the pistol was returned. Still later,
while Davis was sitting In a chair in
front of his store in drunken stupor,
with his face buried in his hands, Case
came along, fred off his pistol two or
three times in the air, as If to arouse
Davis, then turned and snapped it in
the breast of a negro standing by, and
Davis still failing to become aroused,
turned and tried the next chamber at
his head, with the result above stated.
Case made his escape without arrest
and, judging the future by the past,
will come out all right after awhile and
have smooth sailing in his reckless,
frolicsome way until he murders some
one else.
