WON'T BRING
ANY MORE
Supt. Shannon Says This Bunch Is
the Last And That They Are
Not Contract Laborers.

On Monday last a small-sized sensa-
| tion stirred We gentle Hamiltonians.
Early in the evening rumor gained
currency that Ole Smith, head garden
er of the Bitter Root Stock Farm, and
who last fall crossed the Atlantic for
visit at his old home near Christina,
Norway, would arrive on the evening
train, bringing with him big bunch
of Swedes, the advance guard of
motley aggre cation of contract labor
with which the Bitter Root Stock
Farm was henceforth to be stocked,
or titled rather.
AS great many men, including for
nler employees, have been patiently
waiting for spring work on the farm
to begin and expecting to get their
old jobs, not little excitement and
much adverse comment was set in
motion. A big crowd assembled at
the depot and when the train arrived
it was worked up to quite ferment.
Ole Smith, at the head of - Norwei-
gans, including one woman, stepped
off the train. Then the racket began.
The crowd hooted and jeered the new
corners as they passed along the street
to the sheds where teams were waiting
to convey them out to the stock farm
and when they pulled out.
sUPr. SHANNoN'S STATEMENT.
Supt. Shannon, of the stock farm,
when seen by representative of this !
paper yesterday stated that there was
no reason for apprehension on the
part of the workingmen or business
men of the community. He said that
just before Ole started on his vacation |
trip last fall he asked Mr.. Shannon if, !
in case some of his old time friends |
wished to emigrate to this country, |
they could get jobs here and he as
sented.
Mr.. Shannon said further that farm |
hands are hard to get in busy seasons;
vertise all over the state for them and
that he had been compelled to put up
with some very inferior help; and that
as the Scandinavians as rule are
good workers and make good citizens |
he had readily agreed to Ole's propo-
sal. Supt. Shannon stated further
that he has no quarrel with the local
union or any objection to the new
come rs joining the union and that all
he requires is that the employees do a |
fair days work. He said that there |
would be no reduction of wages nor |
would any of the old hands be dis
placed; that they have no thought or
intention of bringing any more for
eigners here. He positively asserted |
that no contract had been entered into |
with those already here and that they |
would be discharged at once if their |
work does not prove satisfactory. He
said that 169 men are now employed
on the ranch, not counting the Swedes
and that in the busy season the force |
would be increased several hundred.
In conclusion Mr.. Shannon stated |
that the policy of the stock farm is to
accord fair treatment 70 everybody
and that the prospect being bright for
a busy and prosperous season he hoped |
that nothing would occur to mar it.

WAITING FOR KRIS.

Attorney Ward b. Lindsay. on be-
half Of the West Virginia Humane

ceedings tefore Judge e. Bovd Faux
ner to secure control OF William h.
Moreland. aged l3..vears, and VERNE
Moreland. aged II years, Children Of
Charles x. More'and. who resides in
the Gerardstown district.
Neighbors of the Morelands recent
ly went before Justice Roberts and
complained that the father treated the
children with extreme cruelty. More
lands wife left him some time ago os-
cause of alleged ill-treatment, and
neighbors claim that since that time
the little bow and girl have had an
extremely hard time. Justice Roberts
issued an order placing the t 70 child
rem under control temporarily of Dep
utv Sheriff Kettering, who provided
good homes for them.
Judge Faulkner granted the writ
asked for by the attorney for the hu-
name society. and the case will come

Death Of Thos. Henderson.

When the death of this beloved
old gentleman was announced yes
terday morning at daybreak, just
when little curly heads and
bright eyes were arousing from
the sweet sleep of childhood, a
shadow fell upon children, and
parents too, in their morning
brightness, and a great dread and
wonder unsurped the joyful an
ticipations of the little ones for
the day. "Mr. Henderson dead?"
"Not the good Mr.. Henderson
who gave me candy?" But it was
only too true that the dear little
children of the town had lost, per-
haps, their greatest and most gen
erous friend.
Beyond this, the cause of truth
and right, of justice and mercy, of
education and purity, the cause of
sincere Christianity had lost a
friend, when Thomas Henderson
died. Upright in his life, gen.
tleman in department, kindly and
sunny in his demeanor, he was a
man loved and respected by all
who knew him. He will be sadly
missed among US.
He leaves a wife in the shock
of sorrow that comes suddenly.
On yesterday morning, after a day
spent about the home, while the
good wife took his place at the
store, he was found by her in his
bed, with the peace of God upon
his brow in the rest that cometh
after toll, and that remaineth for
those who love Him. His demise
was wholly unanticipated and is
attributed to heart trouble. He
had lived for more than three score
years and ten.
To the wife left alone among us
with no ties of kindred near, sym
pathy goes out abundantly; and
because of her utter desolation
more tenderly do the hearts of
friends entwine about her own.
Mr.. Henderson was an ex-Con-
federate soldier and was laid to
rest among his sleeping comrades
of the Lost Cause" in Rose Hill
cemetery yesterday afternoon.
The leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1895-1905, 1903-09-12
Don't be a BOIter.

As stated in it's first issue after
the second primary, The Leader
has no sympathy with any in
dependent movement in this coun-
ty. Such a movement, after all
white voters of the county have
had a chance to express their
choice at the polls, is both ill-ad-
vised and an act of bad faith.
Besides, it is violation of section
9 of the primary election law for
anyone who participated in the
late Democratic primaries to bolt.
If it be argued that anything in
the late campaign and primaries
was not straight and whatit should
have been, tits sufficient to answer
that there has been quite enough
of bad politics for one year and
the people should be given a rest.

BESSIE BRIsrER CoNNALLY.
whom God Called Home. May IS, 1908.

God called, and Bessie answered.
We prayed; but He knew best,
And he plucked our fairest blossom,
To bloom among the blest.
Though loving hands detained her,
And bleeding hearts cried, "Stay!"
The angels gently bore her
To Heavenly shores away.
That fathers heart is yearning,
For Bessie his eldest born,
Who went to live with Jesus,
That beautiful Monday morn.
The mother calls her darling
Calls, but all In vain!
God only In His mercy
Can heal this mothers pain.
Brothers and little sister
Grieve for sisters care;
They must try to lead Christian life,
And meet her "OVer There"
The rosy babe she left us,
Ere the call came from above,
viii never know the treasure
OF amother's boundless love;
And he who swore to cherish,
And love her all his life,
Mourns with deepest sorrow,
His three-year-wedded wife.
Bessie! young and happy!
Why did you have to go?
Our loss is your gain eternal;
Your joy, our bitter woe.
You went without one warning,
The blow Is hard to bear.
Our darling so safely shielded
From even trivial care.
God help us to bear our sorrow!
Mother, husband and all
His love alone can soften
The desolation Of His call.
We kiss you farewell, dear Bessie,
Till we meet again on high;
'TiS only an earthly parting
And not an eternal "Good bye"
