German team. who covered the dis

stops imposed by the regulations.
Two members of the French team ran
each other so close for second place
that II will not be known. until Fri.
day whether Deknid or Farman is en-
titled To the honor. Only one minute
divided them. IL is thought likely
that Dekniff's claim 10 second place
will be upheld The most remarka-
BILE features of the great race were
its practical immunity from serious
accidents and the wretched showing
by the American team. At Bally
shannon, which is the headquarters
for the race. no news had been re-
ceived Thursday Of anyone being in
jured except one Of the contestants.

chauffeur Jarrett had a miraculous
escape from death. and now lies with
n broken collar bone and a badly
bruised body. His chauffeur also has
fractured collar bone. besides a
broken leg. Both. however. are doing
well. The accident Occurred through
the steering gear of the favorite Eng
lish car getting cut Of order when
going at full speed. Instead OF turn
ing a corner. the automobile ran
straight into the bank at the side of
the road and was smashed in two. |
How the occupants escaped death is
more than they themselves can ex-
plain Stocks. another Englishman.

cause, but was not hurt.

low state of health, his mind

A Distinguished OId-Timer.

Johnston, City, Tenn, Dec.16.
Maj. William Fl. Garland, aged
ninety four years, died today at
the National Soldiers Home,
where he had been for several
years.
Maj. Garland has had long
and eventful career. He has sha-
ken hands with and has person
ally met every president of the
United States except the first
one, George Washington. He
was on the detail that welcomed
Gen. Lafayette to this country
in 1924, and remembered with
great pride a conversation he
once had with Napoleon on the
island of ST. Helena.
In the death of Maj. Garland
one Of the brightest and most
substantial links connecting the
present with the past has been
broken.

Y: M. c. A. Notes.

at a meeting of the Board of
Directors of the YIN. G. A., held
last Friday night, it was decided to
put on work for boys between
the ages of 10 and 16. The boys
will be,admitted to the meeting
on certain days, and will have the
use of the gymnasium and baths
twice each week. The member
ship fee was placed at So per
year, and at this low rate it is
certain that a large boys work
will soon be in force.
A membership in the Boys
Department would be most APP
propriate Christmas present for
a boy, and the Association begs
to offer this as suggestion to the
parents of Brookhaven, who are
worried over the problem of Civ
ing, as being the best thing they
can give.

NO PAPER NEXT SATURDAY.

In order to allow our employees
holiday and the editor a brief
season of recreation, The Leader
will issue no paper next Satur-
day, 26th inst. Our next issue
will appear Wednesday, Deem
Der 30th.
As we stand upon the TIRES
hold of this joyous, festive sea-
son, we offer greetings to all of
our readers, far and near, rich
and poor, and wish them GA
Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year" We feel especially
grateful to all who have favored
US during the year with their
patronage and words of appre-
citation and encouragement. The
year closes with the country at
large more prosperous than at
any time perhaps in its history.
Especially does this apply to Mis-
sissippi and Lincoln county, and
we are pleased to be able to say
The Leader has shared its due
proportion of this prosperity.
AS we participate in the pleas
ures of the joyous Christmas tide,
let us all at the same time bear
in grateful remembrance the Oliver
of all our earthly blessings and
not by word or conduct do that
which is inconsistent with the
teachings and example of Him
whose reputed natal day we cele-
brate.

Mr.. Van Lee, a member of the
staff of the Scientific American
and an art critic of some note,
who was in Jackson recently,
visited the Historical Hall in the
new Capitol, where the portraits
of the famous men of Mississippi
are on exhibition, and, after look
ing at the portraits, gave it as
his opinion that the portrait of
Governor ..Poindexter, which has
been contributed to the depart
ment by one of his relatives, is a
genuine West portrait. Director
Rowland has known ever since he
received the portrait that it was
by some well known artist, but
had no idea that it was painted
by West, who is one of the most
celebrated of American painters,
and who was at one time painter
to one of the kings of England.

SURPRISING WHITECAPPING.

DR.. A. M. Newman, sheriff
elect of Franklin, was in jackson
one day last week and expressed
himself as follows to a CORES
pondent of the New Orleans Plea
yune, concerning the white cap
ping in that county:
"We are going to stop the
whitecapping. If we can't stop
it, we are going to move our
selves. The whitecappers and
the law abiding citizens of that
section can't live in the same
community or county. One or
the other must 60, and | think it
will be the whitecappers. The
people have had enough of their
lawless doings, and have organ
lied to put an end to it. A com
mittee composed of the leading
citizens from each of the super
visor districts in Franklin county
has been appointed for this pur-
pose, and 81, 900 has been raised
to secure detectives to catch the
lawless band and their leaders.
"Some years ago whitecappers
appeared in Franklin county,
near Amite county line, and ter
rorized the negroes, but the move
ment was suppressed. There
have been occasional outbreaks,
and about three weeks ago this
organization started their work
again, and the negroes have been
afraid for their lives. Many
have left the community for safer
and more welcome parts, and
labor has been greatly disturbed"
\ 1t is certainly high. time some
Such steps as the above were being
taken by the law abiding farmers
anA good citizens of Lincoln
county. Two negro farmers have
been 3ssassinated in or near their
homes Gn this county, hundreds
of negroes are in state of terror
and leaving their homes, and,
thus far, not step has been taken
or word of pEotest or disapproval
of such outrAges has been ut
tered by any aitizen Of the com
munity where Ehese things are
going on, so far \as the public is
advised. Men of Nincoln, it is
shameful state on affairs and
will be proclaimed evSrywhere to
your discredit, if you No not rise
up in your indignation aRd might
and stop such crimes ami bring
the perpetrators to justice.

DR.. H. K. Butler, public road
contractor, and several other
prominent citizens, have acquired
the charter for an electric rail
road from Summit to Magnolia,
and will shortly put forth efforts
to secure the necessary capital to
build and equip the line. The
promoters are confident that a
well equipped electric line from
Summit to Magnolia would pay
handsomely, and will immeasur-
ably benefit Summit, McComb
City, Fernwood and Magnolia,
and greatly enhance the value of
the land through which it will
pass. The promoters expect to
have no difficulty in securing the
capital necessary to put the under
taking through to a successful
termination at an early date.
