THE CLEANSING OF OUR

Hygiene Ii To make growth more

less rapid, death more remote,
hence. hygiene treats OF the laws

which tend to improve the general
health. II embraces q knowledge
Of the factors and conditions which

means of preventing disease,
Perfect health Is dependant upon
The normal activity OF all the organs
OF the body maintained in their
normal condition only by the ob.
servance Of all the general hygiehic
rules aud regulations. Cleanliness
Is one Of the most important factors
In the preservation Of health. This
applies not only to cleanliness oil

particular OF life. II goes without
saying. that cleanliness Of body,
clothes aud nabitaiion. Is essential
to good health.
Our experience with disease III
this town. In the summer just past,
should teach as lesson not to be
soon forgotten, The hygienic con.
disions of Woodville is something
deplorable. Now Is the time te

Two Negroes Resist Arrest in Lawrence.

Sheriff Arthur Fox of Lawrence
county had an exciting experience
with Geo. and Chas. Pittman, col
ored, near the Lawrence and Lin
coin line last Sunday. He had a
warrant for the arrest of the ne
groes for disturbing the peace in
Lawrence county at a negro
church, and when he went to
serve it, they resisted and Geo.
Pittman drew pistol and fired
several shots at the sheriff, one
ball going through his coat. Ru-
Hdolph Garrett, a young white
man with the sheriff, succeeded
in arresting Chas, Pittman, and
with Sheriff Fox, fired several
shots at George, as hemade eff.
1t is believed the negro was
wounded, but it is not certain.
Geo. and Chas. Pittman live at
F..B. Smiths place In Lincoln,
and range into Lawrence. where
they are known as desperate char
|acteEs. They are said to be re-
lated to the negro desperate,
Robt. Charles, who was killed in
New Orleans about two years ago,
latter be had killed several officers
and citizens who were attempting
! to arrest him.

SMALLPOX Scare.

A man named Sam Coon created
mild sensation last night about s
O'Clock by driving up in front of
the court house with four negroes
in a wagon which he reported had
small pox. He was promptly no
tilted by Policeman S. T. Magee
to leave town with his pest breed
ing load, and not to stand On the
order of his going. which he soon
did.
Coon came from Bogue. Chitto
or that vicinity, and was evidently
bent on finding the county. pest
house, which is located on por-
tion of the county convict farm,
but proceeded in a very clumsy
way by. bringing the infected
cases to town.
Hon. j. NJ. Yawn, of Bogue
Chitto, was in town Yesterday,
and stated that there have beer
about twelve cases Ia Bogue Chitte
and vicinity, olassed as small pox
Iall being among the whites excep
three, but that the disease was Of
an exceedingly mild type, and was
considered BY many as nothing
more than chicken pox. Still all
Idue precaution should be taken Ii
prevent it's spread.

Prof. VIM. P. Dlckey.

The Leader is in receipt of a
profusely decorated copy of the
Boone County Recorder, pub
lished at Burlington, KY, with
the compliments of Prof. VIM. P.
Dickey. The copy before us,
which is highly creditable speei-
men of the PRIMERS art, contains
good half-tone likeness of Prof.
Dickey and the following pen
sketch, which will be read with
interest by his numerous Lincoln
friends:
William Pinkney Dickey was
born in Brookhaven, Lincoln
County, Mississippi, in 1878. He
was reared on farm and attended
the public schools in his county
until he was about seventeen years
old, when he entered Mississippi
College, at Clinton, Mississippi,
where ne spent two years, after
(which he began teaching in the
public schools in the State during
vacation; he entered George
town College, this State, in 1898
to complete his education, and re-
ceived the A. M. Degree in 1902.
In 1902 when the Walton
Graded School wanted principal,
| Mr.. Dickey appeared before the
Board of Trustees SO we'll recon-
mended that the board employed
him over many other applicants,
and the very successful manner in
which he handled the school last
! year showed that no mistake was
made when his services we're
secured. Mr.. Dickey has been
employed for another year, and
the indications are that he will re-
ceive many pupils from beyond
the limits of the district.
/ Mr.. Dickey is a young man of
modest demeanor, an entertaining
conversationalist, and gentleman
possessed of great force Of char
acter. He takes great interest in
his profession, and the people of
Walton appreciate his efforts in
behalf of education in that local
ity, where his work for the past
year has borne much fruit.

Board Of Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors met
in regular monthly session Mon
day. Most of the time Monday
was spent in hearing delegations
from the several public schools Of
THE county on the question of in
|creasing the school tax levy suffi-
cient to extend the public school
term to 5 months.
The sentiment was practically
unanimous in favor of the increase.
To do this it is estimated that it
will require raise of the levy of
one mill. In addition to the pat
rons and trustees who were heard,
Profs. McLaurin, Afford, Nc
IAFpin, Williamson and other
teachers were called upon for ex-
pressions by the board and all
heartily favored the proposition.
The board is almost certain to act
favorably on the proposition,
Prof. z. B. Graves appeared be
fore the board on Monday morn
ling, as a member of a committed
lof the County Teachers Associa-
ton, and, on behalf of that organ
ization, strongly urged an increase
of the County Superintendent
salary to $500 per annum.
The board spent yesterday max
ing changes in land assessments
Changes of this nature and exami
nation and approval of the pei
sonal roll, fixing the tax levy ane
the usual routine business vii
keep the board busy all the week
