A New York judge has decid-
ed that it is lawful for a woman
to rifle her husbands pocket
while he is asleep, provided
she is little short. Recently
a young man had his wife ar
rested for petit larceny. and in
his complaint he alleged that
while he was reveling in the
land of pleasant dreams his
spouse relieved him of what
ccin she could find concealed
in his wearing apparel. In fact,
she did not leave enough
medium of exchange where
with to purchase an eye-opener

marking that a wife had per-

TEACHERS.

I wish to say through The News
to those teachers who are still looking
for an early payment Of their first and
second months school reports that
there is no money remaining in the
treasury at present.
We had only small amount that
accrued from the collection Of polls
and . mill levy-quite insufficient to
pay all the first months reports, and
as these collections are deposited
monthly with the treasurer, we cannot
hope for any more funds until January.
1t is deplorable, to say the least,
that teachers must wait SO long for
their pittance, and this notice is
given to prevent any unnecessary
trips through the mud to Brandon.

farmer to put his name down, pledR-
ing himself to deliver to some central
point SO many bales. at an early date,
to be burnt by committee composed
Of all contributors. Garry another
list with you to put down the names
Of those who have cotton and refuse
to burn their part, and do not be
discouraged by the names you will
get on this list. Remember there
are men in every community who
will act the dog, and you must not
let these keep you from doing good
turn for yourself, and also for your
country. Where there are men who
have cotton and won't burn, there are
patriotic business men who will have
none, but will buy some and burn it.
The president of bank told me that
he would buy and burn at least ten
bales and probably more, and there
are many more who will do the
same thing.
The bears claim that it is impossible
for us to unite and act together for
our protection; they sneeringly
remark that we are not even intel.
ligent, and that we are suspicious of
each other. This is an insult. There
are not a braver, or more self -sacri.
ficing body Of men to be found any
where in the world, and I believe
there are. enough patriotic men among
them today who ale willing to sacri-
flee themselves, if necessary, and See
to it that we do get together this one
time, if for nothing more than to
burn out the bear-weevil, which is a
far more dangerous vermin than the
much talked of boll-weevil. We are
not without friends in the business
world. I judge from the published
letter of W. P. Brown, the great cot
ton merchant of New Orleans, that he
stands ready and willing to help us,
and ii we burn a million bales he
will undoubtedly be able to do much
for our cause. He states In his open
letter that 'Cotton in the neighbor-
hood of 10 cents is not high as
compared to the price of other
commodities, and that is the price
it would bring today were it not for
the estimated surplus and the bears.
In conclusion, I would like to say
that while am civil engineer by
profession, and practice it, I am
interested in farming because I like it
and find it profitable. My entire busi-
ness life has been spent in trying to
develop the resources of the south,
and I appreciate most keenly what a
curse low price cotton is to the south.
would not for any consideration
advocate policy to tear down and
destroy, and I claim that this is SIM
ply heroic and drastic remedy for a
great evil, the existence of which is
most unnatural and destructive in its
work.
l, therefore, urge you to take coun-
sci among yourselves and act promptly.
Every man should be "a law unto
HIMSELF where it is question Of
self-sac1ifice and duty. Let this
guide yoa, and not the sneers Of your
selfish neighbor, or the threats of
the bears.
On my farm there were grown
forty two bales Of cotton, all but s
bales having been marketed, but
these will cheerfully burn. I am
not interested in cotton, except in
the 8 bales above referred to.

Innis escorted his prisoners to the
depot and got them aboard the train
in spite Of the crowd Of the friends
Of the dead man, Mangum, who
seemed determined to take summary
evengeance.
There Is great deal Of excitement
in the little town over the killing.
The trouble has been brewing some
time-ever since Miss Fleming, the
young lady assistant went on moon
light picnic with a crowd Of young
folks. Dirty stories were circulated
about her, and serious trouble was
narrowly averted at the time. A por.
tion Of the citizenship sided with the
principal Of the school, Woodward,
whose wife had chaperoned the Pic
nickers, the others with the won an
who charged her with conduct un be-
coming lady, and social relations
have been badly strained ever since.
A few days ago Woodward whipped a
son of Mangum's, and the old man
and his friends got mad about it.
Last Saturday Woodward was given a
beating by Mangum and his friends
an affair that was witnessed by
Sheriff Mc1nnis and a lawyer from
jackson who happened to be on the
train at the time.
When the sheriff arrived at Magee
Friday after the killing Of Mangum
and the serious woundlng Of Wood
ward, lie found the town in terrible
state Of excitement. It was feared
that there was going to be lynching,
wherefore the sheriff procured two
brand new double -barrelled shot guns
and took his stand over the accused.
There was no demonstration at night,
but when he started on the trip to
Jackson the friends of Mangum con.
gregated about the depot and the sheI-
iff was forced to use some very posi-
tive language to enforce the peace.
It shows what one brave man can do.
The mob stood back at his command
and at his threat to use his gun on
the first man who attempted any
devilment or movement on his pris-
oners. They are now safe in the
Jackson Jail, charged with completely
Woodward having been with his
brother when the killing occurred.
