The Police Court.

Yes sir, he stole thousand
dollar pOlisher. "
Mayor Gunter. who was ques
tfoning a negro witness in the
police court Monday morning,
I6oked astounded and stopped to
wipe his glasses before he re
piled: That must have been
pretty handsome polisher, was it
set with diamonds"
No sab. it was just paper
polisher, but it was worth one
thousand dollars, said the
Woman, with an emphatic shake
of the head.
Further interrOgatorieS and a
word or two Of explanation by a
policeman revealed the fact that
the polisher' referred to was an
insurance policy which was held
by the witness, whose name was
Mollie Summerville, on the life
of her dead hus band. This pol
icy, together with pocketbOok
containing S1.25, was stolen from
the Summerville woman by two
young negro bucks named Will
Harris and Fred Jones. Both
these negroes bear unsavory
regulations. Harris has just
finished working out a sentence
on the streets and Jones has of
ten been before Mayor Gunter
on various charges. He has a
young wife whom he has desert
ed and is considered an all-rOund
tough character.
A thorough investigation of the
case developed the fact that the
negroes had not only stolen the
pocketbook and made away with
the insurance policy but tn.
Jones had made an effort to cut
Harris with a knife. He was
therefore given the limit under
the city ordinances, which is a
$4,000 fine and thirty days on the
streets. Harris was sentenced
to pay a fine of $500 and to
serve fifteen days on the streets.
After the above case had been
concluded Jones was tried under

Cannon Acquitted.

J. T. Cannon, who shot and
killed Mr.. Pete Hearon, former
resident of this city, at Green
wood a little more than a year
ago, was acquitted in the circuit
court of Leflore county last Mon
day. The trial of the case was
oegun about the middle of the
preceding week. the defendant
having been repre- scented by
Messrs. Gardner & Mcclure
while District Attorney Sam
Neil and Mr.. z. P. Landrum, of
this city, looked after the inter
ests of the prosecution. This
was the second trial of the case.
and the people of LefiOre county
were very familiar with the cir
cum stances surrounding the kill
ing, so that some trouble was ex-
perienced IN securing a jury.
A1tC4 IAC Jul nd0 DCCn 20 bulL~
ed, however, the taking of testi-
mony progressed rapidly and
the case was given to the jury
early Monday afternoon. After
having been out only a short
time that body returned a yer
dict of not guilty.
The news of Cannon s acquit-
tai was received with a general
feeling of regret and dissatisfac-
ton in this city. 1t is known
that the murder was uDjustifa-
BILE, as Cannon had no excuse on
earth for killing Mr.. Hearon. A
distinguished jurist was heard to
declare not long ago that human
life was the cheapest commodity
in Mississippi, and the outcome
of the Cannon trial seems to YER
ify the declaration.

The formal opening of the Kav-

afternoon calls to mind the splen-
did work that was accomplished
by the Progressive Union when
that body was an attractive or
ganization, and leads THE DIS
PATCH to suggest and urge that
the Union be revived and that
the officers enter at once upon
a vigorous campaign with the
view of inducing the owners of
mills, factories and other enter
prises of various kind and char
acter who contem plate seeking
new locations, to come to COlum-
bus. Not only the Kavanaugh
Knitting Mills but number of
other large manufacturing en-
terpriSes were induced to come
to Columbus through the efforts
of the Progressive Union. and if
the organization is revived

The IbIe Reading Contest.

THE DISPATCH is striving con
stantly to increase its subScrip
ton list. One of the plans hit
upon was to secure the names of
people coming into this city, peo-
pie moving away and people who
formerly lived here and who
know Columbus and feel an in
terest in the doings and happen
ings of this place. By soliciting
these people to become subscrib
ers, a large number will take the
paper as the result of our pres
ent canvass shows.
But to get the names that was
the question. Accordingly we
com bined the possibility of re
ward with the task of furnishing
US names and they have been
pouring in. Last week 5 paper
contained a verse from the Bible
and we offered dollar reward to
the boy or girl who first guessed
the book, chapter and verse from
which it was taken. Since the
verse appeared the tiny en-
velopes have been floating into
this Office and they have been re
corded in the order in which
they have come. The first cor
rect guess will be announced
next Sunday morning with the
name of the winner.
Sunday morning a History
Lesson will be given, so rub up
on your histories that you may
win the prize.

FEEDING SHEEP TO MARKET
The Too literal Use of Grain Makes the Margin of rfoht foo
