The old halberd was no doubt
lost on the march. but whether il
was broken and thrown away in
battle. captured by an Indian, or
lost overheard in crossing the river,
none shall ever know; but it is here
now as a memento Of the first entry
Of white man into this part Of the
United States, and q relic of the
most gallant and imposing expedi-
ton, for the rank and wealth Of
those engaged in it and the magnif-
icence Of its equipment, that had
ever set foot in the New World.
DeSoto went into camp for the
winter in what is now Pontotoc
county, and the remains of his in
trenchments were in evidence few
years ago and may possibly be still
visible. In April. 1541, he con-
tinued his march to the northwest
until he reached what is now De
Soto county, where he turned due
west and came out upon the bluffs
overlooking the Mississippi, which
he here saw for the first time.
With his crossing Of the river and
his wanderings in Arkansas, this
article has nothing to do. He re-
turned to the river, but historians
differ as to whether his death &C.
Cured at the mouth of the Arkan-
sas or of the St. Francis. No good
resulted to Spain from his exposi-
ton; no galleons loaded with gold
and precious jewels, nor any Of the
magnificent cities he proposed to
build. The Spaniards seem ever to
have been poor colonists and una
bic to hold permanently the lands
which they claimed by right of dis
covery.
Some contend that the old hal
berd found in the edge of the Tom
bigbee, was lost by the French un-
der Bienville, nearly 200 years later,
but the evidence is all to the con-
trary. the Spaniards, in De Soto's
time, were using fire arms to linn

found the halberd and pike very
unsuitable weapons to carry through
the tangled forest and very made
quate for fighting Indians, who shot
their arrows from behind trees and
other shelter, and who could throw
the tomahawk and knife with the
skill of japanese juggler. When
Bienville, in 1876, brought his
forces up the Tombigbee and on up
to what is now Pontotoc county, to
fight and be defeated by the British
and Chickasaws strongly intrenched
at Ackia (not many miles from De
Soto's old winter camp, the hal
berd must have been entirely super
seeded by firearms and not used at
all by the French of that date.
The old weapon is now in the law
office of Leftwhic & Tubb of Aber-
deem, but is owned by Mr.. l. II.
Hunt, who found it in the river.

Mrs f. w Foote in New Orleans Times-Demo
crat
Some months ago a gentleman
of Monroe county, Mississippi while
fishing in the Tom bigbee, about two
miles south of Aberdeen, found in
the edge of the river, partially i'm
bedded in the soft clay, an old Span
ish halberd There is a peculiar
interest in this find, because there
is little doubt that it is a relic Of
the expedition Of fernando de Soto,
then on his way, unconsciously, to
the discovery of the mighty river SO
closely associated with his name.
There Is no remnant of the wooden
handle, the metal is heavily en-
crusted with rust, and the once keen
edges have worn away, but the form
of the weapon is well preserved and,
when struck against a hard SUBJ
stance, the steel rings almost as true
"a when it left the armorer's hand
more than three hundred years ago.
1t has the spear point on top, bat
tleaxe on one side and a curved
knife on the other, reminding one
of the ancient instructions to the
halberdier in training, who was
taught that If the axe stroke should
fail, to repair his mistake with a
prompt thrust with the piked head. 7"
The halberdier who once carried
this old weapon through the wilder
ness must have been a follower of
De Soto, who, after his disastrous
victory at Mauvilla, Alabama, Oc-
tober, 1910, penetrated to the wilds
of what is now Northeast Mississip-
pi, on that long march which ended
in his death on the banks of the
great river and his burial in its wa
tiers. With his army much weak
ened by his losses at Mauvila and
constantly harrassed by the savages,
De Soto's tour of discovery from
this time until his death was an un-
happy one The fact that he had
left twenty-five hundred dead In
dams on the field was small COM
pensation for the loss of eighty-two
men and forty horses and all his
stores. After this battle he march
ed northward from Mauvila, cross
ing the Black Warrior above its
junction with the Tombigbee, then
going northwest, he crossed the
Tombigbee in Alabama and entered
what is now Mississippi, in latitude

THE BURDEN OF UTAH.

Utah is strong and staunch State,
ambitious to gain a high place In the
world, gifted with resources unparal-
leled, with a history which should
sanctify her for an exalted future. She
is better known than any other one OF
the young States, she has more fixed
population, she has more solidity of
wealth. and her destiny should be the
highest OF all.
What Is the burden that Utah carries
which holds her back in her struggles
to attain pre-emlnence2 IL Is the domi
mating influence In her civilization.
And that influence is the power of the
Mormon hierarchy-the weight OF
Smithism and Smootism. Under these
burdens she swcats and tolls. under
these burdcnS-cruel unjust, arbitrary.
uncompcnsating-s labors on toll
somely and wearily toward the shin
ing heights, Unto Smoot has been
given much and unto Smith has been
given more by this devoted Utah. In
stead OF aiding her ascent into the
realms of grandeur, these two weight
her down and retard her every foot
step.
Once let her cast off the burden and
the cords with which she Is oppressed
and bound. and Utah will go forward
as no other State in the Union. Her
cities, her population, her visible
wealth, are twenty years behind her
great natural resources and the knowl-
edge of them which is possessed by
thoughtful men. she can gain that
twenty years within the next five If she
can be rid OF Smithism and Smootlsm.
The best boost that her people can
give would be to boost Smith off
Utah's back. The next best thing her
people could do would be to unloose the
cords with which Smith binds her fate
to the fortunes OF an migrate son who
wills that she should perish rather
than that he should lose the object of
his cruel ambition.

AT THEIR WORD.

A correspondent over the signature
wv" pays his compliments to the shifty
editor OF the Deseret News in COM
munlcation appearing in another part
OF this paper, The writer. wv" knows
the Mormon system thoroughly and
evidently he knows Apostle Penrose.
And he is not alone In that knowledge;
for hundreds OF other Mormons have
come to comprehension Of the drivel-
ling idiocy and the mendacity of the
plea made by the News that ''unques-
tioning obedience" is not eXacted from
the Mormon people. "Unquestioning
obedience" is all there is to the system.
Take that away and nothing is left.
"Obey the priesthood In all things.
great and small" is the whole doctrine
and teaching In a nutshell In the
picturesque language of Joseph L,
Smith it IS the kernel in the nut"
Except for this teaching of "unques-
tioning obedience" would the Mormon
mass be subservient in the payment of
two million dollars per year for the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the hierarchy, and
with no accounting to the contributors?
Except for this, would they support
defiant lawbreakers and jeopardize
their own highest rights as citizens of
this country? Except for this. would
they proclaim that the best men In the
world are the chief lawbreakcrs of this
community?
Some day a large segment of the
Mormon mass will take the hierarchy
at their word and will cease to pay
"unquestionlng obedience" and will
cease to be reasonable to this Repub-
lie; and then that segment will be ex-
comm anicated for un-Christlanlike con-
duct In not rendering 'unquestioning
obedience"
