MILL INCREASE ITS CAPACITY.
BrOOkhaven Ice Manufacturing Getting
Ready to Improve Plant.

In a conversation with a report
er of The Leader yesterday, Mr..
q. W. Ard, manager Of the
Brookhaven Ice Mfg. Co., said
that the company had let the con-
tract for additional machinery for
the present plant to make the ca
pacity 40 tons per day. He also
said that there had been some talk
of the ice plant being moved from
its present location, but this will
not be done. The new machinery
will be installed and the present
plant thoroughly overhauled be-
fore another seasons business,
declared Mr.. Ard.
1t is also currently reported that
Messrs. S. E. Moreton and w. III.
Seavey will build a planning mill
and 50-ton ice plant about a mile
north of town near the brick yard.
With the new plant to be built
ty j. B. Nalty capacity sos tons
1.-The present ice company, 40
tons, and the proposed new plant
of Moreton & Seayey of SO tons,
making a total of 40 tons day,
Brookhaven can be assured Of
keeping pretty cool next summer,
with a probability of more ice for
the money than ever before.

JAIL DELIVERY THURSDAY NIGHT.
Four Desperate Prisoners Make Success.
ful Break for Liberty

-Four prisoners confined in the
county jail succeeded in making
their escape Thursday as night, fol
lows: Monroe Kirkfield, charged
with criminal assault; VIM. Brum-
held, attempted rape; Levi Rich
srdson, held for forgery, and VIM.
Duckworth, a self-confessed muir
Gerer.
he only white man in the lot
was Kirkfield, who has been twice
denied bail on the charge of Grim
inally assaultlng his own daugh-
ter, 4 girl of Is, at Bogue Chitto,
y few months ago. Duckworth
murdered Charley Walker, his
father-in-law, a few weeks ago,
and plead guilty to the crime be-
fore Justice Hoffman Wednesday
and was remanded to Jail without
the benefit of bail.
The esuape was effected by saw
ing in two two of the bars of the
main cage. and then climbing to
the cupola through the garret.
Once on the slate roof, they de-
scended to the ground by making
a rope of some of their blankets
which had been torR~and fastened
together.
This escape emphasizes what
The Leader has suggested several
times and what the grand jury
recommended nearly two years
ago-the Importance of the Board
OF Supervisors placing a secure
enclosure around the jail building.
As long as the Jail stands exposed
as it is, with every one who is so
inclined, privileged to 60 to the
door and windows and talk with
the inmates and pass anything in
to them from a private note to a
Winchester rifle, there can be on
" two things to long prevent the
escape Of any prisoner confined
there he must either be wholly
without any friends on the out
side willing to help him, or he
must be too good to try to get
away.

A Mississippian Solved the Problem.

1t is always a pleasure to note
the superiority of a Mississippian
along any kind of work, especial
ly when the work is in the line of
mental activity. Il is no small
compliment to himself and no in
significant honor to our State to
have such a man as B. M. Walker,
of Starkyille, solve problem in
mathematics that has puzzled men
since the days of Sir Issac New
ton. Prof. Walkers solution Of
The Resolution of Higher Singu-
larities of AIgebraic Curves into
Ordinary Double Points, 2 which
has been accepted BY the leading
authorities in the United States
places him at the head of the
mathematicians of the world, and
every man, woman and child in all
Mississippi should feel proud to
claim such man as their fellow
citizen. Dixie Press.
Prof. Walker is a native of Ok
|tibbeha county and has been a
member Of the faculty Of the A..
and M. College ever since his
graduation at that great institu-
ton. Truly q matter Of pride to
every Mississippian and source
Iof great qualification to- Prof.
Walker as well as his friends.

The Leader may add incidental
lly that Prof. Walker solved the
problem Of domestic happiness q
good many years ago by marrying

most cultured daughters Miss
Blanche White, and many old
Brookhaven friends S b a T q
her pride in the high distinction
won by her talented husband.

Important Notice from Supt. Green.

This method is taken to notify
the aldermen of the city of Brook
haven and all others interested
that Immediately after the passage
of the ordinance extending the
corporate limits of the city, sur
vey of this added territory should
have been made Immediately, and
an enumeration of the educable
children taken ard list of these
furnished to the State department
SO that in the State distribution
Brookhaven could receive the
amount to which she would be en-
titled. As the matter stands, the
county cannot pay for these chill
dren on transfers as heretofore
because they are no longer county
children.
This neglect will lose to the city
nearly enough money to pay for
one month of school.
Further, there is doubt in the
minds of some in a position to
know, as to whether, with the in
crease IN the corps of teachers and
other added necessary expense, it
will be possible to run the school
with the funds available. 1t is
possible that the time to take this.
enumeration has already expired,
but if this could be done in time
to- get the result in the county su-
perintendent's annual report, or
In FIVE days from this date, this
amount might be saved. The
minutes show that the mayor has
officially called the attention of
the board to this matter as has
also been done by the county su-
perintendent.
Therefore, should this amount
be lost to the town by neglect,
and thereby cripple or even en-
barrass the school authorities in
their efforts to materially increase
the efficiency of the public school
during the present term, the
Board of Aldermen will be solely
to blame. We are justly proud of
our city schools, as well as our
county schools, and none of them
must suffer. So be prompt in
this matter, gentlemen.
EDGAR GBEEN,
Supt. of Education.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1906-10-13
Political Charlatanisrn.

Discussing the demagogue in
politics the editor of the Century,
in che October number, says:
Every citizen. every voter, who
takes a part in advancing the selz
fish career of charIatan is doing
irteparable harm to the country
in his day and generation. Let
such citizen not excuse himself
on account of his devotion TO some
particular cause, which also the
charlatan pledges himself to sup
port. The good citizen should
think too highly of his cause to
wish to see its sacred banners
borne by impure hands. He
ought to be aware that the charla-
tan's support of some cause or
other Is absolutely necessary to
any sort of success at the polls.
For the political adventurer most
free-handed with his money knows
we'll enough that votes cannot be
secured by the distribution of
cash for expenses on large
enough scale to carry elections
over a wide territory, without
adding to the influence of money
the influence of a cause.
A citizen with any desire to be
counted among the good elements
of community should make him
self felt before the election, as far
as his influence may extend, in
the selection of candidates of char
acter, and on election day he
should discriminate among the
candidates with the same standard
in view. Above all, he ought to
do his best endeayor to keep from
being made either tool or a fool
|of.
There is wisdom and good ad-
vice contained in the foregoing,
and it will be well for MISSISSIPPI
plans to take. it to heart and put
it in practice.

Snubbed Negro Lawyer.

Washington, Sept. 28. Because
the attorney who sought to cross
examine her was a negro Miss
Anna p. Thomas, said to be a
cousin of President Roosevelt, re-
fused to answer his questions and
was adiudged to be in contempt
by Judge MuIIoway in police
court today. A fine of $40 was
Imposed. Miss Thomas was a
witness in the case of Frank w.
Roberts, charged with cruelty to
animals. She took the stand and
told that she had seen Roberts
without provocation administer
extreme punishment to his horse.
When she concluded her story
Attorney Kicks, representing the
defendant, asked her question.
Il refuse to answer questions
asked by that darkey," said Miss
Thomas, turning to Judge Mpllo-
way.
The court, however, was IN
sympathetic, and replied: He
isn't darkey. He is an Ameri-
can citizen and member of the
bar. He is defending this man
and has a right to ask you ques-
TONS
II refuse to answer a negro, z
she insisted.
lyon must answer,'' replied
the court.
Il won't answer the question,
even for you, volunteered the
witness.
You are fined $40. in default
of which | will commit you to Jail
for two days"
| Miss Thomas paid the fine, and
as she left the court room she
laughed at the incident. The
case against Roberts was dismiss
ed. Special Dispatch to Balti-
more Sun.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1906-10-13

gave the word Forward let
there be none now decline to
come.
There is but one woman to.
whom the troop will give place
upon this occasion, Miss Emma
Samson, the girl who piloted Gen.
Forrest during his pursuit of
Streight. A led horse, suitably
caparisoned and saddled with a
woman's saddle, will be placed
near the head of the column in
her honor.
The widows, wives and daugh-
ters of all old Forrest Veterans
are cordially invited to come, to
whom SPECIAL honor and respect
will be shown.

and Railroad avenue were bril-
lliantly illuminated with strings of
lincandescent lights and showed off
to advantage our broad thorough
fares and handsome new strnc-
ltures and improvements in the
principal business part of our
city. The only regret was that
several of our most prominent
houses were not represented in
the procession, their floats having
been ruined by the floods of last
week. There were twenty seven
floats, as follows:
The Progressive Union, G.
Heuck & Son. Brookhaven Furni-
ture Co., Moreton- Wentworth
Co., G. B. Perkins, G. A. Kerl,
Commercial Bank, Underwriters
Agency, b. f. Muncy, East
Union Lumber Co., The Leader,
Merchants Grocery Co., Brook
haven Ice Factory, Cumberland
Telephone Co., t. H. Perkins
Furniture Co., Brookhaven Ice
Factory-pop department, Pearl

Price Drug Co., New York Rack
ct, Brookhaven Woodmen, Just
Struck Town." j. M. Wood, Car
penters' Union, 1913, John Nc
Grath & Sons, F. B. Noodle, and
"Just Pull Together the Pro-
gressive Union.
The parade was headed by a
squad of mounted police, followed
by carriage containing officers
of the Progressive Union, the
Woodmen band, then the Stone
wall Guards in full uniform, and
the floats.
The parade was undoubtedly a
brilliant success. Many OF the
floats were tasteful and imposing
beyond the most discriminating
leye, and it is temptation to give
Especial mention. It is safe to say
that inspired by the success of
this first carnival parade, Brook
haven will go forward with still
Igreater assurance at the next
Ieffort in this direction. Every
citizen wanted to throw up his hat
in recognition of our resourceful
town and our wide-awake, enter
prising people. We could only
wish that our thousands of antlci-
pated visitors for the Friday pre-
vious, could have been with US on
Wednesday night.
Secretary Curtis, of the Pro.
1gressive Union, deserves unstint.
led praise for his efforts on behalf
|of our town. There is still much
of latent talent and energy in
Brookhaven, awaiting its time and
circumstance to awaken in new
triumph and honor for our towr
and people.
