Dangers of
Defective Plumbing

Defective plumbing permits,
the entrance into the house
of sewer gas bearing germs or
contagious disease to which
the human system readily
succumbs .:
Sewer gas is not necessarily
generated in the sewer, but
is frequently created in the
plumbing system within the
home and enters the apart
ments through defective fix
lures. If in doubt, consult us
regarding the piping and re-
pairing defective fixtures with
''STANDARD" Porcelain En-
ameled Ware, acknowledged
as the best sanitary equip
ment.

Blodgett Interviewed

Mr.. John W. Blodgett was in
Leakesville last week looking after
his timber interests.
Mr.. Blodgett stated to the HERALD
that the report that there had been
a meeting of the timber Owners at
Harrisburg was incorrect SO far as he
knew; at any rate, he had not attend
ed any such meeting and did not be
lieve that one had been held. Such
a meeting he said would be of no a.
vail, because the conditions surround
ing the down timber is so different
in each locality that concerted action
is not possible.
Mr.. Bledgett stated that it was
his expectation to save only that por-
tion of his down timber that was
easily accessible. He would not at
tempt to put it generally on the mar
ket or do anything which would tend
to demoralize the present favorable
conditions of the lumber trade.
Mr.. Blodgett could give no details
as to his plans because he had not
yet completed them. He stated that
he wanted to look his timber over
quite thoroughly and cover the entire
situation before making any definite
arrangements.

EBITR Things have
happened since last you heard from
me.
Tho storm came leaving destruc-
ton IN its path which by the way
was very wide path.
The principal damage through this
part of the county, of course was the
destruction of the pineries, but it
did lot of damage to houses and
killed many cattle, sheep and hogs
and again, on the fifth of October, a
cyclone struck through here blowing
down eight houses in Luccdale and
ranging in a North Easterly direc-
ton but no damage was heard of aft
er it passed that place.
On Saturday night last a negro
was swung to telegraph pole in
Lucedale by unknown parties.
1t seemed that he was an escaped
convict from the dummy Railroad
and had made his way to Lucedale
or vicinity with the shackles still on
him and there signed his death war
rant of his own free will and was
dealt with accordingly. No names
were given me either of the negro or
the injured parties nor any of the
particulars of the capture and o.
course none of the lynching.

tion convened at Rocky Greek Church

An Important Amendment

Clarion Ledger
Section Ga of the Constitution for
bids an appropriation of money from
the State treasury except by the
votes of a majority of all the m'm
bers elected to the two houses of the
legislature
Section 66 prohibits donation ex
cept by the votes of two-thirds of the
members of eac. house present,
meaning of course, that two-thirds
should equal the majority elected to
each house. Otherwise money could
be givcl way more easily than it
could be applied to the purposes for
which it was raised by taxation
could be Incorporated more easily
then properly appropriated.
Notwithstanding this plain mean
ing of the constitution the Legislature,
at it's last session donated money by
votes much less in number required
to appropriate to the support oil
the State, ana it is claimed that this
absurd view was approved by the
Judges of the Supreme Court. This is
incredible, but if true, it was simply
done hastily and unconsidcrately anC
can never receive the sanction OF the
learned court on consideration.
The Legislature proposed an amend
ment to the constitution 10 make i
impossible for any legislature here
after to give money by a less number
of votes than a majority of al elected
to both houses. That amendment
is to be voted on at the Novembe
eletion and suely every voter wh'
understands the matter will vote TO
it and thus prevent hereafter giving
money away by fewer votes than car
appropriate it to the necessary pun
poses of government.
1t is true that the constitution
properly interpreted, is now wha
the amendment will make it, but a
it has been misunderstood and mis-
applied, it is important that the elec
tors shall vote for the amendment
so none can hereafter be so stup;t
as to misunderstood it.
1t is hoped that editors Of all news
papers will attention to it, and tina
the party managers in every count.
will urge voters to support tn
amendment.

OBITUARY.
Stella Mcleod

Died at her home on Kuhlman Hill,
Boerne, Tex, Oct. 10th, 11:30 p. m.
She came in the early summer with
loving sister and anxious mother in
hopes of regaining her lost health
through the pure air of this climate
but each day greM weaker until like
the summer flowers she dropped and
withered.
A true and devoted christian kind,
loving and patient with all. She was
a member of the Presbyterian
Church, having gave her heart to
God in early childhood.
We mourn her not as one dead but
rejoice in knowing that she is in
Heaven.
The remains we're shipped to the
old home in Leakesville, Miss, where
they we're entered in the family Gem
etery.
The many friends who accompa-
MED the grief stricken relatives
to the station expressed most
earnest sympathy.
She came to us this summer,
With the first refreshing shower;
All watched the grace and beauty,
OF the pale and delicate flower.
Each day she grew weaker and
weaker,
And our hearts with grief were
panied,
When we knew that her life must
be severed,
From the many friends she had
gained.
We thot of her of a snowdrop,
Hel. loving WAYS did so allure
That she m lde us think of an ange
She was so good and so pure.
AS rare and delicate blossom,
She was loved and cherished by all,
And not unlike the sweet blossoms,
For her there came the fall.
For It's but law of nature, that
Four seasons in each year come.
In the spring God gives us sweet
fioweretts- ~
In the fall he takes them home.
It's so hard to refrain from asking
"Why her, and not some of the
rpst?" t~
But we know how when we plnck
roses,
We choose the purest, sweetest and
best.
Then look at it as He would view
it
We should not MOURN but rejoice,
For we know that Stella S in Heav-
an,
Is it not sweet to be Gods choice?
Let us then begin life over.
With this our aim and our prayer
That when from this world God
calls us,
Wen all meet with our angel up
there
A BoERNE FRIEND.

There ) entirely too much promis-
cious shooting of firearms about our
city. This is strictly forbidden by
the Ordinances of our Village, but
seems to be regarded as a dead letter
law by the majority of those who
like to hear the crack of a gun. Upon
opening and cleaning up the HERALD
printery Monday morning, one of the
force found a fiattened bullet lying in
a heap of shattered glass by win
dow which showed a pane with a
gaping hole and many cracks. Such
reckless discharge of deadly weapons
within the business center at least of
our town should be restricted. Many
Il life has been lost in the his tory of
the country by just such random
shooting. We favor a rigid enforce
ment of the law or else its inmedi-
ate rescindment. A fine imposed
upon few of the too. careless shoot
ers would tend to nip in the bud
such misdemeanors, for they are moth
ing else, when the law so plainly de-
clares against it.

HOME.

What is home, Home is, or should
be, the happiest place on earth, but,
there are few such homes. If there
were only more, we think there would
be less drinking, gambling, stealing,
numbering, and certainly there would
not be as many tramps as there are
uow days.
If father, motheI, sister, brother,
would each remember that it depends
upon them to make home happy, how
much better-it would be. But many
a careless word spoken has wounded
the hearts of the whole household.
What is home without sunshine?
Can any of you answer these ques-
tons?
Do you blame the young man for
not wanting to spend his evenings
at home when, upon entering the
house, some one will commence find
ing fault?

The Biloxi Review dominates Col
onel E. L. Russell, of Alabama, but
a native born Mississippian, as the
Democratic Nominee for President.
Col. Russell is an estimable gentle
man. a splendid Railroad operator
and legal Counsellor, and Alabama
Statesman, but in no other state
where Democracy holds sway, with
the tenet now appended to our BAN
ner against Railroad Association,
would his name for a minute be ser
iously considered as Presidential tim
Der, though it was deemed expedient
to select the party's Candidate from
the South. In order to legislate
Railroad Corporations, this IS time
when Railroad attorneys and officials
will have to stand back as POSSIBLE
ties from our party's selection.
