Death Of Geolge EiteI to be INVESTIGATED.

The Times Democrat Of Mon
day contained The following from
its staff correspondent in Wash
lngton in regard to George Eitel,
whose death was recently officially
announced in The Leader by the
Department Of State:
The Secretary of State has in
formed Representative McLain
that be has instructed the Ameri-
can consul general at the City Of
Panama to report the circum-
stances connected with the death
of George Eitel, which occurred
January 10 last at Ancon, canal
zone. Mr.. EiteI was an engineer
of the Panama Railroad Company,
and his relatives live at Brookha-
ven, Miss. 2

The Death Penalty Should be imposed.

The Legislature should not fail
to pass the amendment to the
present law, imposing capital pun
ishment for attempted rape, as
well as for the actual commission
of the crime. The extreme limit
of the law for attempt at rape now
is only 10 years in the penitentia-
ry. The brute in human form
who attempts such an act, but is
thwarted by some unforeseen fact
or circumstance, is just as much a
criminal by nature as if he had
succeeded. Common sense and
public sentiment so regard blm,
and be ought to suffer the death
penalty. Negroes are lynched
Rftenera If anything, for attempt
rape than for the crime itself,
and this Is no doubt due mainly to
the generally recognized fact that
the punishment under the present
law is not adequate to the offense.

Butler PROXY Case Before the Supreme
Court Once More.

Arguments were concluded be-
fore Che Supreme Court last eve
ming in the celebrated Butler
PROXY case, from the Chancery
Court of franklin county, lnyolv-
ing the disappearance of county
funds amounting to So, ,203. 81.
Butler is the former treasurer
Of the county, while PROXY was
the sheriff and tax collector dur
ing the same period. The con-
troversy developed over the sum
above named which PROXY claims
that be paid over to Butler, and
the. latter contends that be never
received it.
The disappearance of the money
occurred just prior to the white
capper troubles ID Franklin, and
political bitterness and factional-
ism is more or less mixed up ID
the litigation. Prominent attor-
Ineys were engaged 10 The argu-
ments before the Supreme Court,
among them being Hon. Theo.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

The Leader believes it would be
the part of wisdom and intelligent
foresight for the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen of this city,
or some other responsible body of
its citizens and property holders
called to consider the subject, to
secure the passage Of a bill while
the Legislature is in session which
would enable the city, in certain
not impossible contingencies, to
increase the bonded indebtedness
beyond the Z per cent. limit now
prescribed by the Code Chapter
on Municipalities. If some Sc
rious accident or unforeseen loss
should occur to the city's water
and light plant with no legal au-
thority to make good the loss by
another issue of bonds, it would
work inestimabIe inconvenience
and loss to our people who are
now SO wholly dependent upon
the water and light furnished by
the city. Indeed, the necessity
for duplicate machinery at the
power house has already been SEN
sibIy realized at times. What
would it be, if a sure enough
break down should occur?
With the completion of the
Mississippi Central Railroad to
Brookhaven during the next few
months and the continually in
creasing demand upon the present
plant, an increase in the capacity
of the plant and renewal of
machinery will become imperative
in the near future, and these de-
mands can't be met unless addi-
tional provision is made by law
for the necessary expense. Then
there will soon be urgent demand
for sewerage and better paved
streets which must be provided
for.
jackson, Columbus, Biloxi and
other growing cities of the State
are providing for future improve
ments and emergencies by getting
special acts through the Legisla-
ture, and The Leader hopes to see
Brookhaven do likewise. If any
thing is done, it cannot be much
longer delayed. 1t is hoped the
matter will be taken up and con-
sidered by the Mayor and Board
of Aldermen at their-meeting next
Tuesday night, or a meeting of
the property holders be called for
this purpose.

Miss Mary MOreton Dead.

This fair young girl, beautiful
in character as in person, answer
ed to the cali of the Death.angeI
at the home of her parents, Capt.
and Mrs. a. E. Moreton, on
Thursday morning at 8 o'clock.
About seven weeks ago she was
suddenly stricken; was taken to
New Orleans for treatment; re-
turned home improved physically
and most cheerful and hopeful
then died, when human aid could
go no further. Every means that
could he used were sought to full
ly restore her; but all failed and
Gods will relgns.
Death could not have chosen. a
mortal life more beautiful and
symmetrical. This young woman,
nursed 10 the lap Of luxury, with
every favor and wind of fortune
to bear to her social distinction,
with its worldly pleasures and un-
needing frivolities, voluntarily
chose to devote her life to her
God and her church, and lived a
model Christian life in al1sthat
that term implies. It is, thefs-
fore, unnecessary to enumerate
the bright virtues Of her being.
As memories quicken, since she
has gone away, it seems she must
have known how brief her life
would be and fastened to fill its
chalice to- the brim, with glowing
Jewels all for Him. Faithful to
every duty, rejoicing in hope,
patient in tribulation, steadfast to
The end Death crowned her for
the palace Of the King. 1T is
well with the child"
The pent1up grief of the bereav-
ed family circle is too deep-to
saered-for the most sympathetic
pen to touch. What consolation
What joy to know that There is
a land Of pure delight, where
saints immortal reign" and that
the beloved dead was fitted for
moth hing so perfectly as for the
companionship of the Celestial
hosts.
"She died in beauty; like rose blown from the
parent stem;
She died in beauty, like pearl dropped from
some diadem;
She ditd in beauty, like a lay along moonlit
lake.:
She died.in beauty like the song of birds amid
the brake;
She died in beauty, like the snow on flowers
dissolved away;
She died in beauty, like a star lost on the brow
day;
She lives in glory, like nights gems set round
the liver moon;
She lives in glory. like the sun amid the blue q
June.''
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the Moreton homestead
by Miss Mary's pastor, Rev. G.
Fl. Thompson, who paid sincere
tribute to her lnestlmable life.
Mr.. Thompson was assisted by
Rev. w. E. Phifer and Rev. r. I'll.
Purser, local pastors. An i'm
mense concoursc of friends attend
ed the funeral and we doubt if
there ever were in Brookhaven
such elegant and beautiful tributes
Of love expressed in flowers.
From the Epworth League, the
Missionary Society, the Kings
Daughters, her Sunday School
class and scores of others, friends
and organizations, came these
pure offerings, so symbolic Of the
life gone Out.
The wlite casket was tenderly
borne to llosehill, and the grave

In the death of Mrs. Chloe Ownby,
which occurred at her home in this
city last Sunday morning, there
passed out of this life one of the
noblest of women.
Mrs. Ownby was native of Sum-
ner County, having been born there
in 1926, therefore little more than
70 years ago. Her father, Jos. r.
Boyles, was soldier in the war of
1872. Mrs. Ownby's husband, Jas.
p. Ownby, whose death occurred
about six years ago, was born in
Robertson County and served as a
Confederate soldier and captain in
the Civil War.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ownby settled in
Union City soon after the war. Mr..
ownby was proprietor Of q foun-
dry and machine shops here and
members of the family filed inn
portant stations in the city.
Born Of pioneer parents, Mrs.
Ownby inherited those sterling
traits of character which, coupled
with culture and Christian environ
ments, admirably fitted her life
work. She became a member of
the Methodist Church when girl
and lived steadfast in the faith, and
when the summons of the Master
came she was ready and answered
that she was prepared for the re-
ward of those who live Christian
lives. She left her children the rich
heritage of a beautiful life filled
with good deeds.
Mrs. 0wnby had been an invalid
for several months, and when the
end approached she was calmly re-
signed, passing peacefully into the
arms of sleep.
The family surrounded her in the
hour Of dissolution.
She is survived by the following
children: William, of Texarkana,
