BROOKHAvEN's NEED.

From time to time The Leader
has spoken of the Importance to
Brookhaven of organizing and
maintaining a good business league
or commercial club. 1t matters
very little what it is called, so it
is composed of wide-awake bust
ness men and others who feel an
interest in the city's growth and
advancement along all legitimate
lines. There has never been a
time in the history of our city
when well organized business
league could accomplish so much
for the city's growth as now, or
when the necessity was so urgent.
The Leader would suggest that
some of our young business men
take the initiative in the. matter in
a practical way and see what can
be done. In addition to a men,
bership composed of our principal
business men and most public
spirited citizens, 1T is all-impor-
tant that some regular system of
monthly dues or assessments be
provided and a capable and wide
awake secretary employed on a
salary for all of his time. Such a
secretary, with the suggestions and
assistance received from the other
officers and members, would be
able, in due time, to draw many
new industries and business enter
pFises to Hrookhayen which would
otherwise never come.
With the early completion of
the Mississippi Central Railroad
through Brookhaven to Natchez
an assured fact, with the new rail
read connection Broekhaven will
soon have through the Goodyear
Railroad and possibly hth-,, ors o,,r
city will offer ada, adyantooes 1,T, ~ ,an1 Uu.
ways scarcely dreamed of a few
years ago, and which have only to
be properly presented to those
seeking homes and desirable man
ufacturing and business locations,
to lndaee them to cast their for
tunes among us.
By all means let US have a good
organization by some name, to
work and pull together for Brook
haven's future up-building.

Lincoln County Teachers Association.

Last Saturdays meeting of the
Lincoln County Teachers Asso-
citation called forth the usual large
attendance.
The meeting was opened with
a prayer by Prof. L. P. Scott.
The first subject for discussion
was Education and Public Senti-
ment-How to Crystalize Public
Sentiment Into Definite Action. "
The County Superintendent
Duty" in relation to this ques-
tion Was ably discussed by Super
intendeEt Edgar Green. The
Teachers Duty" the next phase
of the. question, was clearly and
understandingly set forth by Mr..
A. Green.
Opportunity for expressing
their views on the above subject
was given the other members of
the association, and helpful re-
marks were made by Prof. Nc
Kee, Prof. Williams and others.
In reply to the question, why
Should | Spend Ny Money for
Professional Reading, Attendance
ou Teachers Associations and
Attendance on Normals?" Messrs.
4. G. Hodges and H. E. Groves
gave interesting and satisfactory
answers.
Misses Annie Blue and Aileen
McNair each contributed a piano
solo, which added much to the
mornings pleasure.
1t was regretted that several
numbers ON the program had to
be omitted for unavoidable causes,
among others, the "AnnOal In.
come of Teachers as Compared
With That of Other Classes" by
Hon. M. Mccullough.
Superintendent Green made an
earnest request that the schools OF
the county send in exhibit work
which will be exhibited on Field
Day, and later forwarded to Jack
son in time for the State Teach
ers' Association.
Arrangements for several beat
contests we're made. Matters
pertaining to the State Teachers
Association, and Field Day, April
20, were discussed.
There will be no regular meet.

THE c. 0. D. TRAFFIC.
LEGISLATURE PASSES BILLS DEALING
IT HEAVY BLOWS.
No Property Rights in Liquor Shipped
to Prohibition Counties. /
Persons Who Buy From Blind Tigers
Liable to Prosecution.

Despite the strong adverse crit
icism made by the wholesale liquor
houses, Senator Mcneil is conf
dent that his three bills aimed at
the G. 0. D. liquor traffic, and
passed in the Senate by large ma
iorlties, are strictly within the
limits Of the constitution, and that
they can be rigidly enforced. Dis
cussing these bills in an interview
with the Jackson Evening News,
Mr.. Mcneil said:
Senate bill No. 1862 prohibits
any person in local option COM
munity from having in possession
more than one-half gallon of C.
o. D. liquor, and making possess
sion of more than that quantity
prima facie evidence of intention
to sell same IN violation of the
law. This is aimed directly at
the Q. @. d. shipments after they
reach the consignee, and while the
| federal statutes declare liquor an
article of commerce, at the same
time our police power is recogniz-
ed, and we can regulate the use of
liquor after it comes within our
Jurisdiction. In fact, the consti-
tuition gives US a police power
sufficiently strong to prohibit the
drinking of whisky in a local op-
ton community. a7.--
"Senate bill No. 1853 declares
that there shall be no property
rights in liquor in local option
community, thus making such
liquor eontraband stuff, and al
lowing the local authorities to
seize G. o. D. shipments after de.
livery to consignees, This can be
used etfectuallF in breaking up
the traffic. The person receiving
a G. o. d. shipment can be de-
priyed of same Immediately after
receiving it, and this law is also
within the scope of our police
powers.
Senate bill No. 1G4 makes the
act of receiving intoxicating H.
quoFs sold IN violation of law
misdemeanor. In other words,
the party who buys liquor from a
blind tiger can-be punished. This
does not apply particularly to the
q. 0. ID. traffic, but it will Ger
tainly serve to discourage the
patronage of Illicit retailing joints,
and | am convinced that it is also
constitutional, for the law now
declares a person knowingly re-
ceivlna stolen goods equally gull
ty with the principal, and we can
make the same theory apply to
liquor sold in violation of law,
and purchased by persons know
ing the law is being violated"
4dentically the same measures
had previously been passed in the
House, having been offered by
Mr.. Smith, of Holmes, one of the
leaders in the fight against the G..
D. D. liquor traffic. The matter
will probably be disposed of by
inserting the provisions Of 9he
proposed laws in tha dram shop
chapter of tAe code, which is now
pending in the House.

Another lRisIRetieA..

A new phase of the Z. D. D.
llquor crusade developed today
when the Harvest King DistiIling
Company, of Kansas City, secur-
ed from Judge Niles another re-
straining order against the town
and county authorities at Crystal
Springs, Gallmaps 4taazzlehurst,
Lexington and sanIa Flora,
Tbs pew injunction restrains
the authorities at these places
from instituting in the State
courts damage suits to recover the
civil penalty authorized by section
1890 of the code of 1892, to be
eo}ieeted from persons engaged in
Illicit retailing, the penalty being
$500 for each offense, and the
same sum may be collected by
counties and municipalities after
recayely is made by the State.
Between $15, 900 and 500, 600 is
involved in suits Of this character
already fled against the Harvest
Kiag Distilling Company. but the
suits cannot be tried until the in
iunctioAs are disposed of. Jack

PLANT KNEW ITS FRIEND.
Travellers Story of Sensitive Plant OF
Ceylon.

"Uncanny," said a glcpe trotter, us
the splendid and Hourishing sensitive
plant of Ceylon. This plant causes you
to wonder if plants, like us, can't feel
pain, ard think and grieve.
we were seated, in white linen
clothes, under the palms of our hosts
garden beyond Colombo. We had just
breakfasted, and the native servants
were handing about coffee and liqueurs.
"'What plant is thatY i asked
"A mimosa. or sensitive plant my
host answered, and added, turning to
his little daughter.
Go, dear, and kiss the mimosa.'
''The child obeyed. Then she came
back to us gleefully. The plant had
not shrunk from her fresh young touch.
Not leaf quivered.
Now you so and kiss it," said our
host to me.
Il advanced | put out my hand. And
my hand no sooner touched the mimosa
than it shivered, and the leaves wilted
as though frost bitten.
""lne plant knows my daughter our

to it, st. Louis Globe Democrat.
