The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1907-12-21
TERRIBLE FREDDIE.

tor of the Jackson Daily News,
devotes a column in that paper of
Thursday afternoon to the editor
of The Leader and a transparently
silly defense of the News in pos
ing as prohibition paper, while
at the same time it is promoting
the blind tiger nuisance and Jug
trade through its advertising col
umns. There is only one feature
of that article we care to answer
here. Because we did not see fit
to personally resent or to reply in
our article in The Leader of
Wednesday to previous article in
the Daily News, as Sullins fancied
we should, he says The Leader
has adopted "a semi-apologetic
attitude" in regard to its own
original statement, and then de-
clares that a" half way apology is
the invariable refuge Of a coward. !"
Twenty years ago, when South
ern sentiment and custom were
not so far removed from the code
duello as now, the editor of The
l
Leader, with what he regarded as
justifiable provocation, visited the
town of North Mississippi edi-
tor with the resolute purpose of
making him apologize for his in
suit or fight. Officers interfered
and prevented the carrying out of
this program, and on his return
home he was arraigned before his
church conference and called upon
to pledge himself to. place all such
conduct for the future benin d
him. Out of respect for the con-
ference, regard for exemplary
citizenship and, above all, for the
Supreme Law Giver, we agreed
to this. By grace more than
human, we have several times
since, been restrained from break
ing that pledge under great provo
cation. However, we do not pro-
fess to have ever attained to that
degree of perfection which enables
a man to observe the Divine in
junction, when smitten on one
cheek, to meekIy turn the other;
and no one, SO far as we know,
has ever before accused B. I.
Hobbs of being a coward.
Freddie evidently wants to ere,
late. the impression that he is ex,
ceedingly valiant and is "spoiling
for fght' with some one. II
he isn't, as matter of fact, q
contemptible, clustering shanghai.
or braying ass in lions skin,
as we'll as notorious, conscience
less liar and disgrace to the Jack.
son press, we would like to see
him attempt to put his charge Of
cowardlce to a practical test. He
will have no trouble finding the
editor of The Leader any time be
chooses to hunt him up, and is re.
minded that, so far as he is con-
cerned, if our article in Wednes.

Attorney General Fletcher has
been advised that the Harrison
county double district muddle,
which provides for a court house
at McHenry, is not yet settled
and that 1t comes back to the Su-
preme Court. Mr.. Fletcher gave
permission for the use of the
name of the State in this second
trial in the court below so as to
secure hearing in vacation, but
the double-district advocates have
lost out again, Judge Hardy

act of the Legislature under which
the election was held is unconsti-

Texas merchants are demanding
a pledge from farmers who ask
for credit that they will sell cot
ton as fast as picked. If farmers
comply it will virtually annul the
holding plan, as fully 80 per cent
of the cotton farmers of the South
operate upon credit basis. The
action of Texas merchants will
clash with union ideas and further
Developments are awaited with
eagerness. Crystal Springs Me-

JEFF WILL Give
BIC BLOWOUT
PLANS THANKSGIVING EVENT IN
HONOR OF OPENING OF HIS
NEW SALOON ON SPRING
STREET, FRISCO.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-Jim
Jeffries is going to show Spring
street a little class. The big blow-off
comes on Thanksgiving eve Wed
nesday, November 81, the occasion
being the formal opening of Jimuel's
new saloon.
Jim says that if there were ever
any other openings of this kind on
Spring or any other old street, they
will all be forgotten after he gets
through with his class A event.
The furniture and fixtures are all
practically in place at the new booze
bazaar and it is not eXaggeration to
say that the establishment is one of
the finest of its kind in the country.
1t already has been selected as a rem
devouz for the local sporting men
and once it is formally launched, will
probably be one of the most popular
resorts in the city.
On the night of the opening, JEFF
is to have an Italian orchestra,
flock of Swiss yodlers, a troupe of
performing sea lions, and the most
gorgeous outlay of free lunch that
was ever turned loose upon a hungry
public.
