CLEAN UP
THE TOWN.

While the reformists are clamor-
ing for a moral clean up, there is an
other kind of clean up that is just
as necessary, and it is a clean UP
question on which all factions will
agree. Every city of any importance
should have civic PRIDE enough to
keep the streets, alleys, and yards
clean and tidy. 1t distinguishes a
city, gives it name and fame that
is widespread and makes it a favor
tie with the travelling public. When
the tired traveller stops in a city that
is kept up neat and clean. the very
sight OF we'll kept streets and yards
is refreshing. it detracts from his
physical WEAKNESS, he forgets how
weary and worn out he is in admir-
ing the beautiful city. He departs
and wherever he goes he will mention
that city to all his friends, and the
advertisement that city receives
works wonders with its advancement
and prosperity.

son to accomplish this clean up. The
housewives are now very busy CIV
ing their homes a thorough renovat-
ing after the winter, when the houses
could not be kept open. Our city
fathers and citizens should follow the
work OF our housewives and make the
cify of Greenville the cleanest city
in the state. 1t is not only from the
standpoint -of beauty, but from the
standpoint of health that it should be
done. and done now before the hot
weather arrives to stay, and before

ing have chance to spread and cause

Greenville is bound to grow and
prosper-the town cannot be killed.
just at this time when one clique or
band is predicting all sorts of dire
calamities because the town is going
to go dry, as they fear, and the other
side picturing the future in blacker
colors than the first if greater restric-
tons are not placed upon the law
breakers, the kicker is found in al
most every corner group.
You can mingle with one crowd,
and to hear them tell it the town is
going to the dogs because we don't
close the saloons. On the opposite
corner another crowd is discussing
the question from an altogether diff
ferent standpoint, and their opinion
is that the town will surely go to the
dogs if the saloons are closed.
But Greenvile is not going to the
dogs by any means. The business
depression now felt by us is being ex-
perienced all over the state, all over
the Delta, at any rate, and the dull
ness in Greenville cannot be laid to
any local cause.
Greenville is too great and vast a
city to be very materially harmed by
what the "drys' or "wets". will have
it. We may be hurt locally for lit
tie while by too drastic measures be-
ing enacted, but after we will have
learned the lesson, and we will not
be slow in learning it, We will face
about, and do the things necessary to
bring about the desired change. We
need not worry that while learning
whatever lessons we need, will so
hurt the town that we can never re-
cover
Don't worry. and don't knock the
town This will hurt the city more
than all else Greenville is not such
an infant that she can let any one
sect rule her to her ruin, either by
the laws of the Puritans.
No, Greenville is not going to the
dogs, and it will be long time be-
fore she does. Let the knockers move
away if they want to, or let them
quit knocking and all get together
again and pull for greater Greenville.

to lack base, and to the nearer who
was looking for discussion of the
problems upon the solving of which
depends the future preservation, hap
piness and prosperity of our republic,
IT was disappointment. Mr.. Will
lian1s was full of negatives, explana-
tons that didn't explain, and much
talk about his opponent, Governor
Vardaman. He told us a great many
things that happened at t. Louis in
trying to show that he did Mr. Bryan
no wrong, but failed to tell about
joining hands with the crowd that
went up there to bury Mr.. Bryan.
Better leave this subject alone, Mr..
Williams. Such talk about gopern-
ment ownership! BY what authority
did that come in?
Among other mistakes that Mr..
Williams makes is going on the pre-
sumption that he is the only fellow
who is prompted by patriotic motives
the other fellows opinions SAVIOR
of the "demagogue, and he is the
only one that is truly honest and that
never "plays to the galleries" Such
mistake for statesman to make!
He says that the race question is a
: great problem before the American
people, but seems to think that it is
almost the objectionable sin against
', the "Holy Ghost to even mention it.
We would not knowingly do Mr.. Viii,
liams an injustice, but that smells
like the baby act to us. Who ever
heard of problem being solved by
running away from it? We say that
the solving of this problem is newt
able, and therefore let it come.
In short, with Justice to all, Mr..
Williams speech is disappointing. 1t
presents the spectacle of speaker
trying to meet the exception of an
intelligent audience and at the same
time avoiding" the real issue-The
Amory Argus.

our councilmen would inaugurate a
clean up day, and on that date
have every citizen set aside a part or
the whole of that day to cleaning up
his premises. The change would
make Greenville look like the cap
ital city of fairy flowery kingdom.

day is established, and the wonderful
results seen, there would be no
trouble in getting every man, woman

HENRY DAVIS C0LORED
HAS LONGER TO LIVE
An Appeal Yesterday in Behalf Of the
Slayer Of States Jones at Globe.

Henry Davis or Brennan who was
sentenced to be hanged at Globe on
July IS, will live at least until next
November unless he dies a natural
death. The papers in an appeal to the,
supreme court came up yesterday on
a writ of probable cause issued by
Judge Nave the trial judge.
on October 10 of last year Davis,
who is a coIored man shot and instant
IL killed States Jones a man of his
own race. who came to this territory
as a sergeant of colored troops, U.
s. A. a great many years ago. After
he went out OF the army he devoted
himself to gambling. The killing took
place at Green's saloon at Globe, over
debt II thirty-five cents which Da-
Wis owed Jones. One night while luck
was with Davis and he had s25 on the
table in front of him Jones entered
and demanded his money applying
eDithets and threats. Davis-left the
game and invited Jones to the bar I"
drink Reaching the bar Davis went
behind it got a gun and after drinks
had been served he and Jones went to
the rear of the saloon where the shoot
ing took place.
The trial of Davis took place last
spring and he was convicted and pun
ishment fixed by the jury at death He
appeared twice for sentence but the
matter was continued from time to
time until May 81 when judgment was
finally passed.

circumstances pointed so strongly to

q q
Williams, who is 80 years old, a
barber and a man of immense vitali-
ty, noticed a swelling on his breast.
The barber went to the hospital and
there he was placed upon the operat-
ing table without having been ether
| lied. a hollow needle was plunged
into the aorta and through this the
silver wire was fed from a spool. The
thickness of the wire was about that
of No. GO cotton thread.
The blood pressure had ben pre-
viously reduced to a minimum by Il
long stay in bed and by starvation
diet.
AS the wire was fed into the great
blood vessel 1t coiled itself closely in
the form of a cylinder which fitted
exactly the inner surface of the af-
fected parts. Then the needle was
withdrawn and the little wound
made by it was dressed.
The process that was then set up
in the weakened part was that the
blood clotted over the wires and
organized" a new wall, strengthen
ing that which had been weakened by
the rheumatic growth. The efficacy
of this Organization" depends upon
the general condition of the patient
and the quality of his blood.
The operation upon Williams was
performed two months ago. Last
week he came into the hospital with
blood trickling steadily from a pin
point hole in his chest.
Again Williams was placed upon
the operating table. The blood was
found to be coming from a wound
from which protruded the tip of the
silver wire that had been coiled inside
his aorta.
With great care the whole strand
was taken out, and then. to the
amazement of everybody. the bleed
ing stopped.
There is every indication that the
barber is now absolutely well and
that the new inner coating of the
aorta is sufficiently strong to rein
force the weakened tissues that lie
outside it.
81 feel as well as ever did in my
life and work every day without ia
tigue,' said Williams today.
