kill has furnished the commission with
an opinion bearing upon the legal right
of the commission in placing the Free
Public Library of Newark under the
provisions of the civil service law. The
assistant attorney-ge. raj holds that
the library is a part of the city govern
ment. hence John Cotton Dana, the
librarian, and his assistants have been
properly placed under the civil service
regulations. He says in part:
1T is true that one section of the act
providing for the establishment of free
public libraries makes the trustees of
a free public library a body corporate,
with powers of succession of suit, man
agement of property, etc, but there is
not sufficient parallel between the libra
ry service and the public school serv-
ice to place the trustees of the Free

board"
The commission received a request
from Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott, of
Essex county, hat exemption he al
lowed him for a confidential clerk. The
commission, however, is in doubt
whether this has not already been done
by exempting Timothy e.. Scales, who
is clerk to the grand jury and also to
the prosecutor. 1t may be decided that
Mr.. Scales is actually exempt in the
capacity of confidential clerk to the
presiding justice of the Supreme Court

1t is claimed that Lord Bacon struck

wrote: 'Some books a to be tasted,
others to he swallowed and some few
to be chewed and digested.'
He wrote of books; many who have
followed him have written likewise of

ness makes success; the actor or act
res1 who digests his o her art brings
fame; the man who lives life and d.
sests it as he should lives as was the
intention he should live.
1t is not the food you swallow or
taste that brings happiness to you; 1t
l. the food you digest.
If you swallow and taste and don't
digest and chew, Nature cannot give
YOU health. for you do not furnish the
ammunition.

A BAND OF THIEVES.
Additional Details in the Cotton and
Chicken Stealing Cases.

Hazlehurst, Miss, Nov. 9.-Mos-
COW Brown, who lives in the com
munity between Ashley and Strong
Hope, was in Hazlehurst today and
related the facts connected with
the cotton and chicken stealing
which has been going on in that
community for some time. On
Nov. 2 Jasper and Oscar Arm
strong. Mrs. Emma Armstrong,
wife of Jasper Armstrong; Pink
Perrett, son Of Tom Perrett, and
Bob Flowers, a negro, were tried
| in Justice of the Peace Glardner's S
Court for stealing cotton and chick
ems on sundry occasions. All plead
ed guilty and Jasper Armstrong
was fined, including the costs,
about $50 or 500 and sentenced to
80 days on the county roads, where
he is now serving out the penalty.
Oscar Armstrong, IL years old, was
fined $50, which was paid and he is
now at his fathers home at Clin-
ton. Mrs. Emma Armstrong was
released with light fine, which
was paid, and she is at her grand
mothers home at Wesson. Pink
Perrett, who turned States evil
dence, was let off with light fine.
Bob Flowers, who said he was per-
suaded to accompany the Arm
strongs on one Of their cotton steal
ing expeditions was fined Sl1.50,
which was paid by Mr.. McCardle.
The credit for discovering the
thieves belongs to Mr.. Brown and
negro named Lige Swilley, who
lives near Mr.. Brown. Swilley
went by his cotton house one morn
ing and found the door broken open
and missed some cotton. He re-
ported the facts to Mr.. Brown, who
inspected his own cotton house and
found cotton missing. They fol
lowed the tracks to the yard gate
where the Armstrong; lived. Mr..
Brown then made affidavits against
them and Constable Luther Sumrall
took up the case He got informa-
tion that led him to believe Perrett
was implicated and he arrested him
at the home of Will lizard Per-
rett confessed and implicated Flow
ers. Flowers was arrested and he
confessed to being along at one
time.. At the trial Jasper ARM
strong made his escape and went to
Brookhaven. where he was arrested
again and placed in jail here. |
One bale Of cotton, which was
stolen from different parties in
small quantities. was sold to Peets
q Norman Co. On Oct. 23. Ia ALL

A Bad Negro.

Hazlehurst Nov. 8.-John Mar
tin, a negro. was placed in Jail
here Saturday. There are seven
indictments against Martin here
and he is charged with many other
crimes. Some of the indictments
are for selling whisky, carrying
concealed weapons, shooting at an
officer and assault and battery with
intent to kill. Martin halls from
Beat 4 and he had been giving the
citizens of this beat great deal of
trouble. Last March Constable
Holden caught up with him and at
tempted to make an arrest. Martin
pulled pistol and took four shots
at the Constable and escaped. He
went to Vicksburg and got into a
fight with negro and was arrested
by policeman and pistol was
found in his bosom. Deputy Sher-
iff Ben Burney heard Of the arrest
and sent warrant to the Chief of
Police, and when he had completed
his term of sentence there Mr..
Burney was notified and Saturday
he returned with Martin and placed
him in Jail to await the next term
of Circuit Court, which meets on
the fourth Monday in this month.

Improved Road CuIyerts.

The Leader thinks the Board of
Supervisors made a good move
when it decided to introduce gal
vanized metal culverts on the coun-
ty public roads as a substitute for
the old wooden culverts. No wood
en- culvert lasts very long without
rotting, or giving way and having
to be replaced, and in the long run
this makes them more expensive
than tiling.
We are sure, however, that the
members of the Board are making
a serious mistake, in some instan-
ces at least, by not seeing that the
metal culverts, ordered are properly
put in, This culvert material was
ordered in assorted sizes, so as to
be adjustible to smaller or larger
road drains, as circumstances re-
quire. In some instances we notice
galvanized steel culverts have been
put in entirely too large for the
amount Of drainage required and
the metal, instead of being sunk to
a level orsbelow a level with the
road level on either side, sticks up
and makes a bump in the road that
vehicles are compelled to jolt over.
To pass over these, in some in
stances, is like driving your bug
gy or wagon over a good sized log
in the road.
If the county is going to the ex-
ira expense of putting down dura-
bic culyerts and it ought to do
this. because it will be the cheap
est and best in the end the mem
bers of the Board ought to see to
it that there are no ridiculous mis-
fits and that they are put down as
they should be.

there again the hunters had the ad-
vantage, and nothing was accom-
plished. Now | have no war to
make on the hunters, but thought
the financial interests of the county
was more important than the pleas
ure of hunting, and / thought the
birds might relieve us of the boil
weevil when nothing else could.
Now the partridge, quail, or Bob
White is usually sought after for
hunting, and ornitholog4sts give
this as one of the birds which are
destructive to worms and bugs.
F. E. L. Beal, B. S., assistant in
the agricultural department, says
it is destructive of the cotton boil
weevil, and during the height of
the insect season feeds almost en-
tirely on insects, bugs, etc. DR..
Sylvester D. Judd, connected also
with the same department, says OF
this bird: "Boll weevils are great
ly sought after; AT cotton boil wee
wills having been eaten in morn
ing by one Bob White. " Now the
boil weevil comes out in the spring
from his winter quarters. and one
of them is the progenitor of mil
lions in. August. So if the par
fridge catches one in the spring he
is practically the destroyer of mil
lions in August. have been re-
quested to prepare blank petitions

Prof. H. H. Kopman, special

of Audubon Societies, is arranging
dates around over the State for
lectures on Bird Life and its I'm
portance to Mankind. The i'm
portance Of this work is just begin
ming to be understood by the farm
ing community and by the bird
hunters, who are urged to act in
concert for the protection of the
game birds by the enforcement of
the laws, and for the protection of
those birds which are recognized as
the destroyers of insects. But for
appearance Of the boil weevil the
average farmer would look upon
the protection of birds as a piece Of
foolishness, having been raised to
shoot and to kill any old bird he
pleased, but it is a different mat
ter once he is brought to under
stand that their destruction hits
his pocket as well as that of his
neighbor, and they are joining in
the crusade.

One Taft TaffA Tree Bears Lemons.

The daily press is now overflow
ing with announcements of the
obliteration Of the Republican pan.
ic traces, by the Republican VIC
tory. It is to be hoped that there
is more substantial verification in
them generally than-in the follow
ing special to the New York Trib-
une from Chicago:
]. I. Harahan, president of the
Illinois Central Railroad Company,
says the election Of Mr.. Taft means
a certain increase in all lines of
business, beginning at once. Not
only upon the railroads of the coun.
try, but upon all other enterprises,
he adds, will the effect be benef.
cial.
The predicted effect beneficial
beginning at once" is given de-
cided puncture, by the following
lay off at McComb; which has been,
we are sorry to say, duplicated in
the Vicksburg shops, though to a
much less extent:
McComb, Miss, Nov. 6. En-
ployes of the Illinois Central shops,
especially a good number who vot-
ed the Republican ticket last Tues
day, are convinced that Judge Taft
and the Republican agents of pros
perity have handed them a large
bunch of lemons. Last night 173
employees of the shops were placed
on the suspended list, and no ex-
PLANTATION given save that the
amount of work would not Justify
their retention. Of the 173, men
laid off, 100 were employed in the
freight sheds, and the remainder
in the boiler, machine and black
smith shop.
The Illinois Central also serves
notice that the working day will be
cut to eight hours, commencing to-
day, instead of nine hours as here
tofore. The blow falls rather hard
on the employees, as only a few of
them have been working on full
time during the past year. Vicks-
