THE WAYNE SLAVE
MILL PLANT MOVING.
John S. Bright to Accompany Mr..
Walker to Greenwood, Miss.

The people Of Sims regret exceeding
ly the change of location OF the Wayn,
Stave Co. which has been the pride o
that village the past few years. @. A
Walker, who established the busines,
there few years ago, has spent con
siderable time In looking up a favorable
location, and he thinks he has found
just what he wants at Greenwood, Miss
f. NJ. Lappin has gone down to Green
wood with Mr.. Walker to act az the
leading mechanic in putting up the
machinery. He will probably return
when this work is complete.
Along with the loss of this business
the people of Sims will suffer another
serious loss by . removal Of John s.
Bright, who has managed his fathers
business at Sims for many years, and
who was one Of the foremost men Of
that place In a business way, and also
in church and social matters. MIR.
Bright's father, J. 7. Bright, has been
totally blind for years, but by the aid OF
his son he has conducted a prosperous
business these many years. He last
week sold his business and store build
ing to Curtis Forth, late Of Mill Shoals,
and will retire from active business
life.
This change in business was fort.
unate one for Mr.. Walker, as it enabled
him to secure John 8. Bright as part.
ner fn his new undertaking In the
South. MIR. Bright will have charge Of
the Office work, and has taken stock in
the new company, which will do a much
larger business than heretofore, MIR.
Bright will leave the first Of next week
for Greenwood. He will not move his
family there for while yet.
The Press shares along with the peo.
pie of Arlington the loss of such good
citizen as Mr.. Bright, and sincerely re-
grets his departure, but we wish him
all the success that his sterling worth
and honorable business habits merit.
We congratulate Mr.. Walker in secur-
ing partner of such exceptional ablli-
ty and character. May they succeed
beyond their most sanguine expectations

Byrd.

Washington, D. c.. April IS. Some
days ago Hon. g. r Hightower, presi-
dent of the Farmers Union of Missis-
sippi, addressed letter to the Misss.
sippi congressional delegation, in which
he suggested the advisability of the en-
actment Of a national law prohibiting
dealing in futures"
In pursuance of Mr.. Hightower's re-
qnest, Congressman Byrd, of the Fifth
Mississippi district introduced bill,
which, il enacted into law. will prevent
betting on the prices of cotton, corn,
wheat, and other agricultural products
The bill does not affect legitimate ex-
changes and dealers who buy and sell
for actual delivery. 1t hits only the
gambler who sits in his office and bets
that the price OF cotton. corn or wheat
will be certain figure on certain day,
week, or month.
Mr.. Byrd framed his bill In strict ac-
cordance with two decisions Of the
United States supreme court, one by
Justice Harlan, the other by Justice
Brewer, and there can be no doubt of
Its constitutionality.
The text of Mr.. Byrd's bill is as fol-
lows:
"Be it enacted by the senate and
house OF representatives OF the United
States of America in congress assem-
bled that it shall be unlawful for any
telephone, telegraph, railroad, or ex.
press company engaged in interstate
commerce to knowingly receive and
transmit from persons or corporations
In one state to those In another any
message, contract, or communication
touching marginal contracts for the
sale or purchase of cotton, wheat, corn,
or other agricultural or farm products,
commonly known as "futures;" nor shall
the postal service be used for the trans
mission of such messages, contracts, or
communications.
"Sec. 2. That every bank, trust com
pany, or other corporation chartered
under the laws of the United States is
hereby forbidden to knowingly make
loan of any amount to any person or cor
poration dealing In such future con-
tracts for the sale or purchase of any
agricultural product, all loans made
In violation of this provision shall be
absolutely null and void and not col
lectable in any court.
Sec. 3. That every contract made
with intent to speculate in the rise or
fall of the market prices Of such agri-
cultural or farm products, and every
contract made when no actual delivery
of such product sold or purchased is
intended, shall be construed to be
future contracts within the meaning of
this act.
"Sec. 4. That any person or corpo-
ration violating any provision of this
act shall be fined not less than one
thousand dollars or imprisoned not less
than one year, or both, at the discre-
tion of the court.
"Sec. 5. That this act take effect and
be in force from and after its passage"
