JUDGE POTTER
HAS NUMEROUS
MURDER CASES
Daily News Special

Daily News Special
Jackson. Miss, Dec. 17.-Judge Pot.
ter will bring the regular December
term of the Copiah county circuit
court to a close tomorrow, after a
session lasting nearly four weeks.
Judge Potter's next court term will
be in Madison county, commencing on
the second Monday in January, and
the most notable case to come up for
hearing at that session will be that
of State VS.. Louis Dennis, charged
with the murder of John T. White, cir
cult clerk of Kinds county. and car
ried from Kinds to Madison on a
change of venue.
The killing of White occurred more
than three years ago. At his first
trial Dennis was convicted and given
death sentence. Appeal was taken to
the supreme court and a reversal Sc
cured, chiefly on technicalities.
An effort was made to get the case
up for trial at the next term of cir
circuit cour at Raymond, but the de-
fendant was given a change of venue
to Madison county, and at the next
term in that county continuance was
secured. District Attorney Mcneil is
determined to force the case to
trial at the approaching court term,
and secure its final disposal. Dennis
is now at liberty under bond.

even unto the end of the world" Inst
few hours before death came her
beloved minister from childhood. Rev.
e. j. Currie, talked and prayed with
her, and she gave the sweet assur-
ance to him, and to all, that she was
ready and willing to go to her dear
Redeemer. She told her beartbroken
husband, just few minutes before
the end came, not to grieve. She
said: "lll be all right. Some day. some
glad, sweet day"
She leaves a devoted husband a
loving mother and six affectionate
children to mourn her death, and to
those of this sacred inner circle of
her love, we have no right to sneak
further of the grief that now rends
their hearts so greatly. But we feel
that we may (and especially the
writer, who is an old schoolmate of

beauty of life, which has been re-
moved to higher realms-and point

which enabled her to endure thus,
bravely, the agony which was hers
through all these long, sad weeks of
illness, and to add so much of beauty
to the world while she remained here.

family residence at 2 o'clock. Rev. E.

the country will agree to it.
r. X. Smith, vice president and Cen
eral manager of the Mississippi Cen
tral, stated that the position of his
road in the proposed readjustment
had been one of neutrality. "The only
course open to line like ours" said
Mr.. Smith, 'is to find the wisest lead

have made the reductions requested if
we had wanted to-"

of the cause, it is hoped and believed
that the decision, when rendered, will
be favorable to Hattissburg.

new HONOR system
IS PROVING SUCCESS
Students Placed Under Their Own
Code Deport Themselves in Most
Exemplary Manner-DiseipIine Is
Unnecessary.

Chancellor A. A. Kincannon, of the
University of Mississippi, is in the
city today, having come here to at
tend chancery court, being interested,
on behalf of his wife, in the settle
ment of the George estate.
Speaking of the university, Chan
cellor Kincannon said:
1.-THE session has been thus far the
most successful in the history of the
institution, beyond any question of
doubt" said the chancellor. 1--WE
have over 400 students enrolled, and
they form a fine body of university
men, no boys who ought to be in the
high schools having been admitted
at this term"
A remarkable record has been
achieved by the university students
this session, of which Chancellor Kin
canon is justly proud. At the begin
ming of his administration he inaugur-
ated the honor system, putting each
and every student under his own code
of honor for guidance, and thus far
there has not been a single case of
discipline in the university at this
term. 1t is doubtful If there is an
educational institution in the United
States of equal size that can show
such a record.
The holiday recess will commence
on next Wednesday, Dec. 20, and last
until January 4, during which a ma
jority of the students will go to their
homes to spend Christmas. Chan
cellor Kincannon states that work on
the new buildings is making splendid
headway, and the several structures
will be in readiness for occupancy
within a short time.

DASHED DRUG
INTOEYES Of
LITTLE NEGRO
Evidence Showed That the Deed
Was Accidental and Cox
Was Discharged.

Frank Cox, an employe of the Peo-
pies drug store, a negro establish
ment, was before the police court this
morning on charge of having thrown
ammonia in the eyes of George Bond,
a little pickaninny, late yesterday
afternoon.
According to the evidence adduced
in court this morning the affair was
an accident. 1t appears that Cox
had been cleaning some of the show
cases with ammonia, and that when
he finished he threw what he had
poured out into the streets. About
the time he threw it, the Bond negro
and another negro came up and it
went into their faces. Judge John
son stated that from the evidence no
injury was intended and the defendant
was discharged.
The Bond negro was wearing
glasses and said his eyes were badly
hurt, but DR.. Kelly testified that there
was only slight Inflammation and
that the boy would soon recover from
the injury.

OLD FIDDLERS' CONTEST
Will BE GREAT EVENT

Tomorrow night the old fiddlers'
contest comes off at the Auditorium
and splendid program has been ar
ranged for the occasion. Besides the
old-time melodies that will be furnish
ed by the fiddlers, a splendid program
of modern music has been arranged
and those who attend the entertain
ment will get full value for their time
and money.
The purpose OF the entertainment
alone should insure a large attend
ance. The money derived from the
small admission fee that will be
charged will go toward the promotion
of a most worthy undertaking. It
will be used to buy Christmas pres
ents to go on the Christmas tree that
will be given by the Kings Daughters

to the poor children of the city. This
is a work that every citizen of Hat
tiesburg should feel an interest in and
count it both a privilege and pleasure
to contribute something to such a
splendid purpose. For this reason, if
not for the actual pleasure afforded,
there should be large attendance up
on the old fiddlers' contest tomorrow
night. The entertainment will be
more than worth the price of admis-
sion and it is hoped that a large audi
ence will be out to hear the con-
test and to help the Kings Daughters
in their worthy undertaking.
The admission price to the old fid-
dlers' contest will be so cents for
grown people and 25 cents for chill
dren. Tickets can be obtained at the
Auditorium office.

HATTIESBURG RATE CASE
HEARD BY COMMISSIONERS

Messrs. T. s. Jackson and v. M.
Scanlan, who remained over in New
Orleans yesterday to represent Hat

are of the opinion that Hattiesburg
has made out strong case in the eff

Nearly all of yesterday was con-
sumed in hearing the evidence of the

opposed the rate. The railroad men

GOOD WOMAN
GOES TO REST
Mrs, John Farley Died at Fami-
ly Home Yesterday After
noon at 4 O'clock.

Mrs. Eva Ripley Farley the be-
loved wife of Mr.. John Farley, died
at the family residence on Bouie
street yesterday afternoon at 4 O'Clock
The passing away of this splendid
woman causes profound sorrow, and
the sad news of her death is deeply
felt, both far and near.
She had been married to Mr.. Fair
ley just twenty years last Saturday,
and the union was a most happy one.
From the first moment of her illness
to the last, all that was possible for
love and science to do was done to
give relief to the adored wife, the
beloved daughter and mother and hon
ored friend. But despite all these
anxious efforts of her loved ones, and
the tender care of her physician she
grew steadily worse until the Death
Message came to summon her Home.
She was a lovely character and God
had richly endowed her with a pure
heart and mind. AS a devoted wife,
and mother, loving daughter, friend
and charitable neighbor, and an ideal
type of Christian womanhood, she
stood as model.
Through all her weary weeks of in
tense suffering she bore all with un-
faltering love and faith in Him who
hath said 81 will be with you always,

FROM
FAST TRAIN
into CREEK
Legs and Feet Lacerated, But
No Bones Were Broken By
Tumble to Earth.

A transient negro by the name of
Ace Hamilton, claiming to be from
near Utica, came near being killed
this morning by the southbound G. &
s. /. local freight. The negro, with a
companion, came in last night, and it
is supposed that they were attempting
to bum their way to Gulfport.
Hamilton ATTEMPTED to jump the To-
cal at the Buschman street crossing
and in some way missed his footing.
He held on, however, hoping to pull
himself up, but about the time the
train got to the tressle across Gordon
creek he dropped. The wheels came
near passing over his body, but did
not quite reach him. He was knocked
against the sides of the box cars and
both his legts and one foot were hor-
ribly lacerated, though no bones were
broken. The flesh was literally torn
from the bones in one or two places.
especially about his foot and knee.
He was carried to the South Missis-
sippi Infirmary, where he is being
given attention. He will probably re-
cover.
The negro who was with Hamilton
succeeded in getting on the train and
went on toward GuIfport.

OF SERIOUS TROUBLE
Federal Agents Are EIsted, However,

Literature Being Distributed on the
Trip.
Daily News Special.


jackson, Miss, Dec. 17.-"The Boil
Weevil Special" with nearly a score
of agricultural experts aboard, is now
on a tour of NIississippis famous
delta country, and advices received
here today state that the speakers
are being greeted by large crowds of
planters at all points visited.
The special will bring it's tour to
a close Friday night, the experts re-
turning to this city, and from this
point they will go to their respective
stations to resume their routine la
bors.
According to the reports received
here, there is no feeling of general
alarm among delta planters over the
agricultural outlook, nor can they be
induced to accept the pessimistic be-
lief that the advent of the boil weeviI
in Mississippi will bring about a rev.
olution in agricultural and industrial
circles They have set themselves
calmly to the task of minimizing the
ravages of the pest, insofar as it is
possible to do so, will plant less cot
ton than in former years, utilize the
improved methods of agriculture that
have been suggested by the experts,
and, in brief, make the best of what
is admitted to be a rather disagree
able situation.
The state and federal agents who
have been aboard the Boil Weevil
Special throughout the week are
much elated over the interest thew
have succeeded in arousing among the
farmers, and the ready understand
ing of the situation that has been
manifested at all points visited. Over
10000 pieces Of literature relative TO
agricultural methods in Mississippi
have been distributed from the train.
and more circulars and pamphlets of
the same character will be sent out
