According to Ben Decring. who
has made a compilation of the Mis-

the first time a high court has passed
on this feature of the Wood local OPP

fishes the principle, Mr.. Deering

Statement by Deputy Sheriff Greer.

After Mr.. Dykes made his state
ment, Deputy Sheriff Greer was
seen by a representative of The
Leader and asked what, if any
effort had been made by him, his
chief or any other officer of the
county, SO far as he knew, to have
the perpetrators Of the above out
rage apprehnded. Mr.. Greer said
that a warrant had been issued to
the Sheriff's office by Justice r. S.
Butler on Thursday following the
shooting, based upon an affidavit
by Mr.. Dykes and that he deputy
Sheriff Greer) had promptly pro-
ceeded to Auburn via Norfield, to
serve it. Between Norfeld and
Auburn he met Mr.. Dykes, who
detailed the main facts Of the treu-
bic to him, but on proceeding to
the Montgomery place, he learned
from Mr.. Montgomery and. others
that Smith and Thomas had left the
neighborhood and could not be
found. After seeing Mrs. Smith,
who also stated her husband had
left home, he returned to Brook
haven, regarding further effort, for
the time, to arrest the parties
futile. He further stated that his
information is that the parties
have either left the county or are
still hiding out, and that they will

To the Women Of Lincoln County.

want to tell you OF my visit to
the Old Ladies Home in jackson
on last Thursday, and of meeting
the dear old ladies, fourteen in
number.
have always been interested in
the building of such home just as
you have been, but did not realize
The greatness OF the work; how
much we could help our unfortun-
ate sisters, or how much they
needed this comfortable place, un-
til my visit among them.
| found them as happy as little
children, and full of gratitude for
a sure place to spend the evening
of life; and for many, the sun has
almost set.
God grant that we may maintain
this refuge for our old ladies. The
nome, with its spacious halls, love-
ly library, intirmary, splendid din
ing room, eighteen bedrooms, and
several baths, is all paid for.
Our auxifiaries have sent more
than enough bed and table linens,
towels, comforts, blankets, etc.,
and kind friends have furnished
the home most artistically.
It is complete in every respect;
and now that it stands there open,
monument to Mississippi women,
and with these ladies so happy be-
meath its sheltering roof, it is up
to us as true women of Misslssippl
to maintain it.
You know that it costs great
deal of money to maintain such an
institution, and the only way they
have OF meeting this, is by the
dues of It's several auxlliaries, and
every dollar paid in helps the home
and the inmates.
/ wish every woman who is able
to pay this dollar year would join
our Brookhayen auxiliary. / see
no reason why we could not have
two hundred members from our
county.
Ii you could only take the trip to
Jackson and visit the home, you
would come back with your heart
full of good Intentions toward SO
noble a cause. and would ask every
friend you meet to help out in the
work.
Shall we let other counties do
more than we for this home, which
is as much ours as theirs? No, |
know that we have always stood
among the first, and will not fall
behind in this.

The People BIed by Wolves Of the Wheat
PIT.

The wheat corner, engineered by
the gamblers led by James A. Pat
ten, has suddenly brought about
serious conditions which oppresses
every citizen of the nation. That
the coup of the spectators for their
own profit at the expense of the
people hits and hits hard, is evl-
denced by the action of the bakers
in the large cities, who are petit
tioning congress to enact legislation
forbiddlng gambling in the neces
saries Of life.
Experienced traders in wheat
who are conservative dealers, and
opposed to the gambling feature,
point to the domestic visible supply
which at present is reported by
Bradstreets at 5000, 900 bushels in
excess Of the amount in sight at
this time IN 1908. Yet with the
heavy excess Of supply this year,
the wheat quotations at the close of
the market yesterday were: May
/ .27 l-8; July lit; Sept. LOT l-8.
One year ago today the quotations
were: May 81 3-4: July 85 5-8;
Sept. SO 5-8. Here is an average
difference Of some thirty cents,
contrary to natural conditions and
the laws of supply and demand.
The people pay while the wolves Of
the wheat pit make millions in a
day. Such conditions call for rad
|ical correction. Uncle SANS
strong hand should be invoked to
protect the toilers who labor for
their daily bread, and who are
affected by the manipuIations Of
the spectators. Vicksburg Herald.

THE TRUCK GROWERS.
Salesman Fleming Makes a Strong Plea for High
Grade Products.

of Nature that makes it so i'm.
portant to guarantee the grade and
pack of our goods. Now, one will
say can grade and pack at home
and guarantee my own goods. OF
course you can, but what is your
guarantee worth. If man in
Pittsburg should complain of the
quality of a crate of your tomatoes,
you would send him another crate
if you had them, wouldn't you?
We have never yet heard of COM
plant of that kind. That is not
the way it happens. The grower
is the man who does the complain
ing and his complaint IS of the
price obtained for his goods. We
are not in the trucking business
for health, for pleasure or for
fame, but for profit. The all
mighty dollar is the goal that
makes US crawl up and down the
rows of beans or bend from plant
to plant while old Sol is trying his
best to blister our packs. 1t is
the weighing in the balances of
those two old rivals, Profit and
Loss, that causes us to leave our
warm beds in the dead hours OF
night and go out in the cold to
straw the plant beds, or to fire the
logs and stumps in and around the
field. We do sympathize with the
man whose lot it is to grapple with
conditions like these. and we do
want to see him get all that his
products will bring, and man who
will take advantage of his ig-
norance of its value, is shark and
it would be better for the trucker
if all such men would fall through
1.-THE hole in the bottom of the
sea-"
One trucker who opposed the
proposition to pack the tomatoes in
town, was asked if he believed
goods that he packed at home
would sell for as much as those
that were graded and packed under
rigid rules in town and guaranteed.
His answer was, i do not. Then
what more can we say than to you
we have said?'' seemed to be softly
humming about the room. One
who opposed the packing in town
was asked, would you, who under
stand grading and packing at home
and honestly believe you put up
first class goods, be willing to load
your tomatoes in the same car with
tomatoes packed by people who had
no experience2 NO." was the
answer. Then you should be in
favor of packing them in town, for
there are number of growers who
never grew them before and many
of them have only one to two acres
and therefore could not afford to
hire experience packers to go to
their homes to pack for them. So
there is but one way to avoid haY-
ing tomatoes put up by inexper-
fenced people and that is to pack
them in town. 1t should be very
clear, therefore, that even though
you are experienced, it is to your
best interest to bring them to town
and have them all graded and pack
ed alike and guaranteed and sold.
We do moi believe a single car will
have to be consigned if we put
them up this way. Brookhaven
will be the only point in Mississip-
pi where tomatoes are packed by an
association and the grade and pack
guaranteed, and this will bring the
buyers. and soon our brands
BROOKHAVEN' and LIN
COLIN will become known and in
demand and bring the highest
prices. Then you can bring them

MISSISSIPPI FEDERATION OF NOMEN's CLUBS.

/ There was vast assemblage al
the Opera House last evening te
witness the initial meeting of tht
EleventhaAnnual Convention of ths
Mississippi Federation of Women's
Clubs. The attractive stage hac
tbeen beautifully set in palms ano
ferns, enhanced by the club colors,
and when the coterie of State off,
GERS and distinguished visitors took
their places before the expectant
audience, every anticipation OF
Brookhaven hostesses was met and
the scene presented was fit for an
artists brush and pleasing indeed
to every eye.
Mrs. A. c. McNair. whose name
has been synonymous with every
good word and work and forward
movement in Brookhaven through
all the years of her young woman
hood and up to the present time
when she finds herself ex-President
of our Peripatetics and President
of our Climbers and State officer
of the Federation, introduced the
speakers, first of whom was DIR. /.
w. Cooper, President of Whitworth
College, of versatile gifts, who
voiced welcome in glowing terms,
from our citizenship generally,
after the invocation by Rev. w.
E. Phifer, pastor of the Presbyter-
ian church.
Mrs. Lucretia Blankenburg, the
auditor of the General Federation,
who reminds one of all the virtue
and strength and principle neces-
sary in a maker and moulder of her
country, the Brookhaven contingent
finds especial qualification. She
made brief address, which was a
decided thit," and although her
closing sentence prophesied the
right of suffrage for women and an
equal sphere with man, it was ap-
plauded by our truly chivarlous
present-day citizens to the echo.
Mrs. J. S. Matthews, the State
President of Louisiana's Fedora
tion, also gave an appreciated few
remarks" fitting and appropriate,
in the waning moments of the even
ing. She is also cordially greeted
from a sister State.
Mrs. w. P. Mills, our own
charming State President, captivat-
ed everybody in her unconscious
general review of the work, so full
of congratulation for what the
faithful followers after higher
ideals for women and their homes,
have accomplished during the club
year just passed.

AN interesting meeting OF the
Lincoln County Truck Growers
Association was held at the Court
House Saturday evening. Every
body reported good progress. Mr..
Atwood declined the honors for
having young tomatoes as large as
a genuine egg, stating that it was
Mr.. Bessonett who said his were
that large. We will probably ship
peas next week, and cabbage about
the first of May.
1t was reported that all protests
against building a loading shed
over the platform at south end of
the Freight Depot, have been with
drawn, and our popular and accom-
modating freight agent, Mr.. w. H.
Stanley, has taken the matter up
with the railroad officials, who will
very likely give us the shed by the
time 1t is needed. The railroad
company, through Mr.. Stanley, has
manifested an interest in our en-
terprlse and a Willingness to do
their part toward helping US along.
We would like a nice shed, of
course, but we du not favor making
a spacious, snowy shed, intended
more for an advertisement than for
handling produce, for we are going
to make our place known by,
throughor in the excellent quality
of the goods We send out.
The committee on crates and
crate material reported that ar
rangements had been made with
Mr.. C. B. Perkins to handle this
part of the business.
The question of having the toma-
toes graded and packed IN town, so
they may be sold under guarantee,
was discussed at length. The
majority of the growers present
were in favor of the proposition,
there being only two or three who
opposed it. However, those favor
ing it did not insist on bringing
the question to a vote at once, be-
llevlng that after due consideration
every one would be in favor Of it.
So the matter was allowed to stano
tor consideration till the meeting
next Saturday evening at three
O'Clock, when 1t will be decided by
vote.
We all know that RIGHT will
win out In the long run in any
question, in any line of business,
In any undertaking. Some of us
are unable, sometimes, to know
just what is right, either through
ignorance or selnshness, but by
careful, honest thought, and the
use OF the Golden Rule, Right
will always come to the surface.
Lincoln said, Let US have faith
that right makes might, and In
that faith let US dare to do our
duty, as we understand it. Ii
Lincoln truck growers will dare to
take the right steps IN this matter
Of grading and packing their
products, Lincoln county will be
the mlghtlest trucking district in
M ississlppi. Why should we fol-
low the example OF our neighbors
when our honest reasonings tell us
there is a better and right way.
Every one Of US is endowed with a
bit OF selhshness and OF course we
are not responsible for it. We
can't help 1t. Ii is born in us. but
in about SO of every 100 of us, that
bit of selfishness is sufficient TO dis
qualify US to wrap and pack our
oWn tomatoes quite as we'll as some
one else can do it for Us, and DO
one knows this fact better than the
fellow at the other end Of the line
who has been buying this kind ot
goods. So it is the old, first law
