Want HIGHTOWER
TO GO Higher
President Of the Mississippi Farmers
Union Is Being Urged for the Ma
tional Presidency.

JACKSON, September 2.--arother
job has been found for President G..
R. Hightower, of the Mississippi divi-
sion of the Farmers Union whether
he wants it or not. In fact. for long
time the friends Of Mir. I-.5htower
have been mucn more active in hunt
ing jobs for him than he has been
| lodging denials of the reports that
he would be a candidate.
| This time, according to reports that
reach here today, concerted effort
on the part of leading members and
officials of the union from several
states, will be made to promote Mr.
Hightower to the national presidency
of the organization, to succeed Mr.
Charles S. Barrett, of Georgia, the
present incumbent, who, it is under
stood, does not want to be elected and
might not accept even if urged to do
SO.
Mr.. Hightower himself, when seen
this morning, had not heard of the
new efforts in his behalf, although he
did know of similar arrangement a
year ago which he himself foiled by
declining to have his name considered
In this instance he says he is in no
sense candidate for the national pres
idency. Whether or not he would ac-
cept if pressed, he will not commit
himself. 1t would depend on several
things, and he prefers not to accept or
reject the place before it is rendered
him anyway.
Mr.. Hightower is, apparently, pleas
ed with the work he is doing in build
ing up the big warehouse plans of the
Farmers Union in Mississippi, along
and encouraging the following of SINH
lar plans in other states. But that is
mainly why the other states want him
for the national job. They want his CO.
operation and advice, and he has been
more successful than has the president
Of any other state along that line at
least.
But his work here is in an unfinish-
ed state, and he would be reluctant
to leave it so. He might be able to do
it by selecting as his successor some
man who has been associated with
him in the work and is familiar with
il.
The national presidency will come
up in the national convention in Birm
ingham, Ala, which convenes on Sept
9Th, and at which there will be sew
eral Mississippi delegates, including
Secretary Russell, Business Agen
Collins, Lecturer Bradshaw, Executive
Committeeman Jones and one or two
others, including perhaps Miss Viii
son, of Chickasaw county, the only
lady selected at the last state conven
ton here.

TRAGEDY
Case Which has Attracted Considera
BILE Attention is Being lnvestisat-
ed in Yazoo City.

YAZOO CITY, Miss, September 3.
In the little village of Deasonv1lle,
Yazoo County, which is located in the
interior, several miles from the main
line of the Illinois Central Railway,
there was begun Wednesday the pre-
liminary investigation Of the terrible
Wiltshire tragedy which was enacted
in that vicinity a week ago last Sat
urday. There are four parties de-
PENDANT in the case, including Lee
Wiltshire, a brother of John Wiltshire
the dead man, Mr.. John wiltshire,
wife of the deceased; Will knight,
the stepfather of Mrs. Wiltshire; and
Jack Knight, the former husband Of
Mrs. John Wiltshire. The hearing was
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-09-03
THE HATTIESBURG NEWS

to be conducted by Esquire j. d. Hen
derson, who has invited Magistrates
George V. Warren, of the second va
zoo District, and s. W. Leach, of the
fourth, to participate with him, and is
expected to last two or three days.
Leaving last night for Deaconville,
via Waughns Station, were several
attorneys who are in the case, with
whom went also District Attorney M.
S. Mcneil, who will represent the
commonwealth. Attorney J. F. Bar
bour represents Lee Wiltshire, the
brother, who is said to have fired the
shot that killed; T. H. Campbell, Jr.,
of Yazoo City, represents Mrs. John
Wiltshire, the widow, who is alleged to
have been involved in the murder,
and j. c. Holmes. also of Yazoo City,
who is also counsel for Will and Jack
knight.
District Attorney Mcneil has no
information in regard to the affair,
save such as he had picked up from
published reports of the killing, and
from heresay, and was not prepared
to make any statement as to the line
of prosecution. Attorneys for the
defendants were equally as reticent
in regard to their clients position or
to what extent they are involved,
though they realize that it is very
much mixed and complicated.
The lawyers in the Wilcher-Kite
tragedy met District Attorney Mcneil
in Jackson and by agreement they
waived a preliminary hearing at Dea-
sonville. District Attorney Mcneil
went to Jacksonville and investigated
the matter and recommended that
Jack Kite be realised on a $3.50 bond.
The evidence has accumulated against
the other three so unanimously and
conclusively that there seems to be
no doubt about their guilt
The fact that the wife and brother
of the murdered man should conspire
with his supposed friends to murder
him has so incensed the Jacksonville
community that they are ready to
lynch the murderers. These Deason-
vile folks are heightened, law-abid-
| ing people, but their community has
been so horribly outraged and disgrace
ed that they stand ready to mete out
| justice to the offenders if the courts
do not The attorneys knew that If
they had gone to Jacksonville for the
preliminary hearing ftheir clients
that they would endanger them, and
most especially If they had been re-
leased or given bond.
Jack Kite made his bond yesterday
and was released. The grand jury
will hardly indict him, as the evidence
shows that he was not there. Jack
Kite was the divorced husband Of Mrs
Wilcher, hence tile strange suspicion
against him at first
There will doubtless be a habeaS
corpus proceeding to release the 9th
ers on bail. If so this will come VI
before Chancellor Lyell soon. This
chanvces are, however, that bail will
be denied, and that they will remain il
jail to await cirucit court.

UNCLE SAM OFFERS
N IN o N

Washington, May 6.-Homes on
government land and homes in a
government town are to be offered to
~homeseekers on May % and "a at
unit of the Shoshone irrigation
project in Northern Wyoming will.
be thrown open to homestead entry,
and on the oath the lots in the govern
ment town of Powell. in the center of
the irrtgable area, will be sold at auc-
ton to the highest bidder.
The first unit OF the Shosone project
was opened only a year ago, but 80 rap
idly were the farms taken up that 1t
was necessary to ush the work on the
canals, so that additional land could be
made available this spring. In the first
unit, eight farm houses or more to the
mile have been built along the main
highways. There will never he any iso-
lation or loneliness among the farmers
here. The soil is exceedingly fertile. the
climate delightful, and the ~transporta-
ton facilities good.
The farms are obtainable under the
homestead law, subject to the charges
of actual cost of supplying water to the
land. This charge has been fixed at
SAG per acre. payable In 10 annual in
stallments, without interest. The an
nual4 cost OF maintaining and operat-
aefe. 20
The principal crops are alfalfa, g
beets, cereals, hardy fruits and vege-
tables. Potatoes yield from 200 to 400
bushels per acre and are of fine quail
ity. Wheat Yields from 40 to 60 bushels
per acre. oats average go bushels, al
though the yield has in some instances
exceeded 100 bushels per acre. The
small fruits that have been grown are
very prolific and possess a Inc flavor,
and 1t 10 believed that apples will be a
profitable crop.
The inf1ux Of a large number Of set
tiers to this region has created a de-
mand for all sorts of supplies and all
sorts Of industries. and the towns on
h project are growing rapidly.
