Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 22.-J. D.
Weaver, mayor of Haskell, Okla, was
this afternoon convicted by jury in
the superior court of selling whiskey

store. Evidence showed large quanti-
ties of whiskey were found in his store
and in his home. He made the defense
that he secured it for his 99-year-old
father, who was feeble and used to
drinking all his life. The jury was
out but short time. Weaver will ap-

PRESIDENT CALLS
GENERAL STRIKE
Organized Labor In Philadelphia May
Walk Out in Sympthy With the
Street Railway Men.
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 22-Presi-
dent Murphy of the Central Labor
Union has called a general strike of
organized labor in Philadelphia, in
sympathy with the striking street rail-
way employees. 1t is claimed that be-
tween seventy-five and a hundred
thousand men will respond to the
Ieall.
President Murphy declares that the
general strike order won't go into
effect until the presidents of the var
ious trades unions approve.
Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-Strike Lead
er Pratt was given a hearing this
morning and held in three thousand
dollars bail, charged with melting a
riot, conspiracy and disorderly con-
duct
Police officials took the initiative
last night in the war being waged be-
tween the striking car men and the
officials of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company, when they arrested
Clarence o. Pratt, the national organ
izer of the Amalgamated Association
of Street & Electric Railway employees
on warrant charging him with con
spring to incite a riot"
The warrant was served on Pratt as
he was leaving an automobile after
he attended a mass meeting of
the union car men. He was locked up
in the city hall and held to await a
hearing this morning.
The police force was augmented last
night by the swearing in for riot
duty of the State Fencibles, an inde-
pendent military organization of
about 200 members, who are not af-
filiated with the national guard. The
organization performed service dur
ing the Spanish-American war. I'm
der the agreement which they hold
their armory from the city they are
obliged to perform police duty when
called upon. They will do duty in
their regular uniforms, armed with
rifles and bayonets.
Five car loads of strike breakers
reached here late last night and were
loaded on trolley cars at the Pennsyl-
vania railroad station in West Phili-
delphia and taken to the car barns
in that section A large squad of
mounted police escorted the cars and
prevented threatened demonstration
by mob of several thousand who
had assembled. Trouble is expected
following the use of these men on the
cars today.
Rioting in the very heart Of the
business section of the city, the at
tempted burning of another car and
many petty attacks by strike sympa-
thizers led the police officials to en-
large their forces by every expedient
and to consider the calling out of
the state militia.
None was killed in the rioting yes
terday although several were injured
when the cars were fired upon with
bricks. A number of incandescent
light globes cracked like revolvers,
people badly.
The first fatality of the rioting oc-
cured last night when an unidentified |
man died at a hospital. He was in
ured in a clash between mob and |
he police.

The Williams Interview.

Some long and ear-piercing
hoWls Of anguish are being
emitted because Senator-elect
John Sharp Williams has seen fit
to express his opinion on the
pending senatorial contest, says
the Jackson News.
The contention that Mr.. Will
liamS should be hands Off in the
present contest is nothing short
of baby talk.
John Sharp Williams is 21
years of age, able to read and
write, has fair conception of
the meaning Of Mississippi's con-
stitutiOn, and of the constitution
of the United States, and has
paid all taxes assessed against
him.
In other words. John Sharp
Williams is a qualified elector of
the State OF Mississippi, and has
the God-given right to exl ress
an opinion whenever he sees fit
to do so.
Furthermore, the opinion of
John Sharp Williams carries
weight, it is worth something
becaus he is statesman and
knows the qualifications that a
United States Senator ought to
possess.
Keep your temper, gentlemen,
keep your temper! And above
all thing, bear in mind that pol
itics is a game of give and take,
and the man who is unwilling to
play it according to the rules of
the game, neither asking or
giving quarter, ought to quit.
John Sharp Williams has not
hit anybody below the belt. He
has simply ventured his opinion,
as he had an inallenable right to
do, and the criticisms of his IN
terview are nothing more than a
recognation of the fact that opin-
ion of Mr.. Williams is worth
something.

/ had the attorney general to
pass on the disposition of the fund
collected for our agricultural high
school. He has gone into matter
thoroughly and says that the board
of supervisors can have it placed
in the common fund and use it and
that no one who did not protest at
the time he paid his taxes can de-
mand it paid back. The board
can use this and next time they
levy taxes can raise a half mill for
the agricultural high school and
It the same time not raise the
levy. The bill Will be amended
and passed at this session and all
of the counties will soon have
these much needed schools and the
present bill asks that -, 800 be
appropriated for their support.
The people are getting aroused to
the fact that our young men need
practical training and agricultural
education and the legislature will
be called on to furnish the money.
Some counties are now levying an
additional tax of four mills to run
their public schools and we had
hard work to levy half mill for
the agricultural school.
Under the present apportion-
ment of the public school fund and
pensions, and our share being in
crease $4,000 or $4,000, NoXubee
county will again be in the column
of counties that receive as much
back from the state as we pay in.
For the past two years we paid IN
about $4,000 more. Monroe county
receives $4,000 more than she pays
in. This is not fair to the other
counties and will have to be RENE
died some way, even if we have to
have a constitutional convention.
We ought to pay our share OF the
states expenses.
We had Messrs. AllgOOd, Brame,
Boyd, w. L. Williams and his
son Hampton with us this week.
Mrs. Sylvester Mullens is also in
the city to attend the marriage of
her friend, Miss Emmie Powers.

says, until they elect Vardaman.

This attraction comes here af-
ter being acclaimed in New
York, Boston, Philadelphia,

dramatization of the time. In
the latter city the police were
called to clear the street in front
of the theatre so great was the

kind, will endeavor to have pa
irons of the theatre secure their

It would be folly to dwell at
length on the story, for who has
not read McCutcheon's book?
And where can you find read
er who is not familiar with
"Graustark," " with it's many
thrilling incidents, the charm of
its love episodes and it's vein of
exquisite humor.
To faithfully reproduces the
scenes in and around the princi-

crew of expert stage mechanics
is carried to manipulate the mass
i've and intricate devices utilized
in this realistic masterpiece of
stagecraft.

Changes at the South.
Washington Post

| Washington Post.)
The boil weevil is playing 9
big part in the political and so.
cial economy of the State OF
Mississippe. A dispatch from
Jackson tells the astounding
news that Mississippi is export
ing corn and hogs, Thousands
of negroes are leaving the State
because of the decreased area
planted to cotton. They are 60
ing to Arkansas, Oklahoma and
to the North.
1t is now demonstrated that
Mississippi can beat even Colora-
do growing alfalfa, and six NOW
ings of a field have been made in
single season in Noxubee Coun-
ty. Alfalfa, corn, salt and hick-
ory wood ashes will make you a
30O-pound hog in the mild eli
mate Of Mississippi when the an
irnal is but six months old. The
haRsher climate of Iowa and
Missouri requires more food and
a longer period to develop the
porker of 300 pounds. -.
But Mississippi is to be especi-
ally congratulated upon the fact
Of the exodus of the negro. Il
were infinitely better that tie
race be scattered and the North
receive it's full quota of the man
and ll~other. 1t is true that Mr..
Booker Washington advises the
negro to remain in the South,
and he discourages all sugges-
tionst that he go North.
but>.he negro is an American
and it is to his harm that he he
confined to a single section. Nor
will he be confined there, for
there are more negroes in India
napolis than in Mem ohis; more
in Washington than in New Or
leans; more in Chicago than in
Atlanta
The next census is going to re-
veal things that will astonish the
country, and we may rest pretty
safe in the hope and the belief
that the race problem will be
disseminated and the North
made to bear her fair share.
An Eastern boot and shoe
manufactured defends the pro-
posed advance in shoe prices
about as follows, says an ex-
change: High cost of beef has
decreased consumption; decreas-
ed consumption has decreased
the number Of cattle raised for
beef purposes; decrese in the
number of cattle has decreased
the number of hides and increas-
ed their price to the manufact-
urer, necessitating an increase
in the price his product. So
that the consumer forced to
turn vegetarian by increased
meat prices may be forced to go
barefoot or surrender the saving
on his meat bill to liquidate his
shoe bill. The ultimate con-
sumer' seems to be in a bad
way.
Some of. the radical papers are
charging that the deadlock will
last as long as the money and
the booze hold out in Jackson.
A man who will insinuate such a
charge concerning the states
legislators is wilful slanderer.
There are scoundrels in every
crowd, but vast majority of
Mississippi's legislators cannot
be subjected to such influences.
