INQUIRY BEGINS.
sallinser-Pinchot Controversy to Hold
Center of Stage for Awhile.

Washington.-The Ballinger-Pinchot
congressional inquiry began it's public
sessions on Wednesday with Louis r.
CLAWS, chief accuser of Secretary Bal
linger, on the witness stand.
AS result of many Interruptions
and the final decision of the commit
tee to insist that CLAWS counsel make
an opening statement of the specific
charges against Mr.. Ballinger, the
witness did not get far in his nara
tive.
The charges, in brief, are THAT,
prior to entering the government SER
vice in any capacity, r. A. Ballinger
acted as attorney in drawing up an
agreement in escrow and deeds in the
Wilson Coal company cases in Lewis
county, Washington; these cases be-
laws. Mr.. Ballinger's name did not APP
pear in court records in the case.
That Mr.. Ballinger, as commission
er of the land office in 1907, did not
show due diligence in investigating
alleged frauds connected with the
Cunningham coal land claims in
Alaska; that he had knowledge of all
circumstances surrounding these
claims and, in spite of this, entered
the employ of one of the claimants
after leaving the land Office and before
becoming secretary OF the interior;
that he ordered these claims to be
clear listed for patent without due
investigation, and that they would
have gone TO patent If CLAWS and
others had not interviewed"

COUNTY
CANAL WORK IS
BEING BE6UN.
City DRAINAGE Water Will Be Carried
lnto Walker Lake.

It is interesting to know that the
parties with the contract to con-
struct drainage canals to Walker
Lake, by which the city will be
better drained, have begun the
work.
A large main canal is being dug
from the Y. and M. V. track to the
old Walker Lake, about three miles
south of Greenwood. The Sullivan
& Long Company have begun the
excavating work. Their enormous
dredge has bssn put in operation
and is getting along with the work
nicely.
By next spring all the work on
the new drainage canals will have
been finished, and Greenwood will
be greatly benefited by this addi-
tional drainage. $4,000 was ap-
propriated by the City Council for
this work, which will give our city
ample drainage for many years to
como.

.fLASH-Ll6nT SYSTEM
FOR GREENWOOD
Among the Many Indications of
CTeeawood's Steady Growth.

Greenwood is to have the fash
light telephone system.
This is another stride in progress
that indicates Greenwood's continu-
Gus steady growth and prosperity.
Her institutions are in keeping with
the city, and now the Cumberland
Telephone Company is making
preparations to install fash-light
telephone system in place of the
present magnetic system.
Hon. Foster Hume was in our city
lrst week, and at q meeting of the
Business League discussed the
feasibility of establishing a flash
light system in this city. He was at
once encouraged by q large number
of its patrons present at the meet
ing. So the movement was started,
and Manager Lee Farrell is now cir
culating q petition to get the con-
sent of a goodly number of the pa
irons of his company.
As shown by Mr.. Hume ut the
meeting last week, it Will force his
company to raise toll. Business
phones will have to pay a monthly
rental of $3.50 for the service,
while the resident phones will Jump
up to $2.75. The petition that is
being circulated by Manager Far
rell, of the Greenwood Exchange
has about three hundred signatures
to it, and Mr.. Farrell expresses him
self as being certain that tho sys-
tenn will be installed.
Mr.. Farrell's management of tho
local exchange and the branch at
Itta Bena has attracted the attention
of tho district superintendent, and
high approval and endorsement has
been given Mr.. Farrell. The local
exchange will receive some now
cables in very few weeks, and take
care of the demands for phones in
the new parts of the city.
Greenwood's appreciates Mr.. Far
rell's and Superintendent Hume's
desire to give the city fash-light
system and to keep the phone SER
vice within step of the progressive
strides We are taking these days.

GOVERNOR NOEL
TAKES A HAND.
Commercial Appeals Correspondent
Reports Oh Noei's Opening.

Another interesting new incident
of the week was the first gun fired
from the executive battery, when
Gov. Noel journeyed to Hatties-
burg and there told the people of
that community and nearby sections
scme potent truths concerning the
administration of which be is the
head, and especially as to matters
connected with the legislative ses-
sion. The Governor does not be-
leve that there is any call for him
to defend himself against the
rather free and unrestrained criti-
cism of his own connection with the
Legislature and the Democratic
senatorial nominating caucus into
which it resolved itself. Confident
OF the integrity of his own action
and intentions, and feeling that the
accusations aimed at him will, in
due time, all of their own weight,
he is not disturbed at these carp
ings, but feels that it is incumbent
to do what he can toward dissipat-
ing the false impressions created by
such fulminations, which he deems
rs nothing more than for political
effect.
1t is claimed by the critics that
this activity of the Governor is un-
dignified and unbecoming; that it
can only be construed as an effort on
his own part to share in the anti
Vardamnn campaign, owing to his
own undisguised hostility to his
predecessor that there was no call
to the Governor to get out on the
hustings, and 50 on. But, as stated,
Gov. Noel is confident and assured
as to the rectitude of his own
ideals and intentions, and such criti-
cisms do not seem to affect him in

served, and this morning was taken

the foot perfectly, and a piece of
nail, corresponding to a broken
piece in the shoe, was found in the
horses foot. It is said that the
other feet of the horse showed evi-
dsnce of the shoes having been
lately removed. The parties under
arrest deny any connection with the
crime and say that they have ample
proof of their innocence.
