JOSEPH KNEW HIS SLAYERS.

E'I am going like lamb to the
Slaughter is an expression credited
to Joseph Smith when on that memoir
able day at Nauvoo he was induced
by his brethren to return from his
proposed flight to face those who sought
his life. The Nauvoo Times and Sea
sons of July Is, 1874 (page 5S5), lays
particular editorial stress upon this ex-
pressed resignation to fate attributed to
Joseph And ever since that time it
has been used and peddled about as an
evidence of the meek and martyr-like
submlssiveness OF the pretended prophet
to the will of Omnipotence, However,
in the issue of the Nauvoo Times and
Seasons of August /, 1874, there appears
letter from Doctor Willard Rich
ards, who shared the exciting minutes
in Carthage Jail with Joseph and Hy-
rum Smith and John Taylor imme-
diately preceding the assassination. He
describes the rapidly events
that were crowded into those anxious
moments IN much detail. Of the circum-
stances which transpired just as Hyrum
fell to the floor, Doctor Richards says:
Joseph looked towards him and re-
sponded: 20 dear, Brother Hyrum"' and

space as before. three barrels of which
missed fire.
Those were terrible scenes and fright
there was nothing at all lamb-like about
the conduct of Joseph during their en-
actment and passage. And, further
when the alleged prophet saw that the
mob had the little group ccrnered, and
that it meant death to remain in that
1t was while in the act of jumping
from the window that Joseph was
pierced by the bullets of the enraced
Mormons, apostates, and their mob
allies, 1t is also said that in his dire
extremity he forgot all about the Lord,

connected with an order to which he
once belonged.
Now, while church publicists and pull
piteers blasphemously attempt to paral-
lei the death of Joseph Smith with
the cruciixion of the Savior, the facts
recorded in history 90 to show that
there was absolutely no similarity be
tween the events and the behavior char
acterizing them.
In the one case was exhibited the
magnificent patience and the splendid
forgiving spirit of One who suffered
for what He knew to be His innocence
and the truth In the other was the
struggle of guilty man against the
vengeance of outraged brethren. 1t is
the utmost sacrilege TO make any at
tempt at paralleling the two events and
the chief figures in them; but neither
that, nor any other systematic faIsehood
OF misrepresentation can deter the
church organs from deifying Joseph
Smith at the expense of all decency.

Will MAKE TALK ON
EDUCATIONAL Lines
Will Show Relation Between City and
Country in Development of Agricu-
turaI Resources-ls a Forceful and
Eloquent Speaker.

Prof. w. H. Smith, of Natchez, a
distinguished educator and originator
of the Corn Club" movement in Mis-
sissippi, will deliver lecture at the
court house in Hattiesburg tomorrow
night at o'clock.
Mr.. Smith was in Hattiesburg yes
terday, and while here was seen by
several prominent citizens of the city,
who urged him to deliver a lecture
here. The invitation was pressed to
the extent that Mr.. Smith consented
to come back, and will talk to the peo-
pie of the city on subjects which
should prove of much interest at this
time.
The relation of the city to the coun-
try in the agricultural development of
/ section will be the principal subject
of the discourse, and it is conceded
that perhaps no one in Mississippi is
as well equipped with information
along these lines as is Mr.. Smith. He
has organized corn clubs in nearly
every county in the state, and is a
recognized authority on agricultural
topics.
Citizens of Hattiesburg will doubt
less be glad of an opportunity to hear
an address by this distinguished gen
tleman and il is hoped that as many
as can conveniently do so will atteno
the lecture Wednesday night. Every
body is invited, and no admission fees
will be charged.
Mr.. Smith will remain in fiatties
burg for several days, and while here
will be the guest of Prof. w. B. Wood
ley, Messrs. H. A. Camp, w. S. F
Tatum and others.

Will SPEAK FOR The
ELECTIVE JUDICIARY
Committee Has Been Organized For
Reception And Entertainment Of
Governor, And VIII Meet And Make
Definite Plans Tonight.

Gov. Noel is taking a swing around
the circle for the purpose of urging
the Importance of adopting the consti-
tutional amendments now under con-
sideration, and Hattiesburg has been
included in his route. He will speak
here Wednesday night, but the exact
time and place has not as yet been
determined. A committee has been
organized for the reception and en-
tertainment of the Governor and this
committee will meet tonight and
make definite plans. The Governor
will no doubt be heard by a large
crowd, and the following special to
the Commercial-Appeal from Jackson,
will suggest the subjects he will dis
cuss:
when Gov. Noel takes the stump
for the purpose of urging the impor-
tance of the constitutional amend
ments on the people of the state, he
has promised to take advantage of the
opportunity which such an itinerary
will afford to explain certain matters
of executive and official routine as to
which he feels sure great many of
the people have only superficial infor-
nation. 1t has been charged and re-
iterated from the stump and by news
paper contributors in the state that
the influence of the executive depart
men had been utilized for Interior
purposes-in other words, in opposi-
tion to the aspirations of his imme-
diate predecessor in office. The i'm
pressions thus impaired appear to
have taken rather firm foothold, and
Gov. Noel deems it incumbent upon
him to take such steps as he may,
consistently with his official duties
and the dignity of his office. to dis
sipate such wrong impressions. He
declares that this campaign which he
proposes is not to be in any way a
campaign of defense; neither is it to
be in the nature of campaign in the
interest of any candidate for office,
especially in the senatorial race, but
rather an effort on his part to carry
information to the people, which is
their due"

HARMON CHECKS
THE RACING game
County Authorities Have Clamped
Down the Lid on the Betting Ring
At Cleveland Track.
.(By Associated PreSo.)

Cleveland, O., Aug. T5.-Acting un-
der peremptory Instructions from
Governor Harmon, the county authorl-
ties Saturday clamped down the lid
on the betting ring at North Randall
track three hours before the close
of the grand circuit race meeting. As
result it is predicted that the track
may be permanently closed.
Sheriff A. ]. Hirstius retired from
the raid with his pockets, his hat and
I the fullness of his shirt stuffed with
currency and tonight a swarm of ag-
grieved bettors are looking through
the downtown streets for the book
makers armed with tickets that have
not been redeemed.
The book-makers mysteriously
learned at noon that raid
was scheduled. Bondsmen were
on hand to provide bail in
case arrests should be made.
At $3.50 o'clock, nevertheless, when
the sheriff, with his deputies ap-
peared, the book-makers were in full
voice and a string of contented win
ners was walking past the little
stands engaged in cashing in. Hrs
thus boarded the first stand and seized
the box of money His chief deputy
made as quick work of these persons
and as many more. The book-makers
quickly disappeared and the ticket
holders alarmed made haste for refuge
in the grand stand.
One book-maker in his flight scat
tered greenbacks and gold in his
precipitate haste. The ticket holders
who braved the law to ask their mon
ey back were informed that the cash
would be turned over to charity.
The raid Saturday followed sharI

The first step toward making Kam-

while the performance is going on.
The films will be furnished by the
Imported Film Supply Co., of New

guarantees that they will furnish the
most interesting pictures obtainable

Law Works a Hardship
On Mississippi Prisoners

was in violation of the constitution.
AS a result of this decision of the
supreme court, the prisoners released
when the new law became effective,
were re-arrested and are still in jail.
And the longer a prisoner remains in
Jail the more money it will take to
get him out. A prisoner is charged 25
cents day for his maintenance, and
before he could serve out his time at
so cents day, he would have bill
for food that would keep him in prison
for the remainder of his natural life.
There is a white man in the Law
renee county Jail sentenced to one
year and to pay fine of $500 for the
unlawful sale of liquor. He was re-
leased under the law of 1908, but was
re-arrested after the decision of the
supreme court, and if he has to serve
out his fine, cost of court and mainte'
nance, this man will never gain his
freedom again, unless pardoned by the
governor.
While serving out his one years
sentence and having served two years
on his fine, this man has accumulated
debt of $27375 for food and Other
necessaries of life. During the two
years following his one-year term
this man has served out, at 80 cents
a day, $3.50 of his fine of $500.
