OLLIE ITEMS.
"a ns have a GOOD rain,

Let us have a good rain.
We had small blaze in town a
few days ago when the dwelling of
Mr.. R.. P. jackson was discovered
to be on fire, but the heroic work
of our fire. boys soon extinguished.
The only incident to mar the per-
feet wor king Of the fire company
was, the chief. in his excitement,
grabbed coal Oil can instead of a
fire bucket. However we think
the whole company deserves a
Carnegie hero medal.
Mr.. Frank Cox was a visitor to
Natchez one day last week. He
intended crossing over into
Louisiana. but says the water was
SO high he could not cross.
We think from the cotton that is
being planted in this section that
the boil weeyil is rejoicing over his
fine prospects. Mr.. Farmer, you
had better take Hard Tack's advice
and diversity. Plant leguminous
crops and then as the Irishman
said, you can cultivate your land
for a hundred years and bejabbers
turn it over and cultivate the other
side.
On last Sunday Mr.. John Sutton
and Miss Ollie Linton were happily
married. John is youth of great
promise, while his fair young
bride has many attractions. May
their brightest hopes on earth be
realized. their barque glide smooth
ly over the connubiaI waters and at
last anchor safely in the harbor of
eternal rest.
We see some one has predicted
the world is coming to an end in
May. Wonder if that will put the
boil Weevil out of business?
Mr.. Odus Case was called few
days since to attend the funeral Of
his little nephew.
Mr.. Lonnie Case made a business
trip to Brookhaven last Monday.

The RedislFicline Bill.

The Senate and House have com
promised and adjusted their differ
ences on the redistricting bill.
According to the terms Of the COM
promise the four new district
attorneys provided for will be APP
pointed by the Governor as we'll
as the four Judges. AS soon now
as the bill receives the signature
of the Governor it will become a
law.
Judge D. M. Miller, Of Halle
hurst, man eminently qualified,
it is generally believed, will re-
ceive the appointment for the new
district composed Of the counties
of Copiah, Lincoln and Pike. The.
other applicants for the judgeship
are Hons. ]. B. Webb and M. Nc
Gullough. Of Lincoln. and Hons.
w B. Nixon and j. q. Whitfield.
Of Pike.
It is announced that Hugh B.
Miller, of Hazlehurst, son of Hon.
R. N. Miller. the celebrated Grim
.inal lawyer. is an applicant for
district attorney. in opposition to
District Attorney Hugh V. Wall,
Of Brookhayen. the present incum-
bent. who is an applicant for ap-
polntment in the new district.
Mr., Wall is thrown out Of the old
Sixth District under the new ap-
portionment act which takes Lin
coin and Pike out of that district.
AS he was elected District Attorney
for four years ending January.
1912. by the people of two of the
three counties composing the new
district. and was a resident of the
territory composing the new dis
trict at the time elected, as now,
he is entitled to serve out the term
for which he was chosen (having
served the people acceptably), and
the Governor should appoint him,
if an appointment must be made.
There has been quite enough dis
regard of the will Of the people in
some directions already.

your beat in any contest. It is
very important that these certifi-
Gates be sent to me at least ten
days before Field Day. We also
wish it clearly understood that no
pupil will be allowed to enter any
contest who has not one of these
certificates.
We would also earnestly urge
that the beat leaders and the in
dividual teachers be sure that no
pupil be allowed to enter any con-
test about whose age there is any
doubt, that is, about whose eligi-
bility as to age there is any doubt.
If you are convinced that any boy
or girl is over age do not sign the
certificate, or if you are in doubt,
send their names to me here at
Brookhaven and we will have it
Investigated. This is one thing
that we want to be sure about, and
see to it that no pupil be allowed
to enter any contest about whose
eligibility as to age there is any
doubt. We understand that some
who were over age contested last
year. Let all of us make it a point
to see that it does not occur again.
In regard to, the new rule which
was passed by the Association some
time ago, in which it was stated
that if a pupil had come to Brook
haven once to represent his beat in
any contest that he could not
come again for the same contest;
we wish it understood that this
does not bar any pupil from con-
testing in the Beat contest as often
as he may wish, provided he has
not won the place to represent his
beat at Brookhaven.

The Bribery INVESTIGATION At Jackson

The Bribery Investigation at Jackson.
The charges Of bribery in various
forms are now under investigation
behind closed doors by three several
tribunals in Jackson. The Kinds
county grand jury. which began
fse cork and indicted l.. G., Du-
laney, a noted political boss Of the
Delta, for bribing Senator Bilbo, is
not yet through with its probing,
and there are rumors that it will
bring in bills against others. The
State Senate is sitting behind
barred doors, investigating the
Bilbo-Dulan case with view to
ascertaining whether Senator Bilbo
should be exonerated or expelled.
Meanwhile the House investigating.
committee of five, appointed under.
the Foy resolution. are holding
nightly sessions behind closed
doors, and their enquiry is taking
as wide range as that of the
grand jury.
The developments Of the last
week are the absorbing topic at
jackson and throughout the State
and the end is not yet in sight.

The Democratic caucus Of the

for the disfranchisement Of the

It is stated that there is no like
lihood of an increase in the State
tax levy by the Legislature, though
the privilege tax list will be some
what enlarged. The appropria-
tions as far as figured on will be
up to about seven millions, and if
a deficit is to be avoided, it will
resolve itself into either bond is
sue of perhaps $5OO.OO0 or a loan.
and this seems to be the situation
to the men who have to figure be-
tween outgo and income for the
biennial period.

The election of Woodrow
Wilson for governor of New
Jersey and the reelection of
Governor Harmon in Ohio,
means that these two men,
will loom up conspicuously
as democratic candidates for
the presidential nomination
in 1912. To the list may also
be added Governor elect Dix
of New York and Mayor Gay
nor of New York City. AS
yet Wilson and Dix have had
no experience as public SER
wants, but if they "make
good" as chief executives Of
their respective states, each
one will no doubt go into the
national convention with a
strong following. Harmon at
present has the advantage of
a good record as governor,
backed by his reelection by
an increased majority over
two years ago. OF course
many things can happen be-
tween now and the time for
nominating presidential can
didates, bnt it is not unreason-
able TO believe tn 1t one of the
above named men will be the
next democratic standard
bearer.

proximately l25, 600. To this
Kansas City contributed a.
600 more against the amend
ment, while the rural districts
failed to give as large ''dry"
majoritics as the prohibition
lists expected. AS the people
Of Oregon are known as
'web-footers," it was quite
natural that they should vote
against any proposition that
would tend to make the state
dry. The vote for governor
in this state also indicates
that sentiment is changing on
the liquor question. While
it is true the democratic state
platform favored the enforce
ment of the local option law,
yet the attitude of the two
candidates for governor on
this question was so well
known that several thousand
''wet" republican votes went
to James HI. Hawley. There
is no doubt but what many
people in Idaho, who were
formerly in favor of prohibi-
ton, have come to the conclu-
sion that "a safe and sane"
regulation of the liquor traffic
is far better than local option
or state wide prohibition,
which means the promiscuous
sale of liquor, from which no
revenue is derived.

The results on county tick

! The results on county tick
cts throughout thestate show
that the people will not stand
by their party tickets when
it comes to voting for local
candidates. In only two or
three counties did the the re-
publicans make a clean sweep
and we believe there rs not a
a county in which the demo
Gratis elected their entire
ticket. In several couutit S
which have heretofore been
strongly democratic the re-
publicans this year secured a
number of the officers and
vice versa. In this respect
the voters of Bear Lake are
not different from those of
other counties. While the
republican state ticket receiy-
ed comfortable maiorities,
three candidates on the coun-
ty ticket went down to defeat
and two others had close calls.
Messers Rich, Olson and
Merrill were not defeated be-
cause of their Incompetence
or because they were not good
citizens for all three of them
are considered among the best
men in the county, and were
as deserving of the support of
the republicans as were the
other candidates, but for I'M
known reasons a sufficient
number of republicans voted
against them to cause their
defeat. Personal friendship
for the democratic candidates
of course caused some to vote
against these republicans, but
we imagine that many voted
against them for most trivial
reasons. While the Examiner
sincerely regrets the defeat
IF these men, there is some
satisfaction in knowing that
heir successful opponents
ire clean, capable men and
will serve the county well in
heir respective Offices.

FIELDING ACADEMY NOTES.

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE beautiful and
interesting lecture of Prof. Sias can
not ce overestimated From the first
he csptivated his listeners and for
almost two honrs they scared with
him in the blooming field of thought.
Fhe examples he used to show how
man Is the only animal out of tune
with his environments and fellow
beings, were wonderful. In his pow
erful manner, Mr.. Sias showed a
shining road for each person to fol-
low, at the end of which is q bright
star ideal. The quotation from Proc
ter applies TO the lecture:
1T linked all perplexed meanings,
Into one perfect peace.
And trembled away in silence
As if it were loath to cease"
The next lecture will be given by
Carter, the great cartoonist.
Wednesday, Nov. 9. a splendid pro-
gram was given by the student body.
Each month one of these programs
will be given, in which the best talent
of theschool will be displayed. Come
to the next one and visit the school
while you are here.
During the past week Pres. q. r.
Shepherd spoke to the boys on the
necessity of pure life and Mrs.
Mary Sutton to the girls on the ne
cessity of prayer.
The Senior class, on the night of
Nov. 10, had a camp fireN party.
About nine o'clock the students
briskly assembled the Academy hill
with lanterns, lunch and wraps. Soon
bright fire was glowing near the
building. Potatoes were thrown into
the fire and preparations made for
having good time. Games were
played until the potatoes were suffic-
iently cooked and then a camp fire
supper was served. An onlookeF
might have thought that it was Hal
lowe'en and the witches were par
taking of their midnight supper.
Remember the dance Friday night /!
The Fielding dances are regulated
by some of the instructors and they
are carried on in a sociable and
orderly manner.

really regrets that they did
not give him a democratic

secure the passage of any
special democratic measures
and be will have it in his
