Greenwood, Miss, March 15.-As
the result of two deputy sheriffs raid
ing a place of ill-repute last Saturday
night at Minter City, about fifteen
miles north of here, Deputy Sheriff
w. T. Young is lying at deaths door
this morning with no hopes for his
recovery, and a negro, Tom Ham
mond, who waylaid and shot the dep
uty, is dead, fairly riddled with bull
let's from the guns of a posse of men
who captured him several hours after
the shooting of the deputy.
Excitement was intense in this
city early Sunday morning when the
news of the shooting was first brought
here, as for some time the officers
have tried unsuccessfully to stamp out
the blind tiger menace around Minter
City, but without success, and it was
known that some of the so-called
bad" negroes had made threats
against the officers.
1t is now thought, from the confes
sions made by one of the five other
negroes captured in the raid, that the
plot had been previously laid to Kill
Deputy Young.
The shooting occurred when the of
ficer had gone into the house to ar
rest the negroes. Hammond, who
was on the outside, shot through &
hole through window with revol
yer, tearing a hole through the off
GERS stomach.

TO HAVE STATE farm
IN THE P|NEY WOODS
Hon. Stokes Robertson Secures
Amendment Which Permits
Establishment Of One.

The ability of Representative Rob-
ertson to look after the interests of
his constituents, and to get every
thing they are entitled to have, was
demonstrated when the bill ,authoriz-
ing the trustees of the state peniten.
tiary to purchase 1000 acres Of addi-
tional land to be used as state farm,
was taken up in the house of repre-
sentatives the latter part of last week.
The bill, as originally introduced,
was intended to apply only to Sun
flower and adjoining counties, but Mr..
Robertson succeeded in getting in an
amendment authorizing the trustees to
select this land in any section of the
state, his object being to give the cut
over territory chance to secure the
location of this farm, and, in sense,
provide a big demonstration station
under the exclusive control of the
state.

co. ATTORNEY BILL
comes UP TODAY
Bill WAL Probably Be Amended So as
to Make the Office Saiaried
One, it is Thought.
Special to The. Neaos.

Special to The Neaos.
Jackson. Miss, March 15.-The
county attorneys bill will be taken up
by the house judiciary committee
Wednesday. A subcommittee was ap-
pointed last week to consider and per-
feet certain amendments to this meas
ure, and it probably will be reported
back Thursday morning. But it prob
ably will be amended so as to make
the Office a salaried one, instead Of
putting it on the fee system.
This bill has been endorsed by the
state bar association, the Methodist
conference, which met at Brookhaven,
and several other organizations and
it is believed that to create an office
of this kind would do more to secure
a uniform enforcement of the law
than any other measure that could be
introduced. Governor Noel, in recon-
mendipg the measure, did not care
whether it was a salaried or fee po-
sitioH, but he believed 1t would do
worls of good against "blunderbus to-
tes," blind tigers and other such
criminals, to say nothing Of the aid
he could render the district attorney
in prosecuting criminals before the
circuit court
At present the state has no officer
to represent the people before Jus
tice Of the peace for felonies, misde-
meanors and murder cases. This
work falls upon the district attorney
when the case comes up for trial in
ka kS<rh ,,rf "a
witnesses, the jury, and look after all
details, and If there was county at
torney he could more than earn his
salary by representing the state at
the preliminary trial for capital
crimes, felonies and other litigation
before the justice court. BY this
means all useless witnesses could be
eliminated and other material witness
es secured. BY eliminating the use
less witnesses, big saving to the state
and county could be made. as the
county attorney would be on the
ground and would be familiar with all
details of every case. The state. It
il we'll known, Is frequently deprived
of important witnesses because the
district attorney Is not familiar with
the case.
The county attorney could be un.
der the direction of the circuit Judge
and district attorney, under the pro
visions of the bill as 1t passed the
house, and while the bill will be
amended, and may be unfavorably re
ported by the house, 1t is believed II
will pass the house, II 1t comes before
tnat body, practically as It passed the
senate, except as to the fees.
Another feature of the bill is that
the supervisors mar accept the county
attorney as their legal advisor, though
this Is discretionary With the board.

IN MEMOIR OF MARY RoeAtEE
SCHAMBER LovETT.

Mary Rosalee Schamber Lovett was
the only daughter Of Annie Carnell
and William C. Schamber. She was
born In Meridian, Miss, March 80.
1893. On October 10, 1908, she was
united in marriage to James R. Lovett
and spent one year and five months
of happy welded life, when the Death
Angel summoned her Home.
Rosalee became suddenly very III
with appendicitis Saturday morning,
nurses, loving and anxious relatives
and friends could do, was done; but
without avail, and her precious spirit
passed over the River at one a. m
Friday morning, March 18th, leaving
a broken-hearted husband, mother,
brother and a host of relatives and
friends.
Rosalee had only lived seventeen
years, but in that time had unknow-
ingly wrapped herself In our hearts
that no time can ever sever. Her
dear form was carried to Meridian and
placed beside her father in Rose Hill
cemetery.
It is spring, and the soft gentle
breezes have come, and the world
in its beauty is clad; but an Angel
has called, and our Rosalee is gone
| and our home Is SO lonely and sad.
1t was morning for her, in her
sweet life so fair, so useful. and just
in full bloom. While many unworthy
are lettering here. so listless, till late
afternoon.
Oh, could she be with us, Just now
once again, our home would seen
HAPPY and bright; but so dark is thu
shadow now cast DER our home, I
seems like long lonely night.
( "But, STOP" says voice; "Oh, VIII,
do you mourn? Your Rosalee is no
with the dead; It Is springtime Il
heaven and they called her to come
she is only Just walking ahead"
Some here are not worthy, but sh
was SO kind, and fitted to be with tn
blest This world is not bright wit
its heart-aches and night; there is
place where the worthy may rest.
Oh, why should we ask that ou
darling come back, there is troubl
: and pain in this world. We had be

Has Passed the House.

The bill, as amended by Mr.. Rob-
oItson, has passed the house, and it
is understood that Governor Noel ia
vors the idea of establishing the farm
near Hattiesburg, provided certain
conditions are complied with. Mr.
Robertson was given to understand
by local business men that in the
event the suggestion should be con-
sidered favorably, free donation to
the state of 10000 acres of land would
be rendered, and in case this proposi.
tion Is put in definite form, it is be-
lieved that Governor Noel will recon-
mend its acceptance by the board Of
trustees.
In speaking of the matter recently.
Governor Noel said that he did not
think it bad idea, to consider the
proposal to locate the farm on cut
over lands near Hattiesburg, as it
would be in the nature of demon
stration farm, to show the people
what the lands would produce under
certain conditions.
1t is understood that land
owners will offer to donate
the necessary 1000 acres of
land, If the farm is located in Forrest
county. The business men of the
city believe that, to locate state
farm here. would result in bringing
many farmers to this immediate sec.
ton, as the land would be intensely
cultivated by the most scientific meth.
ods, and would furnish undisputable
evidence of the superior quality OF
the soil and its adaptability to all
kinds of crops.
Mr.. Robertson-s idea.
| 1t is Mr.. Robertson's idea to have
Hattiesburg submit a definite
proposal to the trustees of the
penitantiary. at aa early q date as
possible. SO that the farm may be Sc
lected and its cultivation begun dur
ling the present season. The location
of such an immense farm in Forrest
tcounty would undoubtedly be Of In
estimable benefit to the entire section
as from its operation statistics coult
be gathered which would be Of more
benefit than those obtained from ordi
nary sources. and prospective home
seekers could be shown the growing
crops, the method of cultivation an(
be given q practical demonstration o
what the soil is capable Of producing
Such a farm. 1t is believed, woult
be of more benefit to the county thai
would small experiment station, al
it would be under the direct super
vision of the penitentiary trustee
and operated exclusively by convic
labor. resulting, naturally, in the yer,
highest possible production Of al
crops planted. as these farms are or
Grated by the state solely for the reve
nue. to be derived from them.
Representative Robertson is recei,
ing q Just measure of praise for hi
untiring efforts in behalf Of his cor
stituents, and 1t is generally concede
that he has opened the way for one @
the greatest opportunities which ha
ever been presented to this section
and there appears to be no doubt tha
it will be taken advantage Of.

PROBABLE
CANDIDATES
Many Hattiesburgans Willing to
Experiment" With the Com
mission Form,

Since it has been generally agreed
that Hattiesburg's new charter under
the commission form of government
is not such a fearful and perplexing
document as was feared by some that
it might be, there appears to be mani
fest on the part of large number of
citizens desire to be "hunched" in
the ticklish spot, and there seems to
be no doubt that there will be a suffi-
cient number of candidates for the
three elective offices provided in the
charter to make the situation interest.
ing.
Up to the present time, however,
none of these gentlemen who are said
to be in receptive attitude" have
made announcement of their inten-
tions in the matter, and it is thought
probable, in the event they do not
come to a decision shortly, the field
will be so full that there may not be
room enough for them all.
