PEACE AGREEMENT
THE GREATEST ACT,
SAYS REV. DR.. NELMS
Rector Makes His First
, Mention of Politics" in
{ Pulpit.

A sermon today on the peace treaties
recently contaminated by the United
States with Great Britain and France
brought the Rev. DR.. ]. Henning helms,
rector of the Episcopal Church of the
Ascension, to mention politics from the
,pulpit for the first time in my life"
He declared the making Of the treaties
to be the greatest strictly human act In
history.
The Rev. DR.. Nelms, who hasSjust re-
turned after a summer vacation.
preached to a large congregation on the
text, my Peace I give unto you"
"This was Christ's word to the Apos-
ties and to you," DR.. helms said. 1T
Is a peace suited to the needs of the
restless, the sorrowful, the needy and
the distressed. 1t may be obtained by
obedience Of Christ's command, Love
one another
The Magma Charta gave a guaranty
of peace, but that was a peace demand
ed by the barons of King John by rea-
son Of their ancient privileges. The De-
claration Of Independence was guar
anty of peace, but by the demands OF
subjects against the tyranny on the
part of their king, 1t being based upon
the principals OF individual right. These
have contributed greatly to the natural
order of peace. But the new peace
treaties are based on an entirely diff
lferent fundamental proposition. Each
mower agrees to consider the rights ana
jnriviieges of the other party; instead Of
demanding, they offer to give"

PURE FOOD LAW
GIVEN HARD BLOW
Federal Supreme Court Declares That
Drugs May Be Labeled AS Cures
And Be Effective.

Washington, May 30.-Drugs may
be labeled as cures for man and yet
be absolutely ineffective for that pur-
pose without violating the national
pure food and drugs act, according to
a decision yesterday by a majority of
the Supreme Court of the United
States in the case of DR.. o. A. John
son. Johnson was indicted in the Fed
eral courts of Missouri, in 1909, on a
charge of having violated the pure
food and drugs act of 1906. 1t was
alleged that Johnson, doing business
under the name of a company, shipped
from one state to another certain ar
ticles designated as "Cancerine tab
iets,' etc, the labels upon which were
false and misleading in that they i'm
piled that the articles would cure and
were effective in bringing about the
cure of cancer. 1t was alleged in the
indictment that this statement was
untrue and the articles were worth.
less and ineffective for such purposes
The indictment was quashed on the
ground that the pure food and drugs
act was restricted to prevention OF
misstatements about the ingredients
of drugs, and did not include the pre-
vention of misstatements about the
curative properties of medicines. The
government appealed to the Supreme
Court. 1t was the first case to come
to the court under the drug section
of the act.

From Mr.. R. w. Thompson, field
agent Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, for Forrest coun-
ty, an interesting item is secured of
what may be done in an agricultural
way by showing what one man did.
Such cases can be multiplied many
times in this section, but this one is
especially interesting.
Mr.. Lyle. who lives across the river
from Hattiesburg, on March 1, 1910,
planted one half of an acre in Irish
potatoes, putting his rows seven feet
apart. On April 10 he put CONNER
cial fertilizer between the rows, at
the rate of 500 pounds to an acre and
planted cotton between the rows, af-
terwards cultivating both cotton and
potatoes at the same working. When
the potatoes were ready to dig, he
sold them in the Hattiesburg market
getting from his half acre planted in
the rows seven feet apart, thirty
bushels. After the potatoes were off
he planted peanuts where the pota

Tapped in the seven foot rows. In the
fall he picked his cotton and got 914
pounds of cotton in seed, and put in
his barn two full wagon loads of pea
nut hay to which the peanuts were al
lowed to remain attached.
Thus from one half of an acre he
gathered at the rate per acre, of 1928
pounds seed cotton, 60 bushels Irish
potatoes, and four wagon loads of pea
nut vines. There are in this family
eight persons and the result of his
farming operations for 1910 was that
the support of the eight people was
provided for out of 100000 obtained
from his crop on Is acres, and a sur
plus of $4,000 created.

HOW TO PREVENT
Much SICKNESS
Needless Conditions Existing In State
In Reference To Sanitation
Some Suggestions.

In a recent interview, R. w. Whit
field, assistant director of public
health and sanitation, said:
in my rounds over my district l
find the following needless condition
in most of the smaller towns: Waste
paper, trash, tin cans, boxes, weeds,
etc, about the streets and stores; un-
unsanitary closets to which chickens,
flies, hogs, etc, gain access
finally gaining access to the din
ing tables; absence of cuspidors in
the places of business; and other
things that help to make for disease.
Careless splitting is responsible for the
continuation of consumption, which is
destroying in the United States alone
100000 lives annually. Unsanitary
closets and lack of closets are respon-
sible for the keeping up and spreading
of the hookworm disease, the vampire
of the South, as we'll as aiding in the
spread of typhoid fever, dysentery, and
other troubles.
81 would make the following sugges-
tions: That every town be supplied
with sanitary closets-the schools in
cluded; that every business house be
supplied with three or four cuspidors !;
that an old negro be hired by sub
scription and town appropriation to be
kept continually busy in the business
section keeping the closets clean, rak'
ing up and burning the trash; clean
ing the spittoons In every place oi
business; cutting weeds, filling ur
holes in the streets, seeing after the
closets at the school house, and do
ing whatever will help the town tc
keen clean and free from disease. He
could be kept under the direction Of
the mayor or any other official who
NAV, be appointed for that purpose"

Jackson, Miss, May 30.-A telegram
received from Washington at his cam
paign headquarters this morning
states that Seantor Leroy Percy is
now en- route home to resume his cam
paign for reelection, and will arrive
Wednesday, making an address at
Hattiesburg Wednesday night.
Senator Percy evidently regards
South Mississippi as the battle-ground
of the campaign, as he has been de-
voting especial attention to that sec
tion during the past two months, and
will spend the remainder of the week
in the southern counties, all of which
have enjoyed a remarkable growth in
population, and consequently in voting
strength, during the past few years.
Nothing definite has as yet been
given out concerning the date for the
meeting of the Democratic state execu
tive committee to arrange for the pri
maries, but Secretary ]. B. Stirling
stated today that the committees will

Senator Percy En- Route;
To Speak Here Wednesday

probably meet about the middle OF
June. The matter will be definitely
decided when Chairman c. L. Lomax
visits the capital tomorrow.
Members of the committee who have
been interviewed on the subject, ex-
press the opinion that the first pri-
mary ought to be held during the flrst
week in August, and one of the strong
reasons offered is that thousands OF
Mississippians usually take advantage
Of the cheap excurion rates offered by
the railroads about the middle of Au-
gust and go away on summer trips.
AS a matter Of convenience to this
class of voters, it is desirable that the
first primary be held prior to the sum-
mer excursions.
If the candidates desire to be heard
on the subject of dates, either person
ally or through their representatives,
an opportunity will be given them to
make statements. 1t is not probable
however, that either of the senatorial
candidates will be in attendance.

ANTITRUST LAW WAS VIOLATED
Case Goes Back To Lower Court With
Directions To Hear other Parties In
Interest in Reference to Complying
With Sherman Antitrust Law.

Washington, May 30.-The Ameri-
can Tobacco company and it's accesso-
ries and subordinate corporations and
companies including the English cor
supreme court of the United States to
be co-operators in a combination IL
legal under the Sherman antitrust
law.
The court sent the case back to the
iower court with directions to hear
further the parties SO as to ascertain
whether new condition cannot be re-
created in harmony with the law. JUS
tice Harlan concurred in part with
the courts opinion and dissented in
part.
The court decided as follows:
That the combination in and of It.
| SELF, as well as each and all of the
elements composing it, whether cor
porate or individual, whether consid-
cred collectively or separately, be de-
creed in restraint of trade, and an
attempt to monopolize, and a monop-
ilization within the first and second
sections of the antitrust act.
Second, that the court below, In
order to give effective force to our
decree in this regard, be directed to
hear the parties, by evidence or other
wise as it may be deemed proper, for
the purpose of ascertaining and de-
termining upon some plan or method
of dissolving the combination and Of
recreating, out of the elements now
composing it, a new condition which
shall be honestly in harmony with and
not repugnant to the law.
Third, that for the accomplish
ment of these purposes, taking in view
the difficulty of the situation, period
of six months is allowed from the re-
ceipt Of our mandate with leave, how
ever, in the event in the judgment Of
the court below, the necessities Of the
situation require to extend such period
to a further time not to exceed so
days.
Fourth, that in the event, before
the expiration of the period thus fixed,
8 condition of disintegration in har-
mony with the law Is not brought
about, either as the consequence Of the
action of the court in determining an
issue On the subject of in accepting a
plan agreed upon, it shall be the duty
of the court, either by way Of an in
junction restraining the movement OF
the products of the combination in the
channels of interstate or foreign COM
merce, or by the appointment OF a
receiver, to give effect to the require
lments of the statute"
Pending the bringing about of the
result directed by the court each and
all of the defendants, individuals as
we'll as corporations, are to be re-
strained from doing any act which
might further extend or enlarge the
power of the combination by any
means or device whatsoever.
