and big heartedness OF the man back

GREER HAS DISAPPEARED.
Governor Neol Will Put Detectives on
His Trail.

Jackson.-Gov. Noel has employed de-
~tectives to take the trail of j. F. Greer,
the deposed sheriff and tax collector Of
Lincoln county, who disappeared from
Brookhaven after the discovery of a
shortage in his accounts amounting to
$5,420.37.
Greer left Brookhaven on a newly
purchased automobile, accompanied ~
his son, Edward Greer. The latter re-
turned home a few hours later, but his
father has since been missing, members
of the family either pretend Ignorance
or decline to make any statements con-
corning his whereabouts, and it is prac-
tically certain that he has left the state.
The prevailing opinion is that he caught
a southbound train at Hazlehurst and
has departed for one of the South Ameri-
can countries.

WALTHALL COUNTY WINS.
Supreme Court Orders Returns
Counted 40 Cast.

Jacksonville county OF Walthall,
under a decision of the supreme court.
is regarded as practically created, or
it will be as o o as tho mandate OF
the court Is complied with. The first
case was hat entitled s.. 5 Hudson,
encouragement exrel., VS. Warren
Piggott ct al, commissioners, which
was brought up from Marion county
in order to determine whether or not
the special election ordered and held
for the creation Of the new county
had been complied with by the COM
m~issioners appointed. While the Pike
county end of the controversy at the
polls was decided in favor of the new
county by a handsome majority. as to
which there was no dispute, 1t was al
the Marion county end of the contest
that the trouble arose. While the
face of the returns showed a slight
lead in favor of the new county, the
commissioners, it was held, had de-
clined to include the figures from n
box, which it was claimed had beHp
carried irregularly. 1t was then that
the advocates of the new county be-
gan to take steps, via the man
damus route, to compel the commits
sioners to count the figures from the
ousted box, on the general ground
that the commissioners had no right
nor power to go behind the returns
as submitted by the managers OF the
election.
In announcing the opinion. the SUI
preme court held in effect that the
commissioners must proceed to count
the eturns as sent to them by the
managers of the election. This means
that the vote as submitted will be
found to show a lead in favor OF Wal
thall county, and that it will be only
a matter of weeks until such result
is to be obtained.

Prof. Hutchinson of the A. and M. Col
lege on the boil weevil and how to

prove a blessing to farmers, teaching
them that in order to secure c
each farm must be made self-support.
ing for man and beast, was the sub
of his preachment.
He warned against all foolish plans
such as leaving OF raising cotton for
a year or two. His remedies were,
cotton as a surplus crop and as a
money crop, and all farms self-sup-
porting.
He stressed the fact that the weevil
eats cotton only, and accomplishes his
purpose well.
He advised that all stalks be de-
stroyed after the crop is gathered,
either by burning or blowing under,
and all infested squares be destroyed
early in the spring. The speech was
interesting and practical and will pro-
duce serious and sane thought.
A good audience greeted Professor
Hutchinson and those who came re.
NAMED to hear him through.
