Women know the worst of poverty
1t is the wife who Las the spending
OF the insufficient income, who learns
all the bitter ways of scrimbing and
parlng and saving. The husband
must present decent appearance,
for. policys sake, when he goes to
business; certain things are necessi-
ties for the children; and so the
heaviest Of all he deprivations fall
upon the woman who stays at home
and strives to make one dollar do the
work OF five. This is the way of the
ordinary woman; and what sacrifices
she makes, what tastes she crucities,
what longings for pretty things and
Niainty things she smothers, not even.
her own family guess. They think it
lis an eccentricity that makes her
choose the neck of a chicken and the
hard end of the loaf and to stay
hons from any little outing. AL, if
they only knew!

HOW WE TALK ABOUT THE CANDIDATES.

A month or so back this paper sta
ted to its readers thar we would
probably soon present in article sum-
ming up the various possible candi-
dates for the several offices of Greene
County, but after mature reflection,
we decided that perhaps The better
way to handle it would be to along at
intervals mention the ambition of
some of the boys in localizing, as their
varied preferences began to develop
more clearly. This we have been do
ing and have endeavored to so han
die it as to not impolifely invade the
privacy Of any man S life, only TAX
ing the liberty to mention a man as
possible candidate when he himself
and bis friends had been busy in the
same way. We respect the privacy
OF every man aud hope If we shall
unbeknOwings to ourselves offend
anybody in this respect they will
speak right out and let us have an
opportunity to correct any wrong
impression thrown out. When a
man begins to edge into public life, as
a medium of publicity we have d per-
feet right to so chronicle him, hut
otherwise he has rights to be respect
ed which we recognize This last
sentence alludes to political activities,
not local movements.

Mrs. MARY ]. MILLS.

The subject of this sketch, Mrs.
Mary j. Mills, (nee Beard was born
ed in Greene County, four miles
above Leakesvile on East Side of
River January 2lst. 1859, and died
at Mullett, George County, Miss.
January 2Sth, 1911, from Cerebro
Spinal Meningitis, after a brief illness
of only about Is hours, making Ler
existence on this earth, iifty-two
years and seven days.
She was married unto Mr.. J.Alfred
Mills on November 10Th, 1879, and
unto them was given seven children:
five girls and two boys to adorr and
brighten their home. One girl [ElIa)
having gone on to the great beyond
before her mother, died at the age of
one and one half years. Mrs Mills
was the third eldest child, and sec
Ond eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
james Beard ST.. She leaves TO
mourn her departure, both father
and mother; three brothers and four
sisters, heart broken and grief
stricken husband, two sons and four
daughters, besides several uncles and
aun1s, and d host of other relatives
and friends. AS daughter, she was
one most obedlent and dutiful; and as
q wife and mother she was second to
none. There was not hand left un
turned that she could possibly do, for
the comforI and happiness of her
husband and children, and to soothe
and lull them if sick.
She confessed faith in her Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ and attached
herself to Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church
several years ago, and has been
consistent faithful member every
since, and before the relentless hand
of the monster death laid its cold and
icy hand upon her, and her soul tock
its fight to the great beyond, she
told them by her that she would not
be with them much longer, that she
was going to leave them, that there
was nothing in her way, that she
was prepared and ready to go meet
the Angels in Heaven.
TO those bereft, | would say that
this should be wonderfully consoling
though hard you hated to give her up
on this earth. The thought should
cheer you and brighten your path
way with sunshine, that you have a
chance to meet her in Wonder great
celestial cline where grief and sorrow
is known not, but peace and happi-
ness evermore. And then | would
say 10 you remember this poem.
Beeide the dead we knelt for prayer,
And felta presence AS we prayed
Lo, it was Jesus standing there,
He smiled, Be not afraid"
Lord, Thou has conquered death we know;
Restore again to life we said,
This one who who died an hou" ago,
He smiled, she is not dead
Asleep. then. rs thy self didst say,
Yet Thov canst lift the lids That keep.
Her prisoned eyes from ours away.
He smiled she doth not sleep,
Yet our beloved seen so far,
The while we yearn to feel her near.
Albeit with Thee we trust they are.
He smiled, And am here,
Dear Lord, bow shall we know that She,
Still walk unseen VITA us and Thee,
Norsleep nor wander far away
He smiled. Abide in me-.

chief clerk of the assembly, whose
duties would be to aid the spinsters
in evading the tax.

NO IMMUNITY BATH
FOR BIG PACKERS
Indictments Stand ano They
Must Go to Trial.
JUDGE CARPENTER so RULES
Declares Decision Given by Judge
Humphrey Does Not Apply to
Present Charees-Govern-
ment to Rush Cases.

Chicago that the immu
nifty granted by Judge Humphrey
of the federal circuit court In 1906 did
not apply to the present charges,
which, he declared, were based on
evidence not included in the Humph-
rey decision, Judge Carpenter In the
United States district court overruled
the demurrer filed by the indicted Chi
cago packers and they lost their fight
against going on trial on the indict-
ments obtained by the government
several months ago.
Judge Carpenters decision went
into the controversy relating to i'm
munity with great detail
In brief, the packers position was
that any conspiracy that might have
existed was the plotting prior to
Judge Humphreys immunity decision.
and that the immunity from prosecu-
tion granted them extended over all
future time. so long as the acts COW
cred by the 1906 decision remained
the same.
In deciding this, Judge Carpenter
ruled that the immunity granted
them was only for acts which had oc-
Cured prior to the date of the tndict-
ment and could not pertain to any I'M
lawful act which was performed after
that time. The evidence given by the
packers before the grand jury, he
said, could not relate to that which
had not occurred, and hence could
have no future application.
AS to the contention of the defense
that the conspiracy ended with the
first plotting, he ruled that so long as
the acts complained of continued. the
conspiracy remained in effect, and
unlawful acts growing out Of the con-
spiracy and occurring after the IN
dicted men had testified before the
grand jury were new and separate Of
lenses and subject to the operation
Of law.
In addition, the offenses admitted
before the grand jury by the packers
prior to their immunity and from the
criminal responsibility for which they
were freed by the Humphrey decision,
were defined by the court as none the
less criminal in themselves. He said
they could be used In prosecutions
which we're predicated on a continue,
ton of the offenses.
Following are the defendants: Louis
F. Swift, E. f. Swift, Charles F. Swift.
Francis A. Fowler, Edward Tilden, J.
Ogden Armour, Arthur Meeker,
Thomas J. Corners, Edward Morris
and Louis II. Heyman.
United States District Attorney
Sims said he would in a day or two
demand that the packers be brought
into court to plead to indictments
and have dates set for trial Sims
was jubilant over the ruling of Judge
Carpenter.

INDEPENDENTS OPPOSE TAX
Ad Valorem Measure Would Hamper
Development, Holds Wisconsin
Telephone Association.

Madison. The Wisconsin Tcle-
phone association, which has a mem
bcrship of some 200 of the independ-
ent telephone companies in the state,
opposes the Tcasdalc ad valorem tax
bill now pending in the legislature,
which would reduce the taxes of the
Wisconsin Telephone company, the
Bell company, about $4,000 year.
The measure however, would raise
the taxes of the Independent com
pancs.
The association agrees that tho
theory of ad valorem taxation is just
and equitable, but believes that the
telephone industry is passing through
a pioneer stage in Wisconsin. and that
the difficulties and expense attending
the making of an inventory of the
property of the companies in the
state, numbering over 600, would i'm
pose too great tax and expense up
on the industry at this time.
At present all companies are taxed
upon gross revenue, The Wisconsin
company pays at the rate of per
cent on gross revenue and the indie
pendent at the rate Of y per cent.
Under the present ad valorem plan
all companies would be brought to
the same basis.
