HAS PAID $4,000 FINES.
Minnie Winston Has Sold Whiskey fol
Twelve Years.

Twelve Years.
Jackson.-A fine of 800 and costs
was imposed on Minnie Winston, q no.
torious woman who has been before the
courts for selling whiskey on an aver.
age of five times a year for the past
twelve years. The woman has been con-
victcd every time she has appeared, and
has perhaps paid more money in fines
to the state Of Mississippi than any
other individual or corporation In the
state. The woman is said to have paid
out a small fortune Tor the services Of
attorneys.
According to the figures gathered by
the police, the woman has been arrest
ed on the average of five times a year.
She has never escaped a fine OF 500 and
$3.50. Allowing that the woman paid
a 500 fine for each o%ffense, $500 a year
for twelve years aggregates the total
of Sc, 900. The woman admits that these
figures are correct.

Offer Prizes for Farming.

Meridian.-There is a well defined
move on the part of business interests in
this section 10 offer prizes for the most
progressive farming next year, that is,
the Turner that raises the greatest mar
ketable variety. This action, it is said,
il necessary for the future prosperity of
this district, as future success in farm
ing will greatly depend upon the diver
siled farmer. The reason for this is the
advent Of the boil weevil, which will
greatly curtail the cotton crop in the

SECTY HODGES NEARLY

INDIGNANT WOMAN THREAT
EMS TO GIVE UP MACHINE
BEFORE PAYING TAX.

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-For a few
minutes Tuesday it began to appear
as though Secretary of State Earle
W. Hodges was to be the proud pos
SCISSOR of an automobile. A woman of
Little Rock who has paid her $40 an
nual license to the city upon an au-
tomobile, called the secretary of state
over the telephone and requested in
formation regarding the state auto
law. She was informed IS would have
to be paid by her. The woman be-
came very indignant and said she
would abandon the machine before
she would pay a total of SIS taxes.
She was informed by the courteous
state official that if she did not care
to pay the license, and would rather
give up the machine than part with
the money, he would gladly mail her
a check for the SIS and take the au-
tomobile, also pay the state and city
taxes. Here the woman backed down,
as her car is one of the largest in the
city, and agreed to call and pay the
state tax.
