Day. marking the beginning of the
Jewish year 5672, falls this year on
Saturday, the twenty-third Of
September.
1t is observed as holy day from
the evening of Friday, the twenty
second. until sundown of Saturday
the twenty-third. The orthodox
Jew observes also the so-caIled
second day" on the twenty-fourth.
The Biblical basis for the observ-
ance of the first day of Tishri as a
New Years day and the most
solemn day of the Jewish calendar
next to Yom KIppur or the Day of
Atonement, is found in the refer
ence to Zikkaron memorial

reads:

duty of self-examination and self

science of this solemn task the cere-
mony of sounding the Shofar or
ram's horn, forms an important
feature of the service. Among the
orthodox Jews, attainment of this
object is also sought by setting
aside few days before the New
Years Day for the recital, in the
synagogue. of penitential prayers
called Seilhot. This continues

bare statement Of facts: Travis

relatives, having had to escape
from Mexico for fear of his life.

Madero, whom he had displeased
in one of his newspaper reports,
referring to that individual as a
'brigand. -
After this article appeared,
Madero met Travis on the streets,
drew pistol on him and had him
imprisoned. After ten days time
he was released by the efforts of
United States citizens, but soon
found that it would be all his life
was worth to remain in Mexico

in work for the Heraldo Mexicano

Leaving Mexico City by stealth
at night, he made his way to Vera

Italian vessel bound for New Or
leans, as coal passer. He arrived
/ in that city last Wednesday and
easily passed the immigration Off
cials. although two of the men off
the ship he came in on had disap-
peared. causing the captain consid-
cradle trouble to explain.
Travis established the Herald at
Belzoni, Miss, some years back
and is an exceptionally alert and
intelligent man, having also held
positions as reporter and special
feature writer on the Chicago Ex-
aminer. the Memphis Commercial
Appeal and the Times Democrat Of

who had formerly been a teacher IN
this county, was tried on an indict-
ment charging attempted criminal
assault on Eva Smith, the ten-year-
old daughter of Mr.. George Smith,

near Pearlhaven. The court held
that. while the testimony showed
that the conduct of young West
with his young pupil was highly
reprehensible. yet the testimony
of little Eva Smith was not suffi-

to justify conviction under

Estus G, Smith pulled off a smooth
stunt today, shortly after the noon
hour, at the court house in dispos-
ing Of the case of Lawson Davis,
the 20-year-old negro charged with
attempted assault on a daughter of
Marion Fur, a farmer living III
miles notheast of Brookhaven, last
Wednesday morning.
1t was only by the vigilance of
Constable Henry Womack that the
black was saved at that time from
Judge Lynch and brought in to
Brookhaven from which place he
was at once hurried to Hazlehurst
in an auto, and the same night
taken to Jackson.
Last night Sheriff Smith and
Deputies Robt. j.. Scott and j. w.
Mcbride coyertly went up to Jack
son. secured the negro and slipped
him in the county Jail. early this
morning, not even the inmates Of
the prison knowing when he was
incaIcerated At that time only
as many people as could be
counted on one hand knew that
he was there till heappeared in the
court room, this being done to pre-
vent any chance of Judge Lynch
figuring in the trial, his name hay

ed with the case.
THE TRIAL.
At 1925 Judge Miller stepped
up to Hon. r. n. Thompson, who
was in the midst of an address be-
fore jury in a civil case, and in a
whisper told him what he intended
to do. The jury in the case were
lsent to their room and the negro
brought in under the chaperonage

had the clerk to call a new jury
and hurriedIy swore them in, none
| of them either, knowing what the
rush was. District Attorney Hugh
Wall stepped up to- the accused
negro and read the Indictment ia
an undertone, the negro stating he
would plead guilty.
Walking over to the jury. who
had not yet had time to catch on to
what was happening, Wall stated
the case to them, requesting that
they find Davis guilty OF attempted
rape an give him Imprisonment for
life, the limit OF the law in such
cases. They retired and imme-
diately brought In a verdict for SO
Years in the pen. the Judge pro-
nouncing sentence.
Sheriff Smith and his deputies
then walked the prisoner over to
the south end of the depot platform
land in 10 minutes were on the
train bound for jackson.
The time consumed at the trial
i was Z minutes, and from the time
1.-THE trial started until the prisoner
was out of Brookhaven was only 25
minutes, beating the record for any
terminal case ever before tried in
