YAz0O CITY SHAKES
OFF VILLAGE WAYS

In Yazoo City there are two tele-
phone systems serving the public.
Recently the Cumberland Telephone &
Telegraph Company sent new local
manager there. One of the first things
he did, was to enforce the long neg
lected rule of number please" A
perfect storm was raised and for two
weeks the subject has been live is
sue in the Yazoo Sentinel. 1t looks
as though number please" is the only
method possible to assure prompt ser
vice, where the telephone operators
hate to handle more than two hundred
numbers. Yazoo City should not reg
lister such vigorous kick at this new
evidene that she is not in the village
class. She will have to adopt the
rule, and onece used to it, will wonder
why any other method was ever
thought of in an up-to-date city.

State Executlue Committee
WHSelect Delegate-at-Large

Jackson, Miss, May 22.-The meth
cd of selecting a successor of the late
Hon. c. H. Alexander as delegate from
the state-at-large to the convention at
Baltimore is puzzling the Democratic
leaders in this state.
Mr.. Alexander died within a few
minutes after the state convention had
ratified his election in the presidential
preference primary. While the con-
vention elected alternate delegates for
the state-at-large, the persons whom
these alternates should represent
were not designated. The possibility
of one or more of the regular dele
gates being unable to go to Baltimore
was suggested to the convention, but
Ex-Gov. j. X. Vardaman, who was
manipulating the steam roller.
squelched all discussion by declaring
that in event any delegate was unable
to go he should have the privilege Of
selecting the alternate. 1t could not
be anticipated, of course, that a va

Baltimore.
The alterntes named were State
Senator G.. A. Hobbs, of Brookhaven,
Lieut.-Gov. Theo G. Bilbo, ]. w. Cas-
sedy, of Jackson, and Douglas Robin
son, of Lefiore. 1t is quite likely that
the matter of selecting Mr.. Alexan-
der's successor from this list will be
left to the Democratic state executive
committee, which will probably meet
here before the close of the month.
Just prior to the adjournment of the
convention one week today a resolu-
ton was adopted instructing Chairman
John L. Hebron to issue call for a
meeting of the new committee within
thirty days.

ATTEMPTED Seizure
CAUSING TROUBLE
Big Shipment OF Brew To 6rookhaven
For Elks May Result In
Damage Suit.

Jackson, MISS May 22.-An inter-
esting damage suit growing out of an
attempted seizure of liquor is In pros
pect at Brookhaven, the outcome of
which will probably be new interpre-
tation of Mississippi's prohibition
laws.
Just prior to the assembly Of the
annual convention of the Mississippi
Association of Elks last week. Mr.. ].
N. Cooke, one of the radical prohibi-
tionists of the community, swore out
a search warrant with the purpose Of
having confiscated about one thousand
bottles of the stun that made Milwau
kee famous, and which had been or
dered by the hospitable Elks of Brook
haven to be used in quenching the
thirst Of their visitors.
The search warrant alleged that the
seven barrels containing the bottlet
booze were consigned to Abrams

AUTO OWNERS To
Fight new TAX
Organizing Over State To EnIoIn col-
iectIon--Law Considered
Discriminatory.

Automobile owners in all parts Of
the state are joining hands to enjoin
the collection Of the tax imposed on
auto owners by the recent legislature
A number Of the local automobile
owners have become interested and
are contributing to the fund Ior coun-
sci fees. Any other automobile own
ers of the county, who have not con-
tributed, are requested to leave $1.00
at the Century Drug Store and aid in
resisting what is considered an un-
just tax.
The following letter will explain the
matter more fully:
Jackson, Miss, May 20, 1912.
Mr.. G. w. Bufkin,
Hattiesburg, Miss.
Dear Sir:
The automobile owners of Jackson,
in cooperation with those of several
other cities of the state, have secured
counsel and will enjoin the collection
of the tax imposed by the recent ses.
sion of the legislature, which is
thought to be discriminatory against
them.
The law takes effect June 1st, and
it is important that action be taken
at cnce. The automobilists here have
asked me to undertake. to raise the
funds necessary to empoly counsel.
am therefore writing to ask you tc
send me whatever contribution you
feel like making, by earliest mail
The usual contribution has been s1.O0
Give this prompt attention.

no SELL MRS. EppY,s HOME.


Concord, N. H., May 22.-Because of
unpaid taxes, Pleasant View, the Con-
cord home of the late Mary Baker G.
Eddy, founder of the Christian Science
denomination, is scheduled to be sold
under the hammer tomorrow. For
many years the leader of the Chris
tian Science cult lived at Pleasant
View, and it was there that most of
her books were written. 1t is believed
that followers of Mrs. Eddy will bid
in the property AMI make it an inter
national Mecca for those of the denom-
ination.
The property was advertised for sale
to the highest bidder because of the
refusal of Henry M. Baker, one of the
executors of Mrs. Eddy's estate, to pay
the taxes. The levy amounts to SALT,
and this sum was considered by Mr..
Baker to be excessive
Pleasant View is an estate of sew
eral acres situated in Pleasant street,
some distance from the business sec
tion of the city. The house is an old
fashioned and ancient appearing wood
en- structure. When Mrs. Eddy lived
there there were often gatherings of
thousands of her disciples on the
spacious grounds, and Mrs. Eddy ad-
dressed the pilgrims from a little bal
cony on the second floor.

W. A. PERCY IN DANGER.
Memphis Man Stricken Here In Seri-
Gus Condition.

Nashville, Tenn, May 22.-Dr. Heb
er Jones of Memphis, one of the best
known physicians of that city, arriv-
ed in Nashville yesterday to care fer
w. A. Percy, the brother of Senator
Leroy Percy of Mississippi, who was
stricken while appearing before the
State Executive Committee in the
Shelby County contest Wednesday Of
last week.
Mr.. Percy has been i'll now for six
days, and his condition fails to show
any improvement. Yesterday his tenn
perature was slightly over 109, and
DR.. Jones said that his patient was in
a most serious condition Unless he
shows marked improvement with a
fall of temperature shortly there is
little chance for his recovery accord
ing to the statement of the doctor.
The family thought yesterday of re-
moving Mr.. Percy to Forts Infirmary
but found that he was too sick to be
moved. His wife, son, two brothers
and sisto. are here in Nashville.

now has only a faint glimmer Of sight
as the result of cataract. He can
not read, but manages to write BY

over the paper. His medical advisers
say that IL the operation is successful

for the remainder Of Ills life. The
aged veteran Of the Salvation Army b
now in his eighty-fourth year. On the
occasion Of his birthday last month
he wrote:
II know my sight has failed, but
am told that the operation I intend to
undergo next month will restore 1t.
Though there must be some risk Of
total blindness, shall go through 1t
whether 1t succeeds or not. / hope to
be spared to visit the United States
and Canada during the year, as well
as to inaugurate further efforts for the
spread of our work In European coun-
tries and at home.

problems involved In the better hous-
ing of the poorest people and more
discriminating and extensive distribu'
tion of those who would with advan;
tage be transplanted to the land over

Special prayer meetings for the sue
cess of the operation win be held to
day in many English cities by the
