Obituary.

Flovd Leonard Ledbetter was
bora June 2, 1896 in the country
near Tupelo. He was converted
and joined the Baptist church
six years ago, since which time
he has lived a consistent Chris
tan life, always striving to do
the right under all circumstances,
ever trying to lead his young
companions to do all that was
generous and noble. He was
noted for his obedience to all the
commands of his father and
mother. ever striving to lead and
guide his sisters and little broth
er in the paths of righteousness.
We cannot speak too highly or
all he did while in this world.
His life was short, just sixteen
years he was permitted to live his
nooe young life. None knew
him butyto love him, therefore
we mourn not as though he was
lost. but "a one gone before to a
better land.
The people saw him as he fell
and know he lost his life by a
fearful accident on the fair
grounds in Tupelo, which could
not be helped.
All was done that could be
done by loving friends to restore
him to life, but he passed away
unconscious of it all October 8,
1912.

SMITHS Of ENGLAND
make GOOD SHOWING
With Membership of 1888 Black
smiths Have Good Sum in
Their Treasury.

LONDON, May 23.-Established as
long ago as 1857, the Associated
Blacksmiths' and Ironworkers' socie-
ty holds a good record, and in the
fffty-fourth financial report just is
sued, there is further evidence that
the society is In prosperous condi-
ton.
The income from all sources shows
an increase over the previous year
of $1,000, whilst the net income added
to the balance of $93.S1O brought
over from the previous year gives a
total of $139,560. Membership at
present is 1888, an increase of. 800
during the past year.
The executive committee is: .unai-
mously of the opinion that the time
is now ripe and opportune for for
ward movement in regard to amalga-
matin, believing that to effectively
protect blacksmiths interest there
must be one society for the trade.
The report adds: I'VE trust that be-
fore the year 1912 has ebbed, another
link in the chain of combination will
have been forged, and that the So
ciety will march forward to it's des-

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Warren Of Wyoming is championing
a bill for an appropriation Of $780,

schools and colleges, or under the d.

The executive council Of the A. F.

proving of the Warren bill, as fol-
lows: I'VE protest against the enact
ment Of the Warren bill, or any other
movement toward militarizing our
school system; that such a purpose or
tendency contains serious and danger
Gus possibilities to divert the activi-
ties and ideals of American boyhood
to the destructive and brutal art of
war, rather than to the activities and
ideals Of the arts of peace; that the
proposition contained in the Warren
bill is un-American and not calcu-
lated to develop the best conception

INDIANA LABOR Wins
AGAINST STATE GANG
Court Holds Prison Board Men,
bers Are Liable to Suit As
Individuals,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May %
The State Federation of Indiana has
gone to the courts in an attempt to
break the prison labor contract in
effect at the Indiana reformatory at
Jacksonville.
A motion to dismiss the suit was
filed by the defendants, who COM
pose the board of trustees of the re-
formatory, as individuals, and the
Indiana Manufacturing company,
which furnishes employment for the
prisoners and sells their products.
The defendants contended that the
suit against them individually is in
Directly against the state because they
are state officials and state agents;
that it was brought in county in
which none Of them reside, and that
they were acting within their author
ity when contracts We're made.
As to the first contention the
judge held hat the agents of the state
can do only what they are allowed
to do by law and when they exceed
their authority, actions may be filed
against them as individuals, although
the state cannot be sued without it's
consent.
To determine whether the defend
ants have exceeded their authority
they may be sued as individuals, the
court held, and to test the question
the defendants should file a demurrer.
The question of the jurisdiction over
the defendants can be raised by a
plea In abatement.
