RECEIVES COL. TISONSSWORD
HIS SON PRESENTS IT TO STATE AS
A MEMENTO.
Part of the Blade Was Shot Off at the
Battle of Franklin, and Forced in
Col. Tison's Leg.

J~ackson.-The department OF archives
n history of the state has been pre-
sented with the sword worn by Col. w.
Il. II. Tison, OF the Second Mississippi
Infantry, c. S. A., for preservation.
The gift is made by the son OF Col.
Iison, Mr.. j. IL. Tison, of Baldwin,
Miss, and he states that the piece of
the blade, about two and a half inches
In length, one-third OF the way from the
hilt, vas shot off by a bullet, and bullet
and piece of steel from the sword blade
were embedded in Col. Tison's left leg,
making a horrible wound. Col. Tison
was left on the field of Franklin, where
this occurred, for dead, and was reported
as killed. His wife thought he had been
killed, and it was thirty days before she
heard from him; then he was in the hos
pital slowly recovering from the awful
wound of jagged steel and ragged and
flattened bullet.
Col. Tison succeeded to the command
of the Twenty-second Mississippi when
Col. Mark p. Lowrey was promoted
brigadier general, he having Originally
gone out as u member of the Nine
teenth Mississippi. lie was a gallant
soldier and held in high regard. His
regiment suffered severely at the battle
of Franklin, and was commended for it,
%gallantry.
Director Rowland is delighted to gel
the sword, and it will be placed in 8
case with an appropriate inscription
among the valued mementoes OF gallant
SOL of Mississippi. The sword itselI
was probably captured from some fed
eral officer, as it is a regulation United
States officers sabre, and the letters
"U. S." and "E Pluribus Unum" etcheC
on the blade. The ball that nicked on
part of the blade passed through a por
ton of the letters ~. S."

WINSTON COUNTY KILLING.
Victim Stabbed Three Times in Front OF
Home of Father-in-Law.

Home of Father-in-Law.
Louisville.-A fatal cutting affray oc-
Cured in front of the home Of Mr..
James, nine miles west of Louisville.
Berrell Gifren and his younger brother
are alleged to have stabbed to death
Jack Dempsey.
1t appears that a difficulty arose be-
tween Bell Dempsey and Berrell Citizens
younger brother, in the yard OF James,
who is the father-in-law of the dead man.
The men were pummeling each other
severely when Jack Dempsey ran up,
saying: "Tll take Bells part" Where
upon Berrell Giffen is said to have
stabbed him three times. The wounded
man staggered into the house, where he
died a few hours later.
Berrell Gifren is a nephew OF the con
vict Giffen, who was sent up Tor muir
der from Leflore county several years
ago, and who was recently captured IN
Missouri after escaping from the peni'
Tertiary.

Rankin state convict farm, eight miles

Thirty-three mules, valued at SSoo

ONLY SORE THROAT.
Heavy Tonsilitis and Not Diphtheria
Prevails at Meridian.

Jackson.-Dr. Woods, of the state
board of health, states that specimens
had been sent in from Meridian for tx
animation in connection with the sore
throat epidemic that apparently prevails
in that city ut the Sanitarium and other
hospitals, and that the report OF it being
diphtheria is erroneous.
The doctor says there are certain
forms of the common sore throat that
are contagious and in this case, heavy
tonsilitis seems to prevail, but not a
single case of diphtheria is among them.
DR.. Cameron, the pathologist over at
Meridian, examined all the patients and
was soon convinced that the trouble was
nothing more than sore throat.

WHAT AN UPSETTING of prices the arrival
of the Flanders ~" Motorcycle has ocCasioned.
Why, the other makers seem to be in a panic.
IT'S FUNNY, TOO, when you recall the unkind
things they said about the Flanders "4' when
we first advertised it and stated the price.
OF COURSE THEY SAID a frst-class four
horsepower motorcycle could not be made for
$175, even with battery ignition. And a mag
neto included-utterly impossible.
WISH WE COULD print all the things
they said in their frantic efforts to discredit the
Flanders 90" and Justify their own prices
which at that time were $3.50 and $275 tor
machines of same power and less quality.
only way it could be done was to make the
machine out Of poor materials and throw them
together. They not only admitted, they pro-
tested, they could not duplicate the Flanders
~" at the price-or anywhere near it.
THAT WAS BEFORE we had begun to ship
Flanders "4's' to our dealers and customers.
They felt safe in making such statements-for
though they knew in their hearts that this
concern could not afford to turn out a second
grade article-they had no idea what a sensa-
ton it was going to create.
so THEY LAID TRAPS for themselves-and
now we are driving them right into them.
THEY MUST EAT their own words-they said
they would have to use poor material and
poorer work in the making to meet the price
of Flanders a."
WELL, THEY HAVE ALMOST met the price
and they will have to meet it and go lower
before they can sell their antiquated machines
in competition with this up-to-the-minute
motorcycle.
NOW IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, but
are we to assume that what they said was true
and that they are now making punk machines
to meet Flanders ~" in conpetition-or that
they told fbs about ite
FRANKLY WE DON'T BELIEVE they are
making them any worse-some things are
impossible. And we do know that until
Flanders "4' arrived on the scene, prices OF
motorcycles were high above all reason.
WE SAID IN OUR AID that Flanders "4"-
magnetic Misunderstanding for Sl75, lett a
mighty small profit to us on each machine.
BUT WE ARE SATISFIED with a small profit
on each machine so long as we can build 5O,ooO
per year. And the ~price-$l75, magnetic in
cluded-has created a demand sufficient to
Justify us in building that many.
HERE'S A POINT YOU HADN'T NOTICED
perhaps: Other makers did not drop their
prices until we had actually begun to mako
deliveries. Do you know why3 There were
two reasons.
FIRST: OUR AID CREATED a tremendous de-
mand which we were as yet unable to supply.
The other makers saw thar and determined to
supply some q it at high prices. And they did.
Then they began to think 1t was going to con-
tinue.
SECOND: THEY HOPED that when this ma
chine did appear it would not be up to all our
claims-and would give them a new lease OF
life.

Has Them All on the Run

NOT ONLY THAT: But in addition to hoping.
they set about picking it to pieces before they
had actually seen it themselves.
IT IS A FACT that, before we had shipped ono
motorcycle we heard stories told by competitors
of how this part was weak and that part wrong,
etc. The wish was father to the thought-thas
was all.
OH! WHAT A BUMP they got when we cyan
to send them over the country. The eject was
electrical.
PRICES BEGAN TO TUMBLE: First they
chopped off $25.00-made theirs $3.50 and S225
instead of $275. But it didn't do. Dealers
wired them-"You must meet Flanders prices.
No use to damn the machine-it has Flanders
name ON it and the public knows"
OFF CAME ANOTHER S25-and another.
Here and there they put on a magnetic and tried
to hold the old price. No go-Flanders had
said, "No motorcycle is complete without a
magnetic"
WELL, THEY HAVEN'T YET reached our
price. Can't and stay in business, because
most of them are not nanufacturers-only
assemblers. They buy motors and other parts
and pay one or two extra profits on them.
1T COSTS THEM MORE to build the same
machine than we can sell it for. Get that?
WE HAVE LIE A1lLll1ES- DE,EoO,OOO
concern. We make every part. We buy right
and pay cash and it costs us less to sell-be-
cause folks know a dollars worth when they
see it. and Flanders go is the biggest value
ever offered. 1t sells itself.
EVERY DEALER KNOWS. Didn't they all
"hot foot it" to Detroit to get the agency? OF
course we couldn't give it to them alive
picked the best and of course those who didn't
get it are sore. Naturally. And they are get
ting sorer every day.
