YOUNG SW|NTON PER.
MENTER ACQUITTED
Jury Frees Man Accused of a
Most Diab0liCal Crime Father
and Mother of Defendant
Weep for Joy.

I'VE, the jury, find the defend
ant not guilty" was the verdict
rendered in the Swinton Per-
menter case at Winona last Sat
urday.
Permenter sat if stunned. His
father and mother and his sisters
arose and seized each Jurors S
hands and shook them heartily,
the father saying: Thank God,
my poor boy is free. He never
killed the girl"
With tears streaming down her
cheeks, the aged mother kissed
her son and for several minutes
she embraced him.
A few minutes after the YER
dict the jury assembled again in
it's room, and the young man who
had been just vindicated ad-
dressed the jury in a feeling
manner, thanking them cordially
for their kindness in acquitting
him.
Nobody in the world killed
my daughter but Permenter, !"
cried the old gentleman, and
if they were to bring in another
man charged with this crime I'd
say nobody but Swinton Per-
menter murdered her."
All day long Permenter was
accompanied by a special deputy.
This ends one of the greatest
trials ever fought out in the Mis-
sissippi courts, trial which has
nearly bankrupted Winston coun-
ty and caused a feud in which
two men have already been kill
ed, and which may be the cause
of the loss of more lives.

probably free of ticks, but it
would be impossible at this time
to pick out the infected herds
from the free ones, consequently
in the interest of Rankin Co.
and for the benefit xof all the
people the regular disinfecting
should go on even though, a few
do a little extra work in bringing
the cattle to the vats.
Very respectfully.
DR.. j. A. Herman.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1912-08-29

for the efforts made by the citi-
zens of this county to make this
great work a success. There are
many vats in this territory where
ticks are scarce article at the
present time. Many citizens
think because they do not see
the tickSon the cattle, that they
are eliminated from our county.
The fact is that if a cattle raiser
commences dipping his cattle on
May 1st, the ticks, or some of
enough for seed-will re-
main in the pasture for 6 months
or until November 1st.
We would regard the judg-
ment of a man as being very un-
sound who would erect a fine
residence, paint it artistically,
lay out fine walks and grounds
around it, but who would fail to
put any roof on his house. We
know if his residence was not
protected from the elements by
a roof it would soon be a total
wreck.
In regard to eliminating the
ticks from Rankin county, we
are in the same position as the
man just mentioned, who erect
ed the house but failed to put on
the roof
We have dipped our cattle four
months and have only two
months more to dip when we
will have completed a successful
work. We have erected the
house. now let us put the roof on
it, and complete the contract.
The man who has no ticks on
his cattle at the inspection, after
this seasons dipping. will be
through with all his trouble. The
man whose cattle show ticks at
that time, will have to dip again
next year. I wish to call atten-
ton to letter from DR.. J. A.
Herman, of Nashville, Tenn, in
spector in charge of tick eradi-
cation in Tennessee, Mississippi,
and Alabama.
Very respectfully,
DR.. w. A. CLEMENS.
