". J. MASSEE
PAYS $1,000 TO
TENNESSEEAN
Criminal and Civil Prosecution
Dropped by R. W, Williams.
Former Stock Farm Partner.

MACON, July 5.-W. J. Massee, the
Macon capitalist, has settled the
prosecution of civil and criminal
cases, which have kept him out of
Tennessee for several years, by pay
ing R. w. Williams, of Columbia,
Tenn, $1,000.
The indictment, charging Maasee
with criminal extortion and libel, was
dismissed at Nashville to-day upon
motion of the Attorney General of
Davidson County, and Williams at
the same time dismissed his $4,000
suit for damages, in consideration of
the payment of the $1,000.
A jury last year awarded Williams
a verdict for $4,000, but the United
State Court of Appeals last week set
it aside and gave Massee a new
trial, on the ground that the trial
judge did not have the right to re-
duce the verdict to $500 as was
done
Massee and williams were former
ly partners in stock farm. While
at a club in Nashville several years
ago Massee, it was alleged, made a
remark rejecting on Williams char
acter. Williams then brought suit
and also procured a grand jury in
dictment
Requests for extradition Of Massee
were served on both Governors Smith
and Brown, and were declined by
them Last year MRssee was arrest
ed in South Carolina, but Governor
Hooper, of Tennessee, withdrew the
request for extradition just when
Governor Blease said he would hon.

1t is most remarkable that dur.
ing the month Of November nc
deaths were reported to the Mis-
sissippi State Board of Health from
measles or scarlet fever. As a
rule both diseases flourish immedi.
ately after the opening of the
school year. While during the
same period twenty-four deaths
were produced by diphtheria,
twenty one being white children.
This disease caused only 1.5 per
cent of all the deaths. Yet among
the whites it produced 3.3 per cent
of the deaths, while only O.3 per
cent Of the negro deaths were from
this cause, making the white death
rate from this cause eleven times
that of the negro. This is unfor-
tunate as diphtheria is a disease
that responds readily to treatment.
If sufficient quantities of antitoxin
is administered early in the dis.
ease very few deaths result from
this cause
The State Board of Health has
stations throughout
the State where diphtheria anti.
toxin can be purchased at about
one fourth the price usually
charged.
