Bailey Adams.

Mr.. L. D. Crosby. of Brookha-
en-, upon whose place Bailey Adams
lives near Bogue Chitto. desires
that the public know that the
threatening note pinned on Mr..
Adams door the middle Of Deem
ber had no connection whatever
with and WAS not the outcropping of
any whitecap organization, which
body was put out of existence in
this and adjoining counties few
years back.
Mr.. Crosby has traced the matter
almost to a head. and states that the
note which was pinned on Adams
door warning him to leave within
ten days, and threatening him for
failure to comply, with even great
er punishment than that inflicted
on Pink Adams. an uncle, who was
shot from ambush in Franklin
county several years ago for too
active participation in the prosecu-
tion of the Iawless band, was the
work of two or three parties only.
These persons hoped to benefit by
the removal of Adams if he could
be frightened off. but like his stall
wart uncle, he has not shown the
white feather and will not be bull
dozed. Bailey is 'stilI doing busi-
ness at the same old stand"

that lack of the Distinguishing

of condign punishment for every
crime in the catalogue, not being
t'seen" at past critical junctures in
our municipal history when law
should have been dealt ont in big
doses. We believe now they were
there and that they have borne uu-
deserved censure because, alas!
they didn't have on the proper

S
DR.. w. H. Rowan, travelling in
spector for the State Board of

official business yesterday and made
numerous affidayits after inspecting
different business places over the
city, charging the defendants with
violating the rules Of the State
Board Of Health with reference to
maintaining unsanitary establish
ments.
The Mayors Office was busy
place most of the afternoon, His
Honor listening to many tales of
woe explaining the whyness of the
predicaments in which the Health
inspector caught those against
whom the affidavIts had been made.
DR.. Rowan was here some four
months ago and left with the ad-
monltion to many to clean up-that
be was coming back again and if
certain premises were not up to the
standard affidavits would follow.
He has fulfilled his promise, but
left word that he is going to be
back again.
Fruit stands, restaurants and
stores were all in the list of affi-
davits, as given below:

diately with the specifications of

The case is set, for trial in the
Mayors court Monday, at 10 a. m.
