THE CASE OF COL. MONTGOMERY.

The danger of precedents is
shown in the conviction Of Col. W.
A. Montgomery for misfeasance in
Office. No moral terpitude is In
VOWED in the case. The courtIy
Colonel did just what his predeces-
sors had done-Iet somebody else
do the work and somebody else
stole the States money.
Out in the world today men
equipped for service is the demand.
just as on the Rankin Farm Law
renee Yerger found position wait
ing for him as bookkeeper and
storekeeper-a position that no
other on the farm had the ability
to fill, SO the demand is everywhere
for men equipped for the Offices of
State and for responsible position.
Col. Montgomery is a gentleman
of the old school. He is not the
discriminating, keen-visaged, sys-
tematic business man of today. He
was still laboring under the Illusion
that everybody Is as honest as he is
and he followed custom established
in the office he found himself. He,
really, was victim.

PREFERS DEATH TO ARREST.
Hattiesburg BOOkkeeper Shoots Him
self as Officers Enter Room.

Hattiesburg. Miss. July 29.-
Rather than submit to arrest,
Richard 7. Nichols, aged fifty, shot
and fatally wounded himself at
noon today. 1t developed that he
had been drinking heavily recently
and his family had not been with
him since Saturday night. He
'phoned his wife and George
Komp, for whom he had been book
keeping for a number of years, this
morning, that he would commit
suicide today. Thinking to prevent
this they had the chief of police
send two men to his home with a
warrant for his arrest. After be-
ing refused admission to his room,
the officers forced an entrance by
breaking down a door, at which
Nichols shot himself in the right
temple. Lying near the bed on a
table was large dirk. Nichols
died at A O'Clock this afternoon.

who was in Jackson today, states
he does not find pellagra any more
prevalent in Mississippi than in
other Southern States, although il
seems to be increasing. He denies
that the government agents have
ever said bad corn or musty meal
caused the disease, but have said
that it should not be overlooked as
a possible cause. as bad corn and
meal are not good for any person.
He declared no one knows what
causes pellagra and that is the rea-
son the government is taking a
hand IN the investigations. He
finds that as d rule persons who

Burglars Loot Monticello r. R. Safe

Expert safe blowers entered the
depot of the New Orleans and
Great Northern R. R at Monticello
Friday night, dynamited the office
safe and secured SIS in cash.
The burglars used sacks Of corn
taken from the freight warehouse
to deaden the sound. placing these
around the safe before firing the
dynamite.
The cash box was found some
distance from the depot the next
morning. and a horse from Mon
ticello livery stable was missing.
This is the second time within
the past years that the depot safe
has been burglarized.
There is no clue to the identity

No Cotton Worms for Miss. This Year,

Many people are asking if the
cotton-leaf worms alabama argyll
lacea) will appear again this year
in such destructive numbers as in
1911 and 1912. The prospects now
are that the cotton worms will not
appear in Mississippi this year in
large numbers. In fact it is quite
likely that if they reach US at all II
will be too late to do any serious
damage.
No cotton worms have been re.
ceived from Mississippi this year,
whereas in both 1911 and 1912
many were received during the
month of July from various sec.
tions of the state.
The only report Of cotton worms
in this country this year is from
Victoria, Texas. They are said to
have been found there in small
numbers.
1t is to be hoped that every per-
son raising cotton in the state will
be on the lookout for cotton worms
and send any suspicious insects to
the Entomologist, Agricultural Col
lege, Miss, for identification.

R. R. MEN TO MAKE VISIT
Stop Here Wednesday With No Espec-
iaI Motive Except to Talk With
and Meet Patrons.

Next Wednesday, Aug. 9th,
prominent railroad officials of the
/. G. will come on a special train
to Brookhaven to meet the business
men and people generally OF this
section. The train will arrive here
at 1855 a. m. and will leave at
1l:40 a. M. Brookhaven is favor
ed with longer stop than a major
ity of places. where the schedule
only allows Is minute stops.
The object Of this visit has no
special 81 igniticance and no special
motive, although, of course, the
object of the trip is on a business
plane. The main idea of the
officials is to get in closer personal
touch and sympathy with their
patrons-to find out what their OBJ
jections and grievances are against
the company. in the way their busf-
ness is handled-explain rates to
them, etc. The head men think
this can better be done by personal
contact than by long letters and in
many cases silence on the part
of patrons who have grievances that
could be satisfactorily explained, if
known.
The party will be met here by
the Board of Trade as an organiza-
tion as well as others who desire to
see the head officials, among
whom will be Assistant Freight
Traffic Manager Fort. Coal Traffic
Manager Cameron. General Freight
Agent Hattendorf. General Passen-
ger Agent Bower, Supervisor Mail |
Traffic Fairchild, and all the heads |
of Division Departments.
The train expects to stop at Wes-
son at 1920 a. M. leaving at |
l0:40; also at Bogue Chitto at IL :55 |
leaving at 1905 p. M; and at Nor
field at 1910 p. m.. departing at
2:20.

CO. H PREVENT LYNCH|NG.
Negro Posing As a White Man in
vicksburg CO.-The Soldiers
Wanted to Lynch Him.

We note that trouble was narrow
ly averted at Camp Evans Monday
night. when it was learned that a
negro, masqueradinp as a white
man, had enlisted in Company A
of Vlcksburg. The Vicksburg
men were incensed and there was
considerable talk of lynching the
offender. The entire force of Com
pany H of Brookhaven. Captain
Jos. L. Storm, was assigned to
guard the man. and he was taken
to Gulfport in a short time and
furnished with funds to get home.
So indignant were the men and
SO imminent the danger of trouble
that it is said the company guard
ing the negro were instructed to
load with ball cartridges and pro-
tect the prisoner at all hazards.
While unfortunate, it was an ac-
cident that could easily occur as
the man was SO light in color it

in Wilmington is approximately

OF the total county assessment here

OF having a general revision of The

minent real estate man said today.
This subject will be discussed In the
conference with the Levy Court.
, A suggestion has been made that
the Levy Court engage three experts
to make general assessment along
scientific lines, based on an average
OF property valuation I'm blocks or
zones, taking into consideration tho
land value and the value Of the build
ings based on cubic foot measurement
for each classification of buildings In

Immediately transferred to the steam

as possible the funeral car bearing
Morgan's body and the private cars

A battalion of the 129th French in
