THEY LIED TO THE Jury
Judge Miller Uses Strong Language
in Home Town Where Ne Knows
the Conditions.

Hazlehurst, Miss, May %. LIN.
censed at the failure of the grand
jury to secure sufficient evidence of
which to return indictments for al.
legged gambling in Hazlehurst,
Judge Miller announced from thu
bench Tuesday that deliberate per.
jury had been committed. and thai
the court would order the immel
diate arrest of the parties concern.
ed and have them appear before
the next grand jury.
Following the report of the
grand jury to the effect that the
evidence sufficient for an indict.
ment was lacking. Judge Miller
arose, and facing the jury announc.
ed with lively show of spirit: ~
gave you the names of men who
know that gambling was going on
in Hazlehurst and who, / thought.
would tell the truth. The court
was mistaken. Those men lied.
They deliberately committed per-
jury. They do not deceive the
people of this community. They
know they have committed perjury.
The court will have them arrested,
and placed under bond to appear
before the next grand jury"
The grand jury completed its
labors Tuesday after a session of Is
days. in which 103 witnesses had
been examined. Indictments
against Is persons were returned.
Among the recommendations of
the grand jury is one calling for a
public accountant to examine the
books of the sheriff. The jury
stated that the members had looked
into the reports of the sheriff as
we'll as they could in their limited
time. and to all appearances they
we're correct. I'VE desire, how
ever, to let the people know
whether they are in fact correct
and what is being done with the
public's money"
The jury reported that under the
present system of forwarding the
names of persons delinquent for
road tax to justices of the peace
for collection. there was no correct
way of ascertaining what sums of
money are collected; that the books
of the justices of the peace appear
to be correct, but an expert ac-
countant ought to be employed to
audit their dockets and sscertain
whether they have accounted for All
money collected.

some BUSINESS LAWS you
OUGHT TO KNOW KBoI

There are few brief points OF
business law that it might be well
to remember:
Ignorance of the law excuses no
one.
The act of one partner binds all
the others.
A contract made on a Sunday is
void.
A principal is liable for the acts
of his agents.
An agent is liable to his princi-
pal for errors.
A receipt for money paid is not
legally conclusive.
A signature made in lead pencil
is good in law.
An agreement without considera.
tion. expressed or implied. is void.
A contract made with a minor
cannot be enforced. A note made
with minor is voidable.
A partial payment of an outlaw.
ed debt revives the obligation.
Notes obtained by fraud, or
made by an intoxicated person, are
not collectable.
If no time of payment is speci.
fed in note it is payable on de-
mand.
A note which does not state upon
its face that it bears interest will
bear interest after maturity.
An indorser may avoid liability
by writing without recourse
under his signature.
Do not accept a note until you
are certain that it is dated correct.

To Owners and Operators of Cotton Gins:

We beg to advise you that within
the past 80 days the steamship peo-
pie. the railroad people. the COM
press people, and others have held
conferences in Louisiana. Texas and
Tennessee and adopted resolutions
to govern the size Of the cotton
bale.
1t has been adopted that no cot
ton press bux shall exceed q inches
wide nor over 54 iDches long. and
that the best grade of bagging be
used for covering.
These resolutions will go into
effect on the 1st day of July. 1913.
Therefore it behooyes all Gin
men, who expect to operate their
gins the coming season. to see that
their press boxes are not over q
inches wide nor over 81 iLches long.
Should it exceed these dimensions,
at a small cost, and with very little
work you can reduce it to the re-
quired size. by lining the inside Of
your press box, ends and sides. also
lower doors with lumber Of the
necessary thickness, then trim the
follow block to suit.
You should give this matter your

will be forced to report all over

ticket. which will mean that the
buyer shall deduct and collect the
one dollar penalty imposed on each

The appeal or request to adopt a
standard bale of Gotten, has been
made often before. and the matter
was given little or no concern, but
nov the q by 50 inch cotton press
box is the maximum dimensions
allowed.
Let all act wisely and promptly
and not hesitate to see that his
press box does not exceed p inches

this one dollar penalty.

A Simple Cooking Lesson.

Eaas
No other article Of diet, OF animal ori-
gin, 10 used in such quantities or In 30
many combinations - eggs. Let rs con-
slider few simple ways Of cooking eggs.
First Of all We shall learn how to COOK
them for breakfast. We may serve
them poached, fried, hard or soft
cooked, or In omelets. Often we
hear people speak OF hard or soft boiled
eggs. Now the truth of the matter 10
this. A boiled egg 10 not good food.
EQps will cook in water far below the
boiling point. A general rule In cooking
eggs 10 to use % little heat ~ possible.
Here 10 an excellent way to cook eggs IN
the she'll.
We will say We want to cook six eggs.
Take q medium sized saucepan. Pour
into it six pints of boiling water. Drop
In the eggs and cover the pan. Pull 1t
TO the back of the range and let 1t stand
for FIVE minutes. The eggs will then be
of jelly-like consistency, and are what
we call soft cooked eggs.1
If you desire hard cooked eggs, let
them remain In the water for ten min
utes. They will then be quite firm.
Remember they are not boiled, but are
allowed to absorb the heat from the
water. This makes me think OF . story
A man stopped at . small inn which
was owned by an aged negro woman. He
ordered soft boiled EGGS" Three
times he sent them back to the Kitchen
because they were too hard. Finally bis
order was filled to his satisfaction. As
be sat eating the eggs the old negress
came from the kitchen and said, "You
ordered the eggs boiled, Boss. If you
only wanted them bet, why didn't you
say SOP"
Hard cooked eggs are much used in
salads and as garnish for other foods.
For these purposes they may be prepar.
cd as follows: =.
Into q saucepan put six pints of cold
water, add six eggs and bring the water
slowly so the boiling point. Remove
from the stove and let the eggs cool In
the water in which they were cooked.
Poached or dropped eggs are removed
from the shell, dropped into boiling,
salted water to cover, removed to the
back of the stove. Let stand until jel-
lied.
Now let us learn one way OF combin'
ing potatoes and eggs.
Prepare six medium potatoes. When
quite dry and mealy put them through a
fruit press, or with wooden spoon,
press them through fine wire strainer.
These should be put directly into the
dish In which they are to be served.
Have ready two hard cooked eggs and
press them through the strainer directly
over the riced potatoes. Ssltlightly and
serve at once.
This makes very attractive dish, and
the combination of eggs and potatoes 10
excellent. More than that, 1t Is dish
that my young housekeepers can prepare
to perfection.
Try 1t, each one of you, and see
how father likes it.
