VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
TO HALT NIGHT RIDING

Henderson, KY, June 2O.-Vol-
unteers were armed and sent TO the
tobacco patches of Western Ken
lucky to-day to halt might riding
after the organization Of a Vigi-
lance Committee, which numbers
nearly 400 members here. The
committees leader is a man who is
said to have been one of the Ku-
Klux-Klan of post-bellum days.
The armed volunteers will attempt
TO check interference with tobacco
planting.
Organization of the committee
resulted from frequent recent
clashes between warning tobacco
interests-the planters and those
who seek to restrict the tobacco
acreage. One of the might riders"
it was announced to-day, has given
list of members in his locality to
the vigilantes.
Editions of an evening paper,
which has vigorously objected to
methods of the might riders,' were
issued to-day under armed guard,
after plot to wreck the newspa-
per's plant had been frustrated.

TO OPERATE ON BRAIN
TO STOP BOYS GROWTH
At Fifteen, He Is Six Feet Seven

Other Ways.

Philadelphia, June 20.-Surgeons
at the Medico-C hirurgical Hospital
are anticipating the successful out.
come of an operation on a fifteen
year-old boy for giganticism. The
youth. John Michael, is now six
feet seven ichens tall and the doc
tors have decided TO remove a por-
ton of the pituitary gland from the
base OF the boys brain. This OPP
Grafton has never been performed
before for such reason. The pit
uitary gland is believed TO control
the mechanism of life that has TO
do with the growth of an individual
and to stop the boy from outgrow-
ing everybody and everything, they
have decided to do what animal ex-
periments have shown are success
full when made on a dog.
The six surgeons of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania who are now
under arrest on the charge of cruel
ty, performed such an operation
and it is one of the cases involved
in the charges against them.
Michael outgrew all the boys in
school and finally refused to 90 to
school. for all the children ''joshed"
him about his size. The smaller
children feared him and when he
got on the open trolly cars every
body Uttered. He had to stoop
when he went into any door and at
home his father had to have an en-
ira bed made for him. At the hos
pital, where he was undergoing the
rest treatment, IL was necessary to
make a new cot for him and the
bed clothes had to be cut in half
and pieced so as to cover the youth
ful giant.
Mentally the boy is normal thus
far. The surgeons say that if the
operation is not performed he will
become afflicted with a mental dis
ease, for the overgrowth of the rest

COMPLAINS At THIEVES
STEALING FRONT YARD

Chicago, H., June 20.-Claude
V. Ridgely. a lawyer, residing in
Gary, Ind, complained to the po-
lice the other day that enterprising
thieves had stolen his front yard.
This is in line with former feats by
burglars in Gary, who stole side
walks, hot stoves. children and even
entire houses.
Ridgely paid $50 for a carload of
black dirt TO place on top of the
sand in his yard so that he could
have a lawn. The thieves took note
of this fact. came with wagons
while Mr.. Ridgely and his family
were in Chicago, scraped off all the
black dirt and hauled it away.
Inasmuch as Ridgely cannot
identify his dirt. he stands to buy
a fresh supply and nail it down, or

y A general strike of the miners of
the New River field, included in
District No. %. will be called next
week. Such was the announcement
made tonight by Thomas Hagger-
", National Board member, who
attended meeting OF the District
and Sub-District Boards at Beckley
to-day.
The number of miners affected
will be between 5000 and $1,000,
depending upon what concessions
may be granted by the operators
within the next few days.
The miners, Haggerty declared,
are restless, and probably would or
ganize a walkout in case the strike
should not be called by the District
Board.
The New River operators are
comforting among themselves, but
have made no announcement.
The strike in the New River field
is expected 10 result in a renewal
of the strike on Cabin and Paint
Creeks, where an attempt was made
at meetings of the miners TO call a
strike last Monday. If the Paint
and Cabin Greek miners follow the
example of the New River miners
the men on strike will total from
$1,000 to $4,000.
In the closing hours of the inves-
tieatiOn by the Senate committee
the operators attempted to show
the connection of Mother Jones, ."
aged labor leader, with the riotous
conditions on Paint and Cabin
Creeks. Testimony was adduced to
show that Mrs. Jones told the mi
ners to purchase guns and TO refuse

thOrities and that she would lead
them in their fights against the
mine guards of Paint and Cabin
Creeks.

WE FAVOR
GOOD ROADS.

We need good roads and should
do all that can be done, but all
talk will never accom- plish the
desired end. There could be
nothing mord desirable than a
good road between Starkville and
Columbus, chiefly for utility for
the farmer, the agriculturahst to
transport his products to the
market. Whenever the afgu-
ment is presented as the chief
reason for the great macadam
high way between the two
points, the great educational IN
stitutions, the /. I. & G. and A.
& M. College, the real force and
effect IS greatly if not totally
lost, is without question SO im-
paired that there is no power Ia
it. Two institutions could not
be more conveniently situated
than the two now; going from
the A. & M. College to the /. l.
|, s. c., one can enter an auto and
within a minute can catch the
train for Columbus and on reach
ing Columbus the street cars
propelled by electricity goes to
the great girls school, and if
desired an auto can be procured
to complete the journey, dis
tance of 80 to 100 feet. The
route to and from these instltu-
tions is about as convenient as
one would ordinarily have them.
Let the road be built. but when
completed let it be such that the
farmer will derive the greatest
benefit from 1t and not be ruled

it will not only be- a play ground,
but areal model road in every
respect, useful for the general
public, benefitting all alike. The
people of Okhbbeha county paid

section. Let the two counties
build the road, together with the
state paying its proportional part
of the taxes according to the
taxes according. to the property
value of the two great education
al institutions. Lets have the
road. Are these equitable plans?

College Commencement.

The fall session of the A. & M. Col
lege opened Wednesday under most
auspieions circumstance with seven
hundred enrolled students. The cere-
monies were simple, but most appro-
pirate, prayer by Rev. w. A. Jordan and
a most excellent and eloquent address
by Hon, j. Fl. Welborn, legislative
representative from the eastern part of
Oktibbeha county. The address was
most Instructive, entertaining and we'll
received. Before the close of the day
there were thousand or more of boys
arrived upon the grounds from differ
ent sections of the state to become
students.
The president and faculty have reas-
ons to anticipate one of the most success
full, harmonious and prosperous years
for this institution in its history. Gref t
is the A. &OfM. College, much greater
than we can realize.

the great cattle growing section

ural advantages and the present
and growing demand for cattle
with commensurate prices, farm
ers must quit selling their female
and immature stock declares DIR.
G. M. Morgan, dairy agent OF
the Southern Railway, who
sounds a warning against con-
tinuation of the wholesale depor-
tatlon of cattle from the south.
Farmers should keep their
heifers and build up the quality
of their stock by the use of pure
bred bulls of dairy or beef type
as DESIRED" says DR.. Morgan.
This is the only way to increase
the number or the quality of cat
tie in the southeast. The scarci.
ty Of cattle is world wide and 1T
will never be possible to secure
enough pure-bred cattle to de-
velop the industry in the south
east.
Farmers who sell calves are
simply giving the dealer a good
part of the profit they should
have themselves. IL calves were
fatted on the farm, using cotton
seed meal as a concentrate, a
higher price per pound would be
received and the farmer would
not only profit by this and the
additional weight but would have
in the manure IS per cent of the
fertilizing value of the cotton
seed meal.
with the good grazing
furnished by Bermuda grass and
Burr clover and the abundance
of forage crops that yield bounti-
fully in the southeast, this SEQ
tion should be the great source
of the country's beef and dairy
supply. The dairy divis-
ion of the Southern Railway will
send a man to help ouild d dip
ping vat or silo and toIco operate
with persons in the dairy busi-
ness or desiring to enter 1t. The
U. S. Department of Agriculture
has offered to co operate with
farmers who have eradicated
ticks and will send an expert to
aid farmers in choosing desirable
bulls of either dairy Or beef
type"

THESE ARE OUR
SENTIMENTS.

The suggestion has been made
by faculty members at the A.
| g. M. College that printing
plant should be established at
the institution, and all the print
ing work done by student labor.
There is no more reason why
the A. & Nj. College should es-
tablish a printing plant than
there is reason for the establish
ment of a soap factory, a jewelry
store. or wholesale drug store
at the institution.
The business of the A. & M.
College is to educate the young
men of Mississippi, and not to
engage in competition with any
branch of the manufacturing in;
dustry.
If the faculty members, and
others in authority at the A. &
NJ. College want to accomplish
much needed reform on the SUBJ
ject of printing they should quit
sending to establishments outside
the state for printing work that
can be done as nicely and as
cheaply by plants in Mississippi,
AS the Winona Times well
says, the newspaper publishers of
Mississippi have given loyal
support to the A. & M. College,
but if the institution is to engage
in the printing business, then the
newspapers will be justified in
charging the college regular
advertising rates everytime 1t
seeks favorable publicity.
Many, many things are needed
at the A, & M. College far more
than a printing plant. One IS al
president Of proper educational
and executive equipment. An
other is first, class faculty.

We have clipped the above
from one of our exchanges ana
reproduce it. 1t might impress
the casual reader that some OF

their rights are being encroached
upon or threatened and that II
will destroy their business to a
very appreciable degree. In the
concrete the conclusion as reach
ed is correct lntultively, so far as
the printing plant is concerned
and if the other requisites are
lacking they should most assured

is not debatable. Mere asser-

should hold positions in our edu

CENTRAL POWER co.
INDICTED IN BUTTS
FOR DAM NUISANCE

JACKSON, GA, Feb 20.-The Gen.
trail Georgia Power Company of Ma
con, of which Judge w. H. FELTON, is
president, has been indicted by the
Butts county grand jury for maintain
ing nuisance IN connection with it's
power plant on the Ocmulgee river.
This action of the grand jury caused
the keenest interest here, where many
Of the people are directly interested.
1t is held that the reservoir caused
by the building Of the power dam is a
breeding place for mosquitoes and that
it produces an unhealthy condition, and
that the people are unable to live near
1t. For these reasons, a large number
of suits have been filed against the
company in the city court of Jackson,
the suits aggregating more than $780,
600.
Last fall. in the city court Of Jackson,
the power company was convicted of
maintaining a nuisance. and Judge
Fletcher imposed fine of 81 900. This
case was reversed by the court Of APP
peais last week.
