EGGS ARE THROWNAT
MERIDIAN MINISTER
BY AN ANGRY CROWD
to Clean Out the Re-
stricted District of That
City Have Caused Much
Feeling to Be Aroused

Meridian, Miss. July H.-(SpecialD
The developments that occurred during
and since the trial of Beatrice Bullock,
a woman charged with keeping house
in the restricted district, show that a
great deal of feeling has developed be
tween the factions favoring and opposing
the restricted district.
Tuesday night at the conclusion Of the
trial of the woman, which resulted in
hung jury. the Rev. Lycurgus Spinls,
a young Methodist minister, who swore
out the warrant against the woman and
nine others, was fixing to get on street
car to go to his home in the suburbs.
He had learned that there might be trou-
bic in store for him and when he walked
to the corner of Eighth street and Twen-
ty-third avenue, where he was to board
the street car he walked between two
ministers who had heen at the trial of
the woman.
Reaching the corner mentioned. Mr.
Spinks was hid under cover of the en-
trance to the Central Methodist church.
and remained here until told that his
car was coming. When he started to
eggs greeted him. A crowd of about 20
men and boys had gathered aud they
threw about a dozen eggs at the young
minister as he was getting on the car.
Only one or two of them struck him. The
matter was not reported to the police and
no effort was made to locate the guilty
ones
Preceding this a most acrimonious dis
cussion was made of the case and espe-
cially of Mr. Spinks by the attorneys for
the defense of the woman. 1t began when
one of the attorneys made remarks that
were considered by some to reflect on
the ministers present-and nearly every
minister of the city was present. One of
the ministers spoke to one of the attor-
neys for the woman and asked him if he
had refer nee in his remarks to all the
ministers of the city.
The two had some warm words when
the attorney asked permission to make
a statement. the jury having retired
He stated that what he had said was
the city generally, but was intended
for Rev. Lycurgus Spinks, who had
sworn out the warrants against the
women. He stated that Mr.. Sphinx 8
had not more than four months ago
visited certain houses under the en-
plOyment OF county Attorney MllleF ana
had purchased beer, his purpose being
to have the women indicted for the un-
lawful sale of liquor When the attor-
ney offered to produce the records Of
the board of supervisors showing that
Mr.. Spinks had received something like
$40, the minister said that he had re-
ceived money and said that he could
produce an itemized statement showing
how every dollar was expended.
He stated that his purpose in having
the women arrested was to break up
one of the means for perpetuating the
white slavery evil that without these
houses there could be no white slavery
market.
He also stated that he expected to
provide a home for all women who
wanted to reform and live a better
life. Mr.. Spinks is now engaged In an
effort to build rescue home in this
city and has the support of a number
of good people.

BROWN MAY RUNFOR
THE SUPREME COURT
Montgomery Jurist Says He
Has Not Yet Definitely
Decided Upon Course

Montgomery, July 17.-fSpeciaL)-
Capitol officials are Interested in a
report which declares that Judge Arm
istead Brown of the criminal division
of the city court of Montgomery. Will
be a candidate for associate justice of
the supreme court in the next demo-
cratic primary. Judge Armistead Brown
has been Judge of the city court here
for FIVE years and although a young
man has won for himself much prom
inence and reputation as an able and
learned iurist. 1t is safe to say that
few lawyers ever sat on the bench in
Montgomery who achieved the popu-
larity that Judge Brown has won dur
ing his period in office and the friends
OF Judge Brown declare he will make
candidate
When approached by The Age Herald
correspondent here regarding his prob
able candidacy for associate Justice of
the supreme court, Judge Brown re-
piled:
Yes, a large number of my friends
have asked me to run for this office and
have given me every assurance of their
support and cooperation in the event
decide to make the race. ] have
the matter under consideration and can
not make any positive announcement
until l have had time to give the ques-
tion deep and serious thought. Right
now ] have time to give little thought
to politics and shall not do so until
have an opportunity to give the mat
ter the consideration and study which
the question deserves"
The probable candidacy of Judge
Armistead Brown for associate justice
has been favorably received by a large
number of his friends in Montgomery,
and II is believed that a similar re-
sponse will be made to his candidacy
in other sections of the state.
Another Montgomerian who has been
mentioned for associate justice of the
supreme court is Judge William H..
Thomas, who is also thought to be
considering an announcement. Judges
Edward deGraffenried of Greensboro
and Judge James J. Mayfeld of Tus-
caloosa, whose term of office as asso-
ciate justice will expire in January,
1915, will be candidates for recollection.
Judge Mayfield was elected on the
supreme court in 1908 and has made a
brilliant reputation as a jurist Judge
deGraffenried was appointed on the
bench to succeed Judge r. T. Simpson.
having been elevated by Governor
O'Neal from the court of appeals.
Judge deGraffenried, although having
served little more than a year on the
supreme court, has achieved consider
able recognition as jurist and it is
believed that both he and Judge May
field will make a strong race for re-
election.
