Plantation Manager Arrested Following

Sumner.-Based on the dying state
ment of I. Y. Wylie, former plantation
manager, who was killed in a. local drug
store in a pistol battle, in which it was
first reported that he and lack Denton,
who was also killed, were the only par.
Elephants, E. j. Marley, general manager
for the group of plantations owned by
Mrs. Smith Murphy, is under arrest on
a charge of murder. Wylie is said to
have stated in the presence of wit

ley was implicated. Further than this
Or accusation that Marley actually did
any of the shooting he was silent. Mar.
ley was IN the outside of the state in
which the shooting took place at the
time of the tragedy, and there is no
evidence at hand that he actually par.
ticipated in the battle which resulted in
the death of two men.

Script and Print.

The differences between script and
print are to be referred to a date long
before the invention Of printing. We
must not suppose that the ancient
scribes. In writing papers of but tenn
porary value, would labor to follow the
same alphabet that the carver EN-
ployed upon the monuments OF stone
destined for all time. As far back as
records have been preserved there was
In existence a cursive style Of writing.
Instances have been preserved abun-
dainty In Pompeii Of random remarks
by the ordinary citizen %scribbling idle
sentiments upon the walls.
The alphabet Of the monuments was
commonly the model for the writer's of
formal literature. professional penmen
who looked forward to the library
preservation of the works upon which
they we're engaged. Business men
used the cursive script, which was far
more readily and correspondingly
more rapidly written. The monumental
and manuscript hand has served as
the parent Of the printed letter; the
cursive hand is the ancestor of pen
manship.-Harper's Weekly.

AMONG THE SERVO ROATS
New York Freight Handlers Demon
Strate Utility Of Cooperative
Housekeeping.

From the zadHgas Of one Of the
oldest hill countries Of Europe to the
cooperative flats Of New York's mid
die west side, from the balkans to
Hell's Kitchen and back again to take
part in the war against the Turks
that is the swing Of the human pendu-
lum which we call immigration, writes
Marie Savsovich Orenstein In the Sur
vey. So It Is that the struggle OF the
allies against the Mussulman lifted
into interest a community of New
York freight handlers, who were one
of a series Of racial groups studied
by the bureaus of social research un.
der the auspices of the Russell Sage
foundation.
Among the Servo-Croats OF this COM
munity the cooperative household, or
Drustvo, prevails. Common expendi-
lures for living necessities are borne
equally by each member of a group.
A common plan is for the group to
hire a boss" or cook" The house
boss receives from each member Of
the group 81 to So a month, as the
case may be, for his labor; that is,
cooking, cleaning and laundry. The
position Of the house boss, especially
where he Is an older man. is fire.
Quently that OF sage and counselor
who Is posted on all the latest doings
and gossip in the colony-and Of bank
or as we'll.
When the house boss Is a married
man he has a regular occupation, and
Is considered a formal member OF the
8roup, contributing his share to the
household expenditures. His wife per-
forms the house-boss function, does
the Homework, and thus largely sup
plements the family income. When
there are children they are fed and
housed without any extra charge be-
ing made to either parent, the group
as q whole bearing the expense. This
was very pointedly demonstrated In a
household where there were four men
besides the house boss, his wife and
four children. And does the father
not pay a little more than the rest Of
your was asked. mo; why should
he? Eth, what do the children then
eat?"-and In his reply could be de-
tected quite as much amazement at
the question as the interrogation felt
at the response.

TO BORROW TO AID
STORM SUFFERERS
GOV. BREWER APPEALS BY COR.
rESP0NDENCE TO LEGISLATURE.
Secretary Buck Telephones Him in Mem.
phis, and Is Instructed to Send q
Letter to Each Members Of
the Legislature.

Jackson.-For the third or fourth time
during the past Is months has Gov.
Brewer been compelled to 60 to the
members OF the Legislature by CORES
Pondence for authority t. borrow money
wherewith to meet emergency expenses
growing out of conditions which could
not be ignored. This time it is abso-
lutely necessary that provisions be
made for relief of sufferers from last
Saturdays storm, which played across
North Mississippi, a fact which vas
brought to the executive department by
a special delegation from Lee County,
sent there specially to lay before him
the actual condition of suffering pre-
vailing, composed of j. S. Howerton,
Representative N. H. Crenshaw and II.
A. Long. In the absence of Gov. Brewer
In Memphis, Secretary Buck got in COM
munication with him by telephone,
placed the mat " before him and was
promptly insti Ted to dispatch a letter
to each member of the Legislature, the
fofm OF which the executive commune
Gated to Mr.. Buck. This letter asks for
authority to borrow on the best avail
able terms at. not exceeding 6 per cent,
$4,000. As itNis too big a proposition
I he handled by the people of the To-
caiities affected, the situation justifies
the negotiation of an emergency loan at
once owing to the depletion of the exec
utive contingent fund, and a prompt
reply by telegraph is urgently requested.
Closing his letter the governor observes:
This is a case where humanity de-
mands prompt action, and l know it will
appeal to yen. The Gate owes this duty
to its citizens"

all side pressure.
The maids often lost their situations

CASE IN CUSTER SUIT
ANTI,REM0vAL ACT TO GO TO THF
SUPREME COURT.
Court Says Acts of Legislature Not In
Conflict With State or Federal Con-
stitutions Should Be
Upheld.

Jackson.-Several cases of more than
usual and local interest were handled
by the judges Of the Supreme Court, be.
ing handed down prior to the call of
the state criminal docket, as q result
of the sounding of which list all except
a few cases were submitted outright
without argument.
Chief Justice Smith handed down the
celebrated case of the State VS.. Louis
vile & Nashville Railroad Company,
which has been before the court for
some time from Harrison County. The
decision of the court in this controversy
was a sustaining of the noted Anderson
Leftwich anti-removal act of the Legis.
lature of 1908, which declares penalty
ard custer of any public service corpo.
ration doing business in whole or in
part in the state, which shall remove
any suit instituted by the courts or the
railroad commission, in state courts,
from such jurisdiction to the federal
court. The case at bar was the out
growth of an order of the railroad com.
mission to the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Company to make an extra
stop in the city of Bay st. Louis, which
the company resisted. The attorney.
general caused a suit to be filed in the
~chancery court to compel compliance,
and this action was removed by the rail.
road company to the United States
court, and the matter was argued back
and forth by counsel associated with
the encouragement, and by counsel for
the railroad company. Finally the char
cellor decided the act in question un.
constitutional. In passing on the case
Chief Justice Smith observed that the
states contention was so clearly upheld
at a former sitting of the court, by an
opinion prepared by the late c. H. Alex.
ander, as special justice, that an opia.
ion at this time was unnecessary. Suf.
fcient to say that the former decision
was upheld, the theory of this court
being that it was its duty to uphold
acts of the Legislature whose terms and
provisions are not at variance with the
state or federal constitution.
Case to Be Appealed.
The case is now in a position to bs
carried direct to the supreme court Of
the United States, the effect of which
would be, if upheld, to outlaw the
Louisville & Nashville from engaging in
intra-state business as penalty for dis
regarding the state law involved in the
litigation.

JUNIOR PROM WAS
 BRILLIANT AFFAIR

The Junior Prom at Elks' hall last night was a brilliant affair and called out one hundred couples, many at tending from Douglas and Treadwell. The hall was beautifully decorated in the class colors, orange and black. Palms and American flags aided in the scheme of beautifying the place. A cozy corner arranged in one end of the room with a student lamp on the table looked nice and honey and be- came favorite spot for spoony cou- pies. The seven-piece orchestra fur nished excellent music and the poetry of motion was heightened by grace tul forms and beautiful costumes. A new moon set near one end of the stage lent charm to the scene when the moonlight waltz was played, the lights of the hall being turned low. Fruit punch was served.
 There was not dull moment dur ing the entire evening. Great credit Is due the committees having the af' fair ip hand The committe on decor ation consisted of Helen Blackwell, Gunnard Gustafson, Alma Sowerby, Alice Tibbits, Ed. Beattie; the com mittee on music and refreshments was composed of George Nelson, Charles Sabin and Russell Casey.
