FAKE CASE" CONDEMNED.

The disbarment of Hon. Evon E.
Barber fer engaging in fake
suit for alleged damages against
a railroad company. is another one
of those cases Of which it may be
said as is SO often the case where
vice and crime are uncovered -
There are plenty of others; he's
the only one that happened to get
caught up with. This seems to
have been not considered as a good
reason, however, why Mr.. Barber's
effort to make money out Of a suit
which it is stated he knew could
not be sustained by the facts in the
case. should be paIliated or excus-
ed. or should have gone unwhipped
of justice.
Since man may be condemned
TO punishment regardless of the
crime of others equally guilty, who
escape the law: SO man may keep
his record clear for the same rea-
son.
The Supreme Court will review
the case. which acts as a SUPER
sedeas and prevents the enforce
ment Of the penalty until opinion
Is handed down

SIMPLE ATTIRE FOR YOUNG LADIES
WHO GRADUATE.


Since The Leader has been strong
advocate of simplicity in dress on
local commencement occasions, it

formation that at meeting held

Should Investigate Every Fo6r Years

Mississippi's method of investi-
eating her State institutions and
departments Of government through
and by a special committee created
by the Legislature, is attracting
the attention Of other States. and
inquiries are being made for copies
of the resolution under which the
committee is now working so sue
cessfuIIy. These inquiries have
come from members Of the Legisla-
lures of Alabama, Georgia. Tennes-
see. Arkansas. Texas. Louisiana.
Florida and South Carolina. The
Gazette believes such committee
should be appointed BY the LegisIa-
ture at least once in every four
years. and 1t ought to become an
established custom in Mississippi
for every department and institu-
tion TO be thoroughly Investigated
BY q legislative committee between
sessions Of the Legislature. Mag !.

Bureau on the ginning out-turn of
the present cotton crop was receiv-
ed Saturday morning. 1t embraces
reports by counties throughout the
producing Belt Of all cotton ginned
up to Sept. l, counting round bales
as half bales,
Mississippi is shown TO be far 10
excess of her record on the same
date last year. the figures being
2.027 for 1918 as against 424 on
Sept. /. 1918. The total also ex-
ceeds that of the last four seasons.
Louisiana is also far ahead of
last year with 1866 bales, as COM
pared with 1,742 last year.
Texas. however. is less than In
1911. the figures being 694 .694, and
674 .249 for the respective years.
The total ginned to date in all
the cotton states is 794, ,006, which
ID more than has been shown By
any Sept. I report OF the Bureau 10
the last four aeasons.

COMMENCING A PARK AND PLAY
GROUNDS.

The Leader would call attention
to the article relative to a City
Park in another column, written
by Rev. r. L. Walkup, ex-Pastor
Iof the Brookhaven Presbyterian
chnrch: Secretary of the Home
Mission Board of the Synod of
Mississippi and managing editor of
the Mississippi Visitor, religious
publication of his church.
After the above introduction,
every reader will know that every
word Mr.. Walkup has permitted
to 90 on the printed page is the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the TRUTH without requiring
him to take oath.
The Leader is pleased to empha-
size the matter of a City PARK. 1t
is pleasant to look forward to cul-
mSnating events, for our city,
wi ether Of pleasure or beauty or
business. Attractiveness adds to
community value and fosters civic
pride. Beauty has a commercial
value; and we believe if the small
railroad parks we have today were
placed on the market for shops or
traffic of any kind Brookhaven
would rise up in arms against such
a move, because of their intrinsic
value of a public nature.
On recent visits to Jackson it
was delight of the writer to visit
id the evenings two Of Jackson's
prominent parks at which time our
long desire for a similar park or
fairgrounds for Brookhaven receiv-'
ed momentum. The great crowds
10 attendance-the relaxed business
people, young and old-the JOY of
the children everywhere-in the
great swings. frohcking in the light
and shade among the great trees,
swayed as it were, by the beautiful
music from excellent bands, all
helped to commend the city that
maintains these institutions for its
people and the stranger within its
gates.
There are splendid sites near
Prookhaven to be considered and
recommended for a park and play
grounds.
And the sug gestion made by DR..
Walkup that the church people
alone can forward the movement
for park, is a point we'll taken.
The matter of providing whole
some amusement for young people
and planning pleasures on earth,
rather than picturing always the
joys or the doom beyond, that
young minds cannot appreciate or
understand, to the exclusion of the
fact that something of Heaven may
0e attained here by its reflection in
tise hearts of the little ones"
nade happy by those whose care

comfortable places in which they
can take life easy.
Then, too. as absurd as it may
seem, we are going to have another
SET of officers to elect after while,
even the United States Senators in
due time will have to make the
race again. 1t is fact we haven't
today in Brookhaven a comfortable
place for entertaining such a gath
ering as we have; on these occasions.
With a nice new public park we
can. with very little expense. en-
tertain with delight, all who may
desire to come. Last, but not
least, / am thinking of tie Sunday
Schools. Today we haven't a place
near By to which the churches can
60 and take days outing. The
children must forego this pleasure
or the church besput to a great
expense or 20 through the form Of
having picnic with little results.
This certainly ought not 10 be. II
for no other reason than this, we
should have this park. And If no
one else sees iit to contribute a
dime; the church people Of the
town can well afford to build 1t.
We threw these suggestions out
in the hope that the good people Of
Brookhaven will not only begin to
TALK PARK. but will begin and
equip one or tue best pIay-grouads

GETS A LIFE SENTENCE.
RED" Simmons, Tried Third Time
for Assault on Daughter, is
Again Convicted.

On Thursday morning the jury
in the j. E. Simmons case, after
coming out of their room three
times for rendering averdict only to
be sent back by the court, to c9r-
rect the form Of their verdict,
finally brought in the following
verdict: I'VE. the Jury, find the
defendant guilty as charged, but
fail to agree upon the punish
ment." Under such verdict the
law directs the court. to impose a
penalty Of life Imprisonment in the
State penitentiary. In a former
trial of this case, the same verdict
was returned. 1t is already an
nounced by the defendants attor-
neys that they will again appeal
the case.
The case of E. S. Atkinson.
charged with embezzIing the funds
of the Peoples Bank of Summit. is
now being tried, the case being
here on a change of venue from
Pike county. Mr.. M. T. Gracey,
the present receiver of the Bank, is
the only witness so far examined
by the State. A large number of
books and records were before the
jury that testified about the wit
ness. A large number Of Pike
county people. some of whom lost
their savings in the failure of this
bank, are attending the trial.
The Grand Jury reconvened We'd
nesday. From the witnesses known
to have been before the jury it may
be expected that some surprising
developments will result. 1t is
rumored that the negro Willie
Williams, recently captured in Nc
Comb. will state all he knows about
certain burglaries that have been
SO frequent in this and other coun-
ties in the past few months. From
what can be learned 1t is supposed
there is an organized band of these
burglars and that some Brookhaven
white men are connected with
them.
The Grand Jury was expected to
make Its final report yesterday
afternoon.
