HAND L%ACERATED

The case has been in the courts for
early four years.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1913-01-17

said to the old fellow: Look here,
uncle, how do you expect your ice to
last any Time at all with this hot sun
burning it up? You ought to put a
top on your wagon" The old darby
scratched his head awhile and replied:
Boss. 'spect you be right and . cal
kerlate | dun hab enuf in my old sock
to buy top fo' dis var wagin." Sure
enough, the next morning when the
wagon drove up there was top on
il; two bows and some unbleached do
nestle making a complete covering.
The old negro, with his beaming sat
isfaction, greeted me with: BOSS,
your suggesschun am dun in order"
Yes, SAM" | answered, "but the
wagon is SO we'll covered that people
can't tell what's in it."
You ar sho a good advising man.
Mr. jim" he replied, land ma he'd
am 'sorbing YOU"
The following morning the old
darky drove up to the platform as
usual, but chuckling with glee and al
most shouting:
Mr.. Jim, Sam am a full born ice
man now and you can tell what's
coming if you jes see his wagin."
True enough. he had painted sign
on either side of his wagon top and
there in genuine niger" lettering
was | E.
This old, ignorant negro had sug-
gested an idea which was destined to
mean much to the development of our
ice business. And we crystallized that
idea. We began advertising ISE, dis
carded the &C. in ice altogether and
substituted the IS" for it, had cleo
trotypes made representing a large
block of ice with 81 S E' printed on
it, painted Use" on all our wagons,
printed it on all our stationery. We
advertised the fact that ICE" could
be bought everywhere but Use" only
at the Weinacker ice factory.
And the people began to buy Use"
Something about it appealed to them
1t might not have been different
product, the price might have been
the same, but the uniqueness of the
proposition took like a duck takes to
water, and our factory was kept work
ing overtime. We increased our ca
pacity, but even then we kept on
working night and day. We are still
manufacturing Use" and selling all
we make. When anyone wants ice
in our community he wants it from
those fellows who spell it with an IS"
and that means us. / might not be
truthful in saying that ice" adver-
Using pays, but assure you that ad-
vertising Use" pays and has put us
away ahead of the "other fellow"

FARMERS COMPANY
is IN BAD SHAPE
WHAT BOOKS OF THE CORPORATION
SHOW.
SOME SURPRISING FIGURES
Company Had an Annual Income of
$1,000 and Salary List of S15,-
o0O-Fifty-one Branches in
in Mississippi.

jackson. Since involuntary bankrupt
ey proceedings against the National
Warehouse Company were filed in the
federal court in this city several weeks
ago, some surprising disclosures have
been brought to light through an audit
of the books of the concern.
The balance sheet sows that the gross
income of the corporation, organized for
the purpose of putting the cotton crop
of the South in the control of the farm
ers, was only $4,000 per annum, while
the salaries alone amounted to over
ST., 900 per annum. In other words, the
company was running $4,000 per annum
behind it's gross income. The salary
roll shows that the former president was
paid a salary of $500 per year.
The company owned or controlled 81
cotton warehouses in the state, on which
valuation of 100000 was placed. 1t
is estimated that the warehouses were
not worth so per cent of that figure,
and they are worth a great deal less
now. Some of them received no cotton
whatever last year, and several ware
houses at important interior market
points did not show receipts exceeding
100 bales for the entire season.
Fictitious values were also placed on
two realty holdings of the concern, one
of them being an ancient brick building
on South State street, in this city, placed
on the inventory at $4,000, when in
fact it could not be sold for $4,000 on
the local realty market. Similarly, a
lot in Hattiesburg is on the inventory
at SIS, 1000, when its real value is below
$4,000.
In view of the showing made by the
books, creditors of the concern are at
loss to understand why the officers of
the National Warehouse Company are re-
sisting the bankruptcy proceedings, I'M
less it is for the reason that they desire
a receiverhsip of their own choosing.

Lowndes County Will Assist in Erad-

Columbus-Dr. d. D. Gill, hookworm
specialist of the state board of health,
appeared before the county board of SUI
pervisors and presented the plan of the
state in cooperation with the various
counties in the work of exterminating
the hookworm and enlightening the gen
eral public along modern and scientific
Laws of sanitation. DIR. Gill, in lucid
and succinct way, laid before the board
the plan of the campaign, stating that
an appropriation of 5000 from the coun-
ty would insure thorough and most
scientific campaign lasting from four to
six weeks, the work to be in charge Of
specialists, who would deliver lectures
and diagnose cases. After hearing Dr..
Gill the board allowed the necessary
5000.

HIS EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY.
Mississippi's Oldest Lawmaker Hale and
Hearty.

Mississippi's Oldest Lawmaker Hale and
Hearty.
jackson. Tuesday was the eightieth
birthday of the nestor of legislation in
Mississippi, Col H. NJ. Street, of Me-
ridian, former speaker of the lower
house, and, for more than forty years
one of the most conspicuous figures in
the public life of the commonwealth.
Although he is now at the four-score
mark, Col Street is still hale and hearty,
in the full enjoyment of all mental and
physical faculties, and bids fair to last
for goodly number of years to come.
The legislative service of Col. Street
dates back to the year 1869, when he
was sent to the lower house from Prem
tiss county, and served by continuous re-
election from that county until he moved
to Lauderdale county in 1882. That
county also sent him to the lower house,
and throughout his period of legislative
service he was an acknowledged leader.
The Lauderdale legislator also served
as q member of the constitutional con-
vention of 1880, and was one of the
leaders in that historic body. He was
three times elected speaker of the lower
house, the last time in 1905.

Against the Death Penalty.
Let us now turn to the arguments
against the death penalty Two
prominent men in the field of pencil
ogy and criminology have presented
their arguments Systematically First.
Warden Wolfer, for many years head
of the Minnesota State penitentiary.
writes:
81 am and always have been OPP
posed to capital punishment for the
following reasons:
''1. Because / do not believe that
capital punishment is In harmony
with and abreast of the best thought
Of modern civilization
49, Because it seems wrong for the
state in every sense to take what 1t
cannot give
g. Because human life is the
prerogative of Divine Providence God
alone can give It and he alone in his
divine wisdom has the right to take
it away.
"a. Because statistics do not show
that capital punishment prevents
homicides.
"5 Because the whole scheme OF
punishment should carry with 1t a
chance for repentance and reform,
whether the offender is ever released
from prison or not"
The leading criminologist in this
country is probably Prof. Charles r
Henderson of the University of Chi
cago. He y the American representa-
tive on the international Prison Com
mission, composed of representatives
of all civilized nations. DR. Hender-
son puts his reasons thus: Il am OPP
posed to capital punishment. because:
1. 1t too often serves revenge.
2. Not needed for the protection of
society.
8. Occasionally is inflicted on the
guiltless.
4. Is irreparable.
5. Tends to increase brutality and
murder
6. Diverts attention from proven
tive policies"
Which brings us to the question.
is the murderer the chief factor to
consider? In the protection of so
ciety from crime, is the example OF
the punished murderer Of greater
value as a deterrent than the possible
Reformation of the individual.
Hanging Not Deterrent.
I have a letter from Warden Hoyle
of San Quentin prison. California.
written recently, in which he says:
Il think it is generally believed that
the death penalty has not materially
lessened the number of murders COM
mitted in this state"
In conclusion would list the states
which on my recent canvass I found
were without the death penalty: Kan
sas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Wis
consin.
From the following states we're re-
ceived reports of agitation toward the
abolition of capital punishment: Cali
fornia, Colorado, Connecticut Indiana.
Massachusetts. Ohio. Oregon. Wash
ington.
Where capital punishment has been
abolished the general disposition
seems to be not to restore it. Where
it still exists many states seem well
satisfied, many others restless
The great public of the state OF
New York is the jury.
What shall the verdict be? Execu-
ton? Perpetual Imprisonment? I'm
prisonment with some hope of pardon
or parole?
