N. W. HARRIS SHOOTS PROWLER
THOUGHT TO BE BOOZE SELLER

Merry Harris created an unusual
stir in the usually quiet neIghbor-
hood Of his home in the northwest
ern part of town Sunday night
when he inocuIated a negro's leg
with a liberal supply of bird shot.
The darkey was named Dudley
Perkins and had been in the employ
of Harris, who has been suspecting
him of selling whisky as we'll as
keeping his supply in some out Of
the way place on his premises.
Several times at night Harris has
been aroused by some one prowling
around the premises and on the
night in question, about s o'clock,
he heard a noise outside and secur-
ing his shot gun crept out to see
who the intruder was. In turning
a corner of the house he caught
sight Of some ones leg just disap-
pearing and proceeded 10 take a
snap shot at the target. A loud
yell Immediately emitted from the
other extremity of the moving tar
get, Perkins needing no further in
vitation to leave the premises with
out making any stops or saying
goodbye. When he was last heard
from he had made his way to Crys-
tai Springs.
An examination under the house
resulted in two quarts Of whisky
being found.

EFFORT WILL Be MADE TO
ABOLISH COUNTY FEE SYSTEM

An effort will be made at the
next legislative session to abolish
the fee system in the offices OF
chancery clerks, sheriffs and tax
collectors, and circuit clerks.
A measure of this character has
been presented at each biennial ses-
sion for several years, but received
very little serious consideration,
being usually defeated in commit
tee rooms.
The present movement, however,
is understood to have a strong back
ing, and a bill is being framed
providing for graduated scale of
salaries for these two offices, based
on population and present fees
collected that will give fair COM
pensation to the sheritfs, chancery
clerks and circuit clerks.
The sheriffs of Mississippi have a
state organization, and will proba-
bly, make a strong fight az gainst the
bills. Hostility is also expected
from incumbents of other county
offices.

DAILY TRAINSONB. SP. R.
Board Of Trade and Citizens on Line
Get Their Continuance From
R. R. Commission.

Through the efforts of Chairman
j. Nj. Wood, of the Public Service
Committee, of the Brookhaven
Board of Trade. and w. H. Seayey
of the same organization, in cun-
junction with a committee of citi-
zens from Nola and Monticello. the
efforts of the railroad to curtaiI
the service on the Brookhaven 4
Pearl River Railroad to only two
trains week has been frustrated.
These gentlemen appeared before
the Railroad Commission and so
forcibIy put up the many reasons
why a daily service should be con-
tinued that this body forthwith
issued the following order:
This cause came on to be heard
on the petition of the Brookhaven
and Monticello Railroad, branch
line Of the Illinois Central Rail-
road, praying for authority to cease
operating Its daily train over the
line of the said railroad, except
twice a week, and the Commission,
having heard the statements of
General Superintendent Potterfield,
and attorneys of said railroad, as
we'll as the citizens of Brookhaven
and others living along the line of
said railroad, in opposition to the
prayer and the Commission after
considering the matter, is of the
opinion that the prayer Of the said
railroad company should be denied.
and the Commission hereby orders
said railroad company to continue
operating its daily train over the
line of said railroad, and that it
fix its schedule for said daily train
so that it will leave Brookhaven at
not later than $3.50 o'clock q. M.
and on its return trip shall not
leave Monticello earlier than 8
o'clock p. M. of the same day and
the said railroad company is hereby
ordered to make this change Of
schedule within a period Of ten
days from this date.

4 JOKE ON OFFICERS EARLY
MONDAY MADE BAD TEMPERS

A joke that was not at all pleas
ant in anticipation, even if it had
turned out to be a reality, served
to get several of the officers rather
wratby early Monday morning and
with good cause.
About 3 a. m. Night Policeman
II. G. Penn was called to the LONG
distance phone and informed by a
man that he was Deputy Sheriff
Brewer, of Lawrence county; that
a man had escaped from the county
Jail at Monticello after killing
Sheriff L. T. Roberts and two other
men aud was headed towards
Brookhaven. being heavily armed.
The phone message advised that it
would be best to get a good posse
out to take the fellow as he was
not going to give himself up.
Taking it all in good faith Mr..
Penn at once talked over the wires
to Sheriff Montgomery, who came
down with Winchester and shot
gun or two and all the other small
artillery that he was able to lug
along and preparations we're made
to give the triple murderer warm
reception. Besides the sheriff,
Assistant Constable M. E. Woods
was called in. and with the two
night policemen. Mr. Penn and
Henry Williams. the quartette fig-
ured that the crowd was enough.
After long discussion about
putting the lights out on the street,
taking their positions in second
story buildings, and other modes
that seemed to be the best at the
time to make a capture certain,
the Sheriff had a happy thought
and decided to talk to Deputy
Sheriff Brewer himself, at Month
cello. What was his surprise to
lind that the deputy had sent 10 no
message at all and that all was
quiet on the Rearl!''
Most OF the officers got home in
time for a late breakfast. but have
been rather reticent about discuss
ing the Mexican warfare plan they
had agreed to carry out ia The early
morning hours on the Lawrence
murderer.
A later investigation il an en-
deavor to find out the perpetrator
Of the joke BY phone has resulted

Who WANTS THIS BOY?
Destitute Little 12-Year-OId Chap
at Sanitarium Wants Some
One to Take Him in.

AT the Brookhaven Sanitarium
is bright little boy of twelve
who claims that he has no home,
no relatives, no friends, no money,
no clothes; is sick and destitute.
He was making his way. by a free
ride, from Natchez to Chatawa,
when he stopped off here. His
father died five years ago, leaving
his mother penniless; she moved to
Natchez where she lived by taking
in washing; but a few weeks ago
she died, leaving him destitute
and without a home or friends.
After drifting about. getting a
meal here and there, begging for
it or working for it, sleeping in
negro cabins or in the police sta
tion when nobody would give him
a bed. he finally decided to make
his way back to Chatawa, where
his mother formerly lived. The
conductor believed his story and
brought him as far as Brookhaven;
but just before reaching here, he
was taken violently III, Some kind
people assisted him off the train
and took him to the Sanitarium.

PLANNING STATE EXPOSITION FOR
1917.

A request for state aid will be
made at the next legislative session
by the Mississippi Centennial Elk
position Company, an organization
formed among prominent citizens
of the gulf coast for the purpose of
celebrating Mississippi's Tooth
birthday in 1917.
The movement was launched
about eighteen months ago, and, in
event the state exposition is held
IN celebration of the anniversary,
lit will doubtless take place at
Gulfport. or midway between Gulf
port and Biloxi, the latter place
being Mississippi's oldest city.
The legislature of 1912 passed a
law authorizing counties and muni-
cipalities to make appropriations
for the purpose of providing ex-
hibits at the centennial exposition.
a joint resolution was also adopted
authorizing the Governor to invite
all the states of the Union to par
ticipate with Mississippi in the
celebration.
It is not yet known what measure
Of state aid will be asked by the
exposition promoters. The plan
now in view is to open. the exposi-
tino October, 1917, and close in
March 1918. The states birthday
is December 10th. 1917.
Ihe company If capitalized at a
half million dollars. and an effort
to dispose of the stock is soon to be
launched.

Former City Marshal Smylie N.

Ordered that the boundaries of
all other school districts be and are
the same as heretofore except those
affected by the orders of the Board
at this and a former meeting.
Recognizing the necessity for a
better system of schools, and feel
ing that the one-teacher school has
fulfilled its mission and must nec-
essarily give way to better schools,
with better teachers than they can
be afforded by them because of the
demand for higher education, and
the salaries required to employ
teachers who can do such WORK,
We, the School Board of Lincoln
county, hereby urgently request
every person in Lincoln county to
wake up to the situation, and Join
hands with US in the great move
ment for consolidation. because:
First. The one-teacher school is
too expensive.
Second. The work done in them
is necessarily inefficient, because of
the great number of grades requir-
ed to be taught.
Third. The attendance is better
in schools Of two or more teachers.
because of superior advantages
offered.
Fourth. Better teachers can be
secured because better salaries can
be paid.
Therefore be it Resolved. That
unless a majority of the people of
Lincoln county favor the retention
of the one-teacher school. and by
their presence before the said
Board at its next regular annual
meeting enter their protest against
the idea of consolidation, we will
then copmlelte our plan of consoIi-
dation.

afterward that he supposed at the
time that Blue was going out to
the camps of a grading crew or
road working camp and wanted it
to take along for that purpose, not
having the least idea that Blue was
in desperate frame of mind.
SUSPICION IS AROUSED.
Shortly afterward. and while
Mr.. Blue was still in the vicin-
fsy Of the court house. the sheriff
from actions and reports brought
to him had reason to believe that it
was best to get the weapon back
again and requested D. Blue. a
brother of Smylie's. to go to him
and see if he could not recover it.
Before this plan could be carried
out Smylie had left and engaged
Bert Muncy's hack, which he or
dered driven over to Geo. Bowsky's
store.
ATTEMPT TO SHOOT DOL
LAHlTE.
When this point was reached,
Muncy being satisfied that Blue
was not in his ususaI frame of
mind, he called for w. Dollahite,
his brother-in-law, salesman in
BoWsky's store. AS soon as Dolla-
hite appeared and saw who it was.
Muncy motioning to him to go
back, he darted back into the store.
and refused to come out again.
The difference between Dollahite
and Blue seems to have been caused
by the refusal of Dollahite to lend
Blue small amount of money,
which he had been in the custom Of
doing from time to time.
Mr.. DoIlahite made out an
affidavit against Blue Immediately
afterward, charging him with
threatening his life and praying
that Blue be put under a peace
bond.
Satisfied that he could not get
Dollahite out into the street, Blue
ordered Muncy to take him out past
the baseball park in the eastern
part Of town, telling him when he
got out that he had better not
come back for two or three hours.
OFFICERS NOTIFIED.
His parting words were to the
effect that he was going to kill
himself. telling Muncy goodbye.
Muncy. realizing that the matter
was serious. came on back to town
and notified the officers who started
on a hunt for Blue, but before he
could be found. a negro reported
that he had found him with a pis-
fol wound in his side in the woods
just east of the ball park. As
soon as he was reached he was hur-
ried to the sanitarium, where all
medical attention possible was
given him. Mr.. Blue, after his
wound was dressed. stated that the
shot was accidental. his act can
hardly be accounted for by his
best friends as Blue was usually in
anything but a melancholy mood.
