Prof. n. P. Todd Withdrsws from
WhitwOrth.

At the late commencement of
Whitworth College. Prof. H P
Todd was announced the elected
and accepted Vice President of the
Institution, it being understood his
duties We're to take the field in
Whitworth's interest.
Last week a dispatch headed
Todd Stays at Stanton" in one Of
the Jackson papers, attracted at
tention of Brookhaven readers
This announcement reminded some
of them that Mr. Todd had been
elected to the Whitworth College
faculty three different times-a at
one time was rendered a reception
by Pres and Mrs.. Cooper in honor
of the event-and each time has
withdrawn from his contract. A
bonus has always been the in
ducement satisfactory to Mr.. Todd
for a change of mind.
Now, if Mr.. Todd can succeed in
staying at Stanton" or anywhere,
he ought not to mar his achieves
ment by feigned attempts at get
ting away, heralded by big head.
l.Iine dispatches in the newspapers
which attach more Importance to
where Mr. Todd is than the cir.
cumstances demand.
An agent is in the field for Whit.
worth and the Todd incident ii
closed for the third and it is hoped
the last time.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1914-06-10

and the present Chancellor of the
Fifth Chancery District of Mississ-
ippi, as a candidate for Congress

Walthall and Copiah. and bespeaks
for his candidacy, the careful con-
sideration of the voters The
record made by Chancellor Jones
during his brief tenure of office as
Chancellor of this district, has
demonstrated the fact that he is a
man of a well-poised, Judicial
mind, careful, painstaking and
conscientious in all of his rulings
and decisions upon the bench, and
fearless and unimpeachable in his
adherence to the right as he sees it,
regardless of criticism. In our
opinion such characteristics are the
paramount prerequisites in these
"troublous times" in the man the
voters should elect to our highest
Iaw-making body.
The Leader here deems it but a
lifting tribute to the life of Judge
P. z Jones, to call the attention of
the voters of the district at this
time, to a brief sketch of his as
cension from the ranks to the hon.
orable position of Chancellor of the
Fifth Chancery District of our
State.
