MISSION BOARD
IN SESSION here
DR.. MOORE OPENS CONFERENCE
AND EMPHASIZES AMERICA
WORLD POWER.
BISHOP MURRAH SPEAKS TONIGHT
Distinguished Divine Will Lecture On
impressions of the orient"-Large
Crowd of Mission Workers Attend
Meeting.

The mid-year meeting of the Mis-
sion Conference Board of Missions
has called together quite a number of
distinguished ministers of the Meth
odist church, who are holding sessions
at the Court Street Methodist church.
At this mornings session of the
conference an able address was de-
livered by DR.. John NJ. Moore, secre-
tary of the Home Mission Department
of the General Board of Missions of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, before a large audience.
DR.. Moore based his remarks upon the
text of scripture which says: Right
eousness exalteth a nation, but sin
{ is reproach to any people" He
spoke very optimistically of the Uni
ted States of America and compared
this nation to that of ancient Israel
in so far as its influence upon the
other nations and their regard for its
ideal are concerned.
Look To America.
, He said that the people of the Orient
are looking to America for their
standards in government, religion,
education and finance, as we'll as for
leadership in these departments of
their civil life.
This position in the esteem of the
world places upon the churches OF
America the delay of maintaining the
highest possible ideals by keeping
aloft the blood-stained banner of the
cross and intoxicating the principles
of the Christ life.

LAWYER a.. HAMMOND ALLEGES
FALSE IMPRISONMENT AND
OTHER WRONGS.
NOfHlNG TO 1T" SAYS JURIST
Cites Letter Written by Hammond to
Chairman of the Investigating Com.
mlttee, in Which Complainant States
Judge Did Him no Wrong.

Suit for 100000 damages has been
hled in the circuit court of this county
against Judge Paul B. Johnson by
A. A. Hammond, the former Heidel-
berg attorney whose case of disbar-
ment and alleged false Imprisonment
by Judge Johnson formed one of the
specifications in the bill of particu-
lars lodged against that jurist prior
to the legislative inquiry which re-
suited in his vindication last Septem-
Der. Bedford, Allen and Bedford are
attorneys for Hammond.
The declaration is lengthy and re-
cit,s the plaintiffs alleged history of
the case which led up to the imposi-
ton of a fine and prison sentence
upon him by Judge Johnson, following
the filing of suit for $4,000 by Ham
mond against Judge Johnson and
Sheriff Louie Hill because one Frank
johnson had been sent to Jail to await
the action of the Jasper county grand
jury, wien on the stand as a defen-
dant's witness in a case Hammond was
defending, testified that he had num-
Der of years before run out of town
some witnesses to a murder to keep
them from testifying for the state.
1t is alleged that though Judge John
son had suspended sentence of both
fine and Imprisonment after Hammond
had remained in Jail at Laurel for two
days, he was kept in such fear of the
sentence that he was thereby pre-
vented from moving to Laurel where
it had been his purpose to take up the
practice of law. 1t is also alleged
that after the suspension of sentence
upon condition of good behavior, that
the plaintiff had been notified by
Judge Johnson that while he remain
ed on the bench in this district he
would not allow Hammond to practice
before his court.
These restrictions, the plaintiff al
leges, necessitated his withdrawal
from several suits pending in the court
and one of these, he says, was dam
age suit for $4,000, all of which it is
claimed, caused the plaintiff consider
able loss. Added to the pecuniary
loss alleged are humiliation, mental an
gush, loss of esteem among the peo-
ple of the district and misunderstood
ing by friends from the wide circulation
of the reports of the case, many OF
which, it is alleged were misrepresen'
tations of fact. ...-. ..- .......-. OIL
After he had read the charges
Judge Johnson said there was
nothing to it except a political
move on the part of some one who
had in some way prevailed on Ham
mond to bring the suit for political
effect only. He directed attention
TO a letter from Hammond to the
Chairman of the Legislative Investi
eating Committee in which Hammond
said that he did not care to appear
before that committee as he had con
sidered the matter and was convinced
\ that Judge Johnson had done him nc
wrong, or other words to that purport
This letter was read into the record
by Chairman Anderson during the in
yestigation in this city last September

COMMERCIAL CLUB INsTRucTs
COMMUTE TO WORK OUT
COOPERATIVE SCHEME
BUSINESS men ENDORSE idea
Agree that Advantages Of Hattiesburu
Must be Spread Before the World
Members Complain that Club is Do
ing Nothing.

A systematic campaign to advertise
Hattiesburg and brings in new busi-
ness is to be inaugurated by the Com
mercial Club.
Advertising, it's importance to the
city as well as to the individual. and
Hattiesburg's failure to advertise
enough. was the subject that occupied
practically all the attention of the
Commercial Club at its meeting last
night, and the members present seem
ed unanimous in their opinion that
some sort of advertising campaign
should be started.
The Publicity Committee finally was
instructed to work out scheme appli-
cable to this city and submit it to the
club.
The discussion was started by R. d.
Moore, freight and passenger agent Of
the Mississippi Central, who called the
clubs attention to a scheme that II

HARVESTING SOY BEANS.

When Grown For Hay They Should 30
Cut When Pods Are Forming.
Prepared by University OF Wisconsin
agricultural experiment station.l
Soy beans grown for hay should be
cut when the pods are forming and
before the plant begins to drop its
leaves. If delayed too long the lower
leaves may drop of and thus the most
valuable part Of the plant be lost. The
stems also become woody and conse.
quently less palatable to stock. It is
preferable to cut early rather than too
late.
The crop may be cut with an ordi-
nary mower. The beans should be cut
early in the morning after the dew is
off or late in the afternoon. If cut
in the morning they may be allowed
to wilt until late in the afternoon. Of
the same day and then put up in small
cocks. This work is often done by
hand. us the leaves fall off readily. A
horse ruke. however. may be USED

BARNARD MANURE.

Value Of an Important Manuriai Re-
source Which Should BE Saved.
Prepared by United States department
Of agricultural
Barnyard manure is the most impor.
tant manurial resourc Of the farm and
should be carefully saved and used. It
not only enriches the soil with nitro.
gen, phosphoric acid and potash, but It
also renders the stored up materials OF
the soil more available. improves the
mechanical condition Of the soil, makes
it warmer and enables it to retain more
moisture.
On the basis Of prices charged for
commercial fertilizers. the average
value Of the manure annually produced
by each horse or mule Is $27, by each
head Of cattle $40, by each hog SIP and
by each sheep 50. Probably less than
half these values are actually realized
in practice. It Should be stated, how.
ever. that this methodsof estimating the
value Of manure Is often misleading.

sITUATION
IS

Claims have been made for several
days that the Russians have repulsed
the Austrians and Germans in the
eastern theater Of the wal.
The.big armies Of the Allies and
Germans have been fighting desper-
ately for 20 days in France and the
fact that the Kaiser's forces have
barely held their own leads experts
to believe that they will naturally be
forced to retreat very soon.
The screen Of secrecy erected by
the censorship almost entirely across
northern France, behind which. the
military craftsmen for the last three
weeks have been fashioning the
rough outlines Of a new map Of the
eastern hemisphere, stands today al
most tnimpaired. It has, however,
judging from indications in London,
been pierced here and there, with
holes which permit some inkling Of
2 events happening on n stage be-
hind.
From what can be deducted from
these fragmentary glimpses, there
would appear justification or optim-
ism on the part of the allies.

munication was issued this afternoon:

has high feeding value, about equal to
alfalfa If we'll cured: hence the i'm
p~ortance Of handling the crop properly
so as to retain the leaves.
This, in common with alfalfa, pea,
clover and other leguminous hays,
should not be put up in unprotected
stacks. If necessary to stack cover
the top and sides with rcuvas or
boards. The best place to sore is in
the closed NOW or barn. 1t ahould be
handled as little as possible -fter u
ing, for there is danger 4 handled
careIessly of losing the leaves.
Soy beans intended for seed should
be allowed to ripen well and may be
cut with scythe, mower or bean har-
vester. Some harvest the crop with
grain binder and others with corn har-
vester. Both of these machines. how
ever, shatter the beans and cause con-
siderable loss.
When cut with a mower without
windrowing attachment the plants
should be removed at every round out
Of the way of. the horses, for If tram
pied upon a large percentage Of the
seed will be shelled out and wasted.
After cutting the beans are allowed to
cure in windows or bundles and are
hauled in as soon as dry.
Provided the regular grain concaves
are removed from the machine and
blank concaves used in their place. soy
beans may be thrashed without much
injury with the ordinary thrasher. The
thrasher cylinder should be run at less
speed than when thrashing grains,
while the separator should be run at the
usual rate Of speed. To accomplish this
a larger drive belt pulley is used and a
correspondingly larger pulley IN the
opposite end of the climber.
The beans should be stored in bar.
floor. where from time to time they can
be shoveled over until they are thor
oughly dry and hard. Later they may
be safely stored more compactly.
The dry beans will keep nicely for
several years when not exposed to the
elements. They can be fed whole to
pigs and sheep, but for general use It is
preferable to crack or. grind them.
Tests have shown that it is often
necessary to' mix the beans with corn
or peas to grind them into meal, as the
beans are too soft to granulate well
alone. Too large quantities should nor
be ground at a time. as the high oil
content will cause the meal to heat and
turn rancid. making it unfit for feed.

Summer spoiIase Of Eggs.

Why work and worry raising chicks.
feed them all winter and then let half
the eggs spoil during the hot summer
months? Last year in the warmer por-
tons. Of the country almost half the
eggs leaving the farm were unfit for
food. This was in addition to the large
item of the eggs lost and spoiled out
right by the hens laying in the weeds
and grass and in inaccessible places.
Chanticleer is responsible for a large
percentage Of this loss. Fertile eggs
begin to incubate at once in hot

can be reduced at least rs per cent by
promptly getting rid Of the ROSTERS as
soon as batching eggs are no longer

FOLLOWING OUT PLAN FOR I'M
PRoVEMENT OF CITY SQUARES

Mayor Greenhut said yesterday that
| beautiful dogwood trees in a short
time, and info. nation from Mr.. KEN
, BILE, the city's landscape gardener, that
| trees were easily procurabIe very close
| them himself, was gladly received by
! the mayor, and Mr. Kemble will go to
| F1oridatown very soon and himself
select such trees as he deems suitable
Mayor Greenhut yesterday that dog
wood trees are plentiful in the Florida
town vicinity and that within the next
ten days, he would be at liberty him
self to make a trip UP there and Sc
cure SUPPLY for experimental plant
ing.
The mayor was very much gratified
at the manner in which his efforts at
park improvement have been received
by the people. In the Improvement of
Grenada square, he said, the work cost
little more than had at fl st Ceen
figured, but there was no regretting
the amount spent, because il was ap-
preciated by the people highly. In
the work at Malaga square, however.
but a single protest was received, and
that was because the trees were being
trimmed too high up the mayor was
told. Outside of that slight protest
however, all others in that part Of the
city are well pleased.
Mayor Greenhut said yesterday that
Georgia square, on Palafox hill would
be the next one worked on, with a
view of improving conditions there.
Other squares will be given attention
just as rapidly and as freely as times
and funds would permit.
