SUCCESS OF HIS BILL
Openly Calls Attention to Commits
sioner Of Indian Affairs to Individu.
ais Who Contract With People to
Press Their CIaims-tiard Fight, He
Says.

Washington, June 27.-Congressman
Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, who has
championed the bill now pending in
Congress to have the Indian rolls re-
opened SO the Mississippi Choctaws
might be enrolled, and on which bill
hearings are being held here daily be-
fore the Indian Affair Committee of
the mouse, has called the attention of
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
to the operations of certain parties
who have been for several months and
are now taking contracts for people,
who claim to be Mississippi Choctaws,
in the states of Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas.
In an interview given to the press,
Mr. Harrison explained that he did not
know whether these parties had vio-
lated the law in this respect, but he
contends that the practice is wrong
in principle and expressed the hope
that these claimants would not further
encourage the practice by giving
money to any person taking such con
tracts.
81 have denounced the practice o.
every person who accepts money from
any person for representing them a.
an agent or attorney in the matter o
presenting the claims of the Missis
sippi Choctaws to the department
here" said Mr.. Harrison.
) Under the law today the triba
rolls are closed and unless the bill
have introduced in Congress, or some
other bill that has like purposes, be
comes law the rolls will remain CLOSED
and no person, no matter how perfec
his claim may be as a Mississippi Choc
!, taw. can be enrolled.
"The claims of the Mississippi Choc
taws are just and right and shoult
prevail. but the fight has been a hare
: one and the success of the cause Il
doubtful. II these people who claim
y 10 nave rights as MISSISSIPPI CnOctaW!
= want to employ an agent or attorney
, which, in my opinion. is unnecessary
, at least until the passage of the bill
!, then that is a matter of their owl
judgment, but certainly no agent or al
torney ought to exact money from
these people in addition to a contrac
guaranteeing a contingent fee. Furth
ermore, If this bill passes all claimant
vii! be allowed ample time in whicl
to present their claims"
Mr.. Harrison said that such practice
were not only questionable, but tha
they were giving the opponents of hi
bill an effective weapon and jeopardi7
ing the success of the bill.

ON CHARGE THAT COERCION
WAS USED IN INDICTMENT.
(By Associated Press.)

Jackson, Miss, June 27.-The en-.
jury, from which body the indictment
was returned charging Lieut.. Governor
Bilbo with bribery, has been sum-
moned to Jackson to give testimony
on an affidavit to the effect that Dis
trict Attorney J. D. Thames used CO.
ercion and intimidation in prosecut-
ing the indictment.
The defense has entered a motion
to quash the indictment, basing their
action on an affidavit signed by P. A.
Tuvargosky, a member of the grand
jury, who charges that the district at
torney brought pressure to bear on
the jury to have the indictment re
turned.
The motion was argued at length
this morning, after which Judge Tea
ruled that he would hear evidence OF
the charges.
Both state and defense then aske,
that the entire grand jury panel b,
summoned as witnesses.
In addition the defense asked TO
subpoenas for Governor Brewer an
R. N. Miller, an attorney of Haze
hurst.
Counsel for Bilbo stated that the
would try to show by Miller that Dii
trict Attorney Thames acted under tn
direction of Governor Brewer in pro-
ecuting the indictment.
No attempt was made today to con
plete the jury panel.

CALAMITY AVERTED

Our neighbor The TazewelI
Republican had Something on
its mind before Christmas re.
garding its pet, The Panic, but
withheld the secret.
1t says: During the holiday
season the Republican refrained
from commenting on the deplor-
able industrial condition of our
country. as it was the wish of
the paper, that all feel as happy
as possible during the festal sea
son, and for the time forget the
blunder of 1912"
We feel sure that the Board
of Trade of Tazewell and the
entire county and state, are due
the Tazewell Republican a vote
of thanks. Had it sprung its
doteful wall on the country
earlier there might have been no
Christmas festivities at all, and
a gloom and shadow would have
hung over the entire South.

bushels can be made, and not

This may sound "big" to some
people, but the writer shows
conclusively exactly how it can
be done. Every acre of corn
cultivated should make not less
than SO bushels, and no land
should be cultivated in corn.

ENABLING ACT WILL PASS

There seems to be lit lie doubt
in the minds of those who
should know, that the enabling
act will pass a this session of the
General Assembly. Press dis
patches state that the narrow
margin by which the bill lost
out two years ago, has been
entirely wiped out, and safe
majority is now counted on.
Several districts that were wet
two years ago, and which sent
wet senators to Richmond,
have since voted dry, besides,
there has been a decided growth
in public sentiment in its favor.
The Enabling Act only gives
the people the right to say
whether or not there shall be
held Il Statewide Prohibition
election. 1t does not establish
prohibition, as some people seem
to think, but only declares that
an election may be held to deter
nine whether or not a State
wide may be held.
Whether or not the people
want Statewide Prohibition
election remains to be seen.
This bill only covers this
Question. If the vote is in favor
of a Statewide Prohibition cam
paign such an election will be
ordered, and ten there will be
a campaign and election for or
against, Statewide Prohibition.
The conviction is widespread
and strong in the State, that
given the opportunity Statewide
prohibition will carry easily.
Thousands will vote for it be-
cause they believe it the right
thing to do. Thousands also will
vote for it only that it NAV be
tried out and the question settled.
The campaign for Statewide
will be Il lively one and hard
fought on both sides.

KEEPING THE FARM AT
HOME.

The Southern Farm journal
has a striking article in January
LIST, issue on keeping the land
at home, and shows that in the
hill country the obstruction to
farms by washing goes ceaslesslv
on from year to year. Several
valuable Tazewell farms are now
lying at the bottom of the Ohio
and Mississippi and other great
rivers, washed there by the
floods. This is one way thous-
ards of farms are being injured
every year. First, a little drain,
then a little gully, and SO it
goes. After while that little
gully is five or ten feet deep, bio.
enough to bury a horse in. ThIs
great vase and injury can be
avoided and stopped, and the
how can be easily learned bv
any one who wishes to know.
There is another method or
way Of losing the farm, by send
ing it away. We see frequent
illustrations from our window
daily. Here go by wagons
loaded with baled hay and straw,
shipping it away, selling it off
the farm. Every load of such
products represents so much soil
fertility extracted from thefarm.
Taking off and putting nothing
back impoverishes the farm.
But the farmer must sell some
thing" of course. But woulc
not it be better to feed the pro-
ducts of the farm to calves,
cattle or hogs get back large
percentage of the feed in
manures, and return this to the
lana? There ought to be
society for the prevention OF
cruelty to the land. Your lane
~ worth so much per acre. TRY
to Keep it at home.
