The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1914-06-20
's5Q,OOO IN OUR OFFICE
In Course Of Business The Leader
Handled That Sum Of Money
on Thursday.

The Leader Office enjoyed an in
crease of value to the tune of
$50, 10000 all in a moment Thurs
day morning and held its own on
the market with due gravity for
over an hour. When its sudden
and unexpected expansion in value
did collapse. though, at the end Of
that time. it went with dull thud,
so TO speak. The $4,000 went out
all at once-the same way it had
come in, but. in a different shape.
There was larger number Of bills
when the slump came and the
sheets we're cut. than there was be-
fore but the total value was the
same, Messrs. Bull and Kees accom-
paning the package of about half
bushel Of brand new $5, $40 and
$50 bills to our place of business
The amount named was issued to
the First National Bank of Brook
haven few weeks ago, and came,
90 1%A O0uh uUtCc w 1IOul buG RUV-
ernTnent. IN four separate notes on
each sheet. Each separate bill has
now, been signed by President S. C.
Bull and Cashier g. j. Kees, of
the Bank. After this was done all
that was lacking to put the money
10 regular tender shape was to have
it cut apart That was the reason
that it was brought to The Leader
Office, where the work was done
speedily on our big machine, the
paper cutter. the capacity of which
was not taxed since it can cut
through a solid block of paper. 26
inches wide and five inches thick in
q few seconds time; and the cutter
is no respecter of the value of the
paper it cuts.
These bills are being circulated
all over the county, State and
country. and The Leader trusts
that some of them will find their
way back to its place Of business in
due course of time.

l.. INCREASE IN VALUE OF
CATTLE SINCE TICK ERADI-
CATION BEGAN IN 1906.

Some replies expressed the in
crease in percentage, but the bulk
of them gave the increase in none
tary value per head. Upon aver
aging these for each State, the
sums varied from $7.70 per head
for Alabama, to SIS per head for
California, and the weighted aver
age for the IL States is $9.76 per
head.

The owners Of dairy cows In the

the work since 95 per cent Of the
replies admit that there was an in
crease. usually very substantial in
the yield of milk. The lowest es-
Inmates were from Alabama and
Georgia these two States averaging
is per cent increase in each while
the highest average 25 per cent
increase was from North Carolina
closely followed however BY "a per

States is % per cent which is a
gain Of nearly one-fourth in the
total yield
1t Is easy to see what a great ad-
vantage this would be IL it could
be applied to all the ticky cows in
the South. The additional milk
would in the aggregate be worth
many millions of dollars.

ANNUAL LOSSES BEFORE
TICK ERADICATION.


There is practical unanimity in
stating that considerable losses
were caused by Texas fever before
the inauguration of the tick work
The figures range from 8 per cent
in Georgia to Is per cent in Miss.

the average for the II States is 1S
per cent. This is a trifie over one
eighth of the total cattle.
1t requires but little imagination
to see what a serious handicap tt
the cattle industry of the South ar
annual loss of this magnitude must
be. Some idea of its extent may
be had by taking the census figures
for cattle in 1910. According tC
these there were in round numbers

CORN PLANTING
HAS COMMENCED
SEVERAL FARMERS ARE BUSY
WITH GREAT STAPLE CROP
OF THE COUNTY.

Corn planting, in spite of the fact
that spring is still lingering in the
LAP of winter" has already commenc-
ed in Maury county. Senator j. w. C.
Church, one of the largest and most
successful farmers of the county,
commenced planting corn on Wednes-
day and before the end of the week
he expects to have thirty acres of
the great staple in the ground. A
number of others are planting or will
plant, if the weather permits, at an
early date. Senator Church declared
this morning that he has found from
an experience of more than a half a
century as a farmer that the early
planted corn made the best yields
taking the record as a whole. There
are, however, farmers that will not
agree on this matter, and it is sell
dom that they do on anything, and
they will wait until the latter part of
next month to plant. There are still
others who will wait till May. In fact
there are a number of successful
farmers who will not plant corn be-
fore May l to 10 regardless of the
weather.

The cabinet has framed a general
statement of the officers position and
duty under the law, and Col. Seely
freely admitted that his error was in
yielding to Gen. Coughs demand for
a written assurance that the army
would not be used to suppress the COW
enanters.
Premier Asquith's statements that
the officers should return to duty I'M
conditionally it is declared were made
in good faith, since he learned of Col.
Seely's amendments to the cabinet
memorandum only yesterday after
noon. The prime minister made
plain to the house of commons the
governments position regarding the
army declaring he would not assent
to the claim of any body of men in
the service of the crown to demand
assurances of what they would be re-
quired to do in circumstances which
had not arisen.
Sir Edward Grey spoke even more
strongly. He said:
THE government is prepared to
use force to whatever extent is re-
quired to make the will of the coun-
try prevail That is a contingency
which cannot arise for a long time,
and we will labor to avoid it."

ARMY MUST EITHER ACCEPT

LOS ANGELES, March 25.-Amica-

have terminated. Morris Rose, lead
er Of the l. w. W., after counting the
collections taken up at the two mass
meetings held by his men in the Plaza
today, announced that he would go
before the city council and ask for
$4,000 to finance the march of 1900
men some 500 mile north to Sacrament
to. The total collections of the army
today and yesterday amounted to
$11.50. Charles Sebastian, chief of
police, thereupon visited the camp,
and announced that the men there
would be offered work and If they did
not accept they would be driven from
the city regardless of the treaty of
peace negotiated last week.
