Fifth Annual Session of the |. C. B.
S. S. Convention.

The fifth annual session of the
Lincoln County Baptist Sunday
School Convention was held with
the Plearlhaven Baptist Sunday
School on Sept. 5 and 6. at which
time much interest and enthusiasm
was manifested IN this great work;
and to say that it is destined to re-
suit in the accomplishment of much
good is only giving expression to
the feelings of all who attended
aud listened to the excellent pro.
gram rendered.
Written repJrts were received
from 20 of the Sunday Schools of
the Convention showing an enroll
ment of 1915 pupils aud an aver.
age attendance of 1000 along with
l0l officers and l4l teachers.
These schools report $233. 80 given
for Missions and Sl24. 20 to the Or.
phanages. The reports of many of
the Sunday Schools were not COM
pIete and many did not report at
all and the above statistical facts
just merely serve to show some
thing of the excellent work being
done for the Cause of Christ in the
world through the medium of the
Sunday School channel.
Officers for another year were
reelected as follows:
l.. S. Montgomery, President
Ray L. Brown. 5ecy.
The Executive Committee is com.
posed of P. 2 Jones, of Beat 1, w.
P. Smith, Beat 2. Felix Kyzar,
Beat 3. Miss Rhoda Brown, Beat 4.
and Lawrence E. Smith, Beat 5.
The 1st. Saturday and Sunday in
next September is the time OF
meeting and from a number of in
vitations of various Sunday Schools,
the Convention decided in favor of
Clear Branch as the next place of
meeting.

COPIAH,LINCOLA SCHOOL BOARDS
AGREE ON THE JOINT SCHOOL

The School Boards of Lincoln and
Gopiah counties met at Wesson
Tuesday, and accepted Wesson's
bid for the location of the joint
Agricu tural High School. The
bid, IN brief, was to furnish the
school building, modern dormi-
tory and at least go acres of land
The citizens Of Wesson had planned
to donate the town school build
ing, which is substantial brick
structure; but there were found to
be legal obstacles to this. and SO it
was agreed to erect new struct-
ure. A levy Of Ia mill will be
asked from both the Copiah and
Lincoln county boards Of super
visors. AS we understand the law,
it is mandatory on the Boards to
make a levy sufficient to support
the school The levy cannot be
over 2 mills any year, and is fixed
by the Board of Trustees IL 20
per cent Of the registered voters
petition against the levy, then an
l.electino must be held, and the ma
ljority rules. The Courier favors
the joint agricultural school; but
| it is thought only fair to point out
to the tax payers that they can
have the controlling voice in the
matter. if 20 per cent Of them sign
a petition against the levy. - HazIe-
hurst Courier.

-AETTLES PICKS HIS WAY
OUT OF THE COUNTY JAIL

Edgar White Nettles a white
man held here in the county Jail
for minor offenses picked the lock
at 300 O'Clock Sunday afternoon
and escaped through the kitchen of
Mr.. j. W Mcbride, the jailer.
Nettles was arrested last Friday
and was being held pending bis re-
turn to Franklin County for trial,
Sunday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
John Montgomery carried a visitor
in the Jail and as he came out of
Nettles' cell and started down stairs
Nettles called to him to let him see
the keys. Mr.. Montgomery just
held them up, and Nettles said,
Thanks. we will be out of here
tonight" and Mr.. Montgomery
smiled and passed on.
About one hour after Mr.. Mont
gomery had gone. Nettles. with
coal scuttIe bail and a piece of
wire. managed to work the lock
back and make his getaway.
Mrs. Mcbride, the jailer's wife,
seeing Nettles run through the
kitchen, ran in and halted the other
prisoners on the stairs. then called
for help. Her husband and Mr..
Edward Smith. who were at the
court house, heard her cries and
ran over. They put the other
prisoners back and then began the
search for the tools that NettIes
had used. They had been hidden
under bed.
Nettles is stiIl at large at the
present writing.

Six thousand head OF live stock
were killed by the railroad trains
belonging to the Illinois Central
system IN 1913. OF this number
seventy-four per cent were killed
in Mississippi. while only 28 per
cent of this railroads trackage is
in Mississippi. This is a bad
showing and while blame is laid to
negligence in keeping gates to
pastures that lead to the railroads

The JUDGES CHARGE.

The Judge stated that this is
two terms merged into one and
because of the volume of business
he believed in a short charge and
in getting right down to business.
The jury were instructed to inves-
tigate all the ordinary crimes.
IF there is any one thing that
causes more suffering and misery
than any other-the terrible war
in the East excepted-it is the liq-
uor habit" /" stated His Honor.
Pistol carrying and gambling
were committed to the jury. Lo-
cal officers can do more than all the
rest of US in suppressing gambling
and they should be made to do

principle, all lawyers are officers
of the court and when absent and

Trust Company failure from top
to bottom. If any officer of that
bank swore to any false statement
of the banks business. the jury
was Instructed to indict If de-
posits were received by the officers
knowing the bank was ipsolvent
you are instructed to indict such
officers" said the Judge. In this
connection the Judge stated that,
as he promised before the primary,
if any indictments grow out of
this Bank business, Re would re-
cuse himself and let another Judge
try the cases if either the State or
those indicted requested him to SO
recuse himself.
Investigate the business of the
county officers and see to it that
road contractes do their duty and
the county's funds expended judic-
tally. The condition uf the Jail,
the court house and the poor house
should be examined"
The Judge believes in economy
in running the court and in giving
a full and fair hearing to every
case. The two ends can be ac-
complished together. Many cases
will come before the Grand Jury
that ought to be referred to JUS
tees Of the peace and then if they
neglect to do their duty they ought
to be indicted and put out of Of
fee. The object sought is to get
rid of petty misdemeanors in the
justice court and to try the more
important cases in the Circuit
Court.
The justices of the peace were
instructed to try the cases and not
try affidavits and pleadings, not
to let lawyers and others buIldoze
you into dlsmissing cases because
of defeats in affidavits Make
amendments to all pleadlngs and
let sases be disposed of on their
merits.
