HkVE BOYS ON HAND
TO SHOW OLD TIMERs
Youths Of Mississippi Who Have Made
Corn Club History WIN Gather al
jackson for the Big Fair.

Expressing his eradication at the
announcement that tae mississippi
State Fair at Jackson viii grant addi-
tional space tor the corn palace at the
Fair in October, Prof. G. A. Cobb, In
charge OF Boys Corn Club work in
Mississippi is going ahead and plan
ming for one OF the most extensive
exhibits of this nature ever seen In
the world.
So successful have been the results
Of the work under the direction OF
Prof. Cobb that Mississippi has be-
come the leading State of the South In
this particular. That the marvellous
corn exhibits will be shown to great
advantage during the Fair is cendi-
ton that has alreadT been assured by
the management. A very artistic ar
rangement will be effected ana 1t is
doubtful II granG er corn exhibit has
ever been seen than viii be offered by
Mississippi upon this occasion.
The Fair will begin Monday, October
26, and last week, or until Saturday,
October 81, inclusive, aid during this
time Mississippi lads will stand by
their exhibits, the result of SO much
energy spent during the season, with
pride In the result Of their labor. That
the older folks will learn some good
points concerning the manner of rails
Ing corn proftably and abundantly is
a certainty-that Is, most of them will.
The boys have been making Missis-
sippi agricultural history under the di-
rection Of Prof. Cobb, and will con-
tfnue to do SO.
However, to learn how they have
succeeded and to see their product; to
talk to the boys themselves; that is
the interesting part Of the Fair. Acre

A DAY OF PRAYER.

President Woodrow Wilson, who is
essentially man of peace and whose
aching heart goes out to the thousands
in Europe who have been made to
suffer because of the deadly war now
being waged, has caused to be issued a
proclamation, setting aside Sunday,
October, 4th, as day of prayer, when
the people of this country shall gather
in their homes and places of public
worship and offer prayers calling on
our Creator for restoration Of peace
in the Old World.
Our country is at peace with ali
mankind, and for this state of affairs
we can be thankful for the far-seeing
policy of the President. 1t its to be
hoped that the proclamation of the
President will be met with a hearty re-
sponse all over the country.
The European war is the most disas-
trous the world has ever known. Thous-
ands of men are sacrificing their lives
every day in fighting for their country,
thousands upon thousands of orphans
are being made with the setting of
each days sun, families are being
driven from their homes, while diseases
are claiming the innocent and unpro-
tected.
1t may be that in the opinion OF
Providence this war is deemed necessary
to carry out some secret design for the
betterment Of humanity, but He has
promised that the prayers of his
children shall be heard, and while
America can not take any other steps
to stop the horrible sacrifice Of human
life every one OF its citizens can humbly
beseech the Creator to bring peace to
the warning people of Europe, thereby
expressing our sympathy in their af-
Fiction and demonstrating our readi-
ness to do anything within human
power to bring about peace when the
right moment comes.-Moss Point Ad-
yertiser.

Gulfport, September Among the
valuables now being guarded in the
county jail are large quantities OF beer,
whiskey and wine confiscated in a raid
made Saturday afternoon at Pass Chris
tian on a blind tiger.
Responding to numerous and repeat
ed complaints that A. r. French, head
of a.family of alleged blind tiger opera
tors and the leader himself in that res
pect, was again violating the liquor
laws, Deputy Sheriff Patenotte Satur-
day appeared before Justice of the
Peace C. w. Fulmer and secured q
search warrant for French's place, re-
turnable before Justice Gao. P. Brandt,
of Pass Christian. Mr.. Pltenotte then
delegated Deputies DucEworth, Holder
and Ewing to make the search.
The officers went to French's place
and recovered quantities of beer, wine
and whiskey as follows. Three and
three quarters casks of beer, three un-
opened and the other on ice; twenty
one half pints OF whiskey, under ten
different labels; and a gallon bottle and
quart of wine. These liquors were
confiscated and sent to the county Jail
to be used first as evidence and then tc
be destroyed as things tabooed by the
law.
Saturday, after the raid, a new charge
was lodged against French, keeping IL
quor for sale. He made bond in the
sum of i've hundred dollars to insure
his appearance at the forthcoming tern
OF the grand jury for investigation. In
vestigation at the office OF the circus
clerk developed that during the pas
thirty days French has reeeiAed sever
casks of beer, and that prior to tha
time he received numerous quantities.

A successful benefit entertainment
was given Wednesday night by the chill
dren of the parish of the church of Our
Lady of the Gulf, under the leadership
of Miss V. Gex, for the baptismal
fonnt fund. The entertainment was
given at the Fayard Air Dome, which
was leased for the occasion, and spe-
cial feature of motion pictures, ,"Satan,"
in five reels, was presented. Refresh
ments were served and the affair realiz-
ed some $50, a handsome showing in
deed. The baby doll and trousseau was
captured by Sylvia Seub, daughter of
Henry Seub, who held ticket No. 398.
The attendance was large and gave evi =
dence of how well the people rallied to
the call of the cause and which must
have proven gratifying to the parties
concerned in the work.

DON'T TAKE CALOMEL;;
HERE'SABETTER REMEDY

Taking calomel is mighty risky an
often times dangerous.
You ought to get along without TAX
ing calomel yourself or giving it to
your family, when you can get q rem
edy that takes its place. Dodson's
Liver Tone is an agreeable vegetable
liquid that starts the liver to action just
as surely as calomel does. But, unlike
ealomel, Dodson's Liver Tone does not
stimulate the liver too much. 1t gives
relief gently. Calomel acts so strongly
that it may leave you worse than
you were at first, and calomel also
sometimes cause salvation. Dodson's
Liver Tone works well and neverharms.
A large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone is sold for fifty cents by L. A. de
Montluzin's Sons. 1t always give such
perfect satisfaction that your money
viii be given back to you with a smile
if you buy bottle and are not perfectly
satisfied with it in every way.

Prizes. OF. course, are being offered

prizes being graded SO that most Of
those who have fine exhibits will have
something more than the prices real

something to keap sud to be proud
Of.

hew they did 1t. Their information
will be valuable not oaIy to the other
boys. but to the grewn folks as well.
Their experiences and methods as
taught by Prof. Cobb will be worth

In every way possible. How to plant

boys have discovered Just what kind
Of corn Is the most profitable to the
Mississippi farmer, all things eonsid-
cred, and will have specimens to

An effort is going to be made to put
Mississippi in the front rank of corn
producing States next year The dis
astrous war now wagfng in Europe
will consume all of the grain over
there, and create an unprecedented
demand on America next season. There
will be fortunes made In corn and
wheat and Mississippi's chance is in
corn, as well as in the cid reliable
staple Of cotton.
However, corn is going to be the
safest source while the boil weevf1 re-
mains, and 1t behooves every Missis-
sippi farmer to go to the great educa-
tional State Fair In October and get
some new pointers on crops, especially
diversified crops.

Death of MIR. E. H. Sims.

Last Thursday night at 9 O'Clock
Mr.. Eugene FL. Sims, after sew
eral weeks illness, passed away at
his home in our city.
Water Valley had been his home
since his boyhood, and no one
was known better than Eugene
Sims. 1t was as if his life was an
open book. He was a good citi-
zen-a substantial citizen, and
those who knew him could easily
bear record to this fact.
The prompting of his friend
ships were never hidden, but as
occasion presented, the warm i'm
pulses of his nature we're revealed.
He was a staunch and Jealous
mem Der of the Presbyterian church
and when duty called he was ever
ready to respond.
When he knew the time had
come for him to go, he gave ex
preston to utterance that proved
death had no terrors for him. He
was wholly prepared for the
transition.
A good man has gone from our
midst.
He leaves fond and devoted
wife to mourn his death, who has
the deepest sympathy of our peo-
pie in her great bereavement.

the grave Friday afternoon at $3.50

AnAcquittal andaConviction
By WILLIAM CHANDLER

When my uncle Charles Dmgley was found dead one morning in his bed l as his nearest male relative was at once summoned 1 went to his room, which had been left untouched in ey- cry particular. and by the bed on which the body lay found bottle about two inches high and one inch squar.. around the four sides of which was pasted Il ahel with the usual Poison" warning printed on it.
 There was nothing in my uncle's af- fairs to indicate that he had had any intention Of committing suicide. He had not been very well for few days, but there waS nothing serious the mat ter with him. He might have been murdered aud the bottle placed ut his side to give the impression that he had taken poison There were no marks on the body to indicate that he had been murdered.
 The establishment of the facts in the case did not appeal to me. My uncle was dead. and whether he had been murdered or murdered himself made little difference to me, To put detectives on the case would cost mon- ey, but who would be the gainer? The authorities came to the house, made perfunctory examination of the body and its surroundings and reported that the deceased had come to his death by means of poison administered by him. self.

 That fact indicated that the tumbler had come from the pantry. Dishes containing different kinds of food mostly left over-were in the closet, one of them being q saucer of presery- ed peaches It had apparently been knocked over, and a little of the juice had been spilled on the floor. It oc- cured to me that whoever had taken down the tumbler from the shelf had done so in the dark and had put his hand against the dish of peach pre- serves

 Fate decided, however, that it should be unraveled. or, rather, 1t should come out that there was no mystery at all. was engaged to girl who had discarded former lover. Herman Goodsel hated me and brought about a suspicion that I had murdered my uncle. But this did not occur until my uncle had been buried. The will when opened disclosed the fact that my uncle had left q lot of money and every cent of it to me. Then our enc my began 10 get in his fine work, whispering here and there, till the po- lice felt obliged to take cognizance Of the reports and arrested nae for mur- der.
 The first thing did was to engage an attorney and through him obtain the exhumatiOn of the body for the purpose of having the finger prints taken. This was done. Then l had the tumbler that had stood by my un- cle's bed examined with a microscope. A faint yellow substance was found on 1t, which contained finger print. By treating the label of the poison bottle chemically a very clear finger print was obtained.
 I had no idea how the accusation against me had started until my tiancee told me that she had probed the matter and traced q beginning to her former lover This put me on my mette to thwart him. and named him as one of my witnesses to be subpoenaed for my trial. gave my lawyer list or questions to ask him, most of which had been furnished me by my sweet heart. When the case was called he was one of the first witnesses to take the stand, and my attorney soon show ed maleyolence on his part in this: That he had gone about spreading the reports that had murdered my uncle. This had nothing to do with the case. but was intended for revenge.
 When my real defense came up my attorney made short work of the mat ter. He had the tumbler and the label of the poison bottle in court, copies or the finger prints on them and finger print of my uncle's thumb and two forefnger tips. They tallied exactly.
 GOodsell was in court when l receiV- ed my vindication. Under my instruc- tion he received tongue flashing that he was not likely to forget My adyo- cate showed how little evidence there had been against me, how 1t had been worked up by GoodSell and his reasons for having started the suspicious against me which had led to needless and expensive trial. Goodsell cringed under it. Indeed. my acquittal was his conviction. When my counsel had
