Circuit Court In Session.

At the opening Of the Court Thurs
day morning Judge Henry excelled
himself in his charge to the grand
Jury, clearly defining the duties which
the grand jury had upon them in in
yestigating all crime and the violation
Of the law Of any kind, and especially
in regards TO the violation Of the law
IN regard 10 cattle dealers and butch
ers. The law is quite plain about this
matter and II enforced would be Of
much help to officers in doing their
duey and a protection to the cattle
owners. The whisky violators came in
for a share Of condemnation and the
officers were admonished to see that
the violators Of this law we're brought
20 justice. The worst and most per-
niceous form Of violations Of the law
is the secret selling Of cocaine, which
is being used to an alarming extent
and especially among the colored peo-
| pie.
He also urged upon them to not let
feeling prompt them either in bring
ing in or suppressing an indictment,
but to do their duty as they saw it.
The grand jury is composed Of the fol-
lowing representative citizens Of the
county: W. W. eagle, J. W. Campbell,
J. W. Walker, +. A Kilebrew, j. j.
Martin, +. l.. Stubblefeld, d. A. Will
liams, c. M. Broadway, s. X. Dun
can, A. l.. Shackleford, Geo. Saxton,
W. w. Shelly, X. V. Pepper, S. X.
Manor, Battail Noble, +. A. Warren,
w. A. Davis, T. f Cartwright, c. c.
Bulrks, ]. r. Coker. Mr.. j. r. Coker
was unanimously elected foreman with
Mr.. +. c. Wilson bailif.
The most important suit which has
been decided was the p. C. Mitchell
sui IN WHICH NtIulCJ lOE PlOiDUV
was given Mr.. Mitchell for injuries
received in n wreck on the Y. & M. v.
Railroad while a passenger. At first
Mr.. Mitchell thought he was only
slightly bruised, but in few days it
developed that he had received a more
severe hut than was thought as the
limb began to give serious trouble. Mr..
Mitchell was carried to Memphis and
an X-ray picture taken which showed
that his hip was fractured and in the
healing it caused the limb to be two
inches shorter than II formerly was.
To say nothing Of the suffering and
loss OF time which he sustained. Mr..
Mitchell was represented by Barbour
g. Henry and the railroad by Barnett
4 Perrin, Special Judge L. M. Burch
presiding, Judge Henry being dis
qualified by reason Of his relation to
BarborE & Henry.

Jackson, Miss, Oct 10, 1914.
Editor Herald: In the Clarion
Ledger Of Oct. Ia, there was n letter
addressed to the people Of Mississippi
and signed by Walter Clark, in which
he advocates Legislation to prohibit
the farmers from raising cotton next
year.
Will you kindly permit me to ask
n few questions through the columns
Of your paper for Mr.. Calrk or some
other gentleman to explain, for the
information Of the farmers, Of which
] am one?
Questions for Information.
II they can prohibit the FARMER
from raising cotton by legislation, can
they not prohibit him from raising any
other product Of the soil1
II this can be done by law, why can
they not compel the cotton manufac-
turers to buy the present cotton crop
at living price to the farmer, and
also, COMPEL them to put some Of the
millions Of idle laborers 10 work in the
factories making this cotton into
clothing and selling II at cost for the
benefit Of the half-clothed millions Of
this country?
Mr.. Clark also admits n prominent
fact, not generally understood, when
he said "The Constitution never yet
stood between friends" For example !
Take the case Of Mississippi versus
the Kinds Lumber Co., wherein the
State Supreme Court decided the
statutes limiting land holding in the
State to DO UNCONSTITUTIONAL
in the case Of the Kinds Lumber Co.,
but CONSTITUTIONAL against citi-
Eens Of the State.
Mr.. Clark also urges the people to
hold meetings at 10 =. m. On the. goth
TO sign petitions to the Governor. re-
questinx Him 10 call a special session
Of the legislature TO pass this proh-
bitive legislation. II I remember cor.
reetly, the Governor published a state
ment not long ago, saying, "The only
thing that would induce him to call
the present legislature In special ses-
sion would be TO combat an invasion
Of outside enemies" II Is to be hsped
he will stand firm by this statement
and not run the risk Of having the
peoples confidence entirely destroyed
In our present form Of government by
.thevenaetment Of this freak legisla-
tion. Yours truly,
L. ]. RAYMOND.

OFFICIAL BALLOT HAS COMPEL
 CATION.

EHe official ballot at the No venfer election will be narrow sheet of paper, twenty one in ches wide and forty two inches long. it will be an unwieldy and cumbersome affair Across the sheet side by side in par allel columns the various party tickets will be placed. In the first column will be the list of state, county and precinct offices to be voted for. In the second column will be the democratic ticket, the third will present the progressive ticket, the pro- hibition ticket will be in the fourth, and the Republican in the fifth column, with the social ist ticket in the sixth, the inde pendent ticket in the seventh, and a partisan picket in the eighth column. Under the last two headings the ticket will con sist mainly of blank lines and voting squares in which the voter may write names and mark after them.
 At the head of each party ticket on the ballot there will be the usual square in which the voter can mark his x if he in tends voting the straight ticket, and it will be counted straight.
 But no voter should forget that in voting the straight ticket in that way he will not vote for the judges and tax commission CTS. They will be printed upon the ballot separate and apart, at the very top of the sheet, ar ranged in alphabetical order, with no designation of the par ties represented by the respect i've candidates. The idea of that arrangement is that the election of the judiciary and commission shall be taken out of politics so far as possible. While the various parties no minated their respective can didates for judges at the prim ary election in September, their names go upon the official ballot in November without any dis tinctive party designation; and the voter has to pick his can didateS.
 Upon the official ballot the names of the judiciary candidates will appear in alphabetical order and include the candidates for judges of the superior court. The nominees for state tax com mission will follow the judiciary candidates in the same way.
 Bear in mind the foregoing or you may forget to vote for judges and tax commission. The names of your choice must be marked in the square to the

 An application must be sworn to before notarieS or court of ficials, and then transmitted to the central office, which is in Phoenix.

That he is honest will also be admitted by his enemies, if he has any. A vote for Arcus ReddOch is a vote for a four time winner.

All of the gentle men have been successful in the conduct of their own business, and are heavy taxpayers.

SMITH AND HAYDEN ON SUE
 TRACE

Many of the voters of Arizona have become possessed of a mis- apprehension in reference to the attitude of some of the repre- sentativeS from this state in the | the matter suffrage.
 Senator Smith and Repre- sentative Hayden have been the special objects of this misap- prehension and from some cause or other the report has gone abroad that they were not in favor of the measure.
 There can be DO good reason assigned why such false re port should have been started, but such has been the case just the same, and it has received credence by many people. While they may have been some what less demonstrative than some others on this subject their support has been none the less pronounced or effective.
 When the advance guard of the Woman's Congressional Union arrived in Phoenix to open headquarters for the state here recently it was heralded by newspaper in opposition to Senator Smith and Representa- tive Hayden that the mission of this union ip Arizona was to compass the defeat of these two candidates for reelection. The aforesaid Congressional Union is alleged to be some sort of an offspring or protege of the Ma tional Woman's Suffrage asso- citation and works only for the election of such candidates for senators and representatives as are known to be supporters of the equal suffrage movement.
 If their mission to this state was correctly set forth, in the newspapers referred to, it would seem that the work which they OStenSibly came here to perform is not required. A telegram re- ceived by Mrs. Eugene Brady O'Neill, from Mrs. Medill Nc Cormick, in answer to one sent to her places these two candi dates in their proper light on this subject before the voters of the state. Mrs. Mccormick is prominent in the equal suffrage movement in the east, and in her. telegram to Mrs. O'Neill she says: "The senators and con- greSsman from Arizona stood by our national amendment splen- didly and we are apreciative and grateful for all they did,"
 This statement is all-embrac- ing in it's scope and takes in the entire delegation.
 This should fore yer set at rest any doubts which might | heretofore have existed in the ! minds of any one as to the at | titude of these men on the suf frage question. Every vote l cast for either Mark Smith for | senator or Carl Hayden for re- presentati is just that much influence eXerted on behalf of | national woman suffrage Gazette.
