is contained in recommendations OF a
special commission appointed by Cir
| cult Judge Wiley H. Potter that dis
barment proceedings be instituted.
/ The commission, composed of Geo. b.
Power, Robert B. Ricketts, and George
Butler, which last week heared evil
dence on charges instituted by officers
of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pyth-
las colored, claiming that Redmond
had, in an unprofessional way stirred
up litigation and dissention, gave It's
report to the court late yesterday aft
ernoOn.
1t was alleged that Redmond did.
not tell claimants under policies of
the order that he was an attorney or
that he was to receive any compen-
sation when he sought to settle their
claims with the order, and Redmond
admitted that he did not tell them he

thought, this no concern of theirs if
they could settle their claims at so
per cent on the dollar.
The next step, it is believed, will be
disbarment proceedings, which may
be brought on information before
Judge Potter, in which event the evil
dence will probably be taken all over
again.
In winding up their report to the
judge the commissioners say:
Taking the evidence as a whole,
we think that Redmond has been gull
ty of deceit, malpractice and misbe-
haivour and We unanimously recon-
mend that formal disbarment pro 81
ceedings be instituted. In our opinion
In any view of the testimony, Red
mond has been guilty of such repre-
hensible conduct as to justify the in
stitution of formal disbarment pro-
ceedings."

PURvIS NOTES.

Purvis, Miss, July Z. - After al
eight months shut down the saw mil
of Hand Jordan Lumber Company oil
this place resumed operations here
today. The resumption of this place
was hailed with delight by the entire
community, as the cutting off of a
large pay roll for eight months has
served to depress business conditions
here, though this has unquestionably
stimulated farming operations and
as result better crop prospects were
perhaps, never seen in this vicinity.
The recent rains have had marked
effect upon all crops and the prospect
of an abundance of hog and hominy''
is excellent for this fall.
Much interest In the matter of pro-
iecting the strawberry industry at
this place has recently developed. A
meeting of farmers, merchants and
others has been called for tomorrow
and it is expected that as a result
plans for starting with a number OF
acres will then be adopted and a co
operative organization perfected.
1t is learned here tnat with the
coming OF Prof. j. ]. Dawson in Au-
gust to take charge as principal of
the Lamar County Agricultural High
school, he will give impetus to the
matter Of community organization"
that being, 1t Is said subject on
which he has specialized for several
years. AS superintendent of public
schools of Harrison county for the
past seven and a half years, Mr.. Daw
sey has done much to encourage CO.
operative efforts among the jewellers
in the small towns and the success of
the trucking industry at Long Beach
is said to furnish a concrete example
of what may be done by such a pro-
paganda.
The people of this county whoa are
advised as to Mr. Dawseys qualfica-
lions are felicitating themselves upon
his decision to come here as the head
of what they claim is one of the best
equipped agricultural high schools in
the state, for the reason that they
are confident that the school will con-
tinue to do excellent work In keeping
with its record under b. A. Tolbert,
who has just left here to accept the
position of principal Of Wilkinson
County Agricultural High School at
Woodville.
In this year when the crop Of can
didates for public office has reached
a new record in point of numbers, Mr..
Dawsey decided to give up his office
as county superintendent of education
for Harrison county to accept the
principals position in the Lamar Coup
ty Agricultural High School. even be-
fore his term expired and when he
could have been reelected for another
term of four years as he was with
out opposition for the place.

To the Editor reof The Farmer:
 I was the witness Sof a rather un- usual incident yesterday evening which thought might interest your readers.
 Looking from my window about dusk last night saw a typical knight of the road-a rather rare bird down here at Laurel Beach-enter the gar den back of the bungalow belongin g to Unberto Sorrentino. the famous Italian tenor. This Garden has been the apple of Sorrentino's eye all sum rr1er and into it he has put much of la bor and care.
 The tramp. after a. hasty look around, dropped into the cultivated space and began to gather the pick of Sorrentino's prize vegetables. Be- fore I realized just what was happen ing and could shout at the intruder MT. Sorrentino came out on his piazza. bade the man wait until he could pro- cure him a basket. Before the man could formulate a reply or run away, Sorrentino came to the door with a large fishing basket. This he pro- ceeded nethodica1Iy to load with the choicest of his tomatoes, radishes and garden growth and handed it to the man with 8 cordial express of good will.
 This action was to us, who know him, as characteristic of the great tenor. that I felt impelled to tell his many Bridgeport friends about it.

MT. Saum, too, denied that he had signed the deed as did Justice Bacon Wakeman.
 There was talk of prosecution i'm mediately. Then came an effort to hush up the incident. Attorney Kings family is highly respected in Fairfield and, in their behalf, every thing was done to straighten out the matter. It was said that the bank would accept a assett1ement proposition made by Attorney Kings friends.
 Then King disappeared. His fam fly has no trace of him. His friends in the legal fraternity here haven t any idea where he is
 When hfs~ disappearance had heightened into days. complaint was made to States Attorney Cummings He has promised a full investigation.
 Attorney King represented his town in the legislatures of 1913 and 1915. In the last session he was a member of the judiciary committee and was mentioned for a place as special as- sistant to the attorney general. He is grand juror for Fairfield and prom inent in legal and political cinc1es throughout the county.
 His family connectior1s in Fairfield are of the highest. His immediate family bears the respect of countless friends in this city and in Fairfield. lie Is 46 years Old and was born 1n Willimantic. In legal practice, At torney King was associated with John P. Gray, assistant prosecutor of the city court here.
 That the investiga Of Attorney Kings transa actions will develop sen sations that will include the names of prominent persons of Fairfield and Bridgeport was hinted today by those who knew details of the complaint. t. They say that other complaints will be forthcoming now that a specific case has been set before the states at torney.
 Men whose names were mentioned in the alleged spurious mortgage were reticent today Frank SauTn. who is the town barber, said:
 .-Oh. well, these men are friends and neighbors of mine and I guess l won't say anything about it. won f lose anything by. the transaction. It does. however. show up some peo- ple.''
 The name of former Postmaster Edward Pickett has been linked with the transactions. MT. Saum was ask ed his connection with the case.
 "Oh, he's one of the principals 2 was the answer and MT. Saum re- fused to comment further on this startling statement
 "Go ask Joe Flint or Bacon Wake man about it,'' was his final com ment. 'I won't say any more.''
 MT. Flint and MT. Wakernan would not talk. It is known, however that Flint has made complaint to the states attorney.

 TO LOW RECORD Foreign Exchange Rates Reach Serious Situation
 After Violent Break.
POLICY OF ECONOMY
 LIKELY FOR ENGLAND
Purchase Here of Supplies Other Than Munitions
 May Be Curtai1ed.

New york Aug. 131@Foreign ex- change rates reached their most se- rious stage to-day with an overnight break of cents in sterling, the English pound selling in this n1arket at SI5SA close to the mark Where eurtaiInnent of big foreign orders to the United States would follow. in the opinion of bankers
 Nothing like the violent break in quotations had ever before been re- corded in foreign exchange markets here. The low level reached to-day was 15z cents below the mark set weeks ago by fnanciers as the so-call- ed irreducibIe minimum which. when reached would cause British buyers to seek other markets in which to place their orders for such imports as could be obtained elsewhere than in America
 Foodstuns, manufacture goods and many other products in fact almost everything except actual nnpnitions of war, were embraced within the cate gory-
 Characterization in the foreign ex- change markets was succeeded by al- most chaotic conditions as the result of the break Dealings in foreign ex- change were virtually at a standstiII- Rates varying as muchsas a. cent were quoted by different houses but these rates were. in almost every case, pure Iy nominal and there was almost no business done in English money here to-day.
 The big break means that English buyers, in addition to the top of the market prices already paid by them in this country for American pro- ducts, are called upon to pay a pre- Jniurn of 28 E cents on every pound's s worth of purchases or more than five per cent With London carrying this ,onerous burden. something new to British bankers, as English money has for generations been the world s standard of international finance, the uuestion discussed in banking circles here to-day was how long Great Brit ain would continue to buy here such articles as she was not compelled to.
 There is no other world market of importance open, it was pointed out, but more rigid economy at home in all imported articles and purchases by Great Britain from such European neutra1s as had wares to sell it was thought, would undoubtedly follow if exchange rates should go lower. This would result in 1essening, to an extent which cannot be estimated, the amount of goods which American sell lers are sending abroad, now the greatest in volume in the history of the country.
