About an Even Break.

The following dispatch from jackson
will prove interesting to Homes couIl-
tv people as both cases decided by the
supreme court were appealed from the
circuit court of Holmes:
In two cases handed down, one by
Justice Reed and another by Justice
Cook, both from Holmes county WIN
the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Rail
road Company as the appellant, the
CORPORATION won and lost its conten"
tions. Justice Reed handed down tne
case of Railroad Company Vs. j. J.
Downs, being a personal injury SUIT IN
which the appellee had won IN the Crlal
court. Downs vas section foreman,
who was injured while in the course OF
his customary occupation, when was
in the instance complained OF relaylng
crossties. In pulling spikes which
held the rail to the t e something gave
way and Downs lost his balance ana
fell, crushing his hand and losing q
finger. He set up the claim that the
company was liable, in that 1t mad
failed to provide him with proper ap--
paratus for carrying on its work, ana
in the lower court he was awarded a
comfortable judgment,
According to the courts analysis OF
the case, it seemed to be clearly case
of contributory negligence, and the
trial Judge should have so instructed
The case was ordered reversed, WIN

Openbottom Puts Old Brother Skillet
Among the Movies.

Say gentlemen, since all this oum
talk of hard times we have heard for
the last six months at every street
c,rner and cross road f the county, we
don't think such talk ever amounted TO
ANYTHING, or has demoralized anybody
unless it was old Brother Skillet. Per-
haps YOU don't know the gentleman.
We do and we know him to be a regu-
lar old rounder and a hard knocker !;
and is also known as a walking and
talking bulletin board. the hybrid or
ali things mean and detestable, distri-,
buting and circulating all the uncalled
for, | heard them say smoking two
for a nickel shaking your right hand
with his left fore foot, putting on the
style of Vanderbilt a Morgan or a
Bull Mooser. In fact, to see old Broth,
er Skillet and not know him you would
take it for granted that it was some
visiting stranger, waiting to take and
be initiated in the sublime and BIRD de-
gree of Moon3hine whlskey, not for
getting, however to send in his boot
legged compliments to all the judges,
iuries of the court, for the high de-
grees conferred upon him in the Order
of Honey and Mountain Dew.

the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley and
Illinois Central against V. P. Messina,
also from Holmes county, in which
Messina had been given judgment for
$4,000 for injury which he had sus-
tanned This was the case in which
the law as to liability of officers,
agents or servants of a railroad COM
pany or other public service corpora
ton was invoked as to limitations in
extending transportation. Messina had
been a former employe of the railroad
company and the record showed that in
deadheading it to Memphis he had
been given permission to ride on the
engine by the engineer 1t was at
night. The weather had been nasty
and the country flooded with rains
from above and overflow from sur
rounding creeks. Proceeding on its
way, the fast train struck washOut,
was derailed and among those injured
was the appellee. While he was ad.
mittedly a trespaSser, the court held
that the engineer had no authority tc
extend him free transportation on his
engine. AS pointed out by Justice
Cook in the opinion handed down, the
appellant company might have met tht
incongruities complained Of by IN
structions of the court, But rs counse
did not ask such instruction. IL was
clearly not the province OF the court
to volunteer sag gestlons or instruct
ions. The court announced that it had

SALARY No CRITERION.

The contention of A. b. Leach,
president Of the Investment Bankers
association, that the business meth
DDS of concerns operated by men OF
high salary should not be criticised
by persons in the governments en-
ploy receiving lower salaries, is not
we'll taken.
president Underwood. Of the Erie
railroad, recently voiced similar
sentiment and probably this opinion
is shared by hundreds Of hiGh-salari-
ed men in the employ of corporations.
Such a system in practice wouid
make the $4,000 and 100000 men
practically immune from criticism.
Most of cur judges do not receive
anywhere near the salaries that
many Of The corporation lawyers
arguine before them get in fees. This
doesn't prevent the decisions Of the
Judges. however, from being any the
less learned or effective.
Members of the government inqul-
sitorial bodies do not receive the
salary than the insurance presidents

The life insurance investigation OF
more than a decade ago were brought
about by men receiving far less III
salary thar the insurance presidents
whose business operations were ques-
tened.
And thus it goes. The money
standard is no fit standard for com
parisons of worth, ability, RESPONSE

"The total visible supply of all

These and other figures indicate
that the cotton grower who depends
entirely upon cotton this year is
counting disaster. Merchants and
supply men should encourage and aid
the farmer to grow more OF his needs
instead Of insisting upon an all-cot-
ton acreage. But even if the sup
plv men do not aid the farmer to
grow other crops, the farmer must
do so. He must at least grow enough
to supply, himself This will cut
down the profits of The supply man,
but it will leave the farmer in better
shape.
