Dinner Stories.

Many southern darkys mind is
stored with bits of philosophy that
are frequently as true as they are
quaint. Here is an instance.
"One wintry day." says a Washing
ton man, Il met an old darby in rags
plodding along. The cold wind beat
through the many holes in his tat
tered garments. Yet despite his evil
dent poverty he was carrying a whole
side of BACON on his shoulder.

The Fly Campaign is On.

Realizing the dangers that lie in
allowing flies to infest our town
some of our public spirited women
have succeed ded in enlisting the aid
and cooperation of practically all
the women's organizations of our
city who will work with our health
officers and board of control in an
effort to rid our town OF this
loathesome and dangerous pest
during the coming summer. The
movement took definite form Tues
day, at a meeting of repre-
sentatives from the different wo-
mems organizations and our May
or and county health officer, DR..
Frizell.
Mr.. Heuck was chosen as per-
manent chairman and Miss Eva
KohIman as secretary. Plans
were laid for enlisting the coope-
ration of every citizen of our town.
The campaign will be carried on
in connection with the cleanup
campaign, and it is to be hoped
that Brookhaven people will arise
to the occasion and not merely
reduce the number of flies but ex-
terminate them entirely. 1t has
been proved beyond the shadow Of
doubt by other towns and cities
that this can be done, so we are
undertaking no impossibility. Ha-
vana, Cuba, and Brussels, Bel
gium, are two noteworthy instances
of this, and it is even said thai
there is scarcely a fly to be found
in all Belgium. We don't HAVE
to have flies in Brookhaven. Some
folks may think we do, but we
don't. Everybody unite to make
Brookhaven flyless. Down witt

NEW MOTOR TRUCK IN SERVICE.
Change in City's Fire-Fighting Methods
Will Result in Greater Efficiency
and Salvage.

Brookhaven's new $4,000 La
France Motor Fire Truck and
Chemical Extinguisher, ordered by
the Mayor and Board of Aldermen
to supplant the horse-drawn appa-
ratus in use several years, arrived
yesterday and has been put into
service.
The demonstration of the compa-
ny sent with the machine to see
that everything connected with it
was put in perfect order in install
ing the new mode of fighting fires
here, gave ample demonstration of
the speed of the machine. Several
loads of citizens were speeded over
the graveled highways around the
city at gaits ranging up to 40
miles an hour, the truck showing
plenty of power and its superiority
as time saver over the old-time
apparatus.
With the installation of the new
apparatus three regular firemen
will be kept at the fire station in
future, ample in emergency to
combat fire by themselves, which
with a large and improved chemi-
cal extinguisher carried will add
additional efficiency to the depart
ment, this extinguisher working
with a long line of hose that can
be carried to places otherwise in
accessible to smaller extinguishers
as we'll as to water with consequent
lack of the damage which always
accompanies water use.

RESULTS SHOW CONGLUSIVELY
THAT MILLER IS ELECTED

While returns are not yet Aabso-
lutely complete on the election for
circuit judge held in the counties
of Copiah, Lincoln, Pike and Wal
thaIl between Judge D. M. Miller
and District Attorney Hugh v.
Wall, of this city, the results OBJ
tained are sufficient to absolutely
make certain that Miller is elect
ed by a majority of not less than
$50.
Wall carried Lincoln by a major
ity of 226, Walthall by approx.
mately go; while Miller carried
Pike by l24 majority and Copiah
by something over 800.
Some of Mr.. Wallis friends here
abouts attribute his defeat to the
fact that he is one of the most
popular district attorneys in the
state, and to the wish of the
people that he be retained in that
office. 1t is being said his friends
elected him last fall to that office
and at this election even his ene-
mics voted for him by voting for
Miller evidencing by this that they
wished him to be retained in his
present position as District Attor-
ney.
Judge Miller, who served with
the present District Attorney be-
for the election of Circuit Judge
Holden after Holden's previous
appointment by Gov. Brewer, is too
we'll known in the District to need
a word here. In double harness
Judge Miller and Mr.. Wall will
take charge at the next term OF
court. Judge Miller's experience
and his equipment as an exponent
of the law fit him as few men are
fitted for the office he has attained,
independent of any political ma
neuvering, and on his merits
alone. The people should be salts
fed.

NATCHEz FIRE CAUSES A
FIFTY THOUSAND LOSS

Natchez, Miss, March %. Fire
of undetermined origin late today
partially destroyed the plant of the
Natchez Dressed Beef Company,
causing damage estimated at from
$50, 900 to $50, 900. The plant
was valued at SIS, 1000 and is in
the heart of the business section.
The blaze was gotten under con-
troll after a two hours fight, and
was prevented from spreading to
adjoining buildings. One fireman
was injured. Insurance partly
covered the loss.

lis one of the largest seen in this

wings measured seven feet, six
inches from tip to tip. MIR. Sey-

more frequent in his locality recent
ly than in some years. Five were
seen attacking one sheep. Because

QUIN IN THE LIMELIGHT.
Congressman in a Serious and HumOr'
GUS Vein-A Good Joke if
Nothing More.

So full of interest to our people
is every movement of their repre-
sentative in Congress that The
Leader, quoting from a Washing
ton correspondent of the CONNER
ciaI Appeal, is inclined to pass the
following item along:-
Representative Quin of Missis'
sippi said the evidence before the
military committee had shown
clearly that the national guard was
adequate and a we'll tried substitute
for the continental army.
"Mr. Quin became a prepared
ness advocate since the session of
Congress began. He declared he
was glad American troops had
been sent into Mexico to capture
Villa.
of course, said he, we know
that Mexico is not much to con-
tend with. But we must prepare
to defend the Monroe Doctrine and
prepare now.
Representative Dent, Democrat,
of Alabama said the committee
had concluded that Congress had
power to federalize the national
guard in every way except as to
the appointment of officers. Even
in that respect, he said, Congress
could provide the qualifications
officers must possess to hold COM
missions. The Hay bill, he said,
made this provision.
And this from the Sunday maga-
zine of the same paper
Representative Percy E. Quin,
of Mississippi, is an exceptionally
modest man, but he is also at times
an absent minded man. For that
reason he gave an exhibition one
day of what might have been con-
strued as gross immodesty. He
had Just made a speech on the floor
of the House. When he sat down
everybody applauded. Having had
his mind fixed on this subject he
did not realize when he sat down
that the applause was for him, and
so he absent -mindedly joined in
the applause. He applauded loud
er than anybody else, until a
friend came over and brought him
to himself with the remark:
"You must have liked that
speech.
