ATTEMPT MADE TO
KILL WALT. HUDSON
Three Men Jailed as Result Hudson
in Serious Condition Shot Gun
and Winchester Used.

Charles Adams and Hoge Hunt
are held in the county Jail as par
ties directly implicated in the
shooting of Walter Hudson, 2
miles west of Bogue Chitto, Thurs
day morning. Lum Adams, a
brother of Charles Adams, is also
confined as possibly knowing
something of the affair.
Hudson, brought here in an auto
shortly after the shooting, has any
number of wounds in the upper
portion of his body from No. l
squirrel shot, and is in a very crit
ical condition, it being feared that
some of the shot penetrated the
cavity as we'll as the unknown
depth to which some went near the
heart.
Details are rather meagre as to
the direct cause of the shooting,
reports being very conflicting.
AS soon as word was received by
phone at Sheriff W. Ed Smiths
office this official, accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Sid Smith, went to
the scene in a car, finding the men
arrested in a field near their
homes. They were rather excited
and, after arrest, were so anxious
to get away from the scene that
they refused to even go by their
homes to get their shoes, being
barefooted, the Sheriff coming on
in with them in this condition.
Hudson recovered sufficiently at
one time since being brought here
to make the statement that Charles
Adams shot him with a single
barreled shot gun and that Hunt
fired at him with a Winchester
three times. Contradictory to
this, Charles Adams is quoted as
making the statement in jail TAX
ing all the blame for all of the
affair upon himself by saying he
did all of the shooting, using both
the single -barreled shot gun and
the Winchester.
The trouble occurred on a farm
owned by Nick McCaffrey of Nor
field, all of the men having been
working in the field and the sup
position is that the trouble grew
out of accumulated neighborhood
chickering's.
Trial will be had before Justice
R. S. Butler when the outcome of
Hudson's wounds is known.

Mothers Day TO-MOrrOW.

To the Churches of Mississippi:
The Old Ladies' Home Associa-
tion sends greetings on "Moth-
ers' " day. While other lands are
bowed down in sorrow and grief
because they, must give up their
loved ones to satisfy the demands
of heartless, cruel war a great
majority of us are blessed with
the privilege of enjoying our loved
ones all together in a sweet home.
However, as we all know, the
hand of aff1iction has fallen more
heavily upon some than Others.
Some of our dear old mothers in
Israel are without homes or loved
ones, so the responsibility to care
for them and make them happy
while they must wait for the home
prepared for them in the Golden
City, falls upon the more fortu-
nate.
The sweet Old Ladies Home,
built and being supported by the
good women of Mississippi is a
beautiful haven of rest where
many dear souls, nearly all OF
them somebody's mother, can wait
in comfort and peace.
1t is the desire of the association
through the local auxiliaries
throughout the state, to ask every
church for Mothers - day col.
lection. This will be a very small
matter to each individual but Z
hearty response will mean much
for this work of charity. May we
not depend upon each and every
congregation to whom this appeal
is made, sin Memory of Mother"
to make the gift just as large as
possible?
"Inasmuch as ye have done i
unto the least of these my breth
rem, We have done it unto me.

Since our issue of last Saturday
containing the article "The War
Traffickers" favoring government
manufacture of armor plate, The
Leader has received pamphlet is
sued by the Bethlehem Steel Co.,
of South Bethlehem Pa, styled
one of the "armor ring" by Con-
gresham Tavenner.
The pamphlet bears the inscrip-
ton "A Proposed Waste of $1l, :
600, 900 to Build Government
Armor Plant. =
The Bethlehem Co., says:
Briefly. our position is that we
have charged the Government a
low price for armor in the past,
and have derived little profit from
that branch of our business. We
are so certain of this, and so GER
tain that we have done and can do
better for the Government than it
can do for itself, that we have
offered for the future to accept any
price which the Federal Trade
Commission shall decide to be fair
alike to the Government and to
ourselves.
The fact is that we offer to let
the Governments own agent, the
Federal Trade Commission, fix the
price. We agree to make thai
offer good indefinitely.
Is that forcing the Govern
ment?
1T is said that in making armor
we have a monopoly There
are three manufacturers of armol
and but one customer
If we cannot sell to the Ameri-
can Government, for which oul
arnor plant was created. we have
no business.

BROOKHAVEN.

Mankind in general way is
divided into two classes of think
ers, and along one of the lines, as
a result, business is conducted.
There is one class ultra -conserv-
ative, who sees in the future only
a repetition of the past, who al
ways follows the beaten track, who
sees no good in anything which
has not been tested by time. That
man tries nothing new, but blindly
follows the path created in the
past. He would make full success
If the conditions always remain
the same, but if the conditions
change he follows the path all the
same. The great success of the
business in the past was based
largely on the production of cot
ton, and on the lumber industry.
The timber has all been consumed,
and we can not raise cotton, and
yet follow blindly down the same
path as IN the past.
The other class of thinkers, are
what is called dreamers or rain
bow chasers. He is not satisfied
with the past but is trying to i'm
prove on it and get up something
new. He lets his mind run in un-
tried fields to create something
that will aid his prosperity, and of
course make for the betterment of
the entire community. This kind
of mind is the great benefactor
of mankind. But for this kind of
a mind, the telegraphic system,
the telephone system, and in fact
all of the public utilities, without
which the world could not now get
along, would never have been in
vented. Is it possible that Brook
haven has no business man in it
that can dream dreams, and have
visions of a prosperity based on
something else other than cotton? !?
That can not dream that he sees in
operation canning factories to take
care of all the surplus vegetables
and fruits, ggrist mills to grind into
meal all of the surplus corn, sack
it up and have a sufficiency to sup
ply the home market, and not
have to send to St. Louis for it,
and even ship by the car load to
other points, and large packery
to take care of all the surplus
stock of all this section, and the
various other industries that this
country is fully equipped to fur
nish the material to make it sue
cess. If we could find a number
of the business men to have
dreams of this kind, and wake uI
land put their energy in play to
accomplish it, Brookhaven would
then blossom in a business way
like a rose, and you would make i
truly "A Homeseekers Paradise.

MOVIES WINNING CHURCHES.
Their Good Educational Advantages
Are Proven by Practical De-
monstratiOn.

Rev. w. H. Jackson conducts a
department in the Moving Picture
World. He gets good ideas, as the
following proves:
ITO make churchgoers of the
thousands who never go to church
or rarely see the inside of a church
more than once year is the OBJ
ject of my using moving pictures
in my church. /" These are the
words of a Long Island clergyman
in Justification for his Sunday eve-
ming motion picture service. "Not
only that" said the reverend gen.
tleman, "butI consider tone of
the ways to solve the Sunday ques-
ton for my people. Not that this
solution will always apply, but
thatsin my case it is to me the
best course. - In further evidence
of the circumstances which brought
him to this decision, this clergy
man relates how he spent Sun
day evening in New York city for
the purpose of learning the true
advantage of the use of the pic
tures as an auxiliary to the Sunday
evening service. He says: Il at
tended the services in two of the
most prominent churches (naming
them). In one, where there were
Biblical subjects being shown on
the screen, there were about 1000
people present; in the other church,
where renowned preacher occu-
pied the pulpit, there were not
more than $50 people in the pews.
This fact spoke volumes for me,
causing me to decide what to do in
my home church. There is
both example and precept in this
minister doing. There is no
room for advice or criticism, the
procedure is exemplary and be-
speaks good results. Many read
ers Of these lines will do good if
they will pass them on. Doubt
less, this minister's experience IS
that of many others, but the large
majority of ministers might be
glad of this knowledge.
In Kansas it is we'll known that
the use of the moving picture for
educating amusement is spreading
rapidly, churches and schools ale
almost competing with each other
for the honors of first place; the
record of their progress is week
ly one. In the First Baptist Church
of Topeka the Baraca class of
young men, led by local attor-
ney, is installing a moving picture
outfit Cor instructive and entertain
ing purposes, reference being Civ
en- to those containing advice upon
vocational subjects.
The pastor of the church in
which these exhibitions will be
given goes on record as saying
that it is generally conceded that
the motion picture is the greatest
invention for the promotion of
knowledge since the discovery of
printing, quoting report from
the United States Department OF
Education, which says: Within
the next ten years the moving pic
ture will be the indispensable ad-
junct of every teacher and lectur-
er."

VERY GOOD ADVICE.

Before you get as mad as a
wet hen at an editor, advises an
exchange, "stop and think he will
probably be called upon to write
your obituary, and that he will be
expected to say something nice
about you whether the facts war
rant it or not. But he will do it
anyway, whether you get mad at
him or not. The editor doesn't t
care anything about whether you
get as mad as a wet hen or dry
one, when your time comes and he
is called upon to say something
about you, it will be nice-that is
the way of editors. That is one
Of the compensations of being an
editor, in fact-having the privi-
Iege Of saying something nice
about everybody.

THE SIDE OF ONE OF THE "ARMOR RING"
THE OTHER POINT OF VIEW.

be-completely in control of the
situation.
Cali that we ask is that before
Congress takes the step which will
commit this country to an expend-
iture for a Government plant, they
put us to the test on our PROPOSE
tion, viz, to demonstrate that
"We can, will make and have
made armor for the American peo-
pie cheaper than the Government
can possibly do it for ITSELF"
The Chairman and President of
the Bethlehem Co., also state:-
"The Company has duty to its
stockholders to seek to conserve, if
possible, an investment of over
$7, 900, 900 in its armor plant-an
investment made at the behest of
tn Government, and which would
be rendered valueless if a Govern
ment plant should be built.
This is the other side of the
question" and we give it for those
of our readers who are interested.
The Government cannot afford
to be guided by the interests of
a small aggregation against the
| blood and welfare of the peo-
pie, as a general principle.
We have seen no refutation Of
Mr.. Tavenner' S statements, or ar
gument weakening Secretary Dan.
| ieIs position favoring Government
manufacture of armor plate.
IF not ownership, the govern
ment should have supervision, al
least, over factories that minister
to its necessities for which the
| people are taxed and in which the
! toilers are driven to desperation tc
| the extent that a toll Of life itseIi

Itions that are common incidents.

NO APPROPRIATION FOR
SCHOOLS FOR YEAR or 1917

Jackson, Miss. The last Legis-
lature did not make any appropria-
ton for the public schools of the
state during the year 1917. The
Legislature thought it did, and in
tended to do so, but in the hurry
and rush of the closing days of the
session, made an error-one that
may call for a special session next
January.
Because of the tangle between
the two houses over appropriation
and revenue measures, the uncer-
tainty as to how much money the
ways and means committee was
going to be able to raise, and the
insistent demand of the teachers of
the state for salaries past due, the
Legislature passed a bill, approved
February %, appropriating ST.
1872, 786. go for the year 1916. The
intention was later on, to pass a
bill appropriating ST, 1853, III. 90
for the year 1917, and or April 3,
a bill carrying that amount was
approved by the governor. But
the bill reads "for 1916 to 1917. "
That carries the schools to January
l, 1917, and no longer. The error
occurs twice in the bill-in the
title and in the bill.
The bill was offered by MIR.
Keys, of Pamela county, and when
it was read attention was called to
the dates mentioned, but the en-
rolling committee never caught it,
and neither did the governor.
When the secretary of state came
to make copy for the printer, he
discovered the error, which leaves
the public schools of the state
without any appropriation for mex
year. and thus it will have to be
printed in the laws, there being ne
authority to correct clerical o.
other error.
