17 Killed Compared to 35OOO
 Killed

The following is quotation from the Kansas City Post:
 Seventeen persons were slain by Mexican Bandits. Debate in the Senate of the U United States went to fever heat. It remains there. Men, usually calm, want the army and navy called out. They rc- fuse to listen to any other course. "Seventy-fve girls were burned to death in one candy factory fire. One hundred and fifty lost their lives through the same cause in d shirt waist factory. The people were morbidly interested. They bought every edition of the news papers and read them avidly. Then they had supper.
 "A total of 35,OOO persons were killed in American industries last year. Half of these came through
 
 preventab!e accidents. Lack of care by employers in providing pro per machinery to protect workers was a main cause. Violation of laws was another source of fatal accidents"
 Why is it that the killing of seventeen Americans by Mexican bandits in Mexico, after Americans had been warned to keep out of that country, should seem to many, just cause for calling out the army and navy to retaliate, when the criminal staying of thousands

Whom are you Going to Sup
 port?

Last week under this heading, the News discussed various candi- dates whose names have been sug- gested for the Municipal ticket this spring as councilmen. The elec- ton promises to be an interesting one in the choice of the city fath- CTS, but greater interest still is promised in the choice of Town Clerk and Town Marshal.
 As town Clerk, W. c. Ritten- house has made good. If there are any complaints we have not heard them, and that is saying a good deal. The News does not know whether Mir. Rittenhouse will run again bat many ot his friends are anxious that he should. He will certainly make a good run if he does decide to enter the race.
 John R. Sweeney is another prospective candidate for Clerk. If his friends have their way, he will enter the race soon. Mir. Sweeney has the ability and a large number of friends and will make it interesting for anyone who may oppose him.
 A third possible candidate for this of1i,e Is Jerrie Lee. There are many who wish to see Mir. Lee en- ter the race and it is quite possible that he is seriously considering doing so. He is well known and well liked the town over and the candidate who runs against him will have hard man to beat.
 Bobby Burns has been holding down his job with an earnestness and fearlessness that has been making him many votes. He is sure to be candidate and will make the best race he has ever made in an election in Williams.
 c. $. Patterson is being urged to run for Marshall He is well known and well liked and will make a strong candidate if he decides to run.
 The name of Kenneth Hughes, has been suggested for this office, also. Whether Mir. Hughes would consider running or not, the News does not know, but if he were to make the race he would have the support of great many influential citizens.
 Withal, the coming election promises to be one of the livest ever witnessed in Williams. The people are awake and. they intend to have officers who will enforce the law and work for prosperous and progressive town,

OUR GOA STING PARTY
PART I

Most communities have a fam fly or two who live by illegiti- mate practices and yet are so cunning in their operations that they are never seen behind the bars. A member of such a fam fly is of far greater detriment to a community than the less crafty individual who commits a crime openly and is then deprived of his liberty during a period of correction.
 Williams has one family of this sort, which is making itself especially obnoxious to the self respecting public at the present t'me. This family is credited with perpetual violations of the pro- hibatory law. Men who buy of them, confess to it confdenti- ally-have confessed to the edi- tor of the News and others and yet will refuse to testify against these individuals for whom they can harbor nothing but con- tempt. One whiff of the breath of these confessors is unmistak- able evidence of the strength of the goods purchased.
 One feels a little sympathy for the man who, once engaged in the sale of liquor, now finds it hard to comply with the will of the majority, but we credit him with being human and are not opposed to seeing a little lenien- cy extended to him, at frs.
 But the English language is lacking in a term quite express i've enough for fit application to the person who voted for the prohibatory amendment for the express purpose of getting a chance to violate that law for profit. Last Saturday, one man admitted that he had paid dearl y for liquor bought from men wh o had done tf-is very same thing. Hanging is too good for lem he said. Be that as it may, there is no longer any need of this community tolerating either their violations of the law or their political influence.
 No names are necessary when all heads nod kno vingly and all tongues are asking that they and their 'catspaws" be forever busted from positions of promin- ence in the community.
 These persons are already on the political tobaggan slide and the speed of their descent is momentarily accelerating. Town and county elections are ap- preaching. While waiting for the ocffers to complete the evi : dence which will place them be- hind the bars, let every self re- specting citizen see to it that no political trickery shall slip any person friendly to them, into office at the coming election, to slack their descent.
 They're on the tobaggan. Keep them sliding"

LAUNDRY ADDS NEW MACHINE.
The Delta Steam Laundry Installs
New Model Machine.

Inc Oelta Steam Laundry 1nstalls
New Model Machine.
The Delta Steam Laundry has re-
Gently installed a bleaching machine,
known as a Valhalla Chlorintor, in
their laundry on Main street. The
machine is the second Of its kind to
be installed in any laundry in the
state of Mississippi, and is the latest
word in bleaching machines. It will
remove stains Of all sorts from a r
ments without the least injury to the
garment. =
The process Of bleaching by the
Valhalla Chlorintor can be summed up
in n sentence without terms as fol-
lows: A solution Of common salt and
water electrified. That sounds easy,
but only the solution Of common salt
and water electrified in the bleaching
machine will do the work. The ma.
chine could not bleach without the So
luton, likewise the solution could not
bleach without the machine.
The electricity removes the chlorine
gas from the salt. Therein lies the
secret. But the fact of interest to the
people Of Greenwood is that such a
bleaching machine has been installed
in this model laundry. A test was
made Of the machine recently. A piece
Of cloth was placed in It and allowed
to stay there for six hours. When II
was taken out it was not damaged in
the least. A representative of The
Daily Commonwealth yesterday saw
a large grass stain removed in q few
minutes from a garment that IL would
been almost impossible to have
removed in any other way.
The laundry has recently installed
its own electric plant and use electric
irons and machinery entirely in their
place now. It is very interesting to
