BY NEGRO At HOULEA. MISS.

Houston, Miss, Feb. 20.-A.
w. Beasley, town marshal of Houl-
ka, ten miles north of here, was
shot and killed here tonight shortly
after 8 O'Clock by a negro said to
be Fletcher Williams. The negro,
according to reports from there,
was assisted by his cousin. Both
escaped.
Beasley was investigating dis
turbance in the negro section OF
Houlka, when killed. Reports say
he was stabbed and then shot
down. Details. however, are mea-
ger.
"A deputy with blood hounds left
here to take the trail. Telephone
messages say that feeling is high
and that mob has been formed.
Trouble of a serious nature is ex-
.pected if the negroes are caught.

HOUNDS DO THEIR DUTY.
DID OFFICERS Do THEIRS9

Clark Bros. Store at Ruth was
robbed the other night. A brace
and bit had been used-a double
row of holes being bored near the
door, we are informed.
Gant's famous dogs from Crys-
tai Springs were brought into req
uisition, caught the scent imme-
diately, followed the trail to res
idence a mile distant, went to
buggy in the barn where brace
and bit were found in it with fresh
shavings on it, and then to the
house where the faithful dogs, that
had no better sense, stood before

other language but a barkl
Now THE MAN wasn't Mig
ger, as the crowd that followed the
dogs supposed, and he wasn't ''po'
white trash, but a respectable (?l
man with wife and children, and
he's member of Shady Grove
Baptist Church.
Our grapevine reports that
when the dogs told the truth (at
least that was what Mr.. Cant said)
that the crowd hanged their heads
and went.home and nothing at all
was donel They had thought the
thief was a poor son of Ham,
What would have been done had
he been niger? What is going
to be done any way? And why
should anything be done? And II
it isn't, what has become of the

BABY WEEK CELEBRATION.
MUCH SUPPORT IS GIVEN

In a splendid way, the Brookha-
ven men are ralIying to the cause
of the baby Welfare Celebra-
ton" to be held here March 11th,
at the City Hall. The Mayor has
generously offered the use of the
City Hall on that day for the lee
lures and the physical examination
of the babies. The doctors have
agreed to aid in the examination,
giving their time free. The fra
ternal organizations and the banks
have made appropriations of mon
ey for meeting the expenses of the
occasion.
DR.. /. L. Parsons, City Health
Officer, went to Jackson Wednes-
day to interview DIR. w. S. Leath-
ers, State Director of Public
Health, relative to securing his
personal services here on March
18th. The Women's Committee
had already written DR.. Leathers,
and he had replied that he had SO
many requests for help that it
would be impossible for him to
send any one at SC late a date.
But DR.. Parsons succeeded in gain
ing DR.. Leathers' consent to come
down here himself on March 18th.
He will lecture at the City Hall
with the aid of his stereoptican
slides. This win be of great value
to the meeting, and enhance be-
yond measure the success of the
celebration. DR.. Parsons will send
to Washington for the official
blanks used in the examination OF
the babies in the Health Conference

EFFECTS OF PROHIBI-
BlTION In ALABAMA
Law There Similar to One Now ID
Miss. s.-The Change in Condi-
tiOns Works Well.

President of the city commits
sion, George B. Ward, replied with
vigor yesterday to the slander
against the city of Birmingham be-
ing given wide circulation in the
State of Montana in the prohibition
fight now under way. Mr.. Ward
is not prohibitionist, but he is
unwilling that the name of Bir-
mingham shall be stuffed in such
manner.
1.-THE liquor interests are willing
to blacken the reputation and dam
age the financial status of great
city in order to carry out their de-
signs, said Commissioner Ward.
TREMENDOUS BLUNDER.
1t will doubtless occur to the
liquor people in very short time
that they have made tremendous
blunder in citing Birmingham as
an example of the disastrous effects
of prohibition. This is going to
be clear case of He laughs best
who laughs last.
REVERTS TO SURVEY ARTI-
Gle.
"Reverting to the Survey arti-
Gle, Birmingham has not dispensed
with it's health officer, its city ply
sician, or its market inspector.
They are all doing business as usu-
al, and accomplishing fine results.
In addition to perverting the
Survey article, the liquor people
stultify themselves by adding
I" That in Birmingham social
disorder prevails; that the city is
seething with crime; that the city
is infested with criminal crooks,
etc. that crime is rampant and
drunkenness more prevalent than
ever before in the city's history
that the worst kind of alcoholic
poisons are being sold in enormous
quantities to colored people, and
that the use of deadly drugs is
growing daily
"Not a word of which is true.
Just the reverse is true.
"The use of deadly drugs has
practically been stamped out by the
harmonious cooperation of all the
courts and the police department.
There is practically no liquor COM
ing in, exemption is provided by
State law. Seldom is a drunken
man seen.
1.-THE larger phases of crime,
murder, etc., are practically reduc-
ed to minimum, as the following
record will show q

"Homicides in the city of Birm
ingham have been reduced exactly
33 1-3 per cent for the last three
months of 1915.
Suicides for the entire year of
1914 were 35. For the entire year
of 1915 were IA, or reduction of
so per cent.
ct is a noticeable fact, that
Birmingham never before in its
history has been so quiet and or
derly.
Following is a comparison of
the nubmer of cases in the police
court on February 2, 1915, and
1916:
Saloon, February 2, 1914, 13O
cases.
Saloon, February 2, 1915, AZ
cases.
Prohibition, February 2, 1916, 3
cases.
LITTLE USE FOR JAIL.
another fact that the liquor
people can chew upon.
1.-THE city of Birmi ngham has
the handsomest city Jail in the
South, costing about $100, 600 and
surrounded by twenty acres OF
ground, beautifully cultivated.
1.-THE normal number of prison
ers confined within it before the
advent of prohibition was 200 and
upwards. Today the number
ranges from go to 70, most Of
them colored women.
Now, our new problem is, what
to do with this fine Jail. AS a re-
suit Birmingham is forced to dc
its street cleaning and garbage col
lection with paid laborers instead
of with prisoners.
This wonderful fire and police
record can be traced almost direct
ly to prohibition, for, in the fire
department, it is preventing con.
flagrations by minimizing careless
ness and wontonness. In the po-
lice department it is forestalling
crime.
ATTACK FROM NEW ANGLE.
In other words, through force
of circumstances and economic ne
cessity Birmingham is attacking
these problems from a new angle.
That is to say, instead of Winking
at and ignoring crime at its source
and then handling it afterward al
a tremendous cost, the city is an.
|nihilating the source.
II Instead Of handling and putting
out fires after starting with cost
Ily department, it is ejecting the
causes of fires.

Last season was the worst for wheat
in ft7y years. Wheat nearly all America was
badly damaged by much rain Sections that in past
seasons grew the finest grade of wheat for -four makng
had nothing but damaged wheat to sell Naturally,
rain-damaged wheat doesn't make good -four; hasn't
strength and vitality, and the too-much moisture sets up
fermentation which spos the rising qualities of -four
made from this wheat.
AS an example of how scarce high
grade wheat and how hard get examined 800 cars
of wheat single day and found only carload contain
ing the high quality wheat demanded for making Valiers
Dainty Flour.
The moment we learned how exceed
ngS scarce high-grade wheat was we sent our
to every section of the country where Al wheat at all
was grown and paid premium prices TO get tor our mills
Thus by foresight prompt action and premium prices, Ev
got enough of the highest grade wheat and as result,
we can keep -four up the highest standard OF quality
That's the reason why you'll find ValerS Dainty one
-four that now has the bgh quality has always
had Its quality has not been lessened one iota.
The difference between Valier's
Dainty Flour and ordinary -four great, even under
normal conditions, but the superiority of Vaers
Dainty Flour is mare marked than ever.
