STRIKE GUARDS ARE
ASSESSED s35 FINES
leads GUILTY FOR ROUSS AND
WAITE, ARRESTED HERE
LAST WEEK.

The last chapter in the legal story
f the strike of the Gulf & Ship Island
rainmen last week, was written in
Justice OF the Peace Clark's court this
morning, when John R. Tally, repre-
senting the trainme3 appeared and
entered plea of guilty on behalf of
:. NJ. Rous5 and j. B. Waite, charged
With carrying concealed weapons dur
ing the recent labor war
The meA were fined $50 and costs
each, $25 Of the costs in each case
having been suspended
The men were arrested a moment
after they had been fined $35 and
costs in Mayor Batson court on con
cealed weapon charge. In this court,
Mr.. Tally contended that as the men
had been deputized in Harrison coun-
ty as assistants to the sheriff there
they were legally authorized to go
armed in Forrest county, although
they had no authority to make arrests
The Mayor declined 10 take this view
Of the matter, and assessed the mini
mum fine.
1t had been expected that Mr.. Tally
would make a similar plea in the JUS
tees court, but when the cases were
called, the plea of guilty was entered.
Concerning the report that the
cases against the railroad guards had
been indefinitely postponed when
called last week, Or county official
said today:
"Such a thing as Indefinitely post
poning any case where charges have
been brought, never will occur in For
rest county while the present officials
are in power. 1t was foolish to say
that we were looking for an excuse
for passing UP these cases against the
railroad guards -

vailed upon General Manager w. T.
Stewart, at a time when even the train
men today admit they were whipped"
and succeeded in having the company
make concessions acceptable to the
employees.
None Of the officials OF the system
seem willing to discuss the matter or
give out any information concerning
inside details" The settlement of the

chance to recover.
'If complications of the brain do
not set in," said one of the surgeons

time sleeping. He never has lost con-

One of his eyes was blown out by
the explosion. He was blinded in the
other. Whether this will be perma-
nent, the physicians cannot definitely
ascertain today.

CURRIE 10 CONTINUE
FIGHT ON NEAR BEER
JOINTS IN FORREST
DlSAGREES WITH VERDICT OF
JUSTICE WHO RELEASED
MAN FOR SELLING 1T.
SAYS OPINIONS ARE NOT
TO BE CONSIDERED LAWS

Simon Merry, d Syrian grocer and
fruit merchant, arrested the latter
part of last month on a charge of sell
ing "Near Beer" without having paid
a $500 privilege tax, has been dis
missed in a justice of the peace's
court.
A Photographic copy of letters sent
to the manufacturers of the drink
which Merry sold, by George II. Ether
idge, assistant attorney general, and
w. +. Hand, state chemist, were re,
sponsible for his release.
County Attorney Alexander Currie,
who fought for a conviction in the
court of Justice Pittman, announced
today that he will not let the matter
drop with this dismissal. He is pre-.
pairing to have Merry appear in an
other court on another charge of sell.
ing the concoction without license.
Il believe that Justice Pittman
erred in dismissing Merry in the face
OF the law" Mr.. Currie said today,
"and | am going to give the Missis-
sippi Supreme Court an opportunity
to pass upon the case"
Drinks Confiscated.
Merry was arrested by Deputy Sher-
if ]. Frank Williams, on orders from
Sheriff HARRISON. A number of bot
ties of the near beer" under the
name of Cream Top" were confis-
Gated. These are being held by the
sheriff now.
The arrest was made under that
section of the law which character
ICES near beer joints" as places offer
ing for sale "a drink which Stimulates
in appearance, odor, taste. or quality,
lager beer"
d. T. Currie, representing Merry,
produced a Photographic copy of let
ter written by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Etheridge to ]. Grossman's Sons,
makers of Cream Top" in which it
was stated that sit is only where
liquors drank to excess will produce
intoxication that the $500 license ap-
plies
The analysis of "Crt am Top" made
by State Chemist Hand shows that
the drink in question contains 0.10
per cent alcohol by volume, and 0.0S
per cent alcohol by weight.
The affidavit made against Merry,
under which the arrest was made, is:

CLAIM IS REFUTED
GEORGE STEPHENSON NOT FATH

Credit for Building First Successful
Railroad Engine Produced in
1927, Given to Timothy
Hack.orth.

The world has been imposed upon
by samuel Smiles in his popular writ
ing series. lie wrote a Life of George
Stephenson" which is a disgrace. be
cause dealing with such an important
historical matter as the development
OF the locomotive engine he claimed
for Stephenson. by mere popular
writing. and against historical facts.
a position in the development OF the
locomotive he did not hold.
There is not one invention in the
locomotive handed down by George
Stephenson. The only invention that
has his name attached to it is the
tion of an apprentice in the Stephen
son works, which invention Robert
Stephenson & Co. purchased.
The latest work on this great sub
ject, which should be in every library,
is the Evolution of the Steam Loco

editor of The Railway Magazine. II is
there distinctly shown that the credit
Of being named the Father OF the
Locomotive" belongs to Timothy Hack
worth.
Timothy Hackworth was associated
with William Hedley from 1911 to
1914. Mr. Hackworth was foreman
over the mechanical department of
Wylem colliery, and Mr.. Hedley was
coal viewer They worked out the
traction ability of smooth rails and
smooth wheels together. They also
built two locomotive engines during
this period known as 'Wylem Oily"
and Putting Billy" The popular name
for these engines in the colliery dis
trict. where all the parties were
known. was "Timothy's Dillys."
Stephenson used to visit Wylem col
liery on Sundays from Killingworth
colliery and make sketches Of these
engines. He built a similar engine,
which was called My Lord in 1914
at Killingworth colliery. All this,
however is far from the point. These
engines were only stepping stones.
They were not successful as locomo-
tives.
The real success Of the locomotive
was worked out on the Stockton &
Darlington Railway, the first public
railway in the world, which was
opened for traffic on September p,
1925.
Timothy Hackworth went to the
Stockton & Darlington railway as en-
gineer and general manager in June,
1925. The locomotives the railway
started with proved unsuccessful. The
horses hauling the coal cars were do
ing the work of transportation cheap
er han the locomotives. The direc-
tors decided to abandon the locomo-
tiyes. However. before taking the de
cisive step. Timothy Hackworth, the
