TERTAIN THE OLD C0NFEDS

Mr.. ]. w. McGrath, of John Nc
Grath & Sons, of this city, has
demonstrated his generous and
loyal spirit in inviting 100 Confeder-
ate Veterans to be his guests at
one of the performances of the
birth of Nation" the celebrat-
ed moving picture to be shown
here May 8, 9 and 10.
Mr.. McGrath is an honorary
member of Lincoln County Sylves-
ter Gwin Camp No. g and has
many warm personal friends
among the ''boys who wore the
gray" and it will be through
his magnanimity that the greater
portion of those who see the play
here as his guests will have such
an opportunity.
Brookhaven is the smallest city
in this section in which the great
picture will be shown, demands
being so heavy in large centers
that it was only by the greatest
endeavor that the three days play
here was secured. No one should
miss seeing the production.

PERSONAL Presence Solicited at Whit.
worth RecitaIs.

1iie students recitais given at
Whitworth are an educational fea.
ture of which our music lovers and
friends of education seem in the
main far from appreciating.
These programs which represent
years of painstaking and inspired
effort on the part of teachers and
pupils-perhaps the loving sacri-
fee of parents and relatives
would appear to hold tremendous
personal appeal to which any lover
of youth and aspiration would re-
spond.
Barring the question of the in
trinsic and undeniable excellence
of these recitals it seems a hard
and unsympathetic spirit indeed
which would recognize the dis
couraging effect of empty seats up
on student and teacher, and still
refuse to lend the inspiration OF
personal presence.
Let us think of this side of
things: Any hostess who has spent
time and energy in preparing a
dinner or party and then been dis
appointed by the non arrival of the
expected number of guests should
be able to look at the matter from
the standpoint of teacher and pupil
and should be willing to give an
occasional evening to the recogni-
tion of effort and merit even at
some personal Inconvenience.
Brookhaven owes much to Whit
worth College. It is doubtful
whether any citizen would affirm
the contrary. But few of those
who are counted lovers of music
and youthful aspiration prove their
right to the title by lending the
encouragement and inspiration
which only their presence can
give on occasion.
Let us spare the next girls who
appear in recital the ordeal of ap-
pearing before an audience in
which vacant seats are conspiciu-
Gus.
In no other way can we prove
our appreciation of Whitworth to
ourselves, to our associates and to
the relatives of students who jour-
ney from other towns to see them
appear before audiences in which
the local representation is conspic-
uously small.
Let's go back to the golden rule
We wouldn't like audiences Of
empty seats for our own sisters or
daughters. Let us be audience for

BANK CASE APPEAL DISMISSED.
States Appeal in Becker Case Re-
garded as Forecast Of MOL Pros
in Remainder Of Cses.

The appeal of the State by Dis
trict Attorney Hugh v. Wall in
the case of F. F. Becker, charged
with receiving money into the
Commercial Bank & Trust Co.,
knowing it to be in an insolvent
condition, has been dismissed by
Assistant Attorney General Geo.
W. Ethridge who has charge of the
appeals of the state in the Supreme
Court.
MIR. Becker was tried in Decenl-
Der, 1914, following the failure of
the bank in January of that year,
and was indicted jointly with sew
eral other officers and directors,
but asked for a severance in the
trial of his case.
AS all of the indictments were
founded on practically the same
circumstances and facts Mr.. Beck
er's trial was regarded as a test
case of all the indictments and it
is now practically certain that
when the remaining charges
against the other officers and di-
rectors indicted are called that they
will be promptly mol pressed.
If this decision has anything
like an irritating effect upon the
depositors who have suffered
through the failure of the CONNER
cial Bank, the announcement that
the sixth temper cent dividend
will be paid on May 10 will serve
as salve or dose of soothing
syrup to tide them over their dis
affection.

WAS LOADED WITH BOOZE.
Police Chief Apprehends Man With Va
riegated Assortment Of Liquor
Filling Two Suit Cases.

Thursday morning as the east
bound Mississippi Central passen-
Iger train rolled into the yards in
tie northern section of the city a
negro by the name of Seavey
Smith, well known to the police
here got off with two suitcases
when the train halted to switch
back into the station, not thinking
that he was being watched by a
| plain clothes man.
The plain clothes man then
BEARDED the train and came into
town and reported to Chief of Po-
| lie, R. L. Davis, what he had
seen, and the chief Immediately is
tsued search warrant and went
out to the negro's house and walk
I ing in found one suit case sitting
just inside the door. He kicked
it and asked the negro who was
sitting on the bed what it con-
ltained and he calmly replied, cts
whiskey, boss" The chief then
asked where the other suit case
was and the negro tried to put him
Ho1 his track" by telling him
| that. he had left it at a neighbor' S
hpus& but after a careful search it
was found hidden in the same
house.
Upon examining the suitcases
Mr.. Davis found "a pts. of beer, a
quart bottles and s pint bottles of
whiskey as well as 2 quarts of
wine.
The negro and whiskey were
carried to the City Hall and after a
trial Smith was found guilty and
was given a fine of 500 and 80
days on the county farm.
Mr.. Davis saw Smith go off on
the 5:54 M. C. passenger train
with two suit cases Wednesday af-
ternoon and suspicioned something
and so was on the lookout for his
return and had a plain clothes man
| to go to the junction where the
train stopped to back into the sta
tion and where Smith alighted as
described above.
The negro said that he secured
| the whiskey across the river from
Natchez.
MIR. Davis says, eff will be easy
for us to catch all booze singers
since the new law has gone into
effect. And, / think, after we
have caught a few we will have nc
more trouble with them, for they
will see it is too easy for us. I"

they affect the consumer. There is
great need that the woman consumer,
who spends most of the family income
for articles used in the home, should
be able to buy with the least extrava-
gance, the least inefficiency and the
least waste 1 believe that a uni
form price on an identified article is
one of the chief means by which this
most desired end can be obtained"
Mrs. Frederick declared that the
passage of the Stephens-Ashurst bill
Will result in greater household eff
cheney in buying for the following
reasons:
First, it will help the consumer
establish a standard In all pur-
chasing.
Second, it will guarantee to the
consumer a continuance Of those
standards once they are estab-
Ished.
Third, it will give wider dis
tribution to more kinds Of prod
ucts that the consumer daily
buys.
Fourth, 1t will save the consum-
er's money because the fixed price
will guarantee permanent, de- +
pendabIe supply Of articles.
Fifth, 1t will be especially help

consumers who arc now victims
of discrimination.
Sixth, 1t will make It possible
for the homemaker to practice
more efficient and less wastefuI

Seventh, 1t will guarantee to the
consumer that the goods which
she buys are made under honor
able standards of manufacture,
fair pay and sanitary conditions.
In her argument for identified ar
ticles Mrs. Frederick said it was ad-
mitted that cut prices tend to drive
such articles from the market and
she was merely showing the interest
that the consumer has in having ar
ticles she buys SO marked and brand
ed that they can be. identified.

Concrete to Hold Back Water.

Concrete will be extensively made
use of In the future in tho revetment
work on the shores OF the Mississippi
river, taking the place OF the willow
mats which have been used for some
time with considerable success. These
mats are effective enough in protect
ing the banks against the action OF
the current, but they are difficult, tie.
dious and time-consuming to weave
and sink in place. The cement proc
ess has been developed by investiga-
tors OF the United States bureau of
standards, who have found that a
four per cent addition of calcium
chloride to the mixing water increases
the strength OF the concrete at the
age of one day by 100 per cent or
more. In some cases the strength Of
the concrete in which the calcium
chloride was, at the age Of two days.
was rs per cent or more Of the
strength normally attained in one
month. This rapid hardening is what
has made the concrete available for
the work Of combining the wandering
Missouri river to it's banks.
