SUSTAINING HOME ENTER
PRISES.

Editorial from the Yazoo City Semi
Weekly Sentinel.
The press of Mississippi has for
years consistently and persistent
ly advocated the fostering of home
enterprises, and have done much
in their trade-at-home preach
ments to stem the financial tide
which has for years been steadily
flowing to the big mail-order
houses, to the detriment of the
home merchant. And while the
press has thus worked to help the
home merchant, no other single
line of business has suffered so
much by this habit of sending
money away for that which could
be bought at home as the Missis-
sippi printers and newspaper
men. Realizing this fact, the
printers and publishers of the
state. assisted by the labor unions,
backed a bill in the last Legisla-
ture to require the various coun-
ties in the state to buy their print
ing from Mississippi printers.
After being bitterly fought by
lobbyists for the big out-of-the-
State printing houses, the bill
finally passed, and is now a law.
So far as the Sentinel has been
able to learn, all of the big print
ing concerns that have waxed fat
on state and county printing for
the past twenty years have aban-
doned the field, except one.
This exception is Mr.. j. M.
Grafton, who has for several
years been the Mississippi repre-
sentative of Geo. D. Barnard &
Co., of st. Louis. Whether Mr..
Grafton is still representing the
st. Louis house is hard to tell.
He tells some people that he is
no longer connected with Barn
ard & Co., while to others he ad-
mits that he expects to continue
to have blank books made in st.
Louis, without mentioning the
name of the house.
At any rate Mr.. Grafton has
thrown down the gauntlet to the
Mississippi editors and printers,
and avows that he is going to
fight 'em." AS he expressed it
TO the Sentinel editor in the Ian
guage of the immortal Shake
speare, Lay on, Macduff, and
damned be he who first cries,
Hold, enough

ton claims that he already has

HOW MAI. PAT HENRY WAS
DEFEATED COUNTY DID
NOT POLL FULL VOTE.

Some peopleare forgetting these
days how former congressional
races went and how one candidate
won and the other lost. Our own
Mai. Pat Henry was once a can
didate against the present con-
gresham. The Major lead the
ticket in the first primary. His
opponent got into the second by
only thirteen votes. Then came
the pull for the last. Warren
county polled a full vote on the
second primary and Rankin did
not poll anything like a full vote.
Our candidate lost by only 469
votes. II Rankin had polled a
full vote and stood by their coun-
ty man like the other fellows did
Major Henry would have been
elected.
There was one feature about
that second primary that has
never been fully explained. In
the first primary Warren county
had two of it's home men out and
both were working hard to get
every vote out and watching to
see that each gotT'his counted.
Both working hard they polled
1443 votes. In the second prima-
ry, with only one home man in
the race, and all the sore toes
fully exposed, they polled 1853
votes. Of this large number
Major Henry got So. The ques-
ton it, where did those 315 extra
votes come from?

to themselves, but to their chill

done, and much easier than one
imagines. A concrete organiza-

and farmers of any country, a
persistent effort, and the deed is
done. -Greenville Times.

Put In Afternoon
of Fr0lic and War

From the moment the march
ing russell masses of men poured
into the Stadium at O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon, until they
marched out again in perfect for
nation to the strains of retreat"
more than two hours later, the
walls of the great curve rocked
with cheers and laughter at a con-
tinuOus spectacle of interest and
amusement such as Tacoma may
never again have a chance to en-
joy.
Fun and earnest alternated in
thrilling succession. One moment

legs. -

scaling wall like veterans, or
leaping and lunging in the bay

Sham Battle Great.
The sham battle was a tense
affair, in which three companies,
entrenched behind the wall at the
open end of the Stadium, were
attacked by three companies,
from within the enclosure, crawl
ing on their stomachs as they
fired until at last they rose in

Although the commissioners
admitted that such a charge
would be an evasion of the law,
and that the light department
would be mulcted unfairly, they
declared that 1t was the only So
luton of serious problem.
Commissioner Petit filed a re-

that he could cut fire department
expense $50,154 next year by
eliminating four fire stations, dis
charging 80 firemen, and putting

by one OF the horses in the Sec

way he was saddled, bucked his
rider off and continued by him

jumps down the Stadium, with his

Small Boy Hurt.
At every pause in the program,
small boys swarmed over the wall
on to the field and, had to be
shooed back.
Roscoe Marble, son of c. e.

fell or was pushed over the wall
and knocked unconscious. A SOL

and carried it to the officers re-

to attend the dinner and dance at
the Armory, but to put in an ev-

NEGRO SROOTS AT BIRD,
BUT HITS WHITE YOUTH

cambridge, Ga, July 10.-Quite
bit of excitement was OCCASION
ed here this morning when the re-
port was spread abroad that Earl
otr1bllng, a young white man
popular in amateur baseball cir
cles, had been shot by negro.
Lynchlng talk was heard until it
was found out that Stribling was
not heard very badly, and that the
occurrence was purely accidental.
1t seems that the vegro had car
RED az rifle down to the river
and shot at bird, the bullet
striking Stribling in the abdomen
after it was almost spent. 1t is
probable that the matter will be
dropped entirely unless a INSIDE
meanor charge be lodged for
on Sunday.
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1916-07-12

whole controversy would, after
an investigation, be in the same
condition as it is at the present
moment.
Should, however, the Interstate
Commerce Commission recon-
mend the granting of the demands
OF the employees, the Commission
would automatically be held re-
sponsible for any increase in OPP
Grating expenses resulting from
the granting of the demands;
therefore, would be compelled to
assent to an increased freight
rate which is perhaps the very
thing that the railroads are try
ing to secure out OF this contro-
verSy.

RAILWAY BROTHERHOOD
ISSUES A STATEMENT

Cleveland, Ohio, July 9, 1916.
Anything for delay, is the plan
OF the railroads in dealing with
the demand of the employees for
an eight-hour> day is charged in
a statement issued today by the
Transportation brotherhoods.
The public should know that the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion only very recently and on
two different occasions, have re-
ported at some length and in con-
siderable detail upon this very
question. Its reports compre-
bend two widespread investiga-
tons since 1910 and are the result
of attempts on the part of the
railroads to make use of increases
in wages to induce the Commits
sion to give its consent to in
creases in freight rates.
The whole subject of wages
was gone into by the Commission
with much care and in great de-
tail.
The railways were fully repre-
scented by counsel and large num-
bers Of witnesses testified in their
behalf.
Eminent counsel appeared in
behalf of the opposition to the
roads.
The attorney of the Commiss-
ion also participated in the pro-
ceedings and prepared and pre-
scented for consideration, great
mass of statistical information.
After full hearing of the in
vestigation upon ali the facts and
circumstances, the Commission
held that there was no evidence
before it which established the
necessity for high rates.
And again in 1914 the same
elaborate and thorough investi-
cation into the subject of wages
as having a bearing on the neces-
slty for increased rates, was held.
This federal tribunal said, it
is interesting to note that not
wlthstanding, wages constitute a
large part of the Transportation
expense, this item of expense has
shown a relatively small advance
as compared with other groups"
The Commission called atten-
ton to the fact that efficiency of
operation and management are
the most important things in the
reduction OF operating expenses,
