Cadets Become Active.
To make the Mississippi A. and M.
college more efficient in its military
training division the complete reor-
g~anization of the corps of cadets has
recently been completed by Capt. w.
A. Foreman, commandant of cadets,
and President W. H. Smith. This &C
ton followed the designation of the
college by the wal department as a
unit for the reserve officers training
corps, senior division, and about 100
members of the senior and junior
classes have already entered training,
which fits them to become officers IN
the U. S. army If they desire to enter
the service.
To assist in training the cadet corps
under the new system the war de
partment has assigned one additional
commissioned officer and three ser
geants, all of whom have eel active
army service for several years.

BIG "MOOTCOURT" TRIAL
STATE REPRESENTATIVE Accus-

University City.-The law depart

academic departments gives way to
the department Of law. The alumni

charging Naples with murder.
In a motion for bail, the defendant
alleged through his attorneys that he
was suffering with a severe disease
and was in danger Of immediate death
il he were not removed from the coun-
ty jail. Hon. l.. J.. Farley. dean Of the
department, was on the bench and
overruled the motion. In a special sit
ting of the court every available plea
in a criminal suit was used, and were
all promptly overruled. The case went
to trial on its merits, a jury being Sc
lected from a special venire. 1t took
over an hour to select a jury, and it
happened that the entire box was
filled with first year men.
The prosecution alleged that Ma
Piles did maliciously and p%remedita-
teddy kill G E. Thompson ON Sunday
night, Jan. IA. The case was most Pc
culiar in that in real life Naples Is
the representative from George coun-
ty and Thompson is in the senate from
Franklin.
The court room In the law building
was filled to its capacity by professors,
students, lawyers and citizens. Ed
Bramlett of Clarksdale led the fight
for the prosecution, and w. L. Clay
ton was leading counsel for the de-
fendant.
The case was hard fought and was
not completed until 8 o'clock in the
afternoon. The jury remained out
fully half an hour and returned a YER
dict of not guilty. The men connect
ed with the a showed skill, and the
speeches delivered to the jury were
surprisingly good for students of law.

can lives !
AS DR.. Poe truthfully says there
will be no looking back until victory
is won" regardless of what any I'm
patriotic individual may think. Any
thing less now would be suicide to

which gives the people the right to

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

1t is refreshing to see that in
many instances politics have been
relocated to the rear and patriotism
and big business put forward during
these stirring times. Note the fol-
lowing statement from a dyed-in-the
wool Republican and business man
of High Point, which was used in a
trade circular recently:
Prosperity in the next IL months
will be greater than it has ever been
in our history, with billions of dol
lars of increased money in circula-
ton, with all farm products selling
at high prices and every man, wO-
man and child employed at the
highest wages ever known, the PEG
pie will have more money to spend
and will buy more freely than ever
before
We trust the gentleman will be
just as fair, if circumstances JUS
tify it, when the next election rolls
around.

County Fair Here This Fall.

The Merchants Association has
decided to hold a kirmess or city
fair some time this fall. devoti1g a
whole week to the affair. 1t will in
reality be a county fair. The WO-
mans Club will cooperate. Home
and farm products will be exhibited,
various business, amusement and
charity booths installed and other
interesting events pulled off. The
old Anchorswarehouse on Jordan St.
will probably be secured to house
the attractions. There will likely be
a midway or war path leading up
to the headquarters. Canned goods
of all kinds, farm products, etc, will
be on display. There will be six
joyous days and nights. The mer-
chants will have special values and
special sales during the week which
promises to be full of interest. Large
crowds are anticipated and to this
end a big advertising campaign will
be inaugurated. Full details from
time to time.

OPPOSITION To THE DRAFT LAW
ABSURD.

DR.. Clarence Poe, editor of the
Progressive Farmer, and very
learned gentleman on law as well
as agriculture, has a very sensible
article in his paper regarding the
constitutionality of the draft law.
Among other things he says:
I'VE greatly regret that few ex-
cellent men among Our Southern
farmers have allowed themselves to
be misled concerning the constitu
Iionality of the selective draft.
1T is time for everybody to know
that such opposition is absurd, dan
gerous, reasonable and probably
punishable by both tiue and impris-
onment. Many. of Americas ablest
lawyers were among the Represent
atives and Senators opposing the Sc
lective draft for other reasons, but
the argument against its constitu-
tionality was simply laughed out of
court. Even among professionalpas-
fists the idea has no serious follow
ing.
There is not one chance in ten
million that the Supreme Court
would hold the selective draft un.
constitutional and even if it did, the
determination of this government
would not be checked for the re-
hottest fraction of second The leg
isIature of every State in the Union

racy and safe against ever being

WHY THE DIFFERENCE?

The government is arresting peo-
pie over the country for acts and
utterances calculated to injure the
government in its war program, yet
we have the sorry spectacle of Unit
ed States Senators and Congressman
uttering reasonable Cor near-trea-
sonable) remarks in their talks at
the Capitol in Washington. Here is
one LaFollette insisting On the gov
eminent stating its war aims, call
ing the draft unconstitutional and
in effect creatinga sentiment among
many to resist draft and otherwise
be guilty Of disloyalty and treason.
There are others in his class. Why
are these men, who should know
better, allowed 50 much privilege
and the ordinary citizen Gagged for
following suit? The crime by the
big uns'' is far worse than if COM
mitted by those who are not so
learned.

PAY PROMPTLY,AS YOU SHOULD

PAY PROMPTLY,AS YOU SHOULD
President Gilbert Clark of the Mer-
chants Association says if the peo-
pie will pay their bills in reason
able time that goods could be sold
cheaper. Eternally right, Mr.. Clark.
The first of the month is the proper
time to pay and certainly by the
10th is the limit. So many people
put the collector off for no other rea-
son than a habit They should have
consideration for the people who
credit them and the agent who waits
upon them for the money. If mer-
chant is good enough to trust you
certainly he should not be made to
walk his legs off begging you to pay.
He needs his money to meet his
bills, and if the people would pay
promptly on the first Of the month
the merchants could sell cheaper.
Every man should make out his
monthly budget and have checks or
cash ready for the first, paying part
if not all. So many people try to
live beyond their incomes and buy
without taking Stock consequent
ly they are up against it the first of
the month. The system is all wrong
or rather some of the people have
made it so by seeing how long they
can keep the merchant waiting for
his money instead of taking a pleas
ure in trying to see how promptly
they can meet the obligation made
possible by an obliging merchant
