of the county on kitchen ware ma
terlal he will sell. He tells US that
ne spent the HOLIDAYS back in the
old home diggings of Coffee county,
Ala. which is border county to the
Georgia state line. He visited the
only living brother he has while up
there, which brother is seven teen
years his senior and fought all
through the civil war. They had no
storm there in July be found but
one in October. The boil weevil has
nterfered with cotton raising but
they aregoing to it on pinders and
get 81 a bushel and are making bet
ter money THAI on cotton. There
are crushing mills which buy the
peanuts to extract the oil and butter
therefrom SO there is as ready mar
ket as for the great staple cotton
which has previously been their
money crop.
On Tuesday Randall b. Cowart
was placed IN the county jail peuds
ing the making OF arrangement to
sending him to the state insane asy
lum. He is about fifty years old, is
resident of that part of the county
below Leaf and has recently begin to
show more and more mental unbal-
ance. and the citizens became alarm
ed when he got shotgun recently
and decided it would be best to turn
him over to the authorities in order
taat he might be sent on to have spe-
cialist treatment under state auspi-
ces for the restoration of his mental
faculties.

There Is no reason why state de-

character should not make a most
credita' e showing at the Exposition.
In some instances funds may be some

serving official Will always find way
II he Is really interesed.
= There is not county or community
In the state of Mississippi that cannot
share in the benefits to be derived
from the Exposition If they will only
make the effort. The investment will
be nominal and the profits sufficient
TO warrant the greatest effort The
county too poor to give It a trial will
a ways be too poor. Prosperity comes

after 1t with determination to

The Centennial Exposition In Kan
sas was the beginning of great era
of Prosperity for that state, which con-
tinues to the present day. The Elk
position can do as much, or more, for
the State OF Mississippi il the people
will take an interest and insure the
success its Importance deserves.

The Spirit that Wins
THE grim earnestness with which

THE grim earnestness with which
l these French youngsters set
about putting their mimic gun in
position typihes the spirit of France
to-day-the spirit of Verdun, and
the poilus who died to make glo-
riously true their spoken defiance,
They shall not pass.
The volatile, changeable, laughter
loving France of yesteryear has
been transformed by war suffering
and sacrifice into a nation calmly
but surely determined on driving
out the despoilers and reclairning
Its own.
New-York tribune., 1917-12-16
La MarseiLaise

THERE is nothing in all France
l which has not been touched
by the wings Of war. Even the
play of the children takes its in
spiration from the stories of le
pere back from the front for his
few days rest" French patriot
ism, undying enthusiasm, and the
will to win are summed up in this
picture of les enfants marching
their eyes fixed on their glorious
tricolor; the pulse-stirring Marseil-
laise pouring from each little
throat.

COUNTIES ARE En-.
OEBTED TO STATE

Bismarck, N. D., May pa day
of reckoning is at hand for counties
which have been foisting insane pa
tients on the state. There Is due
the state for patients maintained at
the jamestown hospital by the state
$4,000. The counties which owe
this amount will be checked up and
called upon to stand and deliver.
Some counties have evaded their re-
sponsibilities for three, or four
years, and the state has borne the
burden. AS a result. the funds ap-
for the maintenance of
~patients justly charged to the state
are being depleted.
An emergency session of the state
auditing board and the board OF
control is being held this afternoon
The state auditor has served notice
that the state will no longer pay
for the care Of patients who should
be maintained by the counties from
which they were committed and
some solution is being sought in to-
days session for this vexing prob
lem.

Oscar Olson, a brother Of J. O.
Norlin of this city; who recently en-
listed in the aviation corps Of the
United States Army, came down
from Ambrose last Monday evening
to visit for a day with his brother
here and parents west Of town be-
fore leaving for Minot where he
will receive Instructions and trans
portation to the station where he
will be assigned. Several weeks
ago he underwent a very severe
physical examination at MinOt and
passed same with 100 per cent per-
feet. He expects to undergo an
other, even more severe examina-
tion at Minneapolis before finally
being assigned to the training sta
ton. Oscar is young man Of con-
siderable ability in the mechanical
line, and it has always been his
greatest ambition to be bird man
ever since he saw an aeroplane go
up in the air. Trere Is no Ques-
ton but what he will make good
in the service, and he has the best
wishes of all his friends here.

Assistant Attorney General Brer-

have been issued for the arrest OF
persons charged with selling cigar

The above is summary OF the
events of the past week. Minot
undoubtedly is getting a good deal
of unfavorable advertising, more
than our fair city deserves. The
Independent trusts that the matters
will be cleared up at an early date.
the violators found guilty and pun
ished and the innocent ones who are
charged with various offenses, freed
of the charge.
Attorney General LANCER appear

protected by body guard of three
members Of the state militia. He
aroused Judge Murray from his
bed, submitted to arrest and re-
turned at once to Bismarck, escort

conducted by coroner e. A. Shipp.
Miss McVey and fellow-employe
Miss Rose Kuntz, left the laundry at
8 O'Clock and started across the
tracks by a short cut leading from
the Hughes electric light plant. Two
strings of cars we're standing On the
siding, and there was barely space
between the couplings to permit the
girls to get through by turning
sidewise. Miss Kuntz had just
made the passage in safety. when
there was crash, and Miss McVey
screamed, as the cars closed in on
her. Miss Kuntz grasped her COM
panion's arm in an effort to extri-
cate her, but the couplings held her
fast, and not until the section of
the train to which the engine was
attached had been moved, was the
mangled form released. BY this
time a doctor had. arrived, but a
casual examination of the dying girl
proved her beyond earthly aid. The
young woman died as she was be-
ing carried to the Northern Pacific
station.
The accident resulted when the
switch engine coupled onto the
string Of cars at the west of the
break. The rebound from this
slight jar moved the cars just far
enough to close the gap, and it
came at the very moment when
Miss McVey was threading the pas
sage.
