CRIME UNEARTHED
After One Year Guilty Party
Makes Confession

Ben Hodson, son.in-law Of Tom
Carter, of the Fifth district of this
county, about one year ago last
April, left his home for Arkansas
to look after some property be-
lieved to belong to his wife's fam
ily. Mr.. Hodson did not return
and persistent inquiry brought no
information Of bis whereabouts.
It was believed that he was foulIy
treated, but no proof could be had.
Soqle charred bones were found
in the community where he was
last seen, but that was onty con-
sidered as an unusual incident and
nothing more.
II now develops that Mr.. Hold.
son was killed and his body burned
and the charred homes were his.
A man was recently arrested in
that Arkansas community, who,
we understand, made confession,
admitting Chat he killed Hodson
and burned his body. He claims,
however, that he WIS hired 70 per-

AMERICANS KILLED

ing, resulting in killing three Amer
leans, wounding five and capturing
twelve. The injury done to the
Germans is not known. One
wounded German was captured.
The official statement issued by
the war department is as follows:
The war department has re-
ceived dispatch from the COM
nanding general Of the American
expeditionary forces, which states
that before day light, November 3,
n salient occupied for instruction
by a company of American infan-
try Was raided BY Germans, The
enemy put down q heavy barrage
fire, cutting off the salient from
the rest of the men. Our losses
were three killed, tive wounded
aud IL captured or missing. The
enemy's losses are not known.
One wounded German was taken
prisoner.
This is our soldiers first hap
tism of fire'. They were sent to
what was called quiet portion of
the long line in the east end near
the Lorraine border, and placed in
front trenches to get training and
experience. The incident was one
of such small consequence COM
pared with the great events of the
war that it would likely have re-
ceived no attention, and certainly
not have been reported in the ca
bles, if the troops attacked bad
not been Americans. Such Skin
mishes probably occur daily at
different points on the extended
battle fronts without receiving
even brief mention in the news

reports.
We may expect many and fire. /

j. SAM JOHNSON

The Carroll County Agricultural
fair last week, as planned and con-
Quoted by our county agents, was
an unqualified success, and we are
still nearing from it. There was
aroused a spirit of friendly rivalry
between the communities partici-
pating and from now on they plan
to work to make their part of the
county show up to advantage with
the result that all are boosting

contained therein. and to make ad
ditional comment that no jurist il
Tennessee has a better record in
the supreme and appellate courts
of the state than has Judge Ross.
The files ia the supreme court at
jackson will show that 10 nineteen
cases out of every twenty decisions
in cases coming up from Chan
cellor Ross division the two high
courts have affirmed the DEGREES
of the lower court. To our mind
this is real test of judges abil-
ity on the bench.
We have had the opportunity
during the past three or four years
to observe very closely the trend
of all cases coming up in both
high courts at the West Tennessee
sitting; and the uniformity with
which these two tribunals have af-
firmed the decisions of the Judge
of the twelfth chancery division
gives Chancellor Ross a record
that is not surpassed 10 Tennessee.
We say very frankly that the
people of this chancery division
have an exceptionally strong man
on the bench and we hope that he
viii be returned to Office without
opposition. - Jackson Sun, Sep
tember 80, 1917.

Our country needs you, need,
your money and needs your coop
Grafton in her struggle for exist
ence in the great world war now
raging in Europe.
Our boys in the trenches must
be clothed and fed. They must b.
provided with good guns with
which to fight our battles. When
not engaged in bloody carnage
they need every safeguard for
their moral protection we car
throw around them. That is the
purpose of the Army Young Mems
Christian Association. 1t is foI
their physical, moral, mental and
religious well-being. II takes
money TO carry on this great work.
We must have THIRTY-FIVE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS right

ton of our boys in the trenches.
We want and we must have your
help. Carroll county ) portion Of

returning home from the trenches.
Many who do live TO get back :
may have a leg or an arm shot off
or their eyes destroyed by poison
Gus gases, but II they return to US
as pure morally, manned though
they be, as they were when we
sent them to the war we can re-
ceive them to the bosom of the {

Women Attack Butcher Shops.

Chicago, March 30.-Hundreds
of policemen were detailed today
to protect the meat markets and
groceries in the west side Ghetto,
which were attacked yesterday
by angry crowds composed most.
ly of women, who protested
against the high prices of food.
Armed with stones and kero.
sene, which they poured over
meat, the women attacked the
Koshet butchers, who they said
we're chiefly responsible for the
high prices. Windows were
shattered and hundreds ofpounds
of food stuffs destroyed.
Women who entered the shops
to make purchases were seized,
their clothing torn and their par
cells taken from them and thrown
| into the street. The rioting be-
gan early yesterday and kept up
until the markets closed late at
night.
It is said that a boycott of all
Kosher butchers in the city has
been planned for today and to
prevent rioting such as took place
last night, when more than 30
persons we're arrested, police Of
ficials early today sent mounted
and motorcycle squads to the con-
gested districts Of the west side
where crowds are likely to con-
gregate.
1t was said by the police that
the disturbance was not due so
much to inability of the rioters tc
buy food as to their desire to
lower prices by keeping Others
from obtaining lit and thus in.
creasing the supply.

Mistake to Destroy Vats.

DR.. E. P. Flower, head of the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board
after receiving news Of the blow
ing up of several dipping vats in
Washington Parish and else
where, said Friday that # people
who are making all this trouble
only would stop to think they
would realize they are making
more trouble for themselves than
for anyone else. The law stands,
he said, and if a man destroys
the vat nearest him he will be
forced to drive his stock to the
next nearestv vat and dip them
Just as often, no matter how far
away the vat may be. He ex-
planned that in working out their
placing of vats the tick eradictors
were careful to locate them sc
that no one stock raiser wonld be
more than three miles from a vat
The board, he says, has done
and is doing everything possible
to make the enforcement of the
law as easy as possible on al
concerned; but he asserts thu
law will be enforced regardless
He says these men also forget
they can be handled severely fol
destroying parish property.

Costs Outstrip Wages.

Washington, March 30.-The
annual food bill of the average
family has grown from $3.50 80 in
1918 to A25.54 at present, the
Department Of Labor announces
in a review of food prices. In
ten years, the departments ex.
perts estimates, the advance in
the cost of food has so far out
stripped wage increases that the
workman who drew So day in
1907 now finds himself just 50
cents a day worse off.
The heaviest increase in food
prices during the last four years
is shown in potatoes, the cost of
which has risen from $18.96 to
s44.69. Other large increases
are in eggs, from $33.01 to $43.O7;
flour, S15.12 to S35.4O; butter
S45.72 to S54.78. Of the whole
list of food only sirloin and
round steak are cheaper than
five years ago.
In the period from Jan. Is to
Feb. Is food prices took a 4 pei
cent jump. Onions led with a II
per cent increase. Potatoes wen
up 80 per cent. Eggs alone de.
creased in price.
1t is estimated that if dollars
worth ssof food bought in 19o'
weighed ten pounds, it woult
weigh today a tr;fle more thai
seven pounds.
