more job than rabbit unless be kisses

much is certain, says the Post Herald
# April l3. Even should he salute the
Itares and Stripes under cOmpulson it
is more than likely that he will be sent

Back of this is story of vibrant
Americanism among the workers en-
nloyed by the big locdl plant, and their
flat refusal to "work with any Hun
any longer than is necessary" Incl
dentally the policy of the management
# the Iron Works and the feelings Of
the employees run hand in hand.

1t all started many months ago,
about the time the United States
threw herself into the war against the
Blond Beasts, and it came to crisis
last Saturday morning when, with n
contrmDtuous wave of his hand Kruck
refused to stand at attention in honor
Of Old Glory. and as a salute to the
cause of tho United States. 1t is true
that he did not have the nerve to come
out straight and declare himself but
claimed TO have been Overtaken with II
sudden illness, somethin' the matter

Mr. Shepherd, "and gotto go home
and lie down"
This was shortly before nine o'cl0ck,
and Mr.. Shepherd, unsuspecting at the

look sick to me, but If you don t feel
we'll, finish this bit Of work you have

task and at ten minutes to ten o'cloc k

employees of the works, d. A. White,

called to him, pointing at the time to
the folds Of the Flag flying above tn"
plant. 1t was then that Kruek gave
himself away. With a contemptuous
gesture Kruck shook his fist at the
Flag, climbed into the taxi and dis,
appeared.
! Then the wrath Of the plant broke
out. 1t got worse later in the day
when Ahin All Fook, timekeeper for
the office, saw Kruck up town, call

letter was received by Mr.. Robin
son:
u. S. S. GEORGE WASHINGTON
Office of the Chaplain.


Mr.. julius A. Robinson,
Brandon, Miss.
My dear Mr.. ROBINSON
It is my sad duty to communi-
cate to you the circumstances of
the death of your son julius of
which you have already been in
formed by telegraph. He with
his comrades embarked on our
ship for France at a time when
the Spanish influenza was so
widely prevalent in the camps at
home. 1t was inevitable that
some should suffer from it after
we left port. Among these was
your son and in his case pneumo-
MIA developed.
In spite Of the very best atten-
ton on the part Of the navy and
army doctors on the ship and the
unceasing care of nurses also en-
route his condition became worse
until death resulted at 1885 p.
M, on October 9Th.
Because of the attending fever
his last hours were passed in un-
consciousness and ! have no mes
sage from him to convey to you.
Upon our arrival at the French
port his body was removed for
burial on land. The exact place
will probably be made known to
you in due course of time. His
personal effects will be forward
ed to you in the near future.
1t may be of some consolation
to you to understand that his
death occurred in the line of du-
ty, and that he had already come
in contact with the enemy for we
had passed through the danger
zone in which submarines were
operating. Although he died be-
fore actually reaching the field of
battle it was not in vain for his
life was given as part of the cost
of transporting his comrades to
those battlefelds and they will be
inspired to greater deeds of valor
by his memory when they get
there.
Accept my heartfelt sympathy
in your deep lost.
Very sincerely.
P. F. BLOOMHARDT,
Chaplain, U. S. Navy.

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

Brandon, Miss, Oct. 80, 1915
| am informed that in some COM
munities in this county that some
parties are circulating false re-
port among the colored people, es-
pecially those who have bought
War Savings Stamps, telling them
that the stamps are worthless.
And these same persons who are
circulating the report are buying
all the stamps they can at a dis
count, and in some cases at a
very small per cent.
Every person who knows of
such, it is your patriotic duty to
report same to me at once. Il re-
quest that every patriotic person
in the county make an investiga-
ton in their respective commune
ties and if anything like the a.
bove is found, report same to me
as soon as possible.
And if you find any person who
has invested, and through dire
necessity needs his money, ex-
plain to him or them how they can
get the full amount invested.
And to those who have invested
and do not have to have their
money, tell them all about their
investment, the best and safest in
the world, and also that they are
doing their patriotic duty to in
vest in these War Savings Stamps.
Yours respectfully,
G. A. HARRISON,
County Director.

STAND BY THE NOMINEES.

Next Tuesday is the election,
and The News desires to impress
upon our people the Importance
Of attending and casting their
votes for the nominees of the
Democratic party. While in our
state a nomination is equivalent
to an election, still it is the duty
of Democrats to go to the polls
and vote for the nominees. It will
be seen that there are two names
on the ticket, S. w. Rose for Sena-
tor, and w. T. Roberts for Con-
gress, in opposition to the regular
nominees. We judge they are So
cialists-we know they are enc
mics to Democracy, and should be
so treated by every true man who
has the interest of his state and
country at heart. Our President
has asked for a return to Con-
gress of true and tried men upon
whom the country can rely; the
Democrats have made a.fine rec
ord, and should be endorsed. The
Republicans are making mean,
bloody-shirt fight-even worse
than in the olden time, in their
eagerness-to get back into power;
they say the South is in the saddle
and dominates the country; they
are appealing to the basest preju-
dices Of the Northern people, try
ing again to open up ola wounds
we thought healed, even charging
that we are not doing our duty in
the war; that Southern losses on
the battle front are not compare
BILE to those of Northern States;
trafficing in the blood of our sol
diers in their mad effort to in
crease the Republican majority in
Congress; heaping abuse uron
our President, because he is
Southern man. All Of our people
who desire the success of Denpc-
racy, who wish to hold up che
hands of our venerated President,
should rebuke this Republican at
tempt to return to power by such
contemplate means, and should
register their disapproval at The
polls Tuesday.
The Constitutional Amendments
should be voted against. The age
limit for Governor should be left
as now provided; the radical
change in the tax amendnait is
dangerous, and should be CAREFUL
ly considered. A good plan to
let the Constitution stand. i vas
built by some of the states grand
est intellects, and should only be
changed on new conditions.
Go to the polls, vote for the
nominees of the party, and give
the ticket such rlajoritp that
the Republicans will understand
you stand not only by ycpf action
in the primaries, but thst you en-
dorse the action Of Congress, and
stand by the President-|
the greatest man to-day in the
country.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

Don't let the late season bluff
you from planting your fall oats.
A good oat crop is as essential as
a good corn crop, and great deal
cheaper.
Remember your wheat patch.
Don't go back on your patriotism,
for you might miss it about break
fast time some morning next year.
Now that fall is here and crops
are about gathered, you should
see that your hill land is protect
ed from the washing winter rains.
1t is fact that erosion has done
more damage to the hill land Of
the country than any one agent.
This can, and should be prevented
by planting winter crop and by
terracing. Don't put this matter
off another year.
The winter weather will do
more damage to your farm tools
and implements than all this sea-
sons use. BY all means, get them
under the shelter.
Are you sure that you have
been buying fertilizer that con-
tains the elemtns in which your
soil is deficient? You should be
as skilled in selecting the proper
fertilizers for your land as ply
stefan in prescribing medicine for
a patient. Get busy and secure
all the information you can along
this particular line for it means
dollars to you. / will be glad to
advise with you to this end.
The sweet potato crop is much
better than was expected; now it
is up to every man to keep his po-
tatoes through the winter. The
excessive wet weather this fall
has caused the potatoes to lie more
sappy than usual, and therefore
they will be more liable to rot.
You should watch this carefully
and See that your potatoes are
well cured before closing the
house or bank.
If you have logs, cattle. pota-
Toes, molasses or peas to market
comparatively, call on me and /
will assist you in securing the top
market price for your product.
We will begin Shipping sweet
potatoes from Star Tue sday, No
vember 9Th. Only yellow YEN va
rieties are marketable in car lots.
Use your county ager. It is q
pleasure to serve you when bene-
fit can be derived
