LETTER FROM JACKSON
jackson, Miss, Feb. 20, 1918

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 20, 1918
Tupelo Journal:
1 The all absorbing topic in the leg
islature still is the impeachment
charges against DR.. R. M. Butler, who
has been superintendent of the Mis-
~sissippi Insane Hospital since April,
1916, under appointment of Cover
nor Bilbo. The impeachment charges
were filed with the Senate on Thurs
lday of last week. An effort vas made
to fix a day to begin the trial in the
Senate but friends of Gov. Bilbo and
DR.. Butler began trying to delay the
trial and succeeded in delaying taking
up the case until this Wednesday
morning. Yesterday, however, DR..
Butler resigned and the Governor ap-
pointed DR.. c.. D.. Mitchell, of Pom
totoc, as superintendent for the I'M
expired term and also for the full
term of four years from May 8, 1918.
DIR. Mitchell has accepted.
This morning Mr.. Howerton intro
duced a resolution in the House seek
ING to direct the House managers,
who were selected to prosecute the
impeachment charges against DR..
Butler before the Senate to dismiss
the proceedings. The House voted
down the Howerton resolution and
instead adopted a resolution by Oscar
Johnson of Coahoma county, calling
on the Governor, if he so desired to
send in a message assuring the House
that he would not under any circum-
stances reappoint DR.. Butler. This
resolution was adopted by a large
majority. The members of the House
felt like they could not recede from
their former proposition, as they were
right in the first place. They wanted
assurance that Butler was out for all
time, and also felt that he should be
required to refund to the state the
amount of the value of the states
property that he had converted to his
own use.
While these proceedings were going
on on the floor of the House Gov.
Bilbo sat in the speakers stand and
was an interested spectator. Hurried
efforts were made to get the Senate
to bring in it's resolution informing
the House that it was ready to try
DR.. Butler.
The Senate committee appeared
about IL o'clock with this resolution
which was read before the House.
Notwithstanding this the House held
to it's original intention Of having
the records kept straight and the
Johnson resolution was passed by a
large majority. 81
DR.. Mitchell is we'll known in the
state as a physician of firm ability and
one in whom every faith may he
placed that the asylum will be nj
aged efficiently and humaneIE

PASSES FIFTY MILLION

Copy of telegram received by J. T.
Thomas, State Director of Mississippi
washington, D. c., Feb. Is, 1918
"War Savings Stamp sales today
passed fifty million dollar mark and
sales have been running at the rate
of more than two million a day. The
steadily growing volume of savings
placed at the service of the nation by
millions of citizens is splendid evil
dence of your effective work. Bust
ness as usual is a wholly wrong
theory-in war tins. 1t is only by
teaching the people to save and not
to compete for labor and materials
with the government that we can put
the whole strength of the nation into
this war. This is not only our most
important contribution to the war
but it is the SUR way to raise the re-
CURED money. In the next few weeks
we and our entire organization of
nearly two hundred thousand workers
must make it our common purpose
and resolve to spread this gospel so
that there will be a militant army of
war savers to put War Savings Ger
t~ificates and the next Liberty Loan
over the top.
"F. A. Vanderbilt"
The Tupelo journal., 1918-02-22

the buying Of War Savings Certifi-
Gates and Thrift Stamps is such a
very great necessity nowadays. The
nation that is able to supply the last
few millions of dollars is the nation
that is going to win the war. And
the United States is going to be that
Nation if her people will cooperate
with the Government by exercising
the most careful thrift and never
spend money needlessly or without
obtaining good return for it.
Let every American decide both as
a patriotic and a personal duty that
the year 1918 will inaugurate for him
or her a definite policy of intelligent
and practical thrift and economy that
will avoid all waste and extravaganza
and that will show practical results
in the steady increasing of the money
resources of the nation.
There is no safer guide for true
thrift than careful spending, the
avoiding moth of miserliness on the
one hand and extravaganza on the
other, and seeing to it that not a sin
gle dollar is allowed to remain idle
an unnecessary day.
In this great work of modifying the
financial resources of the country
with the aid of the banks every n
can do something to help.
The pennies Of the children are
needed just as much a. the dollars
of the grown folks and when, in the
happy future, the a is won and the
world is made safe for civilization and
democracy, each person will be able to
feel that even if he did not go into
in the field he at least did his
share by exercising thrift and helping
his country to have on hand at all
times the necessary money with which
win the war.-EX.

THAT rs CENTS WILL DO

Back of all the work of the cam
paign for War Savings, being con-
Quoted throughout the entire state at
this time, is the desire to convert a
spendthrift nation into a nation OF
thrift and saving. The workers en-
gagged in this campaign are, there
fore, performing not only a patriotic
duty but are sowing seeds of thrift
that in years to come will yield a gol-
den harvest.
The average business man is much
inclined to undervalue the penny, and
even the twenty-five cent piece. 1t
is the big things that appeal more
strongly to all. To sell a 25 cent
Thrift Stamp seems small, but that
the results are of vital Importance is
evidenced by a report issued by the
War Department in regard to what
may be purchased by the proceeds of
the sale of Thrift and Wal Savings
Stamps, as follows:
"a single Thrift Stamps cents
will buy a tent pole or five tent
pins, a waist belt or hat cord, shoe
laces and identification tags; two
Thrift Stamps will buy one trench
tool, one pair of wooden gloves; four
Thrift Stamps will buy two pairs OF
canvas leggins; six Thrift Stamps
$3.50 will buy five pairs of wooden
socks, three pairs summer drawers,
summer undershirts; IL Thrift
Stamps will buy a steel helmet to
protect some soldier at the front;
one War Savings Stamp will buy 100
cartridges, another will buy a car
fridge belt, a scabbard for a bayo-
net; four War Savings Stamps will
buy a rifle for some soldier at the
front fighting for the cause of liberty;
three and one-half War Savings
Stamps will buy three pairs of wool
en- blankets for the comfort of the
man in the trenches and two and
one-half War Savings Stamps will buy
a gas mask for the protection of
some mothers boy from the deadly
attack of gas; three War Savings
Stamps will buy an overcoat or two
wooden service coats. Two Wal Saw
ings Stamps will purchase two pairs
of Wooden breeches or two flannel
shirts.

]. T. WALTON.

The community was shocked Sun
day morning upon receiving the an
nouncement that Mr.. Tom Walton
had died suddenly at his residence on
Court street. On Saturday Mr.. Wal
ton was at his place of business,
where he remained until ten o'clock
at night, and upon going home he
read until one o'clock before retiring.
He was in his usual health Sunday
morning and between sever and eight
o'clock his wife left the DON for a
short while, and returning found that
Mr.. Walton had expired.
Deceased had suffered several
years ago from heart affection, but
Of late had been in his usual health.
j. T. Walton was born May 1S,
1854, in Franklin, Tenn. When an
infant he moved with his parents to
Itawamba county, where he grew to
manhood. on his fathers farm. His
education was received in the schools
of that day. On July 4th, 1875, he
was married to Miss Elizabeth Shelf
field and from the union seven chill
dren were born. About this time
Mr.. Walton began the mercantile
business on his farm, afterwards
moving to Fulton, where he continued
business a number of years. About
eighteen years ago he moved to Tu-
pelo, since which time he had con-
tinued in the business with his son,
C. G. Walton.
Mr.. Walton was a man OF splendid
business ability, and his judgment was
of the highest order. He was sue
cessful from beginning and soon OBJ
tanned a competency. In his business
life he was liberal with his customers,
but every detail was closely looked
after. He was a man Of irreproach-
able character. He zealously guard
ed the interest of his family and was
devoted and kind in the highest de-
gree. For many years he was a con-
sistent member of the Methodist
church. Mr.. Walton was married
twice, from the first marriage seven
children survive, c. G. Walton, and
Tom Walton, Of Tupelo, and Charles
Walton, Of st. Louis. Four daught-
ers, Mrs. A. G. Waldrop, Mrs. R. 2.

WILL THE BOIL WEEVIL BE AC.
TIVE IN 1918

In reply to the questionings now
in the minds of the farmers of Mis-
sissippi regarding the boil weevil sit
uation for the coming year, r. w.
Harmed, head Of the entomology de-
partment of the Mississippi A. and
M. College, gives out for the benefit
of Mississippi farmers the following
opinion Of DIR. W. D. Hunter of the
Bureau of Entomology of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
GIN the northern portion of the ter
infested by the cotton boil
weevil there has been considerable
discussion of the probability
of injury by this pest during the COM
ing season. The temperature have
been lower than at any time Size
1899, and the impression has been
gained by many planters that the boil
weevil has been reduced to negligible
number, If not altogether exterminat-
ed. This seems to be having the eff
feet in some quarters of increasing
the cotton acreage. In the opinion Of
the Department of Agriculture, it
would be very unfortunate if the boil
weevil situation should be the cause
of any increase in the acreage in cot
ton. At the present time what is
most urgently needed throughout the
South is the increased production Of
food and feed crops. There is ev-
cry indication that the normal acre
age in cotton will give a supply of the
sufficient for all purposes. 1t
is therefore clearly a matter of pa
triotism as we'll as sound judgment
for the planters to increase the acre
age of food crops rather than in cot
ton.
GAS far as the boil weevil is con-
cerned, no reliable prediction can be
made on the basis of what happened
the winter. Frequently sea-
sons in which very few weevils pass
ed the winter have been followed by
great injury to the crop by the wee
vii. This has been due to the fact
heavy rains during the early
part of the growing season have made
the conditions so favorable for the
Weevil that they have more than oy-
srcome their losses during the win
ter. 1t is altogether likely that in
specially sheltered situations, even in
the Northern Mississippi Delta, a few
weevils will be able to survive.
whether they multiply to such an ex-
tent as to reduce the crop materially
will depend on subsequent conditions,
cannot be foretold. There
fore the planter who increases his
acreage can by no means tell
that his crop will not suffer greatly
from the boil weevil attack, but he
is utilizing his land in a way which
does not best serve the interests of
the country"

THRIFT STAMPS AND WAR saw
INCS CERTIFICATES.

Now that we are in the midst of the
greatest war known to history it is
very evident that in order TO win we
must do everything possible to con-
serve and utilize our resources to the
fullest possible extent.
There is just one way in which this
can be done successfully and that is
by one practicing steady and syste-
matte thrift and economy.
It has been said that the success
OF this war depends upon Men, Ma
terials and Money and in order that
the first two shall be successfully
used there must be an unlimited sup
ply of the third.
Money is more than ever the sin
ews of war and it is to the United
States and what the rest of the world
looks to shoulder the greatest share
of the financial burden.
America is fully able to undertake
this great responsibility. In fact, it
has already undertaken it and now
looks to her people to cooperate to
the fullest extent in order to make
good her undertaking.
When we consider that this great
and wealthy country actually has by
far the smallest number OF savings
bank deposits per capita of any of
the leading countries in the world we
can very readily see what a/vast OPP
~portunity exists for increased thrift
and systematic saving.
To quote the actual figures, out of
every thousand inhabitants, New Zea-
land has $50 savers, France 346, the
United States 80.
1t is, of course, easy to understand
why heretofore the people of Amer
lea have been rather careless in this
important matter, Money is so much
easier to get here than it is in Europe
work at good wages is fairly easy to
find and consequently the average
American has not been in the habit
of thinking seriously enough OF the
future.
He thinks that when one dollar is
gone there will always be another to
take its place. He is inclined to feel
that no matter what may happen ne
can get a good position and earn good
money. Consequently, what is the use
Of denying himself pleasure and saw
ing up money for some n else to
spend?
Now, however, the people of Ameri-
ca are confronted with a very diff
ferent set of conditions. Peace and
var are as wide apart as the poles
and the easygoing, care-free methods
that appeared to be all right during
time Of peace have~gone forever, and
are replaced by the stern necessities
of war.
That is why systematic thrift and
