At THE LYRIC.

How far is character self-formed,
and how far is it Inevitably Inherited?
In her latest superpicture Florence
Reed, the emotional screen and stage
star, plays q dual role, First she por-
trays asstruggling young artist in the
Latin Quarter of Paris, with Its Bo-
hemian life and Bohemian love- She
falls into an error of conduct through
human frailty. Her infant daughter,
removed from every surrounding that
may have influenced her young
mother, is brought up and educated
in the luxurious environment Of New
York home. Reared and nourished
in totally different circumstances
from those of her mother, the young
girl yet repeats the identical error of
her parent.
Florence Reed, who incidentally
herself is reported to support many
of the theories and beliefs Of modern
thought, is stated to say that this
latest screen offering, Her Code of
Honor" is the best photoplay she has
ever done. The piece is widely her
aided as a story of startling interest
and has been much discussed for the
interesting question it presents as to
the share that heredity plays In the
determination OF human character.
Her Code of Honor" will be seen at
the Lyric theater today and tomorrow.
There will also be shown a "Ches-
ter outing picture of one reel.

ASK sl,2OO,OOO,OOO
FOR U. S. RAILROADS
Total Loss $4S6, 900, ,OO0-Cov-
ernment Faces Big Deficit in
Year and Five Months of
Public Control--Hines Says
Losses Are Directly Due to
the War-Will Not Raise
Rates to Meet Deficit.

To finance the railroads for the
balance of this year and to pay the
governments operating loss for Is
months up to this month, an appro-
priation of 81, ,200,000,0 900 was asked
of Congress by Director General
Hines More may be sought later if
the gex nrgsneaf continues TO lore
heavily in operation.
The $1,20O,000, 900 is in addition
to the $500,000, 900 appropriation by
the last Congress, and includes the
$3.50, 100000 which failed of appro-
priation when the session ended in a
filibuster.
Out of this appropriation, which
Congress will be asked to expedite,
railroads will be paid the sums due
them months ago as standard COM
pensation, and for which they have
accepted the railroad administration s
certificates of indebtedness. On Sc
curity of these certificates they have
borrowed from banks and the war
finance corporation to meet their
current corporate obligations in re-
cent months. This temporary system
of financing will be eliminated as
soon as Congress provides funds.
Approximately $486, 100000 repre-
sents the governments loss in oper-
ating the railroads from Jan. /, 1918.
when private control ended, and May
] last. This is the difference between
the sums for which the government
is obliged to pay the roads on con-
tracts and the net actual operating in.
come from operations. The balance.
or about $1,214,000,000, of the ST.
70O,0OO,O0O now appropriated or
sought, represents working capital to
be repaid to the government eventual
ly. This was explained by Mr.. Hines
in his request for the appropriation,
submitted to Congress through Secre-
tary Glass.
The deficit last year was $780,
$4,000, and in the first four months
this year the governments loss was
about $250,000, These. said Mr..
Hines, are clearly losses due to the
war and ought to be treated as such.
BY reason of the after the war fac
tors tending to important changes in
the situation, the estimate herewith
submitted does not attempt to fore
cast results beyond, the first four
months Of this calendar year"
The comment of the director gen
eral prompted belief the administra-
ton might have to call on Congress
for additional funds to make up a
future deficit. Such a situation might
be met by raising rates, but the di-
rector general has stated recently
that he does not wish to consider this
until opportunity has been given for
general business conditions, which
are reflected in traffic, to be restored
to more normal basis. This is in
terpreted as meaning that there prob
ably will be no rate advances before
next fall, and the director generals
attitude is that it may then be I'M
necessary TO raise them.

NOW HAVE GRAVEL ROAD FROM
HOLLY SPRINGS TO MEMPHIS

The laying of gravel on the link
of the Jefferson Davis Highway from
here to Red Banks has begun. The
road is now being put up to the prop
er grade and the contractors began
laying the gravel last Friday at the
First State Bank and viii push the
work to completion.
IN the meanwhile plans are being
made by the Commissioners to let q
contract for graveling the three-mile
link of this highway, that has not yet
been provided for. When this three
miles is completed we will then have
graveled road from Holly Springs
to Memphis.
1t Is very important that this part
of the road be provided for because
no road is better than the worst place
in it, These three miles are travelled
by the wagonettes to the Norfieet
High School and by people from all
of the west and northwestern part of
the county in coming to Holly Springs.
Since above was written the Com
missoners have let the contract to lay
gravel to the line of the third dis
trict which will complete gravel road

GREENWOOD DOCTOR
CHARGED WITH
BIG LAND FRAUD
DR.. B. d. Austin Under Arrest
--B. r. Purnell Declares He
Was Deceived Into Signing
Transfer of Property-Tho't
He Was Signing Affidavit.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May a..
b. ID. Austin Of Greenwood, Miss, Is
being detained in that city awaiting
the arrival of warrant issued at Leb-
anon, Tenn, and charging that the
signatureI of B. r. Purnell, a farmer
and dealer, was fradulently obtained
to a deed conveying DR.. Austin a
tract of Mississippi land valued at
100000. Purnell, who resides near
Lebanon, alleges that four men re-
Gently called at his home and one of
them falsely representing himself to
be federal officer, told him that he
was wanted here for his failure to
obey summons to appear before the
federal court. Purnell denied that he
had received any such summons and
alleges that thereupon he was told
that he must sign an affidavit to that
effect and a paper was presented to
him for his signature. Without read
ing it Purnell says he signed the pa
per, but later became suspicious of its
character and came to Nashville to
recover it, but in this undertaking he
failed.
A few days after Purnell signed the
paper his son, Charles Purnell, it is
alleged, received copy of deed
filed for record at Greenwood convey
ing the property to DR.. Austen, the
deed having been signed by Purnell
and by deputy sheriff of this coun-
ty as agent for DR.. Austin and two
other Nashville men as witnesses.
The copy showed, it is alleged, that
the deed was executed before Squire
Perry of Nashville
Convinced that the paper he had
signed was not an affidavit as repre-
sented by the deed filed at Green
wood, it is alleged, Purnell swore out
q warrant for the arrest of Dr. Aus
tin, and after requisition papers were
obtained from the governor he left
on Wednesday with a Tennessee off
Ger to bring Austin to this state.
Warrants for the arrest of the Nash
vile men alleged to be implicated in
the swindle are expected TO be issued
following the arrest of DIR. Austin.

Several cablegrams were received
from their soldier boys by parents in
this city last Friday, stating that Bat

United. States. The boys are due to
land on this side from June End to
June 5th.
How happy and glad we all are to
receive the good news of their return
to this country and how happy we all
win be when the gallant young sol
diers return to Water Valley
Battery A is the one unit IN which
Yalobusha County has more vital in
terest than any other one, owing to
fact that it Is composed of Yalobusha
hoys, officered by Yalobusha be vs.,

strictly Yalobusha County organiza
ton. Battery A was organized by
volunteer enlistment prior to any Sc
leetive draft measure, and has the
honor and distinction of being the
frst Battery organized in the state Of
Mississippi. The members are the
very best young men of the county,
and the excellent record made by the
organization not only reflects great
credit on the individuals who com
pose the organization, but the high

Battery A has honored Yalobusha
County and the state Of Mississippi

MUSIC CLASS RENDERS
EXCELLENT RECITAL

One Of the best recitals rendered
by any music class in this~city for
years, was presented by Miss Gladys
Clarke Hubbard's class in their public
recital at the School Auditorium Mon
day night
The auditorium was beautifully
decorated with potted flowers, ferns
and solid bank Of green ferns COW
cred with cut roses screened the en-
tire wall back of the rostrum.
The program consisted of 2S num-
bers, including the little tot Of six
years Of age up to the young girl
budding into young womanhood Ey-
cry performer in the entire program
acquitted themselves with credit and
deserves praise for their excellent
work Every member on the entire
program was a grand success and
greatly enjoyed by a large audience,
the spacious auditorium being filled
to its full capacity by relatives,
friends and interested citizens.
Miss Hubbard presented gold
medal to the pupil making the great
est gain during the term Little Miss
Mildred Tarver was awarded the med
al, but none of the other contenders
should feel very much disappointed as
there was only one medal and in the
writer's opinion all were medal win
'ners.
Miss Hubbard deserves great credit
for the most excellent showing made
by her class. Besides the excellent
manner in which each performer rem
dered her number on the program,
each pupil showed the careful and
painstaking training of their teacher.
The self assurance and positive and
confident manner in which each pupil
unhesitatingly stepped forward as
their number appeared on the pro-
gram, clearly demonstrated the con
fidence they had in their own ability
they knew they had been we'll train
ed and instructed.

SERGEANT YORK
GREATEST SOLDIER
In ALL HISTORY
Elder in the Church Outfought
Whole Company of Ger
mans--Simple Tennesseean
Honored Above all Others by
Appreciative Countrymen.

NEW YORK, May Sergeant
Alvin C. York, who received the Con-
gressional Medal Of Honor for the
mightiest single handed achievement
of the war, in which he killed twenty
Germans, took 1872 more prisoners
and put 36 enemy machine gun nests
out of business in the Argonne,
wound up day of unsuccessful ef-
fort to ''get into New York City's
subway" by hearing himself pro-
claimed the greatest soldier in his
tory" at dinner of the Tennessee
Society in his honor at the Waldorf
Astoria tonight. The second elder
of Church of Christian and Christian
Union in the little Tennessee village
of Pail Mall, on the lonely Wolf
river, was f1anked on either side at
the speakers table by Major General
George Duncan who commanded the
82nd, (All American) division in
which York fought, and Vice Admiral
Albert Gleaves, commander of the
Cruiser and transport force of the
navy who "sent him overseas and
brought him back" Not only that
but telegram from the Secretary of
War was read to him in which Mr..
Baker asked that his very sincerest
regards be personally conveyed to the
distinguished soldier"
York's toast was drunk standing,
sandwiched in between one to Presi-
dent Wilson and another to Major
General Duncan and so many times
was Sergeant York eulogized and
spoken to that he heard the toast
master hesitate as he started to in
troduce the 82nd divisions command
er as "Sergeant-er--er--er is
Major General Duncan" When il
came York's turn to stand up and ad-
dress the diners he showed modest
simplicity;
Il guess you all understand that
I'm just soldier and not speaker, =
he said. 'sI'm just a solder boy:
But | want to thank the society, and
General Duncan and | want you all
to know that what yon all have done
for me is highly appreciated and /
never shall forget it. Thank.you very
Today was one round of festivities
for Sergeant York From morning
until long after his regular bed
time" he was hurried about the city
in taxieabs, touring cars and limousi-
nes. He was shunted from one place
of interest and one reception to an.
other until "eating time" at the Wal.
dorf Astoria gave him a breathing
spell. Then he announced modestly
and with no offense intended that al
day long he just wanted to do one
thing: "Get into the subway"
That's one place / sure do want
to see, he sighed tonight" /" At din
ner York was hailed as ''The soldier
who had distinguished himself above
all others in the war, in the achieve.

in history"
The first words of the German me
