left hand slipped and caught under the
revolving rollers which wound her hand
and arm into the moving machine. The
timely arrival of MIR. Edw. Settler the
college engineer, who stopped the motor
that drives the machine is practically the
only thing that saved the Young lady
from having her arm torn off. So tight
ly was Miss Miller's arm drawn under
the safety arm of the mandrel that il
was necessary for Mr.. Settler to disen-
semble part of the machine to free the
arm of the young lady. Miss Miller
three finger nails on her left hand were
torn off. DR.. Jamison rendered medica
aid and reported no bones broken.

The JOY OF Living.

To enjoy life we must have good health.
No one can reasonably hope to get much
real pleasure out of life when his bowels
are clogged good share of the time and
the poisons that should be expelled are
absorbed into the system, producing
headache and Indigestion. A few doses
of Chamberlain Tablets will move the
bowels, strengthen the digestion and
give you chance to realize the real joy
of living. Try it.

TRUCKS REDUCE
BUILDING COST
Experiments of County Hauling Ma
terial In Leake County
Prove Successful.

The State HIGHWAY Department is
making experiments in Leake county
under tie supervision of D. W. ROD
bins, state highway commissioner.
Ten of the government trucks are be-
ing used to haul surfacing material,
and an accurate record of cost is be-
ing kept.
Contractors are bidding high for
road construction at this time, anu
these experiments are being conducted
with the view OF making recon me tld:t-
tions TO counules and districts to do
the work under their own official su-
pervisIon, with equipment to be pu--
chased by them, and in connection with
trucks furnished by the government.
X. A. Kramer, state highway engl-
neer, has received advices from Rob-
bins as follows:
"The first two weeks of work we
hauled six hundred and twenty-one
tons of PIT lun Novaculite, eleven and
one half miles, and placed it on the
road and kept it dragged until it set
up, for a net cost of $1.33 per ton. The
following month we hauled 1856 tons
of the same material, twelve miles at
an average cost Of $1.70 per ton. The
third month, we hauled 1876 tons OF
light material five miles at an average
cost of $1.13 per ton. These prices
include expenses of upkeep of truck,
which was more than it would have
been under ordinary conditions, for we
used four of the trucks that came to
us with rotten tires on them, and
the tires had to be replaced all round.
"The price mentioned also includes
the unloading of the gravel, prepara-
ton of the sub-grade, and the keep
ing up of the surfacing material un-
til it set up. We did not roll the sun-
facing material"
Mr.. Kramer advised Mr.. Robbins
that the foregoing costs were approx
mately one-fifth of what contractors
are asking to do similar work and
these figures should be of great in
terest oroad district and county Of
ficials.

OH0RD OUTPLAYS
HOLLY SPRINGS
Wins Hxciting Game, 1926. Falkner
Kicks Two Field Goals. To Play
Second Game Friday.

In the game with Holly Springs
High School last Friday afternoon at
Holly Springs, Oxford encountered a
faster and much scrappier team than
in the game with Water Valley. Go
ing into the game with full confidence
as the the result, confirmed in sthis
feelingSby the lack of training the op-
ponents showed and by the ease with
which the first touchdown was made,
the Oxford lads were i'll prepared for
the ferocious spirit Of fight which the
Hollies sprang on them in the second
quarter. Though short on training
the whole Holly Springs team was
long on fight, and they held their op-
ponents once for downs within yard
Of their goal line and twice for the
alternative Of trying a field goal or
surrendering the ball.
The Holly Springs team, which had
been developing defensive strength in
the second and third quarters, was
able in the fourth quarter to develop
enough offensive power to score a
touchdown, Robson taking the ball
across after a series Of successful
passes.
As in the Water Valley game, the
Oxford boys were outplayed by their
opponents in the forward pass phase.
There was some improvement, how
ever, in their ability to break us this
play, and they succeeded in executing
several pretty passes themselves on
new forward pass play which they had
learned since the Water Valley exper-
ience.
The lineup for Oxford was: Brown,
Smith, Z. E; Mitchell. l. T.; valrie
Metts, Z. c.; Scott, G.; Ramey, Wor-
ley, r. H.; Metts, (C.) F. B.; Elliott,

MANY STILLS
IN THE STATE
Federal Officials Say That They Are
Up Against Very Tough
Proposition.

Federal officials in Mississippi are
beginning to realize that they are up
against lalg size job in their effort
to suppress moonshining in some of
the counties of this state.
One deputy revenue agent who has
captured 38 stills since the LIST of July,
frankly admits that the territory he
covered is far from being cleansed of
the wildcatters-in fact, he has hit it
only in high spots.
Moonshining does not seem to be
confined to. any particular section OF
the state Up until few months ago
the moonshine distilleries existed
chiefly in interior hill counties like
Leakc, Winston and Neshoba, but they
are now appearing in all sections, even
the delta contributing it's quota.
The stills, in nearly all instances,
are small affairs, operated chiefly tu
furnish booze supply for home OF
community consumption, and their
owners do not appear to be engaging
in the business for profit, but chiefly
to satisfy their own thirsts. 1t is
this class of stills, according to the
revenue officers, that are hardest to
find and suppress.
