GATES R. WOOD ANNOUNCES
FOR COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR

Mr.. Gates r. Wood of Water Val
lev authorizes this paper to announce
his candidacy for County Tax Asses
-sor, subject to the will of the voters
in the August primaries.
Mr.. Wood is we'll and most favor
ably known in all parts of Yalobusha
County where he has lived practical
ly all his lifetime. At present he is
City Tax Assessor which position he
has held for number of years. He
has made Water Valley most ex-
cellent tax assessor as his reelection
to the position for seven terms clear
ly proves his capability and efficiency.
He also has served the city as Clerk
of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
and Police Justice where his clerical
and executive ability made him most
valuable official for the city.
MIR. Wood comes before the peo-
pie strictly on his merit-his years of
service as City Tax Assessor has made
him familiar with every detail of the
work required of County Assessor,
and he pledges to give the citizens
the best possible service should they
elect him county assessor. He has
never held county office, has been
a tax payer for many years, and be-
lieves in giving every qualified, capa-
ole citizen an opportunity to serve
the people, and not confine the pub
lie Offices to just a few individuals.
1t is Mr.. Woods intention to see
as many of the voters, as possible and
personally present his claim for the
position to which he aspires. He
asks the voters to investigate his
record and if satisfied that he is COM
petent, capable and efficient, he asks
for their support in the primaries.

LET'S BUY THIS WHISTLE
FOR ENGINEER WILLIE RUFFIN

PHILADELPHIA, Miss, April rs.
Capt. f. Golson, who owns and
operates dredge-boat on Kentawka
Creek, which boat is being used in
digging canals down the valley, has
just had perfected what is probably
the largest steam whistle in the south.
The whistle is made out of the
parts of two makes of automobiles,
Ford and Studebaker. The bell of
the whistle is made out of an old Ford
gasoline tank. The dome is made
out of five-gallon coal oil can. The
bowl and stem of the whistle are
made from one-half of the differential
of Studebaker. The disk of the
whistle is made from a piece of sheet
boiler steel. The whistle is orna-
mented with the nickled top Of an
old coal heater. The whistle stands
501s INCHES high and is 10 inches in
diameter. The whistle is audible for
over 80 miles. The whistle was made
by Mr.. Golson's mechanic, M. B.
Herring. The whistle has caused
quite sensation in the drainage dis
trict.

SCIENCE EXHIBIT

OAKLAND, Miss, April 29.-This
afternoon the domestic science de-
partment of the high school here gave
an exhibit of their work for the ses-
sion now closing. The work room
was so decorated that it presented a
real inviting appearance. There were
ferns and beautiful roses that had
been gathered from the gardens
nearby. The most attractive part of
the exhibit was the splendid array of
the cooking by the class of young
ladies. Miss Vida Gilleylen has had
charge of this department for the
session and the exhibit shows that
she has taught the pupils we'll. The
well made garments also were so well
displayed that it is hard to decide
which was the best. The embroidery
and fancy work has not been neglect
ed and every one came away delight
ed with what they had seen of the
work.

CALHOUN CITIZENS
SHOOT IT OUT" In
RAILROAD DEPOT

Tuesday afternoon Water Valley
was the scene of another one of those
deplorable shooting scrapes in which
outside, foreign citizens came to
Water Valley to "shoot it out" their
personal differences, and which cases
not only burden the county with a
heavy court expense account but also
gives our county and citizens a repu-
tation abroad that the good, peace
ful, law-abiding citizens do not de-
serve.
Tuesday afternoon about 2 o'clock
while the depot waiting room was fill
ed with men, women and children
waiting for the train then due in a
few minutes, Mr.. o. K. Haley stepped
up to the door of the waiting room
and, without any warning, began
firing from a high-power repeating
rifle at a man named Lewis Melvin
who was sitting next to a lady with
small child in her arms, while the
other seats and the room were filled
with people.
Mr.. Haley shot twice, the first bull
let missing its mark, went on through
the petition wall of the room striking
Mr.. II. p. Crawford the ticket agent,
in his left foot. The second shot
fired struck Melvin in the right arm,
shattering the bone between the ell
bow and shoulder and making ampu-
tatlon of the arm necessary. Haley
was preparing to shoot a third time
when Atty. W. F. Hamilton seized
Haley's gun and finally wrested it
from him. During the struggle for
the gun it was fired, the bullet mar
rowly missing Judge G. L. Chadwick
who was standing near.
At this time Mr.. Sam Addington
stepped up and together with Atty.
Hamilton they started with Haley to
the Court House to turn him over to
the sheriff and had gotten as far as
the bridge at the creamery where they
met Deputy Sheriff Givhan who took
Haley in charge and put him in the
county Jail where he is now confined.
Immediately after the shooting the
two wounded men were taken to
physicians where they received at
tention at once. Mr.. Crawford's
wounds though painful is not at all
serious. Melvin's wound however is
serious and will cost him his arm.
The local doctor temporarily dressed
his wound and later that night Melvin
was taken to the hospital at Jackson,
Miss. for treatment.
Haley and Melvin were residents
of Calhoun County, Melvin who is a
single man, making his home with
Haley and family at Banner. 1t is
reported that family trouble was the
cause of shooting. Mr. Haley who
did the shooting has a family consist
ing of wife and several children,
part of whom are nearly grown.

JEFF DAVIS HIGHWAY
PASS THROUGH HERE,
Duly Authorized Commission
of Jeff Davis Highway, Head
ed by Thomas B. King, De-
cides Grenada Convention of
March 2, 1916, Was Regu-
larly Organized-D C i S ion
Ends Fight.

A three-year fight between sup
porters of two proposed routes Of
the jeff Davis Highway through
Northern Mississippi was brought to
an end Monday when a special com
mittee appointed by the Tri-State jeff
Davis Highway Association, and duly
authorized as court of last resort,
met at the Memphis Chamber of Com
merce and decided that the conven-
ton at Grenada on March 2, 1916,
was regularly organized one and
that the route they adopted was legal
The decision loses to the supporters
of the Delta route, also known as the
airline and the western route, the
right to name their highway from
Memphis the jeff Davis Highway.
They had contended the Grenada con-
vention route was illegal because the
delegates were unorganized.
Decision as to the validity of the
roadway leading through Holly
Springs, Water Valley, Gre1adA and
Winona came after IL witnesses had
been examined by the committee,
which was headed by Thomas B.
King of Memphis, who is also chair
man of the Chamber of Commerce
committee on good roads. Only four
of the proponent of the eastern or
hill route were placed on the stand
in defense of the Grenada convention.
The squabble between the support
ers of the two proposed routes origi-
mated when the Delta supporters,
who favored the routing Of the high
way through Senatobia, Batesville,
Carrollton, etc., bolted the Grenada
convention in 1916 and registered
protests against the route adopted
there. They claimed the disorder
attending the meeting of the con-
vention prevented any legal organiza-
ton eligible to authoritatively pick
a route.
Grenada Convention Legal.
The four supprters of the eastern
or hill route, who appeared before the
jeff Davis committee were Walker
Wood, editor of the Winona Times;
Prof. J. II. Darroh of the University
of Mississippi; w. G. Bryant of Cof-
feeville and Henry Hart of Winona.
They took on the stand with them
the proceedings of the Grenada con-
appointed delegates, to prove the
hcClOn taken Lnefe was IN regular
organization and legal.
Among those who testified before
the commissioners from the delta or
airline route were A. M. Pepper of
Lexington, Herbert Holmes of Sena-
tobia, Tom James and w. R. Wal
lace of Como, j. r. Bingham and

others.

to be looking for somebody and if it's
me"
It was! The girl in the blue and pongee
sport-suit nudged the damsel in hlmy
white, while the diminutive brunette in
pink gathered up her ruffles, jumped to
the platform and advanced to meet the
shrinking theological student.
81 think I know you," she announced
smilingly, you're Rabbi Newman, aren't
you"
1t was the first time Dave had been
honored with his still unwon title, and
he flushed more rosily than before as
he shifted his umbrella and shook hands.
"I'm Rabbi Newman" he suffered, "but
I don't know you, do II"
The girl laughed. Dave liked her
laugh, it was so boyish and hearty; and
her handgrip was just as hearty as
boys. He tried desperately to prolong
their chat; not only because he longed to
label and pigeon-hole the young woman
in compartment of his brain, reserved
for girls he had met at various summer
resorts for the last three years, but also
to avoid meeting the two frilly strangers
in the car. "Do I know your" he re-
peated lamely.
She nodded, deft1y steering him toward
the waiting machine as she spoke. "Of
course! I'm Marion Levey. We were
all down at Golden Lake last summer
and you and Cousin AL from your COL
lege were always playing tennis. And
you almost invited me to play a set
once-but," dimp1ing merrily, "but you
got scared"
They had reached the car by this time
and a moment later Dave, while stanl-
mering through his introductions, was
fervent1y thanking his stars that he
knew at least one soul in this strange
place, even though she did belong to the
terrifying species of girl. And this girl
wasn't so terrible, after all. In fact,
Marion chatted so easily of her adven-
lures at Golden Lake after Dave had de-
parted, that he almost forgot the oppres-
sive nearness of Muriel and Dorothy,
the latter the presidents daughter, who
explained that "papa" had sent her down
with the car and that "the Rabbi was
to stay at their home while in Roxbury.
"The Rabbit The word struck cold
chill about David's heart. He remen-
bered that he was coming to Roxbury,
not as human being but as Rabbi.
To preach to strangers was difficult
enough; to eat three meals day with
the president of his temporary congrega-
ton was simply appalling. Though he
did brighten little at the information
that Marion was also to be guest at
the Stein home during the holy days.
At least there would he one nerson ar
the table who had met him at summer
resort and didn't think of him as Rab-
bi. Then Murie1 frightened him with
doctor, where did you preach last
year," and poor Dave f1oundered miser-
ably until Marion came to the rescue
and demanded news of "Cousin AL"
