comfort combined with safety would
be the motto.
But why would 1t not be practical
Tor her to purchase such a plane now?
The reason given is not directly con-
nected with the element of safety or
the makeup of the plane but ia
emery a question of landing fields.
1t has been assumed that she hap
pened to have a good landing field at
her own home. perhaps a field that
would have been turned into a private
golf course IL 1t had had hazards. But
where is she going to find other fields
to ny to? She can take a spin about
and return to her own field, but she
cannot go anywhere until she knows
where she can park her plane.
AS for the army fields, these are
not yet open to the civilian and any
flyer landing on an army field would
be technically under arrest for SO
doing.
But this is going to be changed and

The army experts say that progress
In aeronautics Is one OF the few prac-
teal assets Of the war. The infantry
man returns home, hangs UP his rifle
and goes to work The rifle has rem
dered its service and may not soon be
used again. The hand grenade and the
gas bomb are discarded. But not so,
1t Is explained, with the airplane. The
lessons taught under the stern neces-
sity of self-preservation are given to
the new science, and a new field Of
human effort and world industry has
undoubtedly grown up. The chief Inn
mediate need to keep this industry GO
ing is for the question OF landing
fields to be taken up and solved prop
erly, the army tiiers say. For eX-
ample, a landing field at Governors
Island would be a great boom and
make 1t unnecessary for aviators to
lose time telephoning for taxis, &C., to
get from Mineola to New York city.

hours and then had to wait two hours
to get to New York city after landing

long to get from Mineola to New York
as it has to fly clear from Dayton to
Mineola.
Agitation has begun in favor of the
Government establishing landing
fields near the large cities and going
into this phase of the progress very
generally, but this Is not supported
without reserve by the army fiiers.

PROF. TOM RHEA PHILLIPS
FOR SUPERINTENDENT.

The above named gentleman,
who announced a few weeks ago
for the Office of County Superin-
tendent of Education, has been
honorably discharged from the
army, and has returned to his
home at Star, and as soon as
conditions will permit he will en-
ter upon an active campaign.
Mr.. Phillips is 26 years Of age,
and registered in this county five
years ago with the intention of
making it his permanent home.
For the past four years Mr.. Phil
lips has been principal of the
High School at Star. He is a
graduate of Mississippi College,
and bears the reputation of being
one of the best educators of the
state. The communities in which
he has taught recommend him
very highly, both as a teacher and
man.
Probably no man in the state
made greater personal sacri-
fee to serve his country than did
Mr.. Phillips. When his time
came he offered no excuse, but
was ready to go and do his part.
At his country's call he left a
widowed mother and sisters who
were solely dependent upon him
for a living. He went to Camp
Shelby at Hattiesburg, where he
was trained for a few months,
and from there to Camp Mills,
N. Y, and then on to France,
where he saw two months service
in actual warfare. He was anx-
ious to serve, and never faltered
in any duty. However, when the
armistice was signed, like thous-
ands of others he felt that his
work was complete, and he want
ed to return. He was fortunate in
being among the first to get back.
His Regiment participated in the
welcome extended President Will
son upon his arrival in France,
and he had the honor of return
ing to his native soil upon the
vessel that the President went
over on.
Mr.. Phillips is worthy and we'll
qualified for the position he
seeks, and the people will find
him to be one of the very best
young men in the country. He
will make as thorough canvass as
possible before the primaries
and will greatly appreciate any
favors shown him.
No mistake will be made in vot-
ing for Tom Rhea Phillips for
Superintendent.

FROM FLORENCE.

A very fine congregation greet
ed Pastor Courtney last Sunday
good timely sermon. We unfort-
unately could not attend the ser,
vices that day, but we learn that
the sermon was fine one. The
Saturday before was one of the
worst of wintry days-rainy and
chilly all day, yet the people
turned out to church in goodly
numbers as the day was rather
pleasant.
The friends of Rev. S. Morris,
Of Florence, feel to congratu-
late him upon the fact that his
preacher son, Rev. S. p. Morris,
has been called to the pastoral
care of two churches in Rankin
county, the Brandon and the
Pelahatchie churches. They hope
that he will accept or has al
ready done so.
The season just now seems un-
favorable for early gardening.
Many kinds Of seeds could well
be sown in drills this time of the
year, in this pa IT of the south.
But the soil continues too wet
from frequent showers.
Te those who wish to plant
garden seeds as early as prac-
we (from our own exper-
ience) suggest the following
plan: Throw up the ridges as
soon as can be done, whether
wet or not, trusting to further
early spring to settle the bed.
When the bed is settled or
firmed, split crack" alonq the
middle Of the ridge, on top, with
Ratchet forced in about on half

doing this by holding the handle
sof the Ratchet in one hand and
working backward toward the far
end, Drop the seeds into the
crack with Z spoon and swipe
the opening with the face Of the
tool. This closes the crack. #

S. D. DONNELL FOR CHANG

In this weeks issue of the
News is found the announce
ment of Scott D. Donnell for
Chancery Clerk of Rankin county.
He needs no introduction to the
people Of this county, because he
is favorably known in every Sec
zion of the county. Four years
ago he was elected Sheriff and
Tax-Collector of Rankin county,
and he has made faithful,
trustworthy and efficient official.
Although the Tax Collectors Of
fee is a busy place during tax
collection time, he has never been
too busy to extend hand of ia
vor to those calling at his Office.
When the Selective Service Act
was adopted by the National
Government, as Sheriff, he was
made member of the Local Elk
emption Board of this county.
There was never q more undesir-
able position than membership of
this Board, because it was
through it that boys Of this coun-
ty was called to the colors. Mr..
Donnell has always endeavored
to be fair and impartial, prefer
ing no one but selecting the
county quota according to the or
der numbers of the several regis
trants. No. dependent has ever
been turned away by him without
first hearing his plea and when
possible to grant his petition, he
always gladly did 50.

G. w. benson FOR SUPERVIS-
OR, BEAT NO. 3.

Yielding to the solicitations OF
his many friends, G. w. benson,
Of Sandhill, makes his formal an
nouncement this week as candi-
date for Supervisor for Beat No.
8, subject to the action of the de-
mocratic primaries to be held
next August.
Mr.. benson is probably as well
equipped asany man in the coun-
ty to fill this important place. He
Is q man of good sound business
judgement and always in full &C
cord with every movement for
the betterment of his country and
his fellow men. He is a firm be-
lever in good roads, good
churches and good schools, the
three great subjects which de-
tsrmine the happiness and pros
perity Of the people.
Mr.. benson is a very close OBJ
server Of public matters, and has
had considerable experience in
matters relating to county affairs.
He lived for few years in Texas,
whore the people are more pro-
Sressive in road building than we
are here, and his experience there
would prove valuable to this
county.
He is q good, safe conserva-
tive man and Beat would, in our
judgement, be very fortunate in
securing his services on the
Board.
Personally, he is genial and
affable,-a man Of strong friend
ships, but he never lets a personal
friendship interfere with his
judgement in the discharge of
his duty. Ruggedly honest and
always ready to do his part.
Beat 3 could not make a better
selection than Geo. benson.

GEORGE HOWE MUST HANG
FEBRUARY %
Killed Anna Belle Seaney, for
Which Crime He Offered No
Reason in Circuit Court

AS DrleIly stated In ms
News last week, the jury in the
case of the State vs. George How
lie charged with the murder Of
Miss Annie Belle Seaney, brought
in a verdict Friday afternoon Of
guilty as charged, and the death
sentence was Immediately i'm.
posed by Judge McLaurin, Fri.
day, February, %, being fixed as
the day for his execution.
Some two months ago Anna
Belle Seaney, a 16-year-old girl
was shot to death by George
Howie, a Syrian, about 80 years
of age, who had been paying at
tention to the girl. the tragedy
occurring at the Seaney home in
Rankin county, only short dis
lance across Pearl River.
The killing according to reports
at the time, was an exceedingly
atrocious and cold blooded one.
HOWE, it seems, had been out
hunting and returning, called at
the Seaney home. There he found
the girl and her mother alone.
Report had it that HOWE and the
girl became involved in a contro-
versy over ring, which HOWE
asked for and the girl refused to
give up. Becoming enraged, How
lie fired upon the girl with single
barrelled shotgun, and as she fell
to the ground, the mother ran up
and pleaded with HOWE to spare
her daughters life. Paying no at
tention to her entreaties, he calm
ly reloaded the gun and fired an
other shot into the PROSTATE girl,
and then again repeated his bar
porous action.
After the third shot HOWE left.
but was arrested short while
afterwards and carried to Jack
son, where he was placed in Jail.
Fearing for hissafety he was soon
afterwards removed and carried
to Vicksburg, where he has re-
NAMED in the Warren county Jail
until brought to Brandon for trial
The trial was a very short one;
HOWE making no defense except
that OF no recollection of the
crime, neither admitting or deny
ing it. He simply contented him
self with the statement that he
had no recollection of what oc-
Cured. The jury was out only
a few minutes, returning a YER
dict of Guilty as charged" The
Judge then passed sentence. con-
demning HOWE to death on the
gallows on Friday, February, 90.
The verdict of the jury came as
surprise to the prisoner, who
had shown confidence of acuuit-
tai up to that time, but upon its
delivery his air of confidence van
lshed and a look of disappoint-
ment and hopelessness spread
over his countenance.
No notice of appeal has been
taken so far, and there are those
who believe none will be.

Movie No Rival to Musical Conedy.
Margaret Mayo. who is regarded as
one Of the clever and versatile
women connected with the theater in

the play question. and incidentally,
perhaps. explains the reason for the
new influx of musical comedy.

arts, including acting and novel

that, for me at least. playwriting is
the least difficult. while writing NOV
ing picture scenarios is the most per-
picking.
oEer year ago .eht Hsso Lno

and humble respect for this new art
in which one can appeal to the public

The limitations of tho pictures TO
my mind. makes the achievement OF
successful writers and producers all
the more noteworthy.
There is one thing, however, that
the movies cannot compete with, ana
that is musical comedy. This,
think, is the reason why so many
musical comedies for the first time
in the last few years and why they
have gone to such pains and eS-
pense to give the public tasteful and
pleasing entertainment Of this kind.
