authoritative body, to provide funds
whereby the needy families Of SOL

Many are the cases which have been
brought recently to the attention OF
the men and women who are occupied
in investigating the cases Of those who
are reported TO be actually suffering

for the most part constitute families

The first bale of new crop cotton
produced in Leflore county was
brought to Greenwood this afternoon
at 8 o'clock by Mr.. J. H. Wier from
his magnificent Grandview plantation

3-16 inches.
According to the usual custom, the
first new bale will be sold to the
highest bidder at the Cotton Exchange

buting to the premium given above

Mr.. Wier reports his cotton crop as
being pretty good, considering the
early unfavorable seasons.
Cotton is opening rapidly through
out the county, and picking will be-
gin pretty generally within the next
ten days or two weeks.

reservations on the league Of nations
covenant were embodied in separate
resolution prepared today by Senator
Pittman democratic member of the
Foreign Relations committee, for in
PRODUCTION into the Senate. Pittman
said that the resolution was in line

were those proposed by a group OF
seven Republican Senators and deal
with the right of withdrawal from the
league in article 10, domestic ques-
tions and the Monroe Doctrine.

this flag stop when it took charge of

PLAYING POLITICS
WITH COLLEGES
BilbO Wont Call Meeting Board OF
Trustees To Transact Important
Business.

Governor Bilbo's failure to call tn
board of trustees of Mississippi
higher educational institutions for tn
purpose of transacting large amour
of badly-neglected business is causing
much speculation throughout tn,
state, and in some quarters has arous
ed much indignation.
That the Governor has a politica
purpose in keeping the board of trus
tees from meeting is quite apparent
to those who are familiar with tht
situation.
A short time ago Gov. Bilbo named
Lieut-Governor Lee Russell as g
member of this board, and there has
been only one meeting since he was
named.
It appear that the Governor has g
scheme in his mind to make heavy in
creases in the salaries of teachers anG
employees at the educational institu-
tions-at least, that is what he has
been promising faculty members in
order to keep them under political
control-but he does not want to do
it until after August 26th, fearing
that it would have bad effect on the
candidacy of Lee Russell.
For this reason the states business
is being shamefully neglected. For
illustration, the diplomas awarded to
graduates of the University of Missis-
sippi, Industrial Institute and College
and A. and M. College have never
been signed. This is usually done at
the June meeting, but there was no
June meeting this year, and the grad
yates are still waiting for their di-
plomas. Some of them were prevent
ed from taking courses at big univer-
sites in the North during the summer
because they could not exhibit their
diplomas, or give proof that they had
been granted.
Governor Bilbo now has a majority
of the members of the board under
his control, five of the nine trustees
being his appointees.
The Governor is the only person
who has authority to call the trus-
tees in session, and it appears that
he is holding a political whip hand
over the employees of the institution
They don't even know whether they
are to be retained as faculty members
for the coming sessions, and it is now
too late for them to secure desirable
positions elsewhere in event they are
not retained-Jackson Clarion Led
ger.

JOHNSTON FOR
LABORING MAN
Refutes Stories Circulated To The
Effect That He Is Opposed To
Organized Labor.

DURANT Miss, Aug 12-Hon. Os-
car Johnston, candidate for Cover
nor, in a short address to the voters
last night refuted the charges that
have been made concerning his atti-
tude towards organized labor. He
showed from the journal of the House
of Representatives that he had never
opposed any measure in the interest
of labor, and proved to the many
union men who heard him that he is
not antagonistic to their cause as has
been falsely charged.
Mr.. Johnston was not scheduled to
speak here but when it became known
he was in town, en- route from Choc-
taw county to Yalobusha county, his
friends and admirers insisted that he
make speech. A large crowd soon
gathered on the street corner, and Mr..
Johnston spoke from truck. It was
nearly ten o'clock before he started
speaking and for that reason his
speech was short. However, he made
many converts to his cause and it is
believed he will get the Longino and
Collins vote practically solid. He
will carry Holmes county by an over
whelming majority.
Mr.. Johnston spoke at the opening
of court at Chester yesterday after.
noon and was followed by Governor
Bilbo who spoke in the interest o1
Lee Russell.
