HON. /. |. DAVIS
$ FOR THE SENATE

We call attention OF the voters to
the announcement OF Hon. ii. l..
Davis, appearing In this issue, as a
candidate TOR the office Of State Sen
ator to represent the thirty7second
Senatorial District, composed OF La
fayette county. The people and the
press of the state have been for some
time agitating the question Of pro-
curing good men to enter the race
for the several legislative offices fol
the ensuing four years, and Nh.
Davis has responded to the call of
many of the best people OF the county
to permit his name to be entered as
candidate for the Senate. Mr..
Davis has never held an office for
financial gain, but has served the
people of the county as Supervisor fer
two terms, beginning in 1904 and re-
manned in office until 1912. He Is an
experienced legislator, having served
as a member Of the House of Rep
resentatives as a Representative Of
this county since 1916, and in the 1915
election he won by good ma ajoGity in
the first primary over five worthy
opponents, and has made re ord that
has never caused the voters to regret
their choice.
Mr.. Davis was BON in Lafayette
county and received his early training
in the Tula High school. He is ia
miliar with legislative work and pro-
ceedure and has made a study Of the
needs of the people of the county,
among whom he has lived all his life.
The office of State Senate Is one of
the most important offices, not only
to the people of the county or district,
but to the entire citizenship of the
state, hence grave responsibility
rest upon the voter when he gees to the
polls to cast his ballot for this in
portant office, and whether Mr. DAVIS
has opposition or not, we commend his
candidacy to the careful consideraticl
of the voters as man we'll qualfieM
to represent Lafayette county IN the
Senate of Mississippi.

WIFE SAVES JA|lER
FROM TWO PRISONERS
w. X. Jeffreys Is Made Target for
Bullets of Seldom Cox, White, and
George Kelly, Negro, as He Makes
Night Round of Cells.

Holly Springs, Miss, Aprl TRAP
ped and unarmed beneath the mur-
derous fire of two prisoners armed
with revolvers, Jailer w. r. JET
freys tonight owes his life to the cour-
age and devotion of his wife.
Hearing the fusillade of shots which
broke forth soon after her husband
had entered the Jail Tor his final round
and to lock the prisoners in their cells,
the plucky little woman seized re-
volver and rushed to his aid. Firing
through an aperture in the big steel
door which penned Jeffreys in with the
desperadoes, Mrs. Jeffreys shot
George Kelly, negro, through the
chest, probably fatally.
Seeing the futility of his position,
the other prisoner, Selden Cox, white,
literally blew out his brains
The jail corridor which witnessed
the desperate effort at Jail delivery
resembles a shambles.
Cox, %, was arrested in Memphis
recently on a charge of having stolen
the automobile of Charles Jones, Of
Holly Springs. He was awa.ting ac-
tion of the grand jury. The negro
was awaiting similar action on a
charge of highway robbery.
Jailer Jeffreys, as is his wont, en-
tered the Jail about 9 O'CLOCK to LOCK
the prisoners in their cells. Just as
he slammed the big iron door shut be-
hind him and locked it, Cox covered
him with a rveolver.
"Let me out or l will kill you," he
threatened.
Jeffreys refused.
The negro then stepped from behind
a stove with a revolver and both p~is-
oners opened fire. -O2ly the poor light
in the jail corridor saved the iailer's
life, for seven shots were fired at MIN
and all passed very close to his head
and the upper part of his body. While
the attack was at its height, Mrs. JET
freys, little woman though she is, and
pretty, rushed to the rescue and
opened fire on the negro through a
barred grating in the door and over
her husbands shoulder.
The negro probably will die.
Cox is the son of the late W. r.
Cox, a prominent and respected plant
er of this vicinity.
Jeffreys is a member of u pcomi-
nent family. Mrs. Jeffreys is the
daughter of Will Jones, of Red Banks,
Miss. Tonight she is the idol of Holly
Springs.
AS soon as he was notified OF the
occurrence, Sheriff r. F. Dancy hur-
ried to the Jail and made q thorough
search. He believes his discoveries
will result in the arrest of the per-
sons who armed his prisoners.
Though there are four other prison
ers in the Jail, none OF them pa-tici-
pated in the attack on Mr.. Jeffreys.

CORP. H|GC|NBOTHAM
DIES IN GERMANY

A cablegram was received today by
Mrs. J. w. Higginbotham, Of the
southwestern part of the country, stat
ing that her son, Ernest, died March
"a from injuries.
Corporal Higginbotham, it will be
remembered, was member Of the La
mar Rifles, organized two years ago
by Capt. Lee Baggett. This young
man went over one year ago, and saw
active service in several of the fiercest
battles at the front.
After peace was declared young
Higginbotham was sent tc Germany
with the army of occupation under
General Dickman. H. e. Smith re-
ceived letter yesterday from him,
which is probably the last letter he
wrote to any one, and is as follows:
"Army of Occupation,

SAYS CARPETBACCERS
ARE SENT INTO SOUTH
Texas Lumber Officials Declares De-
partment of Labor Sending Negro
Agents to Dixie-AvOws Unc0n.
stitutiOnality of Procedure.

new Orleans, April e. Inc Oe-
partment of Labor at Washington is
sending black and white emissaries to
organize the labor Of the south, and
these men are carpet baggers, in a
sense, just as were those who came
south after the war to attempt to place
the negro above the white man." John
H. Kirby, of Houston, Texas, presi-
dent of the National Lumber Manufac-
turers' Association, told a meeting Of
southern pine lumber manufacturers
here today. Mr.. Kirby's address was
apart from a regular conference of
pine lumbermen he called here to dis
cuss problems of readjusting prices in
conformity with the programme of the
Department of Commerce
Mr.. Kirby said the labor situation,
as developed under "centralized pow
ers" assumed by the labor department,
is a violation of the rights of states
to handle matters at issue between en-
ployers and employees.
1--WE have had at Washington TO-
several years, a president and admin
lstration, Democratic in name, at
least" he said, land yet steadily we
have seen our rights as states clipped
away and assumed by federal power.
"Those ENJOYS of the Department Of
Labor. no matter what the badges they
wear or the documents they carry,
have no more right to enter your
plants than have the veriest strangers;
for the tenth amendment to the federal
constitution is specific, and is in full
force today, as when it was passed to
reinforce clarity Of the original docu-
nent."
j. Declaring that the problem of negro
labor in the south is not, first an in
dustrial one, but racial one, Mr.. Kir-
by said, "the disturbance Of conditions
of negro labor cannot be tolerated
without fiercest opposition"
He said when he was asked by the
Department of Labor to advise with
their representatives relative to con-
ditions in his section, he expressed his
willingness to advise with the white
agents of the department.
"But," he said, "when it became a
question of going into conference with
the black official, handling the colored
economics, l declined"
"In the south we tell negroes what
to do, we do not take counsel with
them," he declared.
Mr.. Kirby concluded by saying he
has only the best wishes for negro
labor, and that the south does not
wish in any way to restrict the negro's
advancement or prevent him from 60
ing anywhere to sell his labor If he
can do so to better advantage. DE
does object, however, he said, to the
efforts or propaganda that "is seeking
to cause industrial strife in the south
by officially operating proselyting for
the federation of labor"
"The matter" he asserted, "has
reached a sad state when the labor
board orders an election or referendum
in southern community to determine
what wages town shoad pay its fire
