GETS VERDICT FOR s5OoO.O0.
Grained Nurse Gets Big Verdict
Against Kirby Brothers.

In the court of common pleas last
week Miss Lula Williams. trained
nurse. got i heavy verdict against
Edward and Herbert Kirby, sons OF
the late John Kirby, who lived for
many years across Catfish from Do
than church.
Miss Williamson alleged in her
complaint that she was roughly
treated by the Kirbys while working
in the capacity of a trained nurse at
the home of Oliver Hyatt. Miss Will
hanson was nursing Mr.. Hyatt who
was sick with pneumonia when, il
was alleged, at an early hour one
morning last December the Kirby
brothers came 70 the Hyatt house and
after making forcible entrance
her life with pistol and
attempted to do her bodily injury.
She testified she woke up and found
Edward Kirby standing over her
with a pistol She fled to Mr.. Hyatts
room and was followed by Edward
Kirby who continued his threats. She
claims that the Kirbys were under
the influence of whiskey. Said she
did not know the Kirby brothers and
could not account for their strange
conduct.
The Kirbys stated in their answer
that they had made frequent visits
to Mr.. Hyatt's house and had met
Miss Williamson previous to the night
of the alleged difficulty. They denied
threatening her life and had not act
ed in an hngentlemanly manner.
The jury gave Miss Williamson a
verdict for $4,000 against Edward
Kirby and verdict for $4,000 against
Herbert Kirby. The day before the
trial Edward Kirby disposed of his
interest in his fathers estate and
left for parts unknown. The court has
issued bench warrant for his arrest
and if located he will have to give
bond in double the amount Of the
verdict.
The only other case tried during
the latter part of the week was that
of w. H. Burney against w. Lun-
dy. The plaintiff alleged that the de-
fendant had been careless in putting
out fire and as a result of Lundy's
carelessness Burney's storehouse and
stock of goods were destroyed. The
jury gave Bulney 500 damages

boys foot to slip from the running
board. He endeavored to hold on the
side of the truck and it threw bis

be equal to 3.66 barrel of oil.
It is stated that the Seaboard eX-
poets to convert $50 of their engines
to the oil burning type. 1t will be one
of the first big roads to adopt this
plan in the southeast. This will great

BLACK MEN ARE PROSPEROUS.
Negroes in Mississippi are Happy and
Contented. g

Exceptional happiness, contentment
and prosperity among the negroes OF
Mississippi is reported by a commit
tee of Chicago white and negro men
after an investigation of conditions
is that state. The committee was del
egated to visit Mississippi by the
Chicago Association of Commerce, the
Federal Bureau OF Labor and by Or
ganized labor to which had been
referred a question of aiding the re-
turn of southern born negroes to the
south.
A written statement prepared by
the committee said:
''The happiness, contentment and
prosperity among the colored race in
Mississippi is much greater than the
committee expected to find. We know
no place where greater happiness and
prosperity prevail among them"
School facilities were found to be
good; churches adequate, housing
conditions being improved rapidly
and race relations good, according to
the report, while the industrious
negro is afforded excellent opportuni-
ties to become land owner. No place
oppression, imposition or "lawless-
ness" was found Negro workers in
the sawmill districts were reported
happy and contented.
Many of the farm laborers were
found to be working on the share
system. Negroes having no capital,
teams or implements are equipped by
the land owner, receiving, usually, a
half of the crop they produce, while
those with teams and implements are
given two-thirds. The statement con-
tinues:
I'VE found that the average work
er who cultivated what is known as
the 'one mule crop was able, using
the year 1918 as a criterion, to. pro-
duce sufficient crop to net him, ov-
er and above all living expenses, from
$500 to $500 year. We found sew
eral men who began work under the
tenant system and who now own their
own plantations and are themselves
employers of negro labor and are
worth from $4,000 to $175,0O0.
These facts were secured for the ne
groes themselves and we had the priv
ilege of riding with them and sur
veying their farms in automobiles
they own"

RESTLESS DAY FOR
PRESIDENT WILSON
WOODROW WILSON SPENDS UN-
COMFORTABLE HOURS.
Unimportant, but Irritating New
Complications Crop. out-bet-
ter on Whole, However.

washington. Oct. 14.-Due TO an
unimportant but irritating new COM
plication. President Wilson spent a
restless and uncomfortable day ou.
his condition tonight was described
by his personal physician, Rear Ao-
miral Grayson, as improved.
In the regular night bulletin on the
presidents condition issued from the
White House at 10 o'clock Dr. Gray
son said:
THE president has had restless
and uncomfortable day but ne is
better tonight"
In correction with issuance OF the
bulletin. Dr. Grayson announced lhat
DIR. H. A. Fowler. Washington spe-
clalist has been called IN for consul
tation and through his efforts 1t had
been able to reduce the swelling OF
the prostate gland, which it was stat
ed today had interfered with he rest
of the president last night.
The new element entering into the
presidents illness ii was stated was
of the non-operative type.
The general condition OF Mr.. VIII
son again was described as favorable
Rear Admiral Grayson, his personal
physician, and DR.. Stitt and DR. Ruf-
fin, the, consulting phvsicians,~ noting
in the daily bulletin that his temper
ature, pulse, respiration, heart action
and blood pressure were normal.
While announcement that the pres
ident's rest was being inerfered with
by a swollen prostate gland it was
emphasized by DR.. Grayson hat such
was not uncommon and was of little
Importance save as it caused some dis
comfort.
Reports that congress might ad-
journ pending he presidents recovery
wre met at the White House win
the statement that such step was
absolutely unnecessary and would be
opposed vigorously by the executive.
1t was reiterated today that the pres
ident's condition>was such as to allow
him to act on any important legisla-
tive matter that might demand his at
tenion.

Mr.. L. G. Brigham, superinte 1dent
of the Marion County chain gang,
dropped into The Herald office satur-
day and asked us to say that he
wished to correct the impression that
he was connected in any way with
the recent disclosures that liquor was
being made by the chain gang super
intendent. The charges we're brought
against the former SUP rintendent of
the gang who left tn. rnty when
the charges were pre- ed against
him and Mr.. Brigham merely sue
ceeded the former superintendent. At
the time the disclosures were made
Mr.. Brigham was employed as speed
cop on the Marion police force and
had nothing to do with the gang
until after the former superin-
tendent had left. Mr.. Brigham
wishes it distinctly understood that
he was in no way connected with the
chain gang at that time and knew
nothing of the alleged charges that
whiskey was being made on the gang
until the disclosures were made by
the Marion county officers.
