Mr.. Rouse, as to its status when their
mandate was issued for dA-hour

an international standpoint, Big g.

Mr.. Rouse. attempting to put into

credited officials of other printing
unions, allowed the mem mbership to
vote themselves into position where
by they are in direct conflict with
international law and outside the pale
OF self-respecting men as to be

A. H. S. TOHAVE NEW
DoRMIT0RY SOON
Supervisors of COpiah and Lin
coin Counties Met With
Board of Trustees.

News has been received here from
Wesson Of the results Of joint
meeting held there between the trus-
tees Of the Copiaih-Lincoln Agricul-
tural High School and the Boards of
Supervisors OF these two counties,
which were that plans were complet-
ed and the trustees would begin
work at once on the construction of
a big new dormitory for that institu-
tion which will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
The building will be three-story
one, built of brick, and will accom-
modate 100 in rooms and have din
ing-room capacity for 200 pupils.
Living quarters for the superintend-
ent of the school will be in the build
ing, also.
With this much needed. addition to
the already handsome situation at
Wesson, Copiah-Lincoln High School
will be prepared to accommodate
comfortably the increasing number
of students that go there from year
to year from several counties.
With two of the states wealthiest
counties behind it and one of the
most capable school men of the
south, Prof. w. I. Thames, at its
head, Copiah-Lincoln school may be
expected to take place in the very
forefront of the institutions of its
kind in the country.

OUTBREAK
OF BOMB OUTRAGES
Reign of Reds Threatened
Public Officials are Tar
gets for Bombs.

Another attempted reign Of terror
directed chiefly against public offc-
ials was instituted by the Reds at
Washington Monday evening when
bombs wrecked the lower floor of the
residence of Attorney General A. M.
Palmer and the bomb-pIacer, it is
believed, was blown to atoms.
At Cleveland, New York, Pitts
burg, Boston, Paterson, N. j., Phila-
delphia and perhaps other places
there were bomb explosions.
Anarchy seems to be growing in
this country. The scum of creation
is Jet in at our open gates, and when
a criminal is convicted clemency is
too frequently extended.
The Clarion-Ledger Of Tuesday
has the following:
The case Of Thomas Mooney out in
California is a shining example of
how the government allows itself to
be dictated to by bunch of crimi-
mails who ought to be hung.
Mooney was tried and convicted of
murder growing out Of the placing
of bombs in San Francisco during the
celebration for preparedness in
which a public parade was the main
feature. He was sentenced to death
and the case ran the gamut Of every
court of the land, the decision of the
trial court being affirmed in each
and every one Of them, even unto the
Supreme Court of the United States.
When every other avenue of escape
had been closed, the friends of Moon
ey appealed to the President, who at
first showed a Arm front, but finally
yielded and commuted the sentence
to life imprisonment under threat of
nationwide strike by l. w. WIS
and other anarchistic organizations.
Mooney was either guilty or he
was innocent. If guilty he should
have been hung; If innocent he
should have been discharged. His
Communication of sentence is neither
an affirmation of belief in his guilt
nor confession of his innocence,
but is simply a concession to the de-
mands of anarchists, which proves
the weakness of the government, and
so long as such things happen dyna-
hitting may be expected whenever
the Reds are displeased at anything
or anybody.

CONTINUOUS PROHIBITION.
Congress viii Not Accede to Presi-
dents Recommendation, Say
Representatives.

Washington, June 2.-The Presi-
dents recommendation with regard
to the repeal of the wartime prihi-
bition against beer and wine has no
chance of acceptance. Members Of
the Louisiana and Mississippi dele
cations are anxious that this fact be
more generally understood as they
are being overwhelmed by requests
to use their efforts to bring about the
result desired by the author of the
request.
1t is regarded as certain Congress
will not accede to the request Of the
President in the matter and to all in
tents and purposes the matter is the
same as decided.
While the greater percentage of
letters is coming from those favoring
eontinuation of the prohibition edict,
there are many hundreds of letters
coming from those contrary-minded.

The men in motor cars laughed at

no end of speculation in his depart

of the $500 bottles to determine
whether any of them contain the

A little child was playing on jack
SON Street. An automobile was ap-
preaching at rate Of speed more
than Is miles per hour. The child
ran across the street and darted in
front of the car. The driver could
not stop. The child was killed. The
driver put on all of his brakes. they
worked properly, but it was too late.
He was arrested and charged with
manslaughter. Twelve jurors pass
ed upon his case. There was no SYM
pathy for him among the spectators
in the court room. He was guilty.
He had killed a human being while
violating the law. 1t was man
slaughter. He went to the peniten-
tiary for 90 years.
Imagine the case where the driver
was woman or girl. Her life is
wrecked. She has brought sorrow
untold upon her own family, and an
irreparable loss upon her neighbor
whether she suffers the penalty OF
the law or not.
Imagine another case. The auto
mobile is being driven by the young
SON or daughter of the owner. 1t is
proceeding at slow rate of speed,
within the Is mile speed limit. A
person is killed or injured. The
child, on account of his or her
youth, is not punished, but its life
is ruined. The father. mother, sis
ters and brothers Of the killed or In
jured child sues the owner OF the au-
tomobile for damages. His insurance
policy does not protect him. The
jary is not sympathetic. The people
in the court room and In the COM
munity are hostile to him in such a
suit. Public sentiment Is with the
injured ones. The result: A heavy
judgment for damages.

to halt. In the name Of humanity,
in the name Of the innocent children
of Brookhaven. and In the name of
your own protection against the ca
lamity which stares you in the face
every day that you or your child runs
the car, you should take warning.
Do not fool yourself. Your promi-
|nence and your standing will not
protect you. Every father and ev-
cry mother will turn their faces
against you in that inevitable hour
when this terrible misfortune over
takes you. Your own inner con-
science which might tell you that
you did not intend 1t, will rise up
and accuse you also.
Child run over and killed by su-
'tomobile!" MAN killed by auto
Imobile!" These headlines appear in
the newspapers daily. Is not the ti-
tie familiar to you?
Owners of automobiles OF Lincoln
county and especially in the City OF
Brookhaven, get together and sol
,emnly pledge each other that you
will stand behind the officers in the
proper enforcement of the laws regu-
lating automobiles. Read chapter
116 Of the Laws of Mississippi OF
1915.
We suggest that some prominent
man call meeting OF the automo-
bile owners SO that they may. be in
structed and may not ignorantly fall
into the meshes Of the law, and
worse still. be responsible for injury
or death Of some innocent man, wo-
man or child
The automobile upon the streets
and the public roads Is a veritable
engine OF destruction. 1t is danger
GUS in the extreme. This powerful
machine is directed by people of ev-
cry kind Some are careful. Some
careless. Many are excitable and
would lose their heads In an emer-
gency. The law seeks to minimize
the danger. 1t is a good law and
should be observed for the protec-
tion OF the users Of automobiles as
well as the users Of other vehicles
and pedestrians.
