OLD TIME TRAGEDY
CALLED TO MEMORY
Bill to Compensate Will Purvis for
Being Hung for Crime
He Did Not Commit.

A memorable tragedy enacted in
South Mississippi a quarter of cen
tury ago, followed by celebrated
battle in the courts involving the
question Of wheter a man can be
twice hanged for the same crime, was
recalled in the legislature when Mr..
Yeager introduced a bill carrying an
appropriation of $4,000 to Will Pur-
Wis, a. compensation for twice facing
the gallows for a crime for which he
vas not guilty.
In 1898 Will Buckley, young far
mer of Marion county, was shot and
killed from ambush while returning
home from Columbia, where he had
been called, with his brother, to tes-
tify concerning a whitecapping incl
dent at his home, negro having been
severely whipped by white cappers.
Death sentence was affirmed by
the Supreme Court. Purvis was
placed on the gallows, the moose
placed about his neck, and the trap
sprung. AS the moose slipped and he
fell to the ground. The sheriff was
about to attempt again when the at
torneys for Purvis interviewed with
the contention that man cannot un-
der the constitution, be twice pun
ished for the same crime. The sher-
iff objected to hanging him IN order
to get legal advice. The supreme
court ruled against Purvis, reaffirmed
the death sentence, and fixed new
date for the execution.
In the meantime the friends OF
Purvis had stormed the Jail and car
ried him away to a place Of hiding
in the woods.
A. J. McLaurin was elected gov
ernor and pardoned Purvis. Purvls
served about two years in the penl-
tentiary. He is now a small farmer
in Lamar county, and his conduct, ac-
cording to neighbors, has been above
reproach.
Three years ago a Meridian county
farmer named Joe Beard, while on
his death bed, made dying confes-
sion to the effect that Will Buckley
was assassinated by a man named
Louis Thornhill, and that Purvis had
nothing whatever to do with the al
fair. According to his confession,
Louis Thornhill and Joe Beard secret
. ed themselves by the roadside when
the Buckleys were returning home,
intending to kill both of them Thorn
hill fired the shot that killed Buckley,
and then threatened to kill Beard be-
cause the latter had failed 20 fire and
| kill the other brother.
| Two years ago, when the Beard
confession was fresh in the public
| mind it was then Mr.. Ysagsr tried

fully inoculated, the crop came to an
early maturity. Ginned, Mr.. Roland
was delighted to find that his acres
of heretofore waste land had yielded
over 100 pounds. of long staple cot
ton. This he sold in the regular mar
kets for 70 cents per pound.
Three bales were sold, each weigh
ing over $50 pounds, to be used in the
making of aeroplane wing coverings.
It is for this purpose the sea island
crop has Of late been largely used.
The discovery made by Messrs.
Roland and Julian followed closely
uoon the announcement that the arid
lands in Arizona and New Mexico
had been found to raise long staple
cotton, similar to that produced in the
Nile valley. The variety raised in the
Hancock county lands, however, is of
the most desired and wanted variety,
for which, there is a unlimited de-
mand at prices almost double the
highest price paid for the shorter f.
bred grades.
In commenting upon his success
Mr.. Roland called attention to the
thousands of acres of lands, swampy
tangles of scrub pines-situated in
Mississippi and eastern Louisiana.
He pointed out that these can, with
the use of dynamite, be most easily
cleared. The stumps, themselves, are
Of highly marketable value, filled as
they are with turpentine.
Truck Gardening Facts.
He declared further that the sandy
arid stretches, not too near the salt
winds Of the coast. also were ideal
for the successful raising Of this pro-
duct. Much Of this land has been
tried for truck gardening purposes.
This, if at all successful, has, in the
majority of instances, failed after the
first year. Whether or not, without
proper fertilization, this soil can be
made to produce more than one crop
Of cotton in succession is a mooted
point. However, the men interest
ed in the experiment say the cost of
fertilizating such soils can not be at
all considered as a drawback. Both
are enthusiastic over the prospect
of enhancing the values of lands, now
save only where oil prospects have
been made, all but useless except for
the raising OF cattle on large scale.

tice in numbering and turpentlnlng
results in the denudation of the for
est and the leaving Of large areas un-
productive and idle for indefinite pc
riods; therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Southern
Forestry Congress that it deplores
the continuance of such practice of
denudation and urges, in order that
such practice may be avoided, the
enactment Of legislation by the
Southern States that will require or
make possible the adoption Of meas
ures by owners that will prevent
such denudation and will afford an
opportunity fer a natural replace
ment of forest growth on lands not
suited or not now needed for agri-
culture or settlements; and, further
more. the Southern Forestry Con-
press urges the States and he FEEDER
al Government jointly TO cooperate
iberally with owners IN this direction.

III-TAXATION.
WHEREAS the present system of

BE IT RESOLVED, by the South
ern Forestry Congress that 1t ap-

LOUISIANA COURT
.HALTS STATE HIGH
WAY BUILDING.
Civil District Court of New Orleans
Grants Injunction Restraining
Louisiana Highway Depart
ment From Building
TO HAMMOND AT EX-
PENsE OF CHEF MENTEUR
Funds-Victory for the Mississippi
Gulf Coast-New Orleans High
way-It Is Hoped lnjunc-
tion Will Be Perpetual.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 18.-Louis-
lana Highway Department was enJoin-
ed by Judge King of the civil district
court Wednesday from proceeding to
build any part of the New Orleans
Hammod highway until the Chef
Menteur route from New Orleans to
Logtown, Miss, has been completed.
The injunction was granted on the
application of attorneys representing
seven taxpayers of st. Tammany pa
rish, John K. Griffith, Fritz Salmen,
Henry H. Mayfeld, Charles Everitt,
w. Edward Cause, John F. Polk and
w. G. Neuhauser. 1t was directed
against Duncan Buie, state highway
engineer and Frank NJ. Kerr, president
of the Board of State Engineers.
The application for the injunction
was based on the provision Of the act
of the Legislature of 1918, under
which 100000 bond issue for the
building of the two highways was au-
thorized, that the Chef Menteur route
must be constructed first. The ap-
plicants alleged that it will require
whole $500, 900 to build that road and
that therefore no funds should be di-
verted to the Hammond project.
Several months a similar suit was
filed by the St. Tammany parish IN
terests, but was dismissed by the late
Judge Theard of the civil district
court. on the grounds that the action
was premature, no action to divert
any funds then being imminent.
Charges MIR. Buie.
Wednesdays suit charges that Mr..
Buie awarded contract on February
9 to T. G.. Womack to build section
of the Hammond highway near Ponch-
atoula for $59,641.08. This award,
the petition recites was approved on
FRIDAY bv the Board of Liquidation of
the State Debt.
The petitioners prayed thas ar,
Buie be restrained from signing the
Womack contract or from drawing
anv warrants against the bond issue
to paw for any work except on the
Chef Menteur road, by which it is
MANNED to link New Orleans with
the Mississippi Gulf Coast via st.
Tammany parish.
Although the petition wos present
ed Wednesday to Judge King for the
preliminary restraining order, it will
not be formally allotted until noon
Thursday. The judge of whatever dl-
vision of the court it falls to Will flx
the date of the trial to determine
whether or not the injunction would
be perpetuated.
