From The Home Sector
 Everyone admits today that French prestige in America is waning. records a Parisian journalist who has just re- turned home Q ter spending the first year of peace in this country. His be lief in this supposed condition arises from his all too ready acceptance Of yet another supposed condition-that Ger. man propaganda has led most of Ameri- ca to believe that France was beaten along with Germany (and done up rath- CT worse than Germany; that America really dd win the war and that It IS 10
 America which Germany now pays that grudging, but genuine homage which the bully always accords a proved physical
 superior.
 If it is any comfort for the French
 journalist to know it. he is all wrong, He has been privileged to witness the de
 cline not of French prestige. but of American emotionalism. For instance
 he reports that when he arrived here, if
 he merely stood on street corner un uniform of course), to wait for trolley ear. half dozen limousines would draw up in front of him and half dozen heads be thrust cut with the greeting. Where are you going? You must let me take you It will be a great honor for me- When he left, few weeks ago

COUNCIL ID URGE
 AN INTERNATIONAL
 BLOCKADE COUNCIL
By Associated prem

San Sebastian, Spain. August 3.-The council of the League of Nations will recommend to the assembly of the league at it's next meeting that an international blockade commission be appointed 10 plan for the application of an economic blockade in case of war, it was announced a a public ses- sion of the council this morning. The assembly of the league will meet at asGeneva next November and will be presided over by Paul Hymans, the Belgian foreign minister.
 The international blockade commits sion will probably be composed of equal ndmber of the council and the assem bly, of the League of Nations but may be superseded by another organiza ton after the question has been more fully studied. In the discussion of the question it was pointed out that the article of the covenant of the league covering the use of the economic block ade provided for simultaneous, separate action by the several mem bers, but that it was evident that close CO., ordination was needed 10 be effective, consequently central organization would be necessary
 It was also deched by the council to invite the United States government 10 make provisional arrangements for direct representation either at the in ternationaI conference on freedom of transit, to be held at Barcelona early next year. or to participate indirectly in the meeting The object of the Barcelona conference will be to plan ways and means of preventing any country from profiting by it's geo graphical situation by hindering the free movement of international traffic and to arrive at a clearer and more uni form system for regulating such traffic.
 The United States also will be invited to participate in the organization ot the International health office" which the council has decided to create. Thf object of this organization, as defined by the council, is to advise the League of Nations on health matters, to bring the administrative health authorities of different countries into closer rela tionship. to cooperate with the Leagu of Red Cross Societies, to organize health missions and to supervise tht protection of working men from in sanitary conditions.
 The council also decided that tho League of Nations has no authority tc determine whether the expenses of thu Sarre boundary commission should bt paid by the inhabitants of the regio; or by France and Germany jointly a: proposed by the council of ambassa dors It was decided to merely repea the resolution concerning the Sarr' basin, which was interpreted as re quiring the inhabitants of that regior 10 bear the expenses.
 The council will hold another pri vate meeting this afternoon and tomor row, and will close it's work here witt public gathering on Thursday. A that time it is probable it will an nounce decisions regarding mandate for various countries covering coIonie and territories whose populations arr not considered ready for self-deter imitation.

Former Sheriff Quits
Job-Back to Farm

Former Sheriff w. Ed Smith can't
resist the call of back to the farm
since he has finished his four years
tenure of office in Lincoln county.
This is Notwithstanding the fact that
ha has had several lucratice offers
and really had what would be called
"a good job" in another calling than
farming.
The fact is that Mr.. Smith, when
he went out of office had position
with the new government prohibi-
tion department, in which service he
proved an excellent man, having been
the leading spirit In raids on moon
sinners in Marion county and else
where, but the kind of service he was
expected to give did not suit him.
He did not enjoy ''snoopin' round
in the woods, as he calls it, and he
has given up his position, sold his
home in Brookhaven to Mr.. e. v.
McInnis and will shortly move out
on a small farm he has three miles
from town.
The place Mr.. Smith will move to
is not in the best of repair, but he
intends to develop it SO that 1t will
soon be one of the best and judging
by the model home Mr.. Smith per-
fected in Brookhaven, the county is
going to be profted by the improve
ment ahead of his country home.

BRYAN DISAPPOINTED
OVER SUFFRAGE VOTE
Hopes Mississippi Will Yet Fall
in Line For The Anthony
Amendment.

Colonel William ]. Bryan, is very
much disappointed over Mississippi's
failure to ratify the Federal Amend
ment for woman suffrage. In a let
ter to Miss Belle Kearney, one of
the suffrage leaders in this state, he
says in part:-
Suffrage is here. / hope it will
be an accomplished fact in time for
women to have a part in our conven-
tions as well as in our elections. They
saved our president in 1916 when
the men went back on him, and we
may need them this year.
However, this is partisan argu-
ment. There Is a higher reason for
woman suffrage. We need the wo-
mems vote to make certain of prohi-
bition, and to promote universal
peace. If we had woman suffrage
even Governor Edwards and Govern
or Smith would not hope for the res
direction of John Barleycorn.
''It would certainly be appropriate
for Mississippi. the first state to rati-
fly prohibition, to furnish the 36th
vote for the ratification of suffrage.
She would thus become the Alpha
and Omega of the two greatest re-
forms of the generation. / am still
cherishing the hope that majority
of the two houses will agree to make
Mississippi the 36th State"

Manager Powers Checked In" by
Telephone Company.

Mr.. H. G. Powers, who by the way
is brother Of Mr.. Lawrence Powers
the popular young gentleman who
once so narrowly missed being Brook
haven's Mayor, has been officially
made the manager Of the Cumber-
land Telephone Company in Brook
haven.
Mr.. Powers has had fifteen years
of experience in the business and has
been handling offices as manager for
period of ten of those years. He
comes to Brookhaven from Port Glib
son and will remove his family here
at the close of the school term.
Mr.. Powers is considerably handi-
capped by the reconstruction and re-
pairs still going on at the Exchange
and which he hopes to see completed
in about ten days, He expects to
give first-class Service when things
are again in ship-shape, which is i'm
possible under present circumstances.
Mr.. Powers expects, when all equip
ment has been renewed and augment
ed, to note any deficiency that may
exist in other quarters and If found
he is going to remedy the admins
tration Of affairs at the Exchange
until the service is as near 100 per
cent of what 1t should be as possible.
