How t. get the case reopened after the suprem, 'oUrt had passed on 1t was the question The first thought was of communication f the sentence to life Imprisonment by ne governor of the state, but Burch/was lfrah to risk it. He then bethoughi iimself of the ancient common law wril E coram nobis, or vobis, and applied tc ne Rankin county court, which refUsee q hear it and promptly threw it out ot | demurreY-as Burch expected. From the lecision of the Rankin county court 3urch appealed his coram nobis writ t; 10 supreme con~t an1 for the first time

 The application was triable before, q Rankin county jury but the lawyer wa lfraid to risk them and stretched his un
 card of procedure another notch by de handing R change of Nd1ue on the round that 'Hawie could not get a faii rial there. The case was sent to New. on county, where it was tried and the 'ury, after listening to the testimony by which it was attempted to be shown thai Tawie was crazy; that he had inherited insanity, for week, also to lengthy rguments by attorneys, returned yer.

 The effect of that verdict was to set lside the Judgment and death sentence nder which Hawie was overshadoweG md to grant him a new trial on tho merits of the case and that is the issue lpon which he will be placed on tria Monday at Decatur.

Keeps Hair in Curl on
 Hot or Windy Days

Here's hair curling secret that is de- cidedly worth while" Just apply little liquid silmerine before doing up the hair, using clean tooth brush for the purpose drawing this down the hair from crown to tip. In three hours you will have as beau tiful curls and waves you could wish for. The waviness will look so natural no one will guess it artifcially acquired. And it will last ever so long. regardless of heat, wind or dampness.
 You obtain liquid silmerine at any drug store and few ounces will last long time. It is neither sticky nor greasy and is pleasant to use. It is doubly useful be- cause of also serving beneficial dress ing, keeping the hair soft, silky and lustrous. Adv.

OLD PRESIDENT GETS JOB

Dr. H. L. Whitfield, for twelve years superintendent of the l. l. and C., at tColumbus, has been elected superintend- ent of the Bolivar County Agricultural High School. at salary said to be larger than the state paid him as head or it's woman's coll ege. pr. Whitfield got caught in the political whirlpool and was soon scalped. Nothing could be said against him or his management of the institution. but he was not lined up with the Bilboites politically and had to walk
 the plank, as did President Smith of the A. and M. Lightning is said to play strange pranks. but lightning is not in
 the same class in that respect with Mis- sissippi politics. Ability and experience
 are not taken into consideration. Mir. Whitfield has not pulled the bell cord
 over old Beck in forty years, but he has
 the executive ability needed in and
 around great county agricultural
 school and his friends do not doubt
 he will make success in his new field

 It would be ridiculous even to as- sume that any reader of these lines has not been familiar from infancy or from the event-with the names and achievements of Grant, Lee. Sherman, Sheridan, Mcclellan, Jackson, Meade, Hooker. Custer. and probably Long street and Beauregard, leaders in war fought nearly sixty years ago. To the public of 1867 these names were certainly as vivid as they are today yet how many readers can name a sim gle American general who commanded any one of the huge separate armies
