No Decision In The
Drainage Conference

The conference Of representatives
from Yazoo, Holmes, Humphreys and
Leflore counties held at the court
house in this city yesterday to dis
cuss the drainage district proposition
Of the Delta counties north Of Green
wood, adjourned without reaching any
definite conclusion in the matter.
Should the upper counties carry out
their plans for drainage and dump the
overflow waters from that section on
the southern tier of counties, it would
prove disastrous to the farming inter
ests thereof, and it behooves the peo-
pie of this section to inaugurate some
substantial means Of protection.
The question is one Of vital import
anee to every property owner in the
four counties named above, and they
cannot afford to delay action in the
matter of being prepared to protect
their interests.

THROUGH THE AGENCY OF
/. W. W. REVOLUTION AND
MASS STRIKE WAS
PLANNED.
Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Apr. 14-Evidence

dertaking was to use the railroad

disclosed that the Communist Party is
financing and otherwise aiding the
strike through the agency of the In
dustrial Workers of the World.
Evidence secured is declared TO JUS

HOME OF MEANS
JOHNSTON BURNS
Story and Half Dwelling In North
Greenwood Completely Destroyed
With Portion OF Contents.

The home Of MIR. and Mrs. Means
Johnston on River Front, in North
Greenwood was completely destroyed
by fire last night at O'clock. The
blaze originated from a defective flue
and started between the walls. The
citizens in North Greenwood have no
fire protection and it was impossible
to save the dwelling.
A portion Of the furniture was saw
ed and the piano was rescued from the
flames. The family's clothing was in
the upper story and it was practically
all destroyed. The residence and
household furniture were insured for
$500, which will only partially Gov
er the loss.
The blaze had gained great head
way before it was discovered. Mrs.
Johnston was in the house and when
she discovered the fire, the whole of
one side Of the roof was in flames.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. A.
Joiner, west of the Johnston home
was endangered by the fire and if it
had not been for prompt work of the
firemen and volunteers, who worked
with buckets and garden hose, i'll
would probably have at least been
partially destroyed. The windows
were broken out by the heat and the
walls blistered.
The fire department went to the
scene of the fire, but the blaze had
too much a start to save the house by
the use of the chemical extinguishers.
They were kept in readiness however,
and if the Joiner house had caught,
they would have been used.

FAMOUS CLOWN

Health Tricks--National Conference
Of Social Work Convened In New

NEW ORLEANS, La. April Ia
The grown-folks will not be the only
ones who will enjoy the great Nation
al Conference of Social Work in New
Orleans for the week starting today
and ending April q. Special enter
tainment is being prepared for all the
children of the South, If they can meet
together in New Orleans, in the Elks
Hall, Friday, April 16. There they
viii be met and entertained for hours

Have Demanded
Chinese Surrender

Bolsheviki have demanded that the

governors Of Manchuria, where Sem
enoff took refuge after leaving Siber-

ed over this question and watching
Congress an dthe Supreme Court with
close scrutiny. 1t is the biggest
thing since slavery, in popular in
terest."
Looking forward to possible uphold
ing by the Supreme Court of every
phase of constitutional and legisla-
tive prohibition, the people, who are
lined up on the opposing sides OF the
uqestion of relaxing laws, find them
selves facing fights to be made in the
future for modification of the acts Of
Congress, SO as to permit state legis-
lation in conformity if desired.
It is pointed out that the "drys," In
most Of the states, have two lines OF
trenches which must be carried by the
"wets. before the present stronghold
Of the "drys" can be captured. The
first line Of defense is the act OF
Congress, defining alcoholic content.
The second line of defense is the state
statute, in the dry states, on the sub
ject.
In other words, if Congress could
be elected which would abate the re-
strictions, there are yet the state laws,
for Congress could not make state
awet' if the stated voted otherwise.
The political aspect Of the question
il that neither Of the two great part
les is likely to include wet planks in
their national platforms. Prohibition
is expected to be endorsed by the
platforms. The recourse Of those who
favor or oppose modification will be
to fight or support individual candi-
dates, running on both the antional
platforms, but with declared individ-
nal views upon the subject.
