LET OLD TIMES RETURN
Correspondent Recommends Psnaeea
For Present Troubles
To the Editor of The Patriot:

To the Editor of The Patriot:
Dear Sir:-The subject of daylight
saving being one Of the principal sub
jeets Of the press before the public at
the present time and entering into the
other great questions, the settlement
present than when it first arose. it is
quite sensible 10 conclude that its
real ending is indicated in the utter
anee Of H. r. Fish of the Boston
Chamber of the Industrial Conference
Board when speaking before several
hundred members of the Economics
Club who gathered recently at the
Narragansett Hotel in Providence.
In substance he said. II am salts
fed there is only one possible solu-
ton to the present unrest and that il
sonal contact which existed SO or so
years ago and that nothing else will
bring il about
Any one familitr with those times
Of so or more years ago can readily
endorse the conclusion of Mr. Fish
and might also add that the daylight
saving problem can be settled in the
same way. Ii must be held in mind
that the conditions in the Industrial
world are quite different today from
what they were half century or
more ago. A millionaire was a per-
son Of great curiosity then while to-
day men are reported to be nearing
the billion mark, and their names COM
monty appear in the public print For
those early days referred to the owner
of a mill or facotry acted as agent or
manager Of that establishment and
any dissatisfaction or grievance be-
tween his employees were quickly set
tied without any lengthy or drawn
out controversy such as end today in
some kind CT arbitration which, after
a short while proves to have been set
tied only temporarily.
It might be well for all concerned,
both laborer and capitalist. to heed
the thought set forth in the lines of
the timely ditty, "Work, boys, work,
and be conteatei as long as you can
ret good square meal, from this you
may rely you will be better by and by
II you'll only put your shoulder to
the wheel"

ing they can now secure all of the
latest records and supplies in Boga-

fore engaged in this business on a
very small scale and when anyone
wished to purchase records or sup

found incomplete.
D. Bienn, the we'll known Column
bia street merchant, has gone into
the business on a large scale and is
now offering all the latest Columbia
records, having several hundred in
stock; large supply Of needles and
parts. If the citizens of Bogalusa
will purchase their records and sup

If you are employed by the Great
Southern Lumber Company, the Be-

live in one of the houses of the Great
Southern Lumber Company, and you
do not take advantage of this OPP
portunity of owning your own home,
there is something radically wrong

considered by the Great Southern
Lumber Company is adopted.
Houses will be offered only to en-
ployes and to persons who now oc-
cupy the houses. If they were Of
fered to the citizens Of Bogalusa at
large, it is likely that all would be
sold in one day.
Next week the location, size etc.,
of the first twelve houses to be Of
fered will be announced. The plan
about to be decided upon is as fol-
lows:
A payment of 5 per cent down
will be required A six-room house,

and condition, will be offered, say
for $4,000. You pay 500 down.

PUBLIC HANGING
AT POPLARVILLE

Poplarville Miss, April 2O.-Dia-
mond House, negro, paid with his life
today for the murder in March, 1919,
of E. ]. Bounds, flagman of the
Southern Railroad.
The scaffold on which the hang
ing took place was built just outside
the Jail in full view of everyone and
one Of the largest crowds ever gath
cred in PoplarviIle witnessed the pro-
ceedings. The prison at 80 walked
up the steps without assistance, keep
ing his head, up. His request to make
statement was granted. The sher-
iff ordered all white people to move
to the right and let the negroes come
close on the left on the big courtyard
lawn. The negro spoke for ten min
utes, On the scaffold he did not
feaze a bit. At LAC the cap was
put over his face and the rope placed
about his neck. While this was be-
ing done he made a full confession.
The fall was eight feet, but did not
break his neck and he died of stran-
gulatiOn. He was pronounced dead
at 2:20 and cut down two minutes
later, put in a casket furnished by
the county and turned over to his
people.
