COUNTY ADVISORY
COMMITTEE MEETS
Highly Interesting and Instruc-
tive Meeting Held This
Morning.

A meeting of the Lincoln County
Agricultural Advisory Committee was
held this morning in joint session
with the Board of Supervisors, who
adjourned informally for the time
of the session.
The meeting, as far as regular
members were concerned, was rather
slimly attended, but on account of
the interest manifested in various
questions as it progressed, there was
considerable of crowd present be-
fore adjournment was had. These
subjects were of paramount import
ance to not only farmers but the gen.
eral citizenship of the county.
Chairman B. E. Summers called
the meeting to order, after which
County Demonstration Agent Legett
gave lengthy talk on vital matters
concerning the purpose of the body
and it's aims.
When the election of officers came
up, the term of one year having ex-
pired for those serving, Mr.. Henry
Legett was elected chairman and Mr..
S. P. Oliver, secretary.
Among those who made interesting
and instructive talks were S. P. Oil
yer, E. L. Herring, J. Q. Brister, s..
b. McNair and Brent, these gentle
men being Joined in response by va
rious parties present when certain
subjects were brought up.
A vote to increase the good roads
tax to three mills was almost unani-
nous by a vote called for by the
raising of hands. The establishment
of a milk station for the southwest
ern residents of the county at Bogue
Chitto will also be taken up on ac-
count of those in that section having
to travel 18 miles to Brookhaven dur
ing bad weather. Cooperation in
buying and selling among the farm
ers was strongly urged. 1t was
shown that the special tax paid by
auto owners was almost equal to the
total tax paid for road purposes by
those who did not own the self-pro-
PEELED vehicles. The general run of
commercial fertilizers were condemn
ed as not being worth the price paid
Tor them, as was also the general
run of fruit tree orchard men who
made contracts that they would keep
up the orchards for three years,
spraying and pruning the trees. Good
interest and work was reported in
terracing lands.
Stronger interest was urged in the
work by all farmers as a means of
mutual benefit. Careful considera-
tion of the work of the Board of
Supervisors under the high price era
under which they are laboring when
prices are as high as 300 per cent,
more than they were four years ago
while taxes are not over 20 per cent
what they were at the same time
with more advantages than ever in
history was cited to the qualification
OF the general citizenship of the
county.
A more extended report of the
meeting will be made by the secre-
tary in another issue.

WESSON SALE HAS
BIG OPENING DAY
Atkinson & Mcdonald Co., Stock
is Being Greatly Sought
, After-GOing Fast.

AS the trains, the automobiles,
buggies, wagons and "one horse
shays" moved into Wesson Saturday
morning, Jan. 31st., along with "foot
passengers" on business bent, the
Oldest inhabitant began to look UP
and to scent something unusual in
the air. HUH" he said, Come to
Wesson for the sale! l knowed it,"
And a great many knew" about
it for the management of the sale
for the VIM. Atkinson & Mcdonald
Co., had used printers ink and made
line of publicity that finally cob
webbed Lincoln and Copiah and ad-
joining territory for forty miles a.
round. Everybody "knowed"; and
by seven a. m, Saturday morning,
the initial day Of the Great Sale,
eager crowds were pressing against
the doors of the advertising store at
its Closing Out Sale and more than
the expected happened; for the sales
ran up the first day to $6,350.2O.
And Monday was another good day
for Monday-the sales lowering be-
yond the $4,000 mark. Mr.. G. w.
Bleecker, the alert and urbane man
ager, was the happiest man in the
5rowds-except the one that bought
The largest amount of goods and
therefore profited the most and re-
ceived the prize.
There was scarcity of nothing ex-
cept floor space for the jam of hui
manity that surged back and forth
and around the center aisles-from
the needles and pins counter, passed
the marvellous dress-goods and dry
goods, mems furnishings, shoes, etc.,
to crockery and graceries--all at won
derfully reduced prices. 1t was not
time for extravaganza; but fol
getting what you wanted Rt a
thrift" price.
Patrons of the selling out firm are
going to wear their silken afternoon
dresses and their check-aprons as
well, as though they paid the profit
eers for them! But it was Clear
ing Out Sale" and things had to go.
Another ad. is in today's paper and
reserve stock is being placed on the
counters. The, last days of the sale
are now expected to be greater than
the first. Prices are cut in two and
the store-force is right there with the
goods-at Wesson.

DON'T GIVE A DAMN"
FOR PARTY POLITICS
Qualifications Only Necessary
Says Colonel HOuse-The
Sun Do Move.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 31.-Colonel E.
M. House has returned to New York
after spending two weeks in Texas
visiting friends. He said before his
departure that his visit to his old
home in Austin was merely prelimi-
| nary to his return and making this
city his permanent place of residence.
In keeping with his usual custom he
declined many invitations to be the
guest of honor at banquets and re-
ceptions. The nearest he came to
breaking this invariable rule was in
attending a reception given for him
by Governor Hobby.
While in Austin, Colonel House
| was called upon informally by scores
of old friends from various parts of
the state. Naturally, many of these
men are Of more or less prominence
in Democratic and state politics. AS
far as could be learned, however, the
subject of state or national politics
was not discussed by any of them
with Colonel House. The nearest he
came to expressing himself on any
phase of politics was when he was
questioned by The Times-Picayune'
correspondent as to his views on the
available candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination for president
Without committing himself on the
subject, he spoke in the highest
praise of Herbert Hoover. He said
he considered Mr.. Hoover one of the
truly great figures that had come out
of the world war.
Colonel House talked freely in a
general way of his work at the peace
conference. He takes special pride
in the organization of experts who
accompanied him to Paris. He said
this organization was made up of |
sixty men he had selected without
regard to their political affiliations
They were drawn from all parts of |
the country, and each was special
list in his particular line. Colonel
House said:-
mot long after 1 reached Paris
some one said to me: DO you know
that in one of your groups of twenty
experts there are seventeen Republi-
cans?'
Il replied: I don't give damn If
they are all Democrats. Their poll
tics had nothing to do with their
selection or their qualifications for
the work they are doing"
Colonel House expressed the belief
that it was due to the work of these
experts that the United States dele
cation assumed the leadership at the
peace conference. These experts had
been working for two years gather
ing and compiling data and formu-
lating reports on the various subjects
that would probably be involved in
the peace conference work They
were able to lay before that body
full and comp1ete Information on /
practically every phase of any sub
ject that came up for consideration
No other country represented at the
peace conference was anything like
as well equipped in the matter of ex-
pert information as the United States.
Among other things Colonel Houses |
organization in Paris took over with
it the most complete and wonderful |
collection of maps probably ever as
sembled. In the preparation of these
maps Colonel House had the services
of the staff of the National Geogra-
phical Society.

A VISION FOR THE FUTURE.

Perhaps Brookhaven can have a
tree warden after a while. He would
have power to select trees for each
street and have the care of those
already planted. Citizens could claim
his interest and attention on private
property and fruit trees would soon
adorn our back yards and reduce the
high cost of living while the city
parks and squares would materialize
and become things of beauty under
the attention Of one who knows a.
bout such things,

ton in this county up to January 16
is just three hundred bales short of
the total figures for the correspond
ing period last year, according. to

Increasing Bond Yields

With new railroad bonds offered on
z per cent basis this year and old
ones of good quality selling yielding
even higher, it is interesting to re-
cav the yields of previous years. "In
current bulletin shows, "the yield
from municipals was 3.31; rails.
40; utilities 4.63; industrials, $50. In
1910, municipals, 400; rails, 4.21; util-
tiles, 4.79; industrials. 525." In view
Of the present high returns on bonds,
investors are naturally asking their
bankers whether the present is the
time to make purchases or whether
prices are going lower" the City Bank
adds. "The ready absorption Of new
issues at present levels during the
summer seems to indicate that the
general public has come to the con-
clusion that if prices are not at their
low level, securities are nevertheless
an attractive purchase"

After the Rise in Bonds

"It is Wall Street axiom that
strong bond market is always followed
by rising stock market" according to
j. S. Bache & Co.'S market comment OF
yesterday. "The gradual absorption Of
investment securities at advancing
prices seems to be in anticipation Of
the definite elimination of the tight
money period which we have been ex-
periencing, with q few brief Interrupt
lions, since last November. In other
words. we have gone through 80 per
cent of tight money period and funds
seeking investment are not willing to
wait for the last day to make their
commitments. Furthermore, our ma
jor downward movement. which started
on November 8 with an industrial aver
age high of 1882. reached low Of
$500 on August 10 and, if the stock
market were to keep pace with money
conditions, the decline Of 36.42 would
have to continue for another eight
points. While industrials may be cx-
pectcd on the average to decline be-
low their low of August 10 within the
next two months, it would not be logi-
cal to expect them to make an ex-
IRENE decline to approximately rs in
order to keep up with the money pc
riod. On the contrary, buying of
standard stocks may be expected in
anticipation Of an early elimination of
money stringencv. With the railroads
Closing last night at their highest level
since March 26, their next test Of
strength Will be the ability to break
through the high of March 13-78.75.
They need only 1863 to do this and
their efforts will be watched with much
interest. However, we do not expect a
runaway market for rails. since they
cannot be expected to continue their
advance indefinitely during unsettled
industrial conditions"

Barter in Export Trade

American foreign trade interests
might adopt to advantage the barter
method of trading as an emergency
measure under present abnormal ex
change conditions, in the opinion Of
the Guaranty Trust Company, which
discusses this interesting phase Of in
ternational business in its fortnightly
foreign trade bulletin. Attention has
been directed frequently during the
last year." says the bank, "to the eco
nomlc situation Of the peoples Of Aus
tria, Germany, Czecho- Slovakia. Ru-
mania and other bordering countries.
The extremely low exchange values O;
their currencies render purchases
abroad almost prohibitive in cost, vet
without the importation of supplies of
raw material and equipment industries
can be restored but haltingly and with
serious delay. In view Of the impor-
tSnt relation which export trade now
holds to our new shipping interests
and to our general national prosperity.
it appears that the initiative to enter
the field of barter operations should
be found in the United States as we'll
as elsewhere. 1t should not be beyond
the powers Of our traders to create the
machinery that would permit of a con-
siderable direct exchange of products
during the present abnorma! perioH
Some such operations have been in.
augurated, but much more can be done :"

Another Drop in Sugar

The announcement yesterday of an
other drop in the price of refined sugar
by one of the large refineries again
calls attention to the weakness of the
local market. The latest decline brings
Quotations Of this refinery down to Is
cents pound, the lowest since spring.
The reduction is an effort to stimulate
business and move large accumulations
in preparation for the coming crop.
Lack of demand and stringent money
conditions have seriously curtailed SUI
gar business in the last few weeks
and prices have had a sagging tend
cncy. While refners have met with
