GREAT PLAY AT
new THEATRE

No one watched the recent brave
struggle of William F. Cody buffalo
Bilp with the Grim Spectre more
than Fred Burns, the actor and ex-
pert horseman.
For six years Burns had charge of
Cody's great stock ranch near Chey-
enne, Wyo., where he "broke" wild
mustangs for Buffalo Bills great
travelling show, and the two men had
always been fast friends.
Burns, by the way, did some Won
derful horsemanship in "The Eyes of
the World" Clune's new cinema pro-
duction. which is son to be shown at
the WHYTLE & HOS.E, NEW
THEATRE, Water Valley, on March
12.
Many of the thrills in this big fea-
ture are supplied by the wonderful
feats of Burns and Wasley Warner.
In "The Eyes of the Word" one of
the greatest episodes is the search Of
the mountain ranges for the kidnap-
ed girl, Sibyl Andres. 1t is this part
of the story which supplies the horse
men with opportunities to do their re-
markable feats. Burns is fine spec
linen of the typical broncho twister,
He is six feet two inches high and
weighs 200 hundred pounds. After
his experience at Buffalo Bills ranch
he Joined the Wild West Show and
travelled all over America and Europe,
creating sensation after sensation
with his fearlessness and daring acts
on horseback,

RAISE THEIR OWN SALARY BUT
NARY A CENT FOR
GOOD ROADS

JACKSON, Mss. Feb. 26.-Fur-
ther efforts to enact uniform state
highway legislation with S25, ,000,-
600 bond issue proposition included
were blocked again today for the
third time. This resulted when the
House by close vote this afternoon
adopted a motion to definitely With
hold the Roberts bill! from the Senate
Mr.. Pate of Kinds, author of the rig
inal House bill, declared that the e.
up would not Tease him or restrain the
good roads advocates from hammer
ing away until some measure OF leg
islation acceptable to both sides is
gotten through.
1t was the address of Mr.. Stone OF
Washington County in analysis OF the
Roberts bill that brought about Its
defeat. Had the member not eX.
pressed his opposition and dissected
the various clauses of the measure II
would probably have passed without
amendment by narrow margin. Inc
motion to indefinitely postpone was
carried by just one vote, showing thet
the House was about evenly divided
on the question, the count being o1
to Sc.
Mr.. Stone also put the finishing
touches on the Pate bill, defeated in
the House two weeks ago. His at
tack on the Roberts bill was rather
unexpected and friends of the bill
realized when he took the floor that
vote changing would be the inevitabe e
result.

CHINESE STILL 1COLOREI

firms His Decision

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 25.-Ac-
cording to Attorney General Frank
Robertson he is hearing almost daily
from persons far and near re ative 70
his recent opinion rendered to TIE
state department of education, giving
a strictly judicial construction of tllS
application of the race segregatipa
laws of Mississippi; especially whea !
the common schools are concern vi.
This was question which was spruns i
on the state department Of educats4 ii
by the Greeleille school boarfaS ah

ates were themselves uncertain asS.T
the racial classification of the Chinesk
and so the question was submitted to
Attorney-General Robertson.
After delving into constitutional
and statute law, state and federal,
and scanning judicial decisions cover
ing the same line Gen. Robertson
found recently decided Mississippi
case which satisfied him. This was
that notwithstanding the ethnologi
cal difference between the people Of
Mongolian and African descent, the
Chinese could not be held to be 9TH
erwise than as not "white" or Cauca-
sian but rather that they are 'colored.'
The majority Of the communica-
tions which has been received are
couched in terms of felicitation, and
some of the writers have gone so far
as to attribute the authorship, or re-
spcnsibility for the law to him. AS
he modestly states: II did not write
the law, or even construe or under
take to costrue it. I only found what
our court has held on the subject, and
submitted the result of that finding
to the inquiring authorities"
He has heard from watchful stu
dents of affairs and economies, locat-
ed all the way from Texas to Mass
achusetts, who have asked for the
opinion and also for the Claw which
he has given in support of his conclu-
sions.

advocating the nationwide adoption
Of the idea as successfully applied In
California, Ohio and Maryland until
every one of the 2064 counties ln the

The book needs OF the sixty million
or more Americans who live outside OF

County Libraries Urged.
The county library system provides
for establishing one central library at
the county seat or in the largest town
In every county. This does not mean
necessarily the erecting of library
building and the stocking of its shelves
In many cases the tools already exist
From this central station books Will
be loaned to designated outpost sta
tlons. The books will be delivered by
trucks parcel post or whatever method
may be adopted In any given county to
the country stores, tollgates, post Of
dces, schoolhouses and private homes
When one shipment has been circulat'
ed and returned another will be sent
out. Also, In communities of any size
In the county, branch libraries will be
maintained.
The American Library Association,
with its 1000 active librarian men,
bers and Its 40 years of practical funce
tioning, is in a position to know the
needs of the country and In the Aght

be no drive or intensive campaign.
The money will be raised by the libra
