Deplorable Tragedy
Sunday Morning

Early Sunday morning, somewhere
about o'clock, a tragedy was enacted
at Wilburn's pasture, where the Liberty
Carnival Company was pulling up stakes
to 20 to Tchula for weeks engagement,
having closed one here. 1t appears that
one attache of the company called
"Shorty," whose real name is said to be
Garland Lowe, had been commissioned to
supervise the loading of the tents and
equipments on the baggage car at the
depot. During the work he got in an
alteration with another attache called
cred" at the depot. About an hour after
the dispute, the said "Red" was bending
over a fire at the carnival grounds, ut
terly ohlivious of any danger when
aShorty" walked up from behind and
dealt him three powerful blows about the
head with heavy piece of wood, the first
blow telling him onNthe ground. "Red's"
ear was split in two, his jawbone frac-
kured and he sustained concussion of the
braiYs. rendering him unconscious.
"Shorty made successful departure.
DR.. b. Al. Shepherd was called and on ar
irving found "Red" lying on the wet and
muddy ground. The doctor Immediately
had j. Monroe Roach called who brought
his taxi and the patient was conveyed to
the Community Hospital where the doctor
gave him such attention as was possible
The patient remained unconscious and 1T
was deemed necessary to have him sent
to the state hospital at Jackson for an
X-ray examination. The patient was too
wild and delirious to be handled by the
nurses at the hospital, it requiring iour
strong men to hold him down at times.
Being apprised of the strangers con-
dition, J. A. Logue, in company with
Father j. F. Clerico, went to the hospital
to ascertain what could be done in the
case. Mr. Logue took charge of Reds"
personal effects consisting of a pocket
book with $3.50 in cash, and couple
of letters, and a due card showing his
membership in Local No. 16, New Or
hans, Of the International Elevator Con-
ssructors, class mechanic. The card was
ssgned by A. T. Luhren, the secretary,
showing the last payment on dues to
have been paid December 10. His name
~ shown on the card was J. W. Smith,
and letters in his pocket showed that
his home was at Gadsden, Ala. ]. A.
Loeue advanced $14 for fare to Jackson
of the patient and attendant; Phil Hen
rich used his auto in conveying him to the
depot, and the loan Of a cot and blankets
were made by others. The wounded man
was conveyed to jackson on the afternoon
train by one Of the members Of the car
Rival company and placed in the charity
hospital where he died at one o'clock that

New Brick Yard
For Lexington

The Advertiser has been informed on
reliable authority that one Of the leading
business men of Lexington, who is amply
able to finance any project he may under
take, has decided to open q brick yard
here. This move will necessarily have a
tendency Of encouraging building activity
in this city and locality. The price of
brick has been abnormally high and al
most unobtainable at any price. A brick
yard located here will relieve the situa-
ton materially and prove a paying in
vestment. But the main purpose will be
to prove a stimulus to the building of
houses, for which there is an ever-in-
creasing demand

Jackson, Miss, Jan. ~, 1870.
Dear Mr.. Editor:--I write to request
the indulgence of small space in your
columns for the purpose Of explaining
my position on the important proposition
Of woman's suffrage now engaging the
close and just attention of the Missis.
sipp legislature.
| am heartily in favor of the good
women of our state voting II they want
to and allow me to say, personally l am
fayoring the resolution to submit an
amendment to our constitution to the peo-
pie to be be voted upon next November
on this All-important subject But l am
in serious doubt as to whether the good
folks of our county endorse this amend
ment or not, because so little interest has
been manifested in Holmes for or against
the measure, at least so far as my OBJ
servation goes and IL appears to me, even
less interest is being taken by the good
ladies on the question than by the men.
Am | correct?

New Postohdce
Building For Tchula

Mrs. S. r. T. Perry, the popular and
highly efficient postmistress at Tchula,
has let the contract for the erection of a
commodious brick building to be used for
the postoffiee 1t will be located west
Of D. Maggio's store. The present build
ing is too small for the ever expanding
postal business of growing town like
Tchula and it's location is unfortunate,
as people are compelled to cross the rail-
road tracks to reach it, and often have to
wait long time when long freight trains
are passing, The new site is ideal for
the posofice, and the citizens of Tchula
and patrons Of the Office are delighted

Howard Has Plan for
State Tax Commission

One of the subjects discussed great
deal in legislative circles this year In
what is going to happen to the state
tax commission"
At the opening of the session bills were
poured into the hopper to abolish this
body but the ways and means committee
said no and inasmuch as that committee
raises the money on which to operate the
state 1t has great deal of influence.
There have been several legislators to
suggest informally making the commits
sion elective Now comes John M. Howard
of Durant, elected from a county wherein
the commission is not thoroughly popular,
and proposes making the commission of
nine members, one from each congress
sional district and one to be appointed
from the state at large.
The bill provides as follows:
"That the state tax commission shall
be composed of nine members, one to be
elected for and from eachsan0ngr
district at the November election, 1920,
and in the same manner and time as pro-
vided for the election Of congressman, and
one to be appointed by the governor from
the state at large who shall maintain an
Office at Jackson, Mississippi, at the place
provided for the tax commissioner, that
the terms of office of each said commits
sioner shall be for four years and until
their successors are qualified, commencing
on the first Monday of January, 1921, and
that election for the elective members
shall be held every four years beginning
with the November election, 1920, that
the salaries of each of the elective men,
bers shall be ten dollars day for the
days actually consumed in discharge Of
their duties and in going to, and return
ing from home, not exceeding twelve
hundred dollars in any year, and the sal
AIRY of the appointed member shall be
twenty-five hundred dollars year and
that the travelling expenses Of each MEM
ber shall be paid on itemized bills submit
ted to the auditor along with their ac-
counts for the same, that the said COM
missioner shall elect a secretary or clerk
who shall give the whole of his time to
discharge of his duties as such clerk, the
salary not to exceed eighteen hundred
