SMALLPOX NOW IN
HALF OF THE STATE
Situation Under Control and
Thousands are Vaccinated,
Says Health Officer.

Twenty deaths of smallpox have
occurred in Jones county during the
last fourteen days, according. to DIR.
G. M. Shipp, state sanitary inspector,
who left recently for that section, in
company with DIR. Williams. epider-
miologist Of the United States Public
Health Service.
Fifty three cases of the malady
have been found and health officials
are busy vaccinating residents of the
county. Eight thousand have taken
the serum, as furnished free by the
Board of Health.
Forty-one or half of the counties
in Mississippi, reported smallpox in
February with cases totalling 785,
more than in many years. Counties
showing most cases are:- Jones,
Bolivar, Copiah, Holmes, Leflore,
Sunfiower, Madison, Tallahatehie,
Washington and Webster.
Board of Health officials believe
the disease can be kept under control
provided the public co-operates. Vac
cination is recognized as the only
means to combat a spread of small
pox and the fact that 500 residents
OF Jones county took this prevent
ative Is given by the Board as the
reason Of the comparatively few cas-
es there.

TWO CHILDREN DIE
AS ASPLAYHOUSE CAVES
Sandy EmbanLment Falls Near
Hattiesburg Others Are
Injured.

Hattiesburg, Miss, April Two
children were. killed yesterday while
at play under a sand bank on the
Tallahala Lumber Camp railroad at
Runnellstown, about twelve miles
from Hattiesburg. The children were
Clarence Everett Beard, 2 years old,
SON of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Beard,
and BERTHE May Roszell, 8-year-old
daughter Of J.. Roszell, both Of Rum
nellstown. With several other COM
panions they were playing in an ex-
cavation at the foot of a sand em-
bankment, when it tumbled in. Be-
sides the two who were. killed, two
other children were injured, but not
seriously, before they could be res
cued. A double funeral and burial
took place at Green's Greek Cemetery
this afternoon.
If "Alf' Stone, Of Washington
county does not enter the senatoriak
race as the successor of John Sharp
Williams when that distinguished
Mississippian ends his term of office,
1t will not be because he is not re-
ceiying lot Of requests to enter the
contest, his friends here say. Mr..
Stone, with Speaker Conner and Rep
resentative Williams of Noxubee
county, met In Hattiesburg today for
making q fishing trip to the Gulf.
Estimates made today as to the
loss by fire to the Bond Lumber Co.,
and to citizens Of the town of Bond,
placed it at $60O,00o, many residen-
ces being destroyed Sunday, besides
the entire lumber plant and about
two million feet of lumber. The IRE
originated from sparks setting fire to
sawdust and shavings in saw pit.
The lumber plant may not be rebuilt
but 1t is practically certain that a
machinery plant will be built which
will overhaul and build engines and
boilers.

To The Republicans of Mississippi.

You are to be congratulated upon
being deaf to the noise, Scornful Of
the bombast, disregardful of the ef-
forts to subvert and your total in
difference to the calls for State, Dis
tritc and County Conventions re-
Gently made by one w. o. Ligon and
by one Geo. G. Cranberry, who sty-
led themselves Chairman and Sec
retary of the Republican State Ex-
ecutive Committee of Mississippi.
They died, politically and their
claims and titles we're pulverized and
cast to the winds, by the action Of
the Republican National Committee
at st. Louis, Mo-, an February 18th,
1918, when the National Committee,
after full investigation and hear
ing, rejected the credentials of Ligon
and Cranberry and Perry w. How
ard as National committeeman-elect
from Mississippi and seated your
humble servant, who is now the Ma
tional committeeman, and whose
credentials were signed by the late
and lamented DR.. N. M. Woods as
chairman and by DIR. D. w. Sherrod
as secretary of the Republican State
Executive Committee of Mississippi.
In the published Call for State
Convention to be held on April 1st,
1920 "a very appropriate date for
fooling themselves and others) Ligon
and Cranberry, claimed to be acting
Pursuant to the call of the Ma
tional Republican Committee"
This is miSstatement of the facts,
as the Call of the Republican Ma
tional Committee provides that
"The Secretary of the Republican
National Committee is directed to
! promulgate this call by sending a
copy thereof to the member of the
National Committee from each State,
Territory, Territorial possession and
the District of Columbia, and to in
close Herewith copies of the call for
the Chairman and Secretary Of the
State Central Committee or govern
ing Committee of the party therein
to be forwarded to said Chairman and
Secretary by the member of the Ma
tional Committee"
The Secretary of the National Com
mittee, carrying out this instruction,
forwarded the three calls to me and
they were transmitted to Hon. M.
III. Daily, Chairman and to DR.. D..
w. Sherrod, Secretary of the Repub-
lican State Executive Committee of
Mississippi, and no one else and who,
today, April S, 1920, issues the only
legitimate calls for the Republican
State, District, and County Conven-
tions.
The National Republican Commit
tee has underwritten and vouches
for the Call transmitted by their
fellow member to Hon. M. H. Daily.
Chairman and to DR.. D. w. Sher-
rod, Secretary and the support is So
licited Of all loyal Republicans who
are for Party regularity; even of
those who have been misled but who
now realize with whom it is neces-
sary to affiliate, should they desire
to retain their connection with the
Grand Old Party.
Very respectfully,
M. j. MULVIHILL
National Committeeman.

BORROW, DON'T BUY,
IS PAPERS APPEAL
Paper Shortage Forces Chicago
Tribune to Ask People Not
to Buy 1t.

Chicago, Ill.-Newspapers, as a
rule, are seeking subscriptions and
pushing their street sales. The Chi
cago Tribune takes the extraordinary
attitude of asking people not to buy
1t, but borrow copy. The following
editorial explains the unusual sit
uation:
'The Tribune may seem to be
standing on its head, but it is forced
to ask people not to buy Ii. 1t wants
to keep every one of its readers and
gain new ones. but it cannot sell
them all the paper. The paper short
age makes it impossible to do so. II
two families would use one Tribune
we could keep the readers and they
could have the Tribune. We want
the readers; they evidently want the
Tribune. Better days some days, but
just now borrow and don't buy the
Tribune"

ing as it does work among the lum-
Der camps, high schools, and city and
country districts of Mississippi.
1t is stated that every kind Of work
being done by the Y. M. c. A. is be-
ing staged in Mississippi.

to a better citizenship and better
understanding Of the things Of life
thereby.

Jacks and others at the conclusion
Of the supper, which was served in

ABRAMS MAKES REC
ORDEGG SHIPMENT
Ninety-Six Crates Shipped in
| One Day-Paid 80 to 35c
Per Dozen.
1850 Eggs.

1850 Eggs!
Yes, that's some eggs!
: When counted by crates that num-
Der Of eggs fill 96 crates.
Figured by the dozen, as most Of
us know how to count them, they
run up to the enormous total of g.
$50 dozen.
When you ask how much 3A560
seggs-96 crates-or 1850 dozen eggs
are worth at the present time we will
say that the amount is nearly a thou
sand dollars.
a While the figures given above are
interesting Just to scan over that is
not really what we want to tell our
readers. What we do want to inform
sthem on is the fact that all Of the
eggs listed above are the record
shipment for the county in its history
for any one day. All of those 96
srates Of aggs were shipped away
from Brookhaven Wednesday by one
concern-the Abrams Mercantile Co.
While the Abrams firm has always
been an extensive shipper and buyer
~ eggs their consignment this week
evertops any that they have ever
made or that of any other concern
n the county for any one shipment
pr any one dayP
The crates Of eggs took all Of the
room that could be afforded by two
trucks-and they were piled high at
chat. The entire lot went to New
Orleans to wholesale house where
they were distributed out among the
stores Of the Crescent City for sale.
The prices paid in Brookhaven for
the eggs by the Abrams Mercantile
Co., ranged from 80 to 35 cents per
dozen.
Mr.. I. Abrams, head of the firm,
Is justly proud Of the big business
he is doing in this line. He states
that he has shipped SIS cases contain
Ing 1850 dozen for the week prior to
the record shipment, and that there
Is every indication to believe that the
arm will exceed its last years record
for shipments when they sent away
over 1000 cases for the season.
This last years record of export Of
eggs represented an amount OF over
$4,000 paid the farmers and others
by this live firm.
NJ By paying the extreme top price
Mr.. l. Abrams, proprietor of the Alb
rams Mercantile Co., informs the
Leader that he expects to distribute
$50,0O0 for eggs by the close of this
season.
