Y. M. C. A, ACTIVE AT
CAMP WILLIAMSON
''Y" Men Make Life at Encamp-
ment Happy-Furnish Va
riety of Things.

Capt. Geo. H. Marshall, of the
State Y. &C. A. has just returned
from two weeks outing with the
Mississippi National Guard in their
maneuvers at Camp Williamson,
where he endeavored to make life
for the boys worth while. In his
capacity as camp recreational sec
retary, he was ever on the job doing
odd jobs or furnishing amusements
for the boys. The "Y" tent was
crowded all the time with boys
writing letters, playing the victrola,
rook or other games and usually the
boys finished their day with good
old song from their Soldiers Song
Book.
In letter to Mr.. Marshall, Major
Charles L. Dulin, camp adjutant,
had the following to say in regard
to the work which the Y. NJ. G. A.
did for the boys while in camp
For the first time within my
knowledge, the Y. M. c. A. was rep
resented at Mississippi National
Guard encampment. You arrived
Monday, July Il, and it was very
pleasing to note the efficient way
in which you went about establish
ing your headquarters in this camp.
Large quantities Of writing mater
ials have been furnished with at
tendant facilities, also stamps were
provided, This alone was very help
full to the four hundred and nifty
odd men in camp. 1t is also noted
that victrola and athletic equip
ment, including complete base
ball outfit. quoits, rook, dominoes,
ETC., were furnished.
Considering the fact that the
schedule Of instruction was a long
and strenuous one, your activities
have done much good in amusing
the men and holding them in camp.
The undersigned wishes to ex-
press his appreciation and pleasure
at the efforts you have personally
made and at the success you have
attained, and he is sure that he is
voicing the unanimous sentiment Of
the entire command.
'It is recommended and request
ed that this good work be continued
at future encampments.
"Chas. L. Dulin,
Major @. M. c., Miss, N. G.
Camp Adjutant. !"

DEAF CAN BE CURED
SAYS OSTEOPATH
Three Year-Old Boy Reported to
Have Gained Hearing :
Deaf from Birth.

Cleveland. o., July 25.-Deaf
mutes can be cured. This was an
nounced today at the National osteo-
pathic Convention by DR.. Curtis H.
Muncie, of Brooklyn.
"a boy, three years of age, was
brought to me-" he said, deaf from
birth, and, therefore, speechless. Ex-
animation Of the eustachian tubes
showed that they never had develop
ed fully, and in their undeveloped
state were closed. The drum men,
brane was retracted badly. The boy
was operated upon, the tubes recon
structed to the ,bony canal. On his
return home there was band play
ing. The boy looked in the direction
of the music, put his hands to his
ears and laughed, and gave other
sings that he could hear.
Following this demonstration, his
mother put him through many other
tests which proved his hearing pres
ent. From this point on there was a
gradual Improvement in his hearing
He soon learned to talk and in six
months time his hearing was normal
and speech improving fast This pa
tient was always falling and stumb-
ling before his operation, due to the
effect of his deafness upon his equil-
ibrium. After the operation his bal
ance became normal Immediately.
IF osteopathic. operative construe-
tive finger surgery were limited only
to the cure of these little sufferers
who without it are destined to &c
through life shut in from the world
its value to humanity would be i'm.
measurable. but when we consider
Its possibilities Of also restoring hear
ing to those who have been deaf fol-
years, we can feel right proud Of this
technique and show our enthusiasm
because Of its results"

Mothers and Babies to Benefit.

The Sheppard bill providing for CO.
operation between the federal gov
ernment and the states in "protec-
tion of maternity and infancy was
passed by the Senate and sent to the
House.
The vote on passage was SO to 7,
after sharp clashes between advo-
Gates and it's opponents, the former
denying that it contemplated inter-
ference in the home, the latter
asserted that it was "socialistic,
parternalistic and Bolshevik."
Three Republicans, Senator Borah,
Idaho; Moses, New Hampshire, and
Warren, Wyoming, were joined by
four Democrats, Broussard, Louisia-
ma; King, Utah; Reed, Missouri, and
Watson, Georgia, in opposing the
bills passage.
The Federal Child,s Bureau would
administer the act. An effort by
Senator Moses, Republican, New
Hampshire, to transfer administra-
tion to the public health service,
was defeated 81 to 8.
The bill carries initial appropria-
tions of $1,4S0,000 which the states
would be required to match.

silent admirer of the work of the
Salvation Army. I desire to public

MURDERER OF WOMAN
is LYNCHED BY MOB
Casey Jones Hanged in Front Of
Hattiesburg Jail For
Crime.

Hattiesburg, Miss, July 23.-Ef-
forts today failed to establish the l.
IDENTIFY of persons in the mob who
took Casey e. Jones, convicted OF
the murder of Mrs. ]. S. Moseley,
wife of mail carrier of Hattfes-
burg, from the Forrest county Jail
early today and hanged him to the
limb of tree in front of the jail.
Jones case is pending an appeal to
the State Supreme Court.
Coroner ]. e. Hullett and jury of
six citizens were busy all day In
vestigating the lynching but the
identity of none of the lynchers was
fixed. 1t was determined that the
front door of the Jail was pried open
with crow bar and two other doors
broken into in the same way.
The combination cell locked be-
hind which Jones and two other pris-
oners were held was broken into with
the use of an acetylene torch.
Hardware merchants could not
identify the rope, which was brand
new.
A rumor that one of the members
of the mob was injured in the fight
with Jones, who was said to have had
a razor, was investigated without re-
suit. A chair was found in the cell,
broken into pieces. but no blood
stained blades were found with a
safety razor which was lying in the
cell.
A man was treated for wounds at
the Methodist Hospital last night,
and this man was questioned by the
Coroner. He asserted that he was
walking down Mobile street at the
time of the lynching, and he was at
tackled by unidentified men, who cut
him severely. He lay unconscious
for some time, he said, when he was
picked up by passing automobilist
and taken to the hospital. He knew
nothing of the lynching, he told the
officers.
Sheriff Will M. Edmondson and
Deputy Joe Gray and Jailer F. M.
Mckenzie were sitting on the back
steps of the courthouse facing the
Jail when they saw the mob of about
seventy-five masked white men bear
ing down on them. They were sur
rounded. by the men, who were heav-
lily armed and ordered to surrender
the prisoner, or that the Jail would
be broken into.
Mckenzie, who had the keys, re-
fused to surrender them and the
mob thereupon proceeded to break
down the door of the Jail and break
other doors between them and the
prisoner. Although not a shot was
fired, it is understood that the pris-
oner put up desperate struggle. He
was overpowered and then carried to
the tree.
The body later was cut down and
taken to the morgue.
One attempt was made on the
night after the killing for which
Jones was convicted, which occurred
in the latter part of April, to lynch
Jones, but was frustrated by the Rev
erend DR.. Harmon. he prisoner was
at that time lying wounded in the
Methodist hospital and the mob
which attempted te remove him was
held at bay by Dr. Harmon with a
pistol, earning the minister the So
briquet locally, "the fighting par
son."
