PAUL HOUSTON GIVEN
 FREEDOM BY VERDICT
 CLAUDE FILES APPEAL


 Meridian, Miss. March 5.-(Special) The jury in the case of Paul Houston, on trial in the circuit court here for the last two days for the murder of W. H. Parker, former justice of the peace in the Collinsville community, returned a verdict of not guilty this morning after being out all night.
 Paul Houston was indicted Jointly with his twin brother, Claude, who was tried first, the jury returning a verdict of guilty as charged, fixing punishment at life Imprisonment. The defense in his case was that he was feeble-minded and not responsible for his acts under stress of extreme excitement. while that of Paul was that he was not a par ticipant at all, being merely present and taking no part The only evidence in his belaf was his own statement from the witness stand. His brother Claude was not placed on the stand.
 Just before court was adjourned for theterm this afternoon Judge Featheree overruled motion for new trial for Claude Houston and his attorney gave notice of appeal to the supreme court.

SUNDAY MOVIES AT

Grabbing off big screen features is not the easiest task in the world, but it's interesting" remarked Hugh Hill in commenting on his Sunday movies attraction for Edgewood park this aft ernoon. When I announced Sunday movies for Edgewood naturally turned to the biggest attraction in the screen world little realizing the cost such a picture would come to. I want Nazimova in her latest production, told the film people. l was rather taken back at the price they put upon this seven-reel feature. which is con- ceded to be the greatest picture Nazi- nova has ever appeared in.
 However, having made up my mind to give the people of Birmingham the best possible film in our Sunday movie opening at the park, I paid the price and got the film. And today Nazi- nova IS showing at Edgewood in
 Besides this picture, Hillco amuse- ments are offering Buster Keeton in two-reel comedy this afternoon and Pathe news pictures. The manage nent has also books, Al Weinber ss orchestra for continual concerts throughout the screen offerings today and tonight.
 The moving picture programme at Edgewood is scheduled to get under way at 2:S0 o'clock this afternoon, with continuous shows into the evening hours. The management has made ar engagements for free busses to meet all cars, and with bigger cars added to the Edgewood line, the.

saw them packing the fruit for the mar
 ket I was in Florida 40 years ago, but
 the method of handling the fruit is quite
 different now. It is brought from the grove in large boxes, then it goes through washer, where it is kept constantly turning under the spray; from there 1t goes to polishing machine, where brushes scrub every part of the surface. Then it passes over belt where white horse" pickers, we would call them, take out the defective or injured fruit The
 perfect fruit then goes through warm | air machiDe, and is dried off, thence through the sorter, where the sizes are | separated, to the wrappers and packers,
 where it is wrapped and placed in the boxes in the regular order in which we receive it. It is an interesting sight to watch the men mailing on the tops ana straps. A man mailing on laths does not
 work half so fast. Each packing asso-
 citation has it's own brand or mark. The packing house we visited was the Stripes so if you should SC any fruit
 under that brand you may know the pro-
 cess by which it was handled for your consumption. One can feel that perhaps it is clean if he knows just how care fully it is handled.
 Fort Meyer has one of the famous ho-
 tels of Florida, the Royal Palms, besides innumerable others. It has two papers,
 several fine banks in handsome homes,
 beautiful courthouse, two handsome school buildings and several churches, be-
 sides many large mercantile establish
 ments. The homes here and their yards
 and lawns are for the most part beautiful
 and well kept. There are so many
 strange flowers and plants, some of the
 richest and most variegated follages
 ever saw They have all the colors Of
 our autumn woods and all blended in
 the same plant frequently. Many new
 flowers and vines have attracted our at
 tention, while all the trees of the tropics are here Many varieties of the palm, including the royal, the date, the cabbage and the cocoanut, are here. The royal is one of the most stately, graceful and handsome trees I have ever seen. US body looks like it had been sandpapered every morning, while it's beautifully turned body bears it's immense. bright green leaves many feet in the air. This would be a delightful place for winter home We know there are no mosquitoes, for all the real estate men in town will tell you so. Something bit me last night, but the mosquito is not the only thing that bites at night. However. this thing both flew and sang. I never knew the other night biters'' to do that. asked a very fleshy man how he stood the summers He answered: Oh. we perspire some."

and his company doing a very novel turn, provoking much merriment.
 Counte Perrone and Miss Oliver have been given high praise, considerable color being lent to their act by the fact that 1t is authoritatively stated that Perrone is a genuine Italian nobleman. His presence in vaudeville in America is said to be due to the fact that after the war he suddenly faced the problem of earning a living, and, possessing a fine baritone voice, he decided to try the stage.
 In "Three Falcons" one sees a male trio of ring gymnasts that accomplish remarkable feats. Two go in for straight acrobatics and the other for comedy,
 On the screen the attraction will be "Mr NWu" pronounced one of the most interesting film stories that has ap- peared in the Keith house in several weeks. Pathe news will complete the cinema programme

Cabinets on Auto

By an ingenious use of waste space, a western motor;st }ss~ fitted his car to carry unobstrusively a load of vacation paraphernalia that would make an ordi- nary auto looi, like prairie schooner, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine in an Illustrated article. He stores the larger camp equipment under the car body on metal pan. accessible through an oblong door cut just above the run ing board Shallow slides for tools and small articles are arranged under beth running boards. and made secure by strap and padlocks. A tall, narrow case ar the drivers left holds two rifles, shotgun. fishing rod, and all the nec-t essary accessories and ammunition. There is commodous compartment at the top O. each rear fender. one containing camp stools and clothing the other toilet anc medicinal articles. Side by side on the right running board are two more cabinets folding stove and culinary utensils are carried in one. whi;e the other is a pantry for canned goods and food supplies All the cabinets are arr ranged to avoid interfering with enter ing or leaving the car.

For Good of the
 Community

Certain acts that are to be registered on tune clock? Specified amounts of courtesy that each is to give the other? A catechism, a category of rule printed formula of faultless guidance?
 1t is none of these. There are good neighbors who never enter one another's houses, no not go to the same church, do not reside on the same street The good neighbor may be rank stranger met in desert. The poor neighbor may be one who knows the catechism of profes- sional neighborliness and departs not from the fixed rules, but who is not prepared for the con- dition arising out of the unknown The good neighbor is never nonplussed by situations Neighborliness automatically adjusts itself to the needs and niceties of the moment.
 poor man and rich man can be the best of neighbors. They can be that without visiting one another's homes, although in sight of one an other, even facing one another on the same street. They can be good neighbors without sit ting at the same table, without going in the same social strata. If they are good neighbors they will not seek to invade, to make of neighbofhood a stepping stone to intimacy.
 Neighborlness is what the Samaritan was to the man who fell among thieves The priest and the Levite were not obligated toh help the wound ed man. He was not of their kind. He did not reside on their street. They did not know him. They owed him no money. No rule of the temple called on them to stop and succor But they were not good neghbors
 Neighborliness does not consist of acts in spired by an emotion of the moment Reliance on the emotions to prompt the feeling of neigh borliness is unsafe. Neighborliness of the true sort issues from fixed and practiced quality of the mind and heart that prompts to the neigh borly thing without consciousness of the urge.
 An old negro man brought bunch of ragged robins to the bier of a white woman who had been kind to him in her life. The negro was un- embarrassed in the presentation of his gift It was the best he could do He was being neigh borly as he knew how Nof1oraloffering laid by that Woman's dead body was more acceptable to those that knew and loved her.
 A good neighbor is young man who does not throw his entire weight against the rungs of the swinging doors in the large buildings but meas ures the step Of others passing in and out of the : same door. good neighbor is the man who does not talk during picture so as to annoy others. good nelghbor IS woman who does not wait on those behind her to ask her to remove her hat that they may be able to see the film.
 A good neighbor is he who does not localize neighbors or neighborhoods He carries neigh borliness about with him. It is part of his be- ing and where he goes it radiates it's kindly glow on others.
 Ona railroad train one sees faces that bespeak neighborliness. They are passed on the street. They are seen at theatres and in offices One feels the better for catching glimpse of them. We do not have to know them Their influence exerts itself without words, without contact other than the light of their souls which issues from their eyes and makes their conferences

LIBERAL RESPONSE
TO APPEAL FOR HELP
MAURY FOUNTAINS OPEN PURSES
TO SUFFERING FAMILY DESCRlB-
ED BY c. o. SARGENT.

(From Saturdays Daily Herald)
Maury county never turns deaf ear
to the Cry of distress.
Never was this fact more clearly
demonstrated than ON Friday when
Columbians and Maury coutians bus
led themselves, to relieve the suffer
ings of family of nine, described in a
letter to The Herald by G. ID. Sergeant,
Primm, Tenn.
AS the result of the publication of
Mr.. Sargeant's letter in The Herald,
not less than $3.50 in money and an
abundance of clothing and food will be
given the family, whose pitiable eondi-
ton was so tuchingly described by Mr..
Sergeant
The committee of the Junior Order
Of United American Mechanics, com.
posed of T. l.. Cunningham, j. l.. SuNi-
van and C. NJ Edwards secured yes
terday in money $142.7O which has
been deposited in the Columbia Bank
G. Trust Company, and will be checked
out by this committee as bills for food
and other necessaries for this family
are received properly o. KID. Others
who may wish to contribute may see
any member of the committee.
Mrs. T. J. Hardison, of the Carriers
Creek section, will within the next day
or two forward clothing collected in
that community. Mesdames W. j.
Dale, ST.. Lem Thomas and Walter
Green, of Columbia, are also collect
ing articles of clothing to be forward
ed the unfortunate family. In addi-
ton to these donations listed, r. E.
Nichols has already forwarded nearly
$50 in money to Mr.. Sergeant to be
used in relief work, and the Kiwan.s
Club has subscribed a neat sum also.
1t is readily apparent that the family
will be well provided for when the
contributions arrive.

STATE BOND ISSUE.

Former Senator G. Y. Clarke very
properly protests against the bill in
troduCed in the legislature to author
ize a bond issue of fifty millions of
dollars for road construction. This
same bill was defeated two years ago
and Senator Clarke contributed large
ly to that happy result. The Herald
was the leader in the fight on it at
that time and it has not had any occa
sion to reverse its position. On the
contrary this paper is more than ever
convinced that it would be height of
folly to incur so stupendous a debt at
this time for road construction.
The nation, like all the other partic-
pants in the recent war. is staggering
under load of debt. The annual In
terest charge on the public debt of
the United States is today more than
the aggregate expenditures of the ma.
ton twenty years ago. 1t takes bill
lion dollars per annum to pay inter
est and besides sinking fund must be
provided. Expenditures of the govern
ment, despite enormously increased
taxes. are exceeding the revenues.
Everything in sight is already taxed.

ARRANr pEMoeocuERY.

II is always favorite past time
with the politicians to try to deceive
and delude the farmers with the idea
that they are the especial objects of
the love and DISTINGUISHED service Of
the country saviors." The politi.
clans never tire of telling the farmers
of their deep seated affection for
them. Whenever any measure or is
sue arises that in the slightest degree
may relate to the agricultural inter
ests these sturdy champions of the
tillers of the soil may be depended
upon to sally forth full armed for
desperate encounter with all the en-
emies of the farmers. Not that the
farmers are easily deceived. for they
are not, usually they are good judges
of human nature and can easily de
tect the false from the true; they
know a hawk from a handsaw" as
well as did Hamlet, but the politicians
have not yet discovered this and are

BACK TAX INVESTIGATION.

If the statement made by the mem.
bers of the legislative committee in
vestigating the administration OF the
back tax laws are true it is better to
be a reveiue agent than president of
the United States so far as compensa-
ton is concerned. The revenue agent
of Middle Tennessee is charged with
having received in compensation a
sum many times than paid to the gov
ernor and equal to the combined sal
aries OF the five justices Of the SUI
preme court. 1t is, however. probably
no larger than the compensation of
certain county officials of the state.
But unquestionably it is altogether
too much and any law that allows
such unreasonable compensation
should be amanded or repealed.
This is not time for extravagant
salaries or fees to officials. Public
officials should be generously compen.
stated, but not paid more than similar
services would be paid by private cor.
porations. The public is getting some
interesting facts as a result of the
investigation of the back tax machine,
but there is no prospect for any rem
edy from these conditions. The comp
troller is responsible for the admin
islration of the back tax laws. His
course has been approved, his admin
istration endorsed and he was unan
imously elected for term OF two
years. 1t looks farcical to do all OF
this investigating after the very men
who are doing it have placed their
seal of approval on the official being
investigated. The Herald said at the
outset that under all the circum.
stances it doubted the wisdom Of the
large expenditure that is being in
Cured.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF.

In a speech opposing the Fordney
emergency tariff measure Senator
John Sharp Williams. Of Mississippi,
one OF the brilliant minds of the SEN
ate, made some observations that
caused even the grave and reverend
senator's" sit up and take notice. Ordi-
narily about . half dozen senators lis

number, but the dispatches record the
presence OF about seventy senatorial
listeners 10 Senator Williams and a
reading OF his remarks in the Congress
sional Record is sufficient explana-
tion for the unusual tribute paid this
distinguished Southerner
Senator williams in the brief time
tlat he occupied the floor utterly put
to rout the protective tariff advocates
and he did so in the most effective and
scholarly manner too. They withered
under his sarcasm. He declared that
lot SOfeTHnncHtdl pui POoCo ga that hC
was and all that he had belonged to
} the government of his country, but
that for the enrichment of any class
OF individual the government had no
right to take cent from him. And
Senator Williams is entirely right.
The protective tariff is violative of
this sound principle of government.
which is supposed to be based on
equal and exact justice to all men.
Following in the wake of the pro-
tective tariff seekers, every interest
now that through bad guesses, or be-
cause of the war Of for any other un-
toward and unexpected incident, is
threatened with loss of money, Is
rushing to the government for help
and aid. There was time when bus
mess was nphampered and when men
who made bad deals or unfortunate
Investments took their losses and
bravely went to work to repair them.
but that is all changed now and in
cases of this kind they rush to Wash
ington for aid.
