zULUS SHOOT
NEGRO FIREMAN
Gus Emery Shot and Seriously
Wounded at Velma Hill
Negro Brakeman Glazed on
Elbow by Wild Bullet

Tuesday morning as the south
bound local freight train was pulling
up the grade a mile north of Velma,
some party or parties fred into the
engine cab and seriously injured Gus
Emery the negro fireman on the en-
gine. Engineer W. S. Bosnia es-
capped without injury, and the negro
brakeman who was riding in the cab
had his elbow glazed by one of the
flying bullets.
The train which was in charge of
Conductor Harry Ragsdale was run
into Velma and put on the side track,
then Conductor Ragsdale cut the en-
gine loose and returned to Water
Valley with the wounded fireman.
Upon arrival here the wounded negro
was taken to DR.. s. C. Cooper's Office
and given first aid relief and then sent
on the first train to the New Orleans
hospital for attention.
The fireman's injuries are serious
and may result fatally. The parties
doing the shooting evidently used a
shot gun loaded with buckshot. One
Of the shot entered the mans head
just below the left eye, and two other
bullets pierced his neck, while his
nose was also badly shot up. The
wound below his eye is the most
dangerous one and besides causing
the loss of his eye may ultimately re-
suit in his death.
After bringing the wounded fire.
man here, another colored fireman
was secured and the engine and crew
afrfx. cd fV.at nd nlv nj
then continued on the regular run
south.
1t is not known how many shots
were fired nor how many or who did
the shooting. A shot gun loaded
with buckshot was used and from
appearance of things the shot or
shots were fired at a considerable
distance judging from the way the
bullets had scattered when they hit
the cab. Besides the bullets that
hit the fireman, and the one that
burned the negro brakeman's elbow,
five other places were discovered
where bullets had hit the side of the
cab.
The railroad company Immediately
sent number of special agents to the
scene of the shooting and since the
agents have been very active working
on the case.
1t is presumed that the organiza-
ton known as the "Zulus" did the
shooting and was not the work of
local men. The injured fireman has
been in the service of the l. C. for
15 or 20 years and was we'll liked by
all the local trainmen, and had never
been in trouble Of any kind.

WATER VALLEY
FLOODED AGAIN
Heavy Rain Sunday Evening
Flooded Nearly All Stores
And Greatly Damaged Busi-
ness Houses, Streets, Etc.

Water Valley is facing a serious
drainage proposition and every day
the problem is becoming more COM
plex.
The drainage canal east of the rail-
road does not releave the situation
and of late nearly every heavy rain
causes the main business section Of
the city to become inundated. Water
overfiows and backs up from Town
Creek until the water runs waist
deep down Main street. Store houses
the entire length of the street are
flooded and the business enterprises
are damaged many thousands of dol
lars on account of the floods. Town
Creek has almost filled with sand to
level with its banks, and the water
has very little outlet by this route.
AS consequence the water backs up,
spreads out over the streets and fills
the store houses, etc.
Sunday night water was all over
the streets, in practically all store
rooms and great damage was done.
Merchants block their doors and low
windows, but in most cases are un-
able to keep the floods from their
store rooms.
1t is serious problem that must
be solved, and soon, as every food is
leaving the city in worse shape. If
the present condition is not remedied
soon the business section will be
ruined. This drainage problem is
of vital interest to every citizen of
the town, and all should lend their
nGEo ouk - al La
is no further use in putting the mat
ter off-further delay means the ad-
ditional loss of thousands of dollars
in willful waste besides endangering
the health Of every citizen.
LET'S DO SOMETHING-NOWl
There is no way to get around the
question-We MUST fix it, or MOVE.
1t is up to the citizens and if you
want to save the town get busy and
do something.

BIENNIAL REPORT OF
STATE LABORATORY
Department Has Done Great
Work in Preventing Epi-
denies in This State

/ DR.. C. r. Stingiley, manager of the
State Hygenic Laboratory, is finish.
ing a biennial report of the work
donein the state laboratory for the
two years ending July 15, 1921. The
report covers several thousand speci-
mems that have come under the ex-
perienced eyes of the force here and
shows in a statistical form the vast
amount of work done in improving
the health of the people in Mississippi.
During the past two years the work
of this department has increased al
most two fold and the efficiency of
the work has advanced by rapid
strides. The original research work
done here has aided materially in
keeping down epidemics of contagious
diseases and in finding means of con-
trolling malaria in the state.
The work done in connection with
administering the Pasteur treatment
in the state deserves special men,
ton. DR.. Stingley with his corps of
workers has successfully treated
hundreds of patients bitten by mad
dogs and really educated the people
up to the protection from this dis
ease. At first the treatment was
given at the laboratory directly but
the work increased so that it could
not be handled efficiently from the
central Office and in the early part
of the spring arrangements were
made by which the treatment could
be given at the home of the patient
by the attending physician. The Sc
rum for the treatment heretofore
been ordered from Nv York but DR..
Stingley has just installed a plant
whereby the serum will now be made
here in the laboratory.
Another interesting part of the re-
port is that one hundred and thirty
thousand doses of typhoid prophy-
Tactic vaccine has been made and
sent out since January 1, 1921. This
is as many as were used during the
entire past year. DIR. Stingley says
that the tremendous increase is due
largely to the education of the peo-
pie along health lines.
