Murderer Concealed Self In Cafe.
On account of the fact that all doors

circumstantial evidence connecting the
Hill brothers to the crime, witnesses say
that they were the last persons seen in

broke" and needed money. After
taking several chances on punchboard
in the bar. they disappeared.

As USUAL, MONROE GO.
CITIZEN HAS MADE GOOD
Capt. B. w. Rye, Trusted Em-
pIOyee of Southern Railroad

1t will be gratifying to the friends
and acquaintances of Capt. B. w.
Rye to learn that he is in charge of
the terminals yards and shipping
docks of the Southern r. r. at
New Orleans. He also heads de-
tective work on all tines running
out of that city. Capt. Rye had
been employed by the Burns De-
tectiye Agency before taking this
position with the Southern Railroad
Company. Rapid promotion in
this work. doubtless. is due to the
thorough training he received and
experience he acquired during his
three years service as an officer in
the United States army.
Capt. Rye. we learn. is only tenn
porarily away, and like all Monroe
county boys who achieve success in
other fields, still considers this his
home, and holds to the innate and
patriotic conviction that nowhere
in this wide world is there a county
like old Monroe" or state alto
gether equal to "Old Mississippi" "

AT EUPORA, MISS.
The Youngest Health Officer in
the World

The main foundation of public
health work in the education oi
children ia attempted to be taken
care of at Eupora. Miss. by organ
izing Health Brigade in the pub
lie school of that village.
A young lady teacher of the sew
enth grade of the school originated
the idea as an important depart
ment in school work. Whereupon
an election was held after the meth
cd in vogue in political elections.
and the pupils elected one of their
number to discharge the functions
of a health officer in the school.
A lad, Robert Townes Leigh. twelve
years old, was elected and was COM
missioued by the superintendent of
the school and recognized by the
county health officer.
The work of this young student
proved highly beneficial. and in
troduced into the school an inten-
sive interest in observance of the
laws of health among the pupils.
Some of the duties of this student
health officer are keeping daily
records and reporting on the per-
sonal appearance of pupils. records
of daily weight, of colds. absentees.
regulating heat and ventilation, etc.
The Health Brigade in the school
is a decided step forward in a very
important feature that enters into
child education. and we hope soonto
see it become a popular depart
ment in the public schools of the
state.

IMPERIAL WIZARD ". J.
SIMMONS IS HONORED
Leader of the Ku Kiux Kan in
the State of Georgia

Every lover of law and order that
safeguards the sanctity of the home,
the virtue of pure women and the
purity of Anglo Saxon blood, re-
members the trying times during
the days of reconstruction, when
the danger of sectional hate and
greed threatened to destroy the So
cial and economic equipoise of the
Southland. Then it was that un-
der the matchless leadership of n
B. Forest. that splendid Confeder-
ate general. the hosts of undaunted
Southern chiyalry, were marshaled
under the mystic banner of the Ku
Klux Klan and rescued their be-
loved Southland from the evils that
were about to engulf it. All know
the great services of the mystic or
der of the Ku Klux Klan during
these trying times, and remember
them with deep appreciation and
gratitude.
After a lapse of years, during
which the principles of this order
have not been active. they have re-
Gently been revived in an almost
nationwide organization under the
leadership of Col. w. J. Simmons
at Atlanta. Ga. The present MEM
bership of Knights of the Klan in
cludes thousands among the best
citizens of the country and widely
distributed throughout the various
states. The order is a chartered in
stitution. incorporated and recog-
nized by the laws of those states
where it has come to be In active
operation, Thousands attend its
annual convocations where mys-
ticism in weird paraphanalia be-
wilders those not initiated into its
hidden mysteries.
It's last anniversary was held In
the city of Atlanta, and Klansmen
from almost every state and terri
tory, aggrepating into the thou
sands, took part in the mystic GER
emonies.
As mark of the high esteem in
which its Imperial Wizard, Col.
w. ]. Simmons is held. the MEM
bership presented him handsome
residence. on Peachtree avenue. At
lanta. as birthday gift on May 6.
The Ku Klux Klan. as it exists
today, has encountered opposition
in various sections of the country.
upon what grounds the opposition
is waged we are unable to say. but
that the order is growing in public
favor is evidenced by the thousands
who are affiliated with it in almost
every section Of the country.

ness on the part of the promoters
and the big things ultimately to be
accomplished by the bureau.
Director Willis. of the A. & M.
College. explained difficulties that
beset farmers in producing and
marketing when each attempts to
produce and market alone without
cooperation under the intelligent
direction of farm bnreau, citing
instances in proof that had come
under his observation Mr. Willis
said that state and Federal help
was available for farm bureaus
when organized in harmony with
requirements fixed by law. In or
der to get this aid, he said, the
county must first make an appro-
priation and employ a county farm
demonstrator, This puts the mat
ter squarely up to the Board of
Supervisors to decide whether or
not the Monroe County Farm Bu-
reau is to get this Federal and state
aid.
Mr.. E. B. Heller acted as chair
man and called upon G. NJ. Holmes,
President of the Aberdeen Chamber
of Commerce, who addressed the
meeting. Mr.. Holmes said that
the farmers of the county, who rep
resented more than so per cent of
the population and 80 per cent of
wealth production had put them
selves on record by organization of
a farm bureau as desiring adequate
at the hands of the
board of supervisors so that in
telligent direction of farming inter
ests might go forward for the COM
mon good of all.
1t was decided that the Farm
Bureau attend the Board of Super
visors. in body. on Tuesday after
the first Monday in June, at 2 p.
M, and urge the Importance of the
appropriation, and petition the
board to employ a county agent at
once. These farmers pay the bulk
of the taxes. and upon their shoul-
ders rests the support of every bus
mess and calling in the county.
1t would seem then that they are
within their rights and entirely
conservative when they ask the
Board OF Supervisors to do a thing
upon which. they think depends,
not only the welfare of themselves.
but the prosperity of the entire citi-
of the county.

ISSUED TODAY.

There are more than 400 900 men
and women participating in gov
ernmental work who are in CLASH
fed service. All of these are un-
der the permanent provisions of
the civil service law and rules.
These permanent rules provide
for the certification of the highest
three eligibles from the list of three
each necessary appointment is
made. The successful operation of
the principles of civil service law
has demonstrated the wisdom of
this provision. This leaves in the
appointing power, who has the ulti-
mate responsibility efficient admin
istration. the necessary. constitu-
tional right of choice. This right
of selection is the kind of response
bility which can not legally be and
is not abridged by act of Congress
and is in exact harmony with the
spirit of the civil service principle.
There are 81, ,332 postmaster. OIL
these, 80, ,433 are in the fourth class
and are now under such civil SER
vice laws and regulations as bring
them within the priv ileges and con-
ditions of the classified service.
OF the remaining 1888 post of
fees, 700 are first class, 2,617 are
second class and 1852 are third
class. Obviously these offices are
business agencies of the Govern
ment in legal purpose and should |
become so in fact. The only GER
tain ultimate way to bring this |
about is to classify first. second,
and third class postmasters. This |
will require an act of Congress. It'll
is a step forward, measured by the |
requirements of progress, and is
one which / hope will he made.
Under existing laws the Executive |
has no power to require that |
these Offices be placed in the CLASH
fed service.
Moving in that direction, how
ever, the Executive order issued to-
day provides that if any such va
cancy is not filled by nomination
for promotion of one from within
the competitive classified civil SER
vice, then an open competitive ex-
animation shall be held and the
shall be made from
one of the highest three eligibles, as
required now by law in the classi-
fed civil service,
This order, which is for our own
guidance in making these appoint
ments. will bring an operation
with the requirements of
any probable future legislation.
Under this order the kind of test
and plan of investigation and ex-
animation which shall be provided
