William Donnell was a companion
of Franks when on Aug. IL, 1920,
both men were legged" just as they
were in the act of boarding a train

leave that town where Franks,
thought to be a member Of the I. w.
W., was alleged to have been TO-
menting trouble between the labor
ers employed by the ]. J. Newman
Lumber Co., and that corporation at
its sawmill located at Sumrall. Much
interest was manifested in.this trial,
as in the case of Franks, because
largely of the personnel of the coun-
sci engaged and because of general
anxiety to see what sentiment would
develop from the legal hearing of
case where labor issues and the acti-
vities of the 1. w. W. were probably
involved, but particularly because it
was the first time the trying of a
case of alleged assault with "an-
cieht" eggs had been heard in a La
mar county court.

TIPPAH co. LEADS
IN FIGHTING T. B.
Funerals of T. B. Patients Alone
Costs More Than a Mil
lion Annually.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 6.-The Ma
tional tuberculosis Association has
ten definite ways of fighting the
White Plague" and Tippah county
leads the eighty two counties of this
state in the number of ways that will
be employed during the year 1922;
provided, of course, that the funds
are forthcoming from the annual
Christmas Seal Sale now in progress.
Mrs. Thomas Spight, chairman of
that county association has reported
to Mrs. Robert S. Pfifer, jr., of this
city, secretary of the State Associa-
tion, that her county will put on
every form of anti-tuberculosis ac-
tivity planned by the National Asso-
citation with the exception of that
which calls for the part payment of
the salary of public nurse; and this
exception will be necessitated be-
cause nurses cannot be had for the
work at present.
DR.. Henry Boswell, superintendent
of the Mississippi tuberculosis Sani-
tarium at Magee, is quoted in the
current news letter of the National
Association as saying that funerals
of tuberculosis patients in this state
cost from $278,000 to 1892, 900 year
ly. The disease having been proven
preventable and durable, such a loss
of life and expenditure of money a.
mounts to economic waste to almost
criminal degree.
DR.. s. Adolphus Knopf, of New
York, man of nationwide reputa-
tion, has issued stirring plea in
behalf of the Christmas Seal Sale
in his state that is applicable to the
whole Union. After pointing out
the fact that tuberculosis, as a rule,
does not originate in adult life but is
contracted in childhood and develops
under conditions of privation and
want, underfeeding, insufficient
clothing, and overcrowding, and af-
ter referring to the favorable reports
on the work of the tuberculosis as
sociation in the past, he says in re-
gard to the present campaign
81 appeal to the hearts Of men and
women who have enough food, e.
nough clothing and a comfortable
home, to think of the little children,
the men and the women who may
be saved from contracting tubercu-
losis, and of. those who may be cured
by proper and timely treatment and
care. Let those who cannot help by
personal service do their share by
giving freely and generously to this
campaign"

Would You Return to
Bad Schools and Roads

Would you be satisfied to return
to the old time when we had the ov-
erseer road system and the one-teach-
er school? We had no roads under
that system and had to make a
change and while we have not re-
ceived value for all money spent,
yet our roads are 1000 per cent bet
ter. The consolidated schools, with
good buildings well equipped and
with more teaching force, have TAX
en- the place of the one teacher school
with poor buildings and teacher
trying to teach eight grades. We
had good teachers in those days, but
they did not have chance. Now
none Of us want to return to those
days. Let us when we begin to
think Of high taxes analyze the tax
alton and see for what purpose each
mill is paid and see If much of 1t is
not going into permanent improve
ments.-Bay Springs News.

Moles Brothers Convicted.


AT Harrisonburg. La, last Thurs
day, Geo. C. Moles and his brother,
Ollie Moles, were tried on the charge
of numbering a man on houseboat
near that place. The trial resulted
in a conviction for Geo. Moles on the
charge Of murder and he was senten-
ced to 100 years in the penitentiary.
Ollie Moles was convicted Of man
slaughter and given sentence Of
twenty years.
The crime was committed some
time In September or October. The
two Moles brothers were travelling
with the owner Of the boat and they
claimed he robbed them, then forced
them to remain on the boat. They
admitted the killing but claimed self
defense.
Both the Moles are well known in
Pike county where they lived for a
number Of years. Geo. Moles was
pardoned after serving a part Of his

DR.. Cooper urged the young peo-
pie to plan their lives and work to-
ward some goal.
Miss Gladys Noble of Brookhaven
gave a vocal solo.
A solo was given by Bennett Bass,
member of the New Sight quartet.
State Superintendent of Education
w. F, Bond was introduced by Mr..
Ellzey.
Mr.. Bond praised the splendid mu-
sical program and the speeches of
the day.
He stated that Mississippi was next
the bottom of the list in states in
her education in the last education
al survey. The state has made great
er progress however in the past three
years than any other. There are 40
agricultural high schools with 5000
in attendance, and 1917 boys and
girls were graduated from them last
session. There are more than 100
teachers homes.
Mr.. Bond commended the compul-
sorry school law which last session
brought into the public schools 3d.
600 children over7 years of age who
had never been in school before.
The country school must have as
long term as the town school.
Mr.. Bond entertainingly compared
the school where he first taught and
the customs of those days with the
present.
He urged the duty of educating
the children of today in order that
they may be able to hold their own
with the people of other states and
nations.
Luke Lea, a fourth grade pupil
gave an appropriate recitation and
the program closed with patriotic
chorus by the pupils of the school.
1t would hardly be possibly to
praise too highly the excellent pro-
gram rendered, and all concerned in
it have every reason to feel gratified
at the success achieved and the ap-
probation SO freely expressed.
The conduct and attention of the
pupils in the auditorium were ex-
cellent, and in their choruses they
sang with spirit and correctness.
There is an admirable spirit of CO.
operation and much pride and inter
est in the new school upon the part
of patrons and others of the COM
munity the school serves.

teemed educator of southeast Missis-
sippi is superintendent, and his as
sistants are Mr.. 7. ]. Mayfield, Mines.

The New Sight School operates
under the Smith-Hughes law which
makes special requirements in re-
gard to agriculture and domestic
science. 1t has modern two story
brick building with basement, a
handsome bungalow teachers home,
forty acres of land, an electric light
ing system, steam heat and modern
sanitation, patent desks, teachers
desks, piano, two sewing machines,
oak tables and other domestic science
equipment. Six auto trucks are in
use for transportation, and it is pro-
bable that a seventh will be requir-
ed.

Women in Civil Service
Receive Less Wages
Than Men

Washington.-Fa Fairness to women
in the United States civil service will
be one of the questions considered at
the fifth annual convention of Ma
tional Federation of Federal En-
ployes, to be held at New Orleans,
September IL to 16 The convention
will be asked to call upon congress
and the administrative officers of the
government to abolish the double
wage standard now existing, which
is said to keep women out of the high
er paid positions. The average salary
of women is 5000 less than that paid
to men. During the war when women
were appointed in greater numbers
than before at higher salaries only 5
per cent of those appointed to the civil
service were paid more than $1,000,
while as per cent of the male appoint
ees received more than that. Many
bureaus have a virtual dead-line for
women's salaries. Very few of them
are appointed to executive positions
or receive more than $1,000 a pear,
though they do highly technical work

COMPERS TALKS
To Canadians on LabOr's
Aim

Toronto, Ontario-On his recent
Canadian trip President Gompers
was asked by a representative of a
local newspaper: What is the ulti-
mate goal of labor?"
The newspaper printed this reply
given eXtemporaneously to the report
er, by the A. F. of L. executive.
"The ultimate aim of labor is a
better day, nothing else. People who
look to sudden upheaval, catas-
trophe, a change overnight, are all
wrong. The betterment of the world
will come very slowly, and when it
comes it will last. Other changes
cannot stand for long because that
sort of thing is merely action and re-
action.
What do you mean by better
day?" queried the reporter. "Do you
mean higher wages and shorter hours
for labor ?"
Mr.. Gompers removed his cigar.
THAT is much of it," he said, delib-
erately, "but what | mean is better
day for everyone. | don't know how
else to describe it. Higher wages
mean that the workers become part
of the general public. When a man
is ground down under a low wage he
does not belong to the public-the
world ignores him." and concluding
with a striking sentence. "There is
more in the 25 cent raise in the work
er's envelope than thy philosophy
dreams, o sweet Horatio!"
Mr.. Gompers said that the better
day did not mean communism. II pre-
fer to let the people of that day label
their own condition" he said. Names
are misleading"
Asked as to the effect of the war
on labor in general, the great leader
replied 'The war inspired US all. 1t
gave US new energy. 1t showed US
liberty--not license, please note-but
liberty and freedom. 1t gave US a
vision we shall not forget"
These are the views of the man
who 40 years ago organized the work
ers of the continent into central
federation, the man who today leads
an army of over 100000 followers

day"

issue prior to January 20, 1920, ex-
empted from the 10-mill levy. Council
decided to put this question to the
people at special meeting held Mon
day night, after Mayor Smith present
ed the city's financial status TO them
and told them that something must
be done at once if the city is to func
tion next year.
If the people vote favoring the ex-
emption it will mean that the tax
rate will be increased $2.85 per thou
sand, but on the Nother hand unless
this is done the city will have but
$4,000 for operating expenses during
1922, and any one with an ounce of
sense knows that this amount will not
come anywhere near running the po-
lice, fire and public service depart
ments of the city.
So there is nothing else to do but
for ali of as to dig down into our
jeans and meet the bills, via the tax
route. And the city officials, nor is
any one else, to blame for this condi-
tion of affairs. 1t is just simply a
case of meeting the additional cost of
materials and labor Other cities are
in much worse circumstances than
Hamilton; many of them having in
creased their tax rates long ago.
Hamilton's situation was thrashed
out at meeting of representative
citizens held last Thursday night in
the council chamber, and called by
Mayor Smith. At this meeting were
business and professional men, bank
ers, manufacturers, laborites, and city
officials, and after hearing Mayor
Smith and City Solicitor Harry
Koehler's explanation of the city's
financial condition, it was the con-
census of opinion of all present that
exemption of the outstanding bonded
indebtedness from the lo-mill levy
was the best thing to do to relieve the
situation at this time.

VALUED HIGHLY
Striking Bakers Held in Bail
of $S40,O00

Chicago go.-Forty y-two members of
Bakery and Confectionery Workers
local union No. 2, of this city, have
been held in $4,000 bail on charges
of conspiracy in carrying on strike
against a reduction of wages. The
original bail fixed by the district at
torney and grand jury made a total
of more than $7,000,000.
The judge of the court in which
the case was docketed, evidently real
izing the exorbitant sum demanded
as bail to be in violation of the con-
stitution of the United States, reduced
the original amount. But the reduc-
tion in bail will have little influence
in getting the arrested men their lib
erty. The main purpose served will
be that the smaller amount looks bet
ter IN print and gives it the appear
ance of Justice tempered with mercy"
The bail must be provided in real
property without encumbrance."
Commenting on the strike out of
which the charges of conspiracy have
been made, the Bakers Journal says
"that when the full history of the
crimes committed during the bakers
strike will be written it will be found
that the responsibility will have to
be laid at the doors of the Chicago
bakers employers association. The
Bakers Union disclaims all response
bility," Confessions" made by en-
ployers' spies in the union are the bas-
is of the conspiracy charges. These
spies, expelled from the union, are
said to be living at first-class hotels
at the expense of the taxpayers of
Cook county.
