COMMISSIONERS HARMON PRO.
TECTS PATIENTS.

Be sure and read the article pub
lished elsewhere relative to the mob
attack in the Methodist Hospital at
Hattiesburg and the defense of the
patients made by the courageous
commissioner, Rev. G.. S. Harmon.
Mr.. Harmon was given charge Of
the Hospital by the Methodist Con.
ference that met in Brookhaven last
December and how wise was their
choice Is demonstrated in the protec-
tion,' at the risk of his own life, Mr..
Harmon gave the patients in his
care. Before going to Hattiesburg
Mr.. Harmon was a preacher and edi-
tor.
1t is such spirit that enthrones
above passion and vengeance. the
law too often desecrated by the law
less mob that seeks the life of an Of
fender, their act making them a.
menable to the statutes likewise.
Mr.. Harmon's brave act will turn
the eyes of that part of the thinking
public that appreciates loyalty to
duty and high courage toward the
next case wherein the Harmon spiri!
may be lacking and the mob rules to
the shame of the State and to the
hurt of citizens who participate In
the brutalizing game where ths
might Of the crowd prevails over the
right Of the victim. whether guilty
or innocent, as the case may be, no
matter how heinous and revolving
the crime with which he is charged.
Repression is difficult in case so
repellant as the Hattiesburg attack
by Jones where both mother and her
unborn child were the helpless vic
tins; but Mr.. Harmon did the cour-
ageous self-immolating thing for
his State and his church that will
help as nothing else can to exalt the
majesty Of the law and arouse Ian
gushing reverence for those quail
ties of chivalrous. manhood that are
none too prominent at this time and
that are too often entirely lacking
on occasion.

NEW TARIFF COST
TO BE $500 EACH
Purpose to Boost Farmers Pro-
ducts-What Articles Are
Included in Bill.

Washington, May %. = The farm
ers' emergency tariff bill which be-
came effective today, will mean an
additional burden on the American
people of approximately $500,O00,-
600 year, according to conserva-
tive semi-ofncial estimates made
here.
Joseph s. Mccoy, treasury depart
ment actuary, has estimated the
additional revenue that will accrue
tC the government from the measure
will be $165, 100000 year. Econo-
mic experts, regardless of party aff-
liations usually admit that any tax
or tariff is usually multiplied three
fold before it reaches the ultimate
payer, the consumer.
AS a result, eliminating other cir
cumstances that may effect the mar
kets, the bill should increase the cost
of living to every man, woman and
child In the country about SIS year.
Under the old tariff law. despite
big importations the government re-
ceived less than $5,00O,O0O from du-
ties on articles included in the emer-
gency tariff.
The main purpose of the bill is ad-
mittedly to boost the price of farm
products and its sponsors would like
to see an increase at least three times
as much as the tax imposed. They
claim that it is imperative to pay the
farmer higher price for his pro-
ducts.
II the treasury estimates come to
expectations, the tariff will fall hea-
West on three necessities-wool,
wheat and flour, and sugar.
!. McCoy's hgures she wthat the
wool tariffs should yield about $780,
100000 more than the present sche-
dulles. Multiplying this amount by
three, it means the consumer must
pay $2.75 additional if he buys only
one suit a year.
The sugar duties of 1.16 cents
pound will yield the government an
additional $40,000,OOO. Already in
the nations capital the price of su-
gar has jumped l II cent pound in
chain stores. Last Saturday it was
sold at six cents to the consumer. To-
day the price was ~ cents.
Another $20,000,000 is expected
from the duty of 35 cents a bushel
on wheat, although the rate is so
high that it NAV cause a big de-
crease in importations. The balance
is divided between about 25 other
items.
Other articles affected by the tar
if are:-
Flax seed, corn or maize, beans,
peanuts, potatoes, onions, rice lem
ons, vegetable oils, cattle and sheen.
fresh and frozen beef, cotton and Us
manufactures, butter, cheese, milk,
apples, cherries, wrapper tobacco and
olives.

RAILROAD PROPERTY
BURNS AT McCOMB
Freight Shed, Refrigerator and

This Morning.

At about fve o'clock this morn
ing Mrs. S. F. Magee received a
message from her daughter, Mrs.
Chas. Cook, at McComb, informing
her that the railroad shops were
burning down.
Later The Leader was informed
that the big freight shed with its
equipment, Al cars and the refrig-
orator, with tools, etc., was consum-
ed, the whole loss being estimated at
$l50.000.
Very few men will lose their jobs.
In fact more men than before the
1re will be employed as it has been
planned for some time to enlarge the
sheds. 1t will be rebuilt at once on
a larger scale.

livered from the ugliest peril of all
history. 1t is our privilege not only
to indulge in high and solemn pride
and grief for the heroes of that
great struggle but also to rededicate
ourselves to the achievement of the
great objects for which that war was
fought. We shall not be. happy; we
shall not be able to enjoy the full
pride of the days recollections until
we have made sure that the duties
that grew out of the war have been
fulfilled to the utmost.
Are we sure? If we are not, shall
we not soon take steps to do what
ever has been omitted?"

PREACHER DEFIES
MOB AT HOSPITAL
Wounded Man Under Charges
of Attempted Murder Was
Sought.

Hattiesburg. Miss, May 27.-The
Rev. G. s. Harmon, Methodist
preacher of this city, stood pistol in
hand at the head of a fight of stairs
at the top of which was lying on a
cot Casey e. Jones, under charges
at attempted murder of Mrs. ]. s.
Mosely. yesterday and defied mob of
masked men to take the prisoner,
who was wounded by ]. S. Mosely,
husband of the victim, from the
Methodist Hospital, where he was
held under guard.
DR.. Harmon, commissioner of the
hospital. who has been in Collins for
several days, returned to this city
last night. He was told of the ira
gedy yesterday morning, and upon
learning that feeling was aroused
against Jones, decided to move the
man who was guarded by two deputy
sheriffs, to another room, under
standing that 1t was known where
Jones was being held.
DR.. Harmon had the light of the
building turned on, every door was
secured and the preacher seated him
self in the dark at window which
gave him a good view of the street.
Two or three automobiles were driv-
en- past the hospital last last night,
arousing the parsons suspicion, and
he called up the police, asking for
more guards.
Before he had time to do anything
however, number of masked white
men slipped into the yard, and one of
them bandaged in red around the
hands and head, as though he was
injured, stepped upon the gallery
and rang the bell.
DR.. Harmon refused to allow him
to enter, and then the others of the
party made their entrance through
q window in the sitting room, and
made bee line for the room where
Jones was supposed to be. Failing
TO find their quarry, they headed for
the stairs, but found themselves
confronted by the preacher, who,
pistol in hand, defed them to come
UP the stairs.
Doctor, we aren't going to make
any racket" said the bandaged man,
I'VE just want our man."
II am Methodist preacher" re-
piled the doctor, "in charge of this
hospital, and / am responsible for
all in 1t. We have sick women and
sick men in here, and they are al
ready torn up over this disturbance,
and you dare not come up those steps
unless you cross my dead body. Now
shoot If you dare, you may kill me,
but you shall not come up those
steps,"
Menwhile three of the men slipped
up back stairway to the upper
landing, but ran into some nurses
who screamed. Deputy Sheriff Bur-
kett whirled and faced them SO un-
exReetedly that he made them back
trough the back door down the steps
Hearing the screams, the men at
the front made a break to go up a.
gain, but DR.. Harmon levelled his
pistol and threatened to shoot, fore
ing them to retreat. Then the men
scattered, and some few minutes Ia
ter Sheriff Edmonson arrived with
additional deputies, and the tension
was relieved. DR.. Harmon says there
was big crowd outside, though on
ly about a dozen men broke into the
hospital. Some of the nurses we're
frightened dreadfully, and many Of
the patients are in serious nervous
condition as result of the excite
ment.

PROVED THAT COURTESY PAYS
New York Business Man Dates Be-
ginning Of Success From Little Act
That Seemed Insignificant.

In System Leopold Wertheimer de-
scribes the methods that helped his
business grow from tiny shop to
chain Of five big department stores in
New York city. Speaking Of his start
in business, he says:
zone of the merchandising plans
that learned the first day In my little
store Is that the unusual courtesles
which merchant gives his customers
are often the most appreciated. AS a
corollary to that, the man or woman
who actually spends the money Is not
always the most profitable person to-
ward whom merchant can direct his
good-wlll-building efforts.
"One Of my first customers was q
nursemaid who hesltated In front Of
the door; just what to do with the
baby carriage seemed puzzle. I
stepped over, held open the door and
said: MADAM, baby carriages are
very welcome In my store. Wheel II

came to be listed as perhaps my best

Those Unnecessary Warnings.

Excellent young women have
chopped ice and frozen sherbet be-
hind closed doors because they do
not want to be told again TO be sure
not to get the ice all over the back
piazza. Certain warnings go with Ger.
tain projects as inevitably as rubbers
with the rain. The practical mother
has so often found the warnings neces-
sary, that the mere sight of the act
produces the formula by rote.
Model sons and daughters should ac-
cept these hints with gratitude, thus
avoiding all friction, however minor.
But rather than be advised to do that
which they were planning to do al
ready, the most loyal Of daughters will
resort to clandestlne measures and 40
stealthily with the ice pick as with a
poniard beneath a cloak.
This annoys an affectlonate and
capable mother very much. And she
has a right to be annoyed, has she
