COPIAH-LINCOLN A.
H. S. SAVES $4,000
Third Large Building Costs $780,
100000 and Will Be For
Girl Students.

HaZlehurst, Miss, March L. The
new building just accepted by the
board of trustees of the Copiah-Lin-
coin Agricultural High School, near
Wesson, which is owned by the two
counties jointly, is the third large
building to be built. 1t cost $780,
000, the trustees saving fully $780,
900 by employing day labor and Eu-
gene Mccormick, of Brookhaven, as
supervising architect, on salary ba-
sis. The contract system was not
used. The building is three-story
brick and stone structure, where
Professor T. ]. Cathey, the superin-
tendent, and 100 girl boarding pu-
pills live. The dining hall is on the
lower floor, with capacity of 200
students. The building has all mod
eTn equipment, water, electric lights,
steam heat and Ventilators.
This agricultural school is said to
be the largest in the state, and its
three completely equipped buildings
are pronounced by leading educators
as most up-to-date.
Architect Mccormick was rendered
a special vote of thanks by the trus-
tees for his work on this last building
just accepted by the school board OF
trustees. The building committee oil

TOM KYZAR IN HURRY
TO GO TO THE PEN
Voluntarily Came in And Went
to Jackson Without an
Escort.

Tom Kyzar is the first man from
Lincoln county who ever voluntarily
walked right into the sheriff's office
and gave himself up to go to the pen
itentiary and then, to cap it all, took
the train with note to the peniten-
tiary authorities and presented him
self for service to the State in Jack
son, doing all this of his own free
him or accompanying him at any
stage of the game.
A few days ago the Supreme Court
affirmed an appeal from Kyzar pro-
testing against years sentence in
the pen for manufacturing intoxica-
ting liquor imposed at the last Sep
tember term of the Lincoln county
circuit court. KyZar, as soon as he
got the news, came right on in to
Sheriff Applewhite, stating that he
was ready to go. Sheriff Applewhite
was at the time and is yet without
authority in the case as far as papers
go, Kyzar being out on bond pending
the superior courts decision But,
ever obliging, and knowing it would
only be a matter of time when he
would receive the papers to serve, he
informed KyZar that he would give
him note to the penitentiary trus-
tees and that he could take it on up
to Jackson and present it in person
if he so desired. This was acceptable
to Kyzar, who was anxious to COM
mence service on the sentence impos-
cd, so Thursday he boarded the train,
went to Jackson and is now being in
troduced to his new duties as a SER
want of the State.

NATIONS EX-OFFICERS
MOVE THEIR LIQUOR
Special Permits are Allowed
Is Law Farce in Instances
or Not?

Washington, March "a permit
was issued the other day for Wood
row Wilson, who desired to remove
some liquors from the White House
to his new Washington home in ..
street. 1t was explained at the
White House that the Presidents
stock was made up largely of gifts
which have been made to him, with
small quantity which had been
purchased by the chief executive for
medical purposes.
Permits have been issued to Sec
retary of War Baker and Postmaster
Burleson to transport their supply
of liquors to their Ohio and Texas
homes, and similar permits will be
Issued to all the other Cabinet mem
bers who seek them, ii Is said.
Likewise, no prohibition will be
made on the removal or transporta-
tion of liquor supplies Of other
decamping Washingtonians II they
go through the formular Of applying
to the Federal Prohibition Directory
for the required permit.-Daily
Special.
And now comes Ex-President Will
son and members of his cabinet with
quantities of liquor that are being
allowed to be removed to their hon.
es-some in distant states-from
Washington.
And this procedure in these dry"
and prohibition United States.
And, generally speaking, at least,
who would have thought such men
as these who have been at the head
of this country's affairs would have
been willing to have had any liquor
at all under the circumstances? Some
of these men have stood as exemplars
of morality in churches and colleges.
And who would have thought, last
of all, that any one Of them would
have had the nerve to apply for per-
mits to move liquor ?-even if they
had any.
Shame on such prohibition law
that allows such practices as we be-
that allows such practices as sug-
gested in the statement from the
Washington dispatch printed.
These men re'~now only private
citizens, irrespective of what posit-
ions they may have held and we be-
lieve that what is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander."
Down in this section it Is believed
| that it is even unlawful to have Ii
quor in ones possession. Men are
ever and Sanon fined 500 and costs
for this believed to be infraction of
the Federal statutes, even when they
only had pint or a quart. But
up in Washington-and maybe who
the parties are have something to
do with it, it is different.
But it wasn't different in Chicago
a few months ago when a man who
had stored quantity Of liquor in
his cellar and wanted to sell the res
idence and remove the liquor for his
own use. He was refused a permit
to move 1t and he could not sell the
| liquor of course.
We believe in the doctrine of "e-
quail rights to all and special privi-
leges to none" be he high or low,
rich or poor. Was this kind Of poll
icy carried out in the disposition of
this liquor business as given in the
Washington dispatch? Or is this
/ liquor law just bluff to run some
end let others almost do as they
/ please?

After all the money in the crowd
had been drawn to his pockets in the
manner of steel hunting a magnet,
six other negroes began to look on

eyes. The atmosphere finally got so

THE LATEST EXCUSE.

; A good many years ago, there was
"a trial in the court of Magistrate j
Y. Sitton, at Due West, the defend:
ant being a well known negro about
the Holy City. He was charged with
killing a fine bull belonging to Rev.
J. N. Young, the charge running
that he intended to make beef out
of the bull, but that after he HAD
killed the bull, the defendant found
that he could not carry it away on
account of it's weight. Fearing to
call in help he left the bull where it
had heen killed.
On the trial the defendant ad-
Snitted that he killed the bull, but
denied vehemently that he intended
to steal it, or to carry it away for
the purpose of making beef. His ex-
cuse for killing it was that, "The
damned bull tried to bite me-"
The excuse for killing the bull as
given by this negro was not more lu-
dicrous than the excuse the rail-
road brotherhoods now give for
striking. Their excuse now is that
the railroads forced the strike on
them, and they couldn't help it. In
fact they do not think it is much of
a strike anyway.
They mex: say that they were fore
ed to strike to save their constitu-
tional rights. What constitutional
rights are the men being deprived of
and since when did organized labor
consider the constitution anyway?
What are constitutional rights, and
are these rights the peculiar property
of the Big Four, or has the little pub
tic an interest under this head?
We would either strike and be
game, or Just take cold feet and re-
mig. There is no use to put the blame
somewhere else.
y The public surrendered at the point
of the big pistol once but we have a
new commander. Now the public will
fight.

have pursued him. But as he passed
out the door he heard tse cry, like
Paul Of old, "stone him, stone him."
And there was no hesitancy as to
who was sufficiently without blame to
cast the first stone-they all contrib
uted.
Our hero passed several moving
things that obstructed his path, the
same taking on the appearance of
living miniature Fords, so rapidly
did he leave them behind. As the
chase grew warm the wingfoot took
refuge under Mr.. Woodhurst's house
and when the latter came out with a
shotgun, our hero cried in despair:
For Gawd's sake, Mr.. Woodhurst
don't shoot. Dey's roekin me ter
DEATH"
In. police court those who were
caught, Ben Lewis, Happy: Wright,
Sugar. Watt, Jim .Devore and Elijah
Finley, were fined $50 or 80 days on
charge of gambling. John Hammond
and Hector DeVore escaped the net
and have not yet appeared before

Happy Wright was lucky when his
