LEAGUE PUTS HOPES FOR DISARMAMENT IN
 WASHINGTON FARLEY
Rx Associated Press

Geneva, October 1.-Di Disappoint- ment at the absence of results attain cd by the League of Nations sincs the last assembly and hope in the forthcoming Washington conference were the two principal sentiments expressed in today's debate by the assembly on disarmament
 Many seats were empty on the floor of the assembly,, the question having been threshed out in com mittee.
 The assembly, however, was aroused to considerable enthusiasm. particularly by the eloquent defense of M. Noblemaire against accusation of militariams brought against his country. Lord Robert Cecil, who presented the committees report on disarmament. said he hoped the Washington conference would do something for the control of private manufacture and traffic in arms.
 Capt Melbourne Bruce of Australia, who followed Lord Robert said It was matter of as much interest to Europe as to Australia if his country were obliged to go on arming follow : ing the example of the Asiatic coun- tries in order to protect its l2,000 miles of seacoast.

TAX BILL DRAGS;;
 SENATOR PENROSE
 DOWN IN MOUEH''

Washington, October 1.--(Special) It goes badly with the pending tax bill, and Senator Penrose, who is endeavoring to put it quickly through the Senate is obviously down in the mouth"
 It is indicated that the bill. if not tossed into the junk pile, will be so radically changed that it's author would not recognize it even after close investigation
 The democrats oppose it. The re- publicans are apparently splitting into factions. In the meantime, Sen ator Shoot is ardently advocating his sales tax" scheme as substitute.
 .Bloc, to Fight Bill
 The agrarian bloc is preparing to organize a fight against the Penrose bill. The members will strongly op- pose repeal of the excess profit tax and reduction of higher surtaxes.. They will demand total repeal of the transportation tax instead of reduc ing it 50 per cent as the bill pro- vides. Senator McNary has already introduced an amendment repeating the transportation leves. The amend ment will probably prevail. simi- lar amendment was narrowly defeat ed Tn committee, when the bill was prepared, it is learned
 The democrats in the Senate would go further than the agrarian bloc. They want to reduce the normal in- come tax. They have already pro- posed a graduated plan under which the lowest figure would be per cent on incomes not exceeding s5,000. The rates would be per cent on incomes between s5,00O and $10.000 and per cent on incomes from s10,00O to sl5.000.
 Surtaxes considerably above the 32 per cent maximum fixed by the finance committee are urged by dem, ocrats They will offer a series of surtaxes running as high as 45 or 50 per cent
 Greatly Discouraged
 Senator Penrose because of the opposition and the strength of the opposition, is very much discouraged. He is already preparing new sources of revenue to take the phase of those to be knocked out by democrats. One of these sources would be letter postage, which he would increase from to cents. This would bring in $S0,00O, ,000, he estimates. He said also that stamp tax on checks was being seriously considered.
 There is no hope for the Shoot sales tax plan. Democrats op- pose it because they hold that it is a tax on consumption. Many repub- licans, however, some of them mem bers of the finance committee, favor it openly.

New York, October 1.--( -(Special.)-- Our market eased off under the in- fluence of long liquidation before the bureau report. as many believe that present prices discount anything but very low report We expect that ginning figures will be very large, but as they will be followed by the report an hour later. they will prob ably not have much influence on the market. The selling was very nat ural under the circumstances, as many did not wish to- carry over a large commitment over the bureau. It Is very difficult to forecast prices, but Md5 day we can take new ob- servation, based on the report.- Hubbard Bros. & Go.

 New Orleans, October 1.-(Special.) ) The low condition estimate put out on cotton by the Times -Picayune tended to restrict short selling and helped to keep the market steady until just before the close, when wave of liquidation swept over 1t and lowered values materially.
 Forecasts of very heavy ginnings, possibly anywhere from 5000 900 to 3,500,o00, from the census bureau in advance of the government estimate, has been heavy weight on the mar ket for several days. and caused much liquidation. It is generally conceded that large ginnings at this time do not actually discredit crop around 6,000,000 bales. because of the rapidity with which 1t has been picked and ginned, but it does af- feet sentiment. As the ginnings fig ures. come out an hour ahead of the estimate, it Is feared that they may furnish the shorts with an op- portunity for a raid.
 Everything points to low esti- mate from the bureau, but present indications are that it is going to take a very low figure, probably 40 or under, and an estimated yield of close to 6.000.000 bales to create anything like the buying wave that followed the last months report.
 Twenty-cent cotton does not dis count 6.0o0.0O0 bale crop, and high CT prices are certain to be seen long before the next crop is planted re- gardless of what may happen on bureau day. The shorts have been stimulated into renewed activity by expectation of heavy ginnings, and are more disposed to contest further advances than for some time.
 Fundamentals are bullish and the chances favor the longs.-Fenner & Beane.

County Fair Permanent
Institution Here Now

The Lincoln County Fair has be-
come a permanent institution. No
longer is it an event. 1t is neces-
sary because of the expansion and
progress OF agriculture, of live stock
and of our growing factories and
industries generally.
Brookhaven must MAINTAIN her su-
premacy in trade and commerce.
Brookhaven must serve territory for
sixty-odd niles around.
Brookhaven is a beautiful setting
for an annual get-together of the
people from surrounding country
who, once here, want to come again.
Fair Week can be made the big
trade and social week for this en-
tire section. We can stage such at
fractions as will bring the people
here and then with our modern e.
Quipment for entertainment and with
our ever growing capacity for SER
vice together with our cordial well
come, we can so impress our spirit
of friendliness and enterprise that
they will all want to come back and
to establish trade relations here.
Its your Fair, so be there"

KILLS SELF ON DAY
SET FOR WEDDING
Rash Act Believed to Have
Been Caused By Lack
of Money.
WAS TO MARRY A
UNION CHURCH GIRL
Throat Cut With Razor After
Partly Shaving-Was Only
"a Years Old.

HaZlehurSt, Miss, Oct. 3.-De-
spondency because OF financial en-
barrassment on the eve OF his we'd
ding is believed to have caused tenn
porary insanity leading S. P. Allen,
Mendeville, Ohio, former army avia-
tion corps lieutenant, to kill himself
early Sunday. His body was found
on the flo0r VI his room in ! Mrs.
Dykes Granherry's home. two main
arteries in the neck having been sew
cred with a razor after Allen had
shaved the right side of his face.
Allen, who was "a years old, was
one of the promoters OF the test we'll
at Mehan JnuctiOn, Miss, near Me-
ridian, and came here to join the B.
W. White oil lease sales department.
He was engaged to be married to a
young lady of U IN Church, west
OF hazlehurst, anu was to have left
fer Union Church early Sunday
morning to bring his betrothed to
Hazlehurst where the wedding was
to take place. He had engaged a
minister to perform the ceremony,
Rev. c. c. Evans, of the Methodist
church here, but his funds ran out.
There were only four cents in his
pockets when ne died, and he had no
money in any bank here.
Aliens efforts to obtain by tele-
graph some money from friends in
Meridian had failed. 1t appears that
worry over the reverses on every
hand and the approach of the hour
when his fiancee would be awaiting
him caused him to become mentally
deranged, and the authorities reach
ed verdict of suicide readily.
The young woman he was to have
wed was prostrated by news of the
tragedy. Aliens relatives in Ohio
were advised and they ordered the
BODY shipped to them from Halle
hurst today.

TRUCK TURNS TURTLE
KILLS OL|ON GUESS
Missed Gear Change on Hill
No Brakes = Backs
Down Off Bridge.
ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE
NEAR BOGUE CHITTO
Was Driving County Good Roads
Truck-GuesS Was Well
Known Here.

Olion Guess, second son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John w. Guess of Fair River,
was suddenly and without warning
cut off from the walks and ways
of life on Friday afternoon at about
400 O'Clock, Sept. 80, 1921.
Young Guess, who was 25 years
of age last Sunday, Sept. rs, had
BEEN engaged in driving one of the
big county trucks on the good roads
hauling gravel, for some time On
Friday afternoon near Bogue Chitto,
in going up an incline, necessitating
a change of gear, Guess missed his
gear change, and the truck being
without adequate brakes to hold on
the grade, started backwards until
it reached the bridge in that vicin-
ity, struck it and went over the side
A negro occupied the truck with the
young man and was told repeatedly
by him to jump which the boy did
and saved his own life while Olion
stuck to his post and was instantly
killed, as the truck turned over, his
Leck being broken.
The victim of this deplorable acci-
dent was one of five sons in the John
w. Guess family. Arthur, the eldest,
then Olion, Alcus, John, and L. T.
Five sisters also mourn the regret
table death-they are Mrs. Ethel
Jones, Mrs. Leslie Foster, Misses Eu-
la Mai, Velma and LOWE.
The sorrow of the deeply bereaved
parents and of the sisters and bro
theirs and other relatives, who were
so tenderly attached to the departed
loved one, is ineXpressible. He was
so devoted to his family circle, so
quiet yet strong and brave and so ex-
emplary in his life that he was
stay, comfort and joy at all times.
He had lately lived in Brookhaven
with his sisters, Misses Eula Mai

Beef From Velvet
Beans-Do Well Here

The United States Department of
Agriculture mas conducted a steer
fattening experiment in Mississippi
which shows that velvet beans are
we'll adapted for use in making beef
Feeding mixtures of silage, dry vel
vet beans and cotton seed were COM
pared with combinations of silage
and soaked velvet beans. The mix
ture OF silage and soaked velvet
beans resulted in the most economi-
cal and profitable production of
beef, while the mixture of silage, dry
velvet beans and cotton seed meal
proved more satisfactory than the
combination of silage and dry velvet
beans.
Our unprejudiced stock raisers and
farmers are following the scientific
Dllls OF fare provided by experienced
and intelligent men who share this
knowledge for the uplift of our coun-
try.
Lincoln county soil grows Vel
vet beans luxuriantly as well as
sny other sort of forage. It's
the garden spot for stock.

This Fair Number---Our Advantages and Hopes.

The management of the Semi-Weeky
Leader takes great pride and pleasure in pre-
senting this Lincoln County Fair number to
it's regular Leader readers as well as to many
others who will read this special number In
it all will get birds eye view at least Of
Brookhaven's spirit of enterprise and its on
ward tread toward making this vicinity per-
manent place of prosperity and progress in all
that means an ideal citizenship and the be-
queathing of a worthy heritage to younger
generations who are taking note of what is
worth while.
But we started to say that in this edition
we are not striving after the bigness of a me-
tropolitan publication like the New York
World, but mean to concentrate and condenSe
to the end that our readers may well say "The
half has never been told, and having caught
the scent will investigate and pursue the trail
until they are thoroughly CONVINCED that the
old town wex live IN merits the eltclt it y
do to it the Nonor we are STRIVING l1ps b6stse
in this editio3 And not only tse t0sFt sES
Lincoln County, of which Brookhaven is the
hub, and this vicinity in general, for our little
city in its progress and prosperity represents
all the people of all the county. So many of
our rural neighborS have come within our cor
poration lines to make their homes and we like
their hearty hand-shake and their cooperation
as their children grow up in our schools and
churches and their thrift and energy add to our
commercial life.
The best medium of expression for the spir-
it of enterprise is the newspaper. Every ar
ticle in this issue may be construed as an ad-
vertisement. Every specific advertiser repre-
sented in these columns has special message
that he wants the people of Lincoln county to
have. Every advertisement is news item and
every account of an institution or business en-
terprise is an intimate life-story and will be
read as part of the history of our town and
county. Don't throw the paper away when you
shall have read it-pass it on to your neighbor.
The Leaders faith is pinned to Lincoln coun-
ty. Our people are working out problems that
will restore to normal conditions and will ad-
vance them beyond what they have already ac-
complished.
The business men are giving service not
known in the past. Personality is a recognized
factor in business in Brookhaven. Old men
who have nursed their grouches and grudges
are passing younger generations will have
none of it. 1t doesn't pay.
Brookhaven business men want you to
come and tell them what you saw in The Lead
er's Fair Edition and they will make good and
you will make friends of the men who want
to serve you and learn how to serve you best.
BRoOKHAVEN THE BEST TOWN.
Brookhaven is undoubtedly the best town
in this section of the state. 1t has the best
schools, the handsomest churches, the best wa
ter, the best lights, and the most of them, the
best homes, the best social life, the best bus-
ness houses, the best hotels of any city or town
in this vicinity. Brookhaven offers the public
more inducements s-more advantages = for
