In Menoriam

Whereas, the Allwise God of crea-
tion has demonstrated the truth of
his word, which says: If l 60 to
prepare to place for you. will come
again to receive YOU"
This truth on Tuesday. Nov. 1st
1921. came to our beloved brother
and friend, William F. Gilliland.
Though coming for His own in
peaceful love and fatherly kindness.
He has saddened our hearts and
caused bitter tears to dim the eyes
of the loved ones.
But what man is so powerful or
what soul so thoughtless as to not
say: His blessed will be done, ="
and our hearts yearned out to him
for this consolation.
Brother William F. Gilliland was
born June IA. 1869, and departed
this life Nov. 1st. 1921, aged 50
years. 4 months and II days.
Brother William F. Gilliland had
throughout life enjoyed very good
health, and up to within a few days
of his death, when he was stricken
with malaria hematuria from which
be gradually weakened until death
was his relief.
All the aid from medical sources
was of no avail, and on the evening
of November 1st, 1921, at s O'Clock,
his spirit took to flight to far bet
ter and brighter world than this,
and the following day his remains
were inferred in the Wren cemetery
at Wren.
This ended the life of a good and
truthful man, ever loyal to his
country and home.
Be it resolved by Central Grove
church, that we. by the death of
Brother Gilliland have suffered a
great loss as a church in which ne
was a member.
He tried to line up to his obliga-
tions. and that his community in
which he lived has likewise suffered
loss. showing the gentleness of

A Republican Opinion

The Kansas City Star is strong
for the Republican administration
but finds itself unable to praise the
Republican taxation legislation.
Tne Stars opinion is that the coa-
trolling influence was the desire to
say that congress had voted for put
ting the highest taxes on the rich,
through fear that their political op-
pOnents would accuse them of favor
ing men with big incomes. A reve-
nue. bill that will bring relief to the
business of the nation can never be
made as long as influence of that
sort guides congressional action.
This is verdict that ought to COM
mand some attention when the
merit of the extra session of con-
gress comes under review of the
voters of the country.-Mobile Reg

The Magnolia State
Life InS. Company
LEADING BUSINESS MEN TAX
IN0 INTEREST
Hon. M. H. Daily Joins Ranks
State Prohibition Director Takes
Considerable Stock, and Ad-
ded TO the Directorate

Yazoo Daily Sentinel, Noy. IS. 1921
News comes from Jackson that
the new Magnolia State Life In.
surance Company is getting their
affairs in shape to begin to write
business early in the new year.
Much of the preliminary work up
to this time since license was is
sued to them some time ago by the
State Insurance Commissioner has
been to select leading business men
in the various sections of the State
to compose the directory of the
company.
The latest addition to the direc-
tory is the Hon. M. II. Daily, Pro-
hibition Director for Mississippi,
who has just subscribed for a con-
siderable amount of the stock. and
has been added to the directorate
of the company.
AS the chief prohibition officer of
the state, Mr.. DAILY has demon
strated the wisdom of his appoint
ment. He is devoting a great deal
of time and thought to arOusing
public sentiment in the direction of
the observance of the laws of the
state. and is receiving splendid CO.
operation in EVERY direction.
Mr.. Daily is at this particular
time an interesting figure in the life
of the state by reason of the fact
that he is the Federal patronage ref
cree for the state. Some of his re-
concentrations for postmasterships
have already been printed In the
papers in the last few days, and
others are expected to be announced
soon. Mr. Daily, in an interview,
stated that these appointments, so
far as his influence goes, will be
made upon the basis of merit and
satisfaction to the various commu-
mites served.
Mr.. Daily is enthusiastic in pre-
dieting a wonderful future for the
Magnolia State Life Insurance Com
pany. and says that life insurance
in Migsissippi is merely in its in
fancy. and that the splendid impe-
tus given to all kinds of insurance
in Mississippi in the recent past
will help the Magnolia to get its
full share of the business now being
placed and which is to be placed in
the future.
1t is understood that the Execu-
tive Committee of the new life in
surance company, at a recent meet
ing, have employed an experienced
actuary and rate man to take charge
of these details This gentleman il
said to have ten years experience
with some of the leading insurance
companies of the south, is a man of
the highest personal. professional
and business standing. and his en-
ployment with the company will
become effective as soon as they
get all their preliminary plans ready
to begin issuing policies.

1922 Is GENERAL
ELECTION" YEAR
Books Must Be Opened for Reg
iStratiOn, Says Robertson.

Jackson. Mics, Nov. 24.-Attor-
ney General Frank Robertson has
rendered an opinion in which he
holds that the year 1922 is general
election year and that it made the
duty of the county registrars to
take the registration books to the
various polling places and remain
one day at each place to register
persons qualified to register in such
Many of the clerks undertook to do
this during the current year and
Gen. Robertson advised against it.
In the present opinion. however. he
says that while he does not think
that persons who registered this
year in cases where the hooks were
improparly removed, would thereby
be legally disqualified, he advises
that such persons remove all doubt
by re-registering. After quoting
Section 6756 of Hemingway Code,
which forbids removal of the books
from the office of the registrar ex-
cept in general election years, the
opinion says:
The primary question to be de-
termined in this case is what is the
year of a general election, and a
determination of this question set
ties all the incidental matters re-
lating thereto. The section ex-
pressly prohibits the registrar from
removing the registration books
from his office, except in the year
of every general election; and in
this year it is the duty of the regis
trar to visit, and spend one whole
day. at each voting precinct in his
county, for fhe purpose of register
ing voters. after having given prop
er notice, by publication of this
visit.
Il do not believe that the penal
ty for violation of Section 1856 by
the registrar. in removing the regis
ton books from his Office in d year
other than a general election year,
is to make the registration of cleo
tors 40 registering illegal. The
penalty for such violations. in my
Judgment. is intended by law to be
visited upon the registrar. and not
to penalize the elector by prohibiting
him from voting because of having
registered at a time when the regis
tration books were not in the office.
as provided by this statute.
"Of course. this question has
never been passed upon by our su-
preme court, and the prudent thing
for any elector who has so register
ed. would be to remove such doubt
by re-registering in the proper man.
ner. This is particularly the pru-
dent thing to do, since in Mississip-
pi our general elections are more
or less perfunctory, and the pri-
mary elections are the ones in which !
the citizens of Mississippi are most
vitality interested. Primary elec- |
tions, of course. are governed and
controlled by political parties. oper-
ating through executive commit
tees.'
The opinion then sets out provi-
sions of the constitution and laws
governing general elections, and
concludes:l
The manifest purpose and nec-
essary effect of this section, in my |
Judgment. is to make the elections

County Agent Notes

In talking to many farmers il
different parts of the county | find
that many of them intend to in.
crease their cotton acreage and 9th
ers who planted no cotton this
year intend to plant some another
year This is just what the farmers
over the entire cotton belt are
probably planning to do at the
same time hoping that his neighbor
will decrease his average.
Most farmers should plant some
cotton, as it is almost impossible to
find any crop to take its place on
the average farm. But it will be
dangerous and maybe disastrous to
increase the cotton acreage in 1922.
An increased acreage will result in
a low price whether a large crop is
produced or not
Before we increase our cottou
crop, or even plant as much as we
did this year. we should remember
hack from 1914 to 1920 how the
boil weevil made it almost impos-
sible to grow a profitable crop of
cotton. The year 1921 has been
an exception and a fairly good crop
of cotton was produced. But we
do not have such a year as this
once in ten years, and we had bet
ter not take chances on having an
other dry year for awhile at least.
We should decrease our acreage
to be planted in cotton. but by get
ting better planting seed, use of
fertilizers and close spacing of the
rows and the plants in the row, in
crease the yield per acre. A good
part of the land in the county needs
fertilizing. and mistake is made
when this is not done.
On the average land to produce
the maximum yield of cotton, the
rows should be about three feet
apart and the cotton left a hoes
width apart in the row. Close
spacing is the most important fac
tor in making a large yield of cot
ton. and on most farms very little
attention is given it.
DIVERSIFICATION.
/ believe there has been too much
talk and too much written on di-
yersification of farm crops. So
many people seem to think that if
the farmer will diversity his crop.
that is, plant corn, peas. sorghum
for syrup. potatoes, peanuts and
various other crops be is on the
straight road to prosperity.
All of these crops are good. but
the farmer needs to look ahead and
see what the prospects are for a
market for any of these crops before
growing much more than for home
use.
Take sweet potatoes for exemple.
There is no use of growing a big
crop of them unless he has stor-
age curing house to put them in or
las arranged to sell them to a can
merry or some other place.
The farmer who goes into cotton
raising when cotton is high. goes
into hog raising when hogs are
good price, and into sorghum syrup
business when it is bringing a good
price or any other business when it
is high will usually find that he is
one or two years too late in starting.

CAPITOL
Sweet sweetie Girls.

The Capitol stage this week is
graced by Billy Walls Sweet
Sweetie Girls" an aggregation Of
fast principals and undoubtedly the
liveliest score of damsels that we've
seen at the Pennsylvania avenue
theater since the seasons opening.
Mr.. Vail, himself, is here this week
viewing the result of his labors and
II the show hits the same pace
throughout the season as it did
yesterday, burlesque patrons around
the various parts of this country
will have but little to cry for.
Vail has undoubtedly abolished
the idea of a "one-star show" for
instead of the usual first and second
comedians he has obtained Bobby
Wilson and George Leon, each bid
ding the same for first honors in
the comedy line. These boys are a
pair of fast comedians, whose work
borders on the eccentric line. Ed
Jordan, in blackface, was response
BILE for a good number of the laughs.
Jordan works part of the perform
ance as blackface dope" his
work bordering along the lines of
Lew Kelly. Howard Harrison does
all that Is to be expected OF a
leading man, keeping the comedians
well supplied with lines to provide
the numerous comedy situations.
Georgia ,Bogart, Emma Wilson
and Lii Harrison are the feminine
principals. each contributing to the
merrfment of the performance with
two or more songs and dances.
Aside from that they are instru-
mental in the several comedy
scenes. The chorus is exceptionally
lively. the girls are elegantly
gowned and the scenery is above
the usual displayed by American
wheel attractions. With a bit of
touching up in a few places Mr..
Vail will have show that few IL
any, critics will Nbe able to find

RIALTO.

Bebe Daniels, in "The Speed Girl"
A double feature program, pre-
senting Sascha Jacobsen, one OF the
country's greatest violin virtuosos.
in delightful concert and Bebe
Daniels starring in The Speed
Girl" opened a weeks showing at
Moore's Eialto yesterday the entire
bill beink greeted with enthusiasm
seldom evinced by a motion picture
audience.
This is Sascha Jacobsen's first
appearance before a Washington
audience ALTHOUGH he is not a
stranger to thousands possessing
monograph records of his mastery
playing. That he is a violinist of
unusual accomplishments and num-
beredi among Americas greatest
artists. all who heard him yester-
day will now agree. He deserves
every consideration to which a
splendid artist is entitled. His
playing of De Sarasate's "Zigeun-
erweisen," the first number on his
program, was an achievement such
as few other artists have dupli-
Gated, in technical skill and beauty
OF tone. His second number was
Drdla's Souvenir" while "Valse
Bluette" was his third.
One always expects breezy fast
moving comedy drama with a de-
llghtful Interpretation of the stel-
lar role whenever Bebe Daniels is
announced in new production and
in The Speed Girl" one gets all
this and more. The vivacious little
star is so admirably fitted by this
role that one has a feeling that
she is the heroine and that the
audience is merely seeing a cross
section of her own life.
Miss Daniels is supported by a
cast which fully meet the require
ments of the action as we'll as be-
ing we'll above the average stand
ard. Theodore Won Eltz is leading
man and looks very swank in his
navy uniform. Rotund Walter
HERS, as the press agent, supplies
his inimitable kind of comedy.
Frank Elliott is seen as an ardent
sutton while Norris johnson plays
Hilda, the girl who contributes an
important boost to the surprising
solution. Truly Shattuck, William
COPYRIGHT and Barbara Maier
also have important roles.
The entire production strikes
one as being up to the highest
standard of screen comedy-drama
possible.

Charles Ray i'm .scrap Iron"

Scrap Iron," the latest and most
unusual of the Charles Ray com
edy-dramas for First National, is
the attraction for the first three
days OF the current week at Gran
dalrs Theaer.
In this exciting subject. the star
assumes a role thati s unlike any
in which he has ever heretofore ap-
peared. Cast as a millhand who has
developed remarkable prowess with
the boxing gloves. Ray is called
upon to match his wits and his
mitts with n lightweight champion.
Having promised his semi-invalId
mother that he will devote his effort
to brain rather than Drawn devel-
opment. he finds IL difficult to avoid
the charge of cowardice with which
he is tainted by his fellow workers
whenever he refuses to fight.
Finally. however, after the job is
lost and the savings are exhausted,
)he secretly arranges to enter the
ring with the champ with the sole
Idea of winning the losers end OF
the purse. What happens in the
fourth round Of one of the most
thrilling boxing bouts ever record
ed by the camera places an entirely
different complexion upon the whole
matter.
Ray in this picture Is supported
by a cast of schooled players who
do much to lend the drama an au-
thenticity that Is rare on the screen
The staging of the fight scenes is
one of the finest examples of adroit
direction that the season has pro-
duced.
The bill for the early-week is
completed by abbreviated Aim fea-
lures and pipe organ accompani-
ment
