FARM BUREAU WILL
HOLD ANNUAL MEET
Election of Officers and Direct
Ors-Much Good Has Been
Done.

The first annual meeting of the
held at the Court House Monday,
Dec. S, 1921. Election of officers
and board of directors is one of the
objects of the meeting. Much has
been accomplished in the five months
we have been organized in the way
of cooperative selling of cotton seed
and string beans and buying of feed
stuffs. The trucking industry is be-
ing rapidly developed with 1000
acres of the various truck crops in
view for next season.
The business men of Brookhaven
are heartily cooperating with this
movement. Arrangements are being
made with the fertilizer companies
for the cotton and truck growers to
get their fertilizer at greatly reduc-
ed rates. Mr.. Meade Mathis will de-
vote one half of his time to helping
the truckers and showing them how
to prepare their ground and making
hot beds and cold frames. Our mer-
chants are helping to make it pos
sible for Mr.. Mathis to do this work.
The object of the Farm Bureau is to
build our county along agricultural
lines and develop new industry that
will be of benef1t to all.
We earnestly urge all members
and all others interested in the well
fare of Lincoln county to be present.
N. F. Jacks, President.

Notice Of Election.

Pursuant to an order adopted by
the Board of Supervisors of Lincoln
County, at regular meeting for the
month of November, 1921, the un-
dersigned election commissioners of
said county hereby give Official no
tice that a special election will be
held simultaneously, and conformity
with Pike County at the school
house in Johnston Station Miss, on
Saturday, December 8, 1921, for the
purpose of ascertaining whether the
voters residing in the territory en-
braced in the Johnston Station Pub
lie School District, rural line
school district located in the coun-
ties of Pike and Lincoln, will author
ize the issuance of bonds in the sum
of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000)
the same to be apportioned as fol-
lows: Three thousand five hun
dred ($3,500) to be issued by Lin
colin county, and six thousand five

Lincoln County Teachers Meet.

On Saturday, Nov. 10th, the third
meeting of the rural teachers was
held and after hearing the able and
practical demonstration in spelling
given by Mrs. Wiley Evans and pu-
pills of Arlington School, every one
present felt quite repaid for any en-
ergy spent In getting there on time.
Spelling is the one subject of our
school curriculum that has been most
nenlected but we feel that this splen-
did demonstration will give new
ideas of method to many who are try
ing to teach spelling.
The Association is also indebted
to Mr.. H. V. Wall for the splendid
address he delivered. Perhaps a new
line of thought was given some or it
may be an old one was brought home
more forcibly upon hearing the fig
ures, quoted by Mr.. Wall, as to the
rational high tax on property; and
maybe the efforts of our educational
force will be greater perhaps dou-
bled, in trying to bring about the
right attitude among rural people
regarding their registering and the
paying of the poll tax thus retaining
and obtaining chance Of lettering
conditions through the ballot
Mr. Wall also touched upon the
value Of organizing a power not on
ly among farmers but among teach
ers, and ideas we're advanced, which,
before the present school session ter
inmates, will probably bring about
some action in the form of resolu-
ton, suggestion to the school board,
or a petition to the legislature for
lettering rural school conditions. Let
us give the rural boy and girl their
chance.

Hindman to Succeed U. S. Attorney
Alexander.

Telegraphic advices from Wash
ington state that President Harding
has appointed Hon. E. E. Hindman,
of Vicksburg as U. S. district
attorney, for the southern district of
Mississippi, to succeed Hon. Julian
Alexander, says the Vicksburg Her
aid.
Mr.. Alexander rendered his resig-
nation some time since to take effect
on January 1st, and Mr.. Hindman's S
appointment becomes effective on
that date.
The appointment of Mr.. Hindman
was, forecasted by the Daily News
several months ago, and his selection
will meet with cordial approval by
the bench and the bar in this
state.
1t is known that the selection of
Mr.. Hindman Is very satisfactory to
Senators Williams and Harrison and
this means speedy confirmation by
the senate.
Mr.. Hindman has been a resident
of Jackson for nearly twenty years,
and enjoys high standing in his
profession. He came here from In
diana, his native state, and was for
a short time claim agent of the 1lli-
nois Central, later taking up the
practice Of law.
From the viewpoint of legal a.
bility, Mr. Hindman is we'll equipped
for the office to which he has been
named, and the selection is in every
way pleasing to the people of Missis-
sippi.

WOMEN VOTERS HOLD
INTERESTING MEET
DIR. /. w. Cooper Talks on Com
mission Government and
Other Matters.

The Lincoln County League OF Wo-
men Voters met in the City Hall on
Thursday afternoon, Mrs. T. Brady,
chairman, presiding.
A number of reports were present
ed by chairmen among them one by
Mrs. Palmer Drury, county chairman.
Mrs. Drury reported that there was
no great amount of objection to
women voting in the county, and
that as poll taxes are used within the
county for the benefit of the public
schools, there will probably be little
objection to women paying the poll
tax.
There was a brief discussion of
Brookhaven's mosquito problem, and
committee was appointed to study
! it.
Mrs. Mary Hartman and Mrs. E.
M. Bee gave interesting discussions
of subjects in the Know Your Own
Community" course.
A communication from Mrs. Rich
ard Edwards vice-president of the
National League of Women Voters,
stated that it was the policy of the
League to work for legislation upon
only few measures upon which all
the county leagues could unite.
The feature of the program was a
discussion by DR.. I. w. Cooper of city
government in which he gave an ex-
position of the commission form of
government. In beginning, DR.. Coop
er reminded the women present that
the spirit behind laws that is effect
i've, and urged them not to forget
this, now that they are becoming a.
gents in the making and enforcement
Of statutes. DR.. Cooper told of the
city's debt, estimated to be S110, 900
and bond issue of 100000, and
the need for the same expert man
agement in city finances as in pri-
vate business.
An interesting conversation be-
tween Irwin Cobb and Mr.. J. W. Nc
Grath was related by the speaker, in
which Irwin Cobb stated that within
thirty years the moving picture
shows would have so demoralized
America that marriage would no ion
ger exist-that this was the most
nenacing institution in American life
today. Mr.. McGrath disagreed with
him and held that the automobile
was responsible for the greater part
of the immortality so prevalent, that
it was so grave a danger because
mothers did not understand it to be
one, and did not insist upon proper
chaperonage Of their daughter.
DR.. Cooper's speech was received
with the appreciation 1t so thorough
ly merited, and rising vote of
thanks was given him. ,-.-.
Mr.. ]. L. Godbold's loan of a type
writer was gratefully acknowledged
by the organization.
About fifty women were present.
There we're IL for Ward /, 8 from
Ward 2, 7 from Ward 8, and 21 from
Ward 4.
Announcement was made that Mrs.
Maude Wood Park of Washington,
president of the National League of
Women Voters will be in New Or
leans in January.
Copies of 1.-THE Woman Citizen"
containing an outline of Know your
own Community" were distributed.

ILLEGAL REGISTRATION
Is SUBJECT OF RULING
Attorney General Advises Many Cit
izens to Again Get on
Books.

That all persons in Mississippi who
Fave registered for suffrage during
the past year when county registrars
took the registration books on tours
of the precincts without authority
of law should again register, is the
opinion given out by Attorney Gem
eral Frank Robertson.
Registrations made under such cir
cumstances, according to the attor-
ney general. would probably be re-
garded as illegal if brought to test
in the courts, and might involve e.
lection results next year.
THE prudent thing for any cleo
tor who has so registered would be
to remove such doubt by reregister-
ing in the proper manner" says the
attorney general,-iackson News.

READJUSTMENT OF
R. R. FREIGHT RATES
Continued from Page 1.)

Packing House Products 13c, Paper
Bags, wrapping paper and newsprint
paper 15c, roofing 12c, soap 15c,
stoves and ranges CSC, wagons 21c.
The reduction given on the items
mentioned will be from 1c to sc per
cwt., more than stated as l have TAX
en- New Orleans as a basis and Hat
tiesburg will take lower rate than
New Orleans on south bound freight.
do not know how the members of
the Chamber of Commerce or the cit
liens, will feel with regard to this
decision, but personally l consider
the rates as adjusted as fair and E.
quail as could be done, all things con-
sidered; and 1 am very much pleased
to know that after a long hard night
of fifteen years we have succeeded,
with the help and cooperation of
other interior points, in having this
discrimination removed.
At the hearing before the Com
mission July 22nd, New Orleans,
Memphis, and other river points
per cent of the commodities are
brought into the Mississippi Valley
are handled by the depressed points.
This statement was accepted as be-
ing true. If such is the case, the
railroads receive increases from sc
to 15c on 80 per cent Of all the
commodities moving into the valley
territory; and while this decision is
good for the interior points, it looks
to us like the railroads will be great
ly benefited as the increases are at
the large centers and their revenues
are bound to be increased according
ly.
Mr.. Secretary, after giving this
matter careful consideration, and
whereas the railroads and shippers
have placed Hattiesburg, Laurel and
Brookhaven in the same group, TAX
ing the same rates on both classes
and commodities, and the action of
te railroads and shippers in placing
these towns in the same group has
been confirmed by the Commission, I
am profoundly impressed with the
! fact that the interests of these three
towns are the same and Identical,
and I wish to recommend to the
Chamber of Commerce of Hattiesburg
that they take up with the Cham
Der of Commerce of Laurel and the
Board of Trade of Brookhaven with
view of establishing a Joint Freight
Bureau for the purpose of checking
new rates, making comparisons and
for the presenting of claims of the
three cities before the Commission.
| This will be necessary as the rates
will be changed on almost every item
being received or shipped out Of these
three points and the railroad clerks
themselves in many instances will
not be able to check correct rates.
1t will take strong man as man
ager, several clerks and a stenogra-
pher to do this work efficiently, and
If the three cities mentioned will
pool their interests we will have a
freight bureau that will be a credit
to the state.
And now in conclusion-the work
that my associates and / set out to
do has been accomplished. and no
tice that the Interstate Commerce
Commission in making their decision
in this case state that the Proceed
ing is discontinued; hence Mr.. Sec
retary, regard my work as finished
and will leave the matter of rates
entirely and solely In the hands of
the Bureau that hope to see organ
lied as above in the near future.
Respectfully.
