INJUNCTION BARS
INSURANCE FIRMS
ABONDONING STATE
Mississippi Temporary Writ
Made Permanent in Chancery
Court Opinion in Billion Dol
lar Suit.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. IA
temporary injunction granted
ten days ago on petition of State
Revenue Agent Stokes V. Rob
ertson, to prevent 100 fire in
surance companies from with
drawing from the State OF Mis-
sissippi was today made perman-
nent by Chancellor V. j. Stricken
in Kinds county chancery court.
The chancellor overruled the
contention of the insurance COM
panies that the revenue agent is
without authority to.resort to in
junction and that his powers are
purely statutory.
The fact that the revenue
agent has the power to sue In
the name of the state, says
Chancellor Stricken, entities him
to use an injunction ancillary; a
writ of garnishment, subpoena,
duces tecum or other necessary
processes and he con not be re-
garded as a litigant below the
level Of the common man.
In a lengthy written opinion,
the chancellor holds that if the
insurance companies should
withdraw from the state "as the
result of conspiracy, then such
action would be an end OF the
subject matter within the state,
and a public calamity preciplta-
ted by a crime of the most rep
rehensible character"
The cmpanies opposing the IN
junction are defendants in the
.billion-dollar antitrust suit flied
by the state revenue agent an
swer to which is now pending.

process of getting that eighteen in

is very painful to the '.pumpee," VINO
in most cases resists with all the

occasion. AS many doctors and or

1t isn't long after that until tie

quart OF warm water is poured into
the funnel. Then the bulb is squeezed
and released and the real pumping be-
gins. When the contents of the sr0ms

amount of solution of magnesium
sulphate is poured in and pumped out.
Then larger amount of the same so
luton is poured in and allowed to re-
main. By that time the patient is
ready to lie quitely on his bed and
not worry about the rest of the world.
Of the fifty-eight emergency cases
in which the stomach pump has been
used at the local hospital since jan
uary, 1, forty were cases of poisoning
due to wood alcohol, Jamaica ginger
and other whisky substitutes, while
eighteen were cases where other poi

MAKE BONDS
LEGAL TENDER
Tom Watson To Propose Radical
Step In Senate.

Senator-elect Thomas E. Watson,
of Georgia, announces in copyright
ed statement published in the Attain
ia Constitution, that at the extra ses-
sion of the 7th Congress he will in
troduce a bill to make Liberty and
Victory bonds and other government
war paper legal tender.
IIr. Watson also announced plans
for introducing bills to force the fed
eral reserve and farm loan banks to
iend money directly to individuals
and to require the secretary of the
treasury to issue the unissued green
backs authorized by a bill signed by
President Lincoln. The total of these
authorized but uaissued greenbacks,
according to the senator-elect, is
$102 100000.
Discussing his plan to make legal
tender of Liberty and Victory bonds,
credit certificates, war savings stamps
and all government obligation paper
issued during and since the world war
as remedy for what he claims is an
existing domestic crisis" Mr.. Wat
son declared such action would have
an electrifyingF effect upon American
business life.
Such action, he said. twill not in
crease the governments obligation
one dollar, but@will Immediately bring
from the bank vaults, private safes,
bureau drawers, tin boxes and stock
mgs billions of dollars of circulating
legal tender, now inactive and salable
only at loss, and enable the people
to pay their debts to each other, the
consumer to the merchant, the mer-
chant to the small banker, the small
banker to his correspondent, and SO
on"
On passage of such legislation, Mr..
Watson declared, "all apprehension
of panic would quickly disappear
/ Regarding the nations financial
system, Mr.. Watson said ne would in
troduce bills to make it mandatory
under penalty for the regional banks
to lend direct to farmers on appoved
securities at an interest rate not over
per cent; to repeal that section of
the farm loan bank act requiring
group of 10 sognatories to loan and
insertion of mandatory clause COM
peling such banks to lend to an in
dividual applicant upon approved Sc
curity without the requirement of adj
ditional obligators.
Opposition to an increase in taxes
or to- a higher tariff and desire for
establishment of pre-war trade re-
latioas with Russia and Germany
were expressed by Mr.. Watson in the
same statement. He also favored
ending tie war with Germany by
resolution.

TO THE WOMEN VOTERS OF
OXFORD.

A new day has dawned for the
women. We .1ave been given the right
of franchise, and with the right, also
has come the moral obligation and
duty to vote.
The world at large has been looking
to the women to cleanse politics. Much
hot air has been expeded on this sub
iect, and needless bouquets thrown at
our heads in an effort to touch our
vanity. But the truth remains, that
if the women don't lNnd helping
hand we are worse off than before.
We, as the women of Oxford, are to
have our first chance to help in this
cleansing, on Jan. 81, and let US be
awake to this, our new duty, aid go
about it il the right spirit, and stand
clear an above petty politics when we
cast our vote. As women, we must
live up to what has been claimed for,
an expected of us, and thlow our in
fluence for the rigsat irrespective of
factions within the party lines.
First of all let us inquire into the
moral life Of each candidate, and if it
will not stand close inspection, then
for the safety of our homes, as well as
the public good, see to it that our
votes are cast for a man who stands
clean and honest before the world.
"If man be not square in his own
life
Then it must follow as night the day.
He cannot be square with any man,
Cor the town either.)

The stomach pump is always
brought into use when poison IS sus-
pected. Certain poisons, such as car
bolic acid, take effect on the mem-
.branes immediately, and the pump is
OF little use, but in many cases where
a large amount of poison like BIZ
chloride of mercury is taken, wash

Whether the people of Louisville
get hold of better whisky substitutes
and take weaker poisons than persons
in other cities or whether the staff at
the City Hospital here is the most
efficient in the country, might be a
mooted question, but the fact remains
that while victims of poison and alco-
hol are dying in other places, here
they get their stomachs pumped and
are ready for work the next morning.

PROSPERITY AHEAD.

There is much comfort to be had
from the statement recently of Judge
Elbert H. Gary, head of the United
States Steel corporation, the greatest
business concern the world ever pro-
duced.
Judge Gary says a long period OF
wonderful prosperity is just ahead OF
the people of the United States.
When Judge Gary opens his mouth
ae is in the habit of saying something,
and he never says a thing unless he
knows what he is talking about.
He has been wise prophet IN the
past, because he possesses the ability
to read conditions and possibilities as
they are.
There is no reason why his prophe-
sy should not be one of wisdom IN
this case, because there is no reason
why we should.not prosper and every
reason why we should.
Banks and financiers generally
state that we. have passed through our
worst period of depression and are
now on the up grade. Only the rank
est kind of pessimism can hold US
back.
And who wants to be pessimist
when ever human instinct spurs US on
to optisism?
Let's demonstrate our faith in the
return of prosperity by recognizing
the fact that it isyhere and BY doing
our share toward its maintenance in
this community. s.
Let the watchword be production,
wisdom in spending, and the employ
ment Of systematic course Of saving.
A proportionate amount Of the pros
perity Of the country belo1s to the
people Of this community.
Let's get all we can and keep al we
get.
Other communities will be doing the
same.

COT TON
ACREAGE 1927

At the big cotton convention held
in Memphis, December 8th and 9th,
which was largely attended by farm
ers, bankers and merchants from the
Cotton Belt, it was agreed that the
only way to stabilize the price of the
great staple of the South was to re.
duce the acreage Of 1921 so that we
would raise crop SO per cent less
than that of 1920.
1t was decided, after a careful sur
vey of the situation that the most
reasonable and effective plan was to
formulate rule that could be univer-
sally applied, which is as follows:
HAVE EVERY FARMER IN THE
SOUTH TO AGREE TO PLANT NOT
MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF HIS
LAND UNDER CULTIVATION
to cotton in 1921.
This plan will result in great di-
versification on the part OF the farm
er and will, if followed up from year
to year, in the opinion of such an ex-
pert as Bradford Knap, put the south

putting tlis plan into effect, the State
Bankers Associations, together with
the State Divisions Of the American
Cotton Association, the Merchants As
sociations and the Farmers Unions

Operating in the organization of the
State.
1t was tae concensus of opinion Of
| the Memphis convention that the en-
lforcement Of this plan would not only
cause an advance in the price of cot
ton now on hand, but would also in
lsure a higher price for the 1921 yield.

|tu9atton, but 30 far 40 known until
this latest census no whole towns have
been overlooked. Yet this happened
in. the fourteenth. It has just been dis.
covered that the village of Long
Beach. N. z, was altogether omitted.
No supervisor was named for it and
no nametaker was assigned to it. 1t
was Just simply forgotten. Probably
in the hustle Of Long Beach's active
life nobody noticed the absence of
enumerators last winter. There are
about q thousand people out there in
Long Beaoh. and they make q mighty
lively community. But suddenly
somebody woke up to the fact that
something was missing. and what it
was could not be told until somebody
else got hold Of a. list Of New York
state towns in the census records and
Long Beach was not there. So New
York state's population is 1000 shy,
more or less, in the fourteenth count.
Perhaps by special dispensation an
'enumerator win be sent out to count
the Long Beachers now as of year
ago. with particular reference to the
births and deaths and shifts in and
out of town that have occurred mean
while. Surely there will be no off.
cial disposition to take the attitude:
Whats a thousand more or less,
anyway, in big concern like this?"
