and Parks will stand for movement
of this kind they know who is who
in the county, and they know what
dairying win do for the farmer and the
banker. And there are men acting IN
the capacity Of marketing agent or
demonstrator who can accomplish this,
within 80 days in Lafayette County.
The marketing agents connected
with the notable successes mentioned,
are concerned chiefly with prediction
not buying and selling of merchandise.
When we have increased production
along lines other than the boil weevll,
and when the berry and cream checks
come two and three times week, the
farmers won't need the advice OF the
Bureau as to what is to be done with
the returns.
Another instance notable in the ac-
tivity of Tate county, is the part play
ed by the county paper. The county
paper is party to the commercial
triangle, it keeps faith with both the
merchants and te farmer. TIE county
paper of Tate county is prospering
with the other commercial units of the
county and it knows that it pays to
advertise. You will note that the mer-
chants and bankers buy this space
they advertise if for no other reason,
than to support the county paper. But
in Lafayette, the situation is different
Our paper leans to the advice of the
Wilson, Willis and Olsons. against the
commercial interest of the county; fol-
lows their advice to create wall OF
prejudice between the varied interests
of the county, antagonize the farmers
and the merchants and the bankers,
and the difference is, that there seems
to be considerable advertising space
in our county paper, without demand.
The Board of Supervisors have been
forced to meet these estranged condi-
tions, bv employing a public marketing
agent that the general public can ap-
proach without profit. We have there
fore, the stock company known as the
Farm Bureau, that offers to buy and
sell and the public marketing agent.
With this competition, we should get
the very best prices and treatment, for
it is a case of Survival of tire fittest. .
If the farmers, few of them, want to
go into the business of merchandis-
ing, it is alright and the sheriff will
issue license and taxes as upon other
business. But the farmers, merchants
viii not be permitted, anv more than
other merchants, to, control the sale
and marketing of farm products, nor
the actions of the Board of Super
visors.
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, the skele-
ton of the Grange, Alliance and Cot
ton Cooperative movements, show
conclusively, the dangers of estrange-
ment between the commercial interests
and the farmers. And further, the
commercial interests of the county
pay over half of the taxes, and if they
want public marketing agent, why
shouldn't they have it. Why not try it
out as we have the Demonstration.
(Signed) T. PAYER.

STATE ARE
PLACED TO FORE
Expected To Occupy Attention O
Next Legislature.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 25.-The
vital qquestion of reducing the states
expenditures, so as to cut down taxa
tion, is being pressed vigorously and
will doubtless be one of the foremost
questions before the next Legislature.
That the expenses oft he state would
reach $19,5O0,OO0 for the past two
years ,as shown in the figures COM
| piled by Secretary Of State Power, has
been revelation to many taxpayers.
1t is further pointed out that this was
only current expenditures and does
not include the lump appropriation
or authorization of $5,000,000 of i'm
provement bonds now being spent un-
| der tn supervision of the bond inn
orovement commission.
Only about $2,500,00 Of these bonds
have been issued up to date, but the
interest on same will be new item
o Expenditure in the next two-year
budget of appropriations. That re-
duction fexpenses is necessary is
conceded, and many thoughtful lead
ers are now spending much time and
research to be prepared to say just
where the heavy cuts should be made.
It is conceded that taxation has
reached the limit and then some, and
that further increases in appropria-
tions is out of the question.
One suggestion often heard now IS
that stron gcomittee of each house
be appointed to go over the entire
budget Of expenses, cut out all un-
necessary emplOymentS and even un-
necessary dnna yfmer,ts. II is further

Paris Says Taffeta for
FrOckS in Ribbon Form

The insistence upon this sprightly
silk with its dominating character is
due undoubtedly TO the stern efforts
OF certain set of designers to coerce
women into wearing clothes that are
mixture between old Spanish and Vic
torian-French. Probably 1t is better. TO
designate the 1870 fashions Eugenie-
French. for the Empress did go into So
ciety and liked it. whereas 1t was the
custom of the English smart set TO say
with a contemptuous shrug that "the
Queen was not in society" Reminiscent,
isn't 1t, of the way smart Washington
has talked of its Presidents?
Whatever the source of distended
skirts, wide hens. tight bodices and
small sleeves. the fact remains that
French leaders are doing their best to
make them part Of the present fashion.
The Americans who have been meet
ing in council to ordain a purely ma
tional silhouette for this spring have
dropped from Napolean the Little to
Napoleon the Big and launched the

ftQiiSt SuccuRl6S To Death
Monday.

Hemp Wallace, aged II, we'll
known planter and capitalist
of Saratoga, died in a Hot
Springs hospital at ten o'clock
Monday morning. Death came
as the result of a chronic COM
piaint from which he had suf-
fered for several years. His
health had failed rapidly and
three weeks ago he went to a
Hot Springs specialist for
treatment and death came
while there. The remains We're
brought to Ozan and interment
was had at two o'clock Tues
day afternoon, Rev. +. L. Wiley
of Hot Springs being in charge
Of the burial services. The re-
mains were laid to rest in the
family plot in St. Paul ceme-
terry
Josiah Hampstead Wallace
was born April %, 1849, on the
Wallace farm two and one-half
miles west of Ozan. His father
died while he was quite young
and the burden of the family
fell upon him and his brother,
David P. Wallace, who died at
Nashville twelve years ago. La
ter he and his brother were
partners and promoted eXten-
sive farming and merchandis-
ing operations in which they
were unusually successful. The
partnership was later dissolved
and Hemp retained the farm
ing interests and David took
oner the other interests.
&sA deceased owned several
thousand acres of land near
Saratoga md had interests in
the NJ. D. and G. railroad, The
| Planters Bank of Nashville and
several other enterprises.
It is known that in his will
Mr.. Wallace provided that his
tenants who had lived on his
plantation for several years
could remain on the land un-
disturbed Tor a period of twen-
ty-five years after his death.
Mr.. Wallace was never mar
ried and for many years had
made his home with Mr.. and
Mrs. w. L. Ellis at Saratoga.

WOOD IS GIVEN
Penn SENTENCE
BleUinS Farmer GiUeR 3 I.2
Years for Killing of
Tom holland.

viii Wood, well-to-do farm
er Of Blevins, was sentenced
by Judge George R. Haynie to
serve 3 1-2 years in the state
penitentiary this morning. An
appeal to the Supreme Court
was granted and Woods bond
pending hearing of the case in
the higher court was fixed at
$500. 1t is thought this will
be made today. The argument
was finished and the case went
to the jury at ten o'clock yes
terday morning. The jury Ge-
liberated until eight o'clock
last night when they reported
that they had agreed that the
defendant was guilty of invol-
untary manslaughter but that
they could not agree upon the
terms of punishment. Seven ju-
rors voted for five years and
five jurors wanted two years as
the punishment. The time was
left to the court and early this
(Friday) morning he was
sentenced to two and one-half
years by the court.
Wood was charged with the
killing of Tom holland, a neigh
Dor, January 18th. The cause of
the quarrel which ended fatal
" was a settlement for some
timber. The discussion grew
heated and the shooting re-
suited. Wood made a plea of
self defense, claiming that No
land had started toward him
with an open knife when he
fired the fatal shot. There was
-gnfe one eyewitness to the
killing, Noah Coopwood, and
his testimony tended to con-
tradict that Of the defendant.
A total of over fifty witnesses
were examined, including sew
eral character witnesses intro
duced by the defense.
The defense was ably rep
resented by Hon. Steve Carri-
gan Of Hope and Hon. Ran
dolph P. Handy of Prescott,
