XII KLUX PROBE
COMES TO END
Committee Can Make Report to
Congress; Question of Re-
opening Doubtful.

Washington, D. Civilian JOS
eph Simmons, imperial wizard OF the
Ku Klux Klan, arranged to leave to-
day for his home at Atlanta, ready
to return to testify in event the
House decides to order an investiga-
tion of the organization.
There was no statement from the
rules committee as to when it would
meet to act on resolutions calling for
an INJURY, although it seemed pret-
ty we'll understood that none would
be recommended. The action of
the committee in voting unanimous
ly yesterday not to proceed with the
examination of witnesses, was taken
to mean the end of the hearings.
The committee, if it sees fit, may
make no report whatever to the
House.
The question of re-opening the
hearing will depend, it was said, up
on the presentation of new testi-
mony whether by the Department of
Justice, which is making it's own in
vestigation, or by organizations or
citizens.
At the rules hearing witnesses
were not required to testify under
oath, the committee being without
authority, as chairman Campbell
explained, to administer it. A gen.
eral investigating committee would
have that authority and also could
summon any witnesses desired.

GARAGE PUTS OVER NO
VEL ADVERTISING STUNT
Auto Service Station Created Ex-
citement With Bills-Only
Advertisements,

Local business men will no doubt
profit by the unique methods of ad-
vertising which were employed by
the Auto Service Station in reaching
the automobile public with new
article.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
hardest problem confronting the bus
mess man who wants to reach the
public either for an interview or to
bring to his attention any fact or
statement, that human nature as a
rule either is too busy to lend any
time or thought to the matter at
hand or for convenience sake fails to
take notice of matter brought to
their attention in most forms.
1t is an evident fact that an ordi-
nary person can be and is brought to
attention in more ways than one
even in cases where that person is
too busy or is adverse to giving at
tention to meritorious enterprises
brought to his attention.
The Auto Service Station has re-
Gently been fortunate in obtaining
the distributing agency for stor-
age battery whose merits are de-
scribed in this issue, also they want
ed to impress upon the automobile
public the fact that they were in a
position to do different class of
high grade repair work in addition
to giving first class battery service.
Knowing facts as above stated,

this firm made out statements CIV
ing an itemized account in detail of
a number of items they were in a
position to care for and mailed them
TO prospects whom they were anx-
ious to get in touch with.
These statements were all abbre-
waited at the bottom in small letters
and the unsuspecting person on re-
ceiving the statement naturally sus-
pected an error or that some one
without their authority had opened
an account and they were to become
victimized for the amount OF the ac-
count.
Results on this advertising have
shown that ninety per cent of the
people SO addressed not only read
the contents of the letter but were
very anxious to meet in person the

PLANTATION. having, as you no doubt
'surmised, failed to notice the abbre-
Walton at the bottom of the invoice
The management of the Auto Ser
vice Station is pleased by the results
obtained from their unique way OF
advertising, but had no intention OF
putting anyone to any Inconvenience
as a result of the advertising form
used.

UNION CHURCH PUTS IN
A NEW MILK STATION
Copiah Towns Are Going in Strong
for the Dairying Industry.


Hazlehurst, Miss.-The dairying
industry for Copiah is not only car
ried on from large skimming sta
tion here and at Wesson and other
railroad towns, but has now invaded
the precincts Of the rural districts.
Union Church, a rural community
with a progressive class of people,
has installed milk station there.
the Brookhaven Creamery Company
being the financiers of the new pro-
ject.
Already nearly 100 cows have
been bought by the farmers near
here, and 100 more will be imported
from Tennessee very soon. The sta
tion there will handle more than
400 gallons of milk alday within the
next sixty days, the output now be-
ing near the S25gallon mark. This
community town In the interior of
the country is 80 miles west of Ha-
zlehurst, and has three counties as
its constituent territory. The milk

Ahrough Hazlehurst thence to the
main plant at Bfookhaven.
Wesscn. in the southern part of
the county, already is the heaviest
shipping point in the state, and
when Hazlehurst, Crystal Springs,
Hopewell, Georgetown, Beauregard,
Gallman, Carpenter, Rockport, and
now Union Church get under full
headway in the business there will
be no county in the state to excel the
quantity of milk shipped from Ha-
zlehurst and Copiah county as a
whole.

COUNTY
MAN is MURDERED
Elmer Stroud Slain on Way
Home From the Wheat
Fields.

Never was more heinous crime
perpetrated or planned out IN the
mind of man or demon than the act
which snuffed out the young life of
Elmer E. Stroud, son of Mrs. Tom
Stroud of near Meadville, who was
murdered and robbed Monday night,
Oct. 10, two miles from Toganoxie,
Kansas. Every evidence of guilt
point to a murderous fiend who had
represented himself as friend, hav-
ing gained the confidence of the boy
who later became his victim. Since
June Elmer had been engaged in the
wheat fields of Kansas, he had saved
some money and was on his way
home. He was accompanied to
Toganoxie by his supposed to be
friend, the man last seen with him.
The arrest of the man followed the
finding of the body. He was brought
back to make the Identification
which he did. Upon making in
vestigation he was found to have in
his possession a watch, purse and
time book belonging to Stroud.
The body was brought home Sat-
urday by E. M. McLemore, of Kirby,
young man who left here with
Stroud for the wheat fields.
The news of this young mans un-
timely death threw a shadow over
the entire community, many words
of sympathy were spoken for the be-
reaved family, tho none but those
who have sat in the shadow of a
great bereavement can justly weigh
such sorrow as this.-Franklin Ad-
vocate.

OBITUARY.

A few days ago a multitude of
people were sad when the news
came that Mr.. Yves. Wroten was
dead. Everybody who knew him
loved him-loved him because he
was honorable and kind and good
and true. His friends and neigh
bors will miss him for many days
and wish for him to be back among
them with his kindly word of cheer,
his exemplary conduct, his perfect
ly pure moral and religious habits.
Yet in contemplating his going away
they will inevitably be helped and
strengthened by the realization that
his was life altogether good and
noble and great.
The saddest blow falls of course
upon the immediate family, the wife
and several children. Time can
never entirely efface the sadness and
sorrow and grief that the death of
this good husband and kind father
has visited upon the sorrowing and
heartbrokenFwife and children. Their
tears and heart-aches but attest his
goodness and kindness to them and
their loyalty and devotion to him.
His interest in his whole family and
his loyalty to them and his eagerness
to do his full duty as husband and
father is known to many. To them
he was, indeed, blessing and an
inspiration.
We can never understand just
why at what seems an unpropitious
moment the icy handed messenger Of
death invades happy and content
ed home and takes away forever one
Of its most priced and cherished
members. 1t seems so hard and un-
bearable, 1t brings so much worry
and sorrow and grief, yet, we may
safely assure ourselves that He who
has spoken and can speak worlds in
to existence knows what is best.
The loved ones may well take hope
from this consolation and let it light
en- as much as can be their sadness
and sorrows. Then there is another
higher and better realization; man
Of Wes Wroten's moral and Christ
ian chracter, for he was a devoted
follower OF the great Nazarene, could
have no other logical home in the
unending eternity save that Of an
eternal abode withsther angels a.
round the great white throne of
God.
In final word of tribute to this
good man, let it be said, he was one
of Franklin county's best citizens, a
kind husband, tender, loving faith
er, an accommodating neighbor, sub
stantial friend, and. the highest and
best thing that can be said for him,
is, he was accustomed with rever-
ence and prayer to pay bis first trib-
ute and praise to his God and his
Christ.
