HON. F. r. BIRDSALL APPOINTED
TAX. COMMISSIONER.

Governor Russell has appointed
Hon. F. r. Birdsall of Yazoo City as q
member of the State Tax Commission
to succeed Hon. Allan McCants, re-
signed. Mr.. McCants resigns because
of the demands of his private business
and law practice.
In the selection of Mr.. Birdsall to
fill this highly responsible position,
Governor Russell has shown his usual
good judgment Mr.. Birdsall is well
equipped to discharge the duties of
the office to which he has been appoint
ed, and will measure up to all the re-
quirements of that difficult position.
Mr.. Birdsall has been a newspaper
man for good many years. He has
developed the Yazoo Sentinel into one
of the great papers of the state. His
work as editor, and his wide acquaint-
ance with the state, her people, and
property conditions and values, will be
of inestimable service to him, when he
comes to meet the grave duties Of
equalizing the property values of the
various counties of the state.
He is man of sound judgment,
possesses intelligence of the highest
order, and is endowed with courage
of the kind that never flinches in the
face of the enemy.
We congratulate Governor Russell
upon his selection, and the state upon
securing the services of so valuable a
citizen to fill this high place in her
official circles. We predict for Mr..
Birdsall a career crowned with honor
to himself and credit to his state.
Whatever mistakes he makes will be
of the head and not of the heart. Mis-
sissippi has no more honorable man
than Frank Birdsall all-Vardamsn's

Eastern Star and Ruth Rebekkahs are
expected to participate in the parade

cording to plans formulated.
Baptist Day will likewise be cele
brated on the same day.
All Conditions Point to Good Fair.
One of the strongest and cleares
pointers to successful and well at
tended Mississippi State Fair mex
week, is the material and economi,
condition of the people who make ar
agricultural, horticultural and live
stock fair possible and worth while
stimulating and educational. There is
abundant evidence that the farmers OF
Mississippi this fall are, with few
exceptions, in good substantial con-
dition-the best for several years
This is the situation as analysed in
brief by Mr.. Ed. Ruff, supervising
farm demonstrator for South Missis-
sippi, whose work is established in
some 20 counties. After an extended
tour of his district Mr.. Ruff has OBJ
served enough to justify a distinctly
optimistic conclusion as to the condi-
ton generally, while reports to him
from other districts-North and East
Mississippi and the Delta-indcates
the same conditions.
Mr.. Ruff is superintendent of the
agricultural division of the State
Fair, and feels no hesitancy in pro-
the best line of exhibits and
the best attendance during fair week
since prior to the World War.
The Thearle-Dufield Fireworks
Syndicate, in addition to showing

hal observance.

ELMER WILLIAMS
SHOT BY OFFICERS
Still Raided Last Saturday Resulted
In Killing of One Man and The
Arrset of Three Others.

In raid led by federal officers anc
assisted by county officers on a still
eight miles east of Oxford last Satur.
day afternoon, Elmer Williams, age
about %, was shot dead, and three
others, Carl Denton, Ernest Thweatt
and Curtis Wells were arrested and
placed in the county Jail.
Officers Temple, Whitehead, Harts-
field, and Collins composed the raid
ing party, the two former being fed
eral officers.
1t is claimed by the officers that
Williams resisted arrest and that it
was necessary to shoot him. Denton,
Thweatt and Wells stated to repre-
sentative of the Eagle shortly after
they had been locked up, that Will
Gams was disinterested party to the
illicit distilling; that he (Williams)
had called by the still to see his
brother-in-law, Carl Denton, when
the still was approached by the Off
GERS. These boys deny that either
one of the four had gun of any
description.
Officer Collins stated to a repre-
sentative of the Eagle that Williams
did have gun. All of this will come
out in the courts, it is said.
The remains of Williams were
brought to Oxford by the O. H. Doug
las & Co., undertakers, and prepared
for burial, and later in the evening
delivered to Williams wife. The
funeral was held Sunday afternoon at
Yellow Leaf church, conducted by
Elder w. L. Smith. Interment was
made in Yellow Leaf cemetery.
Investigation Possible.
1t is reported that the relatives of
the deceased have employed Geo.
Mitchell of Tupelo and Ralf Davis of
Memphis, to make an investigation of
the deplerable affair.
The final outcome will be watched
with much interest.
Boys Make Bond.
The trio of boys who were arrested
when found operating the still, were
arraigned before U. S. Commissioner
j. J. Vance at noon Monday, and their
bond fixed at $500 each, which was
furnished by all three of the boys and
hey were released.

WALKER MEETING
FOR COMING WEEK
Friends of Former Attorney
General, Like Those of Hard
wick, are Becoming Active
and Lively Times are Ahead.

Friends and supporters of Hon. Cliff
ford Walker are preparing to call a
meeting for the purpose of organizing
la Glynn County Walker club and it is
more than likely that some evening
during the coming week will be Sc
lected, at which it is hoped by the
supporters of the former attorney gen.
eral will be present
Friends of Mr.. Walker realize the
fact that hard fight is to be made
in this county to carry it for Hardwick
this time as it will be remembered
that the last primary resulted in a to-
tai vote for Walker of 442, while
Hardwick received only Sc. 1t is
true that Mr.. Hardwick had practical
ly no organization here while the fore
es of Mr. Walker waged a vigorous
campaign for him.
Among the leaders on the Walker
side may be mentioned NJ. B. McKin-
non and F. M. Scarlet and dozens of
others could be named. The Walker
supporters are going to work the state
port matter for all it is worth while
the admirers of Governor Hardwick
are going to point to the record he
has made and say there can be few
flaws found in it. They also direct
attention to his personal way of doing
things right now, so to speak. But
the Walker people come back at this
argument with his record as attorney
general, which, as all know, was an
excellent one anG one that will go
down in the history of this state of
fee as one of the very best and most
brilliant.
But the game is young yet and there
is no telling just what may happen.
In the meantime, the Hardwick and
Walker lines are being drawn, the re-
cent voters list looked over and prep
arations made for an energetic cam
paign on both sides.

OPERATORS CONSIDER
ADVICE OF PRESIDENT
TO RESUME OPERATIONS
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, July 1S-Coal mine
operators who remained in Washing
ton after hearing the advice of Presi-
dent Harding to open their mines can.
vassed the situation carefully today to
determine what were prospects for
resuming coal production. It was
clear that managers of coal mines in
Pennsylvania expected to make at
tempts to open their properties. In
southern Ohio also, executives of
large mining companies said they held
strong hopes of successfully operating
at least percentage of that area.
The Southern Ohio Coal Operators
Association, which withheld last night
any definite response to the Presi-
dents offer of arbitration, today filed
a memorandum at the White House,
declaring themselves willing to sac
rifice and comply with the request,
and make every effort to operate their
mines for the resumption of produc-
tion, as far as conditions will permit,
with the hope that the tribunal en-
trusted with the Investigation of the
indusry and arbitrament of is dis
putes will finally award them that de-
gree of justice to which they believe
they are entitled"
The memorandum voiced the ap-
proval of the Presidents assertion
that freedom of action on the part
of worl5men and on the part of en-
ployers, does not measure in impor-
tance with the public welfare and ne
cessity"
