Miss Frances Birkhead, was written
by the. janitor of the federal building
when the courtroom was closed until
the next term of court in April.
Cuspidors were cleaned, pencil marks
on the press table were erased and
the furniture was stored in the attic
The last record of the actual court

MORE TURKEYS
TO GO FROM
TUPELO
Third Car Going This Week, Since
Nov. 20-$16, 100000 Worth of
Christmas Birds-50,O00
Pounds.

Tupelo is quite a produce market
even though yet somewhat in the
infancy of that industry's develop
ment Quite so!
J. H. McCarty, one of the produce
dealers, is shipping this week his
third carload of turkeys since Nov.
goth, beside 1000 pounds going for
ward by express; and another car is
in sight for shipment before January
l. In other words, this one Tupelo
firm is shipping between Nov. 20 and
Jan. 1, some $4,000 pounds of turkeys
valued roughly at about S16,000.00.
Now that is quite an item in the in
come of the people who raise produce
in the lupelo country; but chickens
and eggs have turkeys badly beaten
many times over and then some. In
short a quarter of million dollars is
6 very reasonable estimate of the
value of chickens shipped out Of Tu
oelo. yearly And hereby hangs the
big argument that Mr.. McCarty is ad
vancing this week to the farmers and
other chicken raisers who are attend
ing the Poultry Show in Tupelo.
Mr.. McCarty says in effect that we
have the quantity of poultry in Lee
county. He wants to see added to
that the Quality in breeds; and when
scientific care of the birds is also a
fact, the same number of chickens
will be worth great deal more
money and cost less to keep and
handle. He is making this kind of
campaign and there is no doubt in the
world but what it will win. along with
the splendid effect of the thousands
of fine birds from the ten states of
the Union to illustrate with.-Tupelo

BILBO BLAMED
FOR RUSSELL
DAMAGE SUIT
Governors Friends Bitter Over Ugly
RumOrs.

Oxford, Miss, Dec. 13.-The story
of the Birkhead- Russell seduction suit
has not yet been written. 1t may
never be written unless Theo. G. Bill
bo gets in reckless mood and tells
all he knows. He had an opportunity
to tell his story in federal court last
week, but he preferred to "hunt trees"
according to press dispactch. He
must have found one tall enough to
climb and safely elude the u. S. mar
shals.
1t was an open secret here during
the trial that Bilbo dared not come
as a witness. He would have been
damned if had testified for Russell
and damed if he had testified against
him, ,~say the observers who claim to
know the inside of the case. Russell
was prepared to challenge him on the
ground that the former governor had
acted as his counsel and therefore
could not testify against his client.
There was persistent underground
rumor throughout the trial that Bill
bo's appearance would be the signal
for letting loose the dogs of war with
a fury unprecedented in the history Of
Mississippi The bald, unvarnished
truth is that an effort was under way
to show that Bilbo was the prime
mover and instigator of the whole
business. He had fallen out with Rus
sell over a pardon which the governor
refused to issue, according to the
dopesters, and he set out to "get Rus
SELL" In his effort to "get Russell'
Bilbo is said to have connived with
Miss Frances C. Birkhead to bring the
seduction suit against the governor
agreeing to testify that he had acted
as Russell's agent to compromise the
case with the woman.
Even more serious charges were to
be lodged against Bilbo if he had
shown up in court. 1t will be re-
membered that the governors exact
words, on the witness stand when ask
ed about the seduction were:
"If Miss Birkhead was seduced by
anyone in the lieutenant governors
office she was not seduced by Lee M.
Russell"
Those who know Mr.. Bilbo well, de-
clare that he figured that he could
feather his political nest most advan-
tageously by staying away from the
trial. If Miss Birkhead had won he
could have claimed the credit openly
going through the inconvenience of
cross examination under oath. Now
that Gov. Russell has won he can say
to the governors friends:
81 helped him to win his case. If
/ had testified what | knew he never
could have won"
However, Mr. Bilbo seems to have
pleased no one by his actions. The
Russell folk believe that he was be-
hind the Birkhead suit. The prose-
cutors of the Birkhead case feel that
he doublecrossed them bv running to
the timbers when the case came to
trial.
Bilbo still has his eyes on the gov
ernorship, it is claimed He would
welcome Jail sentence for contempt
of court, his enemies state, since he
could then conduct theatrical cam
paign from behind prison bars.-Com-

JOHN WANNAMAKER.

A big, broad-minded, constructive
American passes in the death of John
Wanamaker One who raised himself
from q small beginnings to power in
the mercantile world, who turned his
back on political preferment, who
wrought nightly for his community
and state and now dies in the full
ness of age personally mourned by
thousands.
Thinking, trying, toiling and trust
ing is all of my biography," Wana-
maker wrote to one inuuiring into his
personal history. Important as the
observation is, the world will insist
on it's expansion to proportions more
fitting the career of one whose indi-
vidual achievements comprise SO large
part of the business history of half
century.
Beginning active life as errand boy
and door knob polisher for a Market
street store in Philadelphia at $1.50
week, Wanamaker made himself the
biggest merchant of his time. He was
credited with originatino the idea of
the modern department store which
has expanded to become one of the
dominant influeces in merchandising.
And while thus building his business
ventures into the structure of Ameri-
can progress he found time for in
creasing activity in philantrophy,
church and social betternent work.
He was the first paid Y. M. G. A.
secretary in the United States.
Wanamaker served as postmaster
general in the Harrison administrs-
tion with credit to himself; and in
1897 he let his name be used at Har-
risburg as q candidate for the Senate
against Quay. He could have mad the
vice-presidential nomination with Taft
in 1912 but refused the honor.
1t may be doubted whether Ameri-
ca will ever see another merchant
