TAFTVHLE

Taftvflle was treated to severe thunderstorm and doVnpour of rain last Saturday afternoon. which did much damage and completely tied up traffic on the trolley roads and state roads. A tree in the woods west of North Third avenue was struck by lightning. splin- tered and fslled. The rain descended in torrents SO that the gutters and Esxers were unat,e to carry the water Hway fast enough, and some streets were completely flooded. Sand, gravel and stones were washed into the pipes. cloEEing them at every corner. the wa ter covering the street and completely hiding it Back yards looked like lakes. and the stone stairs leading to the terraces about the town had the ap- pearsncs of miniature Niagaras. Nor Wich avenue was covered with water about a fCot deep which overran the curbing and made the street practical ly impassable. The few trolleys and automobiles that traversed this street sent out a spray If water for severa, feet each side of :ke vehicle. At the function of Hunters avenue and South B street. quantities of stones that were used for the improvement If the ave- que. were washed down South E street. A deep gully ras ciit across Hunters avenue where it connects with ProyI- dence street and motorists got a good phzkinE up when they attempted to cross h in the dark. On North B street aev- srai deep holes were drilled in the ground. and at the foot of the street on Norwich avenue, a trolley jumped the track and assisted in parslyzing all north bound traffic. The water on North Third avenue overhowsd the curbing. and the sewers being unable to take szre of the deluge. portions of the street were under water altogether. Along the trolley tracks. the gravel and stones were carried away. and many gardens in the outlying districts were beaten flat 70 the ground by the teavy downpour.

NO LIQUOR HE SAYS,
BUT "KINDER HOPING
Legislator Admits FOndness for "Cup
That Cheers Volunteer
:, Witness.

Jackson, Miss.-Although Repre-
sentative William Harrison Vance
Mitts, of Tupelo, in the county of Lee
has immolated- himself upon the altar
of the bone dry truth, he is still
kinder hoping. Those were the
very words he used under oath be-
fore the Russell probe committee last
Thursday evening.
You see, Governor Russell charged
that the outlawed fire insurance in
terests had maintained in Jackson a
pernicious liquor lobby. When ask
ed for proof, he referred the inqui-
sitors to State Revenue Agent Rob-
ertson. Revenue Agent Robertson
told the committee that their best
source of information would be found
in the members of the legislature,
who had been the objects of the lob
by. Accordingly the committee ad-
dressed letter to the house and SEN
ate, asking that any who knew of eff
forts to maintain a liquor lobby in
Jackson to step forward and declare
themselves.
One lone representative volunteer
ed. That was William Harrison
Vance Mitts of Tupelo in the county
of Lee.
1.-THE people all over Mississippi, or
a good many of them anyway, know
my fondness for liquor. Nearly ev-
erybody knows how dearly l love it,
used to love it, that is. Nearly ev-
erybody knows it will carry me pret-
ty near to the edge of the jumping
off place. But, everybody knowing
that, yet nobody has offered me any
l used to love 1T, you understand. /
haven't used any in a long, long
while"
An air of far-away meditation
gathered about the witness. Could
it be that he, was barking back to
July first, 1919?
'I've reformed" he sighed. "But
nobody knows of the reform that has
taken place in me. Not many, 1
believe. So I just believe that If
there was all that liquor passing a
round I'd have got Whit of it, any
way"
"You haven't seen any whiskeybe
ing used2"
''Seen any!" exclaimed Mr.. Mitts
with emotion.
"That Is, you haven't had a Whit
of any?"
II don't believe l have seen any
whiskey since l came to Jackson, and
/ have been around kinder hoping.
I mean, in Jackson, you understand.
don't say we hadn't seen any dur
ing our stay or absence from home,
but l mean haven't seen any in
Jackson"

Considering that this was the first

Seniors Entertain Irregulars.

Theer is a certain pleasure~in a
feast that comes from few other
forms of entertainment. If you do
not think so, ask the Irregulars. On
Friday at noon, the Home Science
room, appropriately decorated, in
green balloons, in honor of st. Pat
rick's Day, was the scene of most
delicious feast served to the Irregu-
lars by the Seniors.
The plates, filled with the finest
dainties and made attractive with ia
vors of small green bows, covered the
whole of one long table, from which
the guests were served. In addition
to the feasting much pleasure was
derived from ball games and other
stunts peculiar to the originality Of
both these classes.
The spirit of the feast was enliv-
ened by happy >countenances, cheer
ing, and an latter dinner speech by
Miss Jessie Greer. Besides the Ir-
regulars, the Seniors had as their
guests, Mr.. and Mrs. Byrd, Mr.. and

B. H. S. DEBATERS WIN.
Friday evening in the High School
Auditorium, an interesting and hotly
| contested debate took place between
| the B. H. S. representatives and the
Tylertown High School color bearers.
The subject chosen for the affair was
Resolved, That the Southwest Mis-
sissippi Schoolmasters' Club should
endorse the giving of one unit to-
ward High School graduation to any
student making three or more major
athletic teams"
The speakers who so well upheld
the Affirmative side on behalf of B.
H. S. were Messrs. Vincent Brennan
and Davidson Taylor, while Messrs.
Cabe Brumfield and Percy Magee ear
nestly supported the negative for the
Tylertown High School. The speak
ers on both sides deserved much Gre
dit for the splendid and forceful man
neP in which they delivered their
| parts.
The judges, Mr.. Hiram Cassidy.
and Miss Boykin of this city, and
Prof. Fox of Hazlehurst, decided the
contest in favor of, the affirmative.
The debates were judged partly from
the manuscripts sent in by the speak
ers to Millsaps College to be decided
upon several days before the oral
part Of the debate took place.
| The decision of the judges did not
come as surprise to the Brookha-
yenites. After the announcement of
1 the decision, the B. H. S. scholars
who were present cheered the speak
ers enthusiastically, and showered
congratulations upon the successful
contestants.
The winning team will debate an
other division in the semi-fnals for
the High School meet which is to be
held here in April, and the school
heartily wishes them successful
