Washington. ID. C.. Nov. 20.
Activity of the Ku Klux Klan In
Louisiana is not regarded by President
Harding as sufficiently serious to war
rant intervention by the Federal Gov
ernment The Presidents position was
explained in statement made w At
torney- General Daugherty following
q conference with Gov. John NJ. Parker
and Attorney-G General r. V. Coce OF
Louisiana.
Gov. Parker reported to the Presi-
dent that the Klan in its operations is
attempting to fruatrate administra-
ton of the State laws in some local..
ties and asked that the Federal Gov.
ernment cooperate to curb certain
kinds of alleged offenses which have
an interstate character.
Gov. Parker vehemently denied a
published report that the State gov
ernmcnt had broken down and was
helplessly in the power OF the 'invisi-
BILE empire" He also denied that he
had come to Washington to ask that
the Federal authorities take over the
functions OF the State government.
The responsible Government OF
Louisiana is determined that, regard
less of cost or consequences. a most
thorough investigation will be made OF
the outrages reported to have been made
by the Ku Klux Klan In Louisiana. +"
said the Governor. Certain terrorizing
outrages have been committed. certain
horrifying crimes have been recorded,
and 1t is vital that responsibility be
fixed and offenders punished. not be-
cause OF any organized associations but
in spite of them. The laws OF the State
must be upheld under any and all cir
oumstances."

To the White Women Tax Payers

There seems to be an impression
that, If you do not wish to vote or
are not registered, you are not COM
PEELED to pay the poll tax. This is
incorrect.
You are liable for a poll tax whe-
ther you wish to vote or not; or
whether you are registered or not.
All taxable property you own is sub
ject to attachment for your poll tax;
Furthermore If you do not pay your
poll tax on or before the first day Of
February, 1t will be the duty of the
Sheriff Of the county to advertise
your name in the county newspaper
as delinquent in payment of poll tax,
along with the other delinquents. All
collections of-poll taxes are used to
support the public schools Of your
county, and for no other purpose.
Let us urge you, therefore, to make
payment Of your poll tax before the
first day of February. We do not
wish you to be disfranchised, and
will be pleased for you to vote.
Yours very truly,

MORETON'S SLAYER SEEMS
TO HAVE MADE ESCAPE
All Efforts to Apprehend Him With
out Efect-Many Rumors Have
No Foundation.

Notwithstanding the combined eff
forts of officers of a number of coun-
ties, John Beavers, who killed Robt
D. Moreton at Quentin, IA miles west
Of here on Christmas eve, has not
yet been apprehended.
Beavers has disappeared just "a
bout as completely from all known
sources of information, as If the
earth had opened and swallowed
him. Good authority has it that he
fingered around the locality of the
killing for day and since then
nothing definite or corroborative Of
his whereabouts is known.
His wife is reported by officers to
have passed through here on a Mis-
sissippi Central train several days
ago. Some significance was attach
ed to this, as it is believed by some
of the officers that Beavers has or
will keep in touch with his wife and
children, but this has proved only
conjecture so far.
From some out-of-town sources, a
report had reached far distant points
Saturday night that he had been
captured in Smith county, but when
this news was run down 1t proved
to be only myth as have a num-
Der of other reports of various kinds
about Beavers whereabouts since he
killed Moreton.
Circulars and wire messages have
gone to far distant points and all the
leading cities giving his description
but all without avail or results up to
the present time.

The Old Maids Club, the play CIV
en- by the W. M. S. at Caseyville
was a decided success. The house
was completely full. The audience
was the best we have ever seen re-
garding order, friendliness and sym
pathy.
The W. M. S. desires through this
medium to thank the Davis, and
Godbold sisters and Miss Mamie Lit
tie for their interest and work in the
playE We appreciate it the more as
they were home only for the holi-
days.
We thank those in the community
who had part in the play; and the
several gentlemen who so kindly
relieved us of the ushering, ticket
selling, seating and lighting prob
lens.
We thank those who attended and
made up such splendid audience.
A very nice sum was realized,
which goes into the treasury of the
W. M. S. to be expended through the
various channels of their work.

Brookhaven Bank & Trust Co., In
creases Capital Stock.

The Board of Directors of the
Brookhaven Bank & Trust Co., held
their annual meeting to close up the
years work.
The regular six per cent semi-an-
nual dividend was paid. The surplus
fund was increased from $4,000 to
100000. This makes the earned
surplus the same as the capital stock.
The annual report of the officers
showed that the year had been one
of the most satisfactory in the
Banks history, in fact the record is
remarkable under existing circum-
stances.
Mr.. w. D. Davis, president of the
bank, has so we'll directed the affairs
of the institution as to inspire the
admiration and confidence of asso-
ciates in the banking business in the
State to the extent that at the last
meeting of the Bankers Association
he was elected president for the
State and now fills that highly hon
orable and honored office.
