Throwing That
Monkey Wrench

Since the inquiry in last weeks
times as to ".Who Threw That Mon
key Wrench ?" it transpires that there
is possibility of that act having
been committed by one whose home is
right here in Pennington. He is
known to some as Congressman
Rhodes imam Friday, though there
is doubt as to whether our Con-
gresham would acknowledge the
truthfulness of such designation.
Anyway there is a report that this
person was "peeved" that Raymond
Pepin had been recommended and ap-
pointed as one of the mail carriers
for Pennington. The reason for such
opposition is not clear, unless it was
on account of Raymond's politics not
suiting this "fxer". In fact it has
been stated that such opposition was
aroused wholly on account Of politics.
If it is possible to arouse such op-
position, then why prate longer of
civil service? Of course no Demo-
cratic postmasters are being appoint
ed under the present administration.
Nor is such failure arousing any crit
icism, even though they are supposed
to be under civil service provisions al
so. But when politics is injected in
to the working force of the postoffice,
then it would appear there is no long
er need for so-called civil service in
that department.
Raymond Pepin passed the best civil
service examination of all those who
took the recent test for the two places
offered here. Also he is an excellent
young man against whom no real
fault can be urged, other than thar
"he is a Democrat" AS to that we
are unable to say. He may be Dem
ocrat. We do not know. But is that
enough to knock civil service out of
commission? We shall see.

Assessors Returns
for This Year Taxes

Assessor F. NJ. Horton has complet-
ed his returns on which the taxes for
the present year will be based. While
his returns are subject to change,
either to increase or decrease, by both
the County and State Boards of
Equalization, the probability is that
the returns he has made will remain
practically intact, in which case the
taxes for the present year will be
about the same as for 1921. His re-
turns are as follows:

III. Mcdowell on
Trial for Murder

The case of Henry Mcdowell,
charged with the murder of Thomas
rockingham in the Y. M. C. A. build
ing in Flat River on Jan. 10th, last,
came up for hearing Wednesday in
the circuit court. B. H. Marbury and
Philip Cole appeared for the defense,
while Prosecuting Attorney Golfer is
assisted by Brookshire, Kinder and
jackson.
Scores of witnesses and spectators
from the Lead Belt have been in at
tendance, and there is marked de-
gree of interest in the outcome of the
case. The taking of evidence was
completed yesterday afternoon, and
preparing and reading of instructions
and final pleadings occupied the re-
maindcr of the afternoon, so that the
case was given into the hands of the
jury just before adjournment for the
day.

Hereford Cattle
Picking Up

This week ]. C. Ballard shipped a
yearling Polled bull to E. Langdon, at
Hornersville, NO., which is in the ex-
treme south part of the State. The
sale was made by mail, and Mr.. Bal
lard secured his own price for the an
imal. Ed. Turley this week also
shipped short yearling bull to
Morris Jones, of north of Bonne Terre.
Both of these animals are we'll bred.
and will be valuable property for the
new owners.
The Times is pleased to hear Of
these deals, as it is an indication of
the revival of the cattle business in
St. Francois county, which now ranks
fourth in the State in the production
Of pure bred Herefords.
