the train daily for school, and, too, IL
is certain fact that we receive a
sum in compensation from the United
States Government for our physical
injuries that we received while in the
discharge Of our duties as American
soldiers. This compensation was a.
warded us after being examined by
the most learned men of the medical
profession. These gentlemen were the
sole judges in our cases, and If we are
not entitled to this compensation, un-
der the federal law, they are solely
to blame, and not US.
1t is true that we are Seen at the
village Of Carlisle, Mississippi FREE
quently. Why? Because this village
is near our homes and our postoffice
is located therein. Therefore, under
these facts that are given you will
now ask this question. Haven't we
the moral right to file and answer 10
this dirty attack upon our lives and
honor? ! trust that the public will
answer in the affirmative.
If the writer Of this article wao has
declared himself in bold terms "a citi-

devolves upon him after knowing that
the allegations of his article are true

enlightened mode Of procedure in such

"REDRESS FOR GRIEvOUS
WRONG"

Last weeks publication Of the Port
Gibson Reyeillc contained an a'ticle
entitled "Commends Officers. The
foregoing part of this article meets
heartily with my approval, and con-
tains statements that are worthy Of
the most careful consideration Of the
public. This article dwells upon the
conduct and life of officials while in
tae discharge of their duties, and
when the public has elected and de-
clared one to be their public servant,
and this public servant has discharg-
ed his official duties well, amicable,
and honorable, then it devolyes upon
the public to offer words of praise
and comfort unto him when the hour
Of peril and dependency has arrived.

woman in this great commonwealth
Of ours who is more ready to offer
words of praise and coincidence to he
who is servant of the people than /.

NOT FAR BEHIND.
claiborne's Cotton Crop Close on
Heels Of 1921 Yield.


Despite the belief that the cotton
crop this year is exceedingly short.
reports 70 October 18th show that il
was only about 600 bales behind last
year on that date.
According 70 NJ. A. Fife's figures,
gathered from the various gins Of the
county, the total number Of bales
ginned TO Oct. 18th was 1928, COM
pared with 1850 to the same date in
1921, a decrease Of 623 bales.
1t is O well known fact, however,
that the crop this year is earlier than
that Of last season, and this accounts
IN large measure for the good show
ing made to date. But the crop is
larger than is generally believed.
Some disheartened planters have been
heard to declare that the yield would
not exceed 2500 bales, figures which
were passed by nearly 500 practically
two weeks ago, We feel safe in stat
ing that we may easily count on a
crop Of 1000 bales. The Port Gibson
Oil Works Gin, which probably does
more ginning than any Of the other
gins Of the county, has already reach
ed 1900 bales and expects 70 have a.
bout 200 more. Last season the total
number Of bales ginned there was a.
bout 1000.
With the increase ia price Of cotton
this year, which is from two to six
cents, the present crop will be worth
approximately the same as the crop Of
1921.

Oldti11le Liner
Beats Larger,
Newer Rivals
27-Year-Old St, Paul Makes
Port Ahead of Reliance
and George Washington,
Though Sailing Later
All Three Under US. Flag
Captain Lewis Pleased Be-
cause Winner Was Built
in an American Shipyard

The old American liner St. Paul,
which was built by the Cramps in Phil
ade!phia twenty-seven years ago and
has seen more continuous service than
any other vessel of her age, came to port
Yesterday from Southampton, beating
the new Reliance of the United Ameri-
can Lines, which left the British port
seven hours ahead of her. The ST. Paul
came TO port in the forenoon, having
passed the Reliance at sea, the latter
vessel docking late yesterday aftcrn DON.
The st. Paul also beat to port the
steamship George Washington, the
crack passenger carrier of the United
States Lines, which left SOUTHAMPTON
a day ahead of her and called at Cher
bourg for Continental passengers. The
Washington arrived at Sandy Hook
last night at s:17 o'clock and will dock
this morning.
Unusual interest was manifested in
the run across the Atlantic as all three
vessels operate under the American
flag.
Captain II. r. Lewis, master of the
st. Paul, and his officers expressed
qualification over the fast run of the
veteran liner because she outdistanced
two much larger vessels which were
built abroad
The passengers, too, were pleased at
the showing of the old American liner,
as she is one-cabin vessel with a
lower minimum passenger rate than
the Washington and the Reliance,
which carry first, second and third
class travellers. The fact that they
paid less for their passage and came
over in quicker time pleased them
greatly.
According to Captain Lewis, the St.
Paul, which is a coal burner with re-
clprocating engines, was not pushed
and she is still capable, according to
the American Line officials, of making
eighteen knots an hour.
Among the St. Pauls passengers
we're four sisters of the Franciscan
Order who have been studying medi-
cine in Hamburg and have returned to
the convent and hospital of the order
in Allegany, N. Y.
Among the saloon passengers on the
Moeller, Archbishop of Cincinnati;
Princess Poniatowska, who was met
down the bay by her husband, Prince
Andre Poniatowska; and Professor
Carl Mathes, blind court pianist, who
comes here for a concert tour. An
other traveller on the Reliance was
Richard Munez, a local fur importer,
who went to Russia to make purchases
for his business here. Ee said his stay
of five days in Moscow cost him 49,
100000 rubles. This sum when trans
lated into English, he said, is, how
ever. not cXorbitant.
The steamship Acropolis arrived yes
terday from Constantinople and the
Piraeus with sixteen saloon, 141 second
and 30S steerage passengers.
Among the saloon passengers were
Harriet and Constantine Georgako-
polom, of Oakfeld, N Y, seven and
nine years old, respectively. who went
to Greece year ago with their

Tips Went Wrong,
Dupes Out of Luck
Is Nathan Defense
Wall St. Crooks Did Me Up
Says Ex-Trader, Brought
Back to Face Charges of
Theft Involving 100000

lsldore Nathan, arrested in Albany
N. Y, yesterday on a charge of grand
larceny involving about 100000, was
returned last night in charge Of De-
tective Cunnif of police headquarters
and lodged in the Tombs prison for
arrangement to-day.
The capture took place after radio
messages had been dispatched by the
New York police to ships at sea and
the aid of Scotland Yard had been in
voked to capture the man if he at
tempted to land from any one Of seven
teen steamships now in transit.
They've got me-" Nathan said, when
ne appeared at the Tombs. "All my
tips went wrong and the Wall Street
crooks did me up. l don't see how ]
can be held for grand larceny. The
people who gave me money told me
to speculate with it. l guessed wrong
and they're out of luck"
After Nathan disappeared two weeks
ago search was begun for him which
became worldwide. Detective Cunniff
brought back with him $1,000 worth of
railway securities, bonds and cash
which were taken from the fugitive
when he was arrested.
The indictment against Nathan was
obtained as result of stock swindles
ne is supposed to have perpetrated as
we'll as alleged fraudulent jewelry
transactions He is sixty eight years
old and was employed at one time in
the Brooklyn Navy Yard as repairer
of chronometers. While holding this
position he made the acquaintance of
many of the workers in the yard as
well as many railroad employees. Ac-
cording to the police, he furnished
these friends with inside tips on the
stock market, taking their money to
invest for them, and he is supposed
at one time to have had trading &C
count with Hirsch, Lilienthal & Co.,
Of 165 Broadway, amounting to $4,000
Two weeks ago he closed out this &C
count, which had dwindled to $23S.
Nathan's next move, the police say,
was to visit various East Side jew
elers, representing himself sales
man, where he obtained about $500
worth of jewelry on account 1t was
just after this that he disappeared
Nathan formerly had lived in SIS a
month fiat at 1872 West Sixty-second
Street, but during the time Of his
stock transactions acquired luxuri-

a detective sought him at his home
Nathan's wife is said to have replied
that her husband had gone to Ger

Eighteenth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution and the national prohibit.
ton act apply to American ships or

hearing grows out of an effort or
the part of the Department of Justice
to see that everybody concerned in the
question here involved has an oppor.
tunity to present his views.
There will be present representa-
tives of the Shipping Board and the

whether the Eighteenth Amendment
and the national prohibition act apply
to American ships when on the high
seas and, further, whether within the

purposes is prohibited on foreign yes
