ON EVE Of
SAILING REFUSES TO
ENTERTAIN FIGHT
Told Flock of Promoters he
Was Bound to Europe for
Pleasure Trip, No Scrap.

NEW YORK. Feb. 81. y. S.)-l
A rush of gold seekers had nothing on
the flock of fighting promoters who
besieged Johnny Kilbane at his hotel
when the featherweight champion of
the world arrived here preparatory to
sailing for ireland.
why, gentlemen said the champ,
II am not here to talk fight. I came
to New York to book passage for my
self and a party of friends for Eu-
rope"
If someone had clouted each pro-
moter on the head with a hammer it
would have had no more effect than
the champions assertion. They gaped
at him, each waiting for the other to
begin the questioning. They saw Wis
ions of a bankroll which would culmi-
nate with a championship bout flying
past them and some foreign sports
man pulling it down. Not only this,
but s~upposing Johnny should lose his
title on the other side.
VIII Visit ireland.
Kilbane relieved the situation some
what when he explained that he was
going abroad merely to visit and
! would not leave these United States
D right away.
IT have always wanted to visit Ire
! land" said Kilbane. THAT is my real
! objective abroad, although I shall
4 spend some time in London and Paris
} II have been champion a long time
4 now, but I think l showed in my re-
\ Lcent defeat of Danny Frush that l cal
still go a bit. However. / don't thinl
! that anyone will find serious faul
. with me for not pausing to fight herr
Il on my way to Europe.
4i "Wnl Enjoy Myself
y IT want to go over as champion, ant
. nothing will deter me from doing this
4 have not all the money in the worl'
! but have enough for the immediate
2 needs of myself and family and pro
! pose to enjoy myself for a while.
\ II shall give exhibitions of boxini
4 in England and France, but shall no
. engage in a championship match
= That Is, unless some unusual offe
! should be made that l could not affor
\ to refuse"
Z This last sentence caused the boy
] to again prick up their ears, and whe
Z the interview with Johnny was at a
. end they were not satisfied that tn
\ champion was going to Europe merel
4 for a pleasure trip.
Kilbane looks in excellent condition
Z He weighs about 100 pounds and coul
4 get down. to the featherweight linn
! easily If he cared to train a bit. H
Z will be the second worlds champio
! boxer to invade Europe from TIL
4country this winter. Johnny Buff
i the bantamweight king, is now on h
! way to England.

the request Of many women that
their maiden names be used in the
making out of passports.
But the women have not surren-
dered. Persistent efforts are still be-
ing made by q large number of wom-
en-artists, au~thoresses, actresses
and others-to have the state de-
partment in issuing passports, re2og-
nize "the legal right of married
women to travel out of this country
under their Christian or family
name.
Several test cases within the last
month have effected no change in
the departments attitude.
Pen Name Barred.
A typical case was that of a news
paper woman, affiliated with the
Lucy stone League, who applied for
a passport under her maiden name.
which Is also her pen name. She in
sisted that it was her legal and only
name. The state department refus-
cd to deviate from the long establish
ed custom, however, The young
woman protested vigorously when
the passport was presented to her
by the department official, saying
that her W name was descriptive
of her person and personality" and
that she had every legal right to use
1t as she saw fit. She explained that
she had never used her husbands
name and is not known by that
name.
The question at bar" q state
ment by the women's league says
lis not the number of kinks it may
tie in social customs and usages, but
the strength of legal right each indi-
vidual has in the name he or she
bears"

fight, and the state department is

With Mr.. Bryan telling the past
and Conan Doyle telling the future,
looks like any fool ought to know the
present. Henry Ford doesn't share
his friend Bryan's objection to evo-
luton. He knows that the grand
father of the flivver was wheel
barrow.
Speaking of diplomats, diplomat
is man who on getting home late
at night sneaks in bed backwards so
that if his wife sees him she will
think he is just getting up.
1t seems as though the plan is now
for America to lend Germay billion
dollars to pay the Allies to pay A
merica to buy German goods, to make
Germany rich enough to pay her
debts.
We have just read where bandit
held up two policemen; but, fortu-
nately, they both got away.
1t is hard these days to support a
seal-skin wife on musk-rat salary.
Of everything that can happen,
when man is sleeping on the floor,
he is not afraid of falling out of bed.
If we want prosperity revival, we
must first revive the farmer
Now that the election has come
and gone, let us all lay animosities
aside If there have been any, and all
work for the cause of good govern
ment. To my mind, the most pre-
cicus attribute man can acquire is
reputation for good character, relia-
bility and dependability. OF such a
man it is said his word is as good as
&c To IL L. -
technality, of no advantage, but
wants always to do the right thing
and is ready to do it at personal
sacrifice. Such man makes a fine
citizen, desirable neighbor and a
trusted public official Such a char
acter is the finest flower of civiliza-
ton. Let us hope such are the men
we have recently elected.
Woman suffrage - oh, woman
suffrage - what a great thing it is.
For instance, my other side Of the
house (as Crab Apple would say)
cast her first vote Tuesday and when
she got back from the polls, she told
me what nice and generous heart
ed people those men were at John
son Grove. She said she, offered to
pay them after she had voted and
that they told her she did not owe
them a cent. No doubt she will be-
lieve as long as she lives that it was
a special favor conferred upon her
through my popularity.
Lord, help us to hold what ground
you have given us and If an earth
quake swallows the ground help us
to fall in gold mine.

STATE REGULATIONS AS TO
CHARITY HOSPITAL PATIENTS
Governing Board of King 5 Daugh-
tiers Institutions Calls Atten-
ton to Law and Penalty.

To the Doctors and General Public of
Lincoln and adjoining counties:
We wish to call your attention to
the law governing the admission of
charity patients to all hospitals sup
ported in whole or in part by the
State. as follows:-
only poor and needy persons to
be admitted to charity hospitals: -
Only poor and needy persons shall
be admitted as charity patients for
medical or curgica1 treatment into
any charity hospital supported in
whole or in part of by the state;
and every person who shall apply to
any such hospital for charity treat
ment, either for himself or mem
Der of his family, shall before such
person be admitted as "a patient
therein, produce and file with the SUI
perintendent. or other person in
charge of such hospital, a certifi-
cate signed by himself and three 9TH
er persons, citizens of the county of
his residence or domicile, one of
whom shall be practising physician
stating the name and postoffice ad-
dress of the applicant, and that he
is poor and needy, and is unable. to
pay the cost of the medical or sur
gical treatment required by the per-
son to be admitted into such hospit-
al as a patient, which certificate
shall be kept as record of the hos
pital. Provided, however, that in
cases of emergency where imme-
date surgical or medical treatment
is necessary, the superintendent or
other person in charge of such hos
pital may admit any person as a pa
tient without the certificate above re-
quired being first produced and filed |;
but all such cases shall be reported
to the board of trustees at it's next
meeting who shall inquire into the
matter, and If the person so admit
ted without certificate be not poor
and needy, and able to pay for the
treatment, then the board of trus-
tees shall make such charge for the
treatment as may be reasonable and
collect the amount thereof from such
patient or other person who may be
liable therefor. Any person or per-
sons knowingly making a false rec
commendation of the patient to be
admitted in said hospital shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor.
PENALTY FOR VIOLATION OF
THIS LAW M
Sec 2. If any persons shall by
means Of any false or fraudulent GER
tincate procure himself Or any mem
Der of his family to be admitted as a
patient into any such hospital, or If
the superintendent or other person
in charge of any such hospital shall,
except in cases of emergency above
provided for, knowingly admit any
person as a patient into such hospital
who is not entitled to be treated as
a patient therein, he shall be guilty
of misdemeanor, and upon convict
ion thereof shall be fined in any sum
not exceeding one hundred dollars. -
Since the Kings Daughters Hos
pital of Brookhaven is receiving
some support from the State, it be-
comes necessary for us to abide
strictly by the law, and in future
no patient can be admitted as char
ity unless proper credentials can be
furnished to the Superintendent.
Very respectfully,
Hospital Board.

JUDGES REPORT ON IAN.
To the Grand Jury Of Lincoln
County:

To the Grand Jury of Lincoln
County:
Gentlemen
have carefully examined the con-
dition of the County Jail as required
by law and herewith submit my re-
port to your honorable body
The lower part or first floor of the
Jail building is used by the county
in storing cement and general sup
plies used In the building OF roads.
1T presents most unsightly cOndit-
ion and cannot be sanitary as used.
Only a part of the second floor is
used for the confning OF prisoners.
This floor is in fairly good condit<
ion, perhaps about as good as could
be expected In an old dilapidated
building. The upper floor where pris-
oners are never placed and where
they could not be safely confined is
full of dirt and dust. The two large
doors leading into the Jail on first
floor cannot be closed and stand op-
en- practically all the time.
The court house is in the best
condition we ever saw it, and the
sheriff and Board cannot be too
strongly commended for the very
much needed improvements which
they have seen Mt to make. It is
clean, sanitary and comfortable.
Respectfully submitted,
p. NJ. Miller. Judge.

The Legislature of Mississippi in
their 1922 session passed House Bill
No. 500 Chapter 225 which said law
requires the Boards of Supervisors
and the various municipalities of the
State to prepare and make what is
known as the Budget System.
This system requires the Board of
Supervisors to publish a statement
Of the finances of the county expend-
ed during the last year in each Fund
and also requires the Board to nx
budget and state what the expen-
ditures shall be for the next ensu-
ing year in each fund. In other
words give an itemized statement of
the various funds of the county the
money received in each fund, from
what source it comes and the expen-
ditures the Board expects to make
during the coming year. The fiscal
year of the County ends October /.
1922 and it will be necessary to get
all allowances ETC., made by the
Board at-the September 1922 meet
ing on the Ledgers to complete this
years business. In other words the
Budget for the year 1928 cannot be
made until we have the figures and
allowances of this meeting of the
Board included in order that we may
comply with the Law.
The Board of Supervisors will
meet or will adjourn over to Sept.
goth, and on that date we will have
all Of the data in and will make and
declare the budget for next year and
will publish in the newspapers of the
County this budget which will show
the expenditures from October 1st,
1921, to October 1st, 1922 also the
receipts and sources of same for
that period OF time.
We will also show the expendi-
lures to be made in the various
funds for the ensuing twelve months
that is from October 1st 1922 to Oc-
tober list, 1928. In other words this
budget will give full Audit of the
past years business and the amounts
in each fund that will be spent for
the year 1922-1923.
If there is any special information
the Grand Jury or any private cit
izen may want will cheerfully fur
nish same with reference to any part
of the County's business.

$3.50 for debt. Mr.. Price has never

tion which was called to its atten-
