FOR MOONSHINER
1zississippi High Court Denies Appeal
OF Convicted slayer OF Proha-
bition officer.

Jackson. Miss, Feb. 1S. - The Su.
preme. court today affirmed the actiof

imposing the death sentence on Nancy
Kelly. "a white man who was convicted
Of murder and sentenced to be hanged
several weeks ago. He appealed the
case.
March gath is fixed as the date of ex-
ecution.
Kelly was one of party of alleged
moonshiners operating in a remote cor
ner of Greene county. Two officers
went to locate and arrest the opera
tors and destroy their still. but were
shot down. The men killed were Law
renee Durham, marshal of Richton and
Jake Green, former sheriff of Greene
county and at the. time of the killing
prohibition officer for his county.
About noon april, 1921 the officers
rode up on the moonshiners and order
ed them to throw up their hands. In
stead they began to shoot. Henry Bond
sent bullet through Greene's head,
and was himself shot through the lung.
He finally recovered, was tried and
convicted of murder and is in the Kinds
county jail awaiting the action of the
Supreme Court.
In the battle Nancy Kelly killed
Marshal Durham, shooting him four
times with an automatic shotgun after
he had been shot down by Bond.
Kelly is also in the Kinds county Jail
and has been advised of the decision
Of the Supreme Court. The two men
were sent to Jackson for safekeeping
mob violence being feared.
Two other alleged moonshiners were
implicated in the killing, but John Ad-
ans turned states evidence at the trial
Of Bond and Kelly, and is yet to be
tried for his part in the battle. The
other, man named Morris, did no
shooting, it was said, but was sent to
the penitentiary for manufacturing IL
puor.

Anent Legislative investigation in Rus
sell Case.


Leaders in the legislature of the in
vestigation movement assert the people
of the state expect the Legislature to
take cognizance of the charges and
make a searching inquiry into the whole
unsavory affair.
I'VE cannot face the folks at home" {"
one of the inquiry advocate leaders said
unless we make an investigation and
establish the truth or falsity of the
charges against the governor of the
state. 1t is Unpleasant to dig into such
affairs but we should not shirk the du-
ty no matter how. distasteful it may
be. The fair name of the state is at
stake, and we should make a searching
inquiry without any whitewash."
Those Of the anti Russell faction who
are opposing an investigation declare it
would be a waste Of time, money and
energy to appoint an investigating
committee. ITO begin WITH" one Of the
leaders. Of that group said, "the offense
with which Russell is charged, accord
ing to Miss Birkhead's own statement.
occurred before he became governor, and
there is grave legal doubt If he could be
impeached for any act done before he
assumed the duties Of his present Of

City's leading lawyers:-
That woman is member Of the
law firm of Campbell & Campbell, va
zoo City attorneys who are representing
Miss Frances G. Birkhead in her suit

TONERS. She confines her efforts largely
to the chancery court and Chancellor v.

In a sermon on "The City
Davidson, pastor of the Congrega-
tional church, spoke as follows
last Sunday:
Somebody has said that God
made the country and that man
made the city. I wonder IL this
is true. I wonder if there is not
a Power working in the life of the
7 city as well as of the country,
making for beauty and progress
and human uplift.
This saying owes its origin,
doubtless. to the old conception
that God and man, or nature and
man, are antitheses. Even such a
, seer as that fascinating writer,
James Oliver Curwood, seems to
forget. in his enthusiasm for the
woods and the wild things, that
nature is not part of the life of
Z the world-that part that finds ex-
( preston in green leaves and messy
Y banks and in the furry and feath-
cred denizens of the forest, That
is nature, but that is not all of it.
There is vastly more than that.
Why should we call the birds
nest and the rabbits burrow and
the beavers dam and the path
which the wild things make as
they scurry through the woods,
nature; and call the nests which
the human family constructs and
the roads of steel and cement and
gravel which it makes and the
great engineering feats which it
accomplishes the antithesis of ma
ture? Is not this strangely one
sided view? Would it not be near
err the truth to affirm that the life
Of the world is one and that man
is not the antithesis of what we
call nature. but that he is rather
nature at its highest and hottest
and best?
While the woods and the wild
things have wonderful lure for
us; while what we call nature is
coHtinually calling us, calling us,
WV the return of the miracle of
spring,-it seems to me that we
should not be SO short-sighted as
to suppose that we shall find our
life by getting back to nature. as
some philosophers have held. but
rather by recognizing that the
Power that finds expression in the
marvellous beauty of flower and
leaf is the very same as that, with
in the human heart, which en-
ables us to appreciate and inter-
pref that beauty; in other words
that there is only one God and
only one universe; that God is in
nature, but that He is also in hui
man nature; that He is in the life
