Minstrel.

In arranging for the minstrel show
the John Edwards Post No. ~, Ameri.
can Legion has secured the services OF
the Joe Kaiser Producing Co., to stage
the attraction. This Company recent
ly produced a minstrel for the Elks in
Hattiesburg, Miss, and have just clos
ed very successful engagement In
Natchez. Joe Kaiser, who is at the
head Of this company has had a num-
Der Of years Of experience in both min
strelry and musical comedy. Some of
the overseas veterans may recall the
"Toot-Sweet" musical that toured
France from December to May follow
ing the signing of the Armistice. This
show was produced under the personal
supervision of Mr.. Kaiser for the S2nd
Division.
Mr.. Kaiser advises that he will per-
sonally supervise the Brookhaven pro-
duction. 1t is a well known fast that
Brookhaven abounds in minstrel talent
and with big time scenery and up-to-
the-minute costumes this promises to
be the best attraction Of its kind ever
staged here.
The first rehearsal will be held Mon
day night. Jan. 18th, at the Legion Club
Rooms.
The local post is endeavoring to fur
nish their club rooms, and as the dues
are not sufficient, the cooperation of
the people of Brookhaven is asked to

WOMEN VOTERS.

Now that the women are registering,
the question is very often asked what
they must do to qualify themselves as
voters, says the Clarion-Ledger.
The same law applies to women as
applies to men.
OF course the primary election of
Mississippi really decides who shall fill
the Offices, and are in reality the only
contests of consequence. 1t is import
ant, then, to know what qualities one
as voter in the primary elections.
Section 64O9 Hemingway Code) says
mo person shall be eligible to partici-
pate in any primary election unless he
be eligible to vote in the election for
which such nomination is to be made,
intends to support the nominees in
which he participates, has been in ac-
cord with the party holding such pri-
maries for the two preceding years.
and is not excluded from such primary
by any regulation Of the state execu-
tive committee of the party holding
such primary"
Now let's see what the qualifications
are for regular elections, for you cannot
vote in the primary unless you are
qualified to vote in the regular elections
Section 6752 Hemingway Code) says
"A person shall not be entitled to vote
at any election who has not been duly
registered four months before offering
to vote and who has not paid all taxes
which have been legally required of
him. and which he has had an opportu-
nifty to pay according to law, for the
two preceding years, on or before the
first of February of the year in which
he offers to vote"
1t is therefore quite evident that If
the women want to vote they must pay
their poll tax, and all other taxes re-
quired Of them, ION or before the first
day of February" and that they must
be registered -four months before the
day of the election at which they offer
to vote"
The Democratic primaries are held in
August so that it will be necessary to
register by May to be qualified to vote
in August.
These qualifications are imperative
and lack of them cannot be excused
by the election officers. If you do not
possess them. it will be the duty of
the election officers to refuse to accept
your ballot.

Nepotism Of ofncern.

A turbulent discussion in the Senate
followed the calling up of Senator Nor
gan's bill which would forbid nepotism
by board Of supervisors. This bill would
make it a felony for supervisor to
vote for his kinsman as close as the
third degree for a county contract a.
bove $25. Senator Shields denounced
this as entirely too drastic. Senator
Cohn intervened between warm exchan-
ges of opinion and suggested that since
it seemed to be the sentiment of the
Senate to pass the bill except that the
punishment was too severe. the author
amend that section to make the penal
ty lighter. This was accepted by Sem
ator Morgan. The amendment would
make the offense of nepotism by a SUI
pervisor a misdemeanor and punishable
as such with the additional penalty of
loss of office on conviction.
After further heated debate. motions
to amend and motions to table or post
pone indefinitely the bill was finally re-
committed to the judiciary committee.
In speaking of this subject Senator
Morgan made severe castigation of
the supervisors in many counties as
serting that they had their hands in
the pockets of the taxpayers, getting
the money and paying their worthless
kin for work they had not done" Sem
ators Noel. Jones and others, Joined the
author of the bill in declaring the ac-
tions of many boards Of supervisors a
crying shame"
The Leader doesn't see why Boards
of Supervisors should be Disseminated
against. Other State and county officers
have the privilege of keeping the nice,
fat salaries in the family, why not Su-
pervisors7

 The challenger left-hander, fur nished the champion, the most inter- esting combat Leonard has had since he turned back Billie Ritchie some years ago.
 Tendler, starting with great confi- dence and skill, carried the fight to the champion. He pummelled Leon ard with stiff lefts to the body and sharp rights to the head and jaw, ard brought blood to the champions nose early. It appeared in the first four rounds that Tender was to have things all his own way.
 Then Leonard steadied himself and began to find a mark. He carried the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds in burst of speed. In the seventh round. his mouth bumped Tenders shoulder and he lost false tooth.
 The eighth found Tender on the aggressive again. After taking hard right to the jaw and another under the heart. he fought Leonard at close quarters and swung a number of hard lefts to the jaw. Leonard's knees sagged and he clinched to save him. self. From then on, the champion took few chances.
