development through athletics also
has become a part of the work in

Louisa has gone along for many
years with tax rate of only Csc for
school purposes. For some time a
deficit has been accommodating from
year to year, until the issue could no
longer be lodged. The city has out
grown all such standards and costs
as formerly prevailed. There is no
economy in dragging behind in ed
ucational matters. No greater inius-
tlce can be done to children than to
withhold educational advantages for
the sake of saving a few dollars in
taxes. 1t is the most expensive
course that can be pursued. Come on.
Let's do our duty by the children.

AUTO WRECKS AND
COMPRESS MAN
New Car Owner in Accident Six
Miles West of BrOOkhaven
Yesterday.

Lige Davis, colored man who for
fifteen years had been general man
! ager of hands and press room at the
Brookhaven Compress, was instantly
killed in an automobile accident a.
bout six miles west of Brookhaven
yesterday evening on the old Jack
son road about seven o'clock. Davis
was 45 years old and leaves a wife
and several children. He owned a
nice property in Brookhaven and was
well-to-do.
About three weeks ago he pur-
chased Ford and it has been sta
ted that he did not fully understand
its operation. The road he was tra-
yelling is one of the best in the coun-
ty and there appeared no cause what
ever for the fatality except losing
control of the machine in some way.
1t turned completely over and the
steering wheel, crumpled to the hub
of 1t, caught the victim in the storn-
ach pinning him down to the extent
that the imprint of his arm and
shoulder to the depth of several in
ches was plainly seen in the damp
earth on the side of the road where
he met death. His companion in the
drive was painfully hurt and was
extricated from the damaged car by
Mr.. o. w. Wooten and his young
grandson thru the supreme efforts Of
both who, living near had heard the
screams of the woman and rendered
all aid possible.
Davis was an industrious negro
and was esteemed for his faithful
service and attitude toward his asso-
ciates Of both races.

OFFICERS:

inent satisfaction during the brief
period he has served on the bench.
He is lawyer of exceptional ability,
a profound scholar, man of calm.
judicial temperament, and members
of the bar, regardless of how their
cases may result are unanimous in
declaring that he is uniformly fair
and impartial, and has made a con-
scientious effort to discharge his du-
ties in accordance with the law and
the evidence.
Chancellor Stricken is native of
Wilkinson county, but for the past
twenty years he has been resident
of Jackson, and it was in this city
that he was admitted to the bar and
commenced the practice of his pro-
fession. He is man of genial, low
able character, has never taken part
in factional politics, and it goes with
out saying that he is going to have
an active and formidable following
in the pending contest.

HIGH TRIBUTE is
PAID JUDGE COOK
Lady Court Stenographer Calls
On Voters to Support Him
in Race.

To the voters of the Southern Su-
preme court District of Mississippi:
This is my first appearance in
print or in the political arena since
the good state of Mississippi con-
ferred upon us women the right to
vote. have no stones to throw at
anyone but l do want to express my
appreciation of the services of Judge
w. H. Cook, who is now on the SUI
preme bench and candidate for re-
election.
L have known Judge Cook in the
official capacity of police Justice of
City of Hattieshurg. have known
him as circuit judge of this district.
l had the pleasure of being fellow
worker in the courts when he was
| district attorney for this district /
! have, with much interest, watched
his course on the supreme bench.
Without going into details as to the
service of this most distinguished cit
izen, desire to register my belief
that no man ever served his people
in all these capacities with more A.
deity, learning, ability and zeal than
has Judge Cook. No just criticisms
can be made against his official acts.
His personal and private life is
without the semblance of cloud or
suspicion. He lives within the bos-
ON of his family and beneath the
teachings and guidance of his
church.
Judge Cook has been supreme
Judge filling -unexpired term. He
has family and children to edu-
cate. have never heard a criticism
Of his judicial life. Every expression
Of him as an official has been col
bred with praise.
Why any person, faction or poll
tician should conceive the notion
that Judge Cook ought to be defeat
ed and another man given his judi
cial ermine, is beyond my ability to
comprehend. 1t may be that being
SO fresh with the right of ballot that
have false conception of what is
right in his case. My innate and ma
tural honesty and fair sense of JUS
tice prompts me to say that to dis
place him in order to make a place |
for some, other, though worthy he
might be, is nothing short of ira
vesty on justice.
In fact, it would be knocking the
brains out of common honesty and
fairness.
believe that the womanhood of
South Mississippi will agree with me
that so good a man, under all the |
circumstances, should be retained in
office. l am writing this especially
to them and calling upon them to
rally to his support.
AS stated, have been a co-offcial
with Judge Cook in some of his pre-
vious services to the people, and
there is no element of real manhood
and honest dealing lacking in him.
am. therefore. hopeful that the
right will prevail and that he will be |
elected. / am no politician, have no |
patience or respect with factionaI |
politics but believe in the election of
the best man for every office. May
I not expect from all the women and
majority of the men a spontaneous
support of Judge Cook?
Very truly,
JENNIE F. SMITH.
Official Court Stenographer, 18th Ju-
,dicial District.

The Leader is informed by H. H.
Brickell, president Yazoo Furniture
Co., that the Baseball League has
offered no money to the church; but
"did want the churches to push the
baseball games for a small part of
the proceeds" and adds "our church
lon't need money this badly and does
lot believe this is the proper way to
get it," The Leader interpreted an
article in the Yazoo Sentinel to mean
that the church had been offered
money by the League and declined it
which it seems by the message re-
ceived from Mr.. Brickell, is just a.
bout correct. In Brookhaven the
principle of giving as the Lord has
prospered" or thru tithing has been
stressed until the churches flourish
as they never have before thru this
means. AS Mr.. Brickell suggests is
the case in Yazoo gifts are not ta-
booed, however.
