Last night at a meeting of the
City Council at which Mr.. R. S. Pur-
ser. superintendent of the Light and
Water Plant and Mr.. H. A. Mentz,
consulting engineer of the Kramer
Engineering Co., were present, sew
eral bids were opened on drilling
wells and furnishing pumps and af-
ter close comparison and careful con-
sideration the contract was awarded
the Layne & Bowler Co., Of Mem
phis, Tenn, for the construction of

nish their own type of centrifugal
deep well pump. The well will be
drilled by the Gray Artesian Well
Co., of Pensacola, Fla, under the di-
rection of the Layne & Bowler Co.,
making modern gravel wall well.
This water plant is to be INSTALL

to quality and quantity, backed up
by a guarantee maintenance bond.

How often red handed crime goes

How often red handed. crime goes
unwhipped of justice when every
body thought it guilty-except the
jury.
Sometimes a man is loud in pro-
testations for law enforcement, but
when placed upon jury, does the
opposite.
The judge reminded the jury that
the weak citizen needed to straight
en- his backbone, and recalled the
weakness of human nature and frail-
ties of the race, in urging that no
law be enforced in i'll will because of
personal dislike, and that no one
be shielded through fear.
Lincoln county was comparatively
free of great crimes. No one, white
or black, has filled bloody grave
since the last term of court.
Judge Miller then mentioned the
crime Of rape, stating that he rarely
held court without finding such a
case before him, and usually more
whites than blacks were charged
with it. 1t was crime more serious
than murder to protect such a cri-
minal. All that the court can do is
to give fair trial-it is the, jury's

responsibility to give the verdict.
There have been some shooting af-
trays in the county-perhaps inves-
tigation will show that indictments
for assault and battery with intent to
kill and murder, should be returned.
"Have in mind your oath and OBJ
legation to represent the law-abiding
people of the country" the jury was
admonished.
"a crime that seems to be COM
mitted more often than formerly is
seduction. Nearly always there is
such case in court. 1t is the duty
of the jury to investigate and bring
indictments,
One Of the most hateful things in
the Southlandois the cohabitation of
white men with negro women. For
a white man to rear two families in
any community ought to be not only
fineable he. should be hanged by
law. Those who are neither white
nor black can't be admitted into the
white circle and don't want to min
gle with the black-this is the class
in which are found most of the con-
cubines. If it were not for the low
principled white man this class would
not exist. You know tive all
know it. We lack the courage, the
manhood to report it. Let's do, our
duty though the heavens fall Let
man bear contumely ridicule and
the shafts of criticism-and stand

There are certain misdemeanors

every territory and state there has
been a law against gambling-it is
almost as old law as that against
murder. If not evil, why law max,

1t is wrong to get something for
nothing g-hurtful and demoralizing.
II indictments were returned against
all the gamblers in town, the court

COURT OPENS FALL
SESSION MONDAY
Judge Miller Delivers FOrcefuI
Charge-POlitical Speeches
Are Made.

The opening of the fall term of
Circuit Court, whether on account of
cotton picking, hot weather, or the
impending election, failed to draw as
large an attendance as usual. How
ever, most of the seats were filled for
the business session of court.
At request Of Judge D. M. Miller,
Rev. l. H. Anding opened the court
with prayer.
In his impressive charge to the
grand jury, Judge Miller said in part
that the county is, no better than
the individual citizen, and that when
we fail to function as citizens, crime
goes unpunished. Judge, jury and
district attorney are powerless when
1t is not in the hearts Of the citizens
to do their duty.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S TOOTH
BRUSH.
BY Howard B. CARTS

ooh, dear me! Mustn't go off
without that! l quite forgot about
it," exclaimed Uncle Wiggily one
morning. He had started down
the path from the front door of
his hollow stump bungalow, but
came hurrying back.
whats the matter now" asked
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, who was
just giving the door mat its break
fast. "Is the Fuzzy Fox or the
Woozie Wolf chasing you so early
in the morning."
Nothing like that" answered
Uncle Wiggily. with a twinkle of
his pink nose. "But I forgot to
clean my teeth. And 1t would
never do to go adventuring, or to
go to the store for you, Nurse
Jane, without cleaning my teeth.
I don't see how I came to forget
them"
ut isn't like you," said the
muskrat lady housekeeper. But
wait a minute. I'm in a hurry to
have you go to the store for me
and get me the sugar for the cake
I'm going to bake. Won't 1t do

looking for an adventure and he
also intended to 20 to the store
for Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy,. his
muskrat lady housekeeper.
Pretty soon the bunny saw a
pool Of water in a green meadow.
He thought he would clean his
teeth there, but. on looking at the
water, he saw it was muddy.
9TH wait until l come to a
cleaner puddle" said Uncle Wig
gily to himself, hopping along.
Soon he was in the woods. where
the green leaves were just begin
ming to swell out on the trees, with
tiny violets just peeping up to see
il the sun would warm their little
blue noses.
Here / shall find a clear pool of
water in which to clean my teeth"
thought the bunny gentleman. He
looked around amid the trees Of
the forest, and soon he saw what
he wanted. Taking out his tooth
brush, the rabbit wet 1t In the
water, sprinkling a little powder
on it and began to clean his teeth
At once his mouth was filled
with clean. soapy foam, just as
yours is if you use that kind Of
powder or paste; and l hope you
do.
"Ah, there is nothing like clean
| ing ones teeth to make one feel
fine!" laughed the bunny, brush
| ing away harder than ever, and he
was about to finish when q grillery
growlery voice was heard, and the
Bob Cat stuck his head out from
behind a tree and cried:
What in the world are you do
ing?"
Cleaning my teeth" politely
answered Uncle Wiggily.
UNI" grunted the Bob Cat.
Now it's your turn to ask me
what I am going to do"
We'll, what are you going to
do?" asked the bunny gentleman,
even more politely. 81 hope you
are going to clean your teeth" he
added. ut is very sanitary and
needful."
"Clean my teeth! Oh, no!
guess l am mott" howled the Bob
Cat. I'm going to nibble your
ears! That's what I'm going to
do! Nibble your ears!"
He made a jump toward the
bunny gentleman, but brave Uncle
Wiggily cried:
mot before you clean your
teeth! You shant nibble my ears
before you clean your teeth. And
as you haven't any brush or pow
der I'll take mine and give it to
YOU"
Then, quickly dipping the brush
in water again, Uncle Wiggily
sprinkled more soapy powder on
it, and rushed at the Bob Cat. But
instead of brushing the Bob Cats
teeth Uncle Wiggily rubbed the
tooth powder in the bad chaps
eyes, making lot Of soapy suds
in them.
"Oh, WOW! Oh, WOW! My eyes!
How they smart! I can't see you'll"
howled the Bob Cat.
I'm glad of it," laughed Uncle
Wiggily. Now I can hop safely
away!" And he did, while the
Bob Cat was trying to wash the
soap out of his eyes. Then Uncle
Wiggily bought himself new
tooth brush and went to the store
for Nurse Jane, and all was we'll.
And If the chimney doesn't bend
over backward and blow smoke in
the face of the clock until 1t
sneezes its hands off, I'll tell you

Bill Tildcn Covers the Ground
Completely.


THE Art OF Lawn Tennis" by william
I. Tilden. George II, Doran Coz
William Tilden, the worlds
champion tennis player. has revised
his book "The Art of Lawn Tennis
with great consideration for the
coming generation in tennis. The
people who forged ahead in the
startling events of last years tour
nament will be reintroduced to
tennis lovers with greater defer
ence and understanding. This edi-
ton will stand as a record for 1922,
Spring brings new interest in
tennis. The author has added
chapters on women in lawn tennis
and has much TO say of their per-
of play. Mr.. Tilden has great faith
in the future of America in tennis
and his knowledge of the technique
of the youngsters has led him to
devote a good part of the revised
book to their methods Of play.
Mr.. Tilden's book has already
been listed as the best book ever
written on the game and has been
recommended by the American
Lawn Tennis association. In its
revised form 1t will remain the
standard tennis record for the COM
ing season. The players who stood
out in the tournament last year
have a special chapter to them
selves.
For an average person with ar
interest in tennis, there is special
appeal in the comments that Mr.
Tilden makes on the play and the
personality of the individual play
ers. He explains the startling pop.
ularity of r. Norris Williams, and
rates him at his best, as the great
est tennis player the world has ever
seen. For the youngsters such as
Garland and Richards. Tilden holds
the best possible future.

THEY HOPE 1T WILL PAY.

Attacking "the increasing decoetage both up
ward and downward" Of woman's dress silk pro-
ducers of France suddenly awaken to their duty to
champion feminine morals. OF course they hope to
make it pay.
In the early days of this country cotton was
more expensive than Wool and little clothing was
worn made of cotton. But more and more cotton
was raised. and there a year when the cotton
mills faced crisis Cotton cheap and there
was SO little demand for the cloth, that the mills
were threatened with ruin. So they hit upon the
idea of bolstering up the market for their product
by Inducing the Chinese to increase their shirts
couple of inches.
There is nothing atruistic about the French silk
producers concern for the ladies' morals.
