"Twas a Famous victoree"-That Lib
erty Football Game.

The Panther" victory at Liberty yes
.terday over the Liberty Aggies was not
only a triumph for Coach Nevips foot
ballers, but great personal victory for
one "Tadpole" Smith. Sitting all the re-
ports of that famous Friday fracas
down to the simple facts, it appears
that the big Aggie center started
something" with the midget "Tadpole"
that he, with the assistance of the en-
tire Aggie eleven, couldn't very well
finish. 1t is gratifying to chronicle the
fact that Principal Stout condemned
the hasty action of the Aggie players
and that several of the Liberty players
came over to the Panther dressing room
after the game and apologized for their
conduct.
The actual score was to 6 in favor
of the tPanthers", but Referee Hobbs
had no other recourse than to make the
official score 1 to 0 in the face of the
attitude of the Liberty boys.
1t was in the third quarter that the
rumpus started on the playing field,
which quickly spread to the sidelines.
Il had repeatedly warned the Lib
erty center" stated Referee Hobbs this
morning, ''but it seemed to have no ef-
feet. He was determined to have his
scrap-and he had it. But he showed
poor judgment in picking "Tadpole"
With McComb beating the Wesson
Aggies to 0, the standing between
McComb and Brookhaven is still a tie,
with the Thanksgiving game the one to
decide the championship of Southwes-
tern Mississippi conference.

WOMAN SENATOR
ALLOWED HER SEAT
Mrs. FELTON,, Of Georgia, Takes Oath Of
Office AS Member Of United
states Senate.

washington, Nov. 21. - Mrs. w. H
FELTON,. Of Georgia, took the oath of of
fee today as the first woman United
States Senator. 1T was true that her
term probably will be only for day
but. the ceremony crowned with success
the efforts the S7-year old lady had
made to- blaze the path for American
wopanhood" in the Senate and it was
indicated she would be content to step
aside tomorrow in favor of Walter F.
George, who was elected Nov. Z, as her
successor to fill the unexpired term of
the late Senator Tom Watson. 1t was
to the vacancy caused by his death
that Mrs. FELTON, was appointed last
September to serve until the November
elections.
The seating of Mrs. FELTON, attracted
a crowd to the Senate, which rivaled
that which had greeted the President
a short time previous in the House
where he addressed joint Congress.
And she was showered with congra-
tulations.
When she was directed to proceed to
the rostrum for the administering of the
oath of office she broke into smile

VICTORY FOR SCHOOLS
WON BY SUPT. BOND
Money for various Counties VIII BE
Available Despite Recent decision
of Supreme Court.

The State Department of Education
won a clear cut victory in the Kinds
county circuit court when Judge w. H.
Potter sustained a writ of mandamus
to compel State Auditor w. j. Miller
to issue warrants for the unexpended
balance of the common school fund for
1922 amounting to about $571, 900.
In written opinion Judge Potter
holds that section 206 of the constitu-
tion has no application to what is known
as the revolving school fund. amounting
to $1.26&720 per annum; that this is
additional to or supplemental of the
common school fund.- appropriated under
section -206. which must be disbursed
on basis of the number of educable
children in each county; that the section
206 appropriation is for the purpose of
guaranteeing a school term of four
months in each county. whereas the re-
volving fund is to augment this appro-
priation and make possible longer school
terms.
The litigation was provoked by a re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court hold
ing that the initiative and referendum
clause of the constitution is null and
void, because improperly submitted to
the people and this decision also. made
null and void an amendment to section
206 providing for a revolving school
fund submitted to the people /at the
same time under the same conditions.
The decision of Judge Potter. If sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court, sets aside
all danger of what threatened to be a
disaster to tks> common schools of the
state. with possibly an extra session of
the legislature to deal with an emer-
gency situation.
Judge Potter's ruling is to the effect
that section zoe does not in any way
prevent supplemental appropriations for
the schools in any amount or manner
that the legislature may see fit to make,
He holds in substance, that there is no
such thing as a common school fund,
within the tPue meaning of the consti-
tuition; that the fund is merely what the
legislature sees fit to set aside in com
pliance with the mandatory provision
that schools must be operated for not
less than four months. The legislative
act of 1922 setting aside funds to be
disbursed among the schools in accord
ance with their needs is not a part or
parcel of the fund which section 206 re-
quires to be appropriated.
Prof w. f. Bond, state superintend-
ent of education, and several department
heads from his office were in the court
room when the decision was rendered
and were much elated over the sweep
ing victory. Prof. Bond left the Court
room wearing a smile of the sort that

gave testimony to the consistent life of
Mr.. Powers who was a deacon of the
church, teacher in the Sunday school
and member of the choir, as well as a
Christian gentleman upon the street and
in his business.
A striking and unusual incident in
spired by the death. of Mr.. Powers was
a visit to the home of Mr.. Homer Pow
ers. where the body lay, on Wednesday
at the midnight hour, by six members
of the Ku Klux Klan. wearing their re-
gala, and bearing an exquisite wreath
of flowers. They knelt in silent prayer
for a moment on either side the casket
and then quietly withdrew into the
shadows Of the night.
Interment was had at Rosehill and
the exquisite profusion of flowers was
left to watch thru the silent hours of
the night beside the sacred dust.
