Jackson, Miss. Nov. II. At
torneys representing the FIRE insur-
ance companies convicted in the su-
preme court on Monday of violating
Mississippi's antitrust law, and a.
gainst whom fines aggregating near
ly sS.000,000 are pending. are en-
gagged today in careful study OF the
four opinions read by the state tri-
bunal, and mapping out :heir line of
fresh attack.
The remarkable character Of the
decision, the three-and-three vote of
the court, and the utter inability of
the six members to unanimously a.
gree on any one of the points in
volved, has encouraged attorneys for
the insurance interests to believe
that suggestion or error might meet
with some favor.
At any rate, the fling of a sug-
gestion of error will be the next
maneuver of the defense, and in e.
vent it is overruled an appeal to
the United States supreme court will
follow. :

IS SIGNING UP THE
COTTON GROWERS
Representative Mississippi Farm
Bureau Cotton Association
Here.

Mr.. B. F. Hull, of Jackson, Field
Manager for Lincoln county, for the
Mississippi Farm Bureau Cotton AS
sociation has been in Brookhaven
several days. Mr.. Hull was grati-
fed to have signed up two hundred
farmers who have enlisted for more
Money for Cotton, the slogan of the
Association. 1t is hoped that by De-
cember 100000 bales will be signed
up. If this is done the Association
will be incorporated and become i'm
mediately big business organization
for the orderly marketing of cotton.
Southern farmers are the sole
manufacturers of the product, yet
have no more voice in the price than
Others have in the price Of shoes or
any other commodities they must
buy.
1t is estimated there are 80 sales
to the bale. The average ten-year
production of cotton in the United
States is 100000 bales. The
average annual sales on the cotton
exchange number S60.000,000. Thir-
ty sales to every bale!
That is why the price Of cotton
is largely determined on the Cotton
exchange. a place where SSS,000,-
900 sales are fictitious as against
IL, 100000 that are actually neces-
sary. The difference is in favor of
the speculator who controls the price.
The farmers want to handle their
own business and should do it.
]. d. Coghlan, Texas farmer, will
tell all about pooling cotton at
Brookhayen's Court House next Mon
day at 10000 a. m.

ANTI-SALooN ADVOCATE
DRAWS LARGE CROWD
Miss Green Made Impressive Address
Foreign Liquor Fields Are
Roundly Scored.

Miss Ida Green, speaker for the
Anti-Saloon League OF America, adj
dressed an audience that filed prae-
tically the entire main floor of the
auditorium of the Brookhaven Bap-
tist church last Friday evening.
Miss Green, who holds a Masters
Degree from the University of Mich
igan. lectured extensively in England
and Scotland during the recent pro-
hibiton campaign, as did her fellow
American, the wellknown Pussy
foot" Johnson.
Miss Green's experiences in the
British Isles and France have given
her authoritative knowledge of what
drink means to countries where its
sale Is practically unrestricted.
Frances diminishing birthrate,
which canpot keep pace with the
death rate, source of concern to
her statesmen long before the war,
was attributed by the speaker indi-
rectly to the drink evil. Since drink
contributes to weakening the resist
ance to immoral practices, 1t is large
ly responsible for the contraction of
the sex diseases inimical to the trans
mission of life. The immortality re-
ported as so widely existent in
France by returned American SOL
diers was in no wise exaggerated by
them. said Miss Green.
The plea for personal liberty,
which is stressed by the liquor in
terests, is construed only in their
favor. as Miss Green proved in tell
ing how Spanish wine concerns forc-
ed the recall of Icelands prohibi-
tion law by boycott upon Iceland's
dried fish, her chief source of reve-
nue..
In England, while questioners who
favored liquor were answered by
prohibition speakers, prohibition
Questioners were ordered from the
hall when they questioned the speak
ers favoring liquor.
Propaganda favoring the liquor
interests is rife in England, and the
true condition of America since the
enactment of the prohibition amend
ment is misrepresented for CONNER
eial reasons.
Foreign interests are spending
money. time and thought to make
the United States market for
wines, ETC.. once more.
The prosperity Of those who man
lfactured and sold alcoholic drinks
was in marked contrast to the poor
patronage accorded merchants and
other business men In England.
Miss Green's lecture contained wit
and humor as well as varied infor-
nation Of serious import. and was
appreciatively received.
A collection was taken at the close
Of the meeting. but the amount so
far as could be ascertained was not
made public.
Or. ]. A. Taylor, pastor of the
church, expressed commendation OF
Miss Green's lecture and work upon
behalf OF the audience.

Sale Of Seed Increases.

Meade Mathis, whose name is be-
coming synonymous with that of the
Farm Bureau, takes pride in the fact
that the sale of seed for Lincoln coun
ty exceeds past records.
Cabbage seed sufficient to plant
225 acres has been sold; carort seed
for SO acres and the demand is still
on.
Last year Franklin County was
supplied from Lincoln; but this year
the truckers there will supply them
selves, a fact which makes Lincoln's
increase all the more notable.
$4,000 additional strawberry
plants have also been ordered.
