Jeff Clark, Well Known Colored Man
of This City, Drops Dead at BaP-
tist Church When Man Claiming to
Heal by the Touch Tries His Power
on Subject.
ITO BE HEALED, YOU MUST MOI
SNICKER," HE SAID.
Pandemonium Reigned When Man
Drops Dead-Doors of Church Are
Closed-CoIored Isaiah Was Taken
Away and Boarded Train at Wave
land for Parts Unknown.

There was quite a sensation IN col
ored church circles and the town gen
orally Tuesday night, when Jeff
Clark, well known colored man of
this city, dropped dead while attend
ing services at the colored Baptist
church, adjoining the Odd Fellows
Hall, in Washington street.
1t appears an itinerant preacher, a
Black Isaiah, claiming to heal by
magic, as he put it, was holding a
series of services at the church. And
by the laying of the hands claimed
the power of healing. Many of the
colored folk attended the services
nightly. OF the many present Tues
day night, Jeff Clark was one of the
number. He walked up the middle
aisle and the man of the magic heal
ing power accused him of laughing.
IF you snicker, you'll not be healed,
brother," he said. You must be seri-
Gus and have faith.
Clark took heed to the injunction.
And walking towards the rostrum
with the aspect of all seriousness, he
halted when he reached the healer.
The laying of the hands" proceeded
and when Clark felt the touch over
his body, without word or previous
warning, he dropped dead.
What manner of healer is this?
Pandemonium reigned. Brothers
shouted; sisters in the faith tainted.
However the front door was bolted
and no one was allowed to leave the
premises for the time being. But
there was one opening that was not
guarded. That was by the back way
route. Colored Isaiah was secreted
away and taken to Waveland, from
which point it is said he boarded a
train for parts unknown.
Clark's death was pronounced due
to heart failure. He had been i'll and
he had hoped the healer might cure
him. He was a native and lifelong
resident of Bay ST. Louis, residing
opposite the baseball park. He was
well known and enjoyed the respect
of all who knew him. Industrious
and a peaceful citizen. His funeral
took place the following evening, in
terment at Cedar Rest Cemetery.

Board of Trustees in Session Satur-
day Night Reflect Superinten-
dent Leon McCluer for City
Schools, and Miss c. l.. Pearson,
Principal of Bay High School.
RECOGNITION OF EXCELLENT
TERM JUST ENDED.
monious and Contradictions of
Best Sessions in Schools History.
Miss Hymel to Head Webb School
and Miss Breath the Taylor School.

At meeting of the Board of City
School Trustees, held Saturday night;
Prof. Leon McCluer was reelected
superintendent of city schools for the
session 1929, and Miss Cora Lea
Pearson was also re-elects3 principal
for Bay High School for ne t session.
The election was unanimous. The
following are the teachers for next
term:
Central School: Leon McCluer, su-
perintendent; Miss Cora Lea Pear
son, principal; Mrs. w. o. Sylvester,
first assistant; Misses Olga Won Droz-
kowsky, Celine Fayard.
r. W. Webb School: Miss Della
Hymel, principal; Miss Nina Ladner,
assistant
r. w. Taylor School: Miss Rita
Breath, principal; Miss Ella Fayard,
assistant.
Vacancies will be filled at a sub
sequent meeting.
The reelection of the teachers was
recognition of the successful term
ended. 1t had been one of the most
harmonious and constructive in the
history of city schools. The attend
ance has increased, and the character
of the work has been far above the
average. The Bay st. Louis city
schools have splendid standing in
the State, with high affiliatiOn.
Should the attendance continue To
increase the building will become all
too small, and it's dilapidated and
possibly unsafe condition warrants a
new one. 1t is hoped that the time
is not far distant when the city will
be in a position to erect a modern
brick building, with basement. The
city and it's population and constant
growth demand such a school build
ing.
The Echo notes with interest and
pleasure the return of Prof. McCluer
to head the schools. He and his as
sistants have worked hard and it is
noteworthy that their efforts have
met with such success.

DR.. William Cain, general super
vising inspector for Hancock coun-
ty, has received official notification
from Jackson that all cattle must be
dipped every fourteen days, to the
very day. The schedules sent out the
beginning of the present month will
not hold, for the law is very specific
and the State is very particular as to
its enforcement.
1t has been noticed, says DR.. Cain,
that number of people have only a
number of their cattle dipped and
not all. This is a serious offense,
and the State as we'll as the county
will not stand for this violation. If
it is good for one head to be dipped
it must be good for all. And if the
county is to be rid of the tick it can
not be done unless every head is
treated alike.
DR.. Cain is simply carrying, out his
bounden duty when he insists that all
cattle be dipped, and he feels that
every citizen in Hancock county own
ing cattle will cooperate with him.
There has been considerable objec-
ton in some parts of the county to
the marking of cattle with dye as
they leave the dipping place. This is
done, of course, to identify the cat
tie that have been dipped, but it
serves a double purpose inasmuch
many owners live on the county line
and cattle crossing over into the for
eign territory can be told at a glance,
besides it protects the individual
owner from theft. Should stock so
marked stray away it can thus be
easily identified.
Every effort is being exerted by
DR.. Cain and his local inspectors in
helping to get the county rid of the
tick, the success of which would mean
staying the ravages of the pest and
the saving for the people and the
county of untold amounts Of money.
DR.. Cain is more than willing to
assist the stock owners with their
problems. If in doubt, communicate
with him by telephone. He will be
glad to advise and to assist.

Surely, This Does Not Apply To You.

How German Living Cost
Jumps as Mark Slumps
''Frankfurter Zeitung" Index at
9,l4O on July l, With Cur
rencv at L ?. G.. of Par

WASHINGTON, July 90 The
Frankfurter Zeitung" is now pub
fishing wholesale price index based
on ninety-eight commodities, states
Commercial Attache Herring in cable
to the Department of Commerce. This
index is carried back for comparison
to 1914, the base figure being 100 for
the middle of that year
The index figures for January /
1920 and 1921, and for the first OF
each month of this year, including
July, are as follows:
Middle of 1914, 100; January /,
1920, 1897: January l, 1921, 2,127; Jan
uary /. 1922, 4,23s; February /, 1922,

1922, 6722; May !, 1922. 1879; June
l, 1922, 7,841; July /, 1922, 9,14o.
at is interesting" says Mr.. Herring
"to compare this July ! index figure
Of 9,140 with the value OF the German
mark in percentage of par where we
can assume that the currency stood in
1914. At that date, when wholesale
commodities had increased in price q
trif1e over 81 times, the mark had
taAieH W piact4caI4y per cent OF lis
former value.
"The government cost of living In
dex, comprising food, rent, heat anG
light, based on 100 for July, 1914, stood
at 3,779 for June Of this year.
"The government foodstuffs index
shows higher figure than the cost Of
living index. On the same basis OF
100 for 1914, the June figure was 5,11a
The increase in foodstuffs costs is
most noticeable in small and medium
sized German cities"
