John T. BurkS is
Brutally Assaulted

About 6 o'clock Sunday evening
several parties at Iron Mountain
started row among themselves,
causing considerabl disturbance. John
I. Burks, who is Justice of the Peace
in that township, soon had his atten-
ton attracted by the general disturb
ance that was going on, and inter-
vened in the name of the law, saying
that such disturbance must cease.
The beligerants, at least three of
them, Lee Croker, about 26 years of
age, Ed Enloe, about 40, and Jim
Enloe, a son, Immediately turned on
Squire Burks, beating him up in
heartless manner with rocks and
sticks
Mr.. Burks' son, Tom, and the mine
boss, Mr.. Corbett, finally came TO Mr..
Burks' assistance and succeeded in
pommeling the assailants somewhat.
But it was then found that Squire
Burks had been quite seriously hurt,
having heavy cash in tn back of his
head, had been given heavy blow
across his face, APPARENTLY with a
stick, and was otherwise considerably
bruised. He was brought to this city,
however, where he swore out war
rants for the parties above named,
charging them with assault with in
tent to kill, with malice aforethought.
The offenders were arrested and
are now in Jail, having failed to Sc
cure bondsmen. The preliminary hear
ing was intended to have been held
Tuesday, but Squire Burls' condition
would not permit of his attendance.
The date for the hearing, which will
be before Squire Geo. Sutherland, has
not been definitely fixed, but if Squire
Burks' condition will permit it wiD
probably be held tomorrow.

A Number Fail
On Missing Word

The missing word in last weeks
prize contest advertising in The
Times apears to have been more diff
ficult for many to locate than was
that Of the opening week, as quite a
number failed to submit the correct
answer. The correct word was
"floursD, aud was omitted from the
advertisement OF the Pennington
Milling Co.. from between the words
two and Chat"
+ There is no good reason, however,
for those who failed to find the miss
ing word last week to feel discourage
ed, or to drop out Of the contest. They
will still have many chances of find
ing the successful word in the suc-
ceeding weeks Of the contest in which
those who were successful last week
may fail. Perseverance and success
go hard in hand, while the "quitter"
is foreordained to defeat.
To Observation-Disclosures who live at a
distance from Pennington we will say
that il their letters bear a postmark
not later than Tuesday of each week
their answers will be counted when
received in this office, that they will
not be compelled to work under any
handicap, Each contestant should
sign his or her name plainly, and it
should be written the same way each
week, in order to prevent errors in
credits.
The missing word this week COM
mences with the letter 20" and ends
with "f'. We are trying to make
the missing word a little harder to
find. as the contest proceeds, in order
to reduce the number Of 100 per cent.
contestants, so that finally it is the
hope Of the management to reduce
the leading position to single con-
testant, in order that the first prize
money maynot have to be divided; al
so that there may be similar condi-
tion in regard to all the other prizes.
Therefore the finding of the missing
word this week may put you pernla-
nently in the lead for first money.
Then, too, il little effort is called
for the contest may prove more ad-
vantageous to the different contest
ants, even though they should not
prove to he prize winners.

riculture and copy of it may be OBJ
tanned by sending card to the Coun-
ty Agent or by calling in person al
the Farm Bureau office. This bulle-
tin is an excellent treatise on the sub
ject and every farmer milking either
few or many cows, should have a
copy Of it.
The bulletin contains discussions on
the following subjects: Liberal feed
ing necessary for profit; summer feed
ing; winter feeding; Importance Of a
balance dration; nutritiye value of the
grains and concentrates; compound
ing grain mixture; quantities Of
roughage and grain to feed; individual
feeding; water for cows and salt.
Here is summary of some of the
things the bulletin tells us:
''If dairy cows are to be fed for
profitable production they must re-
ceive liberal ration at all seasons.
In summer, pasture generally is de-
pended upon, but often it must be
supplemented by soiling crops or sill
age, and sometimes by concentrates
as well. For winter feeding, tho ra-
tion usually is composed of hay, sill
age, and mixture Of grains. In pro-
perly balancing the ration the grain
mixture is compounded to fit the
rougage with due consideration for
cost, bulk, palats,dlity, and physio-
logical effect upon the COW. For best
results, cows must be fed individual
-ly, salted regularly, and furnished
with all the clean water they will
drink.
"a few simple guides for feeding
may be summarized as follows:
81. Under most circumstances the
cow should be fed ali the roughage
that she will eat up clean, and the
grain ration should be adjusted to the
milk production.
"2. A grain mixture should be fed
in the proportion of pound to each
3 pints or pounds of milk produced
daily by the COW, except in the case
of COW producing a flow of 4O
pounds or more when the ration may
be ] pound to each 1-2 or a pounds
of milk. An even better rule is /
pound of grain each day for every
pound of bgtterfat that The COW pro-
duces during the week,
"3. Feed all the cow will respond
to in milk production. When she be-
gins to put on flesh, cut down the
grain"

Truck Growing Inspires Whole Community

Port Gibson Reveille.
Truck growing is very inspiring
thing for community. When one
sees load after load OF vegetables be-
ing taken to the station to be ship
ped to distant market. and con-
template the hustle necessary to pro-
duce the crop 10 time to make it
profitable. he readily realizes what
an. Inspiration such business gives
a community. Any business that
requires the owners best effort me-
cessarily develops the locality in
which it is located. Thrift is con-
tagious, and when few people in
any community are bending every
effort to accomplish a given purpose
and are meeting with success, even
the sluggard feels an inspiration for
work.

Adams Plead Guilty In Greene County
Circuit Court.

Circuit court N Greene county
has adjourned after three week s
circuit. The last case disposed of
was that OF John Adams for muir
der. This was on q joint lndict-
ment with Nancy Kelly and Henry
Bond for the murder of Marshal
Lawrence Dunnam of Richton.
Adams had been previously tried
for the murder of Jacob Greene,
prohibition officer at the same time
with Durham in the famous shiny
raid killing on Piney Woods creek
in Greene county on April |, 1921.
Adams turned states evidence in
the trials of Bond and Kelly. both
of whom we're convicted and given
death sentences 1t was his evil
dence as the only eye witness ex-
cept the two principals themselves
that largely factored IN their con-
victions. Adams pleaded guilty to
the second charge and was given a
life sentence on recommendation of
the district attorney. Jackson,

Agricultural High School Faculty
Elected For Next Tenn.

The Trustees OF the Greene Coun-
ty Agricultural High School were in
session Monday and elected the fol
lowing as the faculty for the. school

Agriculturist; NJ. M. Roberts, His
tory & Science; MISS Essie Dean,

(of Humboldt, Tenn.) Commercial;
Mrs. |. K. PEBBLES, Matron. 1t will
readily thus be seen that part of
the old faculty is 9 t a n d
while there are -four new teachers.
This came about by those whom the
new succeed declining reelection as
there was general satisfaction with
the faculty as a whole and the trus
tees were quite willing to reflect
them one and, all. but they were
going to other fields of labor. Prof.
PEBBLES was allowed to pick his own
faculty and hence will have again a
corp of workers in complete sympa-
thy and harmony with his plans for
a Better and Better. A. Fl. s., and
they have fine outlook for another
splendid wears work. This years
work has marked high water tide

even greater strides will be made
during the year on which they will
soon be entering.

The Real Public Whom Editors OF
Country Are Catering To.
Y azaoo City Sen tinel.

Yazaoo City Sentinel.
We feel sure every editor OF a
country paper experiences MANY in
cidents such as come into our own
Wife and that every now and then
someone comes in and tells him, as
an occasional Yazoo City citizen tells
us, that the public would like to
have this or that evil corrected. AS
a rule. the speaker has in mind some
club, or lodge or other organization
when he or she says the public"
wants il done. Other editors doubt
less feeras we do about it, that THE
public" is not alodge or a club or an
organization. The public is out in
the alley washing liver. or darn
ing socks by the fireside, or polish
ing chiidren's faces for school or
hNrying to the grocery for some-
thing to feed hungry mouths when
they are brought from the field or
The factory TO the family festal board.
That's the public 10 the truest
sense of the word, and that's the
public the editors Of this country
are catering to,

When the final good byes were
being said last Saturday and the

it is related that some OF the mem
bers cried, actually shed tears. We
have heard of such things as would
cause high heaven to weep but
we had never connected this with
the present session of the Mississippi
legislature. The News gave the
legislature some good advice when
it first assembled. 1t then said
that If the members wanted to serve
their counties and the entire state
in the very best wav, that they
would meet, fix the budget OF ex-
penscs and adjourn within a week.
But, you see, unfortunately they
didn't take our advice and just see
what happened They we're in SEES

cally the entire time was consumed
in making Investigations out OF
which nothing at ali came, and the
result of which they should have

JUDGE LUTHER BURCH
SPOKE AT COURTHOUSE
MONDAY
IN ADVOCACY vARDAMAN's CANDIDACY
For U. S. Senate.

NJ. Burch of Jackson, Miss, appeared
in Leakesville Monday and spoke at
the courthouse for slightly over
an hour along IN the midday to
very good sized audience. The
house was not exactly crowded but
fairly well filled. 1t did not take
him but moment to let it be known
that he was present to speak in be-
half Of the candidacy of Jas. K
Vardaman for the U. S. Senate.
He spoke OF there being two
schools of thought in Mississippi in
politics. The one which believed by
some kind OF god-given right that
they were entitled to and should rule
over the rest of the people; the other
believe that everyone, no matter
how humble the home 10 which born
should have voice in the govern
ment. 10 the latter school of real
democracy, Vardaman belongs aud
has all his public life devoted his
energies to promoting.
Then he referred to how even his
enemies commended Vardaman, for
his fairness and BUSINESS when pre-
siding as Speaker Of the House in
the mississippi Legislature; that la
ter after he had served so well as
Governor that they had to concede
he made good Governor. That it
was Vardamun S efforts and teaching
which were in large measure re-
sponslble for Mississippi dIscardlng
the old state convention system, a
disgrace to real democracy ia gov
eminent, and under the State pri-
mary law he was the first really cleo
ted Governor of Mississippi. That
il was due to Vardaman while Gov
ernor that the ubiquitous lease con-
tract system for the State peniten-
tiary which ground down even the
white convlcts into degraded sla-
very, was abolished and the present
system OF State farms adopted which
last system has the advantage over
the old one in that the former cost
the state $50, 900 annually while the
latter puts million or SO dollars in
to the State treasury to help relieve
taxation each year.
That long as he was close by, his
enemies could not break his bold
with the people. Was only after he
had been gotten 1900 miles away att
Washington. that they could detract
from his real record and malign and
finally encompassed his defeat
lie then dealt logically and At
length with the charges that Varda-
man was undemocratic, pro-Ger-
man and unamerlcan, showing that
the D votes in the Senate on which
these charges principally rest. were
not such thai would stand IN the
light OF present day calm reasoning
wnen the war-fevered condition oil
the national mind has cooled aud So
Der Judgement and justice of opinion
prevails.
Burch was given close attention.
The audience, even those who might
NOT agree with HIM in politics giving
him respectful hearing as he is an
OLD Greene County boy and one in
whom most of us take pride for his
achievements out in the great active
field of life.
We are told that he made good i'm
presslons for Senator Vardaman
That he opened the eyes or several
to a number OF things and that his
reasoning was convincing etc.
Come again Luther, old Boy, and
let more of your boyhood friends
hear you and the reasons of your
political faith.
