PERCY THOMAS IN CASE

Examination of the books of the
banker, e. d. Dier & Co., which
brought out on Tuesday that vast
sums were spent while the firm made
only 100000 year legitimate profits
also showed, it was learned yesterday,
down hill financially in the latter part
of last year but was at the same time
increasing it's expenses enormously.
From January to May 1S of last
year DER & Co. had gross profit of
S21.S47.59. From May 10 until jan
uary Is of this year the firm had
gross loss on its commissions and in
terest accounts of $953.54, which cut
the earnings for the year to $20,S9405.
1t was while this obvious slackening
OF business was in progress that the
costs Went up.
The branch Office expenses in the first
half of the year were $144.629, the,
last half. when the firm was losing
money, they jumped to s544.oOo. The
general administrative expenses jumped
from xS9,o14 to $7s,31S and the salaries
account from $177,336 to s2ss.352.
Expenses More Than Doubled.
There were ether increases, too, so
that it appears to have cost Dier Co.,
or to speak morOtruly their customers,
349s,116 to do business from January
to May IS, while it cost $1,075.613 to
do business in the last half of the year.
Other testimony and records have
shown that the members of the firm
knew that failure was imminent and
that in the last three months no at
tempt was made to execute orders put
jn by customers. Thus it is charged
that Dier & Co. abandoned the.1921 style

Touches City ProbIems.

Coming TO the distinctive New York
city problems Of Port Authority and
transit the Governor said the State had
not "interfered." but simply discharged
it's responsibility. Some people wanted
to secede from the rest of the State, but
there was time coming when those peo-
pie would think differently.
On the transit problem he assailed
those who had been antagonistic to the
plan. Transit? We were playing poll
tics with transit" he said. so it is
said. Well, it was pretty poor politics,
was it not. Senator (turning to Senator
Calder). My Republican friends down
here told me what would happen If we
passed the transit act; and we did. But
again the State of New York had duty
to perform, not to settle your transit
problem but to provide you with the
means by which 1t could be settled.
1T is time that Republicans buckles ]
On their armor. Our party, as we be-
lieve. is the party upon the success of
whose principles the future development
and prosperity of Our country, State and
city depend. We are Republicans not
for place or power, but because we be-
lieve in the principles of our party, and
believing in those principles 1t is our
duty to fight for them"
II ,thiEk," he added, 'it is high time
politics were eliminated from the solu-
ton of these great problems. l see at
last 1t appears to have dawned upon
some gentlemen around the City Hall
that 1t is necessary to do something ex-
cept obstruct. They talk about a plan.
Let 1T be brought forward. No pride OF
authorship will prevent the best plan
being accepted. l am not interfering,
but so long as l am Governor, those
public servants who do their duty will
have my moral support"
Prior to the meeting the Governor
was the guest of United States Senator
Calder at dinner at the Montauk Club.

Store at Calyx
Robbed and BurEed
Mr.. {. S. Field Loses Heavily in
Robbery and Fire.

Thieves, travelling in an auto, robbed
and burned the store OF MIR. &. 5.
Field, six miles east of Shuqualak.
The loss in stock is probably between
Sl2 900 and $4,000. He had just re-
ceived the larger part of his fall goods
and they were still unopened. The
greater loss was in the contents of
his safe, bonds to the amount of $55.-
600 being stolen, and notes to even
a greater amount. The bonds are
registered and cannot be negotiated
but there will be considerable expense
in having them replaced.
Entrance was gained to the store
through window to Mr.. Fields Of
flee and the thieves made their exit
through the front door, which was
left open. The fire, Mr.. Field thinks.
must have been accidental or the rob
bers would have gone out of the open
window from whence they came in.
Mr.. B. T. Ogiltree and wife occupy
a cottage just across the road from
the store ard they were awakened by
explosion from cartridges that were
in Mr.. Fields office. They gave the
alarm and Mr.. H. w. Field was the
first to reach the store an das he oper-
ed the door in the rear the flames
singed his hair He then went to the
front and found the doors open.
There was no evidence of the safe
having been blown or forced and it
is evident that the thieves were pro-
fessionals.
The CalyX post office is located in
the store and the funds amounting
to $50 or $40 We're stolen and all blanks
burned
Mr.. Field has offered a reward of
$1,000 for detection of the robbers ard
there is a standing reward of $4,000
by the government for the capture of
a thief who robbed a post office or
the mails.
There is no clue the only thing
known is that the thieves went south
towards Scooba, number of papers
taken from the safe being found ir
the road about one mile south OF the
store.
1t was learned Thursday Afternoon
that lot of notes and papers from
the safe had been found in the woods
along Wahalakcreek, two miles ol
more from the store.

keeping them IN good repair.
We, as commissioners of district 8
have charge Of these three roads and
wish to make this statement regard
ing these and the other bonded roads
OF the District. We went before the
Board January lst, and asked for
the same levy of three mlIls~that was
allowed us last year, but these same
tax payers clamored for reduction
of taxes and succeeded in getting the
Board to allow only two mills and
Macon gets one half paid by the City
of Macon Of the maintenance fund
which reduces our maintenance fund
something like Sl50000 to $l8O0.O0,
consequently we have had to take off
the truck that hauled the rock for the
road.
We have about 55 miles Of road
to maintain and only about 100000
10 do this WITH and we cannot with
one outfit haul rock and keep the ro d
machines too. Besides this allowance
by the Board there is commutatiol
tax Of $500 for each hand and $500
for each head Of work stock on these
bonded roads and if these same tax
payers were as willing to pay
this tax or work their teams
on these roads as the people on the
Starkville and Allgood roads are we
could maintain these roads in much
better condition, but some Of these
same signers gave US incorrect lists
of their hands and teams subject tC

DAMANISM KILLED IN MISSISSIPPI
Notice, Jersey Breeders

Next Thursday, Sept. l4th, is the
day TO bring in your good registered
cattle TO the Court HOUSE yard at
Mecen, to be judged and selected for
t. County Show Herd to be sent
to Meridian and Jackson fairs.
II is extremely important that We get
the best the county has to send 10
these fairs, and We cannot do it un-
less you will bring the cattle to the
court house yard, as suggested, Try
to get them in not later than 10
o'clock.
We know there is not time enough
left to properly fit them for show,
but let's do the best we can. If we
never start we will never get any
where
The most important rules at these
fairs for Jerseys are briefly as fol-
lows.
All animals must be registeraj and
papers must be presented with the
animal for eritry, if requested by
the fair management.
All animals over six months of age
must have health certificate from vet
erinarian, showing them to have been
tested for tuberculosis within six
months except from I. S. Accredited
herds.
Ages Of animals will be reckoned
from Feb. lst, and August 1st Of
each year, For example; a junior
calf is calf dropped since February
l, 1922.
A senior calf is a o. dropped
August lst, 1921 and February 1922.
A Junior yearlng is calf dropped
between February 1921 and August
1st, 1921.
A Senior yearling is calf dropped
between August lst, 1920 and Febru-
airy 1st, 1921 etc.
All bulls over one year old must
have a ring in the nose, and be led
with staff while on the grounds at
the fairs.
In our article of last week.. it was
stated that the expense of this county
herd would be bourn by the Noxubee
Jersey Breeders Association. We
should have said that it is proposed
to raise money by subscription to help
pay the way Many people realize
that this is only start toward a
program to advertise really impor-
tant product of our county, and have
expressed willingness to help US
get started. But the expense per
animal will not be heavy anyway
compared to the benefit it will be tc
the breeders to get a start towarc
the end we 2re seeking.
Now Breeders. lets take hold a
this ard make it booming success
even if our cattle are not in the best
shape for show. Another wear w,
will start early enough to put then
in shape.
II ANYTHING Of interest comes up
we will let you know at the meeting
at the court house on the 14th, or II
next weeks Beacon.
REMEMBER. COOPERATE. il /,
