ROLAND II. HERRINGTON
FOR CHANCERY CLERK

In the announcement column
will be found the name of Rol-
and H. Harrington as a candi-
date for Chancery Clerk.
In placing Mr.. Herrington's
name before the people of Stone
County, it may be proper to call
attention to the fact that he is
pobably the youngest man to
ever seek office in the county.
However, his experience in a law
office and other business offices
has given him an insight to the
clerical duties required in the
Chancery Clerks office He is
a graduate Of the leading busi-
ness college of the South and
has a proficient literary educa-
tiOn.
Roland H. is a son of C. A.
(Uncle Nat) Harrington, and
has made his home here since
he first saw the light of day. In
fact is was on the same spot
where the court house now
stands that Roland Harrington
was born, where, at that time,
his parents resided.
If elected, Mr.. Harrington
says he will "stay on the job"
and devote his entire attention
to the duties of the Office, and
asks that his candidacy be given
consideration by the voters of
the county.

PICKLE CONTRACTS
UPHELD BY COURTS

w. T. Guild, manager Of the
American Pickle & Canning
Company, and attorney U. 3.
Parker returned Tuesday from
Franklin and Lincoln counties
where they had been looking
afte interests of the Pickle Com
pany.
The growing of 125 acres Of
cucumbers for the American
Pickle and Canning Company
had been contracted by farmers
in Lincoln and Franklin counties,
contracts similar to those sign
ed in other parts of the state.
Recently information came to
the local office of the Pickle Com
pany that growers who were
under contract with the local
company were delivering their
crops or portions of same, to
ether buyers. An injunction
was granted by the chancery
court at Magnolia Tuesday re-
straining the growers from sell
ing or offering for sale their crop
Of cucumbers or any portion,
and the purchaser from buying
or attempting to buy and pay
irg for the cucumbers they had
already puchased.
It is evident that the Ameri-
can Pickle and Canning Com
pany expects their growers to
live up to the contract as we'll
as themselves.

Dedeaux Killed
Resisting Arrest
Lamar County Deputy Fires
Deadly ShOt-Death
Instant.

Word reached Wiggins Satur-
day morning that Elvis Dede-
aux, about 35 and unmarried, a
resident of western Stone Coun-
ty, had been killed Friday night
in Lumberton but little details
could be learned until Sheriff
Locke, Deputy Sheriff Lott and
others went to the DedeauX
home at noon, the sheriff hav-
ing been called by Sheriff Will
hanson Of Purvis, asking that
he proceed to Hines Camp to
meet him.
According to the story told
by Vardaman DedeauX, nephew
of Elvis Dedeaux, the slain man,
the two were seated in Elvls'
Ford touring car near the mill
in Lumberton Friday night
about 9 o'clock, when Deputy
Sheriff Kelley approached the
car and attempted to arrest the
two on charge of having liquor
in their possession. According to
Vardaman Dedeaux, Elvis sarted
the car and attempted to drive
off when the deputy sheriff
opened fire from behind.
He claims only he and his
uncle were in the car.
One of the shots, passing
through the rear curtain Of the
top, entered Elvia Dedeaux's
back, the bullet said to be a As,
passing through the body. Var
daman claims that as his uncle
dropped his hands from the
wheel, he took hold and
continued driving the CAR at a
fast speed until he had reached
g point about seven miles from
Lumberton. Here, lie said, he
placed the dead body of his uncle
on the right side Of the seat and
he took the place under the
wheel, continuing the trip to
the home of the dead man.
A physician was summoned
but death had come instantly,
the only words spoken by the
eldest Dedeaux, according to
Vardaman, we're: "They got
me-" as he dropped his hands
and leaned backward over the
seat.
The physician said that while
undressing the dead man, the
bullet dopped from his clothing,
having passed through the body,
between the shoulders, but with
cut force enough to continue
through the clothing.
Sheriff Williamson gave De-
putty Sheriff Kelly's account as
follows: Kelly stepped upon the
running board to arrest Elvis
Dedeaux, Vardaman Dedeaux
and another who he did not re-
cognize. They resisted arrest, he
claims, and one struck him
over the head with a gun while
another kicked him in the stom-
ache, throwing him from the
car. The car Immediately started
away. He opened fire but as
the car continued was unable to
ascertain what damage he had
done. He claimed a man was in
the rear of the car holding a

z and Second Au-
gust %.

Jackson, Miss, June 19.-The
Democratic State Executive
committee met this morning in
! the senate chamber and fixed
August 7th as the date for the
first state primary; the second
to be three weeks later on the
28th of August.
Judge Robert Powell, of this
city, chairman presided, with O.
F. Lawrence of Grenade as sec
retary. A majority of the mem
bers were present in person of
by proxy.
The committee repudidated
the recent ruling issued by At
torney General Clayton Potter,
holding that persons may vote
in the primaries who have not
paid poll taxes provided they
were not assessed with taxes.
The ruling of the committee
Is emphat;cally to the effect that
persons offering to vote must
have pad POLL taxes Cor the two
Dre' ious years. Some members
Of the committee objected to
this action on the ground that
it would prevent many newly
enfranchized women from vot-
ing this year, but a majority
was of the opinion that women
who have not taken the trouble
to qualify in strict accordance
with the constitution are not
entitled to vote.
The resolution fixing regula-
tions was framed by State
Senator Walton Shields, of
Greenville, and was submitted
to the main body by a committee
On resolution composed of O. F.
Lawrence, Walton Shields, Fred
erick Sullens, Miss Minnie Brew
er and L. J. Wise.

ager for Ex-Governor Theo. G.
Bilbo, was accorded the privilege
of the floor and made protest
against that portion of the re-
solutions setting aside the
opinion of the attorney general.
1t was also opposed by Edgar G.
Williams, Of McComb City.
Senator Walton Shields vigor-
ously defended this inter preta-
ton of the law declaring that it
is strict accordance with the
opinion Of a large majority of
the lawyers Of the state.
The vacancies were filled, and
Mrs. Lizzie George Henderson
Of Greenwood was elected to
secceed J. L. Gillespie, deceased;
George Hill of Tupelo, was
chosen to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation Of George L.
Blair, of Tupelo. c. E. Gipson,
