Deadlock Broken After Two
Days Fight Between Re-

INSURGENTS FORCED
DEMANDS ON REGULARS
President Coolidge Will Address
Congress in Person In Joint Session

Washington, Dec. 5.--The sixty
eighth congress was organized to-
day with the breaking of the two day
deadlock in the house over the
speakership, and it will receive
President Coolidge's first annual
massage tomorrow.
The president will address con-
gress in person at 1890 o'clock at
a joint session in the house chamber.
Although congress now is ready to
function, little can be done in the
way of legislation until after the
Christmas holidays. Committees Of
both the house and senate have VT
to be organized, and they must pass
on all important measures before
there can be action by either house.
Insurgents Satisfied.
The break leading to the re-elec-
ton Of Speaker Gillett on the first
ballot today came after republican
insurgents had satisfied themselves
that there would be opportunity next
month to offer amendments to house
rules. Given this assurance on the
floor by Representative Longworth
Of Ohio, the republican leader, the
group which for eight ballots had
supported either Representatives
Cooper Of Wisconsin or Madden, Illi-
nois, flocked almost solidly to Gil
lett, giving him . majority Of eight
votes.
How the Vote Stood.
The result showed:
Gillett 215; Garrett. democrat, 1877;
Madden, republican 2.
James of Michigan, and Reid, ILL
nois, republicans stuck to Madden
to the last. Berger, socialist, Wis
consin, Kvale, independent, Mime

previous ballots Kvale and Wefald
had voted for Cooper but Berger

COUNTY AGENT NOTES
Yalobusha County Agent Prac-
tically Discontinued

(BY THOS. E. DOUGLAS, Co. Agt.)
Since the recent action or rather
non action of the Board Of Supervis-
ors in December session relative to
continuing the County Agent work
for 1924 have been asked many
questions about the decision and to
clarity the whole situation l am
writing this article so that the people
of the county may know the truth Of
the situation.
Mr.. Olson District Agent went be-
fore the Board at Water Valley to
get some definite action. The mo-
tion was put to the Board to continue
the work at the same salary which is
salary below the average paid in
the state. The vote stood as fol-
lows:
Beat One Yes. Beat Two No.
Beat Three No. Beat Four re-
fused to vote off tie. Beat Five
Yes.
In the discussion that followed the
vote it was inferred that the tie vote
would be cast at the January board
meeting in favor Of reducing the
salary $4,000 per month which
would put it below living salary.
Mr.. Olson authorizes me to say to
the people that the state positively
will not cooperate with county not
paying a larger appropriation than
this. It is not justice to the county
and to the work to employ cheap
inexperienced man to fill position
which requires as much responsibility
and preparation as the County Agent
work does and for that reason the
state does not cooperate.
l am not. informing the people Of
this because I want the job, because
have two counties now better in
some respects that can contract for
next year. The position Of course
was trifle embarrassing to me but
nevertheless I cannot accept the posi-
ton now at any price. do hope
that the progressive people of the
county will rally and see that the
work is properly reinstated at the
January meeting.
Yalobusha County has now had q
County Agent since the first one was
employed more than eight years ago.
In my mind one is needed worse today
than ever due to the boil weevil
ravage principally. Something must
take the place of cotton in small way
and we must learn to fight the weevil
by the improved methods which ex-
perts have worked out and which
are very successful.
There are many other problems
that the County Agent can help the
people to solve.
In conclusion want to say that |
appreciate the cooperation given me
by the people so far and regret that
l cannot be with you next year to
carry out numerous projects which
have outlined with number OF
farmers.

BOY KILLED
BY COMPANION
Wilson, l2-year Old Son of
Vol Coleman Shot and Killed
by Josephus Forshee While
Hunting, Friday.

One Of the most deplorable TRACE
dies that has happened in this COM
munity, for many years occurred
Friday afternoon in which bright
manly little boy paid the extreme
penalty for being in party Of
young inexperienced hunters.
Wilson Wayne Coleman, son of Mr..
Vol p. Coleman who resides about z
miles southeast Of Water Valley, was
shot and killed by companion
Josephus Forshee the 14-year old son
of Mr.. andMrs. John Forshee who
reside about a mile distant from the
Coleman home.
The father of the boy killed gives
the following account Of the terrible
affair: He and hired hand left with
a load Of hay for Water Valley dur
ing the forenoon. After dinner
Elmer St. John the 11-year old son
a neighbor came to the Coleman home
and together the St. John boy and
Coleman brothers, Wilson and Ed
ward. went rabbit hunting near the
home. After going some distance
the three little boys met Josephus
Forshee and Herman Madden. Ed
ward Coleman had shotgun and
Josephus Forshee had one. The 8
boys were together and some Of them
relate that Josephus had removed
the shells from his "a double barreled
gum and was trying to frighten them
by swapping the triggers on the empty
gun while pointed at them. Later
he put one shell in the gun, and in
some way turned the gun toward
Wilson Coleman standing back OF
him. the gun was fired and Wilson
fell mortally wounded. The gun
barrel was so close to the victim that
his clothing caught fire from the gun
fire. The Forshee boy stated he
heard dog bark or some noise be-
hind him and turning around quickly
in that direction, in some manner the
gun was fired.
The companions of the wounded
boy carried him to the nearest house,
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. T.. St
John for help. A physician was
called from Water Valley and effort
made to notify the boys father who
had not yet returned from Water
Valley. DR.. Cooper who was on his
way to the St. John home overtook
Mr.. Coleman on the road home and
informed the father of the terrible
accident to his son. The father got
in the car with the doctor and together
they rushed on to Mr.. st. Johns
home, where they found the boy
still conscious but near death, the
little fellow only lived about 80
minutes after his fathers arrival.
The accident happened about 2:3C
p. m. and the boy lived only an hour
longer. The load Of shot entered
his left side just below the heart and
penetrated his stomach and intestines
and came out at the back, making 9
large hole through the body.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at 8 o'clock Saturday by Rev. M
F. Metts at Bethel Church, and burial
was made in the adjoining cemetery
