With milder weather, so far as tenn

adelphia North American international

of 2O6 eggs for the seventeenth week.
and at the same time slight changes
were made in positions of ten high pens

total 1896, and pen 67 gained eggs on
its leader with a weekly yield of q
eggs, total $50, or IA eggs less than first

Third pen made a slight loss, laying
10 eggs for a total of S57, while fourth
pen ladd 26 eggs for a total of S46. Pens
26 and 80 are but 2 eggs apart, and pen
broke away from last weeks tie and
went into sixth position.
A glance at the score box will reveal
a very greatly increased production and
a solid appearance, compared with score
boxes of several preceding weeks.
The number Of birds in some stage OF
molt has been reduced to three, all
molters except these three having re-
sumed production.
For the week thirty-three pens laid 20

None Of the sections show abnormally
low yields for the season. The White
Leghorn section seems to be unusually
high for this time of the year. If the
warm weather period carries this sec
ton along at its comparatively high
rate the finals for the competition will
be far above former years.
By all the laws of averages this pres

EXEMPTION OF
STATE INSURANCE
Is UPHELD
Mississippi Supreme Court
Holds Legislature Act Valid.

jackson, Miss, April 9.-By a di-
vision of four to two, the supreme
court today upheld the validity of
Chapter 1S4 laws of 1922, exemptinr
from certain taxes ''all insurance COM
panies or association organized or
Incorporated under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and maintaining
a domicile therein" for a period of
five years, Justice Anderson and Just
ice Ethridge dissenting.
The question before the court came
up on two appeals taken by the city
of Jackson in cases against the Mis-
sissippi Fire Insurance Company and
the Lamar Life Insurance, each claim
ing exemption under the statute. Sew
eral sections of the state constitu-
tiion, notably Sections 181, 1872 and
ll2, were involved and certain provis-
ions of the federal constitution also.
Chief Justice Smith, delivering the
opinion Of the court, announced that
all Of the court agreed that the statute
did not violate Section 112, which Sec
ton, the court said, had been con-
strued in the famous Mississippi Mills
case, which was held not to prohibit
tax exemptions by the Legislature.

J. c. Gill barber, formerly EN-

who resided with his wife and babe

custody by officers at Ruleville on
statutory charge.
Only meager reports of the affair
have reached relatives and friends
in this city, and they have no further
knowledge of the affair aside the
report printed in Memphis and

Today, Friday, Mr.. Harley Wat

thoroughly investigate the unhappy
affair.
Below is the press report sent out
by the associated press:
Ruleville, April S.-Mrs. J. c. Gill

wounded at an early hour in her
home here, by her husband, j. c.
Gill, barber. Gill was questioned
about the shooting and stated that
he had got out his pistol, a % auto

the yard and in adjusting the weap-
on it was accidentally discharged.

RUM RUNNERS
FAIL TO DELIVER
Twelve Hundred Quarts Seized
Being Landed on Beach Near
Biloxi.

Biloxi, Miss, April 8.-One of the
largest liquor raids yet pulled off in
Southern Mississippi resulted in L.
200 quarts of imported choice whiskey
being captured at an early hour this
morning on West Beach, near the
city limits, when representatives of
Sheriff Joseph Haven's Office of
Gulfport and members of the Ku
Klux Klan of that city made a most
successful haul.
Antc-;o Garcia, claiming New
Orleans as his home, was wounded in
the face with birdshot, but was not
injured seriously. He was taken to
Gulfport and after his wounds were
dressed he was committed to the Har-
rison County Jail. He refuses to make
any statement. The officials claim
that second man escaped, but they
believe he was wounded. Sheriff Ha-
vens had no doubt been tipped off

Gulfport and Biloxi. Although the
raid took place practically within the
city limits. the sheriff did not seek
the aid of the local police. This is
the first known in this section where
by a county official has used Klan
help.
The liquor totaled 120 cases and
was valued at $4,000. 1t was being
unloaded from motor boat into .
skiff and placed on the white sand
on the beach. It is said that the motor
boat secured the liquor from
larger vessel anchored near one OF
the outlying islands. The entire
sized cargo was DESTROYED IN Gulf
port this afternoon.
The raid is believed to have brok-
en- up one Of the biggest rum-running
machines in Mississippi. 1t is SAID
that the liquor was unloaded at in
tervals into automobiles or trucks,
and carried to Hattiesburg, Jackson
and other cities in the interior OF Mis-

Marion, H., April 7.-All of the
untried criminal indictments growing
out of the Herrin riot were nolle

by jury last night of six defend
ants charged with murder in connec-

The request that the indictments

morning by Delos Duty, states at

When court assembled A. w. Kerr,
chief counsel for the Illinois Mine
Workers, demanded an immediate
trial for the "a men still under in
dictment on charges of murder, con-
spiracy and assault.
II am not going to try any more of
these cases." Mr.. Doty declared.

Mr.. Doty remarked that while he
felt strongly that crime had been
committed he felt that further prose

WATER VALLEY KHAN,
Realm of Mississippi.

Wednesday night large plain
white envelope. sealed, and bearing
the inscription "Please Open This
was placed in one of the plates pass
ed for the usual evening contribution
at the big revival meeting in prog
ress at the Baptist Church.
Upon opening the large envelope
it was found to contain the above
letter and $125.00 in currency given
as the letter states as the K. X. KS
contribution to the meetings.
The letter was handed to Rev. C.
P. Meeker, the evangelist, who read
it to the congregation, who then,
with deep feeling, expressed in be-
half of himself and all others named
in the communication their apprecia-
ton for the magnificent gift as well
as the sentiment and felicitation ex--
pressed.
The parties passing the contribu-
ton plates didn't notice who put the
large envelope in the plate and it
was first noticed when the plates
were returned to the rostrumn.
It proved most agreeable and pleas
ant surprise for the good ministers
and helpers in charge of the meeting,
and it also surprised many in the big
congregation as this was the first in
formation many had that there was
local organization of the Klan in
Water Valley.
The big meetings will close next
Sunday night. 1t has been one of the
greatest revivals ever held in Water
Valley and a wonderful work has been
accomplished Upto Thursday after
noon there had been So conversions,
and on that day at short service
held at the I. C. shops during the
noon hour, seven strong men came
out and stood a stand for Christ.
Evangelist Meeker, and Harry
Clarke singer, will return to their
homes in Chicago at the close OF
the meetings, while Bro. George
Schuler will go from here to Holly
Springs where he will conduct the
music several days in a meeting in
progress at that place.
Water Valley is, indeed, fortunate
in having Bros. Meeker. Clarke and
Schuler here in this meeting. They
have worked hard and faithfully and
through their efforts a wonderful
result has been attained. The great
they have accomplished win live and
continue years, many years to come.
Their earnest. conscientious, sincere
interest in all, whether saint or sin
ner made them q world Of dear
friends who remember them with
love, affection and admiration. May
they hasten their return to Water
