Holmes Fortunate In
States Selections
EdisOn's Successor

Holmes county is unusually proud of
two of its distinguished young Ameri-
cans, Roy Bailey, OF Jackson and Wilbur
Powers, of Denver, Colorado, both being

sons successor in competitive contests
for the scholarhip to be awarded by the
famous inventor, in which he hopes to
select some aspirant to take his place
in the inventive world.
Roy Bailey's father, R. c. Bailey, was
born and raised in Lexington and to-
gether with his son, are often guests
in the home of their mother and grand
mother. Mrs. r. T. Bailey. of this city.
Young Bailey merited the highest rating
however not being as sturdy as Hughie
Lee Foote of Hattiesburg, the latter was
selected. Since the withdrawal OF
Hughie Foote, owing to appointment to
the naval academy, Roy Bailey has been
named by Governor Bilbo and will ieave
for East Orange, n. j.. the latter part OF
this week. He is a recent graduate of
the Central High School at Jackson and
has many friends in Lexington who is
sharing the honor with him.
Wilbur Powers, of Denver, Colorado,
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Emmett Pow
ers, formerly of Durant, and a great
nephew of Miss Lucy Sproles, of Tchula.
He received the unanimous vote of the
committee of judges at Denver, and Gov.
Adams, of Colorado, presented his Gre
dentials a recent date at Denver for the
states choice of that great western COM
monwealth. He is an ambitious boy and
is inclined towards scientific work. He
has majored in mathematics and also
has invented small implements for
weather bureaus. Minerals also have
come in for a share of attention in his
scientific work and study.
In the selection of either OF these two
talented youngsters, the decision will
please many relatives in Holmes county,

Youths ExhOnOrated
of Any Intention
of Wrong Doing

DR.. R. NJ. Stephenson returned Sun
day from the Mississippi gulf coast
where he had been investigating the ar
rest of his son, Robert, together with
five other Lexington boys, upon a tres
pass charge of salvaging tires from a
burning automobile, while on a pleas
ure trip and returned with a written
statement from H. d. Moore, justice of
the peace, of Gulfport, before whom the
boys We're tried and fined. Prior to this
trial, the youngsters had been lodged in
jail for night A press item appear
ing under a Gulfport date line was the
first intimation the parents had of the
affair and telephone communications
were hastily made to authorities relative
to the treatment accorded the local boys,
all of whom We're of prominent families
of the city, that had planned am inno-
cent outing and week of fun on the
coast.
A corrected version of the affair, to-
gether with the statement of the justice
of the peace, appeared in The Daily
Herald, Saturday, July 13, copy. of
which DR.. Stephenson has brought back
to Lexington with him after his nvesti-
cation of the arrests. The article is as
follows:
"a wave of righteous Indignation
swept over Lexington some days ago
when the parents and friends of half a
dozen youths from Lexington, sons of
prominent Holmes county citizens, were
arrested by Gulfport police authorities
lodged in Jail for a night and on the
day following carried before Justice of
the Peace H. D. Moore and given nomi-
nal fines and assessed with court costs
on a trespass charge in connection with
the salvaging by the boys of some auto
mobile tires found on a burning auto
mobile on the highway just north of
Gulfport.
