The recent hullaballo over Harry
Houdini's reported communication with
his widow from beyond the grave re-
calls an episode in which Prince Victor
Duleep Singh, one of the reigning
native rulers of India, figured several
years ago, although the circumstances
varied considerably.
In the Houdini case the communica-
ton was reputed to have been achieved
through meG.umistic means, which Is
always open to doubt and suspicion,
while in the case of Prince Singh CON-
munication was direct.
Another difference was that the
alleged revelations from Houdini. trans

which he and his wife had agreed
prior to his death, came after rather
q long interval while psychic connec-
tion--if it was that-was established
In the Prince Singh case Immediately
ct the time Of death.
The episode Is vouched for by the
prince and by the Earl Of Carnarvon,
the latter name being particularly well
known to every one of this day because
Of its connection with the excavation
CT the tomb Of Tut-ankh-Amen. There
can be no doubt Of its verify, for per-
sons so distinguished and of such i'm
portant station and wealth would have
no object In perpetrating fraud. The
only suspicion possible to entertain to-
ward 1t would be that it was merely
coincidental. The reader can draw his
own conclusions.
Prince Singh and Lord Carnarvon on
m October evening went to the theater
In Berlin. They returned to their hotel
before midnight, and retired.
Prince Singh had an unusual habit.
On going to bed ne always left bright
light burning in his room. On this
night as he lay in bed with the incan-
decent cleaning above him his gaze
wandered about the room a bit and
then suddenly focused. upon an oleo-
graph which hung on the wall opposite
the bed.

Supervisors Rescind
SEEMING Regulation
In Petition Request

A petition signed by over 200 citi-
zens was presented to the Board of
Supervisors of Holmes county by W. w.
Byrd, of near Lexington, requesting that
the body either rescind the order recent
ly passed prohibiting seining in the
county, or to prohibit all fishing of any
kind for a period of two years, or to al
low the waters of the Big Black River,
the Yazoo River and Tchula Lake only
to BE sened.
The board after hearing the argu-
ments in behalf of the petition, voted to
allow seining in the Big Black and va
zoo Rivers, as well as Tchula Lake, Mr.
Byrd stated, and altho not engaged in
the business of sening, the circulator of
the petition stated that it afforded a
means of livelihood for many people, as
well as forcing many to buy fish from
neighboring counties where seining was
permissible.
Other reasons advanced were given
THAT overstocking of the navigaDie
streams mentioned with buffalo and cat
fish, as well as numerous gars would
be relieved and allow better chance
for the game fish
Markets maintained in every town of
the county may continue to sell fish
from local fishermen since the above
change has been made in the order pass
last month, and fish wagons continue to
supply the dealers with the cat fish and
buffalo that seemingly continues to be
plentiful in all streams

Carroll Joins Holmes
In Special Tax Levy
For Junior College

At meeting of the School Board of
Carroll county held in the office of the
superintendent of education at Carroll
ton August "a, a resolution was passed
authorizing Carroll county to cooperate
with Holmes county in the support of a
Junior college. This resolution was
passed to the Board of Supervisors rec
ommendng that they make a tax levy
in Carroll county for the support of the
institution located in Holmes county. On
September 3rd the board of supervisors
of Carroll county favorably passed on
this resolution and entered an order on
their minutes declaring their intention
to make levy for the support of the
institution. Thus Carroll county now is
part of our junior college, according
to Supt. P. H. Williams.
The action of these two boards of Car
roll county is the elimination of efforts
OF interested parties in both counties
during the past IL months. And the
action enables, far valuation back
ing the institution is concerned, '.s%.5tan-
dard Junior College to be maintained in
Holmes county. This is the assurance
made to the school authorities by the
State Junior College According Com
mission.
Interested school authorities and all
persons interested in education in both
counties are much gratified to know that
this section of Mississippi is keeping step
with other districts of the state in edu-
catonal opportunities. The fact that
we can maintain Standard Two-year
Junior College in our midst will enable
boys and girls of this section to receive
this two-year training at a great deal
less than half what it would cost them
at 4-year institution. For this reason,
if for no other, we should feel proud of
the opportunity we now have to support
this institution.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, May 15.-Slight weak
ness appeared in wheat deliveries
today owing to Liverpool's failure to
advance as expected, deferred
months we're held firm by reports
that growing crop is beginning to
show effects Of prolonged wet
weather. Weather news was re-
sponsible for higher corn prices.
Oats we're little changed.
At the opening wheat was 4
cent lower to Il cent higher, corn
was up % cent to q cent and oats
were unchanged to 1s cent higher.
Provisions were unchanged.
Export business in wheat has not
been as active this week as last,
indicating foreigners evidently ex-
pect still lower prices. Sentiment
here is mixed, but many traders
look for a further upward move
ment before any great weakness is
uncovered.
Farmers throughout most of
central corn belt are complaining
on delayed planting because of wet
fields. Crop is now about two
weeks late and this, with the ex-
cellent cash demand, is having a
flrming effect in future trade.
Eastern interests have been SELL

months receive fair support as trade
