ed down the iron runway which was
wet, he slipped. The fall plunged his
leg into hole in the platform and COM
bined with his weight caused his right
leg to break the timbers, his leg going
into the opening up to his knee. This

brennan and Black
Become TOreadOrs

| T. U. Black and W. A. (Gus) brennan
may embark to Mexico and engage in
"bull fighting" proper following an ex-
perience of the past week in which an
escapade with a wild, infuriated bull
occupied their whole attention, aided by
about 35 negroes and every dog they
could muster into the handling of the
animal in an attempt to place him in a
pasture on the Love farm. The battle
lasted for hours and spread out over
miles.
Mr.. Black stated the owner he pur-
chased the animal from told him he was
bad, but that he failed to tell him just
how ferocious he was, with a result
that when he united him until he was
killed hours later, they had their lives
threatened, fences torn down, scores of
people chased, some of them knocked
down and trampled, even to upsetting
wagons and running folks into bitches
and under corn cribs to dodge his savage
charges.
Mr.. Black and also Mr.. brennan are
their encounter with the wild animal,
not to mention the damage done to
others and properties of the neighbor-
hood before the bull was finally killed.
The stated that the male was the worst
charge they had ever tried to handle
and are happy that no one was killed |
in the experience undergone.

Grenada Conference
HonOrs Memory Beloved
Layman, r. E. Wilburn

| The following resolution was adopted
| by standing vote of the Grenada Dis
| trict Conference held at Oxford April
| 2S, 1882, honoring the late r. E. Wilburn,
beloved religious leader of the confer
| ence and prominent in its activities for
many years:
RESOLUTIONS
BLESSED is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the unpodlv. nor
standeth in the way of sinners, not
sltteth IN the seat of the scornful: but
his delight is in the law of the Lord and
| in MS law doth he mediate day and
night"
This was the life of our beloved friend.
R. E. Wilburn, whose passing has
caused shadow of gloom over our en-
| tire conference. For many years Bro
Wilburn served his church and com
munity we'll. He was ever ready to
carry more than his share of the load
and whether in his position as Chair
man of the Board of Stewards. teacher
of Sunday School class, trustee of his
local church, District Steward, District
Trustee, or in whatever official capacity
he was chosen to serve. his heart was
III hio WI n, his lullueTCe IOT ROOU was
felt and no brief historical sketch can
give an account of the good he ac-
complished and the influence of his life
for good upon all with whom he came
In contract. Bro. Wilburn was fearless,
capable and lovable. He loved his
church, his Lord, his family and his
fellow man. Surely we can say that
he needed the admoniton "To do Justly,
and to Love Mercy, and to walk humbly
with thy God"
Therefore be it resolved by the Dis
trict Conference of the Grenada District;
First; That in the passing of this our
brother, the Grenada District has lost
one of its most loyal and useful men,
bers, notable for his faithfulness, his
deep Christian modesty.
Second: That our personal appreca-
tion Of him and our memory of our
association with him in Christian Fellow
ship constitutes treasure which enriches
all our lives and inspires us to emulate
in our own lives the virtues we so
priced in him.
Third; That we extend to his family
and all to whom he was endeared by
his blood and mutual devotion, the as
surance of our deep and heartfelt SYM
pathy in their great loss
Fourth; That copy of these reso-
lutions be spread upon the minutes of
our conference and that copy be sent
to mis- bereaved family.

Consolidating State
Agricultural Units
Economical Measure

The reorganization and consolidation
of Mississippi's numerous agricultural
agencies, desirable at all times to pre-
vent conflicting and duplicating actvi-
| ties, is an economic necessity at this
time when expenses of state government
must be reduced to the minimum, accord
ing to j. c. Holton, commissioner of
agriculture.
1.-The Legislature now has before it
two measures seeking this end One of
them, House Bill 676, proposes that all
agricultural activities be allied with
Mississippi State College, and creates
new department of agriculture as a
uper-organizaton with eight divisions.
1t continues the plant board and live
stock sanitary board by placing the
the work under college professors. It's
newly created director is given auto
cratic powers in selecting and fixing
the salaries of experiment station
workers, county agents, inspectors, and
all other agricultural workers except
college professors named as division
heads. 1t abolishes the State Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
"Senate Bill 2s1, which passed the
Senate by a vote of 35 to 5, transfers
to the college all educational work that
rightfully belongs there, and assigns to
the State Department of Agriculture, in
addition to its present work of ad-
ministering the feed, fertilizer, cotton
seed meal and gasoline control laws and
the publication of the Market Bulletin,
the further duty of administering the
regulatory functions of the plant board
and the livestock sanitary board. In SO
doing, it gives to Mississippi state
department of agriculture comparable
in major respects to that of North Caro-
lima, Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, and
Louisiana. 1t centralizes authority in
a public official elected last summer
for term of four years, and will save
the taxpayers $250,000 biennially with
out sacrificing necessary agricultural
activities.
"The State Department OF Agriculture
has been department of the state gov
ernment since 1906. It's activities are
widespread, of high Importance, and
have been economically administered. 1t
has rot contributed to the state deficit,
rather, during the past two years it
collected and turned into the state treas
ury 1851, 200, while the entire cost Of all
its work was only $4,000. The House
Bill would destroy this useful depart
ment, retain in office those who have
of public funds, turn law enforcement
activities over to college professors, set
up a new department headed by newly
created official with autocrat powers
all under the guise of economy"

Why Wait On Europe

is no doubt true the economic situation in Europe
has an important effect conditions in the United
States, but the idea that this country can not get
back to something approaching normal prosperity until
Europe is rehabiliated like putting the be-
fore the horse.
1t has been generally agreed that only about 10
per cent of our products ordinarily sold in the
world markets. Suppose all of that 10 per cent OF
foreign trade cut off. We would still have de-
mand for 80 per cent of output-and even 80 per
cent prosperity would be welcome right now.
We have not that 80 per cent demand at present,
because we have been worrying much about Europe
that it afraid to go forward ourselves
we might do if the element of fear eliminated
If every American factory could command the
capital to go to work rs per cent basis i'm
mediatey the wages thereby earned by those at
ent unemployed would greatly add to the nations buy
ing power and the stimulating effect of this would
tend to every element of our national life.
The new reconstruction finance corporation to be
organized with government support may aid in start
ing business and industry the up grade again. But
it will also take greater confidence and courage the
part of the people at large place the high road
to economic recovery. And it would be just WE'LL
in the meantime to think about America and less
about Europe.
