The bidding:
East South West North
Pass 20 Pass 2NT
Pass 80 Pass 40
Opening lead: Jack of diamonds.
When a crafty opponent lets you
win a trick to which you. are ap-
parently not entitled, it is wise to
scrutinize carefully his act of char
ity. The East in today's hand was
too gullible to realize that South in
making his donation was really an
Indian giver.
The opening bid of two hearts is
somewhat shaded, but believe it
to be the proper procedure. South
needs next to nothing from partner
to produce game AS little as the
queen of clubs might be enough
or club opening by the opposition.
West led the jack of diamonds
which was overtaken by East and
the suit continued, South ruffing.
Had the trumps been divided, there
would have been nothing to the
hand, since the seven of hearts would
become an entry to cash the long
spades. When the queen dropped on
the first lead of trumpS, that chance
disappeared. Another high trump
was led and East was permitted to
retain the ten of hearts. Declarer
cashed the ace and king of spades
and calmly continued with third
round of the suit This trick East
bounced upon vigorously, as though
he had stolen something from the
innocent Mr.. South. You know
there are Is trumps in every DEAL"
he volunteered for the opposition's
benefit. Yes" replied the canny
declarer, land one sucker in each
game"
When East won with the ten OF
hearts, he was obliged to return a
club. South ducked because he
knew that East did not have the ace.
(He had already shown up with the
top diamonds and if he also had the
ace of clubs he would not have
passed originality The ace of clubs
was forced out and now the seven
of hearts was an entry to dummy
to cash a good spade trick and dis
card a losing club.
East should have realized that
South was not being generous in
permitting him to make the 10 of
hearts when it could easily have
been extracted 1t must be to de-
clarer's benefit. Had he refused to
fall for the bait and not taken the
trick, South could not possibly have
made the hand, because he would
have been obliged to lose three club
tricks if he led the suit himself.

ubject for STUDY at a meeting of

Bv CYRIL E. CAIN
No. Is. The Debt Due to Early
Settlers and Officers

Sometimes tucked away in the
most unsupported place is found
a gem of such deep wisdom that
the reader is startled by its brill
lance. Embedded in the intro
duction to the first census report
for the United States, that of 1890.
is a statement of unsurpassed UNI
derstanding: ''The trainers of the
Constitution were the statesmen
and leaders of thought, but those
whose names appear in the sched-
ules of the First Census were in
general the plain citizens who by
their conduct in war and peace
made the Constitution possible
and by their intelligence and self
restraint put it into operation"
This sentence covers and explains
the conditions inherent in the
establishment of any new govern
ment and especially in a frontier
region.
The organization of a civil gov
eminent in the region rescued
from Spanish dominion in 1910
called for an ingenuity and de-
termination equal to that requir-
ed for a military campaign. Too
much credit cannot be given to
the early voters who Travelled
over long distance through I'M
broken forests and across un-
bridged streams just to vote. Nor
can the debt ever be paid to the
men who accepted from the Gov
ernor or the legislature the county
offices and made themselves re-
sponsible for law and order and
received practically no pay.
Tight" Government Needed
A tight civil government was
more necessary then than now
because of conditions peculiar to
frontiers. While the great major
itv Of the citizens were law abid-
ing and supported law and or
der, it was natural that there
were many temporary settlers
who were here because they re-
sented the restrictions of the or
ganized society from which they
had fled. That this semi-lawless
class was held under control or
made to move on was due to the
holders of the small offices and
to the support given by the citi-
Zens.
In no way could a county honor
itself more than to erect a plaque
inscribed with a roster of these
early civil heroes. Probably a
suitable legend to accompany
these names would be, "All honor
to these civil paratroopers who
established asbridgehead and held
it until civilization and democra-
could catch up"
An attempt is being made in
this article to construct a list of
the early officers of the Pasca-
goula river region. but no claim
is made that the list is complete.
AS far as the list goes it is anthem
tic. A few of these names have
been found in books but nearly
all are from the hand-Written re-

ports and commissions in the
State Department of Archives in
Jackson.
The lists are for three units,
the Parish of Pascagoula in the
Territory of Orleans, 1811-18l2,
the County of Mobile, and the
County of Jackson, both in Mis-
sissippi. The Mobile county or
~ganization lasted only from May
till December, 1912, while the
Jackson county lists cover the
territorial period, 1812-18l7, and
the period of the first state con-
stitution, 1817-1832.
In the beginning all county
officers except the members of
the legislature were appointed by
the governor or the legislature.
The first officers to be made cleo
tive were the sheriff and the cor
oner about 1922. The new con-
stitution in 1882 made all officers
elective and thus led the whole
United States in that respect.
Pascagoula Parish. In January.
1911, Governor Claiborne of the
Territory of Orleans appointed
George Farragut, who lived just
above Gautier, and Benjamin
Goodin, who lived farther UP the
river, to be justices of the peace.
Later in the year he appointed
Theophilus Powell, Zenon Orso,
Nicholas Cook, and Theophilus
Brightwell also TO be justices, but
since their names never occurred
on the tax lists of Jackson coun-
tv it is assumed that they were
for the Alabama area.
Mobile County. In May, 1912,
from the Pearl to the Perdido was
added to Mississippi and some
time later Governor Holmes
named the area Mobile county
and appointed officers for it. The
first officers were: Justices of the

Wheeler Gresham, Noel Jourdan,
and Robert Williamson; Justices
of the Peace George Davis and
Benjamin Youngblood; sheriff,
Ellis Fairbanks; coroner, John

STEEL PIPE LINES

The end of fighting in Europe brings
additional revelations of ingenious meth
DDS adopted in order to mount the invasion
of Normandy
One of the greatest problems of the
invading army was the possession of ado
quate supplies Of gasoline and oil. Il was
solved by 20 pipe lines laid under the Enc
iiSh channel, from Britain to France, which
SINCE last August have pumped 12O. OOO. 600
gallons of fuel under the Channel.
Three-inch steel pipes were wound on
drums, placed on ships and pulled off in
much the same manner that submarines
cables have been laid. The undertakiDr
was handled by the British The Unit.d
States Army had a similar project but ab2n-
doned it in order that all energies be con-
centrated on the British plan.
