W. L. Moss, ot Pineville, to place the
healing and plumbing apparatus in his
handsome new home. This home when

also contracted to do the plumbing for

Gives Opinion as to Women
Voting.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Barksdale Uamlett is of the opinion
that the act of 1012 granting school suf
frage to women did not bestow on them
the right to vole for candidates for
County School Superintendent, either
in the primary or election. According
to his construction, of the law the Leg
islature did not make the County Su
perintendent a common school district
official; but left him a county official.
to be voted for like any other county
official by the constitutionally qualified
voters. In a letter sent to a number of
candidates for County Superintendent
who sought his opinion he said;
"I favor now, as I always have, giv
ing the qualified women voters of the
Slate the right to vote in these elec
tions. I regret that the act of lvI2
appears, however, not to have been suf
ficient to bestow this right."
Grehan's Gritty Grindings.
(Paragraphs Lex. Herald.)
Large feet in white shoes peeping out
from under blue or black skirts, furnish
another instance wherein the fashion
writer who started the fad evidently
got off at the wrong slop.
If the June bride of the latter days of
the month had known that she was go
ing to be dissolved in her own personal
persipiation, the chances are that she
would have put off her Junebriding until
later.
If it is true as the headliner says, that
"Washington society women are to don
men's trousers in public," we are going
to include that town in our vacation
itinerary unless the "missus," who is
going along also, develops a contrary
and unsympathetic view.
A Chicago minister is authority for
the statement that a man with an in
come of $1,000 a day can not be relig
ious, but as a matter of fact a man with
that size income can be so "blamed"
agreeable he can keep the church folk
from saying ugly things about him if he
will only relax a bit when he sees the
contribution box coming down the
aisle.
Murderer of Harry Bowman
Captured.
Henderson Holt, who stabbed and
killed Harry Bowman, of Livingston,
two weeks ago, was arrested and taken
to the London jail Friday. The srest
was made by Thomas Clark and John
Hensley in JacKson county.
Clark and Hensley will recive a re
ward of (500 offered by Bowman's broth
er, Charles Bowman, and if Holt is con
victed they will receive $200 offered by
the State; Holt did not resist arrest,
declaring that he stabbed Bowman io
save his bis own life.
. The tragedy occurred at Cruize, Lau
rel county, at the place of "Uncle Wel
come" Mullins, where many sportsmen
visit each summer, and the trouble is
said to have arisen over Holt's stock
gelling into Rowman's orops.
Mr. Bowman was a cousin of L. T.
Wilson, of this city, and his remains
were interred here.
140,000,000 Lggs Are Brok
en Lach Year.
More than 140,000,000 eggs were bro
kenor were reported to the railroads as
broken at the New York freight ter
minals in the last year, it is estimated
by the United States Department of Ag
riculture. The flgprei were supplied by
me ranroaas, wnose tramo managers
say the egg breakage, real and false.
now approximates nine per cent, of all
the eggs shipped to New York.
Claims for broken eggs, the railroads
say, have become an intolerable burden,
leaving the roads no margin of profit.
The roads are fighting many of the
claims. They have appealed to the
United States officials, and the Federal
Grand Jury at New York is now inves
tigating an alleged plot by which the
roads have lost $2,000,000 in the past
few years by ogus claims of broken
eggs.
A number pf large commission houses
are in the plot, it is said. The story
told the grand jury is that the commis
sion men hired men to slip sharp egg
breaking instruments into several crates
in eaoh arriving oar-load of eggs.
