THE YAZOO CITY HERALD
DEFERREDLOCALS
A Few Items of General Interest Which
Were Unavoidably Crowded Oat
of Last Week's Issue
Information Wanted.
Jackson, Miss., Oct. 19, 1914.
Editor Herald: In " the Clarion
Ledger of Oct. 14, there u a Utter
addressed to the people of Mississippi
and signed by Walter Clark, in which
he advocates legislation to prohibit
the farmers from raising cotton nest
year.
Will you kindly permit me to ask
a few questions through the columns
of your paper for Mr. Calrk or some
other gentleman to explain, for the
information of the farmers, of which
I am one?
Questions for Information.
If they can prohibit the FARMER
from raising cotton by legislation, can
they not prohibit him from raising any
other product of the sell ?
If this can be done by law, why can
they not compel the cotton manufac
turers to buy the present cotton crop
at a living price to the farmer, and
also, compell them to put some of the
million of idle laborers to work in the
factories making this cotton into
clothing and selling it at cost for the
benefit of the half-clothed millions of
this country T
Mr. Clark also admits a prominent
fact, not generally understood, when
he raid "The Constitution never yet
etood between friends." For example!
Take the case of Mississippi versus
the Hinds Lumber Co., wherein the
State Supreme Court decided the
statutes limiting land holding in the
State to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL
in the case of the Hinds Lumber Co.,
but CONSTITUTIONAL against citi
zens of the State.
Mr. Clark also urges the people to
bold meetings at 10 a. m. on the, 20th
to sign petitions to the Governor, re
questing him to call a special session
of the legislature to pass this prohi
bitive legislation. If I remember cor
rectly, the Governor published a state
ment not long ago, saying, "The only
thing that would induce him to call
the present legislature in special sei
aion would be to combat an invasion
of outside enemies." It is to be hoped
be will stand firm by this statement
and not run the risk of having the
peoples' confidence entirely destroyed
In our present form cf government by
r-etnatmit of tMa risk IcgisJa
tion. Yours truly,
L. J. RAYMOND.

Operator
Saysk
If you wishiD attract the operator's
attention at any time during the con
nection, or if you wish to call another
number, move the hook up and down
SLOWLY three or four times.
Do not move the hook rapidly, as a
rapid movement does not give any sig
nal. When the operator says "Line
Busy," hang up the receiver and
wait a few minutes before
Circuit Court In Sein.
At the opening of the Court Thurs
day morning Judge Henry excelled
himself in his charge to the grand
Jury, clearly defining the duties which
the grand jury had upon them in in
vestigating all crime and the violation
of the law of any kind, and especially
in regards to the violation of the law
in regard to cattle dealers and butch
ers. The law is quite plain about this
mattrr and if enforced would be of
much rwlp to officers in doing their
duvy and a protection to the cattle
'owners. The whisky violators came in
for a share of condemnation and the
rofTWrs were admonished to see that
the violators of this law were brought
to justice. The worst and most per
nireous form of violations of the law
is the secret selling of cocaine, which
is being used to an alarming extent
and especially among the colored peo
ple.
He also urged upon them to not let
feeling prompt them cither in bring
ing in or suppressing an indictment,
but to do their duty as they saw it.
The grand jury is composed of the fol
lowing representative citizens of the
county: W. W. Cagle, J. W. Campbell,
J. W. Walker, E. .A Killebrew, J. J.
Martin, E. L. Stubblefield, D. A. Wil
liams, C. M. Broadaway, S. R. Dun
can, A. L. Shacklcford, Geo. Saxton,
W. W. Shelly, R. V. Tepper, S. R.
Manor, Battall Noble, E. A. Warren,
W. A. Davis, T. F Cartwright, C. C,
Bulrks, J. R. Cokcr. Mr. J. R. Cokcr
was unanimously elected foreman with
Mr. F. C. Wilson bailiff.
The most important suit which has
been decided was the P. C. Mitchell
suit in which a verdict for $10,000
was given Mr. Mitchell for injuries
received in a wreck on the Y. & M. V.
Railroad while a passenger. At first
Mr. Mitchell thought he was only
slightly bruised, but in a few days it
developed that he had received a more
severe hut than was thought as the
limb began to give serious trouble. Mr.
Mitchell was carried to Memphis and
an X-ray picture taken which showed
that his hip was fractured and in the
healing it causeoMhe limb to be two
inches shorter than it formerly was.
To say nothing of the suffering and
loss of time which he sustained. Mr.
Mitchell was represented by Barbour
&. Henry and the railroad by Barnett
& Perrin, Special Judge L. M. Burch
presiding, Judge Henry being dis
qualified by reason of his relation to
Barboja iVliry. ' ,
Mr. J. N. Cokcr Uses Ilia Home by
Fire.
Shortly after dark Saturday night,
the neighbors were attracted by a big
light, which upon investigation, proved
to be the handsome home of Mr. J. N.
Coker and as there was no one at home
everything wbb a total loss. Much
sympathy is felt for these good peo
ple in the loss of their home and al
though insured for a partial value,
in a fire like that many things burn
that ran never be replaced or money
could not buy. Mr. and Mrs. Coker
were only married last Wednesday
and in less than a week the home which
they were to spend the hnppiest part
of their lives was in ashes.
Miss Mollie Coker had gone to her
brother, Mr. R. J. Coker, near Eden
for r visit, and Mr. nnd Mrs. J. N.
ktvr bad come to the city to spend
Sunday with the mother of Mrs. Cok
er, Mrs. M. T. Smith.

By observing these pre
cautions you will help your

How many acres of oats and wheat
are you calculating on planting?
Don't make the mistake which many
of the Yazoo farmers have in the past
any try sowing it broadcast, but buy
one of the Feoria drills and plant it
so that it will stand the winter freezes
as it will be properly covered. Be
sure to remember that it is war times
and plant two acres where you plant
ed one last year. You won't regret it
if you use the Peoria drill, which does
the work scientifically.
Now is the time to make your cane
up into molasses, take our advice and
get the mill and evaporator which will
make your molasses better than the
best and then you will not have to say
no market, for when people buy they
usually get the very best for their
money. The managers of the Crane
Hamel Hardware Co. are studying
your interest and if you will call and
take a look and see what an advan
tage it will be to you to use the best
mills for your cane, there will be no
hestitation on your part.
Read their advertisement in this pa
per carefully, then inspect their good.3
and it will pay you.
