H. Orkin. Faubus Sent Telegram By Barnett Ross R. Barnett, Jackson attorney and probable gubernatorial candidate, Tuesday sent Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas a telegram pledging his support in the fight to save constitutional govern- ment. The telegram reads: "The Supreme Court has defied the provisions of the Constitution that created it.

It has assumed original jurisdiction where the Constitution limits its powers to appellate jurisdiction. It has decided the Little Rock Privatel School question without the people of Arkansas having been given a day in court, a right to offer testimony, to cross examine witnesses or be heard in a court of competent jurisdiction as guaranteed to even a white citizen under the due process clauses of the Constitution. "This alarming decision causes intelligent people to wonder where we can now look for security and protection of our personal and property rights. The liberty loving people of the South, you may rest assured, will hold their purpose and their racial honor steady and prefer their racial interest i in spite of all. "The Almighty Hand that metes out the measure to us all has never yet held false balance.

We must all wed ourselves to everlasting truths which are the historical experience of our race and rise up in the strength of our consecrated might to take a stand for them. We have the truth as our strong right arm. To struggle for truth and right gives happiness to the just. I offer you my services in your courageous and worthy fight to save Constitutional government, the rights of the States, local self-government and the liberties of our people." Two Suspects Held In Sandersville Hold Up services. Born in Winston county on Feb.

5, 1895. He was the son of the late William Orgen Turner and Hester McCowan Turner. He was a farmer and was a member of Bethel Baptist Church. He leaves his wife Mrs. Denver Froshour Turner, son, William E.

Turner Jr. of Louisville; three daughters: Mrs. Roy Robertson of Pascagoula; Mrs. Joe Wedgeworth of Union; Mrs. Cam Quinn of Louisville; a stepmother Lucy Hindman Turner of Louisville and 13 grandchildren.

JACK ZILISH Mrs. Jack Zilish of 1603 Ivy Street died Tuesday afternoon at her home. She had been in failing health for several months. She was a native of Madison, the daughter of the late Alexander and Caroline Weill Wolff, a pioneer family of Jackson. Mrs.

Zilish was a member of LAUREL Two men were being held here Tuesday in connection with the Friday, Sept. 19 hold of the ticket booth at Sandersville field while the Sandersville High Calhoun High Football game was in progress. Sheriff Fred Walters identified the pair as Charles Edward Webb, 22, a Laurel man and Denver Hickson, 21, a resident of Route 4, Laurel. The sheriff Webb has been "positively identified" as the gunman in the holdup. Webb and Hickson were arrested Monday afternoon on a tip furnfished by Sergeant Ras Cochran, veteran Laurel patrolman, the sheriff said.

He said Cockran played an important role in the i investigation of the robbery from the moment that it was launched, soon after the bandits fled in an automobile with $145 of the ticket booth money. District Attorney Grover Doggette filed joint armed robbery charges against Webb and Hickson early Tuesday. Armed robbery is a capital offense that can carry the death penalty upon conviction in a Mississippi court, and persons so charged cannot be released under bail bond. Webb and Hickson, therefore, are being held without benefit of bail bond pending action of the Circuit Court grand jury, which reconvenes here next Monday. Sheriff Walters said Hickson also has been "positively as the gunman in a Monday night, Sept.

15 holdup, at Waynesboro. He said the in the Waynesboro holdup fled with $30 that was taken at gunpoint from a Mrs. Westberry and Baron Thomas, employees at the highway 45 Midway Curb Market, north of Waynesboro, and escaped in an old black Buick with a companion.
