Ex-Sen. Benjamin will plead guilty BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Former state senator Irb Benjamin of Alcorn County is expected to become the sixth person to plead guilty in Mississippi’s prison contract bribery scandal, court records show. Benjamin’s lawyer, Joe Hol-

lomon, filed notice Friday that Benjamin plans to plead guilty on Oct. 18 before U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate in Jackson. Indicted in August 2015, Benjamin is charged with paying bribes to former Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps. Benjamin faces one count

of honest services wire fraud and two counts of bribery. Friday’s filing doesn’t make clear to which charges Benjamin would plead guilty, but if he pleads guilty to all three, he could face up to 40 years in prison and up to $750,000 in fines. He is free on $10,000 bail. The charges say Benjamin

gave Epps bribes and kickbacks in exchange for the state selecting his company, Mississippi Correctional Management, to provide drug and alcohol treatment services to inmates at state work centers in Alcorn and Simpson counties. The company collected about $774,000, according to court documents.

The indictment also claims that Benjamin paid Epps in exchange for Epps’ helping the company obtain consulting contracts worth $862,000 overall from three counties: Alcorn, Washington and Chickasaw. Please see BENJAMIN | 6A

Three teens caught taking decorations BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Three Corinth teens captured on camera as they stole Halloween pumpkins and other decor will be headed to youth court. Over the weekend, a number of city and county residents had Halloween decor taken from their property. A little past 12 a.m. Monday, one of the complainants went outside and dis-

covered yard decor was missing. Corinth Police Department Capt. Dell Green said the resident reviewed home surveillance and posted it on social media, leading to identification of three females ages 15, 16 and 17. The police department began to receive reports from Please see THEFT | 2A

Caterers were out before the sun on Monday getting ready for Catfish & Khakis — the 11th annual fall fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club. Corinth-based caterer Brad Mattox has served up the food for the annual event for almost 10 years now. Mattox and his crew were out at 5 a.m. preparing slaw and hushpuppies.

“We try to do this pretty close to our cost so they can make some money on the food,” said caterer Mattox. “This year it looks like we’ll have about 400 or 450 to turn out.” Corinth Unit Director Trecee Hughey said the club staﬀ and volunteers are very thankful that the community has once again supported the club. “We aim high to provide the children with positive pro-

grams leading them to productive, bright futures,” she said. State Representative and Boys & Girls Club board member Nick Bain showed up for the fundraising luncheon and left carrying a tall stack of plates to go. “This is a great event to get people out to support a good cause,” said Bain. “It’s always a Please see FUNDRAISER | 2A

Hurst crowned homecoming queen BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — The joy of being homecoming queen at McNairy Central High School has probably never been more overwhelming than Friday with the crowning of Sara Jo Hurst. The petite senior has to be the most popular choice ever to wear the crown as McNairy Central’s football homecoming queen. There was applause, cheers and more than a few tears when her name was announced as the homecoming queen. Hurst, 17, has dealt with Costello syndrome since birth. She is the daughter of Clint and Mindy Hurst. Sara Jo has two sisters, Jessica Edwards and Rachel Hurst, and a brother, River Hurst. River is a sopho-

more at MCHS. Costello syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that aﬀects many parts of the body. It is characterized by delayed development, distinctive facial features, unusually flexible joints and heart problems. Infants with Costello grow slowly and have problems feeding. “The football players will never know how much it means to my family that they nominated Sarah Jo to be in the homecoming court,” said her emotional mother. “Clint and I can never thank those boys enough for what they have done for her.” Football seniors chose Sara Jo as one of their two representatives in homecoming. Each class of football players gets to nominate their two members for homecoming. The football

team chooses “sweetheart” and the entire student body votes on “queen.” “She has been floating in the clouds since she found out about being nominated,” said Mindy. “I asked her if she was going to ever come back down to Earth.” While many young people today are thought to not be compassionate to their fellow students, this year’s senior Bobcats have shown they have a heart to honor their classmate. Sara Jo is around four foot tall and weighs around 55 pounds. A small body is part of any person with Costello. “We were all tickled to death when we found out that Sara Jo had been nominated to be Please see QUEEN | 6A

Tennessee River Run concert returns Saturday BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

SAVANNAH, Tenn. — Supporting his charitable foundation, Darryl Worley’s 15th Annual Tennessee River Run will return to downtown Savannah on Saturday, Oct. 8. “When I decided to start this whole thing, I didn’t have a clue what I was getting myself into,” said Worley during his 2016 Tennessee River Run Media Day, held at the historic Savannah Theatre. “I don’t know if I thought it would last this long, but here we are 15 years later and I believe it’s because we’re doing something amazing and good and that it’s been blessed.” Keeping his focus on that which is most important, the 52-year-old plans to make the most of 2016 by continuing the work he started in the beginning. “I have a lot of ideas and projects that I’m looking into,” said Worley.

In addition to discussing future plans, the country music artist expressed his excitement for this year’s lineup which includes performances by Kellie Pickler, Randy Houser and Chuck Wicks. “We have confirmed those three artists, but will also have a lot of regional and local artists as well.” he said. “I truly believe we are going to draw more people from surrounding areas with this

lineup than ever before, if we play it right.” In anticipation of yet another successful event, the gates of the Tennessee River Run will open at noon with the concert beginning at 3:30 p.m. Guests at the fundraising concert will have the opportunity to shop for food and crafts as they enjoy an afternoon of live music and fellowship. Named after Worley’s 2003 hit song, the con-

cert is one of many events that will raise money to help fund the projects of the Darryl Worley Foundation, including The Leader in Me program and working with Hardin County Healthcare Foundation and Aspell Recovery Center in the fight against drug and alcohol addiction. Previous years of the Tennessee River Run have raised more than $1.6 million for the Dar-

ryl Worley Foundation, which has met needs for people in the Mid-South since 2002. In addition to providing funds to help battle drug and alcohol addiction and supporting The Leader in Me program for students and the Darryl Worley Cancer Treatment Center, the foundation has contributed to many nonprofits. They include, but are not limited to, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, LeB-

onheur Research Hospital and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Tickets for this year’s River Run are $25 each for adults. Children age 12 and younger will be admitted free. (For more information and for tickets call 731926-2667 or visit www. tnriverrun.org. Additional info can be obtained on the River Run Facebook at www.facebook.com/ TennesseeRiverRun.)

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Oct. 5, the 279th day of 2016. There are 87 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 5, 1986, in an incident that helped expose the Iran-Contra affair, a plane secretly ferrying supplies to Nicaraguan Contra rebels was shot down over southern Nicaragua by Sandinista forces. One of the plane’s occupants, Eugene Hasenfus, parachuted to safety while three other men were killed. Hasenfus was captured, tried and convicted in Nicaragua, but then was pardoned and allowed to return to the United States.

On this date: In 1931, Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon completed the first non-stop flight across the Pacific Ocean, arriving in Washington state some 41 hours after leaving Japan. In 1947, President Harry S. Truman delivered the first televised White House address as he spoke on the world food crisis. In 1969, the British TV comedy program “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” made its debut on BBC 1. In 1970, British trade commissioner James Richard Cross was kidnapped in Canada by militant Quebec separatists; he was released the following December. In 1974, the Irish Republican Army bombed two pubs in Guildford, Surrey, England, resulting in five deaths and dozens of injuries. (Four men who became known as the Guildford Four were convicted of the bombings, but were ultimately vindicated.) In 1984, the space shuttle Challenger blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center on an 8-day mission; the crew included Kathryn D. Sullivan, who became the first American woman to walk in space, and Marc Garneau, the first Canadian astronaut. In 1988, Democrat Lloyd Bentsen lambasted Republican Dan Quayle during their vice-presidential debate, telling Quayle, “Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.” In 1990, a jury in Cincinnati acquitted an art gallery and its director of obscenity charges stemming from an exhibit of sexually graphic photographs by the late Robert Mapplethorpe. Ten years ago: The House ethics committee opened an investigation into the unfolding congressional page sex scandal that resulted in the resignation of U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla. (The panel later issued a report that was critical of Republican lawmakers and aides, but which also found that no rules had been broken.) Five years ago: Steve Jobs, 56, the Apple founder and former chief executive who’d invented and master-marketed ever sleeker gadgets that transformed everyday technology from the personal computer to the iPod and iPhone, died in Palo Alto, California. Rev. One year ago: The United States, Japan and 10 other nations in Asia and the Americas reached agreement on the landmark Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

Columbus Truck runs into side of train; driver dies COLUMBUS (AP) — A municipal spokesman says a pickup truck skidded 62 feet into the side of a train in Mississippi, crushing the truck and killing the driver. According to police, the driver was a 52-yearold man. His name was being withheld until his family is notified. City of Columbus spokesman Joe Dillon said part of the truck was caught under the train and that traffic on Main Street was stopped for five hours following the crash, which happened at 3:25 a.m. Tuesday. WCBI-TV reported that the truck was completely crushed.

Harlem Legends cancels event BY BOBBY J. SMITH bsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Organizers have canceled the Harlem Legends event scheduled for Saturday at Crossroads Arena. “Unfortunately, due to low ticket sales, we have made the decision to cancel the show,” said Marian Caldwell, a representative of the Harlem Legends Basketball Entertainers. All who purchased tick-

ets for the event may receive a refund at the point of purchase. Caldwell gave a special thanks to Crossroads Arena General Manager Tammy Genovese for giving the Harlem Legends a the opportunity to play Corinth. She also hopes for a future chance to bring the Harlem Legends to Corinth. “Maybe in the future if there is an organiza-

tion or school that would like to invite us in for a fundraiser, we can then come into Corinth,” said Caldwell. A portion of the proceeds from the Harlem Legends event were to benefit selected schools and organizations in Alcorn County.

The Harlem Legends is a group of professional athletes from various backgrounds, including the Harlem Globetrotters, that does shows around the country for fundraising and other efforts. They are led by former Globetrotter Michael Douglas.

Local papers are essential to community BY LANE BRUCE Miss. Press Association

Several years ago cyberspace was frenzied over many popular websites going dark for 24 hours to protest a federal bill meant to crack down on video piracy. The Stop Online Piracy Act – or SOPA – was a controversial and perhaps misguided effort championed by the Motion Picture Association of America to end illegal online sharing of copyrighted material, primarily movies and music. To protest SOPA and its potential threats to the First Amendment, Wikipedia, Google, Reddit and – heaven forbid – I Can Haz Cheezburger, among many others, shut down for a 24-hour period to show the web-surfing world what it would be like without its daily fix of photos of cats riding in baby strollers. SOPA was eventually defeated, but a strong, valid point was made. We had come to rely on those websites for information and entertainment. Their value to internet users was unquestioned. Now imagine your own corner of the world without its local newspaper. At first, you might not notice much difference if the daily or weekly paper failed to show up in your driveway or mailbox, or on your computer screen or smartphone. Rather quickly, a good fraction of the internet itself would go dark again. This time involuntarily. If you’ve never noticed, the web and thousands of sites are populated by millions of stories and photos produced by local journalists. There’d be gaping holes on sites like Google and even Facebook where newspaper content is consumed and shared. And soon an oily sheen would start to coat all the surfaces in town. With the watchdog off duty, things would start to go awry. The sunlight of transparency would inevitably set. That’s because a terrific amount of content that seems birthed magically of the digital age actually starts out as the scribblings or recordings of intrepid community reporters at city halls, school board meetings and statehouses nationwide and around the world. And without their efforts, many officials would find it too tempting and much too easy to fudge the rules on public meetings, open records and a multitude of other rights to which taxpayers are entitled. For instance, just here in Mississippi taxpayers may never have known the full story about the public hospital on the Gulf Coast that had squandered the pensions of its employees. City officials in a northeastern community of the state may have decided it’s simply too convenient or expedient to not hold all their meetings in private. Why shouldn’t they, the council members and attorneys might shrug. Not many people show up to the meetings anyway. I’ll be honest, covering the public board meetings is not glamorous work. It can be rather tedious, actually. But like plumbing a toilet, sometimes a job is undervalued until there’s no one willing or able to do the work. That’s not to say the job of a community journalist is unpleasant (despite some national polls that will tell you as much); it’s often one of the best in town, full of its own rewards. But it certainly can be – and often is – taken for granted. Oct. 2-8 is National Newspaper Week, a time when those of us who work on behalf of newspaper media will make an extra effort to sing the praises of community journalists and the work they do for all of us. Literally, in towns, counties, parishes and provinces across North America, your local newspaper is the way to know what’s going on in the world around us. We’re not under any illusion our work will ever be as popular as that video of the tabby playing the piano. But we’re still proud of what we do. And we hope you can be, too. Layne Bruce is executive director of the Mississippi Press Association and president of Newspaper Association Managers, Inc., which annually sponsors National Newspaper Week. His email address is lbruce@ mspress.org.

Prayer for today Almighty God, I would ask thee that my days be filled with aspiration, and that my heart may know no envy. Help me to love humanity. May I be so glad of the success of others that I may never know what it is to be envious. Amen.

A verse to share “Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar oﬀ.” –Psalms 138:6

Voters reject ‘World as One’ “The president believes the world will be a better place if all borders are eliminated -- from a trade perspective, from the viewpoint of economic development and in welcoming people from other cultures and countries.” That’s a paraphrase of a speech former President Bill Clinton made only months after leaving oﬃce, on Sept. 10, 2001, in Melbourne, Australia. There’s apparently no transcript; the quotation is from the businessman who hosted the forum, appearing in an article in the next day’s Melbourne newspaper, which, thanks to time zone diﬀerences, was about 12 hours before the airliners hit the twin towers. The words are an interesting indicator of a general attitude, a prevailing sentiment taken largely for granted not just by Democrats and Americans like Clinton but also by elite leaders of many parties in the advanced democracies around the world. Call it Lennonism, after John Lennon’s lyrics in “Imagine.” “Imagine there’s no countries,” Lennon sang. “Nothing to kill or die for. ... Imagine all the people living life in peace. ... And the world will be as one.” It’s an appealing vision but perhaps an odd one for someone born, as Lennon was, when and where the Battle of Britain was raging in the

skies overhead. Today, 15 years after Clinton’s talk in Melbourne, Michael L e n n o n Barone ism remains the credo of Columnist many elite leaders but is in grave trouble with voters. Examples A and B are the so-called comprehensive immigration reform legislation, backed by both George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and the campaign to keep Britain in the European Union, led by Prime Minister David Cameron. Both failed. The key provision of the immigration bills was to legalize the presence of many or most of the estimated (by the Pew Research Center) 11 million to 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States before border and workforce enforcement provisions could take eﬀect. Both parties had political motives for this. Democrats favored it because they figured most undocumented immigrants would vote for their party. Many Republicans, notably Bush, favored it because they didn’t want to see Texas and Florida go the way of California -- where immigrant votes seemed to have made a Republican-leaning state safely Democratic. What both ignored is that

many voters think that borders and laws should mean what they say. American citizenship should be reserved, they think, for those inclined to obey American laws. Legalizing undocumented immigrants’ status without assurance of future enforcement, they argue plausibly, would incentivize further waves of illegal immigration. Clinton has indicated she would legalize the presence of millions of undocumented immigrants and would deport no immigrants who have not broken any laws other than immigration laws. Apparently, she has not repudiated her Ohio campaign’s tweet, in response to Donald Trump’s statement that “no one has a right to immigrate to this country”: “We disagree.” That’s pure Lennonism -- no borders. Current polling suggests she’s likely to win in November. But comprehensive immigration legislation still looks like a goner. Most Americans don’t want all borders eliminated. Britain’s Cameron -- a product, like the Clintons and the Bushes, of elite universities -- staked his prime ministership on persuading British voters to go along with a status quo in which unelected European Union commissions and courts could overturn British laws and compel Parliament to pass unwanted legislation.

Cameron and financial elites made dire predictions that Brexit -- leaving the EU -- would damage Britain’s economy. They acknowledged that EU diktats could be irritating but implicitly accepted that the EU leaders’ goal of an “ever closer union” was inevitable. Fifty-two percent of a record turnout of British voters thought otherwise. Almost everywhere outside inner London and Scotland, majorities voted to take the economic risk and to give control of Britain’s borders back to its voters’ elected representatives. Cameron resigned and was replaced by Theresa May, who opposed leaving the EU but now says that “Brexit means Brexit.” Obama believes that “the arc of history” bends in the Lennonist direction. It might be nice if it did. But continued terrorist attacks since the day after Bill Clinton spoke in Melbourne, like the bombs raining down on Britain as John Lennon was born, leave plenty of reason to doubt that the world is ready to “live as one.” Daily Corinthian columnist Michael Barone is senior political analyst for The Washington Examiner, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Fox News Channel contributor and a co-author of The Almanac of American Politics.

Dunbar School looks back a century One hundred years ago, on October 2, 1916, a new public high school building for black youngsters was opened in Washington, D.C. and named for black poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. Its history is a story inspiring in many ways and appalling in many other ways. Prior to 1916, the same high school had existed under other names, housed in other buildings -- and with a remarkable academic record. In 1899, when it was called “the M Street School,” a test was given in Washington’s four academic public high schools, three white and one black. The black high school scored higher than two of the three white high schools. Today, it would be considered Utopian even to set that as a goal, much less expect to see it happen. The M Street School had neither of two so-called “prerequisites” for quality education. There was no “diversity.” It was an all-black school from its beginning, and on through its life as a high quality institution under the name Dunbar High School. But its days as a high qual-

ity institution ended abruptly in the middle of the 1950s. After that, it became just Thomas another failSowell ing ghetto school. Columnist The other so-called “prerequisite” that the M Street School lacked was an adequate building. Its student body was 50 percent larger than the building’s capacity, a fact that led eventually to the new Dunbar High School building. But its students excelled even in their overcrowded building. Some students at the M Street School began going to some of the leading colleges in the country in the late 19th century. The first of its graduates to go to Harvard did so in 1903. Over the years from 1892 to 1954, thirty-four of the graduates from the M Street School and Dunbar went on to Amherst. Of these, 74 percent graduated from Amherst and 28 percent of these graduates were Phi Beta Kappas. Other graduates from M Street High School and Dunbar

became Phi Beta Kappas at Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and other elite institutions. Graduates of this same high school pioneered as the first black in many places. These included the first black man to graduate from Annapolis, the first black woman to receive a Ph.D. from an American institution, the first black federal judge, the first black general, the first black Cabinet member and, among other notables, a doctor who became internationally renowned for his pioneering work in developing the use of blood plasma. How could all of this come to an abrupt end in the 1950s? Like many other disasters, it began with good intentions and arbitrary assumptions. When Chief Justice Earl Warren declared in the landmark 1954 case of “Brown v. Board of Education” that racially separate schools were “inherently unequal,” Dunbar High School was a living refutation of that assumption. And it was within walking distance of the Supreme Court. A higher percentage of Dunbar graduates went on

to college than the percentage at any white public high school in Washington. But what do facts matter when there is heady rhetoric and crusading zeal? For Washington, the end of racial segregation led to a political compromise, in which all schools became neighborhood schools. Dunbar, which had been accepting outstanding black students from anywhere in the city, could now accept only students from the rough ghetto neighborhood in which it was located. Virtually overnight, Dunbar became a typical ghetto school. Today, there is a new Dunbar High School building, costing more than $100 million. But its graduates go on to college at only about half the rate of Dunbar graduates in earlier and poorer times. Politics can deliver costly “favors,” even when it cannot deliver quality education.

CORINTH GAS & WATER DEPARTMENT Celebrates National Public Natural Gas Week Corinth Gas & Water Department will observe the national Public Natural Gas Week from October 2 – 8. This annual nationwide event is intended to build public awareness about the value of having a community-owned natural gas utility. During this week, we will also educate residents on the environmental and cost benefits of using clean, reliable and affordable natural gas in addition to the cost benefits of natural gas appliances. There are approximately 1,000 public natural gas systems serving more than 5 million customers. These public natural gas utilities are not-for-profit retail distribution entities that are owned by and accountable to the citizens they serve. They include municipal gas distribution systems, public utility districts, county districts, and other public agencies that have natural gas distribution facilities. Your public natural gas utility is good for the community for many reasons including: x Local Control: Having a public natural gas system gives a community local control over how gas is provided to homes and businesses. Decisions are made through citizen participation instead of being made in a distant city by people who do not understand local issues and who are primarily focused on profits instead of service. x Competitive Costs: In order to offer fair and competitive rates, public natural gas systems operate as a not-for-profit entity. Public natural gas systems do not face pressure to pay dividends to stockholders. x Economic Benefits: As a public natural gas system, we play a valuable role in helping communities broaden its tax base, and in turn improve the local economy and increase jobs. Public natural gas systems ensure that local dollars stay at home. x Customer Service: As a not-for-profit entity, we focus on service, rather than profits. Public natural gas systems are an integral part of a community. We maintain a close relationship with our customers, and as a result, we are successful in meeting our customers’ needs.

Kaine attacks, Pence fights back in VP debate BY JULIE PACE AND THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press

FARMVILLE, Va. — Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine aggressively challenged Indiana Gov. Mike Pence over a long list of Donald Trump’s controversial positions and statements Tuesday night, drawing a vigorous defense from the Republican No. 2 on Trump’s tax history. But Pence left Trump’s demeaning comments about women, Barack Obama’s citizenship and broader questions about temperament go largely unchallenged.

Pence and Kaine, who have received little attention in a race focused on Trump and Hillary Clinton, faced oﬀ for 90 minutes in the only vice presidential debate of the campaign. With the close White House race perhaps starting to tip in Clinton’s favor, Pence outlined a detailed conservative agenda on tax policy, entitlements and immigration. He was strikingly more prepared and more detailed in his answers than Trump was in last week’s first presidential debate. He was also more consistent in painting the

Democratic ticket as career politicians unwilling to shake up Washington. There was a striking difference in the two men’s manner. Kaine, Clinton’s usually easygoing No. 2, went on the attack from the start, repeatedly interrupting and challenging Pence. Pence, an equally genial politician, was unflappable. Kaine pressured Pence to answer for some of his running mate’s provocative statements, using Trump’s own words such as dismissing some women as pigs or slobs. He also challenged Pence on

Trump’s decision to break with decades of campaign tradition by not releasing his taxes. “Donald Trump must give the American public his tax returns to show he’s prepared to be president, and he’s breaking his promise,” Kaine said. Asked about reports that Trump might not have paid any federal taxes for years, Pence said his running mate “used the tax code just the way it’s supposed to be used, and he did it brilliantly.” Records obtained by The New York Times showed Trump suﬀered

more than $900 million in losses in 1995 that could have allowed him to avoid paying federal income taxes for as many as 18 years. Kaine, too, defended his running mate’s weaknesses, chiefly the public’s questions about her honesty and trustworthiness. He said that while Trump was “selfish,” Clinton had devoted her career to helping children and families. On national security, Kaine revived Trump’s frequently flattering comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin. “He loves dictators,”

Kaine said. “He’s got like a personal Mount Rushmore: Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Moammar Gadhafi and Saddam Hussein.” Pence tried to flip the tables by accusing Kaine’s running mate of stoking Russia’s belligerence. “The weak and feckless foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has awaked an aggression in Russia that first appeared in Russia a few years ago,” Pence said. “All the while, all we do is fold our arms and say we’re not having talks anymore.”

alized that her name had been called over the PA was priceless. She was so excited at that time that she was almost overcome with emotion. “Sara Jo does not miss anything and it is hard to keep a secret from her,” Mindy said. “I told after the announcement that I had kept one secret from her.” Sara Jo was born in 1998. She was not diagnosed with Costello until 2005 at a conference in St. Louis. A heart surgeon in Boston had told Sara Jo’s parents in 2000 that she thought Sara Jo had Costello. There are believed to be only 400 Costello patients in the world with

the syndrome, but there are two in McNairy County. Emma Cosby is the other young person with the syndrome. Mindy ordered Sara Jo’s dress at Pennie Lane Formals without asking the price of the dress. She got a pleasant surprise when she called the store this week to find out what she owed them. An estimate is the dress would cost between $200 and $300. “They told me that someone had anonymously paid for the dress when I called them this week,” Mindy said. “I could not believe someone had paid for the dress and did not want us to know.”

versations with people who were allegedly bribing him, records show. Epps faces up to 23 years after pleading guilty to money laundering and filing false tax returns related to $1.47 million in bribes prosecutors say he took. He is forfeiting $1.7 million in assets. Cecil McCrory, a former state House member, pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering conspiracy and faces up to 20 years. He’s also forfeiting $1.7 million in assets. Their sentencing has been delayed. Benjamin now resides in Madison. The following also have pleaded guilty, according to court records:

— Mark Longoria, the head of a Texas company that sold specimen cups to the prison system, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of conspiracy over bribes paid to Epps out of consulting fees that Longoria’s company paid McCrory. — Sam Waggoner, a prison phone consultant, pleaded guilty to bribing Epps. — Robert Simmons, a Harrison County political operative, pleaded guilty to passing bribes from a prison medical contractor to Harrison County Supervisor William Martin. Martin killed himself in 2015, hours before he was due in court on bribery charges.

Trump’s down-ballot impact disputed by Democrats, GOP BY ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — From Minnesota to the San Diego suburbs, Democrats are throwing millions of dollars into TV ads tethering House Republican candidates to Donald Trump. They say the strategy is buoying their quest for big gains in the chamber in this November’s elections. Republicans discount the impact their presidential nominee will have on House races, saying voters distinguish between Trump’s unconventional candidacy and local, familiar congressional hopefuls. And they’re firing back with ads tying Democratic House candidates to Hillary Clinton in Maine, Michigan and elsewhere. There’s no doubt that Trump’s incendiary criticisms of women, Hispanics and others have raised Democrats’ prospects for gains, especial-

ly in suburban districts and those with well-educated or minority voters. Their hopes rose further following Trump’s lamentable week in which he performed poorly in a debate against Clinton, repeatedly mocked former Miss Universe Alicia Machado for gaining weight and dealt with the fallout from The New York Times report that he declared enough business losses in 1995 to potentially avoid paying federal taxes for 18 years. The big question is whether Trump can give Democrats enough ammunition for an unlikely gain of 30 House seats, enough for majority control. They say Trump helps them across the nation, but concede that his usefulness to their congressional candidates has limits. “Donald Trump is defining this election,” said Kelly Ward, executive director of the Democratic

Congressional Campaign Committee, House Democrats’ political arm. But she said choosing a campaign strategy varies by district, and it “may or may not include Donald Trump.” From this election cycle’s start in January 2015 through last Wednesday, Democrats and their allies spent nearly $7 million on almost 10,000 broadcast TV spots using Trump in 22 House districts, according to Kantar Media’s political ad tracker. Republicans and their supporters spent more than $4.5 million mentioning Clinton in ads that ran almost 10,500 times, also in 22 districts, Kantar Media figures show. Among Democrats, the DCCC alone aired nearly 4,000 spots costing around $2.3 million — more money and spots tying House Republicans to Trump than any other Democratic group.

All three counties built regional jails, which had to be certified by the American Correctional Association before being paid to house state inmates. Benjamin was supposed to help those counties get and keep that certification, according to the indictment. Though Benjamin lived about 200 miles away, he was paid as warden of the jail in his native Alcorn County until he resigned in November 2014, according to court documents. He lived there while a state senator from 1980 to 1992, later moving to suburban Jackson. Benjamin is alleged by authorities in the court documents to have paid monthly kickbacks to Epps out of consulting fees from a company hired in 2014 to help maintain prisons. The indictment alleges that Benjamin made regular cash payments of $1,000 to $2,000 to Epps beginning in 2010, in exchange for Epps’ influence. It states that for three months in 2014, Benjamin was getting $2,000 a month from the company and passing on $600 to Epps. By that time, Epps was already cooperating with prosecutors, taping some con-
