BE: Have schools changed much, education changed much, over the years?

BW: Well, of course I'm sort of old-timey about that. I believe in every kid knowing his ABC's and I believe in knowing how to read, write particularly. I believe in teaching them sort of how to write. I believe in thoroughness, which looks like to me that we', in our education, are probably traveling too fast-going faster than we should. I went one year to prep school up in Tennessee and I there learned how to study and I found that you had to understand what you were studying not memorize it- you had to understand it. I don't think we have enough understanding of what they are teaching out here. They're teaching it too fast and getting 'em out.

BE: Do you think there's a discipline program in school nowadays too?

BW: Well, there is no discipline, hardly in colleges. They're on their own. They do as they please, whatever they want to do. It looks like they are going wild, but in local schools, I think they maintain a fairly good disciplinary program. That's what they do. It looks like it to me. I think the local schools, the lower grades and up to and maybe through the high school, I think they try to set a real nice program.

BE: Do you think because there is no compulsory education, do you think that it hurts?

BW: Let me get back to where I'm prejudiced again, don't you see. No, I think it is bad, but I think it's the only answer for us. I think sooner or later we're going to have to face but we're going to have to

face it head on. Yea, that's what I think.

BE: I've heard that Mrs. Worsham's family was the Boones? Is that right?

BW: Yes.

BE: Do you remember anything interesting about them?

BW: Yes, Mr. Boone was my father-in-law, of course, and he's one of the best lawyers I ever knew.

BE: He was in law too?

BW: Yes, I was in partnership with him and in his office for twenty years or longer. He was a great man, a great citizen. As I said, I believe he's the best all-around lawyer I ever knew and I've known em by the hundreds, and I know a good lawyer when I see one and when I watch them operate. He was at home in justice court, circuit court, equity and chancery court, federal court, supreme--court...

BE: Just anywhere?

BW: Anywhere, he was at home-and in any location. We had the railroad, the Mobile and Ohio for instance, through the whole state of Mississippi and we went up and down the road there--had forty or fifty courts a year, don't you see-they feared him everywhere.

BE: They feared him? He was that good?

BW: Yes, he was a powerful advocate. He was a simple, brilliant and constant student who never stopped studying.

BE: Always kept up with everything.

BW: Always, yes, right jam up to date-very involved.

BE: Well, I've certainly got a "blockbuster" here for you.

BW: Hm?

BE: If you could change any one thing--I know that's sort of second guessing--but if you could change one thing in your life, what would it be-IF you wanted to change something?

BW: Well, I related the most drastic experience and that was the loss of many, many thousands of dollars. I remember one year I paid over four thousand dollars interest on what I lost, don't you see. Outside of that, I've been wonderfully blessed in many, many ways. I started out as a young lawyer with a good practice, making a good living, and as long as I stayed in practice-"I never had a big practice--but I had a very rewarding and satisfying practice. I've worked all my life, pretty close, and I told you about Mr. Boone being a student. It almost forced me to be a pretty good lawyer just to keep up with him, to stay with him. Of course, when you go from court to court, town to town, you're a stranger. You run into, take Meridian, in every town, you run into sure enough lawyers, and you gotta be a pretty good lawyer or you'd better not go there, don't you see this?

BE: You remember any judges that made an impression on you?

BW: Oh, yea. One that made the most impression on me, I guess, the most novel impression anyway would be old Judge Niles, who was a Federal Court Judge out of this district. We had just two judges, the Southern district and we had a Northern district. Any my first, I remember very distinctly, my first appearance before Judge Niles. By the way, this Mr. Taylor that I was telling you about, his affairs went into the Federal Court and every- thing. That liquidation of the banks, and river estates and the oil mills and all that, had to come through under the supervision of the Federal Court. Judge Niles lived in Kosiusko. You might have a mortgage that you could foreclose, but you couldn't foreclose without getting the waiver of the-commissioner of the Federal Court to do it--had to go through--that's what was required, and going to see him in Kosciusko. I did wind up there. This was the first I was before a Federal Court judge, and I was of course, a young man, a peanut, and I tried as best I could to get him to say something in his office out in the yard. I was out there and he came in and I spoke to him. He sat down and I tried to get some statement out of him. Be didn't talk at all. I kept on and finally I got something to say. I said, "Judge Niles, I have a petition here. Whenever you feel like taking it up, I'll be glad to present it to you". He says, "Young man, let me tell you something". He says, "Federal Court is like the Gates of Hell. It's always open! What the hell you got for me? Bring it on up and let's see what it is". That was my first experience with that! (Laughs) He was very gruff but a wonderful old man. So, I knew him. Of course, I knew all the judges. By the way, I knew, I think, the smartest man that had ever been in the Senate. That was John Sharp Williams from Yazoo City.

BE: John Sharp Williams?

BW: John Sharp Williams.

BE: I'm not familiar with him.

BW: Well, he's old-timey', way back there, you know. He was in the same age period as James K. Vardaman was and, anyway, I knew him real well. He was a brilliant man and a great man to know. He made two or three races and I drove him around the territory and associated with him-horse and

buggy it was (laughs). Of course, I was a boy. He was a brilliant man and I think he was a big man. I think he was not of the type, morally, as Judge Stennis-I mean, Senator Stennis-is, but he was a statesman. But, he was a liquor head, he'd get drunk but he'd never get off his feet. He'd stay on his feet always, and he knew where he was at. Every time he spoke he knew what he'd said, you know.

BE: At least he kept his wits about him.

BW: That's right. He was a great man. I knew him. I knew Judge Sikes who was a great man. Of course, I practiced with Williams and Dalton all around the Federal Courts and practiced in a good many courts.

BE: Do you remember any one case that sticks in your mind? Any one case that you had?

BW: Yes, I had a case growing out of the failure of the First National Bank back here when it went "kaflooney". I took the position. I represented a bunch of depositors, I reckon, oh, twenty or thirty that had money on deposit, like Ford Motor Co., Dalton Motor Co., the Ford people here. He had a-his checking account balance was, say, four thousand dollars. Well, the older bank had his running account. Say, fifteen thousand dollars, whatever it was, and I took the position that he had the right to apply four thousand dollars as a credit on the fifteen thousand dollars. There was a difference, don't you see, and was ready to pay the Federal Reserve Bank ... by the way, Mr. Fant, who was Sammie Smith's father-in-law...

BE: Mr. Fant?

BW: Fant, yea, was the District Attorney and he represented the Federal Reserve Bank.

BE: So he was your opponent.

BW: He was my ... he sure was!

BE: You make it sound like he was quite an opponent.

BW: Well, he was the type of fella that, just like a lot of city government people, he felt just like, hell, you work for him, he ain't working for you, you work for him... as far as that's concerned he ran over me the best he could, pretty well. So anyway, why, I accused the Federal Reserve Bank-of knowing that the bank, the local bank, was not in good shape and, knowing what they were doing, they switched from discounts to loans which meant they called the loans to note.' .. discounted it would just give them the money, the Federal Reserve would give them 100% on it, except for the retainer or accrued interest or something of that sort, but you got 100% on it. They switched from that to loan and they made the bank a direct loan of $2,300 and took three or four times that much in notes, and I took the position that they knew because they worked for the Federal Government and they knew, had access to and were familiar with the reports of the inspectors, and so forth and so on, the examiners, as they came and they knew the condition of the bank and that it was a matter of right. They had 'to-be, they should be forced to stay off my depositors until they exhausted... That involved--we've gone a long way as far as that's concerned because the effects of that case, that situation!--there was no precedent--just really a new field, an open field. No real precedent there.

BE: When was this,--do you recall?

BW: 19 ... oh, a long time ago. Likely 19 ... no, early 20's somewhere. No late 20's, early 30's, that's when it was.

BE: Just before the serious, the great depression.

BW: "29, right along in there or so, when all these banks went down, yea, that's when it was, yea; Of course, he beat me. Cost all my men, oh, I guess $100,000 all told. Fifteen or twenty of them in there, don't you see. Really that much --- $100,000 today ain't worth half as much as $100,000 was back then, anyway a big amount. He very promptly beat me in the lower, in the circuit court and I carried it to the Supreme Court. We had two Supreme Court divisions and...this is quite interesting if your legally inclined--they had divided into six judges, but they had two divisions, A and B. Those two divisions enabled them to hear a lot of cases, and if they were considered of enough significance they'd be referred to what they called the Court in Banks, the full court don't you see.

BE: They voted as a full court though, on cases, is that right?

BW: Yes, Yes. So, this was division A lip there. When I got to that, Division A reversed the case and I won it. Well, when they did that, why, Mr. Fant filed a mean motion. Oh, he was horrible. He should have been indicted. He should have been cited for contempt of court. His criticism of this Division A was horrible. Anyway, I came back just as far as he did,, and so in my reply to his, I said I thought he should be cited for contempt of court for the things held said.

BE: Things he had said against the court?

BW: Yes. But anyway, they re-opened it and put it then to the six judges. Well, as a matter of fact his son, Sammie Smith's wife's daddy--the Fant I was talking about was Sammie Smith's wife's grand-daddy--he sent his son Fant, Lester, Lester Fant--who was a brilliant lawyer, who was a much better lawyer as far as that's concerned than his father was--much better technical lawyer. He was the one I argued against during the first trial. When I got down there I had to argue with Mr. Fant. So we - had-- this is a right funny story--a meeting here of the wholesale grocers when they went bankrupt. I guess twenty or twenty-five lawyers were interested all over the country. We had this meeting and Mr. Fant was making fun of me for the things I said and I returned my reply to his motion for suggestion of error, what it was, and I told him and I said, "Mr. Frant, you remind me of the little negro that was in trouble, sho nuff trouble, and he tried everything, everything. Finally, came to the conclusion there wasn't but one thing left for him to do and that was call on the good Lord. So he called on the good Lord and he was praying to Him and finally wind up by sayin', 'now good Lord, this is a serious thing. This is a man sized job, so don't send Your Son down here, you come yourself-. I said, "You'll be here, you ain't goin' to send your son down here". It liked to kill him, he got so danged mad (deep laughter). And, I won it, in that case we got the principle. I won on my principles, what I was fighting for---that there was an element, that there was inequity, ethics and so forth and so on. You probably don't know what it means; not supposed to I don't think, but ...

BE: No-, I'm kind of limited in my legal knowledge.

BW: Yea, but anyway it was a very serious lawsuit. They weren't going to let a final Judgment go down against them. However, the Supreme Court in handing that down, in Bank with the full court, said in their opinion that it appeared that the Federal Reserve bank was on the border of being guilty of the situation they had opened up.

BE: That's what you said.

BW: Yes,-that's what I was trying to say in all that. They took it pretty hard. When I tried it down there, Charles McConigo represented the overall Federal Reserve System. He was the general attorney for the overall Federal Reserve System.

BE: What was his name-McConigo?

BW: McConigo. He came from St. Louis and it was so serious a lawsuit that he decided he would come down to Jackson and argue the case to the Supreme Court, and he did. So, I had Mr. Fant and General McConigo to fight down there at Jackson. But it developed that the general was not familiar with the rules of our local courts and in minutes he was just like a fish out of water and he just ...

BE: He was lost?

BW: Oh, he was lost, that's all there was to it. The judge called him down, For instance he started out to say, "I'd like to tell you something about the functions of the Federal Reserve System." Judge Smith, he was a prince of a fellow, soft and nice he said, "General, we are very much interested in the Federal Reserve System and would be glad to talk with you about it, but is that involved in this lawsuit? If it isn't we'd appreciate it if you would stay with the record".

BE: Stay with the case, eh?

BW: And then, the rule down there was you couldn't read out of the law books; you had to put it in your brief. If you wanted to quote anything you had to quote it from your brief, not from books.

BE: No books?

BW: No books, you see. Of course, there were quotations from the books, and he had two or three books, and he picked up a book and started reading on it, and the judge set him down again, and in ten minutes he was through. Hell, that's all there was to it.

BE: That killed his case.

BW: Which meant that Mr. Fant--Mr. Fant was going to close it for them--he opened and Mr. Fant closed. Well, the judge had given us an hour and a half apiece to argue, or something, and after ten minutes, well, on the rejoinder back then, on the closing, he can't go any longer than the opening, don't you see, so Mr. Fant was pinned to about ten minutes himself.

BE: I'm sure he didn't appreciate that, did he?

BW: What did you want? Did you want to ask something about this thing here?

BE: How about some recollections? Do you recall anything---of course it was a bad time during the depression here--how did it affect Corinth as opposed to the rest...

BW: You mean way back in 1907?

BE: No, no, the big one. 1930--1929,30,31.

BW: Well, as I told you, Frank was in the school at Ole Miss., and on March 4, when the President shut all the banks, closed down all the banks, I had a case set for trial in Aberdeen, Federal Court in Aberdeen. Of course, I had an automobile. I had maybe, fifteen or twenty dollars in my pocket.

(tape one ends here. The following-is reconstructed from memory). I remember traveling to Aberdeen and seeing a lot of people just sitting around, not doing anything because there was no work. It was bad all over, of course, but most everyone got through. The churches helped a lot of people...

Tape two.

BW: ( ) ... and one man was graduating school together, in 1900. You

remember all about that, I'm sure!!

BE: Right!!

BW: And we graduated here and we were very close friends as we carne along. Then he got into some sort of trouble around here so he had to leave town. But he was a brilliant fellow, a smart man. He went to Oklahoma, Oregon, San ... California, and finally, years ago, stopped--landed--in San Antonio and died about two years ago. All down there.

BE: San Antonio is a nice town. I lived there for several years.

BW: I visited with him two or three times, and we kept up with each other. He lived out here by the part area, and his daddy kept cows, two or three cows, and it was his job in the morning to milk the cows. Well, the great thing in that day and time was hoboing on the railroad, and we'd hobo on down to Booneville and go to see the girls, and eleven, twelve, or one o'clock we'd catch a freight train and come back home. Well, he was a clumsy old cuss, and he couldn't catch the darn freight train.

I'd already caught the freight train and saw that he wasn't going to make it, so I got off and stayed with him. Another train didn't come along. Got along way up to one or two o'clock in the morning, he says, "I gotta be at home in the morning. I slipped out tonight. Daddy will catch me and I've got to be home in the morning in time to milk-the cows. I go-Eta go. He can't find out. I'll just walk". And I, like a darned fool--so, we walked from Booneville to Corinth after one or two o'clock in the morning

BE: What time did he have to be back?

BW: Well, when he got to his farm, his daddy was already out there and, of course, he was dressed up, so he took his coat off and said, "Daddy. which cow you want milked? He said, "If you'd been here, you woulda known"" So, we walked for nothing!! (laughs). That was a ... but I kept up with him. He was the type of man that he had troubles like I did.' Hit wife was an invalid, so was mine. And we were close enough. Children, I could brag on my children and tell him they were the greatest children in the world. He would agree with me and turn right back around and say no, his children were the greatest. And he loved his friends, and of course he and I were just as close as any two could be.

BE: Like brothers?

BW: That's right.

BE: Do you know Mr. Mangum out in Burnsville?

BW: Who?

BE: Mr. Mangum, Autrey Mangum.

BW: In Booneville?

BE: Burnsville.

BW: I don't know him.

BE: He's the fellow that wrote the history of Iuka, "Down Memory Lane" it's called. He went to Mississippi. Graduated in the class of '13, I think.

BW: Mangum?

BE: Mangum. Their family came down from Hardin County, Tennessee and lived in Iuka most of their lives. He was a chemist for a long time at the University-. He owns a little farm out there now.

BW: Closer to Burnsville or around Iuka?

BE: No, near Burnsville. Just this side.

BW: Well, (my Son)--my brother-in-law was a traveling man and he was coming back home from one of his trips and he was coming through Burnsville. And, he didn't allow the pace and the town marshal stopped him and arrested him for speeding through the town. So, he set it for a few days and said, "I'll be back here. I'm not going to pay you nothing. Be back with my lawyer and we'll fight you out. It ain't nothing in it at all'.'. Said, O.K., who's your lawyer?" Says, "Mr. Worsham, down in Corinth. "Well", he says, he's the man who wrote the ordinance representing the city." He said, "Oh, Hell!! How much is the fine?" (Laughs).

BE: Once he hear that, he knew held had it!

BW: Yea, Lord have mercy!

BE: Well, Mr. Worsham, I guess that's all. We sure appreciate it.

BW: Glad I could do it.

BE: Thank you very much.

BW: By the way, you might like this (hands paper to me). I was president of the Corinth Brick Company.

BE: Brick?

BW: Yea, and beginning in 1923, I was president until '29, about six or seven years, and two other boys here (worked with me), and we converted -it from an old tiny brick yard to the modern one. They're using our foundry and kilns, for instance, out there now that we put in there. I gave that. I was supposed to be the credit man for them and I passed it on the credit. The other boy was salesman and the other a production man, don't you see, so that was a trio. I enjoyed it very much. That's the only real one I made a lot of money out of.

BE: But you enjoyed it.

BW: Oh, yes, I enjoyed it very much. Well...

BE: O.K.

BW: You might put in there that I'm gonna stay here until I'm a hundred years old and I'm just ninety now, so I've got another ten years to go.

BE: So you have a ways to go!

BW: Ah, Lord! (Laughter)

1.2.  Benjamin Franklin Worsham. In The Drums Of War V, January 1861 – April 1862, by Andrew Brown, page 16-17: “Assuming that the average strength of infantry companies in the Confederate service in 1861 and 1862 was 70 to 80 men, Tippah County had sent between 1250 and 1450 men to the colors before the war reached home soil. As the county was primarily a community of small farmers the sudden removal of a considerable portion of the labor force brought about much hardship in the families of the soldiers. The State recognized this condition early in 1861, when the Legislature enacted the first of the many Military Relief Acts it was to pass before the fighting ended. Under the provisions of this law the Board of Police at its May 1861 meeting appointed a committee composed of O. Davis, B. F. Worsham, Daniel Hunt, J. E. Rogers, and H. W. Stricklin, to "enquire minutely into the condition and wants of each family in the county, the husband or father whereof is engaged as a solider in the service of the State or the Confederated States, and if the said committee shall be of the opinion that the family stands in need of pecuniary assistance to prevent it from becoming a charge on the county . . . said committee . . . shall certify the amount of assistance required by each family to the Probate Clerk, who shall thereupon issue a warrant on the County Treasurer payable to some member of the committee who shall use and appropriate the money so drawn to the maintenance and support of the family of the absent soldier". The sum of $3,000.00 was appropriated for immediate relief purposes, and three committee men were appointed from each beat to report to the central committee. At the August meeting of the Board a tax of 100 percent of the State tax was imposed for Military Relief, and loan warrants not to exceed $8,000.00 in principal sum and bearing interest at the rate of 8 percent were authorized in anticipation of the collection of the tax. In January 1862 the tax was reduced to 50 percent of the State tax. At the February meeting names of 84 families receiving Military Relief were placed on the minutes; 69 names were added in April, and 108 more in May.”

1. Mr. Worsham & Sarah. The children have been linked to 1.5.5.1.2.2. Daniel B. Worsham b abt 1791 of Lunenburg Co., VA & d 21 Oct 1835 s/o David G. Worsham & Martha Ann Smith. (See page 310, Solon Wisham, 2000)

Daniel B. Worsham b abt 1791 of Lunenburg Co., VA & d 21 Oct 1835 s/o David G. Worsham & Martha Ann Smith. (See pg 304) According to Solon Wisham, Daniel B. Worsham was born abt. 1791 in Lunenburg Co, VA, died Oct 21, 1835 in DeKalb Co., GA, & md Caroline M. Fowler who d. in Marion Co., GA. His records also have the children of Daniel Worsham and Caroline Fowler as: Nancy Worsham, b. 1806 md. William Howard; William Worsham b. 1810; & Daniel Worsham b. 1812 Marion Co., GA. (Solon Wisham, Sacramento, CA, 2000) This family is on page 742. Daniel Worsham & Caroline M. Fowler were md. 8 Jul 1818 Goochland Co, VA. (FamilySearch IGI) In this case, none of the three children would be children of Caroline. Perhaps Daniel was previously md, he was age 27 when he md Caroline and he was 43 when he died in 1835. He would have been born in 1791 and too young to be the father of Nancy Worsham b 1805. He would have been age 14 when Nancy was born and age 19 when William A. was born. It is possible that he was older than age 43 when he died. Because Sarah b 1790 was living with Nancy Worsham & William Howard in the 1850 Census, it looks like she could be a step-mother. He is supposedly the Daniel in the 1820 Baldwin Co., GA Census but only one male under 10 years of age & no female children are listed. No children are listed for the Daniel Worsham in the 1830 Bibb Co., GA census.
