Cliff Dickerson has sold the
Olivet Leader TO company com
posed of business men of the
town, and says he intends re-
entering the engineering field,
from which a greater amount OF
money can be made at less ex-
pense than any country weekly. y
From the following item in last
week issue of the Leader, the
people of Olivet evidently re-
gretted to see Mr.. and Mrs.
Dickerson leave their town:
The friends and neighbors of Mr..
and Mrs. Dickerson gathered at their
home Tuesday evening to bid them
farewell, as they leave tomorrow to
make their home in another town.
The townspeople came in, took com
plete possession of the office building
| and having brought generous supply
of eatables, they proceeded to make
merry with mirth and laughter and a
! bountiful lunch. The editor and his
wife wish to take this opportunity to
say that this is only one of the many
acts of kindness which the Olivet peo
pile have shown us during our three
years residence among them. We
came here strangers and you took u:
in and made us welcome. In sickness
and health our friends have ever beer
ready with thoughtful acts of kindness
none of which will ever be forgotten
though we never return to this little
village again. We wish to thank ont
and all for their kindness, and also
for this last gathering, which gave III
an opportunity to meet our friends to
gether before we leave. At departing
the company presented Mr.. and Mrs
Dickerson with beautiful set of sill
yer knives and forks, which all ma.
rest assured will be cherished il
memory of the good times we spen
together.

NOTHING DEFINITE YET
PALMER'S REPORT HAS NOT
 REACHED KAVANAUGH.
Gen. Carnes Says He Will Abide by any Decision Announced and that He Regards Entire Matter as
 Business Proposition.

Memphis. Tenn. Feb. 3-(Special.)- When located tonight by long distance phone by The Advertiser correspondent, President William Kavanaugh of the Southern League stated that he was ab- solutely unable to give out anything that would throw light on the present muddled baseball situation in Montgomery
 T have received telegram from MT. James Palmer, who was appointed to visit Montgomery in hopes of adjusting the matter. stating that he had forwarded his decision to me by mail, hNt whether he has been able to settle the question or whether he has abandoned the task Is not in my power to state. Until l hear further from him 1 cant say what Will be done"
 Caruthers Ewing. who was elected President of the Memphis Baseball Asso- citation last night said he knew nothing new about the settlement of ownership of Montgomery franchise. "I think that MT. Semmes Is entitled to full and abso- late ownership of the franchise on the Birmingham agreement as l told you last week. said MT. Ewing. As far as We are concerned we will stick up for Semmes and believe that he is entitled to more than has already been given him. but that Is for others to decide as l re- fused to be party to the committee ap- pointed for the settlement of the dispute. l have not heard from MT. Palmer but believe that he has been unable to de- eide what is best to do."
 General Carnes was more emphatic In his remarks and stated that he was sure his life time friend, MT. Semmes. had not been granted what was due him in the entire controversy. He said: We will abide by any decision announced. however. and I wish you would make it plain that we regard the entire matter as business proposition with all person. alitieS eliminated"

THE ELKINS BILL.
Hepburn Thinks It May Be Radical
 ly Amended in the House.

Washington, Feh 3.-Senator Elkins author of the bill Niing the inter state commerce law, wUch passed the Senate today. discussed the prospects of the bill in the House this afternoon with Representative Hepburn Chairman of the Committee on Interstate Commerce, to whom will be referred the bill and also with Representative Iittlefield, author of the antitrust bill reported from the Ju- dietary Committee.
 MT. Hepburn thought there would be no difficulty in securing a favorable re- port from his Committee, but said that the possibility of radical amendment in the House made it questionable whether it would be feasible to attempt to pass it. The fact that the Elkins bin passed without discussion or attempt to amend has encouraged its friends to believe a similar result may be achieved in the House. Some of the provisions of the Elkins bill are incorporated in the Little field bill, but MT. Littlefied told the Sen ator today that he would not oppose the measure in the House on that account.
 It Is expected there will be a meeting of the House Interstate Commerce Com mittee this week to consider the bill.

WILL CHASE HEALTH.
Captain Norton's Pursuit of It May
 Keen Him Going till Death.

Louisville. Ky. Feb. 8.-Acting upon the advice of his physicians. Captain William F. Norton. a millionaire and noted character of Louisville. known in theatrical circles as Daniel Quip," own CT of the Auditorium here. one of the largest theatres in the South. will leave Louisville tomorrow morning for Los An geles in search of health. It Is possible that he may never Geturn to this city, but win spend the rest of his life in trav- cling in this country, Europe and Asia.
 For years Captain Norton has been a unique figure in Louisville, being a mem Der of a prominent and wealthy family and possessing characteristics which brought him prominently before the pub lie Although a resident of Louisville practically all his life. he never ceased to denounce the city which he called the graveyard

 A devotee of sports of all kinds. he was not slow in expressing his disap- proval when the courts recently refused to allow the fight between McGovern and Young Corbett to take place in the Auditorium.
 One of his distinguishing features was his manner of administering charity. He had himself appointed a special police man and every Friday waited in his of flee dressed in his uniform for those in need of assistance, to tell him their troubles and present their petitions which were seldom refused.
 In addition he was a liberal contributor to the Baptist Churches and great ad- mirer of the late Dr. Broaddus, to whose memory he had a costly monument erect ed in Cave Hill

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN"
Cluster of Surmises as to Probable" Tenor of MT. Palmers Report,

Nashville, Tenn. Feb 3.-(SpeciaD- President James M. Palmer of the Nash vile. Baseball Club has returned from Montgomery where he went to arbitrate the disagreement over the Montgomery baseball franchise. Yesterday he reached his decision and sent 1t to President Kav- anaugh. President Palmer stated to your correspondent this morning that he felt that any statement in regard to his de- cision ought to come from Mir. Kavanaugh and that he did not care to say what it was. It is not hard matter to conclude, however. that under the circumstances that now exist. President Palmer decided that the franchise should be owned joint ly by Messrs. Ragland and Semmes. and that all expenses should be shared by them. It is probable that he recommended that each park should have half the games played in Montgomery and also recommended that Lew Whistler be ap- pointed manager. Of course this is mere ly surmise but it is probably rather close to the facts of the case.
 Photographic reports from Montgomery give very discouraging reports of the case and the fans there do not seem to think that peace is In sight. President Palmer. however, feels certain that his decision will be accepted and that peace is assured.

FLEE FROM HONDURAS
AMERICAN RESIDENTS LEAVING
 THE COUNTRY.
United States Decides to Dispatch a Cruiser to Look After Interests
 of the Citizens of This Nation.

New Orleans. Feb. 3.-Passengers arriv- ing on the United States Fruit Company's steamer Breakwater, direct from Puerto Cortez. report that Americans are fleeing from Spanish Honduras in expectancy of revolution which has been brewing in that republic for the past two months on account of the ref,isa; of President Sierra. Presidential seat to Senor Bonilla, who, the reports say, has been officially elected the successor of Senor Sierra.
 President-elect Bonilla was expected to be inaugurated last Sunday, but the Breakwater left Puerto Cortez too soon to see the expected declaration of hostili- ties.
 President Sierra has been Honduras's Chief Executive for the past few years. but last fall an election for President was held. Among the candidates were Pres- ident Sierra, Senor Bonilla and Dr. Soto. Several days were required to get up the official count which showed that Senor Bonilla had received 45.00o votes accord ing to his version. President Sierra and Dr. Soto contested the election and as- serted that fraud had been used in the supposed election of Senor Bonilla. The allegation was made that there are but 5o.9O0 voters in the entire republic, and that it was impossible for any candidate to poll the total Senor Bonilla claimed. Sierra contends that he is President while Bonilla says he is the official head of the republic. Sierra represents the Conserv- atives and Bonilla the Liberals. Both have big following and propose declar- ing war if one or the other Is not seated. The Conservatives are making secret preparations for the fight. Boralla also has been active and is fully prS2ared to put up a hard struggle against the troops under President Sierra.
