To hold out tn the end. lt is now
certain tn all men shat Mr.. Nleiring-

them. They may be induced to vote
for "A lew man ar Il compromise man,
but never for the caucus nominee.
On the other hand the Niedringhaus
men will not permit MIR. kerens to
pick the plum he has kept their man
from enjoying while hanging tempt
ingly above his head. Ii is barely
possible that enough honest Repub-
leans may become Disguised with
the attitude OF their party associates
and vote to return honest old Frank
Cockrell to the Senate. Thatis bare
iy a possibility andnotatall likely to
Occur. 1t now looks like the whole
session will be irittered away with
useless iactional wrangiing and ad.

when the next Legislature, which is
sure to be Democratic, will have no

"Though the motor driven vehicle
steadily increases In numbers and availi-
bility, 1t Is not sending the old nag to the
bOneyard. 1t is further stated that the
horse market does not show the slightest
effects of the automobile, the demand
being as great and the prices as high as
before the automobile came into use."
When horse or any other animal Is
suffering from an indiSposition or dis

ROOSEVELT SEEKS
PEACE WITH SOUTH
Confederate Veterans and Wild
ows Of Soldiers Appointed
to Mississippi Post
Offices.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 30.-Missis-
sippi politicians believe that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has repented his
action in the Acols Post Office case,
which caused much discussion
throughout the South, and is now
making amends to Southern Demo-
Gratis by the appointment OF confed-
crate veterens and the widows of
Confederate veterans and other
Democrats to many post Offices in
this State.
During the last few month many
post offices have become vacant, and
among the many appointments
made by President Roosevelt there
has not been a single instance re-
ported in which the patrons OF the
post office are displeased with his
choice.
. More women are in charge OF post
offices in the State to-day than ever
before Units history, and among them
are many widows OF Confederate
veterans, appointed since the Presi.
dent began his new policy.
Old soldiers who served through
out the Civil War in the confederate
army have also been selected to fill
Offices.
Democratic Post-masters have be-
come numerous, and it is said that
Democrats have received appoint
ments with as much and probably
more frequently than Republicans.
Many instances have come to light
where the President has refused ap-
pointments to Republicans OF the
"ior revenue-only class, and selected
life long Democrats in their stead.
The press OF the state is daily
taking note OF the apparent change
in policy by the President, and much
comment of a favorable nature hat
been the result.
That Mr.. Roosevelt has started OF
q course by which he intends tt
placate the Southern people, and Il
remove from their minds former I'm
pleasant occurrences Is the expressed
belief OF both Democrats and Repub
leans.
