Vacancies in the Army.

A number of good position in the
army are vacant ana going begging,
although they are open to civilians.
This is an unusual situation, but it
looks as though it would continue a
long time, simply because it is i'm
possible to find persons with the
desired qualifications willing to give
up civil pursuits for the privilege of
wearing military uniform.
The vacancies in question are in
the medical corps of the army, where
thirty young men are wanted quail
fed to serve as assistant surgeons.
The pay to STRAIT with is fairly good,
$1,000 year. There are attractions
enough in the service to make the
billets desirable in the eyes of the
average medical graduate. But the
difficulty is that these youngsters are
not qualified to pass the strict exami-
nation. To come up to the arm re-
quirements, one must have had several
years of hard practice. Most doctors
who have had the experience neces@
sary have acquired an income which
makes the $1,000 offered by the army
appear insignificant.
So far only thirty-three applica-
tions have been received for permis-
sion to take the examination for these
appointments, which will be held on
April %. This means that many of
the vacancies will exist for months to
come.

Secretary cortelyou's Policy.

Secretary Cortelyou has not chang
ed his policy since he announced it
sometime ago, and is continuing to
put government moneys In banks.
The volume of such deposits is not
perhaps so large as few weeks ago
as in the money centers the banks
appear to have all the ready money
that they can well use. Since Secre-
tary Cortelyou assumed charge of
the Treasury on March 4 last, he
has increased government funds in
national banks by $26,5OO,OOO, max
ing the total held by them at this
date $166,5O0,0OO. Behind these de-
posits are over $S5,OO0,000 of rail-
road and state bonds, the balance be-
ing governemnt bonds.

Place to Live.

The members of the Executive Com
mittee of the University of Missis-
sippi Board of Trustees took up the
main point that it was to take up,
the question of suitable habitation
for Chancellor-elect J. B, Aswell, and
as it is impracticable for man rea-
sons, principal of which is the lack
of funds, to build a chancellors resi-
dence, oae of the dwellings already
existing will beStted up, and it was
decided to repair and place in order
the residence formerly occupied by
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Stands when
Dean of the Law Department. The
Trustees have consulted with Arch
itect R. III. Hunt, who has examined
the building, and has intimated that
it can be made perfectly serviceabls
for about $4,000 or $4,000. This
work will be given in hand at once,
so that the residence will be ready
for Chancellor-elect Aswell and FAM
lily on their arrival.

Hon. T. M. Henry, secretary Of
the board of directors Of the Soldiers
Home at Beauvoir, has received word
from the superintendent of the insti-
tuition that the new hospital building
recently erected at cost Of $500,
is now occupied, and contains twenty
patients, whose physical ailments are
such that they require hospital treat
ment. The building can accommodate
twenty-six patients and is the most
important improvement that has been
made at Beauvoir since the historic
home of Jefferson Davis was con-
verted into a soldiers home.
The hospital building is located
near the western end of the grounds,
short distance from the matrons
cottage, and is splendidly equipped
throughout, the board Of directors
having arranged that it should have
all modern conveniences. The pa
tients are now under the care of DR..
IL. M. FOlkes, one OF the foremost
physicians on the gulf coast, and Mrs.
M. c. Ansley, trained nurse, has
been installed as matron for this de-
partment, assisted by Miss Annie
Anderson, who has also been trained
for professional nursing.
The general health of the inmates
is exceptionally good, all of the pa
tients except two being able to sit
up a short while each day, which is
remarkable in view of the fact that
they range in age from IS to 96
years. During the winter season
there were forty cases of la grippe
among the inmates, yet only two
deaths occurred.

Husband Held.

Jack Shelby, recently arrested as
an accomplice to the murder of Mrs.
McCray, of Hattiesburg, has been
liberated. Claude McCray and Jack
Edwards were admitted to bail in the
sum of $1,000 eech to await the ac-
ton of the next session of the Perry
County Grand Jury. McCray is
charged with the murder of his wife
in Hattiesburg on the 10Th of last
January, while Edwards is believed
to be an accomplice. The defense
will endeavor to prove that the wo-
man committed suicide, and it is
said that strong evidence will be adj
duced to substantiate his theory.

J. A. Davis, a prosperous farmer
Of the Darbin neighborhood, near Co.

which was receipted bill of goods,
which he recently picked up in his
field, and which was blown from the
home of Mrs. Zack Lee, on the oc-
casion Of the recent storm which de-
stroyed her home at Jackson La, and
where one of her daughters was kill
ed. This bill was an old one, from
McKowen & Pond, Of Jackson La,
for the sumo Of $3.50 and was dated
private papers kept in the home of
Mrs. Lee. Other papers have also
been found in the neighborhood of
Mr.. Davis by other parties that were
blown from Jackson, La, a distance
of about one hundred miles, before
they against alighted on terra frma,
tbs showing that the papers must
have been carried far into the upper
currents of the air.

Workmanship in Navy.

The officials of the navy depart
ment are now engaged in computing
the averages made by the various
gun crews during the target practice
of the Atlantic feet in Southern wat
ers. Secretary Metcalf is highly
pleased at the efficiency shown by
the gunners in this springs work.
1t is stated that there has been a
tremendous improvement, not only in
accuracy, but in rapidity of fire. Gen.
orally speaking, the percentages Of
hits of the various ships ranged from
rs to 90. That is to say, shooting at
a bit of canvass almost mile away
the gunners of the feet hit the mark
from rs to 90 times out of each hun
dred shots.

Laurel is to have a real live street
railway, application for charter be-
ing asked for by two enterprising
citizens of that burg. The gentlemen
behind the move state that they do
not want to sell their franchise nor
do they expect to build the line and
then transfer to some syndicate, but
that they see in Laurel an opportu-
nifty to make street car line good
investment and they expect to build
and operate it themselves. 1t is to
be hoped that the line will be built
and operated by home people, and
that they may never experience the
trouble with outside owners as have
Jackson and other Mississippi towns.

The interest in good roads through
out the state is indicative of the
best of results, and that this interest
is increasing, none can deny. Within
the past few days communications
from supervisors of three counties
have been received at this Office ask
ing for information concerning the
display of road working machinery
to be exhibited at the Fair this fall.
1t is probable that several counties
will send their newly elected. boards
to examine the machinery offered and
see it at work. Arrangements have
been perfected for comprehensive
exhibit of this character, and practi-
cal demonstrations will be made each
day. The manufacturers will Of
course, try to make their product
show up better than that of the COM
petitor, but the official as well as
private individual, will have the op-
portunity of seeing and judging for
himself. 1t is to be hoped that all
officials, as we'll as individuals inter-
ested in an improvement of our pub
lie roads will take advantage of this
opportunity to see practical machines
for road building at work.

The proposition of President Han
son of the Gulf Compress Co., known
as the trust In the compress line, in
agitating the proposition to locate
deHnting plants at ocean and gulf
ports to delint cotton seed for export.
He claims that the price offered for
delinted seed by foreign mills is in
excess of the price paid by home
mills. Mr.. Hanson's suggestion may
be all right, but it might be we'll for
our people to carefully investigate the
matter before giving it their endorse
ment. Of course, if the seed are
crushed abroad our home mills would
be deprived of the job and that much
money paid for labor sent away from
home. Then too, if the foreign
crushers can afford to pay more than
the home mills are offering, there is
something else wrong. The mills have
an understanding with reference to
the price of seed that smaeks strong
ly of trust, and the evidence brought
out in the Kosciusko suit will be
taken advantage of by Attorney Gen
eral Fletcher to test the efficiency Of
Mississippi's antitrust law. The out
come of these proceedings will be
watched with interest by all concern
ed IN this contest.
