AN UNGRATEFUL B.GGAR
Slips From Charity Line" to Despoil
Rich Church.

New York City.-Caught in an al
most successful attempt to respoil the
Church of the Most Holy Redeemer of
more than 100000 worth of gems,
gold work and relics. Rene Bacy, aged
35, describing himself as a Frenchman
and declaring that he had no place of
residence, was arrested. He was
found covering in the dim lights of
the sanctuary.
Burglar alarm wires, cunningly
placed because of previous attempts
at robbery in the edifice, are responsi-
BILE for the capture of Bacy, who is
said to have made no effort to deny
his object in entering the church.
"The church had plenty of money 1t
had more than /; needed some. Why
shouldn't l take it?" was his answer
TO, the questions put to him by the po-
lice.
Baty joined the so-called charity
line which forms daily at the church
to receive aims. The needy are never
turned away. Slipping quietly behind
a statue of the Holy Virgin, Bacy hid
until the services were finished. He
remained hidden until all the lights in
the altar rail had been extinguished.
Then he set out to collect the valu-
ables of which this, one of the veal
thiest churches in the United States,

SOUTH TO BECOME IRON CENTER.
So States Mr.. Snyder, Leading Iror
Master of Pittsburs.

Baltimore. Md.-The future Of the
iron industry Of this country is in the
SOUTH" was the statement made by Mr..
w. P. Snyder, leading iron master
of Pittsburg, Pa. In pointing out rea-
sons for his faith in the great future
of Southern iron interests Mr.. Snyder
said that within six years the ship
ments of Lake ores will reach as
much as 6O,OOO,0O0 tons year, and,
in connection with reference to the
rapid depletion of the Lake Superior
supplies under this tremendous drain,
he spoke Of the very great develop
ment which is taking place in the
south based ON the iron-ore and coal
resources of this section. The heavy
sales of iron at Birmingham for future
delivery, amounting during the past
two weeks to probably 100000 tons,
indicates the steady expansion at that
point, and the announcement, made
at the celebration of the opening of
the Illinois Central's line to that city,
that that road had given contract
for 10000 tons of Birmingham rails is
significant illustration of how rail-
road and industrial development in the
South go hand in hand and is sugges-
tive of turning toward revived in
dustrial activity.

Itens Of Interest from Ill Quarters ;:

keeper writes: We appreciate the
suggestions made in your letter and
] will see the men in this section who
have bees and will let you hear from
me as soon as possible. We have kept
track of your work and are proud to

A thoroughly sensible action was
taken by the citizens of Marshall
county when they decided to build a
model road from the business square
in Holly Springs to the experiment
station. 1t is proposed to construct
a permanent roadbed and surface
with gravel or other durable material.
A public meeting was held and the
details arranged. There is more in
this movement than the mere fact
that 4 piece of good road will be
built from town to the experiment
station. A9n example will be set that
will appeal to all who desire improve
ment in road conditions. The man
who has all his life pulled through
mud and water, hauling only one
fourth Of what should be load for
his team and who has never sen or
had the opportunity of using piece
of good road. does not appreciate the
value of same. If every man in Mis-
sissippi could use for one week the
good roads around Jackson, Tenn,
for instance, there would be no trou-
bic whatever in finding some means
whereby our roads could be made bet
ter at a reasonable cost. The county
with piece or two of good road is
in a fair way to have better roads to
all portions of it. Example and cx-
perience will work wonders.

having first made their appearance

1t is to be hoped that other counties
will take advantage of the progressive
action of the Adams supervisors and
provide means to assist the farmers
in fighting the weevil as well as de-
veloping agricultural possibilities.
Nothing that tends to help the far
