The extraordinary popularity Of finc
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine

perfect finish, equal to that when the

CONVENTION
THE MISSISSIPPI ASSOCIATION
WILL MEET THIS YEAR IN
BILOXI.
President Robertson, of Collins, sayls
That Leave Of Absence Will Be
Secured For All Postmasters

COLLINS, June 23.-Eugene E.
Robertson, of Collins, Miss, and John
P. Bennett, of Yazoo City Miss, pres
ident and secretary, respectively, of
the Mississippi Association OF post
masters, in a recent conference here
arranged for the holding of the next
convention at Biloxi. Miss, August 1.
Secretary Bennett has arranged to
secure a very low rate over all rail
roads for this occasion. Concessions
from hotels and boarding houses have
also been arranged.
Both these gentlemen have been
identified with the work of the assO-
citation since its organization in 1906.
Mr.. Robertson was the principal fac
tor in bringing about the organiza-
ton, which now numbers six Or sew
en- hundred members. The last meet
ing was held in Vicksburg, July, 1908.
There were in attendance at that meet
ing about three hundred progressive
postmasters from all over the state.
It is thought that as the Mississippi
coast is attractive per Sc and the as
sociation of inestimable benefit to the
postmasters, that those in attendance
at Biloxi will more than double that
number. President Robertson says
that leave of absence will be secured
for all postmasters in the states of
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
A general postal convention is to be
held at the same place, sometime dur
ing the session of the Association OF
Postmasters. He states that he is
authorized to announce that all pos
tai employees in whatever branch en-
ployed, are cordially and earnestly
requested to be present. Leaders of
the rural carriers, railway postal
and association of postoffiCaa clerks
have suggested that part Of the an
nual leave of each be taken 50 as to
include this postal convention. and
that they use every effort to attend.
The Biloxi Commercial Club las
turned the matter OF entertaining the
convention over to'"sunny" jim Tyler,
postmaster at that city. He will not
leave undone anything to add to The
success of the occasion.

with such apparent unconcern. Also
despite repeated interrogations, he
declined to say just what happened in
the room when the girl was murdered.
He admitted having heard scuffle
in the room during the night and told
of Elsie having arrived on the pre-
vious afternoon, the day when she
disappeared from her home.
did Leon take her there, or did
she go of her own accord?" he was
asked
"She went there alone" he replied.
Was she in love with Leon or
Leon in love with her?' was another
question.
At this Chung Sin relapsed into
silence. and then only smiled and
shook his head. He indicated, how
ever that the girl had sought out
the Chinaman.

Canine VAGRANTS

Officer McNair, of the police de-
partment is waging merry war on
vagrant dogs, to which duty he las
been assigned, and those who are pos
eessed Of valuable CANNES would do
well to see to it that their dogs ars
muzzled if allowed to run at large,
or have displayed upon tn air collars
a tag showing that the tax on his
life has been duly paid.
The ordinance relating to dogs is
a good one, there being an overplds Of
vagrant and doubtless dangerous can
ines at large in the city, and il view
of the fact that dog days are near at
hand, it is well to see that the rovers
are kept confined to the premises =
the owners or made to wear muzzles
for there is nothing more terrifying
or dangerous than a dog affected with
the rabies.
There were two or more instances
of persons being bitten by mad dogs
in this city last year, and the efforts
of the police department to prev snu
this occurrence is a commendable one,
and very necessary to- the peace and
comfort Of the citizens.
Unless the ordinance is strictly
complied with, you need not be sur
prised if your dog disappears never to
return, and no one will be to blame
but the owner.

AMENDMENT READY
To BE PRESENTED
The Exact Terms of the Measure
Which Will Co Before the Senate,

at o'clock. No business was dis
cussed at dinner, but for two hours
afterward the corporation tax meas
ure, which had been prepared in the
form on an amendment to the tariff
bill, was viewed from every angle.
Many changes from the form in
which it was written were suggested
and not a few of these were declared
to be wise. The result was that the
carefully prepared copies given to
each member of the party by Attor-
ney General Wickersham We're re-
turned to him at the end of the con-
ference.
President Taft himself suggested
| that thha copies should not be taken

low voice, but question after question
was then fired at him until he finally
said Leon murdered Elsie. He said
he was looking over the transom hav-

the Chinaman scuffling with the girl

stockings. He then went down stairs
but when Leon called him he went
back and Elsie was lying on the bed
covered with sheets and apparently
dead.
