Col Roberts has an eye and
ear for the ridiculous as we'll as
the sober things of life. In his
various journeys it would be re-
markable if he did not see and
hear both. A mans business
usually leaves the mark of his
calling, not only on his face, but
in his general make up. 1t is so
with a salesman or drummer,
the marks of trade are with him.
Of course fiuor spar is a mineral
little known outside the trade;
yet the man selling it has all of
the drummers marks. Perhaps
he may not be as suave or as en-
ergetic as Bill Clifton; or as
chesterfieldian as H. F. Ham,
mack: or as oily as Dan Stone;
nevertheless from the general
appearance of Col. Roberts he
would be sized up as a travelling
salesman. All travelling sales
men are very inquisitive and
want to know who you are and
what you sell. They display as
much ingenuity in finding out
what they want to know as Jim
Henry does in finding out the
strangers name who wants to
buy a fuor spar mine.
Sitting in a parlor car one day
with grip at his side and a
book in his hand Col. Roberts
was poked in the back by a
Knight of the road with What
line do you carry?' The reply
was "fluor spar" and then the
reading was resumed. Quiet
ness prevailed for a few NOM
ents and then another query
what was that you said?" The
Col. replied again "fuor spar. "
Pretty soon the voice said "Oh.
you go to the devil" The Col.
did not go.

The history of this Kentucky
Illinois Fluor Spar district will
never be written with the name
of d. c. Roberts left out. Mr.
Roberts came to this district
early in it's development and
with voice and pen assisted in
the work of fluor spar mining
and finding out what it was af.
ter it was mined and what il
was good for before it was sold.
He knew little about spar when
he first came to this county.
, Now there is not a man in the
United States who knows more
about spar in all its various
phases, mined or unmined. This
district gives him credit more
than any other for the work of
educating fuor spar users. There
is no fuor spar situation of
which Col. Roberts is not master.
Is it any wonder then that the
Fair View mines pays him a
splendid salery to sell fuor spar?
Col, Roberts territory is the
u. s. He is all over and every
once in a while down here in the
middle of Kentucky playing
with his grand children.

In the old days Col. Roberts
did a great deal with his pen.
His writings were nothing if not
original. He wrote heavy edi-
torials, Bits of By Play, a learn
ed treatise on metallurgy and
advertisements. His unique ad-
vertisement writing attracted
the attention of a Crittenden
county man who had lost a
horse. He walked into the
Colonies office one day and after
giving a description of his lost
animal asked the Colonel to
write an advertisement for the
Press"
Mr.. Robert turned to his desk
for a few minutes and here is
what he wrote:
REWARD-A reward of $500
will be paid by John Plaster
Paris for the return of a lost
horse described as follows:
One gray horse.

been producing 20 tons per day

the lack of water and he pro-

WILD CAT MEAT WAR FOOD
Chinese in Murder Feud Demand AMI
mails Flesh to Make Them
Fierce Fighters.

San Francisco, Cal.-Wildcat meat
is at a premium in the Chinese quar-
ter of this city as a result of the strife
between the zee family and the On
Yick' tong. which has brought about
six murders in or near San Francisco
Gince November l. There Is a belief
among the Chinese that If their war
riors are fed on the flesh of wildcats
they will assimilate the ferocity Of
the beasts and their fighting efficiency
be improved.
The butchers of the quarter are driv-
ing a thriving trade in wildcat meat
among the two clans now at war.
Detectives who are mingling with
the Chinese every day say that more
killings are certain before the feud
dies out. Every prominent Chinese
connected even remotely with the On
Yicks or the zee family Is surrounded
by a bodyguard of white men when
ever he appears on the streets Prices
have been set on the heads of many
by the warning factions. The hair Of
one doomed man is said to be turning
whittier daily.
Wildcats gathered from all over the
state are exhibited at every Chinese
butcher shop.

Senator c. w. Thigpen, of Bay
Springs, who takes the place of Hon.
Sam Whitman, Jr., in the third dis
trict, the latter having resigned to &C.
cept the CHARACTERISTIC vacated by
the death of Chancellor J. L. Meas
kill in the Second district, says he did
not come here to set the woods on
fire and he doesn't want the earth.
Senator Thigpen regards the rein
statement of the new and revised
Agricultural High School law as being
matter of supreme importance te
the people of the state, and. he will
take deep interest in the passage
of the new measure.
This is significant in view of the
fact that it was in his own county
that the former was fought to bitte1
finish and killed by Chancellor Whit
man, whose action was sustained by
the Supreme Court, the law being
held to be unconstitutional because
it contained the one word white,
and made no provision for the educa
ton of negro children.

AMERICANS Will
TIE Up ROADS
Trouble Between Mexican Railways
and Their American Employees
May Result in Strike.
(By Associated PrcSS.)

Ell Paso, Texas, Jan. 5.-The Tot
teon Mexico, Enterprise says:
Trouble between the National
Railways of Mexico and their Ameri-
can employees, which is expected to
eliminate ON January Is, may result
in complete tie-up of traffic at the
American border.
"The Mexican Railway may sever
their relations with American railroad
men on that date. Because of the in
ability to arrest by Mexican courts,
the men will not declare strike, but
there is no law that prevents man
resigning who is not under contract.
American unions in the United
States, it is said, will declare the Mexi-
can railways to be unfair and will
tie them up by not allowing engineers,
firemen, conductors or brakemen on
American roads terminating at Ell Pa
so, Eagle Pass and Laredo to handle
any shipments delivered by Mexican
railways

To Kill Liquor Ads.

Hon. R. L. Breland OF Philadelphia
representing the Seventeenth district
composed of Leake and Neshoba coun.
ties, will il he can get the sanction
OF Gov Noel, introduce bill to pro
hibit the publication of liquor adver-
tisements in newspapers.
There is an interesting little point
for speculation here as to what the
Governor will do about it. Some time
ago, in a public address, Gov. Noel
expressed the opinion that the publt
cation of liquor advertisements is al
ready prohibited by the preent law
II he still holds this view he will
hardly recommend the passage OF an
other law which would be no more
than a repetition, although he un-
doubtedly would desire to prohibit
their publication unless he may have
changed his mind since he made the
speech referred to.
Senator Breland feels very kindly
toward the proposed State Nofnaal
bill, a state reformatory for iuv9pjlt
criminals, the agricultural high eollbo
and the proposed creation Of de o.
fee Of county attorney in each cont,

ascent, and the fourth in which she
had navigated the balloon herself.
The travellers were equipped with
electrical apparatus for heating and
light, and their provisions consisted Of
tea, coffee, sandwiches and bottle
of champagne. During the afternoon
they drifted northwest rapidly. When
at height of 5000 feet the balloonists
encountered a fierce gale. They were
blinded by snow and particles Of ice.
At nightfall they realized that de-
scent was impossible, and the voyage
continued over the North sea. They
suffered greatly from the cold. On
several occasions the balloon dropped
so low that the car touched the sea.

balloon rose again.

SENATOR VANCE
FAVORS Mr.. KYLE
Claims He Would Be Generally Ae-
ceptabIe for Seat In the v. s.
Senate.

Special to The Neps.
Jackson, Miss, Jan. Ex-senator G
B. Vance, of Pamela county, who has
assumed charge of the interests of
Hon. c. Kyle in the upper house, ad-
vances several reasons why Mr.. Kyle
should be the most acceptable candi-
date for the Seat of the United States
Senate, vacated by the death Of Sen
ator McLaurin.
"In the first place." says Senator
Vance, "Mr. Kyle has no enemies in
any of the factions. He has been out
of politics since he retired from Con-
gress. where he served three terms,
and he has made no political or per-
sonal enemies, as most Of the other
candidates doubtless have, and no
man has been mentioned who would
be so universally acceptable"
Senator Vance calls attention to the
fact that prior to his first election to
Congress he defeated for some i'm.
portant office Hon. John M. Stone.
who was afterward elected governor
besides defeating such men as Judge
| Lowry, Oglesby and others of positive
, strength at that time.
He recites the history of Mr.. Kyle's
retirement from Congress, which was
done, he says, voluntarily. because in
his rugged honesty he remained an
advocate of the gold standard when
free silver was popular issue, when
he might have easily retained his
congressional seat by simply getting
in the band wagon.
Rugged physically and mentally,
he is a fine campaigner," says Mr.
Vance, "and his sledge hammer ticks
on the stump are such as to compel
admiration"
An odd feature of this particular
part of the present contest is that In
the last election brother of Mr.
Kyle, Hon. A. S. Kyle was the oppon
ent Of Mr.. Vance, who defeated him
but is still his close personal friend
as we'll as both a personal and polit
ical friend of his somewhat more dis
tinguished brother.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1910-01-05
in addition to the district attorney
as now constituted.
More Money for Vets.

Hon. c. B. Vance, of Batesville, SEN
ator from the thirty-third district,
composed of Pamela county, who is
chairman of the committee on pen
sions, will ask for a large increase in
the pension appropriation for the next
two years, and for a substantial in
crease in the support appropriation
for the Confederate Soldiers Home at
Beauvoir.
Senator Vance has obtained reports
upon this subject from nearly all the
other southern states and declares
that Mississippi is trailing along be-
hind all the rest. In every instance.
he says, the other states, most of them
with fewer veterans, are paying in
pensions more, and some of them
three times as much as Mississippi
appropriates for that purpose.
Last year the appropriation of $780,
900 provided an apportionment of only
$3.50 for each pensioner in the pro
rata class, decrease of 1925 from
the apportionment of the previous
year on the same aggregate appro.
priation. Mr.. Vance believes the leg.
islature will very readily pass a bill
providing 100000 for this purpose,
and thinks there is chance that a
half million might be obtained.
More Court Sessions.
Senator G. J. Leftwich, of Aberdeen
representing the thirty-eighth district
author of the present prohibition law
and number of other important
measures, expressed the hope that
the session will be short one.
He has few matters of his own tc
offer, and aside from presenting the
proposed bill for the equalization Of
salaries of state officers, acting fol
the committee selected to investigate
and act upon that particular matter
will devote great deal of his energy
to the passage of bill providing fo
the redistricting of the state into new
: circuit court districts. He will go
little farther, however, than is pro
posed by the governor, in the even
the senator drafts the BILL and pre-
vide for more court terms, giving tn
larger counties at least four terms pc
year.
