HAS HAD EXTENSIVE
EXPERIENCE IN WORK
Late Archdeacon of Laramie, U. s. A.,
And Prominent Worker in Episcopal
Church in England, Win Come To
Hsttiesburg Easter Sunday.

{ Rev. DR.. w. S. Simpson-Atmore OF
Mavasota, Texas, who has been called
to fill the vacancy in the pulpit at
Trinity Episcopal church in Hatties-
burg, (which has existed for about two
months, and who has written his let
ter of acceptance to the vestry of the
church, has been prevented from
preaching his opening sermon on
Palm Sunday by a slight attack of
sickness, and is advised by his physi-
clans not to attempt to make the
trip to Hattiesburg before Tuesday or
Wednesday of next week. DR.. At
more advises the vestry that he will
be here to occupy the pulpit on Easter
Sunday.
The congregation of Trinity church
is to be congratulated on securing the
services of a minister of DR.. Atmore's
knowledge and experience. He was
at one time Arch deacon of Laramie,
U. S. A., and Organizing Secretary for
the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel in England, which position ne
held for three and one-half years.
The Southern Churchman in an is
sue late in 1909, contained the follow
ing regarding his work in England
and gives an appreciation of DR.. At
more's services from the English Ec-
| clesiastical authorities:
The Rev. DR.. Simpson-Atmore, of
, the Protestant Episcopal Church of
this country, who quite recently re-
signed the position in the Church of
England of Organizing Secretary for
the Society for the Propagation of
the Gospel, which position he filed
for three and one-half years, has just
returned home from England. DR..
Atmore's work, which engaged his
own attention and that of thirty-two
assistant (decanaD secretaries, is
spoken of as follows in the November
issue of The Southwell Magazine
(England):
"In handing in his formal resigna-
tion of the office of Organizing Secre.
tary of S. P. G., DR.. Simpson-Atmore
said that away and apart from the hap
piness which was his in working for
old S. P. c., the privilege was also
his of illustrating in himself (and
therefore he would say, in a very
small way), the Identity of the Angli-
can Communion. Here he was-an
American Churchman working for s.
p. G. in an English Diocese. He
would only add that as one belonging
to the daughter Church of America he
felt proud of having worked for three
and a half years for the dear old
Mother Church of England, and OF
having marched by her side, and un
der her banner and that of the Bishop
of Southwell in the grand march OF
missionary conquest.

accepting the resignation on behalf OF
the Committee, said he felt they must

ARE MANY Arguments
FOR and AGAINST IT
Some Contend That Land Could Be
Put to Better Use, While others
Say This Would Not Be Done-Pos-
sibe Disposition of Matter.

Since the passage by the Legislature
of a bill authorizing the trustees OF
the penitentiary to purchase in any
section of the state 1000 acres OF
land, to be used as a state convict
farm, and the proposition TO have the
farm located on cut-over lands near
Hattiesburg has been made, there has
arisen considerable discussion of the
question as to whether or not such a
farm would be desirable to citizens
of this county.
Many have expressed the opinion
that since the legislature has made
an appropriation for the purchase of
the lands, it does not look reasonable
to ask Forrest county to donate them
to the state. They contend that such
an institution would be of very little
benefit to the county, and that so
many convicts as would be employed
upon it would be altogether undesira-
BILE. They think the state should buy
the lands at a reasonable price, in the
event the penitentiary trustees should
decide to locate the farm in this coun-
ty. as the benefit to be derived from ii
would not Offset the value of the
land and the inducement offered is
not sufficient to warrant free dona
ton of such a large tract.

Washington, d. c., March 1S.-After
the longest and bitterest session that
has marked the present congress,
during which clashing and wrangling
marked the debate on the attempt Of
the insurgent Republicans and Demo-
Gratis to overthrow the rules and
Speaker Cannon, the House of Repre-
sentatives took recess shortly before
o'clock this afternoon.
All manner of rumors were current
throughout the day. Conferences
were held by the regular Republicans
and the insurgent Republicans, and
committees from these two factions
held meetings at which it was at
tempted to bring about truce.
Many radical proposals were made.
An effort to throw Speaker Cannon
out was talked of, and the sergeant

glect of duty, in not hunting up alb

with dismissal

MUCH BEER Is POURED
INTO STREETS OF MOBILE

Mobile. Ala, March lS.-Beer flowed
through the streets in this puritanical
old city for a little while Wednesday
afternoon. and many evidently thirsty
individuals stood around with a long
inc look on their faces and thought,
no doubt, that the world was going
to the demnition bow-wows
The scene of the amber flow was at
the Mobile Brewery, and the liquid
that was turned into the gutter con-
sisted of $50 barrels that were con-
tanned in the big vat, and on which
no one wanted to pay the government
tax of 81 per barrel
The beer has become famous on
account of the litigation over it in the
past few months. The court ruled
that when the bill was filed in court
to declare the brewery a nuisance
that it was not a nuisance at that
time. and refused to order the sheriff
to do anything with it.
f&hen the Fuller law was first pass
ed nd the sheriff got busy seizing
all nquors stored about the city, he
came on to this lot of beer, and here
he ran into an obstacle which he
could not surmount, and that was
thatsthe government tax had not been
: maid Oh the beer, and to take it out OF
the watts he would have to pay the
xbyernment tax. The sheriff could
net .,ffix q government stamp on the
goods, not being the brewer, SO he
could NOT take possession of it, even
Il b e, was anxious enough to get it to
.Sfag the tax.

Philadelphia, March 1S.-The strike
situation here is about the same. In
spite of the announcement. that Sen
ator Pemrose was coming here to lend
his efforts toward a settlement, he
did not show up and conferences
held last night and today and at

ber out and business is being injured.

Another View.

On the other hand, there are those
who believe the location in Forrest
county of a state convict farm would
be of great benefit They think that
it would be even more desirable than
small experiment station, as it
would be intensely cultivated and the
soil compelled to yield just as much
as it is possible for it to do. The
state farms, they claim, are operated
for revenue only, and the most sci
entific methods of cultivation are en-
ployed in producing crops from them.
They contend that the county could
well afford to donate to the state the
required 1000 acres, as, otherwise,
the land will in all probability remain
idle, and the state may as well get
the revenue and at the same time fur
nish a practical demonstration of
what the soil will produce.
1t is understood that the trustees
have intimated that in the event the
land should be donaed to the state,
the farm will be located in Forrest
county, and there seems to be no
doubt that the tender will be made,
either by an individual, or jointly, by
a number of citizens who have idle
lands for which they have no particu-
lar use.
1t has been suggested that the loca-
tion of this farm in Forrest county
would increase by fifty per cent the
value of all cut-over lands in this
section. and for this reason it is con.
tended that it would be paying prop
ostion to donate to the state the re-
Quired 1000 acres

General William T. Martin, one of the
few surviving Major Generals of the
Confederate army, and a member OF
the JEFF Davis Legion, died Wednes-
day evening at his home, "Montaigne,~

eighth year. The funeral took place
Thursday evening from the Presbyte-

On last Thursday night he sui
a stroke of appoplexy and fell

concussion of the brain, which
tually caused his death.
Gen. Martin leaves a widow, MRS.
Margaret d. Conner Martin, and four
sons and five daughters. The sons
are Judge William c. Martin, Lewis

LAWS PUBLICITY
CLAUSE QUASHED
WANT OF APPROPRIATION TO
ENFORCE IT, GIVEN AS
REASON.

Minneapolis, March AT practic-
ally the eleventh hour for Minneapolis
corporations TO make reports at the
revenue department under the require
ments of the new corporation tax law,
Deputy Collector III. r. Dains received
ruling from Washington which is
said virtually to eliminate that portion
of the law to which so much objec-
ton has been raised-the publicity
clause.
The ruling says: Congress appro-
pr1ated 100000 to carry into effect
the provisions of the law. Under gem
eral statutes no portion of this APP
preparation is available for use In the
District of Columbia. The returns
cannot be opened to general inspec-
tion in the District of Columbia with
out the expenditure of "a substantial
sum of money. If, therefore, It was
the intent of congress to make these
returns open to general inspection, 1t
will be necessary for 1t to appropriate
a sum sufficient to cover the necessary
expense Until this Is done. this bu-
reau rules that the returns made I'M
der this law are to he handled just
as returns made under other internal
revenue statutes"
That this ruling means the quashing
for all time of the publicity clause is
the opinion of a Minneapolis attorney
who has studied the law and followed
the objection against It. He also said
that the government would accomplish
its every purpose without the clause.
