TWO NEGROES LYNCHED
For Attempt to Poison Farmer and His
Family.

Louisville.-The dead bodies of Cliff
Jones and Bruce White, both negroes,
and half-brothers, were found dangling
from the limb of tree three miles west
of here
Both negroes were in the employ OF
johnson Pearson, a prominent planter,
and had been placed under arrest for an
alleged attempt to poison Mr.. Pearson
and his family by placing solution OF
strychnine, obtained from rat poison, in
their drinking water.
The men were taken away from dep
uty sheriff by mob and lynched.
Mr.. Pearson reprimanded Jones for
cruelty to a horse, and later in the day
he refused to advance him money to pur-
chase suit of clothes. This evidently
angered the negro and, according to
confession which he made when arrested,
led him to seek revenge.
Mr.. Pearson detected bitter taste in
the drinking water on Thursday night,
and upon investigation found that
strychnne had been placed in the bucket.
lie also discovered that a vial of the
poison that had been kept in the barn
for the purpose of poisoning rats, was
missing When confronted by Mr.. Pear
son, Jones admitted that he had put
strychnne in the water and implicated
his half-brother, Bruce White, in the
crime.

GOOD ROADS OF STATE.
Reports From Washington and Other
Counties.


Jackson.-Field Agent Edgar Cunning
OF the Good Roads Association of the de-
partment of agriculture has commenced
hls activities towards the investigation
OF the work that is being done in the
various counties of the state towards
the betserment of road conditions.
Mr.. Cunning received letters from the
county, which has what are believed to
be the finest system Of roads in the state
$40 miles having been placed in first
class shape with an expenditure of only
100000. The remaining "a miles will
be developed during the coming year,
and there is said to be sufficient money
left out of the 100000 appropriation to
care for the improvement.
"Other counties in the state seem to
have been spurred by the splendid work
of Washington county enthusiasts said
Mr.. Cunning. "The iron drag system is
one easy of operation after the roads
are properly drained and piled sufficient
ly high above the bitches to prevent
overflow of the bitches. | have been
told that some of the other counties in
the northern parts of the state will SIM
ilarly bond themselves to the develop
ment of their roads and am confident
that it will be but a matter of a few
years before the state will be eagerly
sought on account of its excellent road
facilities"

PACKERS MUST BE TRIED
Judge Carpenter Rules That the Sher-
man Law Is Constitutional.

The big packers of Chicago must
go to court. Judge George A. Carpen-
ter in the United States district court
declared that the Sherman antitrust
law is constitutional and that the in
dictments charging j. Ogden Armour
and other packers with violating it's
provisions are valid
The court overruled demurrers filed
by counsel on behalf Of the packers.
The attack upon the constitutional
itv of the Sherman antitrust law if
upheld by the court would have affect
ed every government prosecution un-
der this law.
The decision is believed to practi-
cally wipe out every teohnicality which
might be urged before the packers
are forced to trial.
There are three indictments stand
ing against the packers involved. The
first charges the existence of an lille
gal combination, the second charges
a conspiracy and the third charges
the existence of a monopoly.

L..ukiliSSija is OUT
OF TAF7'S CABINET
Henry L. Simpson Of New York
to Succeed Him.
Change Is to Take Place Soon, Prob
ably at End of Next Week
Presidents New Adviser
an Able Man.

Henry L. Stimson of New York is to
succeed Jacob NJ. Dickinson of Tennes-
sec as secretary of war in the cabinet
of President Taft.
Announcement of Mr. Dickinson's
resignation and the selection of Mr..
Stinson as his successor was made
at the White House. Mr.. Dickinson's
resignation will become effective i'm
modiately upon the qualification of
Mr.. Stimson. The understanding here
is that Mr.. Stlmson will take the oath
Of office aud enter upon his new duties
the latter part of the week.
The resignation of Secretary Dick
inscn marks the second break in the
Taft cabinet. Richard A. Ballinger
hanIcd in his resignation as secretary
OF the interior March and was sue
oeeded a week later by Walter l..
fisher of Illinois.
Secretary Dickinson gives business
reasons as his motive for retiring
from the cabinet. While there have
reen reports in the past year that Mr..
Di kinson contemplated returning to
Priv att life, the official announce ment
of !. is resignation came as a surprise
to official and political Washington.
.ir. Stimson's nomination will give
New York two places in the cabinet,
George w. Wickersham of that state
now holding the office OF attorney gen.
era
The official correspondence given
out at the White House shows that
Secretary Dickinson presented his
letter of resignation to the president
April %. The president accepted the
resignation on May 8, Mr.. Taft having
arranged in the meantime for the ap-
roirtment of Mr.. Stimson.
1t was explained in behalf of Mr..
Dickinson that most of his private for
tune is invested in coal company in
Tennessee. The concern was recent
ly placed in the hands of a receiver.
In order better to protect his inter-
est Mr. Dickinson decided to resign.
1t is his purpose to return to his home
in Tennessee.
White House officials made 1t known
that Mr.. Taft selected Mr.. Stimson for
the war portfolio on his own motion.
The president has high regard for
the New Yorker, whose record in the
office of United States attorney for
New York was eulogized by Mr.. Taft
in the campaign last year.
Mr.. Stimson resigned soon after
President Taft was inaugurated, but
continued the prosecution of the sugar
fraud cases as special counsel. When
the Saratoga convention last summer
was brought under the control of Col
onel Roosevelt Mr.. Stimson received
the nomination for governor.

to this part of the country
w. S. Thompson, head of the Mssis-
sippi Colonization Association, with
headquarters in llattiesburg, discussed
the plans and purposes of his organiza-
tlon. He reiterated the fact that they
propose to give away 100000 acres of
cut-over lands to bona fide settlers who
must live on the lands donated for
three consecutive years. The publicity
already given their plan, said the speak
er, have already brought a number of
letters from leading journals and maya
zines asking for stories of their plans
and the nature of lands, climate and
such other information as an Eastern
or Middle West farmer might want to
know. Mr.. Thompson made clear the
point that they are not giving away
10000 acres of land in Southern Missis-
sippi for the pleasure of donating it, but
that they propose to sell the remainder

FOR BETTER SCHOOLS.
New Organization Is Formed By State
Educators,

Jackson.-Cne feature of the recent
convention of the Mississippi school
teachers that has net been given the
publicity it deserved was the organiza-
ton perfected among the representa-
tiVes of the preparatory schools of the
state, to be known as the mississippi
Association of Preparatory Schools
The purpose of the organization is
to foster a spirit of cooperation and
friendship among the schools, and to
bring about harmony of methods in
teaching the preparatory courses.
Statistics prepared by members of
the organization show that about 1000
students leave the state every year to
attend preparatory schools in other
states. 1t will be one object of the
organization to try to stem this tide
and to show to the people of Missis-
sipp that the state is equipped with
school system comparable i'll every
way with the schools OF other states.

Quarterly Report Shows Phenomenal In
crease in Business.

Jackson.-Thc vast progress that the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad
has made during the past year is clearly
evidenced in their quarterly report of
earnings, filed in the Office of the Mis-
sissipp Railroad Commission.
Quarterly reports of other railroads
operating in the state have shown a
deficit of thousands of dollars when COM
pared with the report for the correspond
ing quarter of 1910. The Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley road not oaly shows
a net expenditure in improvements great
er than any other line thus far reported,
but shows an increase in net opera ting
revenues of over fifty per cent.
The total operating revenues for the
quarter were $2,s6S, ,319.41 and the total
operating expenses $1,959, 1924, there
by effecting net operating revenue for
the quarter of $9O9, ,1S2.17. In 1910 this
figure was only $5s6,452.6S, and the
mathematical comparison shows an in
crease of 1922, ,729.49 in actual net reve-
nues for the quarter.
