JAP TREATY IS
 NOW EFFECTIVE

New York, July 1.-The new treaty of commerce and navigation between the United States and Japan went into op- eration today, replacing the old treaty negotiated during Secretary Greshams administration. The important point of difference between the two conventions lies in the omission from the new conven- tion of the paragraph in the old treaty relating to immigration restrictions, which was objectionable to the Japanese, the United States relying upon the honor of Japan to carry out the spirit of existing undertakings which prevent the departure of Japanese coolies to America.

MISS HURST DIES
 IN PARKWAY EGYPT
Though Buried in Egypt a Blount County Minister
 Holds Services

Ashvile. July 17.-(Special. )-News reaches here of the death of Miss Ella way Hurst, in far away Egypt who died in Faymoun, Egypt, on May 17, 1911, hav- ing been a victim of smallpox. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Hurst of Oneonta, Route No. 1, and was born in St. Clair county December 21, 1888, and moved to Blount county when small child She was converted at the age of 13 at Gift Springs church, in this county, during revival conducted by Rev. Brasher. In 1907 she told her parents that the Lord had called her to be sent to the foreign field and that she was prepared to go, but she met with much Encouragement at the hands of her rela- tives and friends, who told her Of the hardships and tolls that she would have to endure, but she smiled and said, "The Lord has called me and I must go.' Much good was accomplished through her in the foreign field during her four years in life heather land. She learned the Arabic language in one year. She left her home on October 19, 1907 Miss Hurst was buried in far away Egypt. She leaves number of friends and relatives in this and Blount county to mourn her death. On June 20 her funeral services were held at White Cross Camp Ground church, Blount county, by Rev. John l.. Brasher and Wallace Murphree.
 St. Clair county was the first county in the state to put up $2O0O to6build a road in this county and then to ask the state for like amount under a law of the recent legislature. Now 1t is up to the road commissioners whether the money will be expended on this side of the moun- tain or on the southern division. The northern division stands the best chance for this money the first year. In the event the northern division gets the first s4000. then it will probably be expended on the road between Ashville and St. Clair Springs, making a pike all the way. About six miles of the road Is already cherted, but with the $4000 a good road can be built The bill as passed by the last legislature calls for rght-of-way of 50 feet and all the money to be ex- pended together.
 It has been raining in this section near ly every day since the 10th of June, and the crops have enough rain and some to spare The crops are well worked and growing splendidly. The present outlook
 is most f1attering for very large cot ton and corn crop.

VETS REUNION
 AT BLUE SPRINGS

Eufaula July 17.-(Special.) )-Citizens of Blue Springs and the surrounding section have arranged to have a reunion of the Confederate veterans of the county at that place for two days beginning on July 20.
 Invitations have been extended H. D.. Clayton and Col. E. P. Thomas to de- liver addresses on the occasion and a grand free-for-all spread will be among the features of the exercises. The serv- ices of the Cornet band of Abbeville have been secured to furnish music and every thing will be done to make the old sol diers joyous and happy.
 It has also been learned that arrange ments are perfecting to have a similar affair in this city on July 25, but so far no official programme has been an- nounced.
 The city of Clayton is enjoying some thing in the way of a boom in many new and substantial improvements that are now going on there. Two of the old wooden store houses that have adorned the town for nearly half a century have been torn away and substantial brick structures are being erected instead. The courthouse has been repaired and given a fresh coat of paint and some new residences are also going up.
 Master Edward, a little Syear-od son of Mrs. Willie Olien, is suffering from broken ankle bone, the result of an injury sustained while playing ball.
 The Chautauqua which is proposed to be held here under the auspices of the Wharton Memorial association during Oc- tober is assuming proportions that prom ise to prove highly interesting and en- tertainng. Among other features of the programme It has been learned that Booth Lowery of Mississippi. w. F.. Sears of Illinois, and Mrs. Florence Maybricl1 of English prison renown will be among the lecturers. An effort will also be ex- erted to secure Hon. William Jennings Bryan for a lecture.
