Germany, Discusses Prob
lem With Acting Secretary.

DR.. David Jayne Hill. United States
ambassador to Germany, arrived here
last night from New York and is at
the Arlington Hotel. Today he called
on the President and the officials of
the State Department, but the nature
or his business was not disclosed.
DR.. Hill said he was very glad that
Congress had decided to appropriate
money for the purchase of embassy
and legation buildings abroad.
"All countries do it," he said, land
those that began earlier have profited
most because they got their properties
cheap"
DR.. Hill would not talk about the
smith Munsterberg controversy over in
vitations to recent "Schleppencour"
given by the kaiser. He is not home on
the usual leave of absence but to de-
liver at Columbia University. New York.
a series of eight lectures on World
J Organization as Affected by the Nature
of the Modern State" Afterward he
expects to visit his home in Rochester.
He will be in the United States four or
five weeks
Potash a Topic of Discussion.
Ambassador Hill conferred with Acting
Secretary Wilson and other officials OF
the State Department this afternoon In
regard to the potash controversy between
the United States and Germany. After
long talk with Mr.. Wilson, the am
hassador conferred for several hours
with John B. Osborne and Mack II. Davis

department. During the early stages OF
the dispute Mr.. Davis was sent to Berlin
by the State Department in an effort to
bring the factions together.
The purpose of Mr. Hills visit to WASH

ment, was to make an oral report in re-
gard to various phases Of the situation
from the German point OF view. ana also
to acuuaint the ambassador intimately
with the official view of Washington as
developed by the diplomatic interchange
over the situation. The American reply
to the first note from Germany Is noM
in the hands of that government, anu
il was pointed out by officials of the de-
partment that it is now Germany's move
in the problem.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. March 24.-Dr. c.
F. z. Caricristi. one Of the leaders of
the revolutionary junta. has dispatched
by courier a letter to Francisco I. Ma
dero. provisional president of the repub-
lie Of Mexico, informing him that the
Mexican insurrectos can hope for nothing
less than American Intervention within
the next thirty days unless the revolu-
tionists succeed in driving the federal
troops from the state Of Chihuahua and
in restoring normal business conditions in
northern Mexico.
1t Is the opinion Of DR.. Caricristi, who
is lawyer. physician and world traveller,
that financial interests of America,
France. Germany and Great Britain have
been responsible for the move on the part
Of the administration at Washington in
concentrating a division Of troops within
an easy striking distance of the Mexican
border.
Has Had Important Part.
DR.. Caricristi reached San Antonio from
Washington and New York. Those who
have known the part he has played in
the revolutionary movement insist that he
has played a far more important part in
the organization Of the revolt against the
Mexican government than has Francisco
I. Madero, recognized as the leader Of the
movement.
In an interview DR.. Caricristi said: "Of
course. q complete federal triumph in
Chihuahua and the restoration Of COM
munication and other business would
avoid intervention. but 1 do know abso-
lutely that President Taft is determined
that order shall be restored. and that
quickly. by one side or the other in
Mexico, with the alternative of interview
ton.
II have reason to believe that May
10 the date set for the termination OF
President Tafts patience with the dis
order south of the Rio Grande. Neither
side wants intervention, and I believe
firmly that federals and revolutionists
would make common cause against an in
vader.
Vast Financial Interests.
Recently I compiled statistics which
show that there is a billion dollars of
American money in Mexico and that the
interests of Europe amount to about half
that sum. 1t is a fact that Is per cent
Of the credit in Mexico is in the hands
Of Americans and Europeans
DR.. Caricrisu has received a confirma-
ton Of the story that Gen. Madero has
moved his army to q point near Chi
huahua City. According to authentic ad-
vices which reached DR.. Caricristi today.
Gen. Madero was shot in the right arm
q fortnight ago while engaged in a battle
with a small detachment of federal
| troops.

THE WILLOWS PICNIC.
None but County Candidates, but
an Enjoyable Day.

The people of the second
district entertained a large crowd
at county picnic at Willows last
Thursday. The day was good, as
was also the speaking by the coun-
ty candidates, and the dinner-well
it was hard to beat. AS one of the
candidates afterwards said, "If
there is hard times in the country
there was no indication of it at
Willows"
Mr.. ]. B. McMurchy was mas
ter of ceremonies, introducing the
various candidates in an appropri-
ate manner.
Those who spoke were Hon. ]
g. Spencer, candidate for senator;
L. Aired and T. A. Luster, candi-
dates for representative; I. D.
Thames. candidate for district at
torney; c. A. French and M. NJ.
Satterheld, candidates for county
attorney; S. ]. Russell and T. V.
Rush, candidates for superintend-
ent of education.
All outlined their respective po-
sitions on the various questions
connected with the various Offices
to which they aspire, and all were
given respectful hearing. Each
fellow is sure be made votes, get

money had to be paid by taxes

ator Percy, and he felt he owed a
duty to Mississippi to defeat the
bill.
Added to the present pension
appropriations, the payment of
four million dollars year by Mis-
sissippi people to pension so-called
Federal soldiers, while they only
pay four hundred thousand dol
lars a year for the sick and disabled
Confederate veterans. 1t was only
the last hour of the session the
Republicans abandoned this pro-
posed increased party asset when
advised that they would (the DEM
ocrats) defeat the bill by prevent
ing the passage OF the appropria.
ton bills. And United States
Senator Percy had prepared and
been selected to deliver another
speech in order to accomplish its
defeat.
United States Senator Leroy
Percy digressed from his pension
speech to oppose the bill creating
the tariff commission-and this
measure was killed in conference
and failed to become a law. He
downed two bills in one speech,

stone"

weevil is ravaging our farmers, is
a very important factor in our
school problem. The consolidated
school with transportation for the
pupils is cheaper than the old sYs-
TEN, perhaps not always diminish
ing the amount expended but in
giving more value for it. There
is no doubt but the people receive
larger returns for the money which
they have invested. 1t also re-
moves the necessity of the farmer
moving to town to educate his
children or his having to send them
away from home in order that they
may receive high school educa-
ton.
With these and many more ad-
vantages we might say that the
consolidated school increases the
va ue of real estate, but better still
il enriches the lives of our young
people. This centralized school
has more dignity, character, and
force than the rural school, and
creates more interest, support, and
pride on the part of the people.
1t is superior in every respect to
the one teacher school and has
been SO demonstrated by expert
euce. The objections to consoli-
dation are almost entirely imagi-
nary, or selfish. Our own narrow,
cramped ideas, or little trivial ex-
cuses are offered to sustain us in
our attack upon the most precious
of our children, namely
schools.

rience as a candidate, l am known

As I am the hrst Herlong who
has ever offered himself to you for
Office, I am forced to run entirely
on my own merits. This I intend
to do, not attempting to ride into
Office on any mans coat tail', nor
seeking to promote my own inter-
est by casting any reflection what
ever upon the characters of the
estimable gentlemen who are op-
posing me. l am asking for the
Office of assessor, knowing that I
am competent to discharge its du-
ties, and because 1 need the money
that it pays. Ny life has been
lived in your midst and my record
as a citizen is open for your inves-

FIGHTING DEMOCRAT.
For Sheriff. D. |. BrIdgers.

David Irwin Bridgers, who has
wisely selected the office of sheriff
of Claiborne county, Mississippi,
as behtting his qualifications to be
candidate for the Democratic
nomination in the forthcoming Au-
gust primary, is a typical AmerI-
can citizen. Be is native of the
good county of Claiborne, and the
purest of our strain, for he springs
from stock that were pioneers to
Mississippi during the Spanish
regime of Gov. Don Manuel Gay
osode Lemor. Mr.. Bridgers was
Democrat boy during the black
peril of Reconstruction. Many a
time he was on picket duty for the
party he loved SO well-the Dem
ocratic party that has contributed
SO much to the blessings of free in
shtutIons in Mississippi. He is
not of the type of Democrat that
lis always proclaiming, 81 am
Democrat" bur was a Democrat
when to be one was worth a mans
heart blood with the opposition OF
Republicans, Greenbackers and
Populists. A strict party man, be
has always enjoyed the admiration
of men of opposite faiths and op-
posite beliefs.
David Irwin Bridgers is the mas
ter of Beechgrove plantation,
where surrounded by an interest
ing family and his books devoted
time to the problems of agricul-
ture. After all the cultivators of
the soil are our best citizens, His
reputation as long staple cotton
grower has been established, and
Allen, Archer, Magruder, Humph-
reys and himself are names that
have given ''long staple cotton"
fame to Claiborne county.
We say "any fool can make cot
ton, but it takes a good farmer to
make corn. Mr.. Bridgers dem.
onstrates that he is a good farmer
because he not only makes corn,
but breeds corn. Breeding corn is
a talent and his improved Nc
Corkle, improved Parchman and
Bridgers' Prolific White Strains of
corn shows talent of the highest
order. We marvelled at his corn
exhibit at the Claiborne County
Fair of 1910. It won the prize at
our Fair and with no disparage-
ment to his competitors, P. P.
Garner, the Corn Judge, informed
the writer that it would have taken
the first prize at the Mississippi
State Fair.
Should he, Mr.. Bridgers, be
called to the shrievalty of Clai-
borne, he will ever be active in the
agricultural, industrial and politi-
cal progress of county and state
which he has always served faith
fully in these lines.

The suIIoway Pension Bill.

The Civil War has cost the
American people more in pensions
to the Federal soldiers than the
war itself. We are this day sup
porting with Federal pensions
numberless foreign mercenaries
who came over to fight the South
ern States for money, and in one
foreign country, Germany, they
draw six millions from the Federal
treasury. Another raid was planned
towards the close of the sixty first
congress of the United States by
the SuIloway Pension Bill. United
States Senator Leroy Percy of
Mississippi made a speech on the
Sulloway Pension Bill and it was
the only speech that has been
made by a Southern Democrat in
the United States Senate against
general pensions. The Southern
Senators have let pension bills go
through without opposition SO as
not to create feeling, and have.
their position misunderstood, and
said nothing while the pension
burden grew heavier aud heavier
with each succeeding congress.
Their stand was the correct one.
tor the late seeding states, but
this bill coming nearly half a CEN
tury alter the war between the
states, proposed an increase of
fifty million dollars of pensions,
and to be added to a pension bill
of over one hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars.
1t was time to protest, for if we
did not then, there was no end to.
it and by taxation our property
could be taken away by the FEEDER
al tax gatherer to pay additional
millions to grating soldiers. The
measure was iniquitous and extrav
agant and United States Senator
Leroy Percy of Mississippi cor
rectly judged the sentiment of the
country when he protested against
it and he saw that the Republicans
we're determined to force the meas
ure through the last days of the
session without discussion.
The bill failed of passage alter
Senator Percy's speech, and again
they called it up an hour before
adjournment and again failed Of
passage.
It's the first time since the civil
war that a general pension bill
failed in the senate of the United
states. Percy's speechs and the
only speech against it, contributed
to the defeat of the bill. United
States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
of Massachusetts, a Republican,
made a short statement On the last
day the bill was offered, as to the
immense debt that the bill would
put upon the people it it was
passed, corroborating the figures
Senator Percy had used. The bill

WHY?

Because thousands of taxpayers
believe Ex-Governor Vardaman
mixed their funds with his own and
used them, and had to be aided by
friends to raised what he did pay
over.
Because he failed to pay over the
Spanish American war fund for
months after leaving the Cover
nor's Office, and failed to pay over
Bryan Fund for months afterwards,
and failed to pay over the Battle
ship Fund until after he had bor-
rowed $4,000 and them paid It
over after threats of an investiga-
ton, and after repeated demands.
Because he publicly promised his
supporters in his Caucus to clear up
these matters.
Because the books are the only
way now of finding the facts.
