WORK BEGINS ON new
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
SUNDAY SCHOOLROOMS
OLD HOUSE BEING TORN DOWN
TO MAKE WAY FOR THE
NEW HOUSE.
AMOUNT Il kfARLy RAISED
Financial Committee Has Already
Twelve Thousand Dollars In Hand.
Plans Being Submitted to Building
Committee for Approval.

Work on new Presbyterian church
addition was begun Tuesday
when force of laborers under the di-
rection of John w. Jewell began tear
ing down the old Wilson Tucker
house which Is located on the eastern
end of the church lot, and on part
of which ground the new addition will
stand when completed. The contract
for this work was given out yester-
day, part of the lot, since its di-
vision, being owned by w. G. Salmon,
and the other end being the property
of the church.
The financial committee, which was
appointed at recent meeting OF the
congregation of the church, has raised
about $4,000. This committee Is
composed of G. A. Parker, W. S.
Fleming, w. A. Dale and H. o. Full
ton
The six members of the building
committee, E. E. McLemore, ]. d.
Dobbins, Horace Rainey, Eugene An
derson, J. P. Street and J. l.. Hut
ton, are looking over several plans
which have been submitted for their
approval. When the one is selected
that is to be used, 1t Is certain that
the architect will have designed one
of the most beautiful churches In the
country.
The house which Is being destroy
ed to make room for the church Is one
of the land marks OF Columbia. 1t
was built by Wilson Tucker more
than seventy-five years ago. Mr..
Tucker lived in this house during the
Civil War, and at one time the fed
eral soldiers demanded that he open
the door and give them his money.
This the old man refused to do, and
the door was forced open with the sol.
diers' bayonets. The marks of this
enforced entrance are still plainly vis.
ible on the door and the facing.
The material which is being taken
out of the old house will be used To
build several smaller tenant houses
near South Side Park.

TEST AGAINST THE
BILL.
CLAIM That IT IS INJURIOUS

a Law, VIII Impose Great Burden
On the Agricultural intercsts-calI
Bill iniquitous Measure.

Petitions the members of both the
upper and lower branch of Congress
are being sent out over the county
against the Canadian reciprocity bill.
About 200 names, 1t Ia claimed, have
already been secured to the petitions,
and it is predicted by those pushing
the movement that this number will
be greatly increased before the con-
vening of the special session of Con-
gress on April 4.
There are many reasons set forth
In the petition opposing the bill. One
of the chief ones is that it will Inn
pose burden on the farming element
which 1t will take years to relieve.
1t is claimed in the petition that 1t
gives the Canadian farmers an adj
vantage over the American farmers
in trading relations with this coun-
try, as many of the large cities are
near the border line of Canada.
The petition in full follows:
We, the undersigned farmers and
citizens of Maury county, do hereby
ask and advise our representatives
(not only from this section, but State
at large) In the upper and lower
house to vote and do all within their
power against the bill called the "Ca.
madam Reciprocity Bill as we think
that said measure will impose bur.
den upon the farming element that
1t will take years to relieve. This
bill puts our products on free trade
basis and compels us to buy from pro-
tected manufacturers Also 1t sives
to the Canadian farmers in coinpeti.
tion with us all the advantage OF the
best markets in the United States
which are our large cities scattered

For the above and many other rea
sons we beg OF you to impose this in.

D. Sheldon, alias Charles d. Wash
burn, Of Montreal, Canada, who is
wanted In that city on the charge OF
embezzlement, said to involve nearly
$4,000, ,0d0, was arrested here late to
day by private detective. Sheldon
who was also known here as G. W
Cross, admitted that he was a fugi.
tive from Canada. All information
by the local authorities charges him
with embezzlement and receiving
money by false pretenses in the sum
of $5OO,0O0.
When the detective approached Shel,
don he made a sensational attempt
to escape and was captured only at.
ter an exciting chase. When brought
to the central police station Sheldon
asked permission to use the tele
phone. He called up local stock
broker and gave orders to close out
his deals on the local stock exchange
Sheldon, according to the police
disappeared from Montreal last Oc
tober. His stock operations there are
said to have excied the suspicion OF
the authorities and Montreal news
paper. Sheldon maintained that he
was doing a legitimate business and
offered to submit his books to the
crown attorney. for complete investi
cation. On October 13, he suddenly
disappeared before the officials had
an opportunity to investigate further
1t was learned that he had closed his
Iaccounts at several banks.

Tonight, after asking about the ex

States and Canada, Sheldon said:
We'll, l am the man wanted and
guess the best thing for me to do II
to waive all extradition rights"
Following Sheldon's departure from
Montreal, anewspaper which hat
questioned his financial transaction
offered a reward of $4,000 for his
arrest.
About three years ago Sheldon open
ed an office in Montreal and carried
on an investment and brokerage bust
ness. He advertised extensively. Fol

I50 per cent on the investments month
lily. In a short time money came rour
ing into his Office from all parts ol
Canada. The fact that large divi
dends had been paid to a large mum
ber Of his customers attracted wide
spread attention, and 1t is said, In
vestors fell over each other to give
Sheldon their money. !. Agents were
employed in many towns and cities te

time a newspaper became suspicious
and commenced an investigation. FOL

In conjunction with these practical
courses the students are given the
advantages of the public and high
schools studies, and can, while obtain
ing knowledge of farming and do
nestle science, obtain also an elemen-
tary education.
Where the schools are established
the law requires the erection of a
dormitory that will accommodate not
less than forty pupils. giving students
from all sections of the county an op-
portunity to attend the school. The
size of the school building and the ac-
commodations afforded is left with
the county, and is determined by the
prospective enrolment, but the facil
tiles can be increased with the de-
mand
Superintendent Currie is very en-
thusiastic about the establishment of
the school in Forrest county and sees
bright future for it, and the great
addition it will be to the school sys-
TEN and educational institutions the
county now possesses. Several com,
munities in the county stand ready
/ to offer inducements for the location
of the school in their midst, one OF
which has already offered 100 acres
of land and other inducements to Sc
cure the school. The county school
board viii have the decision of the To-
cation of the school and it has al
ready been decided that no offer car
rying with it less than 100 acres ol
land will be considered. This would
give the school plenty of land fol

of the school property considerably il

valuable investment to the county.

plans of the school board and the es
tablishment of the school becomes

the citizens come to real
ize that no part of their taxes goes for
a more worthy cause.
Supervisors Can Make Levy.
The county Board of Supervisors
make the additional levy for the agri-
cultural school purposes and the mat
ter does not have to be submitted to
an election unless 20 per cent of the
qualified voters shall petition against
it, in which event an election will be
ordered to decide on the levy.
1t is not known exactly how many
counties of the state have taken ad-
vantgae of the act of the Legislature
and established these schools, but at
least a majority of them have done so
and in nearly all the others the ques-
tion is being agitated, and at the rate
the schools have been established
since the act became effective it will
be but a short while before every
county in the state has an Agricultural
High School. The adjoining county
of Jones has recently completed the
erection of a school building for the
purpose, and a number of the neigh
boring counties have them in opera
ton. No section of Mississippi should
be more eager to take advantage of
the provision for the establishment OF
the schools than the piney woods sec

developed but fertile land, and get

more than willing for the establish
