An experiment is to be made to as
certain whether free delivery can be
made practicable in small towns, among
people who under the existing laws do
not share in the privileges which have
been given to cities and to rural dist
riots. The experiment is to be made
in way similar to the method employ,
ed in testing the efficiency of the rural
delivery system before that was finally
adopted, by selecting one town In each
state in which mail will be delivered,
as it is in cities, for specified period,
and if the result proves satisfactory
congress will probably authorize the
postoffice department to extend the
free delivery system to all of the small
towns and villages in the country. All
mail will then be delivered at the doors
of practically all the people in the
United States. thereby providing a
service that will be unexcelled in any
country in the world.

W. PERMENTER KILLED
SHOT FROM AMBUSH AT HOME OF
HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW.
Shot to Death While Visiting His Brother,
Swinton Permentcr, Who Is Ac-
cused of Numbering Miss Sharpe
at Louisville.

Eupora.-Another chapter to the feud
Arising out of the killing Of Miss jamie
Sharpe at Louisville, July %, 1910, for
which crime, Swinton Permenter was con-
victed and is awaiting a second trial, was
added when Walter Permenter, brother
of Swinton, was shot and killed while on
the back porch of the home of his brother
in-law, D. Shewmate, in this town.
The only clew as to the identity of the
assassin was furnished by Noel Myers,
a %neighbor, who saw a man running
across lots following the report of a shot
gun.
Permenter went out on the back gal
lery to get a drink of water, when, with
outw raining, a shot rang out and he fell,
| the charge of both barrels of a shotgun
embedded in his body. Death was almost
instantaneous.
Walter Permenter is the second victim
to be murdered since the killing of Miss
jamie Sharpe near Louisville, for which
kerime his brother is accused. Detective
Walker, who claimed to have prosf
against a man named McElroy, who live
near the Permsnters, was murdered whil'
seated in his home early in the presen
year. He had tracked McElroy to Texa
and caused his return to Winston county
No evidence has ever been adduced sui
stantiating Walkers claims that McE
roy had anything to do with JAM
Sharpe's murder.

KICK AGAINST DIPPING.
Rankin County Farmers Have No Faith
in the Method.

Jackson.@Governor Brewer has ~
ceived a protest signed by about thirty
citizens of the Pearson neighborhood, in
Rankin county, against the regulations
of the Live Stock Sanitary Board requir-
ing the dipping Of live stock at regular
intervals.
The protest declares that the public
dipping vat is a nuisance, and a cruelty
to animals; that the farmers of that
%neighborhood know of a number of sick
and crippled cattle caused by dipping,
and that a number nave died from the
same cause; that live stock in that neigh
borhood is poorer and in worse shape
generally than ever before, and they dc
not believe in dipping cattle as a means
| of preventing tick fever, anyhow.
Closely following the petition, DIR. W
A. Clemens, veterinarian in charge OF
the cattle tick eradication work in Ran
kin county, issues a friendly warning t.
farmers that persons who fail to dil
their cattle once every fourteen days viii
be prosecuted to the full extent of tn
law.

SUES FOR LOST E E
W. A. WEIGH Claims B%aggageman Drank
It and Became Abusive.

Jackson.-A rather peculiar and UNI
usual ground of complaint is alleged by
w. A. Welch, a citizen OF Byram, in a
suit which he has brought against the
New Orleans Great Northern Railroad
Company for $4,000, actual and punitive
damages. The action grows out OF an
incident of travel which occurred when
WEIGH boarded a train of the n. o. q. n.
at Georgetown, carrying a quantity oil
bottled beer. 1t is alleged that the con-
ductor of the train compelled him to
deposit his case of beer in the baggage
car; that while his back was turned the
b~aggagemaster proceeded to irrigate his
system with his beer; that when he re-
monstrated he was abused and insulted
in an unwarranted manner.
He holds that as a passenger ne "as
entitled to respect and protection anc
puts it up to the court and a jury to de
eide the point.

J. F. Mckay Tells of the Impressions
Prevailing Over the State in Regard
to Benefit to Be Derived From
Annual Event.

Jackson.-Mr. J. F. Mckay, formerly
secretary of the State Fair, but at pres.
ent field director of A. & NJ. College.
when asked what the people over the
state said of the fair, said:
"ln my rounds over the state holding
institutes ! find that the Mississippi fair
has been of the greatest service to the
state, for the people are taking up in
real earnest the live stock and poultry
business. They got their start from the
State Fair. Not only this, the people
come here to look up improved farm ma
chinery, gasoline engines and the like
They make many purchases of improved
implements that they would not make
were it not for the illustrations given
| and the lessons taught here OH the state
fair grounds.
you might say that due to the very
bad season people have been ~feelin:
somewhat blue, but now they are begin
| ming to feel that Results may be bette
than could have been expected in tn
spring. And in general, more than eve
before interest is being shown in pre-
gressive agriculture. All educationa
I forces and influences are attracting II
creased attention.
The splendid body of men who con
pose the directors of the State FAN
without remuneration, do not know wha
a vast service they have rendered to tn
people of the state. l am sure that
they had an oportunity of seeing wha
a splendid work they have accomplishe
they would feel that their services wei
amply repaid. The State Fair mu'
be kept up and growing. The poop
are coming here for education and II

The WORK OF
TICK ERADICATION
HAS BEEN REMARKABLY SUCCESS.
Full IN MISSISSIPPI,
MAKING A CLEAN SWEEP
DR.. ]. A. Herman, Who Has Jurisdiction
in Mississippi, Gives a Summary Of
the Results Accomplished
in This State.

Jackson.-Dr. J. A. Herman, chief in
spcctor of the work of cattle tick eradi-
cation, has issued the following circular
letter:
Tick eradication is going on like q
tidal wave, it is making a clean sweep,
dong the job thoroughly and doing it
right now.
During June, 1912, there were dipped
in arsenical solution in Mississippi 374,-
504 cattle.
1.-The following named counties are con-
Quoting an intensive campaign in eradi-
eating ticks, as is shown by the number
OF herds and total number of cattle dip
ped in each: Adams, Benton, Claiborne,
Grenada, Jefferson, Lafayette, Madison,
Monroe, Pamela, Warren, Yazoo, Attala,
Chickasaw, Coahoma, Kinds, Leake, Mar
shall, Lowndes, Noxubee, Rankin, Wash
ington.
IN each county reports continue to
come in of deaths of cattle, which on in
vestigation have been found to be due
to tick fever and blackleg. July, August,
September, and October are the months
each year when ticks are most plentiful
and under no circumstances should peo
pie neglect to dip their cattle regularly
every fourteen days until October 81.
All the counties now engaged in act
i've tick eradication work are lending
every effort to win one of the valuable
prizes that arc to be given at the STATE
Fair to the counties that obtain the bes
results. Up to the present time Their
have been promises of sixteen pure bre'
bull calves of the dairy and beef variety
which will be grouped probably in thre
prizes.
THE counties hat secure these valr
able calves and use them with discretio
will be able to show in a couple of year
the true worth of using pure bred bulls
Zone group prize will probably consis
of four Or five Jersey bulls. Anothe
=, prize, bulls of the beef variety. All thes
. bull calves will be exhibited at the Stat
Fair, and should be carefully observe
by every person attending the fair.

WORKING ON THE ROADS.
Convicts Building a Highway From the
Parchman Farm.

Jackson.-Dr. j. c. Gathings, superin-
tendent of the penitentiary, reports to
the trustees that he has resumed the
work of constructing a modern highway
from the Parchman farm to Indianola,
county seat of Sunflower county, and
about 400 convicts are being used at the
task.
This is the first link in Governor
Brewers cherished plan for a north and
south highway through the State from
the Tennessee line to the Gulf of Mexico.
Superintendent Gathings started the con
victs at work on the model road two
weeks ago, but was stopped by an in
junction suit filed by a number of citizens
who did not like the route adopted. This
litigation has been adjusted, and the roat
will now be pushed to completion before
it becomes necessary for the convicts tt
get into the cotton fields to pick the sea
sons crop.

PASSING PARDON PETITION
PREACHER WOcLD SET THOMAS
Atkinson FREE.
Relatives of the Murdered Man Will Re-
sist Attempt to Secure Executive
Clemency for Murderer.

Louisville.-A petition is being circu-
lated by Rev. DR.. Carroll, a prominent
minister of the Baptist Church at De-
kalb, in the interest of Thomas Adkin-
son OF Winston county, who is now serv-
ing a term in the penitentiary for u
der.
An interesting story is connected with
his career. Three years ago the State
militia force were put into requisition
! under the orders of Gov. Noel in the
futile attempt to recapture Atkinson,
who had escaped from the panitenetiary.
I Many tales describing his elusion of
the militia have been rehashed and it
was said that on a certain night that
the soldiers were instituting a search for
him he joined them. While going
through the woods he made chalk marks
on the pack of one of the militiamen
and afterwards wrote this soldier of his
escapade.
Thirty years ago Atkinson was sent
to the penitentiary from Tate county for
the murder of a young man named Nc
Pherson.
Joe Wynn, his pal in the commission
OF tne crime, was ScHteilteu " teh yc"iS
and after serving two years was par
doned.
Atkinson spent two years in the PEN
~itentiary and escaped, and for twenty
eight years has been at large and resid-
ing in Winston county all the time.
The records show that Wynn, whose
father was a man of considerable wealth,
secured severance and was tried sepa-
rately. Atkinson was a transient resi-
dent of the county and was f~riendless.
The case was not appealed to the SUI
preme court.
The minister, DIR. Carroll, who bap-
n tiled Atkinson into the church about ~
IS years ago, with other friends, has taken
up the task of securing his pardon.
II The minister says that the man has
lived some twenty years the life OF q
ic noble Christian, hat he has married and
v reared q family of children, some oil
1t whom have married and have children
* of their own. He also intimated thai
Atkinson has the respect OF every citi
ne zen of Winston county, and referred t.

pc after the man three years ago.

JOHNSON FOR vICE-PRESIDENT.
Leaders Could Not Secure Available
Southerner.

Chicago.-Gov. Hiram w. johnson, OF
California, seemed agreed upon as the
vice-presidential nominee Of the National
Progressive party to make the first fight
of the new political organization with
Col. Theodore Roosevelt.
Col. Roosevelt favored the selection OF
a Southern Democrat as vice-presidential
candidate. The field was canvassed care
fully, and it is understood the colonePs
suggestion was abandoned only when it
became EVIDENT that it was impossible to
decide upon the available man.
The California delegation passed .
resolution saying the state could not
spare Gov. johnson, but it was said the
governors friends would not insist upon
this attitude.
In the event of Gov. Johnson's nom
nation, it is planned to have him take
the stump in the East while Col. Roose'
welt is campaigning in the West. Inc
governors qualifications as a campaignei
were said to be a strong factor IN Mi
| favor.

Developing Cut-Over Land.

Hattiesburg.-H. II. Gust, manager OF
the Lumber Mineral Company at Arbo,
states that his company, which owns
a large number of acres of land, has set
aside 500 acres to be used for demon
strating the possibilities of South Mis-
sissippi cut-over pine land. This season,
in order to encourage truckers in their
vicinity, Mr.. Gust permitted his farm
manager to put in four acres in cucum'
bers. The yield was abundant, but ow'
ing to the fact that. planting was late
they made nothing on the crop. Follow
ing cucumbers, he planted corn, which
has developed so wonderfully on the en-
riched land, that a yield Of 100 bushels tt
the acre is promised.

Poor Crop Outlook.

Meridian.-Reports from the surround
ing territory state that crop conditions
are anything but cheerful, although
many fine fields of cotton and other
crops are reported. The season has been
one of continued wet weather, followed
by hot sunshine, which has lone great
damage to the crop through forced
growth and rank grass in the fields. In
sect damage in this immediate territory
is small, although the boil weevil has
been reported from several directions.
The weevil has wrought no appreciable
damage on the crop this year, only hav.
ing arrived in this territory last year.

is behind the construction OF the Me-

that the Rock Island, through this route,
hopes to reach New Orleans by the east
and west banks OF the Mississippi river

renee, a garage manager. Mr.. Lawrence
purposely declined to apply for and re.

was met with an affidavit in the hands OF
a constable. He was fined $25, which is
the minimum. An appeal will be taken
