Alumni BANQUET.

The annual banquet of the Prince
ton high school alumni was held last
Friday evening in the Odd Fellows
block and there were about go mem
bers in attendance. The Masonic
and Odd Fellows halls were both
utilized for the annual gathering
and the evening was one continuous
round of pleasantly. -: ..
The program commenced with the
election OF officers, H. L. thinner
man being chosen president, Clifton
Cravens secretary and Fred Dugan
treasurer. Miss Lena Nachbar then
rendered a pretty vocal solo and: the
initiation of the 1912 graduates fol-
lowed. This was one of the most
amusing features of the evening, the
stunts of the candidates, as they
were put. through the initiatory cere-
mony, creating much laughter-the
goat proved a. hard proposition for
all of them.
The banquet, served in the Odd
Fellows hall, and prepared by ladies
of the Rebekah lodge, was a veri-
table feast of all the good things to
be obtained viands fit to place be-
fore an assemblage of royalty. y Fred
Dugan was POSTMASTER and he
proved himself capable of handling
the list like veteran. An i'm
promptu dance followed the banquet,
and this concluded the alumni con-
vention of 1912.

Injunction AnnulleG.

Judge Taylor on Monday dissolved
the injunction granted to Mr.. and
Mrs. Oscar Peterson restraining the
village council from readjustiong the
grade on the Skahen-Peterson side
walks. About two weeks ago an in
junction was granted Mr.. and Mrs.
Peterson, through their attorney, G.
A. Dickey, by Judge Taylor, and a
hearing set for June 3. Upon that
date E. L. Mcmillan, village at
torney, appeared before the Judge,
who was holding court at Foley, and
explained the situation, with the re-
suit that the Injunction was ordered
annulled instead of being made
permanent as demanded by plaintiff.
The village council will now proceed
to make the necessary change in the
grade of the walks affected. The
order of the court is as follows:
''That the said application for an
injunction be, and the same hereby
is, denied, and that the Injunction
heretofore issued and served herein
be, and hereby is, in all things va
Gated, set aside and annulled.''

Newspaper statisticians compute
that John D. Rockefeller's income
is $50, 600, 600 year, or over s14O a
minute. Until the courts ordered
John to split his Standard Oil COM

panies his income was not nearly as
much as this-the dissolution in
creased the value of his holdings
about 500, 100000. The additional

by the Standard in it's dissolved

A couple of fellows have Just been
bound over to the United States dis
tirct court in $1,000 each by Com
missioner Abbott for using the
mails to advertise a piano guessing
contest. All sorts of schemes are re-
sorted to in order to relieve the I'm
sophisticated of their money, but
these guessing contests are among
the worst. Still, it does not seem to
matter how often the newspapers

GoIlmar Brothers Shows.

The Gollmar Brothers. shows have
completed all arrangements to ex-
hibit in Princeton on Monday, June
II.
The Gollmar Brothers circus has
advanced rapidly during recent
years, until it has reached the front
rank Of tented enterprises, and is
one OF the biggest on the road. It
adyertises a greater number of fea-
lures and, Judging from the com
ments of the press and others who
have seen it, the Gollmar Brothers.
circus produces all it advertises.
With the Gollmars from six to eight
acts are to be seen at one time in
the rings, hippodrome track, on the
stage, and in midair. The manage.
ment of show the size of the Coll
mar Brothers does not expect the
people to be able to watch all of the
many features, but they arrange to
have several acts of various kinds at
the same time, so that the spectator
may take his choice and enjoy those
that he admires most. Peoples
tastes differ, therefore it is necessary
for circus the size of the Gollmar
Brothers to be cosmopolitan in
character in order that all may be
pleased, and those who have seen it
know that it pleases and satisfies the
most critical. il
The Gollmar Brothers. shows will
positively appear in Princeton on
Monday, June II, for one day only,
and will give two performances.

In its report to congress the senate
subcommittee which investigated
the Titanic disaster holds CAPTAIN
Smith { largely responsible for the
accident. He is found guilty of
dereliction of duty in that he main
tanned a high rate Of speed despite
the numerous warnings that icebergs
were ahead. He is also held to
blame for not warning the passengers
of their danger after the Titanic had
struck the berg and for the I'M
disciplined condition of the crew.
Captain Lord of the Californian is
severely condemned for not needing
the distress signals of the Titanic,
while Captain Rostron of the Car
pathia is praised for his heroic work.
1t is suggested in the report that a
joint committee of the maritime
nations of the world draw up rules
for insuring greater safety at sea-
J. Bruce Ismay received no censure
from the. Investigating committee
for the reason that there was no
direct evidence to warrant it. but a
strong sentiment against him pre-
wales among the surviving pas
sengers, many of whom believe him
to be more responsible for the
disaster than Captain Smith. 1t is
claimed by some that Ismay, as
director of the line
Captain Smith to run at
high speed against his will. But the
poor old captain, who is not alive to
defend himself, is held to blame.

WATKINS BILL IS
PASSED BY
HOUSE
MEASURE PROVIDES FOR PAY.
MENT OF se,ooo.ooo COTTON
CLAIM IN THE SOUTH.

Washington, Dec. 12.-After six
years of work, Judge Watkins Wednes-
day induced the House to pass his cot
ton claims bill, which it did without
the formality of roll call, except on
a subsidiary motion to recommit the
bill with instructions to the committee
on revision of the laws in such a way
as to destroy it altogether. That was
in the nature of a pro forma motion
made by Minority Leader Mann, who
for more than two years has kept the
bill from being reached on the Wed
nesday calendar. 1t will distribute
nearly $6,OO0.OOO among Southern
claimants.
The bill specifically authorizes and
instructs the courts to consider claims
for the money procured from the sale
Of cotton seized after June l, 1866,
without requiring order accepting
proof of loyalty of the claimant. In
other words, that hostilities having
ceased more than a month before the
date mentioned, the full effect of the
proclamation of amnesty be considered
by the court in passing on the claims.
Very few lawyers who have such
claims believed he ever would be able
to put the bill through the House.
can act of this kind is expected to
do more than fifty celebrations of the
battle Of Gettysburg, under the aus
pices of the Blue and the Gray, to show
the South that the war is really over"
said Judge Watkins to a group of
congressman, members who were con
graduating him upon the successful
termination of his fight, so far as the
House is concerned. 1T is a recogni-
tion Of the fact that, when hostilitiies
were over, the property of Southern
people was entitled to protection, no
matter what their position had been
during the war"

FARMER SPECIALlzES
ON REGISTERED HOGS

W. l.. King, of Rosine, is in the city
today. Mr.. King is Forrest county
farmer who believes in the possibili-
ties of making living on Southeast
Mississippi cut-over lands. He spe-
eializes on Poland China hogs and
handles nothing but registered stock
subject to registration and believes in
the doctrine that there is always mon
ey in the best, whether 1t be crops
that grow in the ground or live stock
that live upon such crops.
Forrest county has room for many
such farmers as Mr.. King and the
number is increasing each year.
Mr.. King has in past years been en-
ployed in the saw mill business, but
he says there is nothing that sur
passes farming for giving a man4 and
his family a good comfortable living.
