who was seriously injured while
stealing ride on the N. o. & N. e.

day, when physicians decided that it
was necessary for more of the injured
leg to be removed. Today, however,
it is stated that gangrene has devel-
oped and the injured man has very
slight chances Of recovery.
According to visitors who have seen
Humphries, the man is changed be-
ing. He states that if he can recover
from his present injuries that he will
live the remainder of his life in a far
different manner. He asked the pray
ers of church members and ministers
and appears to be a truly repentant
man.
The Supreme court on Monday af
firmed a. five-year sentence against
Humphries for burglary. The crime
of which he was convicted occurred
at Richton, where Humphries robbed
a jewelry store. The trial occurred
at New Augusta and attracted consid
cradle attention at the time.

STATES and NATIUN
SHOULD COOPERATE
In Plan to Drain Wet Lands Says
lstnam Randolph of Chicago at
Drainage Congress.

New Orleans, April 11.-In an ad-
dress before the Drainage Congress
today Mr.. Isham Randolph, of Chica-
go, argued for cooperation between
the States and the nation in a COM
prehensive drainage plan.
Problems which are contained
within any state" he said, should be
solved by that state, but when the
bound of the state has been exceeded
then the nation has asproblem, and the
nation should solve it. The navigable
water of the United States is, in the
very nature of things, the outlet for
the lesser waters of the states, and
the nation should so handle it's pos
sessions as not to injure the holdings
of a component state"
Mr.. Randolph cited as an object
lesson the harmonious cooperation OF
state and federal government in the
control of the Mississippi river.

Former Mississipp1on Thinks
Opportunities Here Wonderful

w. A. Clark, a prominent farmer
and ranch owner of Corpus Christi,
Texas, has been here for several days
on a visit to the families of G. R..
Odom and J. A. Pace at Petal, who are
relatives.
Forty-two years ago Mr.. Clark
migrated to Texas, walking the en-
tire distance from Clark county. He
has accumulated competency in that
country and states that he attributes
his success, not so much to the ad-
vantages that were offered there at
time, but to the business methods he
adopted early in life and which he con-
tinues to observe on his farms. He
has an office on the farms and keeps
books on everything that enters into
the conduct of the business, the same
as do successful merchants and bank
ers.
Mr.. Clark in speaking of Suth Mis-
sissippi, stated: 81 do not advise q
young man to leave this section of the
state for Texas or any other country
The advantages to be found here al

report of the Pope's death was receiv-

This would be open to much doubt,

gave seriousness to the report which

first be made at Madrid has not been
