HEROISM BRINGS
 PARDON TO CONVICT

Jackson. Miss, May 21.-Heroism dis played in the fight against the Missis- sippi floods has brought to Harry Mills, a state convict. Apardon from Cover nor Brewer. Mills was convicted of mur- der in Vicksburg six years ago. He was sentenced to 20 years Imprisonment. Soon after beginning the term he escaped and settled in Arkansas, where he married. He recently became sather and had a happy home. An old acquaintance then went to his neighborhood. Mills was rec ognized and the acquaintance betrayed him for the $50 reward. When convicts were sent to hold back the swollen Mis- sissippi river Mills attracted attention by his reckless disregard of peril. He voiun- teered, even pleaded for every task which offered danger, but always escaped un- scathed.
 On one occasion he swan through a swirling current to carry lifeline to a boat containing refugees whose oars had been swept away.
 Mills is the bravest man ever saw" the convict camp superintendent told Governor Brewer.

MUFFLERS CAUSE
 OF DUST CLOUDS
Gafford Writes Letter and Now Police Will See That Practice
 Is Stopped

Street Commissioner Frank Gafford has directed a letter to Judge Lane. asking that the police be instructed to prohibit automobile drivers from cutting out their mufflers.
 The street commissioner says that the abolition of this evil will guarantee less dust on the streets of the city. He says that much of the dust is caused this way. which keeps constant cloud of tuber- cular germs in the air.
 The letter was referred to Chief of Po- lice Bode,Ser, who immediately issued per emptory instructions to his men to rigid ly enforce this ordinance, but at the same time appeals to the drivers of the city to cease this practice and avoid being ar rested.
 Just as few arrests as possible Is the announced policy of both Judge Lane and myself, and we would like for them to help us live up to it. It is an easy mat ter if they will only cooperate with us. but they can make it exceedingly hard on both of us If they insist. l hope, though. that we can reach the desired end without any friction.' said Chief Bodeker.

TOEND TURCO1TAL|AN WAR Italy Now Controls Eleven Turkish Islands in the
 Archipelago

Paris, May 21.-The extension of the Turco-Italian war is awakening the pow CTS to the necessity of making renewed attempts to bring the conflict to an end. Italy's steady occupation of Turkish islands in the Aegean sea, which Turkey has answered by expelling Italians from the Ottoman empire, is regarded here with considerable inquietude
 Italy now is in control of II Turkish islands in the archipelago, and this. 1t is pointed out. modifies the equilibrium of force in one section of the water route around the world, which, with the com pletion of the Panama canal, means a continuous global marine movement.
 The Temps declares tonight that Italy's occupation of the archipelago changes the whole political map as the eastern Medi- terranean enters into the dominion of the triple alliance sss.sss.ss I. 'ss'
 The turn of events. therefore, is dis- tinctly against the interests of the triple entente and chiefly against those of Russia, and the time has arrived for members of the triple entente to l examine the situation seriously. adds the paper.
 Various suggestions for mediation be- | tween Turkey and Italy have been prof. fered, including the calling of a con gress of European powers and a pro- posal to allow Italy to remain in Tri- l poll as England has remained in Egypt with Turkey retaining legal control in the country, getting back her islands and receiving additional economic com- pensation.
 Rome. May 21.--A wireless message received from Admiral Vialo states that the battleship Napoll proceeded yesterday to the Island of Cos on the west coast of Asia Minor and took off the Turkish authorities and gen darmes.

WHYW00DBLOCKS?
It Is the Pavement the Property
 Owner Should Demand

After a test of six years, all the samples except the Wood Block strip, so worn as to be no longer serviceable as paving, were removed and Yellow Pine Blocks put down in their stead, and today no perceptible difference can be noticed between the old and the new blocks.
 It is proved that all other pavements, under heavy traf- fic, require extensive repairs in five years; in ten years these repairs amount to at least 50 per cent of the orig inal cost of the pavement and at the end of that time a new pavement is necessary. It has been shown that in the same period Creosoted Yellow Pine Block Pavement will have compressed about -one-eighth of an inch, and the surface will be perfectly smooth-in- dicating that it is good for many years to come, and any minor repairs that may be- come necessary in the mean time can be effected much more quickly and at less ex- pense than those of any other known pavements.
 MT. Property Owner, if ere osoted Yellow Pine Pavement is laid down in front of your property, it will not have to be replaced every five or ten years. Access to your prop erty will not be obstructed by repair crews and machinery. You will not be harrassed by agitation up and down your street for a new form of pavement, because creosoted Yellow Pine will be as satis- factory to the other people on the street as it has proved to you.
 In a word, your pavement will have been settled perma- nently; and, as creosoted Vel low Pine pavement spreads over the city, the low repair charge which it carries will aid materially in keeping down the tax rate. That IS why yon should demand it for yourself and your fellow citi- zens.
 The next "Why Wood Blocks" will show how creo- soted Yellow Pine pavement increases the value of abut- ting property.

 sydney Buxton, in his defense, ar gued that parliament had been as slack as the board of trade, and was usually responsible because 1t had not raised the question of providing adequate boat and life saving appliances before the Titanic disaster. He said the British and German governments have under taken arrangements for an interna tional conferences on the subject. but Great Britain clearly had informed the German government that it would not. on account of the prospective confer ence, delay issuing regulations, which might be thought necessary

Because Its Demonstrated Du- rability Is so Great That the
 First Cost Is Virtually the Total Cost for Thirty Years.

This has been proved on the heaviest traffic streets of Lon don, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, New York, Chicago, Philadel- phia, Minneapolis, Atlanta and more than a hundred of other American cities. It is all in these specifications read them carefully:
 Material-Yellow Pine, the wood that offers, even in its natural state, the greatest re- sistance to decay.
 Treatment. Seasoned under temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit for five hours, and subjected to a vacuum of from P to 26 inches of Mercury, sufficient to draw all foreign matter out of the pores; and then, under pressure of one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five pounds per square foot, heavy oil of creosote- the best wood preservative- is injected, at a temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit, un- til 20 pounds to the cubic foot of timber has been forced in, completely filling the pores. Construction-The yellow pine in blocks of uniform thickness is then laid on a con crete foundation.
 Thus all conditions of wear, from within and without, are squarely met.
 The concrete gives STA BILITY; the body of the wood supplies ELASTICITY, and the smooth surface REDUCES FRICTION to the minimum. Examples of the superiority of Yellow Pine Creosoted pavement in the indespensa- ble requirement. of durability could be cited indefinitely, as

ASSEMBLY D|SPOSES
 OF CONTROVERSY.
Substitute Adopted for ln-
 fant Elect Clause
LESSON IS CRITICISED
Report of Standing Committee on Bills and Oyertures Adopted. Report on Romanism Antici-
 pated With Interest

Bristol. Tenn. May 21.-The general as- sembly of the Southern Presbyterian church today disposed of the controversy over the infant elect-clause by adopting and referring to the presbyteries for their ratification a substitute for the infant elect clause of the confession of faith. The resolution carrying the proposed sub stitute clause was passed after the most lively debate of the present session and after numerous amendments had been voted down. The assembly finally agreed upon a form that suited large majority of the commissioners, which is as fol- lows:
 Being elect, all infants dying in in- fancy are saved and regenerated through the spirit of Christ, etc" The canvass of the returns from the presbyteries made today showed that a substitute in sub- stance the same as the above had failed to receive a three-fourths vote. although the presbyteries asked for change.
 The present elect clause is:
 Present Clause
 '.Elect infants dying In infancy are re- generated and saved, etc" Vigorous speeches were made on sthe subject and various substitutes were proposed. Some strongly opposed any change. declaring that the present clause rightly interpreted. does not teach infant damnation, Others held that it was susceptible of that con- struction. Dr. F. M. Woods of West Vir- ginia said that any change would be "Showing the white feather"
 Ex-Governor Ansell of South Carolina, pr. James I. Vance of Nashville. Dr. E. M. Munro of Dallas, Tex, and Dr. R.. A. Webb of Louisville strongly urged the amendment.
 With this syllogistic statement, Dr. J. J. Chisolm of Natchez Miss. opposed the substitute, All who are saved were elect to be saved"
 No man can be elect who was not an elect infant. All infants who are saved must be elect infants.
 NO elect infant can pass into man. hood and not be saved.'
 Criticise School Lessons
 Declaring that the International graded Sunday school lesson helps are hypooritical, a report was made to the assembly recommending that a letter be issued urging pastors and superin- tendents against their further use of other such matter not sanctioned by the publication committee. This elicited much debate and over strenuous pro- tests the assembly went on record as opposing the use of the literature
 Dr. George B. Booth of New Orleans and William Everett of Atlanta made vigorous appeals against this action, but the resolution was carried by a decisive vote.
 One of the most important events of the day was the devastating of the systematic beneficence committee of the power to nominate secretaries to and members of the executive committed and lodge 1t in a standing committed named by the moderator. There was | lengtf1y debate on this subject and tht ma jority for the resolution was nar- Irow | The report of the standing commit tee on bills and overtures was adopted The canvass of returns from the vot-
