Meridian.-Notable features in this
territory during the early part of the
new year win be the completion of the
Meridian and Memphis railroad, 81 miles
west to Union, Miss, connecting with the
New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago. This
line will touch heavy tracts of pine lands
and, it is said, will later be extended
through the Pearl River Valley into the
hardwood forests Of Lake county. As
soon as the line is completed rapid ex-
tension of the same line will be made

SEWING MACHINE. NEEDS CARE
Much Troubie May Be Avoided Il the
Simple Precautions Recommended
Here Are Taken.

The best way to finish OF machine
seam is to turn the material and
stitch back for an inch. This does
away with the necessity of tying the
thread, which, II forgotten. often
causes trouble in the finished article.
Sewing machines should he treated
with great care IL you would have
them last a long while and do perfect
work. After every two days of steady
work oil the machinery thoroughly.
but be careful to wipe away all super
fuous OIL Run the machine rapidly
but steadily. without any thread, for
FIVE minutes after oiling. This viii
cause the oil to scatter and the super
fiuous drops can be wiped away and
none viii be left to stain the material
you are working with.
When much machine work Is to be
done, fill several shuttles with cotton
finer than that used on top. An or
binary shuttle will hold great deal
OF fine cotton and you win not be an
noyed by having to stop and wind a
bobbin when you are right In the
midst OF long seam or difficult bif

of ApOplexy.

Little Rock, Ark.-United States Sem
ntor JEFF Davis died at his home in Lit
tie Rock at 1928 Thursday morning of
apoplexy.
About midnight Senator Davis called
his son and said that IL was feeling
badly. The son called physician and
remained at his fathers bedside. As
the physician entered the door the SEN
ator fell back and expired.
Senator Davis had complained Of feel
ing i'll early in the evening. The family
physician, however, said that his con-
dition was not serious. However, the
senator, still complaining, retired early.
He had apparently been sleeping soundly
up to the time he called for mis- sen.
JEFF Davis was unique character. He
was denounced by thousands as the most
arrant demagogue that ever leaped into
pubic life. lie was acclaimed by other
thousands as leader of those who did
not get all the best things of life.
Davis began the practice Of law at the
age Of 10. Before he was a seasoned
voter he was prosecuting attorney and
he was a good one.
Born in 1869, Davis began to hold

WAS NOT A GOOD YEAR
ONLY 20 MILES OF NEW ROAD FOR
PAST 10 MONTHS.
However, Is Ahead of Some
Other Southern States-Many New
Lines Have Been Planned.

sJackson.--Only twenty miles of new
railway were built in Mississippi during
the year just closed, according to COM
pilation prepared by the Railway Age
Gazette. While several other southern
states are below Mississippi in miles
of construction, the showing is poor
one, in view of the large number of
new lines planned or promised, on which
no construction work has thus far been
attempted.
Among the notable new roads pro-
posed and which has been very much
discussed during the past year, is that
trayersing the Pearl River Valley in a
northeasterly direction from jackson,
across the prairies to Columbus, and
thence to Birmingham.
The corps of engineers of the Illinois
Central has made final survey for
this road, and final reports submitted
to the company's headquarters at Chi
to the officials, who are keeping ex-
ceedingiy reticent on the subject, no
construction work has been attempted.
Agents of the company hold options on
more than $25O,OOO worth of real es-
tate to the north of Jackson, acquired
ostensibly for the purpose of establish
ing new system of shops and termi-
nails at this point.
While numerous new roads with ter
minals at harbors on the Mississippi
coast have been chartered, in anticipa-
tion of the opening of the Panama
Canal, none of them have progressed be
yond the paper stage. 1t is believed,
however, in view of the approaching
completion of the canal, that important
developments in the constructiontof
north and south trunk lines through
Mississippi may be expected during the
coming year.

ROCKEFELLER WILL
ACCEPT SUBPOENA
NOTIFIES ATTORNEY UNTERMYER
THROUGH HIS ATTORNEY.
MAY NOT TAKE THE STAND
He Must Present His Excuses to the
Committee Before Motion to Excuse
Him Will Be Considered.

New York.-William Rockefeller has
agreed through his counsel, John A. Gar
yer, to accept service of subpoena to
appear on Jan. Is before the Pujo COM
mittee of the House of Representatives
at Washington, investigating the money
truS y
N M
tion OF Chairman Puio, accepted this
offer
As result Of the agreement the
sergeant-at-arms of the house has been
instructed to discontinue his efforts to
effect service on William Rockefeller.
While accepting service, the statement
ayers, Mr.. Carver advised Mr.. Inter
myer that Rockefeller's condition of
health is very precarious and that it will
be impossible for him to appear as q
witness at Washington or even to sub
nit to examination at his home.
Mr.. Rockefeller has been informed
that having now submitted to the juris-
diction Of the committee, he must pre-
sent his excuses to the committee in due
form for such action as it may deem
proper. If it is established to the sat
isfaction of the committee that it will
be impossible to obtain the testimony
of Mr.. Rockefeller without imperiling
his life, the statement says, the commit
tee would, of course, not feel justified
in taking any such extreme action.
