WILL PAY CASH DIVIDEND.
Preferred Creditors of Warehouse Con-
Germ Get Promise.

Jackson.=The trustees in bankruptcy
of the National Warehouse Company, a
million dollar concern that went to the
wall in this city last December, are pre-
pairing to make a settlement with the
secured and preferred creditors OF the
company, and payment will probably be
made during the current month. The
settlement has been delayed somewhat
by adjustment of cotton claims in Texas
where the company attempted to oper'
ate during the last few months OF its
existence.
While the trustees in bankruptcy de-
cline to make any statement on this sub
iect. it is certain that the stockholders
of the defunct corporation will not real
ize a penny on their holdings. The
amount of stock outstanding was Sl73,
600, and stock was being sold to Mis-
sissippi farmers up to within a few days
OF the filing of bankruptcy proceedings
some of the stock statesmen attempting
to dispose Of it at a premium.
One difficult phase OF the bankruptcy
adjustment is the claims of foreign cred
itors, chiefly spinners in France and Ter

Jachscn.-Canning club girls OF Will

Of farmers to the extent that they have
been alike to ii V a large quantity OF to-

This is the information that reaches
Miss Susie V. Powell, supervisor OF
school improvement work, and is an
other demonstration of what the girls
Of the canning clubs are doing. In Will

EVIDENCE To CONVICT

PRESSED AT JACKSON.
men Connected With Hardware Firm
From Which Smith Secured Auto,
1t Is Charged. Will Testify.

Jackson. Will District ATTORNEY
HOWE and his associates in the prosecn.
ton OF the indictment against Charles
Z. Smith, charged with fraud in the pur.
chase OF an automobile to be used AZ
state property, be able to prove the allie.
gations That is Il very potent question
prevalent here, and future events will
tell the story.
1t is in evidence that the trutsees at
their March meeting, 1913, among other
items OF expenditure allowed, passed an
order directing the payment of two ac.
counts in favor of Baker-McDowell Hard.
ware Company of Natchez, the 5000 paid
out by State Treasurer Stovall on sup
ply" account being the payment in full
for the automobile, as alleged. There
are other state witnesses, and among
them men attached to the Bakcr-AIc.
Dowell house, who are to testify. 1t is
understood that these witnesses will ex'
plain to the jury just how that firm hap
pened to be involved in the deal. The
state contends that Smith bought the
car secondhand at a bargain at the end
OF 1911, and that subsequently the value
of the machine became enhanced so that
it was disposed of to the state at an ad
vance of $500 over that paid for the cal
by Mr.. Smith.
The theory of the defense. which ha'
been skillfully put before the jury
through cross-examination of the stat,
witnesses, is that Mr.. Smith contributed
materially to the value OF the car b,
sundrv improvements which he made sub
sequent to purchase for his W use, in
GLIDING parts and fixtures bought. Til,
testimony does show that subsequen
to the sale to the state the ear was lit
orally all to pieces, having been strande
at Bowman Moore's place at Egremont
whittier a machinist from Nicksburg wa
sent on telephone order from Mr.. Smith
to put it to rights, while a witness de
clared that after all the mending an
pottering it became necessary to ship tn
car by rail to Parchman.
The general trend of opinion is tina
with such a jury as that which the stat
has impaneled in this case it will tax
the strongest kind of evidence to prov
the fraud charge, however questionable
the transaction prior to and subsequer
to the automobile purchase might apes
to have been.

told Of the call made by a Union vet
eran early on the morning of the if

battle, who related that his conscience
troubled him because OF the fact that
on that fate:ul morning many years

and stolen a quantity OF onions from
the Thorne garden. which was located
near the historic Seminary ridge. He
told Thorne that he desired, at this
late day to pay for the onions and
thus relieve his conscience.

was refused, but the Thornes would

diers who upset eight beehives in the

sit on that side. In the senate. how
