conclusions were reached.
Later the President held long confer
ences with Governor Dunno of Illinois,
! Speaker Mckinley of the Illinois
House and William L. O'Connelly on

added that the President had takeI
the position that the primary choic'

H. 4. Carpenter Selected
Farm Demonstration Agent

department of the Forrest County Ag-
ricultural High school.
Mr. Wilson thinks there is an ad-
vantage in having a man on the field
as a demonstration agent, who has
had experience in the boil weevil dis
trict Mr. Carpenter has had such ex-
perience in Louisiana, where he has
been employed for some time.
1t is a matter of regret that Mr.
Carpenter begins work so late in the
season, but it is believed that If the
farmers will cooperate with him in
his work much good can be done, and
large results obtained In the remain
ing months of the year.
Mr.. Wilson, state agent, and Mr.
Garner, the district agent, for Soutl
Mississippi, for the United States De
partment of Agriculture, win cooper
ate with Mr. Carpenter and much al
tention VIII be given TO the work Q

Wife MURDERER
GETS LIFE TERN

Dan and Neil Currie returned this
morning from New Augusta, where
they have been engaged in the defense
of Joe King, a negro, charged with
the murder of his wife.
King and his wife were living in
Hattiesburg and she left ostensibly
for Laurel. He followed her but failed
to find her in Laurel. While there
he made threats that he would kill her
on sight. Having followed her to Rich
ton, he caught up with her there and
proceeded at once to execute his
threat. The trial resulted in a con
viction with a verdict for life impris
onment in the penitentiary.

MADERO'S BROTHERS
hEACH SAN ANTONIO

San Antonio, Tex, March 6.-Emilo
Madero, reported dead half dozen
times, reached San Antonio yesterday
with his brother, Raoul, after a 600
mile horseback ride from Torreon,
Mexico, to Marathon, Tex, where they
crossed the border. Twice during the
journey they were attacked, making a
running fight of it once and the Sec
ond time escaping by superior knowl-
edge of the country of their three serv.
ants.
They were met here by Gabriel Ma
dero, another brother, and all will re
main in San Antonio until after a con
ference is held in New Orleans be
tween Alfonso Madero and other mem
bers of the family, who are en- route
to that city from Havana.
T. R. Bertram, friend of the Ma
deros, who returned yesterday from
Saltillo, Mexico, says that Governo
Carranza of that state has 10000 mel
at his disposal to unseat Genera
Huerta as provisional President o
Mexico.

Slow Progress Toward peace.

London, March 6.-The diplomatic
wheel is turning slowly in the near
east settlement. Only yesterday were
the formalities Of communicating Tur-
keys request for European mediation
completed at the capitals of the Balkan
league and the allied governments
gave an identical reply-that they
must first consult with each other.
Meanwhile, although more than a
month has passed since the armistice
was ended, military operations prac-
tically are in allegiance, and Turkeys
besieged fortresses which were ex-
pected to fall in few days, still hold
out. The financial and economic re-
suits of this delay must be disastrous
to the allies.
According to reports published at
Vienna, the powers are at variance on
the question of indemnity. 1t is said
that Great Britain and France oppose
the idea, while Russia favors 1t. It
is supposed that Russia may have
secretly advanced funds for war pur-
poses to Bulgaria and therefore de-
sires to see Bulgaria reimbursed by
an indemnity.
A Constantinople dispatch received
at Vienna reports the existence of a
serious movement among the military
leaders at Tchatalja to overthrow the
government.

Another change that will be- neces-
sary in Senate accommodations to
meet the demands of the new Congress
is the provision of special chair for
Senator ollie James of Kentucky who
enjoys the distinction of being the
biggest man in the Senate. Mr.. James
found the arm chairs used by other
senators crowded him too much"
Senator Penrose, the other giant of
the Senate, has a SPECIAL size chair

The painted finish may not always be suit
able for a scheme of decoration and the floors
may not be In good enough condition for fin
fishing in varnish, or they may have beenpre-

can be treated with stain combined with
varnish, preparation which covers up the

The finish of standing woodwork follows
