A ARE IMPROVING.
Agitation for Good Highways in Missis.
sippi Bears Fruit.

Jackson.-From all parts of the state
comes testimony, and voluntary at that,
to the efficacy and practical benefit Sc
cured to the people through modern road
improvement methods, which are spread
ing from end to end of Mississippi. Three
or four years ago it required the most
strenuous urging and campaigning to get
the taxpayers to vote bond issues where
with the expense of road improvement
might be met. Now things are improving
and the people in many of those counties
which were slow to catch the good roads
spirit are watching results in other coun-
ties and the situation promises to i'm.
prove.

No Extra Legislative Session.

Jackson.-Gov. Brewer does not take
kindly to the suggestion of State Senator
Joseph Norwood, of Pike county, that a
special session of the legislature should
be called for the rpose of passing a
bank inspection law. At least, it is a
certainty that the governor will not adopt
the suggestion of the Pike county sena-
tor, and there will be no special legisla-
tive session this year, unless some reason
more urgent than any now apparent be-
comes evident.

REV. STAFF'S
RESIGNATION

At a meeting of the trustees and
members of the Congregational churcE
society. Thursday evening, which was
we'll attended, Rev. Fred Staff, pas
tor of that church, formerly rendered
his resignation to take place in
June and gave his reasons therefore.
The society reluctantly accepted the
same but they desired to have Mr..
Staff and family have such a change
as they thought would be beneficia al
to them. A committee of three con-
sisting of Messrs. Guy Nash, Guy O.
Babcock, and Mrs Earle Pease, Were
tions relative to the pastorate of
Rev. Staff and the appreciation of
the congregation of his pastorate for
the past eight and a half years.
Messrs. F. ]. Wood, and Rev. Staff
were elected as a committee of two
to select fifteen members from the
total membership whose duty it would
be to secure a new pastor as a sue
cessor to Rev Staff. Rev. tSaff will
continue to occupy the pulpit at
this church Including the first Sunday
in June, after which he viii be re
leased. This change is greatly to be
regretted by everybody in the church
membership and outside, who enjoy
the acquaintance of the pastor and
his family.

VACCINATE HOGS
AND AVOID CHOLERA

MADISON, Wis, May 3.-''Hogs
vaccinated for hog cholera by the
double method, which includes an
injection with a protective serum
and q small quantity of virus at the
same time, is effective fer many
months and probably for Life" says
Prof. F. B. Hadley of the University
of Wisconsin College of Agriculture,
commenting on the heavy .ravages of
this disease in the state
In a recent experiment., a SOW htat
had been vaocinated more than a
year before was placed in a pen with
pigs which were sick or dying with
hog cholera Although this sow was
exposed to the disease for a month i'm
this pen, she did not become i'll"
Prof. Hardley recommends that farm
ers lose no time in treating their hogs
in all cases where hog cholera threat
ems. Young pigs can be vacinnated
more cheaply than mature hogs The
college of agriculture is now sending
out the hog cholera serum at cost
together with explicit directions for
it's use.

morning a group of school children
were ordered off the walk by a youn:
man in grey cap and blue coat, so
that he might proceed ON the side

past eight, two young ladies' We're
frightened by three young men on hi
cycles who came up behind the young
ladies and made them get off the
walk These bicycles were not carry
ing lights, and that is another viola
ton Of law Early in the week, a lady
with a baby carriage was almost run
over by a young man on a bycle. The
lady, who was badly frightened told
the young man he had no business
on the sidewalk, and the answer she
got was not pleasant for a lady's
ears to hear. If the fellows name
could be learned, he would be prose
cuted for using abusive language.
1t can not be possible that the
Mayor and police expect the citizens
of this city to put up with that SOFT
OF thing much longer. We have an
extra patrolman now and it seems
that it might be possible to have one
officer spared from the business dis
trict a few hours a day for a few days
to Investigate these outrages against

One Lady made the remark that she
would walk in the road to avoid the
bicycles if it were not for the dust.

What might have been one of the
worst railroad accidents ever known
in this section of the state occurred
Friday at about o'clock, happily
resulting in no loss of life but a
great property loss to the 500 rail
road
Passenger train No. l due to ar
rive here at 1927 was four hours
late, caused by freight wreck at
Burlington and was running at top
most speed to make up for lost time,
when the accident took place. Just
opposite the Roddis Veneer factory
it dashed into a spur switch left O.
pen by the Greenwood train which
had gone into the yards for switch
ing purposes. The two engines met
headon causing a terrible impact and
throwing both into the ditch.
When the engine crews on both
trains saw the inevitibiIty of a col
lission they jumped for their lives
and thus saved themselves from be

wood engine, attached to several cars
when the collision occurred was driy-
en- back several rail lengths, while
the engine of the passenger train,
on leaving the track, dashed into
the great piles bf lumber piled along
the spur crowding them off their
foundation and then lay half ON its
side, buried in the loose earth, a to-
tai wreck.
Some of the passengers when the
collision occurred We're thrown from
their seats but none hurt other than
getting a bad jolt. The ulllucky train
was III cEarge Ol Cunducto4 MCGEE.
Many OF the workmen at the Rod

Mayor ORDERS
LAUGHED At

Some time ago, the mayor caused
notice to be printed in the city
papers Regarding the riding of bicy-
oles on sidewalks. This notice was
to the effect that the police had beer
instructed to arrest and prosecute Of
tenders. Later the ordinance in fun
was published. Neither the one or
the other had had the desired effect.
that they viii not be punished. 1t
is true that the more rgentlemanly
riders have taken TO the roadway but
the toughs and hoodlum element, still
cintinue to ride the walks to the
peril and inconvenience of the pedeS-
trians. This Will probably go on
until an accident occurs and the city
is sued for damages. The chief of
police holds that the ordinance is not
any good. 1t is the opinion of the
city attorney that the ordinance is
good and that it can be enforced.
The thing to do now is to have a test
case and find out and then if the pre-
sent ordinance will not hold pass one
that will. So much complaint has
been made that it seems the city
authorities ought to take notice and
do something.
Following are a few instances that
have been brought to our attention
during the last week. Sunday after
noon during a period of not over two
hours, % bicycles passed on the side
walk at a certain point. Thursday
