the Mexican situation and the posi-
bility of Intervention. The question
was brought up when Congressman
Hay called up his bill for raising the
volunteer troops in time of actual
or threatened war.
Ell PASO. Dec General Pancho
villa leaves today to enter Chihuahua
City. He has demanded that he be
met by the 200 federals policing the
city and be given a formal military
greeting upon his assuming control
of the state capital. He has sent as
surances to the foreign consuls in
that city that the constitutionalists
will respect both lives and property.
General Luis Terrazas,a an aged
Mexican multimillionaire who for
many months has been virtual pris-
.oner of the federaIs in Chihuahua City,
Is with his family and hundreds of
other. wealthy Mexicans being con-
.;v-oyed. by. the deserving federals sup
:: posedlys to. the. American border and
safety. The. .federaIs have charge Of
'more:than 5000, 900 pesos belonging to
the millionaire Mexican.
Ostensibly the federals took charge
Of .Terrazas' millions to afford them
projection from villas footing. but
..the belief among the friends of Ter
razas is to- the effect that the federals
will not release the aged man, or in
event of his being allowed to flee to
America for asylum they will hold
Ills millions
WILL HOLD GOLDEN GOOSE
G.. 1t is not like Orozco to free the
goose that lays the golden egg unless
the nest is full and in his possession.
1t is probable that Terrazas may be
held at O5inga on the border.
Through an investigation held as
to why Colonel Juan H. Medina, for

THE ~TRI-COUNTY AIR

Hardly two months intervene
between now and the time of
holding the Tri-County Fair and
the officers of the;fair are busily
engaged planning to make the
event one of the greatest sue
cesses in the history of the or
ganization.
With the magnificent crops in
the county many fine specimens
can be found to exhibit that will
do credit to the farm from which
they come and every farmer in
the county should feel that the
fair is for his special benefit and
make as many exhibits as posi-
BILE. The question of the value
of premiums offered should not
be the sole incentive to prompt
the people to send in their exhib-
its, but a special pride should be
manifested in showing to outsid-
ers as we'll as to our own people
Just what the county is capable
Of producing. Heretofore a
proper interest has not been man.
ifested in exhibiting live stock.
This feature should be specially
encouraged by the management
and all of the best stock in the
county should be found at the
fair. Stock growing adds more
to the value of our farms than
any other feature of farming and
it should have every encourage
ment from all sources. There
are many fine specimens of
horses, cattle and hogs in the
county and these should be on
exhibit.
Unfortunately there has been
considerable delay in getting out
the catalogue, but it will be ready
for distribution before the first
of the month. From the cata-
fogue all parties who desire to
contest for premiums may ascer-
tain what the premiums are.

as manifested in this convention
seems to have entered into every
county and hamlet in the entire
state and it is quite evident that
within a few years the state will
be trayersed from North to
South with more than one high
way with numerous branches ra-
dating from the trunk lines
The northern tier of counties
proposed to invade the state of
Tennessee and induce our i'm
mediate neighbors on the North
to take up the project and to con
struct the road on to Jackson,
Tenn. where it would intersect
the great highway now being
constructed through the state OF
Tennessee FIR 0 Memphis
through Jackson. Nashville,
Chattanooga and Knoxville and
there connected with the Great
National Highway that leads to
Washington City.
The people of Meridian mani
tested great interest in the pro-
ject and their hospitality was un-
bounded.
At the close of the afternoon
session on Tuesday 100 automo.
biles conveyed the delegates five
miles out from the city over good
roads where a dutch supper was
served. Returning. many of the
delegates were driven over the
good roads which radiate in four
directions from the city.
The Meridian district has spent
5000, 900. 90 on their roads which
they consider a fine investment.
Their roads are first class in
every particular.
The delegates from every por-
ton of the state manifested
great interest and the opinion
prevailed that the day was a his
tory making one for the eastern
portion of the State of Missis-
sippi.

HANDS OFF THE POLICY

In his message to congress on
Wednesday President Wilson de-
clared that it would be the policy
of this government to leave to
Mexico the settlement of the
questions that have placed that
unfortunate people in a state OF
anarchy. With the refusal of
Mexico to accept this country's
good offices to bring about peace,
the president, backed up by con-
gress and public opinion, will
now leave Mexico to settle her
own troubles. All Americans
will be advised to leave and
where they are unable to get out
of the country they will be given
all necessary assistance. Those
who cannot get away will be
given protection by this govern
ment as far as it lies within its
power.

The death of Major j. c.
French, postmaster of Memphis,
removes one of the Bluff City's
most honored citizens. Major
French had served only two
months as postmaster, a pc ition
he had won through the sheer
force of his individual popularity.
Having been endorsed by Con-
gresham Mcclellan. the Post
master General declined to send
in his name to the Senate be-
cause of his advanced age. The
people of Memphis, however de-
manded his appointment and the
Postmaster General finally yield
ed to their wishes. Major French
was a Confederate soldier with a
brilliant record and one of Mem
phis' best citizens.

THE MERIDIAN CONVENTION

One of the most enthusiastic
highway conventions ever held in
the state was held Tuesday in
Meridian with the view of per-
fecting an organization to con-
struct a highway through the
eastern portion of the state from
the Tennessee line to the Gulf of
Mexico and from the eastern
boundary to the Mississippi river.
The convention was larger
than anticipated and the enthu-
siasm of the delegates was mani
tested upon every proposition
looking to the construction OF the
road. Besides business men in
all walks of life, quite a number
of the supervisors of the various
counties were present, in some
instances the entire board being
on hand and taking part in the
proceedings and enthusiastically
endorsing the project.

FIRST OF THE SUFFRAGETs
Tracts Recently Found Prove That
English Women Sought Votes
Many Years Ago.

The title of a tract in a recent cata-
logue published at London, England,
merits notice. 1t is:
Hey, Hoe, for a Husband; or The
Parliament of Maides; Their Desires,
DEGREES, and Determinations. The
principal members are Mrs. Beatrice
Blinks, Mrs. Sarah Sale Woman, Mrs.
Margaret Maundring, Mrs. Priscilla
Prick-Song, Mrs. Dorithy Doewell, Mrs.
Tabitha Triptoe, 4to, 1647." 1t begins
as follows:
mot able any longer to forbear the
very many inconvenience, occasioned
by the general backwardness Of men,
who contrary to the law of God and
nature, are wooed to that which in
stinct (were they not ~degenerate)
would prompt them to proffer; we the
maids and virgins of Great Britain
have thought fit, to the end a speedy
remedy of this evil may be attained,
to choose members fit and able to sit
in parliament" etc.
So apparently the demand for Votes
for women" did not originate with Mill.
Another tract is as follows:
"A parliament of ladies, with their
laws newly enacted. 1647," and Mr..
Barnard states that the title to the
first edition, issued in 1910, is:
"The parliament of women. With
the merry laws by them newly en-
acted. To live in more ease, pompe,
pride and wantoness; but especially
that they might have superiority and
domineer over their husbands"
