Major O. A. Pigford. Division superin-
tendent of the Mobile & Ohio Rail-
road Company, Meridian, Miss
DEAR SIR There was more than
one report as to the idea of the Of
ticials of the M. & o in the loca-
ton of the new Depot, those who
visited our town yesterday, or
rather now day before yesterday.
One report was that the M. & o.
was willing to locate and build a
new freight and passenger depot
just beyond the overhead bridge OH
the south side of Main street and
fronting on the Rock Road running
out froL- Staikville to the Mississ-
ippi Agricultural & Mechanical
College and U. 5. Experiment Sta
ton. 1t is believed that this is the
true solution of the whole question,
and it is believed that this action
ON the part Of the M. & o. will
suit good healthy, solid senti-
men and wish and and desire OF
our people, this location will salts
fy an honest, healthy and cousery-
ative element here 1t is believed
it would take a vote to tell how the
people stood on this proposition,
aud that if the matter was
fully discussed a majority of the
property owners would favor this
location. Locating your freight
and passenger depot in the same
building is the very identical thing.
If your freight and passenger de
pot is so located it will be located
where wisdom dictates and where
the interest Of the M. & O. ana the
City of Starkville will be In every
sense best promoted and subserved
and this for all to come.
The report alluded to contem-
plated the building by the M. 81 O.
OF $40, 900 or $12, 900 new freight
and passenger depot at the point
indicated herein aud we were told
that blue prilts were shown of the
new depot. l did not have the
pleasure of meeting the officials as
| did not know they were in town
1t may be rs well that | did not,
for all wish to do is to place my
views, aud as believed many of oul
best citizens and property owners,
before the railroad authorities and
then let the Company act as in its
Judgment may be to the best inter
est of the railroad and the town.
Wish again and again to repeat
and reiterate, thut it is believe,
aud insisted upon thai the building
OF joint, united or union station
where contemplated, or anywhere
will not subserve, or promote the
Interest of the M. Il O. or the City
OF Starkville. We do not consider
that the interest of Main Street,
the main part of town, the hear
OF the city is properly considered

WASHINGTON'S SURVEYS.

1t has long been known that young
George Washington was a careful,
laborious, and accurate surveyor, but
the recent verification of his work,
made by thoroughly equipped ex-
perts with modern instruments of
precision, is interesting. The techni-
cal work was simple enough, but the
conditions surrounding it made it ex
ceedingly hard and brought out the
moral qualities of the youngster In
his brilliant and patient fight with
these conditions he showed the traits
that afterward made him really
great soldier and great leader of his
INSTRUMENTATION, courage, in
telligence resourcefulness. The work
was dangerous as well as toilsome,
and with the means at hand was in
tricate. Washington's own account
of it's shows this.
1t also shows that, even in boy
hood, undaunted as he was by hard
ship and difficulty, he was far from
buoyant in spirit. On the contrary, he
was apt to be depressed and to indulge
in a good deal of grumbling-a ten
dency in which two later great Amer
leans, Lincoln and Cleveland, some |
what resembled him. But he never |
allowed his depression to weaken his |
purpose or grumbling to prevent him
from doing the utmost that could be
done with the men, the tools, and the
chances at his disposal. Attention
has recently been called to Wash
ington's "speculations' in land. 1t
Is worth noting that a large part of
his landed possessions was granted
10 him by the congress as to other
officers of the army in recognition

he used the knowledge gained by him
n his boyhood surveys-not, it would

'antage to take. His correspondence

Most Remarkable Exhibition Opened at
Pittsburg Today.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 27.-There opened
here today in Carnegie Galleries one of
the most remarkable art exhibitions

collection of the works of Constantine
Meunier, of Brussels, which is to be

contains about $50 pieces of work. in

drawings. The sculptured figures are
not at all large, in fact some of them
are not more than Is inches high but
they are replete with vigor, strength

Meunier was born in 1881, of peasant
parents living in Etterbeek, Belgium.
A few years of training in sculpture in
study of painting in Paris. In 1880 he
came under the influence of a group of

Do not let this serious disease ex-

brane, gradually going from the nose
to the throat, thence into the bronchial
tubes and downward into the lungs.
There is no other treatment for ca
tarrh that is like Hyomei or just as
good. None can take its place, none
give such quick, effective and sure re-

THE NAVY.

In recommending that our navy, be-
fore 1920, be so increased as to in
clude forty-eight battleships of the
line, and that construction for next
year shall include four dreadnoughts,
sixteen destroyers, and eight sub
marines, as well as minor craft, the
navy general board, of which Adj
miral Dewey is president, is careful
to explain that it recognizes condi-
tons as they exist and the futility
of hoping that the ships and men
its policy calls for will be provided
by 1920" While the report signed by
the admiral is addressed to the secre-
tary of the navy, and is attached by him
to his report to President Wilson,
which was delivered recently. the navy
boards remarks are obviously intend
ed for all the American people.
All but very few of these will agree
with the board that certain estab-
lished policies of this country must
be upheld; that we must continue, in
short, to avoid entangling alliances;
that the Monroe Doctrine must not be
abandoned; that we must have eXclu
sive military control of the Panama
canal and it's contiguous waters. To
accomplish this much leaving out of
consideration any problems we may
have to contend with in the far east,
it is obvious that we must have an |
efficient and modern navy. At least |
four of our big battleships, the Indiana,
Massachusetts, Oregon, and Iowa. are
