Warns Mississippians,

Clarksdale. An interesting letter
which has just been received here from
Capt. T. Likens, former road commits
sioner of this county, may be of inter
est to young men all over Mississippi.
The captain is now at San Diego, where
he has been for several weeks, and where
he will probably remain for the balance
of the winter. To the young men and
women Of Mississippi who are contem-
plating going to California to seek en-
ployment, having in especial view the
forthcoming exposition, he says emphat-
ically "Stay where you arel" 1t is q
dandy place to spend money, California
is, says the captain, but you'd better
bring the money along with you. Tho
ranks are already vastly overcrowded.
"There are already one hundred thou.
sand applicants ahead of you" the
Clarksdalian phrases it, and he says
they are looking for every conceivable
kind of employment. Capt. Liken's high
standing in the community ~hereabouts
will lend Importance to his words, and
may in reality be the means of saving
many a Mississippi youngster some heart
burnings and regrets.

According to Rev. G. I. Thompson Of

Ell Paso, Texas.-Simultaneously re
pulsing a front attack and a right and
a left flank attack, turning the separate
attacks to a general engagement along
his line of defense IL. miles long, Gen.
Francisco Villa, by executing a clever
strategy after dark, drove the attack

fore TERRA Blanca and hurled his cav.
airy after them as they fed in pane
to their trains.
Gen. Jose Ynez Salazar's command is
completely surrounded south Of Saragosa
and his capture is momentarily expect

soldiers to take Gen. Salazar alive, so he
may be publicly executed as an exam

A teamster returning from SaragOsa
where he had been hauling ammunition
and medicine to Villas forces, reported
the federals were cut to pieces and then
dead would probably reach 100. Villa

After surrounding Gen. Salszar, Villas
forces desisted from further fighting,
The decisive momevent came wher

wing, opposite Belen, Texas, had beer

The federal forces, bent ON a surprise
advanced upon the position. Half way
to the apparently deserted Villa cam
they were confronted with not only Vii
las main column, but deteaehments from
the right and left wings.
The battle soon turned to a rout Of
the federals, who in disorganized flight
were unable to distinguish friend from

When the rout was well advanced Gen
Villa hurled his cavalry at the federal'

Sign Petition.

A largely signed petition for the par
don of J.. L.. McLendon, former peniteu-
tiary sergeant, who was sentenced last
July in the circuit court of Rankin coun-
ty to six months Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for embezzlement of funds
received for state products, was pre-
scented to Gov, Brewer. McLendon was
indicted and tried as a result of the
probe of Gov. Brewer, along with two
other men, and in view of his plea of
guilty was given the minimum sentence.
Gov. Brewer heard the verbal statement
of Attorney Watkins, representing Me
Tendon, and promised to give the case
careful consideration. 1t is probable
that the pardon will be issued just prior
to the expiration of his brief sentence
thereby saving his franchise and sui
frage rights.

Oil Situation Relieved.


The oil mill situation in Mississippi
has been temporarily relieved by an ar
rangement effected with the state de-
partment of justice whereby a sufficient
bond has been accepted, OF a blanket ma
ture, whereby the writ of punishment
was gotten out, pending the perfecting
of satisfactory bond, can be discharged
and the property of the crushera and
seed owners, in the mills and in transit,
released. Az agreement was reached be-
tween the attorney-generals department
and the oil mill representatives and a
general bond, aggregating over 100000,
was offered and accepted.
The action of the encouragement has
had the effect of getting the mills and
their representatives greatly wrought up

up; freight yards were becoming CON

ing effected. Oil mills in various parts
