tract for 10000 Square
Yards and All of the
Wood Blocks Will Be
Manufactured in Pensa-
cola = Other Contracts
Anticipated Which Will
Keep the Plant Busy.

being Manufactured in Pensacola and
shipped to Laurel, Miss. where the
Southern Construction & Paving Co.

yards of paving of this character
The work has commenced and four
teen car loads OF the blocks have al
ready gone out and will be shipped

until sufficient material is on hand to
fill the contract.
The blocks are made at the local
plant of the paving company, which
was established when the bond trus-
tees awarded the contract for the
wood block as well as brick paving TO
the firm. The quality of block turned
ont at the plant is said 70 equal any
being made. All material is being
supplied IN Pensacola, with the excep-
ton Of the oil, and the labor employed
at the plant is likewise from this city.
Capt. NicholI. for years city engineer

paving work in Laurel. was in the city
during the past week, and made an
inspection Of the plant as well as the
blocks being placed by the paving
company on the streets Of Pensa Goa.

The local plant will probably con

period, provided the outlook for bust

phone and telegraph companies as we'll

discussing the Mexican situation. The
president left the conference for an
hour to attend dinner of house mem
bers to former Speaker Cannon, but
returned Immediately to the cabinet
meeting, the members waiting during
the hour Brigadier General Croz1er
conferred with the president previous
tn the meeting. One of the first things
taken up at the cabinet meeting was
the reply TO President Madero's per-
sonal appeal that Intervention or land
ing of troops be delayed. At the end
OF the first half hour the president
sent for a stenographer. 1t was pre-
sumed reply was being drafted.
At midnight the cabinet session was
still going on. Dispatches from Mex
leo City that both sides were consid-
ering making a neutral zone OF the
American embassy and proposed to re-
move non combatants during an ar
mistice was taken IS argument in ia
vor of the governments non-interfer-
ence policy. President Taft is. stlll
loath to intervene.
A reply to President Madero was
finally framed. It was similar to pre-
vious notes and was that the United
States does not want to interfere, but
proposed to keep it's forces in positions
where it could quickly protect Amer
leans il necessary.
The meeting adjourned At 1880 a.
m. Secretary to the President Hilles
issued statement saying 1t was de-
cided that the information thus far re-
ceived afforded no basis Of a change

Mexico City. Feb. 16.-Francisco
Madero de1antly declared today he
would not resign the presidency Of
Mexico. He said he was legally elect
ed by the people, and was the consti-
tuted president, and that he would die
before he would resign. The presi-
dents declaration was made to the
Spanish minister, who was with him
in the national palace just before the
arrival Of a committee from the Mex
iccn senate, who came to see Madero.
1t Is believed, with the intention of
asking him to resign. The committee,
however, failed TO find the president
because he refused to see the mem
bers.
Ia the battle today between the fed
erel troops and rebels under Gen. Felix
Diaz, no marked advantage had been
gained by either side up to late this
afternoon. There was noticeable
dtmunition of the firing all along the
lines at o'clock this afternoon.
The government forces placed bat
terry within two blocks of the United
States embassy, but did not get it into
action as Ambassador Wilson prevailed
upon the commander to withhold fire
until he could communicate with Gen.
Huerta, the Mexican federal COM
nander. The reply OF the rebels was
that their fire would have endangered
not only the embassy but numbers of
American citizens residing In the dis
tr1ct
MAY LAND MARINES.
After the committee of senators,
which failed to find President Madero,
returned to the senate chamber they
determined to inform the public OF the
alleged determination OF the United
States to intervene. 1t was reported
here that President Taft had advised
the British embassy that the United
States would move marines into Mex
leo City. The announcement was made
public from carriages in which the
senate committee had gone to the ma
tiopai palace.
HEAVY CASUALTY LIST.
There were numerous casualties
among the nom eomba tlnts today.
Two Americans were killed. r. NJ.
Meredith. of Troy, Ohio, who was
slightly wounded two days ago, was
killed by shell which crashed through
Porter's hotel. Sidney Sutherland, the
correspondent of a Salt Lake City
newspaper. residing here, was killed
by the same shell.
Ambassador Wilson had a narrow
escape from a rifle bullet which
whistled close to his head within the
embassy. Late this afternoon the Ger
man embassy was struck by shell.
Ambassador Wilson and Pedro Las
curain, the Mexican foreign minister,
were in conference several hours dur
ing the day. Their efforts TO arrange
an aFnistice were vain. Diaz, the rebel
leader, refused absolutely to hear of
peace until President Ma5ero and his
cabinet had resigned.

FULL TWO WEEKS
FOR CHRISTMAS
School Year Will Comprise
Thirty-Tw Weeks, Less
Holidays Exclusive of
Christmas; Places Schools
On More Systematic Basis
And Is Thought a Truly
Economical Step.

With the opening of schools in Es-
Gambia county for the next term
September 20. the twenty-day system
will go into effect. That system, ia
vored by Superintendent A. S. Ed
wards, has been successfully tried in
Ohio and other states are taking Il
up.
1t is primarily a saver of time and
labor for the supervisor of public in
struction and the teachers, as fouI
weeks Of five days each constitute q
school month and. in this county
eight Of those months will comprise g
school year, thus doing away with
much OF the former difficulty In max
ing up monthly reports.
To complete twelve weeks before
the opening of the Christmas vaca-
tion the schools will open on Monday
and the Christmas vacation will begin
on the Friday preceding Christmas
vacation will be of two weeks dura'
ton as the pupils Will not return tc
their studies until Monday, January
4th.
All other holidays will be deducted
with the exception Of the two days oi
Mardi Gras, which VIII be observed
under the new rule.
The school year will begin either
upon the last Monday in September
instead of the first Of October here
after. but the one OF two days added
there will be returned TO the scholars
at Christmas time.
The new system will reduce the la
Dor of figuring salaries to a minimum
and save much time in drawing war
rants, besides eliminating practically
all of the present chance OF making
mistakes
