WOULDN'T BELIEVE
PLAINTIFF
ON Oath
CHARACTER WITNESSES IN WHIT
TINeToN CASE SAY REPUTA-
TIoN FOR TRUTH BAD.

Circuit Court is still engaged in the
hearing of the case of Ed Wilmington
VS.. J. J. Newman Lumber Company.
The defense began Wednesday after
noon to introduce character witnesses
and at the hour for adjournment they
had introduced four citizens from
Crystal Springs, who testified that
the plaintiffs reputation in that city
where he resides, for truth and We
racity, is bad. Each of the four wit
nesses swore they would not believe
the plaintiff on oath. Both sides this
morning called witnesses in rebuttal
The indications are that the introduc.
iton of testimony will be concluded
by four o'clock today.
With the large number of lawyers
engaged in the trial it is quite likely
that good part of Friday will be
taken up by this case.

r. r. Files Supplemental
Bill IN Injunction SUIT

The Gulf & Ship Island Railroad
Company has filed a supplemental bill
of complaint in its injunction suit
against the Home Telephone Company
and the Postal Telegraph Company, in
which it is recited that the Postal Tel
egraph Company's wires had been
strung on Home Telephone Company
poles on the right of way of the rail-
road company from Jackson to Mt.
Olive before the officials of the rail-
road were aware of what was being
done. 1t alleges that the telegraph
company was at once notified to dis
continue the stringing of its wires on
the railroad right of way, which II
declared it would not do until re
strained by law This expressed de
termination was the occasion of the
injunction sued out by the railroad
company.

issued the other day travelling SER
geant offered to take it to Parchman.
When he reached the office of the su-
perintendent that officer was talking
to a negro about pardon. The SER
geant handed over the document to the
superintendent, who glanced at it, and
exclaimed:
well, Wells, here is a pardon for
you now!"
Overjoyed, the negro took the par
don, and also a free discharge check
for $13.75 cashing the latter at a near,
by store. He bought overalls, discard
ed his striped clothes, and felt pretty
good. He was chuckling over his goot
fortune when the mistake was discov
cred in the superintendent office
Wells was brought back to the office
the pardon examined and found to b,
for the Neshoba county negro. Th'
latter was called out, given the paper
! the overalls that the other Wells hat
bought, while his striped clothing soor
adorned the person of the Wells from
Warren.

contract with the Home Telephone
Company entered into Aug rs, 1909, in
which that company is given the right
to construct, maintain and operate
telephone and telegraph lines and to
use the necessary railroad equipment
to do so efficiently.
The purport of the railroads con-
tention is that this contract does not
directly or indirectly authorize or per.
NIT another corporation to come on
the railroad right of way for the pur.
pose of constructing its plant and
operating an entirely different and
separate business from that carried
on by the company having the con
tractural right on that right of way.
The manager of the Postal Tele
graph office is still in this city, bu
the office has not been opened foi

will be ready to do business here can
not be learned.

(By Associated Press.)

London, Jan. 23.-The immediate
consequences of the Turkish Grand
Councils decision to conclude peace
with the Balkan allies will be the
cessation of hostilities between Tur-
key and Greece and the surrender iof
the Turkish fortresses of Adrianople,
Janina and Scutari. The allies are
planning an early withdyawal of large
bodies of troops from the field, but
peace delegations here believe 1t will
be nearly month before final sigma
lures are put to the peace treaty.

Allies immensely pleased.

London, Jan. 23.--Delegates from
the Balkan nations to the Turkish
Balkan peace conference here were
immensely pleased over the decision
Of the Turkish Grand Council at Con
stantinople to accept the advice Of
the powers to accede to practically
all the Balkan demands and end the
war
Turkeys reply to the joint note oi
the powers will be handed to ambassa
doris today and the remainder Of the
negotiations leading to the signing oi
a peace treaty are expected to be an
anti-climax.
The crucial point remaining to be
settled is the amount of indemnity
which Turkey will pay the allies. The
allies will probably ask 200 millions
Turkey will likely contest this amount
strongly as the practically bankrupt
condition Of the country will give them
a strong argument to make to the
powers.
The joint note of the powers ad
vises Turkey to concede AdrianoDle
to the allies, and leave the fate 'oi
the AEGEAN Islands to the powers fol
future determination. The Bulgarians
wish Adrianople and Greece the
Aegean Islands. If Turkey does this
the powers promise their benevolent
support as long as Turkey has listened
to their council.

pointment as Attorney General They
presented his record in the prosecution
Of the Archibald case, his activity in
behalf Of the laws governing contempt
cases and referred to his term as dis
trict attorney in Alabama

d State Chairman Hudspeth Of New Mex
leo, suggested A. A. Jones, Democratic
national committeeman from that

EXPLAINING THINGS.
burlington Hawkeye.]

Citizens Of Springfield are explain
ing how II happens that their city is
reported even more vicious and de-
PRAYED than the worst sections OF Chi
cage. They conveniently put all the
blame on the mayor and the chief of
police. They claim that the mayor
was real estate dealer and the chief
Of police was a farmer and that Meth
er had any knowledge of the conGi
tions prevailing. nor of the means TO
be used TO wipe out such conditions.
The explanation does not explain. The
conditions probably ante date the
present administration. The former
mayors were not trained for their po-
sitions but stepped out of some other
calling into the mayors chair. The
chief Of police has no prior experience.
He rarely does. as the appointment is
usually made for political reasons. 1t
seems a bit ridiculous 10 claim that
men should not be able TO see and TO
combat vice, simply because they have
been engaged in the real estate bust
ness or have been busy on farm.
The Springfield folk will have to in
vent some better excuse. And no at
tempt TO shift the blame on incompet-
ent Officials will suffice. Existing
conditions must have been known to
thousands. and all are 10 blame. who
knew and permitted such things to be.
