COMPRESS BREAKS RECORD
Is Already Away Ahead Of
Any Previous Year

This year Bolivar county has
broken her cotton growing record
all to smash, raising more than
100000 bales. And now comes
the Rosedale Compress wifi a
statement showing a much larger
business this year than ever
before in its history. This is
doubtless due somewhat to the
large crop. but, at the same time,
we believe that the prompt and
business like service extended to
patrons. together with the cour-
teou, treatment of all by Manager
Priestiy and his Office force has had
much TO do with the increase.
We take pleasure III publishing
the following figures, which speak
for themselves, and hope that ye,r
after year the business will grow:

JOE DIXON TO Be HANGED.
Will Pay the Penalty Ct His
Crime March 26-

On Monday the Supreme Court
of the State confirmed the senten.e
of Joe Dixon, the negro who killed
Levee Contractor Whkerson last
spring OH the levee near Beuiah.
This was one of the most brutal
crimes ever committed in Bolivar
county, and at the time it oc-
CURED it was thought the negro
would be hanged within month or
six weeks. A special term of the
circuit court was called to try the
case and he was duly convicted and
sentenced by Judge Watkins, but
an attorney of Vicksburg was em-
ployed in the case and took an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court and it
dragged along until the first Of
the week when. as stated above,
the sentence wasa firmed., ''''p
1t is too bad that the case was
allowed to hang FIRE so long, for
the effect of hanging will not have
as much force now as if had occul
red promptly-though it should
have more, for it shows that even
with all the wiles OF trained at
torney in attempting to save his
neck, and with fair and impair
tial review of the evidence by the
Supreme Court, still the murderer
will have to pay the penalty of his
crime.
The Gallows were erected at the
time Judge Watkins sentence him,
so everything is ready for the final
act in the tradegy. and it will take
place on March the 10Th, 1914.

PRESIDENT WILSON OPPOS
ED TO LITERACY TEST.

Press dispatches from Washing
ton, published this morning state
that President Wilson will veto the
Burnett immigration bill if it comes
to him for signature with the SO
called literacy test contained in it.
The president does not consider
literacy test of character and be-
devised to prevent undesirable
aliens from entering the United
States,
Nm this instance, as in any others,
President Wilson has demonstrated
that lie is broad minded and great
man, as we'll as man of humane
aud sympathetic mature. 1t may
not be amiss to repeat that the
forefaters Of many 3 the best peo-
pie of the United States, could not
have passed the literary test when
they enigrated from Europe and
were welcomed to the hospitable
shores of this country, the land OF
liberty and of opportunity.
Abraham Lincoln was not a
billy educated man; and it is relat-
ed that Andrew Johnson, who at
forwards become President OF the
United States, was taught how to
read by his wife. Andrew Jack
one of the great Presidents Of the
United States, was not an erudite
man. It is tradition that he
originated the almost universally
used 20 K" when he attach
ed it to some document which had
been brought to him for approval.
And then when President Jackson
was asked to explain the meaning
of the symbolic letters, he prompt
ly replied that they stood for oil

Observation-Disclosures.
Of STERLING MERIT
BY MARY RUHL.

1t seemed like a dream to Arthur
Leasing to be back again at Squire
Brenner's house that afternoon in
early May
The placid New England country,
green with young grass, the apple
trees in blossom, the we'll remembered
scenes came back so yividly to his
remembrance. It was four years
since he had left Wakefield, to make
his way in the world, and now, at the
age Of twenty-six, he was back, Bren-
ner's guest, and already with an es-
tablished position in the city.
1t was an open secret that he had
come back to ask Madge to be his
wife. They were old friends. She
had written to him sometimes, and
there was always a note of intimacy
in her letters. 1t had been an idyllic
love affair, though no word had been
spoken.
And they received him like an old
friend. When Madge shook hands
with him he felt the same subtle
touch Of sympathy. And Edith, her
sister, smiled as she greeted him.
She seemed to know; everybody knew
the purpose of his return during that
week that he was to be the guest of
his fathers Oldest friend.
Squire Bremen alluded tactfully to
the impending engagement as they
strolled under the big chestnut trees
together
THE man who gets Madge will be
lucky fellow" he said. She Is a
girl of sterling merit. And she will
inherit a good deal of money" Then
he turned suddenly and shook hands
with the young fellow
In the old days he and Leslie Carter
had been rivals for Madge. Leslie
had borne no malice when his suit
was gently declined. Leasing had
hardly expected to see Carter there,
but he seemed to be on intimate
terms with the family. He, too, was
a weekend guest at the Bremen
home.
During dinner Leasing noticed with
touch Of the old jealousy that Car
ter seemed to have established
brotherly relationship with the girls
And this was all that was needed to
kindle the young mans determine
ton. He would ask Madge that night
The opportunity was easily arrived
at, for the squire retired to his H.
brary, and Mrs. Bremen nodded over
her sewing. The girls and Carter had

ment-these things made life seem
intolerable. And Edith loved MIN!
There was no possibility of misunder-
standing what that expression nau
meant when she kissed him.
A man who lives by code Is pounu
with silken threads stronger IMAM
steel Leasing knew that there was
NO way out of the ENHANCEMENT WIN
honor.
He was the first down in the morn
ing. but after he had paced inc
grounds for a few minutes, carter
joined him.
81 didn't have much chance to con-
graduate YOU last night" he said, Of
fering his hand Its odd, isn't II
he continued. with short laugh
do you know, | always thought II
was Madge you cared for"
Leasing tore himself away, because
he could not trust himself to speak.
AS he entered the breakfast-room
Madge passed him. They stopped anu
looked at each other for an instant
There were dark rings under her
ewes, and she looked worn and nag
gard. Then she inclined her neau
slowly and was about to pass him.
"Madge!" cried Leasing, suddenly
He touched her arm. Won't you
come here moment?" he asked, draw
ing her toward the door. "Madge' l
thought
She tried to pass him, but ne
blocked the way. She was crying
she could not restrain herself.
DON'T" he pleaded-and suddenly
he was holding her In his arms and
kissing her as he had done SO often
in his dreams, but had never done
in reality.
She lay in his arms without resist
ing, and 1t was fully minute before
she could get her voice.
"Why-why7?' she stammered.
1T was you, Madge," he cried des-
perately. 81 thought that Edith was
you. 1t was quite dark, and you botn
wore white dresses though that
you knew, and that you had gone
there to wait for me-"
"You thought-it was-I?" she ex'
claimed looking up at him with
staring eyes.
Il made mad mistake which
must atone for the rest Of my life,
he answered. Edith loves me, and
she thinks love her. You remember
the old days? This must be good
by, Madge, forever, my dear"
A silvery laugh from the breakfast
room startled them. They spun
round to see Edith standing there.
Il couldn't help hearing you" she
said, laughing happily. 20, Arthur
how foolish we both were! l could
never have found courage to tell
you"
ITO tell me?"
THAT l thought you were Leslie,
she replied.
And then, In the revulsion Of 1t all
Arthur kissed Edith again. But
Madge did not seem to care.

Yes" she whispered, and pressed
her lips to his. And then he found
himself looking into Edith's dark eyes.
1t was we'll for his training that
he had been schooled ina difficult

himself. He linked her arm through
his and they started back toward the
house together.
And, at the door, stood Madge and
