Plan to Extend
Good Roads in
Forrest County
COMMERCIAL CLUB COMMITTEE
WOULD CONNECT WITH GOV.
iNeToN COUNTY HIGHWAYS.

The Good Roads Committee of the
Commercial Club, Of which T. G. Han
nah is the chairman, met last night to
discuss plans for the improving of the
roads in this county. 1t is proposed
to connect with the good roads of the
surrounding counties, particularly with
Covington county, which has recently
done much to improve her roads.
Covington county has built her roads
up to the Forrest county line and the
people are now waiting for the good
roads to connect them with Hatties-
burg so that they can come here to
trade.
Forrest county has on hand now
something like $4,000 which can be
used for building roads. The money
was raised by tax levy for good roads.
The levy did not state that the money
was to be applied for the maintenance
of the good roads now in existence
and the attorneys have construed the
law to mean that the money can not
legally be used for that purpose but
will have to be expended for the build
! ing of other roads.
1t is contemplated that a part of II
will be spent on the road leading out
from Hattiesburg, through Sanford
/ 4
county line.

LEADER IN BRITISH
PARLIAMENT DEAD
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN WORKED
LIFETIME FOR PROTECTIVE
TARIFF FOR HIS COUNTRY.
(Bg Associated PreSS.)

London, July 3.-The Right Honor
able Joseph Chamberlain, one of the
most striking figures in the last gen.
Grafton, died at his London home last
night. He had been suffering from
paralysis for the past seven years.
Joseph Chamberlain was the pioneer
in Great Britain of Tariff Reform, and
the great advocate of Imperialism.
For thirty-eight years, with brief in
terregnum, he represented Birming-
ham In Parliament. In 1906 his career
of stormy activities was ended by a
stroke of paralysis. The blow fell
when he was in the midst of strenu-
GUS campaign for the establishment of
a protective tariff with preference for
the British colonies, and just after his
constituents had celebrated the thir-
tieth anniversary of his first election.
Since that day the strong fighter
had been an invalid, pathetic on
locker at the political game, pictured
always with his loyal wife, daughter
of w. C. Edicott of Massachusetts, who
was President Cleveland's Secretary
Of War, beside him. His chief consola-
tions were the growing political prom
inence of his son Austen Chamberlain.
and the loyalty of his constituents.
Birmingham would not dispose her
leader, although he was no longer able
to represent her upon the floor of the
House of Commons. In each election
he was returned to his old seat, and
appeared afterward in the house but
once, where amid respectful silence,
he made his way to the speakers desk
on the arm of his son and took the
oath of office. January 5, 1913, Mr..
Chamberlain wrote to his constituents,
resigning his seat, and saying:
81 cannot hope again to do my work
in Parliament, and l feel that our city
and the constituency need the services
of a younger man."

PRESIDENT MISSISSIPPI
HEIGHTS ACADEMY
Spoke At Normal college at Chapel
Hour This Morning.
of the natio

j. E. Brown, president of Missis-
sippi Heights Academy and one of the
trustees of the Normal College, spoke
at the Normal College this morning
during the. chapel hour.
Mr.. Brown chose as the basis of his
remarks the sixth verse of the tenth
chapter of Romans. He admonished
the teachers not to go out to the rural
schools and depend solely upon text
books, as life does not consist wholly
of book-learning, but of other things
which bear upon the life of the in
dividual and of the community in
which he or she might live.
He said go out to the rural
communities and use the ideas which
you have been taught here in regard
to school life and school development.
Use your own initiative. God has given
everyone a talent. What you can do,
someone cannot do; what you cannot
do, someone else can. Therefore, put
ting forth all your own individual tai
ents, strive to make life worth living
to those whom you teach and mingle
with. The whole aim of the school Is
not merely to teach books to the chill
dren, but to teach the greatness Of
life when properly lived and the pos
sibilities that lie within every boy and
girl"

DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS JONES
COUNTY PEOPLE FAVOR DIP.
PING OF CATTLE.
RESENT The way The
Law WAS FORCED ON THtM
Not Fifty People in County Would Tol-
crate Dynamiting, He DecIares-For-
rest County Law Was Voted On BY
People and No Violence Is Expected.

Circuit court at Ellisville in Jones
county closed yesterday and R. s. Hall,
district attorney; S. E. Travis and D.
NJ Watkins returned to Hattiesburg.
Several of the now famous vat dyna-
hitting cases were tried during the
term of court.
Mr.. Hall says the fundamental issue
involved in the Jones county trouble
over the dipping watts is not whether
or not cattle are to be dipped but is
rather a political question. He says
the new law required that except where
dipping was already enforced, the mat
ter should be put to a vote.
In Jones county at the time the law
was passed the dipping was already
being enforced in parts of the county
and consequently the county board OF
supervisors did not think it necessary
to put the question to the voters, but
went ahead putting in the watts and ex'
tending the system to the whole coun'
ty. Some of the voters thought that
the board acted arbitrarily in putting
the system into effect without holding
an election.
There are not so men in the county
Mr.. Hall says, who would countenance
for moment the violence Of blowing
up the watts.
There is only a small percentage ol
the people of Jones county who are op
posed to the general proposition OF cat
tie dipping for ticks. Most people who
are opposed to dipping are law abiding
and peaceful citizens and have had
nothing to do with the dynamiting.
The fact that the Forrest county law
was enacted by vote of the people re
lieves all possibility of any violence II

Morgan City, La, July 3.-Citizens

the country, if necessary, for his un-
sophisticated 15-year-old daughter.
Viola, who eloped with Jack Suther-

after, it is alleged, he cashed forged

The father of the girl probably will
depart tonight for Houston, where it
was reported, the girl and Sutherland
were seen by Morgan City persons last
Sunday.
Police of Houston, however, have
failed to find them there, and it is
believed that the girl and Sutherland
have gone to Galveston.
Father Fears Girl Already Deserted.
The father fears that the girl has
been deserted by Sutherland already,
and that If he has not lost her he will
do so when the police are hot on his
trail. s.~..- Z,
The girl, the father said, has never
been out of Morgan City before. =
1t developed today that Sutherland
bought a wedding ring, necklace and
good supply of clothes with the money
he is alleged to have obtained by forg.
= ing checks.
1t is probable the government will
lend aid in running down the much
wanted Sutherland, because he has
taken the girl into another state.
Sutherland came to Morgan City
about six months ago and soon got
into the good graces of the young men
7 by training them in gymnastics. AT
the local electric light company he Sc
! cured a position.
Saturday night, when he visited the
stores and presented checks from the
firm no thought was given that the
checks were bogus.
Chief of Police Brakeman learned Of
the disappearance Sunday and the al
legged forgeries were uncovered.

HUNT FOR WOMAN,

HAND PUSHED THROUGH WINDOW
OF DOCTORS OFFICE FIRED
FATAL SHOT.

Freeport, N. Y, July 3-Evidence
has accumulated to support DR.. Edward
Carman's story that Mrs. Louise Bal.
ley murdered last night in his office,
was killed by shot fired through the
office window. In the physician s
room, four feet from the window, de-
tectives found an instrument case
bearing on it's white enamel finish
powder burns and furrow that might
have been plowed by the bullet as it
sped toward Mrs. Bailey.
This instrument case is so low that
had the shot been fired inside the room
the person who held the pistol must
have squatted on the floor. 1t was
however, directly in the path that the
bullet would have taken from a pisto

doctors office.
In the presence of detectives en-
gagged by the county and by the muir
dered woman's husband, William Bal
ley, a wealthy New York hat manufac
turer, DR.. Carman today rehearsed the
murder scene. He was about to pull
aside the curtain to permit Mrs. Bailey
to leave his office, he said, when he
heard a crash of glass and saw hand
with a pistol poked through the broken
pane. He and his patient were barely
two feet apart, he said, and he did moi
know at which the weapon was aimed
He ducked behind the operating chair
and as he did so the pistol was fired
and quickly withdrawn.
The detectives learned that a few
moments after the shot was fired 6
young woman hurried into the Free
port railroad station, apparently il
great agitation, and took the first traiI
