jackson, Miss, Aug. 22. - Col.
Henry Mccain, of the United States

in this state.
Col. Mccain is a brother of Mrs.
William L. Hemingway, of this city.
and has made frequent visits to jack
son on leaves of absence. He has al
ways steadfastly refused, however. to
permit any Of his influential friends
or relatives in Mississippi to use DO
litical influence to secure him pro-
motion in the army, and it can be
truthfully said that he has won his
rank by force of merit.
Col. Mccain is about fifty-five years
or age, and was prepared for West
Polnt under the tutelage of Messrs.
Alslem j. Jayne, NJ. Watkins and B.
w.. Griffith, of this city, afterwards
entering the Highlands Fall Academy

was assigned to the third infantry, U.
s. A., the regiment that was the last
to be removed from Jackson at the
close of the military regime following
the civil war.

CHARGES BELGIUM AGREED
TO AID FRENCH INVASION
Plants To Isolate Germany Laid In
London, Paris and st. Petersburg,
Japan's Action Indicates Fulfillmen Mt
OF kaiser's Warning Against "YeI.
low PERIL"
(By Theodore Schlitz.)

(Only subject of the Kaiser in Hat
tiesburg and formerly a member of
the Seventh German Infantry, which
led the charge against Liege)
After having received news from
Germany | come to the following
statement against other statements
published by different newspapers in
this country:
French officers and soldiers, espe-
cially of the artillery, had been sent
into Belgium before hostilities had
been begun, in order to aid the Bel
gians in the defense of the Liege
forts. This fully comedies with the
interview given by some person next
to the Kaiser, who has proof of his
assertions, that Belgium has promised
France to permit French troops to
pass through her territory on their
way to invade Germany.
The German foreign office having
ascertained this beyond any manner
of doubt, of course, took the initia-
tive, but not until the Kaiser first
asked King Albert's permission under
his guarantee of neutrality, which
was refused.
Thus it becomes more and more
evident each day, that there had been
a vast and clandestine conspiracy
against Germany long before Austria's
demand upon Servia kindled the con-
f1agration. 1t was self-evident to the
powers of the Triple Entente that the
Kaiser would stand by his ally, Franz
Josef, as he was in duty bound by the
terms of the Dreibund.
All this being carefully weighed in
London, Paris and st. Petersburg, the
preparations went on apace to isolate
Germany and then attack her five
against one.
Japan Dangerous Element.
Japan seems determined to wipe
out German trade control in the far
East. But why? And if so, why
only German influence? Is it not
reasonable to suppose that "after
Germany some other European ma
tion?" Has the world forgotten the
Kaiser's warning two decades ago,
when sending his brother to China:
"From the far East will come the
yellow peril to Europe?'
China is showing remarkable good
sense to disbelieve the protestations
of Japan and to side with Germany,
which has given the province OF
Kiau Chao unusual prosperity and
civilization. Is England. making the
same 'blunder with Japan as with
Russia? Only the future can tell
Brussels capitulation was expected
Perhaps also Antwerp. 1t does sound
a bit queer to read the optimistic
words: The Belgian situation re-
mains excellent" and at sthe same |
time hear that the Queen and her
children had to flee from Brussels.
How swift the German advance
must have been during the past few
days and how unerring their plans!
An advance of twenty-five leagues In
sixteen days, from AK La Chappele
to Diest in the face of effective artil-
lery fire is an exploit worthy OF the
finest achievements of the old Prus-
sian infantry.

FARMER
SHOWS UP RETAILERS
E. J. GREEN SAYS 100 TO 500 PER

Chicago, Aug. %. At the mass

Sent to investigate.

The rural economist, e. ]. Green,
had been sent by the farmers of Ala
bama to Chicago to see why they were
getting such small prices for their
vegetables. He went to the meeting
as a part of his investigation.
The statements of Mr.. Green came
when several commission men attack
ed the proposed ordinance to prohibit
combines and the boarding of food
stuffs for artificial values was being
considered by the markets commits
sion.
What Ordinance Aims At.
The proposed ordinance was read by
Acting Corporation Counsel Leon
Hornstein and covers three possibil-
tiles in the cornering of foodstuffs:
Prevents buying up food on the way
to market and thus cornering the sup
ply.
Prevents the buying and storage of
foodstuffs in the city for the purpose
of forcing an artificial value.
Aims at those dealers who obtain
possession of large quantities of food
stuffs and speculate with them to force
higher prices.
A penalty of $50 to 5000 a day was
provided for violations.

Weather Ideal
For Farmers

The weather during the past
week has been ideal for the
crops that are already in. The
first Of the week it began with
rain and part of Tuesday and
Wednesday it turned to snow.
Or course, this state of weather
is just what the farmers who
got an early start desire and the
grain which is in will come
bouncing out of the earth in
great shape. What is good for
the growing grains is good for
the business man and although
business will slacken up during
this kind Of weather, it should
not be noticed for it means 50
much more in the fall for the
farmers to spend. The only
thing for the farmers to now
worry about will be the prices to
be received for the grain next
fall, but indications point to a
substantial price for the 1914
crop.
This month the rainfall has in
creased greatly and there seems
no doubt but what the country
will receive the June rains which
are 50 essential to the crops in
the western country. The rain
fall during the winter months
IN these parts was greatly be-
low the average this year and it
almost certain that we will re,
ceivc the balance due during the
summer months. The farmers
tributary to our little city are
entitled to large crop this year
and as the majority of them
have taken better precautions
towards better crop this year
than ever before there seems no
doubt about them not raising
one of the largest known to the
history Of the country.
The decrease in acreage in
North Dakota, which the COM
mission men state has been the
largest yielders of flax, will pos
sibly make this grain take a de-
cided jump for the highest mar
ket prices this fall. In wheat
and barley. the acreage will in
crease, especially around these
parts. Good clean seed is plenti-
full around here and taking it
all in all. this year should place
the Wibaux farmers on easy
street, and place them in a posi-

OLD TROUBLES
NEWLY AIRED
Settlement Of Estate of Frank
Neiradzak Brings Endless
Complication.

MONTESANO, May 1S.-An old
time romancer somewhere in the dim
past remarked that every wrong step
had it's revenge and that it did not
stop with the original offender. This
is being played again today in Mon
tesano in the case OF Frank Nieradzik
who killed his paramour and suicid-
ed at Aberdeen.
Aside from the few thousand dol
lars of property he may have died
possessed of. and which is now in
litigation on behalf Of a deserted wife
in Germany, comes the fact that Nier.
adzik had owned and disposed of prop.
erty in Aberdeen as a single man.
Some Of his dealings were on time
contracts, and now his estate is sued
for the second time, by Anton Mich
aelzyk, who bought property valued
at $4,000, and which he paid except
$400 and he now wants his money
back or title to the property. The su.
perior court will have to adjudicate
the matter.
