MEMORIAL.

On Saturday afternoon, November IA 1914; about 3 o'clock, on the east side of the town of Conway, Ark, Woot L. Hartley was suddenly called from the walks of this life to his fu- ture reward in the boundless eternity.
 He had just started with his wife and two-months-old baby to visit his sisters and relatives, nine or 10 miles away, in anticipation of pleasant visit, but was an unfortunate victim of lamentable runaway accident, be- ing thrown from a buggy onto con crete sidewalk, from which he was conscious no more, and in about an hour his mortal life was ended.
 He was taken away so quickly that we can hardly realize that he is gone He leaves a wife and a little baby, a mother, four sisters, two brothers and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his sad departure.
 Brother Hartley was born in Pon- totoc county, Mississippi, on Decem- Der ?, 1880, and moved with his par .ents to this county and state in 1893. He joined the New Liberty Mission ady Baptist church in August, 1906, was ordained a deacon of the same church in 1908 and lived a devout and faithful Christian until death lcalled him home.
 He was married to Miss Beulah Johnson in November, 1913. No words can console the bereaved and loved ones Time alone can bring such consolation, and while it seems so hard to give him up, we do not be- lieve he would have us grieve for our loss and his gain.
 The funeral took place at New Lib- erty on Sunday afternoon, November Il5, 1914. An immense crowd of sor- rowing relatives and friends attend, ed the services, conducted by Rev. B. c. Adams of the Vilonia Baptist church, who delivered a very impres- sive ceremony over the remains, de- picting the noble life and Christian i character of the deceased, whom to known was to love and respect.
 After the services the remains were laid to rest in the New Liberty ceme- tery to await the Resurrection day.

SENSIBLE ADVICE.

The Progressive Farmer-which by the way, we regard as the best az ricultural paper in our acquaintance
 does not take much to the various schemes now being offered for the sal vation of the southern farmer. Live stock, wheat, cabbage, potatoes, sugar beets, etc., the Progressive Farmer says, are all good and it, along with many other agricultural journals and newspapers, have advocated such di- versification for many years.
 But" the Farmer says, and here is the rub4with seven-cent cot ton and scant credit, coupled with an ignorance of livestock farming, in profundity only rivaled by that of some of his long-range advisers, it's a little hard to see just how the all-his- life all-cotton farmer is going to make the transition. Likewise, turning to truck or other crops, of which we know little or nothing, either in pro- duction or marketing, is all too likely to result in failure.
 What, then, shall we do? To those of our readers who are already inde- pendent of cotton we would extend fe- Iicitations. To those that are not, we commend the following, and, lest we fail in the category of the long-range, ill-advised advisers before referred to, we modestly affirm that we have taken this medicine, and found it good:
 "A good garden, with something coming from it 12 months in the year 1; a liberal patch of sorghum or Louis jana cane for syrup, not forgetting this fall liberal supply of seed; not less than two or three good brood sows yard filled with we'll housed, we'll cared for chickens, well supplied this winter with green crops to aug nlent the egg crop and the family in- come; two or three good milch cows a liberal acreage of fall-sown oats cover crops on all lands in order that fertilizer bills next spring may be cut to minimum; plenty of corn, planted on rich land, to supply the farm, with perhaps a surplus for sale; and then the devotion of what lands and time may be left to the production of re- duced acreage in cotton. Couple with these the most rigid economy, holding this years cotton crop for higher prices, and a fixed resolve never again to be caught in such fix, and we have all the solution there is for the all-cotton farmers present pre- dicament.
 To this sensible, and sound advice, we would add that the farmers living within a radius of four or five miles of Conway, will find that an acre or two in strawberries will prove prof table. No one should plant more than can be handled by his family; but, or dinarily an acre of strawberries will net the grower from $75 to S150 and will bring in little money at time of year when money is usually scarce

Special to The NeiDs.

Special to The Neps.
Jackson, Miss, Jan. Ex-Governor
Brewer sent a special message to the
legislature this morning sharply re-
minding the members that they have
thus far failed to make arrangements
to take care of six loans, aggregating
over $4,000, negotiated in the legisla-
tive recess, which fall due within a
few days. The governor warns the
legislators that impairment of the
states credit inevitably follows
neglect of such matters.
An unsuccessful effort was made in
the house this morning to choke off
prolific writer's of new bills, a resolu-
ton providing that no new bills be
introduced after February 5th being
voted down by a decisive majority.
Over 80 0bills have been introduced
in the two houses. About half this
number have been disposed of by ad-
verse committee reports.
To put levees in the lower Missis-
sippi district above the highest known
flood mark and impregnable against
overflow, is the avowed purpose of a
big delegation of prominent Delta cit
izens who reached Jackson this morn
ing. The delegation comes for a con-
ference with the house and senate
committees on levees and to urge the
passage of pending bill, giving the
levee board authority to increase the
ad valorem tax levy to twenty mills.
The million dollar bond issue author
lied at the special legislative session
in June will be expended by the 1st
of October, leaving the levee board

EXPERTS PLEASED
With Their VISIT
ERTY REPRESENTATIVES,
MAKE THOROUGH INSPECTION
OF LOCAL PROPERTY.

For the past three days a party of
efficient experts have been engaged in
making a thorough inspection of the
plant of the Hattiesburg Traction Com
pany. The party consisted of R. F.
Carbutt, organization specialist; R. l..
Baker, specialist on overhead construc-
tion and electrical engineering; F. C.
Weber, electrical engineer; w. G..
Williams, specialist on power house
construction and steam apparatus, and
H. L. Rogers. chemist and boiler ex-
pert. These gentlemen are from the
New York office of Henry L. Doherty
& Company and they are on tour of
inspection of all the plants in the
United States in which the Doherty
people are interested.
The visitors were pleased with con-
ditions in Hattiesburg and their visit
enabled them to make such sugges-
tions as will tend to keep the local
plant up to its present efficiency and
as business justifies to make further
improvements and extensions.
Not only does their inspection and
recommendations relate to the physi-
cal property, but the personel of the
company as well. The intention is
that each individual in the service OF
the company may have the benefits
of the latest and best methods of op
Grafton in each department and there
by enable local companies to render
the best possible servise to the Gus
toners.

which he had expressed interest in the
Investigations being made by the Gov

the work. The Governors letter was
as follows:

held Wednesday afternoon. Owing to
the fact that the house was in session
and important committee meetings
were being held which required the at
tendance of Senators Norwood and
Donald, the meeting was brief.
Two additional witnesses, ]. M. lobe,
a farmer near Corinth, and James H.
Rose, a rural route carrier, were ex-
amined in regard to letters which had
been sent Representatives Nabors and
Cotton.
Mr.. Rose simply testified that all
that he knew about the letter to which
his signature was attached was that
it was handed him by DR.. Borroum to
sign, which he did, leaving it with the
doctor to mail.
Mr.. Jobe stated that Mack Ross had
asked him to go with him to Dr. Bor-
roum's office; that when he reached
there a paper was handed him to sign,
the nature of which he did not take
the trouble to inquire particularly.
Mr.. Jobe created some amusement
when he stated that he had some way
got the idea that the document which
he had signed was a petition to the
legislature to pay Governor Brewers
salary He did not have his glasses
with him at the time, and only got a
vague impression that it pertained to
money that was owing to the Governor
This was all the testimony taken
after which the committee dispersed
