JACKSONIANS WANT HOTEL.

Jackson.-Much interest is felt as
to the outcome of a bill of Injunction

in the property, the object of which
is to compel the Carnes-Jones combi-
nation of Memphis, owners of the site
on which stood the Hotel Norvelle,
destroyed by fire some nine years
ago, to rebuild the structure or else
take some steps whereby the hotel
may either be rebuilt or the money

which had been raised by the Jack

MARSHAL SHOOTS MAN.
Renews Old Grudge After It Was
Thought to Be Settled.

Pickens.-J. A. Wales, town marshal,
shot and probably fatally wounded Ed
gar Kitchens, a well-to-do farmer liv-
ing six miles east of here.
The direct cause of the shooting is
unknown, but it is said that Kitchens
first encountered Wales at Anderson's
drug store, where he renewed an old
enmity, bringing up more charges, and
then demanded an apology, which was
reluctantly given by the marshal. They
again met at the foot of the stairs
leading up into the town hall, where
the quarrel was renewed by Wales,
who seemed to have upon second
thought regretted his attitude Of peace
in the drug store, and then, after a few
more heated words on both sides, he
drew his revolver and shot Kitchens
three times before he was seized by
Max Purcell, a bystander, who pin
toned his arms.
Kitchens was unarmed, and after an
examination by a quickly summoned
physician his recovery was reported as
being very doubtful.

III, 1903, forty army officers entered
the palace, burst into the apartments
OF the king and queen and killed them.
Details of the tragedy vary, but the
best authenticated is that the couple
died In each others arms. The same
night several ministers we're slain by
the plotters. The total number of vic.
Tins of the conspiracy Ia said to have
been f1fty-four.
AT the time of the tragedy King Pc
ter was in Geneva, living a secluded
life, and, apparently, taking little in
terest in the politics Of his native
land. Ever since the terrible night
OF the assassinations he has denied
that he had any foreknowledge of
them. Nevertheless, suspicion has con-
tinued, Justly or unjustly, to rest upon
him, and it was some years after his
accession to the throne before Great
Britain and other powers recognized
him formally as king Of Servia.
King Peter as a young man led an
adventurous life. He studied in Swift
erland and then went to the French
Military academy at st. Cyr. He took
part in the Franco-German war as an
officer of the Foreign legion.
For many years he is said to have
engaged in conspiracies against King
Milan Of Servia, but for forty-ive
years he never set foot on Servian soil
until he was elected king by the Serv.
ian parliament.
New Capital Easier to Defend.
kraguyevatz, to which King Peter
has moved his court from Belgrade, is
about fifty miles due south of Semen
dria, on the Danube, and about sixty
hve miles south-southeast Of Belgrade.
1t lies on a branch spur Of railroad
about fifteen miles from the main line
to Salonika and Constantinople, and
Is well adapted to defense. It Is the
third town in size in the old kingdom
OF Servia, with about 10000 people.
Its only %superiors are Belgrade and
Nisch.
The town was the first capital OF
the principally Of Servia, after its
partial liberation from the Turks,
serving as the seat Of the Obrenovitch
princes from 1915 to 1912. After that
the family Of Karageorgevitch occu
pied the throne from 1912 to 1858, the
obrenovitches again from 1853 to
1908, and the Karageorgevitches since.

VlRG TAYLOR STAYS WIFE.
Claims Shooting Was Unintentional.
Neiqhbors Say Otherwise.


Yazoo City.-Virg Taylor, a negro
living on South Ward street, shot and
killed his wife, a ball from a pistol
piercing the woman's heart.
Taylor claimed that he accidentally
shot the woman; that he was removing
the pistol from underneath the pillow,
where it was kept at night, when the
explosion occurred. The ball entered
the shoulder blade and penetrated the
entire body, coming out on the left
side just above the heart.
Negroes and white people living in
the neighborhood claim that the ne
groes had been quarreling the night
previous, some alleging that Taylor
had whipped his wife.
A jury vas impaneled to hold an in
quest over the dead body, and after
taking the testimony of several ne
groes living in the neighborhood de-
cided to continue the hearing, when
more testimony will be introduced.
Taylor, in the meantime, has been on
fined to the Yazoo county Jail.

The Russo-Turkish war, which fol.

Herzegovina were left nominal Turk

AustrIa's Seizure Of Bosnia.
The consequence of this was a four
year insurrection against the Austri-
ans. the effects of which have never
disappeared. The Austrians have
spent large amounts of money on the
country, but never allowed it auton-
omy; and in 19O3-9, using as an ex-
cuse the constitutional revolution in
Turkey, which would require dele
gates to the Turkish parliament to
come from these two states, which
were actually in Austrian hands, the
Hapsburg monarchy formally annexed
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Germany
backed up her ally. and the protests
OF the Slav powers did not go to the
extent of war. Meanwhile the Slavs
OF Dalmatia are under Hungarian
rule; and here, as in Bosnia and Her

eminent have never come to anything

Of the core of their old empire in

BUSINESS RIVALS.
TRAGEDY SHOCKS JACKSON
Dispute Following Dissolution Of Part
nershlp Several Years Ago-Were
Members Of Prominent Mis-
sissippi Family.

Jackson.-While the heart of the
city was hushed and an unusual air OF
quiet prevailed during the last rites to
the memory of Father c. A. oliver, the
spirit of tragedy and the most awful
of its kind, with brother against broth
er, "a engaged in reaping a harvest.
The brothers were Thomas E. Tay-
lor and Robert M. Taylor, both OF
whom were engaged in the undertake
ing and embalming business, each on
his own separate account and In diff
ferent parts of the city.
1t appears that Tom E. Taylor, aged
As, was driving along Pearl street past
the place of business of Robert NJ,
aged 40, and was proceeding on his
way, when the latter, who had noted
his brothers approach, it is said, went
inside his shop and returned with a
breechloading shotgun loaded with
buckshot. Without a word of warning,
so far as can be learned, Robert Tay-
lor took deliberate aim, firing the con-
tents of two cartridges into the body
of the elder brother. The firing had
the effect Of frightening the spirited
horse which Tom Taylor was driving,
which bolted just as the body of the
wounded man fell to the pavement well
tering in his own blood.
Immediately after firing the shots,
and without waiting to note the result
as ascertained, Robert Taylor turned,
went into his shop, passing through
the office to the embalming room,
where he stood beside his own embalm-
ing table and fired two bullets from a
.38 special S. & w. pistol through his
own brain, falling where he stood and
dying a few moments afterward with
out uttering a word.
The entire time of this bloody trag-
edy was not more than five minutes,
and in less than Is minutes after its
occurrence the body of Tom Taylor
was being removed to his own under
taking parlor on State street, with a
detail of police in charge, while an
other squad of police was on duty at
the R. M. Taylor establishment.
The tragedy is a sequel to business
troubles which have existed between
the two for several years past.

sible for the ruling Of the powers,
which compelled the Servians to give
up part OF their conQuests in Albania
Thus Servia lost her chance to get g
seaport and remains q landlocksd
power, her only outlet being through
the friendly Greek ports On the Ae.
gean sea.
But the Servian victories in Mace
donia, and the Greek capture Of Sa-
lonika put IN unexpected obstacle in
the way Of Austria's march to the
south. No more could the dual mon
archy hope to inherit Salonika and
the land between that port and the
frontier of Bosnia on the final down
fall Of Turkey; Servia was now
squarely across her path.
So the Balkan wars left the Servi-
ans confident of their military ability,
elated by victory. determined on com
plete national unity, and angered by
Austria's continued hold on the north
ern part OF the nation and by her &C.
ton in depriving the nation Of an out.
let to the sea. These wars left Austria
Hungary with increased difficulties in
dealing with the Slav tribes, particu-
larly the Servians, now In her domin-
ions, and convinced that the march to
the southwark must be given up alto
gether unless Servia could be put out
of the way.
To this yer added minor irrita-
lions, such as the railroad question in
Macedonia. The Servians wanted to
add the railroads In the territory con-
equered from Turkey to the state sys-
tenn, but the stockholders, most Of
whom were Austrians or Hungarians,
objected. Moreover, there was con-
slant friction In Bosnia, and the party
in Servia which regretted the break
up Of the Balkan league was inclined
to attribute the discord between Bull
garia and her former allies to the op-
erations Of Austrian diplomacy.
Thirty years ago Servia was a cats
paw for Austria in Balkan schemes,
with Russia backing Bulgaria, but now
the Servians can count on Russian
sympathy, for their cause is indirectly
the cause of the entire Slavic race in
its double struggle to be free from
German rule and to fight with the Ger.
mans for the heritage of CONSTANT,

Best Record in South.

I'VE
The excellent reports submitted By
the deputy state registrar to congress
several months ago had a whole lot
to do with the passage of the Randall
bill authorizing a federal appropriation
of 100000 for educational work In the
various states regarding malarial fe-
vers and typhoid.
DR.. F. L. Watkins, deputy state reg
istrar, has been paid a high compli-
a letter to DR.. Watkins DR.. Won Ezdorf
the United States health department
forces, who is at present in Mobile. In
a letter to DR.. Watkins DR.. Won Szdorf
says his report was the best received
fro II any of the southern states.
1t may be of interest to know that
physicians are reporting cases to the
board of health as they have never
done before, owing to the activities of
the health board in demanding that
laws requiring certain cases be report
ed, and the efforts of DR.. Watkins to
have the data on hand from which to
compile correct and full reports for
the legislature or the federal govern
ment on demand.
AS an example of how much better
the reports are now than formerly, one
illustration Is to the point. In 1913
doctors in the state reported 14,055
cases of malaria to the deputy regis
trar, the number covering the first six
months of the year. In 1914 32,184
cases were reported up to July l, an
increase of 1929 cases reported. 1t
Is believed that heretofore not nearly
all the cases were reported by doctors.
In writing to DR.. Watkins regarding
his report he sent to the federal health
department Surgeon Won Ezdorf says:
Il am greatly pleased to learn Of
the excellent reports that you are re-
ceiving. | certainly want to congratu-
late you on the way you are getting
these reports and In particular the
great improvement that you have at

stated this before a committee of the

this week. If you will keep me in

postal cards to physicians in such
counties. assure you of my great ap-
probation of the statistics that you
