cused Of the murder of jefferson
County white woman were placed on
trial for their lives in the court Of

ed her by crushing in her skull with
an axe.

Tense to discredit the alleged con-
fessions by showing that they had
been obtained improperly.
Representing the three negroes, by
appointment, were W. L. Phillips, j.
r. Phillips. Frank Hardeman, r. G..
Price and Judge Atkinson. The State
was represented by Solicitor r. Lee
Moore. of Jefferson County: Solicitor

UNIFICATTON OF INTERESTS
IN SOUTH AMERICA DISCUSSED

approve the agreement for free commerce
between the Central American govern
ments reached at a former conference.
Delegates were requested. to suggest to
their government the advantages of send
ing annually on a voyage of instruction
to chief cities of the United States, two
students from each republic
Another suggestion was that Central
American governments should put into
practice the agreements which the con-
ferences already have reached, at least
between two or more of them, in cases
where the concurrence of all may not be
necessary.
These agreements were chiefly as to uni
form systems for money. weights and
measures, customs, commerce and consul
lar service. The question whether or
not to continue these conferences was
discussed. 1t is said the delegate from
Nicaragua has objected to them on the
ground that none of their recommended
tions ever have been put into force.
The Washington treaty of 1907 provides
that it shall remain in force five years
'.and thereafter if none of the govern
ments party to it offer objections" In
case objection is offered 1t is to con-
tinue in force six months after the filing
of that objection.

cannot fail to prove gratifying to your
body and constitute In some degree a
compensation for the sacrifices you
have been called upon to make in the
interest of the educational progress Of
the community. This summary of pro-
sress Is all the more gratifying when
it is recalled that our city has been
growing in population with marvellous
raridity; that the task of providing
suitable schoolroom accommodations
for our increasing enrolment is not
paral1eled in difficulty by that of any
other southern city; that we are handi-
capped by financial and legal difficult
ties that do not affect any city of the

portant work under your direction has
not only been remarkab bly, free from ad-
