PILE DRIVING
At METROPOLIS
,ome of To.be-U Used Concrete Piles
We're Tested and Were Driven
Successfully.

The contractors for the pier work
of the railroad bridge to be built
across the Ohio at Metropolis receiy-
ed several pieces of machinery
which they are to use, yesterday.
They expect to have more apparatus
there next week and to get to work
in placing piling for preparatory
pier work.
Yesterday an experimental driv-
ing of half dozen of large concrete
piles was made. The piles are thirty
feet long and run square from
twelve to sixteen inches across
They were driven most successfully
This experiment was made to decide
which style of pile should be made
for use by the bridge constructors.
There was perhaps never a more
lively spot about Metropolis than
the approach location Of the bridge
Many men are at work there each
day and next week will likely sec
the force enlarged. No grass is be
ing allowed to grow in the vicinity.
There was good rain in Metrop-
oils yesterday morning which came
as great relief 1t settled the dust
about the bridge scene, which had
become shoe TOP deep and was very
annoying.
The amount of work which has
been done already toward reaching
the river and to prepare for the
bridge work is most surprising.

WILL PROTECT
BANK At BIRDS
POINT ANY COST"
Is What Government Engineers Say
of Banks at This Important
Point.

The protection of the bank at
Birds Point, which has been in pro
aress at different times for the past
year or more, is still going on; and,
according to instructions from the
L S. Engineers office this bank
must be protected at any cost" the
people Of Cairo and the Iron Noun
tain and Cotton Belt roads should
get together on the question of
building an incline at this point.
Forty men at Birds Point have
been at work for several weeks and
it will require two more weeks to
complete the work ordered to be
done at this time.
When the government engineers
give such assurance that this bank
must be protected "at any cost" "
that is an assurance that ought to
satisfy any railroad that this will
be done: for money will do any
thing when it comes to a physical
possibility.

Memphis, Tenn. July 49, Motion
to dissolve the injunction granted
by Special Judge J II. Coates, which
prohibits ]. l.. Parham from acting
as a member of the Shelby County
election commission, is being heard
by Judge ]. p. Young of the circuit
court.
1t is claimed that Mr.. Parham has

ity.
Gen. Estes has an affidavit which
will be offered in evidence that Mr.
Parham was an election officer at
Cairo, H., in 1910.
On the other hand, it is admitted
that the hotel records of the Gayoso
are not in evidence, which will show
that Parham boarded there for one
year and half prior TO the removal
of the hat company to Memphis
Friends of Mr.. Parlam assert, how
ever, that this proof will be easily
secured in other ways, and that he

DRY" FARMING
PRACT|CED WITH
GOOD RESULTS
Two Instances Where Drouth May
Be Overcome, in Production
Corn and Potatoes.

Carson Martin, formerly of Cairo,
but for many years engaged in farm
ling near Beech Ridge, who was in
the city yesterday, while regrctting
the exceedingly dry weather of the
past two months says he will have
a good crop of corn from the $50
acres he had planted There is such
a thing as dry" farming and Nj.
Martin has, it is stated. succeeded in
proving that this can be done. While
it has taken lots of time and atten-
tion, going through the field with
tho plows three or four times a week
lately, he has a promising crop.
Another instance of dry" farm
ing is that of farmer who was in
Cairo recently who stated that he
had four acres of potatoes, a por-
ton of which he had covered to tic
depth of several inches with straw.
This straw prevented the plants
from drying UP by the heat and the
ground from emitting moisture. He
|said where he had covered his 20
tatoes In this manner they were in
very fair condition, while the other
portion of the crop produced
marbles Had ne straw enough he
would have saved the entire crop.

Ionsttutionalist forces are concen-
rated and avoid further fighting.

This information reached officials
here today from various points in

The American government Is
bending every effort TO bring about
peaceful agreement between the
Farbaial government and the Con-
'titutionalists and Is endeavoring to
armonize all elements in Mexico,
including the Zapata faction with
the program of peace.
Reports from Vera Cruz which
said that the Zapata forces were
close enough to Mexico City to oc-
cupy it If they desire. were born out
|by official advices here. Lately,
however, there has been an under
standing between the Constitutional

complete restoration of order was
