Future Developments.

The part Hattiesburg and Forrest
county will play in finally establish

outlined when the directors Of the
Commercial Club meet in the club
rooms tonight.
President Hannah is especially
anxious that every director be on hand
tonight. The path1n6ers, whose re-
port will be the basis of the final
adoption of the route, will be through
here in less than month, and no time
is to be lost.
At tonights meeting Hattiesburg's
delegates to the Nashville convention
will make detailed report of the
convention proceedings. They will
discuss with the Commercial Club di-
rectors the things most necessary to
be done between now and the time
the pathfinders' car reaches the For
rest county line, and it is likely that
by tomorrow various pans for enter
tanning the pathfinders and putting
the roads in as good condition as pos
sible will have been determined.

the pathfinders and the Government
engineers who will accompany them
with all necessary information about
Mississippi. Lumberton, Purvis, Lau-
rel and other small towns will Of
course cooperate to the best of their
ability, but Meridian and Hattiesburg,
being the two large cities on the pro-
posed route between Nashville and
New Orleans, are expected to bear the
bulk of the trouble. Meridian has al
ready gone to work on its plans to
build the road and entertain the visit
ing delegates, and Hattiesburg un-
doubtedly will step into the forefront
after tonight's meeting.
President Hannah feels that the es-
tablishment of the highway through
Hattiesburg is essentially a matter for
the Commercial Clubs attention, and
urges that all of the directors be on
hand tonight promptly at eight o'clock.

Jackson, Miss, Sept, 2S.-With the

administration to take steps to force
England to take the embargo off of
cotton United States Senator James
X. Vardaman, of Mississippi, just
back from Washington. gave out a

Senator Vardaman says that the

London, Sept. 2S.-The allies ter
rife offensive on the Western front
has resulted in their gaining addition
al ground both near Souchez and in
Champagne, according to French Of
fetal statement issued today.
This statement declares that all
German attacks have been repulsed.
French officers estimate taat yester-
days attack by the German crown
prince in Argonne brought the losses
in his armies to the 100000 mark. g
1t is stated that yesterdays Ger
man attacks reached the French lines,
but failed to break through and left
the ground strewn with German dead
and wounded.
The French today are battering the
second line of German defenses in
Champagne; the British to the North
apparently have crushed the attempt
ed German counter attacks.
German prisoners are arriving in
France by the trainload; British
wounded from Flanders are arriving in
London.
The fighting on the Eastern front
favors the Russians on the South end
of the line; the report that the Rus
slams have reached Kovel, however.
is unconfirmed.
An important struggle is centered
on Dvinsk, where it is reported the
Germans are preparing for a great
assault
The Russians report that their
fleet has silenced the German land
batteries on the Gulf of Riga. Serbia
reports that two Teuss6 attempts to
cross the Drina we're repulsed.

COW THIEF NABBED
JUST BEFORE SALE
GENIE MosELEY ALMOST DIS.
POSED OF STOLEN PROPERTY;
OFFICER FRIGHTENED HIM.

If Genie Moseley had just possessed
a little more courage, he might have
sold the yearling, bought a ticket most
anywhere he wanted to go and been
far away from the clutches Of the law
But Genie lacked courage and that is
the reason he was escorted back to
the Ellisville Jail by Deputy Sheriff
Amos Jordan last night
Genie had quite crowd around him
and was offering a yearling for sale
to the highest bidder Saturday when
Officer Tom Moore appeared on the
scene. Auctioning off a yearling is
nothing especially uncommon and Of
ficer Moore paid no attention to it un-
til Genie saw the officer, whereupon
he led the yearling out from the crowd
and away from the officer.
The only thing Moore had against
the negro was a good deal of suspicion
and he thought little conversation
would shed some light on the affair.
So he stopped Genie and it developed
that Genie told strange tales. Moore
tied the yearling in vacant lot and
set about to find the owner. When
he learned that Genie was from Ellis
vile, wire was sent to the deputy
sheriff's office there and the animal
was soon identified as the property of
a negro woman in Ellisville.

SCORES HASTEN TO PAY

NO ARRESTS IN STREET TAX
CASES YET AND MANY HURRY

City Assessor j. E. Rawls and the
other clerks at the city hall are just
as busy as they can be today, and
were equally as busy all day yester-
day, receiving three dollars each from
scores of citizens who are hurrying to
pay their street tax before warrants
for their arrests are issued and the
amount doubled.
The time for paying street tax real
Tly expired last Saturday night and it
was the intention of the administra-
ton to issue arrest warrants for all
delineuents. But bright and early
Monday morning the delinquents be.
gan coming in and contributing their
three dollars and the same stream has
continued throughout today. The Of
ficials accordingly decided that as
long as business was so flourishing
without the extra fines well enough
would be let alone.

tho next day or two business will be-
gin to slacken up bit and as soon
as 1t does Officer Tom Moore will set
out with orders to arrest hundreds oil

Inc market showed no sign of weak.

good deal was sold at 11.65 but during
the middle of the forenoon 11.70 was

some cotton was bought at a consid.
erably better figure.

cember deliveries at 12.4O a rise of
16 points over yesterdays close.
Men closely in touch with the local
market said today that only about one
Nird of Forrest county's crop had
baer sold-certainly not more than
fofy per cent. There is considerably
less trading on the local market than
there was before cotton reached ten
cents and began to advance than has
been continuous ever since it hit that
mark. The farmers now show a dis
position to hold for the top of the
market, and even if there is a slight
Tumble, it is probable that a great por-
tion of the crop will be held on the
belief that any immediate fall in the
market will be temporary and that
eventually cotton will go considerably
higher than the present quotations.
