Distinguished Visitor.

Mr.. VIM. B. Clarke, president of the
Union Central Life Insurance Com
pany, spent day in Noxubee this week
as the guest of Mr.. Emmett Cavett,
who is the state agent of the company
for North Mississippi. Mr.. Clarke ex-
pressed himself as greatly impressed
with the signs of progress in our coun-
ty, the many silos, the good roads,
thoroughbred cattle and diversified
crops.
Mr.. Clarke has made speciality of
farms loans, believing them to be an
ideal form of investment for insurance
funds. at once safe and bringing in ade-
quate revenue and at the same time
beneftting the community from which
the money came as premiums on poll
cies. At present he is celebrating a
plan to make such loans on the amorti-
zation system, which may briefly be
explained as system of long time
loans at low rates and repaid in very
small annual installments. This is the
system in vogue in England and Europe
generally in farm loans and the system
proposed in the contemplated rural
credits legislation in Congress at the
coming session.

Edward Stevens Killed

Last Saturday morning just after
daylight negro boy, while going to
work on Mr.. Sam Cockrell's place six
miles northeast of Macon on the Macon
and Memphis road, discovered an auto
upside down along the road with the
lower limbs of man protruding from
under the machine. He ran to Mr..
Cockrell's house and gave the alarm
and as quickly as possible Mr.. Cockrell
went to the scene and had the auto
lifted up and the lifeless body of Ed
ward Stevens was found under it.
Death had come to him suddenly as
there was no evidence of the ground
being disturbed under ais feet or hands
and cigar, that he had been smoking,
was still between his teeth. The acci-
dent occurred some time after midnight
as Mr.. Stevens had been to Macon to
attend musical entertainment at the
Lyceum. He had gone to Mashulaville
in his car early in the night and
brought two young lady teachers in to
the entertainment and afterwards took
one of the teachers and Mrs. Watkins
and little girl to Mr.. Aubrey Barnhill's
home about six miles northwest of
town.
He had been up several nights pre-
vious and it is supposed that he fell
asleep and his car went into the ditch,
which was not deep, and tracks of the
car wheel showed he tried to turn it
back into the road, when the car
turned turtle and the steering wheel
caught him and crushed out his life in
stantly.
His remains were inferred in the Ex-
Prairie graveyard Sunday morning aft
er services at the church by Rev. Mr..
Evans.

Use the Banks.

The safest place for a mans
money is in some good, reputable
b a k. Occasionally . bank
breaks and every once in while
one is robbed, but when they do
the depositor usually gets back
the larger part of his deposits,
and runs no personal risk of also
going along with the bank.
That is not always the case
when a man boards his money or
keeps it upon his person, for he
not only invites robbery but risks
being murdered,
An aged jeweler of Bruins
wick, Ga. who didn't trust banks,
was found dead in his little shop
Sunday morning. His head had
been split open by a blow with
an axe. Everything in the shop
had been turned topsy-turvy and
the tin boxes in which he had
kept his money were empty.
The man had been working
hard for forty years and, as he
never made deposit in a bank,
the impression went abroad that
he had his savings boarded in his
place of business. This was
doubtless true, and it finally
tempted someone to break into
the place and commit murder in
order to obtain the money.
The savings of forty years and
the old mans life were alike tax
because he didn't trust
banks and thought his money
would be safer in tin boxes -

ENGLAND WOULD CONTROL
ALL ETAL MINES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, July 13.-The interest the
British government has recently taken
In the threatened shortage of zinc
(spelter), marks the first of a series of
moves which the new Ministry of Mu-
nitions plans to secure a steady flow
of supplies of the so-called war metals.
The great bulk of England's supply
of zinc-used in cartridge cases
came before the war, from Germany
and Belgium. There is no lack of zinc
ore, it is said, but the smelling works
of this country have not been adequate
to cope with the supply. Meanwhile
zinc has been advancing by leaps and
bounds, rising from a before-the-war
price of $110 ton to the recent quo
tation of nearly $575. Since the inter
vention of the government the rice
has fallen back to about $4-5.
No difficulty is anticipated regarding
nickel, which is a wartime essential ia
the manufacture of steel and for other
purposes. The sources of supply, New
Caledonia and Canada, are in the
hands of the Allies and the osition is
comparatively simple.
Lead comes from the United States,
Spain and Australia, and with the
seas open, it is expected that all the
supplies needed will be Forthcoming,
although prices have recently advanc-
ed sharply.
Anthony, which is used to harden
bullets, was formerly imported mainly
from France, but that country is now
using practically all it can produce,
and England and Russia are obtaining
their supplies from the Far East.
Copper comes to England from the
United States, Chile, Spain, and Aus
tralia. The main difficulty with this
metal is in regard to the price, which
has risen in price from $500 a ton a
year ago to recent quotations as high
as $41O.

BELGRADE PRACT|c|NG
WAR TIME ECONOMY
(By Associated Press.)

BELGRADE, July 13-In none of
Europe's capitals is the meaning Of
wartime economy so thoroughly I'M
derstood as in Belgrade. Only about
one-fourth of the inhabitants of the
city proper are now to be found there
and these subsist under great Difficult
ties. There are no street cars or
cabs. Many articles of common use
are so scarce as to be practically un-
obtainable. Even the upper class
homes have dispensed with servants.
1t has become general custom to
cook meals but once daily The food
thus prepared is placed on a buffet to
suffice for the day with their various
wartime occupations to go through a
formality in connection with their
sustainance.
Families which would otherwise be
destitute obtain small allowance
from the government limited to six
cents day for woman and two cents
day for each child.
All the cities and important build
ings are practically in ruins as re-
suit of the repeated Commandments
from the Austrian batteries in the
town of Semlin, just across the river.

CAbLECRAMS HELD Up
BY LONDON CENSOR

CHRISTIANIA, July 13.-The tele-
graph service between Norway and
the United States, which is limited to
the lines by way of England, has be-
come so unsatisfactory as to be d
matter of grave annoyance to Nor
wegian business. 1t sometimes takes
as much as week for the exchange
of messages by cable and sometimes
the cablegrams disappear altogether.
In addition to the delays caused by the
British censorship and the crowded
condition of transatlantic cacbles,
there is trouble because of the break
ing of two direct cables between Nor
way and England
The Norwegian Royal Telegraph De-
partment has been seeking guarantees
that the work of the cable repairship
should not be interfered with by the
German warships, but has been un-
successful. Through the courtesy of
the Great Northern Telegraph Com
pany in Copenhagen, the government
has been able to use cable via west
Jutland and Newcastle directly to
London but this has not relieved the
difficulties about which the Norwegian
business concerns complain.
