Thompson Seton, naturalist and writer
of books on nature. today announced
his recognition as chief scout OF the
Boy Scouts of America. In a state
ment explaining his action, Mr.. Seton
said he resigned because of a gradual
change to policies to which he is op-
posed and for which he blames James

Militarism now comes first and
wood-craft, the original purpose of the
movement, second. according to Mr..
Seton. who announced the formation
of the Woodcrafts league, inviting
members OF the boy scouts to join il.
When Baden-Powell and l organ

purpose was TO make all young people
of the two countries outdoor children
by teaching them the joys of outdoor
life. AS originally formed, the scouts
of America were to bear a message Of
conservation and brotherhood.
The study of trees, flowers and ma
ture." he continued, lis giving way to
wigwaggine drills and other activities
OF a military nature. thus destroying
the original aims of the organization.
AS ii stands now militarism comes
first and wood craft second"
Mr.. Seton explained that he seveT~i
his connection with the movement last
spring. but deferred announcement of

Woman Kills Deer

Mrs. w. H. Stokes enjoys a distinction of which a number of our sportsmen would like to boast. She, in company with, her husband, went deer hunting north of Fair Oaks recently and, although it was her first, she killed a large doe which dressed 82 pounds. She used a No. 12 shotgun and says that she likes the sport fine and wants to go again. The deer was about 30 yards from her and she fired only one shot to get the coveted game.

Loman Pollett Stabbed

The many friends of Loman E. Pollett of Hickory Ridge will be sorry to learn that he received a dangerous wound by being stab bed just above the heart on Dec. z. His assailant, Will Ball, will have preliminary trial Jan. 10, at Wynne should Loman be able to attend.
 The trouble arose, we learn, over the judges of the primary election held in Cross county Dec. 7, refusing to let Balls brother vote. Pollett served as one of the clerks in the election and when Ball went to Pollett 6 Sons store on the night of the above date some words were ex- changed and trouble between he and Pollett ensued whereupon he stabbed Pollett.
 Pollett has been in the hospital at Jonesboro in a dangerous con- dition and it is thought that the blade was broken off in his body. Doctors W. E. and Ewell Pollett father and brother of the wound- ed man are contemplating taking him to Memphis for an x-ray ex- animation.
 It was reported here Tuesday that Loman had succumbed to his wound Monday afternoon, but we have letter from his father, in answer to a telegram, stating that his son is doiug fairly well and that he no doubt will recover. His many friends here will be glad to learn that the report was false and all join us in wishing for him speedy and permanent recovery.

The prettiest and most elaborate home wedding ever witnessed in this city took place Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Dec. 29, 1915. at the home of MT. and Mrs. J. F. Morgan when their daughter, Miss Jamie Schupp, became the bride of Mir. Turner J. Fakes.

 Miss Ellen Lewis presided at the piano and rendered "'To a Wild Rose" by Mcdowell. Preceding the ceremony Miss Della Jeffries sang, 70 Promise Me" {" The decorative appointments were elaborate. The diningroom, par Tor and library were done in holly, white roses, carnations and ferns. The bride and groom entered unattended and as they approached the pretty white altar which was trimmed with white ribbon, tulle, carnations and ferns they were met by the officiating ministers. Overhead was suspended a large white wedding bell with white stream CTS extending to the corners of the room. The color scheme, green and white was carried into effect throughout the entire home. Just to the rear of the altar the walls were entirely cov- cred with holly with back ground of white.
 The bride held a large boquet of brides roses and was decidedl- beautiful in her going-a-way gown of blue broadcloth with ac- cessories to match. She is one of McCrory's most popular young people and well deserves the prize she has won. MT.

 WASHINGTON, May 6.-New com from which the British navy draws much of it's fuel, appeared in dis patches saying that the Villa forces are now in control of practically all the producing points while Carranza continued to hold the outlet at Tam pico ard TuXpam.
 British embassy officials are seri- ously concerned over the situation in the Mexican oil fields, on which the British navy depends for a large quantity of fuel oil. Assurances have reached the State department from Tampico that no foreign owned wells damaged at Panuco, recently captured by the Villa forces. This has served to relieve one source of worry at the British embassy, but officials fear delays, and possibly an attempt to double taxation may result from the fact that the Villa troops have con trol of the wells, with the gulf term inaIs still in the hands of Carranza.

Japan Won't Accede.

PEKING, (Friday) May 7.-The Japanese legation has informed the Chinese foreign office that Japan would be unable to accept the further conces- sions offered Thursday by China and would present an ultimatum before 3 o'clock Friday afternoon unless the 24 demands are accepted by China without qualification.
 The Japanese legation continued its effort yesterday to persuade the Chi nese government to concede to Japan's demands without the necessity of serv ing upon China the ultimatum of the Japanese government, which was re ceived early yesterday morning. It is said the Chinese government has re- solved to communicate with the United States, Great Britain, Russia and France on receipt of the ultimatum and that the nature of the communication depends on the nature of the ultima tum.
 The secretary of the Japanese lega- tion visited the foreign office and in- formed Vice Minister Tsao Yulin that the legation had received the ultima tum and that it would be presented unless China agreed to Jajans demands before evening. Tsao Yulin immedi- ately visited the Winter Palace, the residence of Yuan Shi Kai. and after a conference with the executive and other members of the government con veyed to the Japanese legation the fol- lowing further concession: China re- iterated regarding shan Tung province that she would grant Japan everything that had already been granted to Ger many there by treaty. China agreed to grant Japan the right to work the mines in south Manchuria and Eastern Mongolia; that all disputes between Japan in Manchuria of whatever na- ture would be under Japanese juris- diction; that schools and hospitals may lease land from the Chinese; thereby reserving land ownership: to grant a concession to Japan to build the Nan S-Chac-Chow- railway if Japan consents to release China from nego-
