Burglars lR0ospNQ
- Offices NJ QUE
ROBBERS ACTIVE ALONG MIssls-
sIPPI CENTRAL-GET WHiS-
KEY AND COIN.

Burglars broke into the offices OF
the Southern Express Company on the
Mississippi Central at Epley, Lamar
county, and Bassfield, Jefferson Davis
county, Saturday night, wreaked hav-
oc in the ofrices, and made their get
away, taking with them but little
money and property.
Officials of the company today are
trying to get some clue OF the burg
lars. Until a late hour, they had been
unsuccessful. Epley is eleven miles
from Hattiesburg, while Bassfield is
few stations beyond Epley.
At Epley, the ticket case was brok-
en- open, tickets to all points scattered
about over the office, and a package
of whiskey broken into. The burglar
opened one of the bottles, took few
drinks. and carefully replaced the
cork. 1t is supposed that they were
frightened away after this before they
could further Investigate as to the
contents Of the Office. They broke
open the cash drawer, but found moth
ing.
They were a little more successful
at Bassfield, where they found a few
dollars in change in the cash draw
err They pried into several express
packages, but found nothing to thei
liking, and departed. Discovery OF thu
thefts was made yesterday morning

viii Not A djourn
Circuit Court For
!slR'ssh6IG !
JUDGE JOHNSON SAYS 1epGe
BINDERS MUST NOT USE
STATES TIME.

Some sad news for the candidates
for state offices was handed out today
by Judge Paul B. Johnson. the new
circuit Judge of the Twelfth district,
who was given the oath Of office at
the Forrest County Court House to-
day.
81 will not adjourn any of my courts
while they are in session to permit
the attendants, persons interested in
cases on trial, and the audience In
general to hear political speech
es," Judge Johnson said. Il do not
thing 1t right to adjourn court terms
or grant recesses to allow the various
candidates to address crowds assem-
bled on court business. No aspirant to
office has a right to interrupt the
wheels of justice or consume the time
of the court, when the expenses there
of is being betrayed by the tax payers,
81 am perfectly willing to do what
ever | can to assist the various candi
dates in getting together crowds after
the court sessions have adjourned fol
the day. But in no other way will
permit the time of the commonwealth
to be used in this way"
Whether other circuit judges will
adopt this policy remains to be seen
It is explained that in the past, circui
court gatherings have been the princi
pal places where candidates hav
made their pleas to the populace, an
this has been the chief method of col
railing the voters. Judge Johnson say
It has cost the state a lot of none,
and he refuses to be party to II
continuance.

MARKS new ERA
IN IOCAL FARMING
Drains Land In Wet Weather, Moist
tens It in Dry-cost Surprisingly
smalI-1oo Acres of Land Can be
Tiled For So Per Acre.

A new era in Forrest county farm
ing was marked today when d. EN-
NETT McInnis received car load OF
thing for his farm near the Normal
College. 1t is the first thing to be
used in draining farm land ever
brought into the county.
The car contains $500 feet of thing,
about six inches in diameter. 1t is
the same kind of thing that has been
used for several years throughout the
middle west and also in Northern Mis-
sissippi during the past few years.
The thing serves not only to drain the
land in wet weather but to provide
moisture in dry weather.
Mr.. McInnis bought the tiling after
extensive investigation of it's uses In
other sections, and the cost OF tiling
the land was found to be surprisingly
small. The car load received this
morning, for instance, cost only about
500 and is sufficient to tile 100 acres
Of land. The labor to dig the bitches
and insert the thing, Mr. Mclnnis esti
mates, will cost about twice as mucf
as the thing itself, SO that the tina
cost of thing the land will be abou
three dollars an acre.
Cost Surprisingly Low.
This figure is, however. really to-
high, for although only 100 acres o
his land will actually be tiled, tn
; benefits of the innovation will be fel
by at least 300 acres. Figuring on thi
sis. the cost of draining South Mis-

Washington, Jan. 4.-Representative
B. P. Harrison, of Mississippi, today
announced that he would continue to
head the opposition before the State
Department to the action Of Great
Britain against placing naval stores on
the contraband list.
Swamped with letters from Missis-
sippi naval stores producers, Mr.. Har-
rison already has appeared before the
State Department to urge those off
cials to expedite action on its recent
protest to England against such
step. Acting Secretary Lansing told
| the Mississippi Congressman he would
do what he could in the matter.
1.-The South is extremely hard hit
by Great Britain's ruling" the latter
said.
While no word came from Ambas-
sador Page today as to the character
of the reply Great Britain will make
to the American protest against inter
ference with American trade, there
were several developments in the gen
eral shipping situation.
The United States asked Great Brit
, ain for information as to how the Brit

CALLS PEACE
 MEN POLTROONS
ROOSEVELT SPEAKS TO GREAT CROWDS AT PLATTSBURG
 ON THE WAR.

PLATTSBURG, August 26,-To large crowds here last evening Theodore Roosevelt declared, in speaking of the war and the attitude of the United States towards it, that elocution is of too little purpose un- less backed by deeds. When warmed to his subject he gave voice to the opinion that pacifcists are nothing but poltroons and are contributing to the nations dishonor in the surest way. The easiest way, he said, to in- vite disaster is for nation to be rich and aggressive but still unarmed He expressed the willingness to stand by the president if the president stands by the country but he suggested that the present policy of the administration frightful results. During the course of his speech he touched on the German sympathizers in the United States and committed himself to the statement that leading and pro- fessional German-Americans are seri- ously near committing treason to this country by their expressions and actions.

REMINGTON ARMS WALKOUT OCCURS 1T LAST AND MANY
 FACTORIES CLOSE DOWN.

BRIDGEPORT, August 26,-The great strike in the Remington Arms factories has commenced at last after long threatening and ten thousand men have laid down their tools and quit work. Six other industries, whose employees are willing to con tinue working, have been tied up by the strike so that the total number of men who will be rendered idle by the strike will be far greater than the number directly employed by the Remington company itself. The strikers asked for an increase of wages and also for an eight-hour day but the company refused point blank to consider both demands. The state ment formerly made that the men were being influenced by Germans is still given credence.

BROWNSVILLE, August 26.- Mexicans opened fire on the Ameri- can troopers across the river near Santa Maria last night and the Ameri cans returned the fire. The skirmish was maintained for two hours before the firing died away. Two horses were wounded on the American side but no injury was received by any of the men. One hundred Mexicans crossed the Rio Grande near Rio Grande City last night also and are still in American territory with a squadron of United States troopers in pursuit. The bands that cross from time to time usually disappear before being caught up and it is not doubted that they have mostly return ed to their own country.

August 26-The main BreSt-IitOvSk fort ress the base of the Russian field armies has been cap tured by General von Mackensen The AuStrans coop eraed with our forces in the taking of the place and ad yanced from the south while troops closing in from the north and west It was the main position to which the Russians fell back after the evacuation of War saw and great hopes had been placed by them on the strength of the place. The capture straightens the German line from north south and this line will be com peed perfectly with the capture of BieIostock Military leaders believe that the taking of the railroad at the latter point will mean that we can shift troops east fast that the Russians still operating around Wilma and in the country south of Riga will be compelled to retreat to avoid a dangerous flank movement
