Machpelah Cemetery.

Macnpeldn cemetery.
For years, the general condi-
tion of Machpelah Cemetery has
been a matter of regret and
shame to the people Of LeXing-
ton. Strangers have come, look
ed and wondered. Many lots are
cared for, a few made beautiful;
but with children making of it
a playground and chickens feed
ing undisturbed, graves have
been desecrated, rare flowers
ruined and the owners of lots
discouraged in their efforts to
improve. Moreover the great
number of lots uncared for give
the whole place a ragged and un-
kept appearance. Various plans
have been suggested for i'm
provement, but none have hith-
erto materialized. A movement
is now on foot that will accom-
plish what has long been desired
by those whose loved ones rest
in this great city Of the dead. A
committee of ladies from the
Civic League Department of the
Woman's Club and the owners
of Machpelah have had several
meetings, and are effecting a
permanent organization, to take
charge Of, and beautify the
cemetery. One of the first
things planned is to appoint q
day, due notice of which will be
given, on which every one in.
terested will be expected to gC
out and help clean up. Later
!. whether you happen to be pu-
! on a committee or not, you arr
! requested to keep this move
ment in mind, and to do all yol
can to further it. Thus tn,
cemetery will soon be a plac,
where you can visit your dead
feeling the benediction of it

NO CAR SHORTAGE
FOR LUMBER HERE
INTERIOR POINTS ARE SUFFER
ING, AND CONGESTION IN
EAST is SERIOUS.

Hattiesburg lumbermen apparently
are not suffering because of a short
age in cars.
This is due, it is said, to the fact
that most of the cotton from Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana, sent in to
New Orleans for trans-shipment, is be-
ing carried to New York by steamers.
Car shortage, according to dis
patches from Little Rock and interior
points, is becoming a serious PROPOSE
tion and is interfering with the move
ment of cotton and lumber. The con-
dition is so serious that Little Rock
shippers have protested to the Inter
state Commerce Commission in the
hope of securing immediate relief.
The most serious congestion is at
New York, Philadelphia and Boston,
where, it is declared, shipments, other
than those comprising ammunition for
the European nations are held up and
side-tracked for indefinite periods.
Local shippers, however, have no com
plant to make because they are able
| to get all of the cars for lumber ship
ments they want.
The following Associated Press dis
patch received clearly explains the
situation at Little. Rock:
Announcement was made at the OF
fees of several railroads here today
that no more cotton would be accept
ed for shipment to points on the Bos
ton and Albany, Boston and Maine ant
New York New Haven and Hartford
railroads. Freight congestion in thu
East was assigned as the cause of thu
embargo. Local cotton shippers hav'
protested to the Interstate Commerce

SENATORS CLASH ON
TRADE interference

Washington, Jan. 21.-Discussion OF
Great Britain's interference with the
cotton trade led TO spectacular clash
in the Senate yesterday, in which
three Southern members took leading
parts. Senator Hoke Smith, OF Geor-
gia. denounced England in the strong
est language and accused the United
States of making possible the starving
of German babies. Senator Williams,
of Mississippi, took issue with Mr.
Smith, largely on the ground, he sald
that the attitude of the senator from
Georgia might not be understood as
representing the view of any consld'
erable portion of the people Of the
South. Senator Vardaman contended
that all writer's on international law
sustain the stand taken by Senator
Smith. He declared murder would fol

to ascertain the wishes Of the people /
regarding the holding of a constitu-
tional convention. His idea is to have
the Governor issue proclamation
calling an election in thirty days to
fnd out if the people want it, and then
for the lawmakers to act in accord,
ance with these wishes.
In the Senate, bills to abolish capital
punishment in the state were intro
duced. These would change the eX-
treme penalty in such cases to life i'm
prisonment.
The Senate passed, without dissent,
a bill to prevent the railroading of per-
sons arrested and placed in Jail for al
legged misdemeanors, to county farms
without giving them an opportunity
to see counsel or friends in order to
make bail.
The Graves bill to curb officers ol
agents of negro fraternal orders IN
their activities against their members
was called up again, and provoked pro
llonged discussion.
