Ask No More Troops.
General Funston at San Antonio,
said today that Gen. Pershng has
made no request for additional troops
but his silence on that point was re-
garded by staff officers here as due
to his reluctance to present phase
of the situation that might be consld-
cred embarrassing rather than TO any
confidence he has in his ability to
conduct the campaign much longer
with the forces at his command.
May Send Troops.
Additional troops may be sent to
him, without asking for them, but if
not, Gen Funston will make repre-
sensations to the war department, eX-
planning the necessity for strengthen
ing the punitive expedition at the
first call from Gen. Pershing.
Amazed at Campaign,
Headquarters officials were frank
in their expressions of amaZement
that Gen. 1ershiHg has gone as far
as he has with the forces. and al
most hourly have expected word from
him that he dare not send further

Making Progress.
Marked progress toward solving
J the problem Of supplying Gen. Per-
shjng's columns and further eVidenc-
es of operation by CarranZa soldiers
in the pursuit of Villa were recorded
at Washington in today's otflclal re-
ports from Mexico and the border.
Rumors from several sources that
Villa had died Of blood poisoning and
press dispatches from Queretaro tell'
ing of an announcement by the de
facto governments war department
that it had reason to believe the ban
dit chief had been killed in action
we're the occasion OF much discussion
here.
Wished 20 Believe Report.
In some quarters there was dis
position to credit the report, but they
were without official confirmation
and both army officers and state de-
partment officials suggested that they
probably had been put out by Villas
friends as a ruSe.
Location Not Known. 80
At the state and war department
tonight it was admitted that Villas
exact location was not known and
that absolutely no news regarding
Gen. Pershing's operations had been
received for several days. The last
state department report regarding
whereabouts was that he was near
Parroll and headed south.
Use Mexican Railways.
Officials expressed great satisfac-
ton over the results accomplished by
the use of the Mexican railways in
forwarding supplies through private
shippers to Gen Pershins. Two train
loads We're reported to have left
JuareZ recently. Major Gen. Scott,
chief Of staff, said the transportation
situation was much improved and
that the troops now were apparently
being supplied abundantly.
Gen. Funston telegraphed chat a
satisfactory conference had been held
by Gen. Pershing and Gen. Herrera

Hiding.
Francisco Villa has left the main
body of his command and is hiding,
almost unattended, in the Sierra
mountains of Chihuahua, according TO
information given out at the war de-
partmenr ana received from Mexico
City today. The last of his retreat
ing forces passed through the town
of Cusihuiriachio, Chihuahua, yester-
day, in their flight toward the noun
tains. They were closely pursued by

the de factO Mexican troops which
have gathered on the Sonora Chihua-
hua border for the announced pur-
pose of guarding the mountain pass
es. is quoted by Mexican friends in
Aqua Prieta as having told them he
would enter Chihuahua this week at
the end Of cavalry detachment of
1000 men. Gomez is said to have
made this statement to several people
in the Sonora tdwn while he was
there for a short time to arrange for

Want Equalization School Fund.

Members of the State Legisla-
ture, particularly of the Senate,
have become very resolute in the
effort to have a readjustment or
fair equalization of the public
school funds of the State, ac-
cording to gossip around the cap
itol. A bill has already been in
troduced with this object in view,
and opposition to it has brought
about some maneuvering that
will very likely cause the oppo-
nents to come to terms.
Senators John A. Clarke, of
DeKalb, and E. S. Richardson,
of Philadelphia, are among those
who are putting up a determined
fight for the equalization. They
have even gone so far as to serve
notice on some of their colleagues
that unless they come across
a fight for a constitutional con-
vention will be waged and won.
The idea of a constitutional
convention is a scare that makes
some of the members of the
present legislature shiver, and ii
is said that these gentlemen are
beginning to sit up and take Sc
rious notice of the situation.
Senator Richardson has been
the champion of the public schools
all through the present session,
and there appears to be sufficient
strength on his side to force
some sort of adjustment of the
school distribution controversy.

The best exemplifcation Of pre-
paredness that we know of is the
farmer. His entire life is devoted
to preparedness in some form. He
prepares to feed his stock in the
winter by raising corn and har-
vesting hay in the summer; he
prepares to feed his family by
raising pigs and poultry and stor-
ing away peas and potatoes; he
hauls his frewood in the summer
to have it connenient for use in
the winter; he grows cotton to be
prepared to meet his obligations.
His life's endeavor to be prepared
for any eventuality. The thrifty
and provident man in other voca,
ti0ns does the same things-he
lives in condition of prepared.
ness. 1t is only when the individ-
ual is unprepared that he suffers.
The farmer may never face pow
erty, the provident man may
never face want, but it is noticed
that they never assume any risks
and never relax in an effort to
provide for the pIoverbial rainy
day and against the adversary of
old age.
We are told in the Good Book
that one must prepare to meet
death-about the only instance OF
preparedness that is generally dis
regarded.
If it is a good thing for the
farmer and the artisan, the state
and the municipality, to live in a
state of preparedness, why should
it not be a good thing for the ma

The Yellow Streak.

Swiftly succeeding events may
soon obscure in our memories
the congressional demonstration
against the President on a criti-
cal question of foreign policy last
week; and. on that account, it
may be the more necessary to
record the present impression
that the most alarming feature
of the "1evolt" was the disclos-
ure of a structural weakness of
the Democratic party for respon-
sible government in times like
these.
The Presidents grip was evi-

serious damage to the Demo-

asses of the political desert the

such as shattered the second ad-

incoherence and hysteria Repub,,

The Fragrance of Conte mt.

The most fortunate being on
earth, who has friends and wealth
and quiet and a good digestion,
can find plenty of sources of
trouble if he hunts for them,
says an exchange. In the words
of the cynical French writer,
"A man who has ten needs is not
happy when nine of them are
satisfied" That is perfectly
true, and not even nine of them
ever are satisfied. The secret is
to learn to fix your thoughts on
the satisfied ones, and not be for
ever brooding on the reluctant
shadow of t h at unattainable
tenth.
There is, indeed, a fatuous
optimism that disgusts. People
who are always laboriously turn
ing up the little silver lining of
big black clouds are wearisome,
especially when the black clouds
are not theirs, but yours. Also,
it may well be urged that discon-
tent is the root of all great &C.
complishment. Persons who
easily find good in everything
and who seem to be always liv'
ing in sunshine are not too like
ly to bestir themselves to better
their own lot or that of others.
Probably the ideal temperament
would be that suggested by

The value of a quiet, content

beyond itself. We live in an age

Perhaps that is true of all ages,
but it seems especially true of

BRICKBATS FOR jim

In former years it was quite
popular to say that this paper
was quite unkind in its criticisms
of Senator Vardaman, says the
Jackson News. Perhaps we were,
but the Daily News never parted
from the truth in dealing with
our junior Senator, and the un-
kind things we may have said in
the past are mild indeed when
compared with the things now
being said by other newspapers.
Here is an example from yester-
davis issue of the Birmingham
News. a paper that was much
pleased when Vardaman was
elected to the Senate five years
ago:
Vardaman is a queer cuss. He
seems hardly to know what he
means himself; as if he were
feeling his way, on unsafe
ground, as indeed he is.
Thursday he attacked Congress
for being as sheep, for being led
as lambs to a sacrifice of princi-
pies. II am wiling" he said,
Ito concede the President thinks
he is vested with the power he
arogates to himself, but ! am
unwilling to delegate to the Pres
ident or to anyone else the right
to perform a duty for me which
means so much to the American
people as the subject under con-
sideration EARNED ships.) The
President has written some good
books, but | do not think he has
a corner on all the wisdom of the
universe. nor is he more patriotic
than the Congress which shares
with him the responsibilities of
the government"
No, the President has no cor
ner on all the wisdom, and none
knows that better than he. His
hair may not be so long as the
Mississippi Senator's. his voice
NAV not have the shouting quail
ty of the gentleman from Mis-
sissippi, and his patriotism may
not be greater than his. nor his
brains bulge bigger, but he has
q happy knack Of using ais brains
and patriotism in a sort of team
play that gets things done, sensi-
bly and wisely. That is a result
which the Senator from Missis-
sippi has never been able to
achieve.
And here is another brickbat
hurled from the editorial sane
tum of the St. Louis Star:
Senator Vardaman says the
country is going to the dogs be-
cause President Wilson is domi-
mating Congress. 1t is not fa1
cry to the time when Mississippi
was on the road to the dogs when
Vardaman was dominating it.

C. G. Peters Dead

Saturday night, March IL, 1916,
while driving home from Macon, Nc.
c. R. Peters was stricken with what is
generally termed heart failure and
died very suddenly. A greater shock
could not have come to the people OF
Mashulaville and surrounding country.
Mr.. Peters left his room at the Agri-
cultural High School about 6 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon and drove out to
Macon to attend to personal matters of
business.
While in Macon he suffered a slight
attack of rapid beating of the heart.
He had never suffered such trouble be-
fore, and, believing himself to be abso-
lutely we'll and strong, gave no serious
thought to his trouble.
While driving home during the night
with his brother. Frank Peters, he
suffered a second attack, which proved
fatal.
In attempting to eulogize this noble
young man / feel an unftness to do
Justice to his life because of the mad
equacy of my word to express my
thoughts. However, if intimate asso-
citation reveals man to man, then l am
ideally qualified to speak, in my own
way, of his life character and ambi-
tions.
A cleaner, purer life has never been
spent by man of twenty-five years.
l was in position to know his every
thought and see his every action, and
his conversation was always of the
nature of that common in the most re-
fined of society. As friend, he was
noble and sincere; as a companion,
honest and true; as christian, deyout,
always ready to serve. and as a citi-
zen, a leader, thinker and believer
in justice to his fellowman.
The character of Glenn Peters will
be felt in the life of young and old
alike in this section. He was a teacher
of young men and young women in the
Sunday school. Here he planted seed
that will bring forth fruit in season.
He held a position of honor and re-
sponsibility in the Agricultural High
School, that of Professor of Agriculture
and Director of Extension Work. On
the school campus he was a living ex-
ample to the young men of what can
be done with an opportunity. He was
thoroughly interested in his extension
work ara, woalttspend days away from
bis school work out among farmels of
this section, advising them about their
crops, stock and orchards.
The school, the community and his
many friends everywhere feel a great
loss, but our loss is his gain, for his
ambition and motto was:
$50 live that when thy summons comes
to join
T ne innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each
shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry slave at
night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but. sustain
ed and soothed
BY an unfaltering trust, approach thy
grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his
couch
About him and lies down to pleasant
dreams"
No greater consolation can we get in
our grief for our friend than that
"The light of smiles shall fill again
The lids that overflow with tears
And weary hours of woe and pain,
Are promises of happier years.
HIS ROOMMATE.
