MISSISSIPPI n. G. RECRUITING
CONTINUES.

Major O'Ferrall Advises That a False
Impression Prevails.
Major w. G. O'Ferlall, the senior
recruiting officer Of the State of Mis-
s.ssippi, who has been stationed in
this city for the past three months,
| advises that since the Mississippi
Regiment composed Of 1900 men en-
trained for the border on Oct. 18th,
a false impression appears to prevail
in certain sections Of the State that
National Guard recruiting would be
discontinued and that such reports are
Liable TO retard the work.
Major OFerrall is in charge Of the
recruiting station at Greenwood and
his Jurisdiction extends over the sta
ton at Hattiesburg and Tupelo, which
cover the entire State. Five hundred
$500 more men are wanted immedi-
ately and recruiting officers will be
sent out from these stations to visit
all the important towns. Major o.
Farrall and enlisted men have re-
vruited nearly one hundred (100) men
at Greenwood within the past three
months all Of whom have been sent
to the front.

The Mississippi Regiment, which
left Camp Swep Taylor, Jackson, in
three divisions over the Illinois Gen.
tral railroad Oh Oct. 18th, has been
the recipient Of much praise from the
public and from the officers on the
border. The Illinois Central railroad
did themselves proud in handling the
trains. The wagons and field equip
ment were placed next To the engine,
then came the kitchen cars painted
olive drab, and letters white, which
we're especially constructed for the
service. Regular Pullman sleepers
completed the convenience of the en-
trained troops.
In our interview with Major O'Fer-
rail- he became enthusiastic about the
possibilities Of soldier life. He is en-
pl.atic in his assertion that young men
q secure military training and edu-
cation with the army that it would
take years in college and hundreds of
dollars to secure. "Thc climatic con-
ditions along the border and in North
ern Mexico make it an ideal place to
spend the winter said the Major.
Coming in contact with the Mexi-
cans and learning to speak their Ian
guage, familiarizing oneself with the
habits and conditions of the people is
a great education in ITSELF"
The recruits are paid a salary from
the time they are accepted, also their
transportation, board and lodging and
wearing apparel are furnished free.
Now is the time for young men to
enlist to see real soldier life on the
border. 1t is a great opportunity to
see the Western country, get a mill
tary, as we'll as all educational train
ing, and at the same time make money
and start in life.

in this rat hole. Why can't Legar get
back here where he belongs and do his
own stickup work?"
Il tell you the docs up to the Col
den house maxim his haul when the
coasts clear. And If you wake that
king there you'll have to cut out the
red-eye and keep busy chokin' of his
holler!"
Manley could hear their shutting
feet as they recrossed the rough floor
ing and then the scrape and rasp Of
the rusty lock, as they once more
turned the key in the door. But the
moment they were gone he was once
more busy with the cotton rope about
his wrists. for what he had overheard
increased his passion for liberty.
When a man, however, is still youth
fully blind enough to believe in his
start. to nurse the delusion that some
special genius has singled him out and
watches over him, he is not easily dis
couraged. Yet discouragement came,
and came in a form most unexpected.
even before Manley's hands were free.
1t came, in fact, in the form Of a
green-bodied parrot creeping stealthily
through the rusty cross-bars grilling
the transom above the locked door.
He watched the bird slip into the
room. climb along the rusty iron gas
jet. deliberately turn 1t on.
Manley knew what this meant, and
1t spurred him to even more frantic
efforts to saw through the cords, still
holding him prisoner, for already
the fumes of the escaping gas were
reaching his nostrils.
When one strand of it had parted
and he had uncoiled the rest Of it from
his ankles, his head was swimming
and his legs were unable to support
him. So he crossed the room on his
| hands and knees. caught at the rusty
gas pipe for support and painfully
| drew himself upright His trembling
hand went out. found the gas Jet, and
turned it off, And the next moment
he fell face down on the rough floor
and lay there in gray daze of weak
ness.
How long he lay there he could not
tell But he was aroused by the sound
Tensas gazette., 1916-12-01

of thick voices from the outer cham
ber, punctuated by the shrill cries OF
an angry and scolding woman. He
pulled himself together and possessed
himself Of the brick bat, as a weapon.
Then staggering across to the smolder-
ing lamp, he blew 1t out. His hand
was still on the shank Of that lamp
when the sound of the key being turned
in the door lock came to his ears. He
stood in the darkness. waiting for the
door to open. 4.
He waited, scarcely breathing. as
the door was flung open. So quick.
however, was the entrance of the first
intruder that Manley could not lift his
missile before the darkness had swal-
lowed up that shifting shadow. But
standing in the lighted doorway was a
second man, crouched low and leaning
forward with blinking eyes, a blue-bar-
relied navy revolver in his hand. Man.
ley, eying that evil face as sharp
shooter eyes his target, let fly with his
poised brick. and let fly with all his
force.
The STOPPING man went down like a
clouted rabbit, without a sound. But
even as he fell the first intruder. at
the far end of the room. struck a
match. And at that second figure
Manley let drive with the only missile
at hand.
The heavy glass lamp, hurled true,
sent man and match against the case
side in a shower of oil and broken
glass. But Manley did not wait to wit
ness the result of that second assault.
He leaped for the door, caught up the
blue-barreled revolver from the hand
of the stunned man on the threshold.
and drove for the heavier door at the
end of the outer chamber.
But this door he found to be locked.
He was on the point of starting back
in search Of a timber heavy enough to
batter down that barrier when all
movement was arrested by an uproar
of sound that fairly drove the breath
from his body. For the shower of oil
that fell about the lighted match at
the vaulted end of the side chamber
had sunk into the litter of rubbish
beside the powder cases, had burst in
to flames and had crept closer about
those wooden cases until the licking
tongues of heat had reached the explo-
sive.
Yet even as Manley stood there,
fighting for breath, a second surprise
both confronted and engulfed him.
Following close on that telltale roar
of sound came an even more bewilder-
ing rush Of water. tearing through the
low-roofed cellar like a thousand
hounds let loose. And he knew then
that the explosion had broken down
the walls between him and the East
river at high tide.
He leaped in the direction Of the
door, in the hope of getting it closed.
He was still struggling frantically
at this door when a heard a voice,
and at first he thought it was a human
voice. crying shrilly through the
gloom.
Let me OUT" was the frantic cry
close above him. Let me out!" Crop
