Paden, Miss.
Jan. 18th, 1916.
This is not a letter but series
of questions. Several questions
would like very much to hav,
answered by someone who is il
position to know.
First-Why are our roads O.
the fourth district so very mucl
worse than the roads of the frs
district, or the roads of Prentis
County? Rural carriers leaving
Paden P. O. say that they can tell
to the foot almost, where the
Prentiss line crosses the road
Now, why is this, as we have tn
same road law that they have
Two men went from here to Iuka
yesterday, and reported that tn,
roads in the First District were a
least nine times better than tn,
roads of the Fourth. Why is this
Two r. F. D, men from Padei
P. o. told me that they would b,
willing to make oath that the road.
were worse now than they were
before the contract system came in
force. Why is this?
Another question that has
bothered me is this: Can VIC
collect debt by criminal law
If we can't, when a man fails t.
pay his road tax is he fined for Z
misdemeaner, or is the $500 road
tax collected by process o.
criminal law? Or is he just fnec
for a misdemeaner and his roac
tax still unpaid?.
Now, | am asking these ques.
tons for information only, ant
would like very much for some
one to answer them.

ASSIGNMENT OF BISHOPS OF
KEEN INTEREST TO METHODISTs

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, May 2
Just where the bishops will be as
signed for the next four years is a
subject of keen interest at the quad
lennial session of the Methodist Gen
eral Conference here today.
Interest centers about who will be
sent to Washington as success or to
Bishop Cranston. Washington and
New York are the most desired To-
cations.
1t is believed the Washington plum
will go either to Bishop Luther B.
Wilson of New York or Bishop Will
ham Fraser Mcdowell of Chicago.
Bishop Wilson, however, may be re-
turned to New York, where he has
accomplished so much for Methodism
and Bishop Mcdowell may go tc
Washington. DR.. Mcdowell is vice
chancellor of the Methodist university
at the capital and he is a close frient
Of Bishop Cranston.
If Bishop Wilson is not returned t.
New York, the next incumbent likely
will be Bishop Mcdowell or Bishoy
frank J. Mcconnell, now resident il
Denver. DR.. Mcconnell was conse
Grated only four years ago. Unit
then he was pastor of New York Ave

Ship Crew Goes Mad.

Halifax, n. S., May 2.--The fate of
the captain and crew of the British
steamer Suffolk, caught in the ice in
the White sea while On her way to
Archangel shortly before Christmas,
with details of suffering from cold,
hunger and exposure resulting in the
death of all but three men of crew
of 27, and the suicide of the ships
captain, who, maddened by hunger and
cold, shot himself-were related here
today by sailors of the Newfoundland
steamer Bellaventure, just in from
Archangel w.
The crew of the Bellaventure, which
has been in Russian waters more than
year, met and talked with the three
survivors, only one of whom "a Rus
sian Finn, was physically able to re-
jcount his adventures.
The other two were not expected to
recover. The Suffolk, supposedly hav-
ing a cargo of war supplies, was
caught in the ice Of the White sea
with the first heavy freeze before the
holidays.
Heavy weather followed and final
ly not only food, but fuel, was exhaust
ed. The suffering caused many of the
men to lose their minds and while in
this state they succumbed.
The ships captain, crazed by the
suffering of his men, whom he was
unable to aid, and himself exhausted
and worn, committed suicide.
When only ten survivors remained
they decided to reach land on foot
Taking the scanty provisions remain
ing, they set forth on an eight-milt
tramp across the ice.
| A heavy blizzard set in and thu
party soon became scattered and lost
Only three were able to stick togeth
or and after days of wandering they
were found by the crew of British
