TOXIC, Feb. 24.-That it is now
only a question of time until the con-
summation of the much-talked-of
Russo-Japanese alliance, is the belief
of persons closely in touch with dip
lomatic circles, who say that the al
lance has been decided upon and will
be announced in the near future. The
decision of the japanese emperor to
send Prince Kanin to Petrograd, thus
returning the recent visit of the
Cars special envoy, is looked on as
strong proof of the alliance.

Hattiesburg wagerers, though posi-

Stockholders are awaiting instruc-

already are paid off. One wager that

This is the opinion of the Forrest

Hattiesburg are now being hit in their

state which they reach, until recent
ly they have felt the pinch only SO

dollars. bet on the Presidential cleo
tion are held up in the hands of stake
holders, and will remain out of circu-
lation until the fact is established be-
yond possibility of reversal that Pres
ident Wilson has been reelected.
How long that may bel depends
largely upon the final count Of the
vote in Minnesota and other states
still in doubt.
Stockholders generally declared that
there would be no payments until the
outcome of the election had been def
nitely established and to the satisfac-
tion of all parties. Several of the
largest holders went SO far as to sug-
gest that it might be unwise to pay
off the bets until after the Electoral
College meets in January, and some
even decided to wait that long.
Many small bets laid between indi
viduals were paid off today through
signed agreements releasing the stake
holder from liability.

Of $4,000 worth of road bonds in two

Following this course, it is believed
that the other beats in the county
through which the Dixie Highway. the

will take some steps toward connect
ing up with the roads in the districts
which propose issuing bonds.
Some opposition to the bond issue

has been expressed. The Board of

here last week, considered the matter
from every angle, and it is believed

will be finally settled, those opposing
the proposition, Or majority Of them,
at least, will be converted to the

The question Of having blanket
issue OF road bonds for 100000 OF
more, was taken up at the recent meet
ing of the board, but Beats 1 and 2
objected to this, saying that few
years ago these beats asked the rest
of the county to join in such a'moye
ment, which was refused, and the
districts in question then issued beat
bonds, paying for thcm themselves.
