HIGHWAY BOOSTER
DELIVERS ADDRESS
MALCOLM M'kINNON, OF
ILLINOIS, SPEAKS AT
LOCAL CHAMBER.
OUTLINES PLANS
FOR NEW HIGHWAY
Says This Section Is Ahead of
Some Northern States in
Road Construction.

In an address which he delivered at
the Chamber of Commerce of Colum-
bus and Lowndes County last Thurs
day afternoon Malcom MeKinnon, OF
Rockford, ILL.,, secretary of the Merid-
ian Highway Association, paid a high
compliment to Mississippi, having de-
clared that she was ahead of many
northern state in good road con.
construction and having stated that
he had found in this immediate sec
ton some roads that would compare
favorably with any which he has seen
in his travels, which have extended
from one end of the country to the
other.
Promoters of the Meridian High
way propose to construct a magnifi-
cent thoroughfare from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and
Mr.. McKinnon is going over the pro-
posed route for the purpose of ineit-
ing interest in the undertaking. The
route traverses the state of Missis-
sippi from north to south, taking in
Columbus, Meridian and numerous
other cities, and the secretary of the
association visited this city for the
purpose of placing the matter before
local good roads boosters with the
view of securing their cooperation
and aid in the. work
While the Meridian Highway ha.
no official connection with the Jack.
son Highway, it will, in its meander
ings through the state of Mississippi
partially follow the path of the trail
which commentaries the valorous
deeds of "Old Hickory" the routes OF
the two highways between Columns
and Meridian being practically thC
same. This fact serves as materia
aid to the scheme, as the Jackson
Highway has already been construct
ed, and small amount of additiona
work will place Columbus and hel
sister cities in Mississippi on two
great thoroughfares.
The meeting Thursday Afternoon
was presided over by Mr.. S. B. Street
Jr., president of the Chamber o.
Commerce, and Mr.. McKinnon wa
introduced by Mr.. V. B. lines, busi
ness manager Of the Columbus Dis
patch.

States be reaffirmed; that such ac-
ton was necessary to make certain
that the rights of Germans in this
country, guaranteed under those
treaties, be made secure. 1t was re-
iterated that the American govern
ment fully intends acting according
to the spirit of the treaties. While
the treaty actually was abrogated by
passage of the seamen's law with a
conflicting section, the government
here looks upon the pact as at least
furnishing the guiding principle un-
der which it will act.
The administration is understood
to be highly gratified by the action
taken by many of the neutrals in pro
testing with varying degrees Of. firm
ness against Gerinanys new subma-
rine policy. While none has so far
followed the lead and suggestion OF
the United States by breaking oil
diplomatic relations, nevertheless the
expression of sentiment was said tC
be the chief object desired by Presi
dent Wilson in suggesting action t
them.
There were no sensations to dis
turb the capital today. Preparation
went on with quiet thoroughness TO
all eventualities. Within shor
time, perhaps a few days, official
fear that Germany will take the step
which will make these preparation
essential. There is no expectation
here that she will modify her plan
or relent sufficiently in her executio
of them to allow even the presen
dangerous situation to continue. /
sense officials feel that every sui
marine commander virtually has bee
entrusted with a declaration of wa
against this country.

Birmingham, town Of fewer than
1000 inhabitants, was the place
which Mr. Percy, as a young lawyer
sought to identify himself. As a
young man Of 90 years, he started
the practice Of law in this city, From
the outset ne was a success, for he
evinced at that time the characters
tic fearless stand for what he con-
sidered right and the keen know
ledge Of the law.
On April II, 1888, he was mar
ried to Miss Mary Pratt DeBardele-
ben.
His fortunes as a lawyer swelled
as time progressed. He became iden-
titled with Judge William Grub
about 1900 and was a member of the
firm of Percy & Grub for several
years. Soon sfterward he became
associated with Augustus Benners.
Two years later Borden Burr was ad-
mitted to the firm, which has since
been known as Percy, Benners &
Burr.

"a genuine treat in the way of
amusement, and quite diversion
for the tired business man, also wom-
en- and children was afforded all who
visited the opera house last night,
where the Price Bonnelli Minstrels
was the attraction. The company
fully lived up to all claims made by
the advance agent. "A Jockeys
Dream" a musical fantasy, was the
first part offering, and proved to be
derby winner indeed, and an ex-
cellent vehicle upon which to ride to
popular favor. The company has a
score of good vocalists, who know
hcw and what to sing, beautiful cos
tuning, scenic and lighting effects
all lend in a humble way to make
this gorgeous production. As {
popular price attraction it is way
ahead of anything ever shown il
Bristol before, and while IT is no
me largest Of its kind entour, il i

Wilson Will No, Declare War
Unless This Course Forced

Washington, Feb. 10.-1he course
to be taken by the United States II
Germany compels the use Of force to
safeguard American lives and rights
has been determined. Ii was learned
authoritatvely after Fridays cabinet
meeting that in the event President
Wilson goes before Congress again
1t will not be to ask for declaration
Of war but to follow literally the
words of the address in which he an
nounced the break of diplomatic re-
lations and request authority to use
means deemed necessary to protect
American seamen and people.
The president, il was stated, is as
anxious as ever to avoid war with
Germany, but also is as determined
as ever that American citizens and
ships shall be free to travel the high
seas unmolested. His next step, #
taken, will be to enforce that right
and even then the, issue of war or
peace with Germany. Any hostile
action will have to come in the form
Of an interference with an Ameri-
tan right.
Details of the governments plans
are not discussed 1t is known, how
ever, that conveying and arming of
merchant ships are being considered
No new developments came today
to indicate that the overt act by Ger
many regarded as inevitable was
nearer at hand. Fewer reports OF
ships sunk came in and none told Of
ficially of the loss of an American
life. Further information received
about George Washington, the negro
fireman lost on the Turino, indicated
that he probably was British sub
ject.
