upon the one below 1t, and braced and

cient heritage Of New England and
speaks not only of the sincerity and
the conscientiousness Of the old Puri-

of beauty. Many Of the older walls

'In preparing for convention few
weeks ago Morgan made out from adj

again, cast out six and left the 127

$4,000 MARK
EASILY REACHED
Presbyterians Reach Their Goal of
$l0,000.-Small Margin to Spare
Campaign Great Success.

The Presbyterians of the city have
demonstrated what they can do wher
they set out to do a thing. The goal
set for $4,000 for the Presbyterian
schools Of the state was reached late
yesterday afternoon about s o'clock.
Complete returns will be given in this
paper after Messrs. Boiling and AL
exander have seen a few more who
have indicated their desire to add
something to the fund.
The very fact that a goal Of this
great amount was fixed by the bus
mess men of the church and its
achievement made possible by them,
is an indication of the spirit that per-
vades the community.
DR.. Melvin has returned to jackson
for few days after which he will
take his helpers to Greenville for
about ten days campaign.
The momentum given by the Green
wood people will make almost certain
the $150,000 that is being sought by
Christmas 1917.

B. I. MEETING
Is POSTPONED
Board of Directors of Business League
Will Meet Monday Night In
stead Of Tonight.

On account Of another important
function which large number Of the
Board of Directors of the Business
League desire to attend the meeting
called for tonight, to arrange for the
selection of new Board of Direc-
tors and to name representatives to
meet with the State Railroad Com
mission at Jackson on the 28th, has
been postponed until Monday night,
March 25th, at 1880 P. M.
As the matters to be considered are
of first Importance every member Of
the Board should be present. Memphis
is making an effort to have the in
trastate freight rates in Mississippi
increased, the effect of which would be
to greatly curtail the territory in
which local merchants could compete.
The Mississippi Railroad Commission
are to take the matter up for the con-
sideration of the question at jackson,
Miss, on March 2Sth and have asked
the Business League to be represent
ed and it is important that strong
delegation be present at the meeting
there.

MOVING POLES
FROM STREETS
City Appearances Being Improved
Wires to Be Run Through Allies
Where Possible.

The general appearances of the city
are being much improved by the re-
moval of telephone, telegraph and
electric light poles from the main
thoroughfares, where it is possible.
Mr. Roy Stott, superintendent of the
City Light and Water Department has
charge of the work which is the carry
ing out of plans he has been working
on for some time.
Two thirds of the poles on Market
Street have been removed and others
are to come down. Where it is pos
sible the lines will be run through the
ally ways and connections with build
ings be made in the rear. Where such
is impossible as many of the poles as
can reasonably be removed will be
taken from the main streets anyway.
Mr.. Stott is to be congratulated
upon his efforts to improve the ap-
pearances of the city.

Taken by DR.. Sweaney.

a member of the Advisory Board
Commission of the County, appointed
to meet and confer with the Board of

favored building one class of road
while the people of his district were
in favor of gravel. Mr.. Talbert stat
ed that he could not consistently vote
for either kind.
The Board named DR.. ]. D. Sweaney

the food question is becoming SER
ious and drastic steps are contemplat-

makes a decline in old crops illogical

Bullish efforts should be confined to
old crop positions. Prospects of the

Washington, March 23-The sink
ing by German submarine of the
American tank steamer Healdton with
the probable loss of score of lives,
many of whom were Americans, while
another grave addition to the long list
OF German aggressions against Amer
lean commerce, cannot cause any i'm
mediate change in the situation be-
tween the United States and Ger
many, it was said here today. A vir-
tual state Of war already exists and
government officials believe they are
doing everything possible to prepare
the nation to meet conditions.
The destruction of the Healdton
will be included by President Wilson
in his summary Of the German attacks
on American commerce when he goes
before Congress on April second. The
President received the first reports Of
the incident early today.
American Consul Mahen cabled that
the Healdton was torpedoed without
warning off the coast of Holland on
Wednesday.
President Wilson's address to Con-
sress was taken up in tentative form
'oday at the Cabinet meeting. While !
he exact nature necessarily will be
determined by developments in the
lext few days it is expected to specify
he character and probably outline
omprehensively just what he believes
congress should take to be meant war

ubmarines in the carrying out of the
uthless warfare.
