SEES PERL. IN THE BALKANS
 BY ALLIANCE
Italian Government Does Not Like the Idea of Alliance of the
 Small Nations.

ROME, Aug. 21. Public opinion lere is reassured by the action of
 he London conference in regard to
 he claims of the Jugo-Slavs to the
 eastern shores of the Adriatic, the possession of which is regarded as
 Ill important for the safety of Italy
 md the carrying out of her national policy. While hoping that all mis- understandings as to the future of the subject Slavic communities may be amicably settled, the Italians are anxious that the people of the Allied countries will realize Italy's attitude toward the problems of the Eastern Adriatic and the Balkans. They express the fear that the gen erous desire of the Allies to protect and encourage small, backward na- tiOns may lead them to play into the hands of the Central Empires by setting up in the Balkans an al liance comprising nationalities of di- vers races, religious sects and in stincts and degrees of civilization -an alliance which, now that the Russian revolution has brought about the withdrawal of the protection of the great Slav nation, might cas- fly fall a prey to Austrian domina- tion, thus constituting serious per il to Italy.

Heavenly rest ard he was left alone.
His dear old mother went to him and

Cattle Thief Chased With Blood
Hounds.

The stealing of cattle which caused
a great deal of feelings in that section
a few miles west of Macon a year or so
ago. was stirred up Wednesday evening
ABOUT dark when a man, supposed to be
a negro was discovered leading a COW
away. A negro woman on the
Ames place recently bought by the
Montgomery Bros, had her COW tied
along side a ditch where the blood
weeds grew thick and about dark she
told her boy to carry the calf and tie it
near its mother. When the bow got to
the place where the COW had been tied
she was gone but in a few minutes he
espid her being led across a field by a
man. He gave the alarm in such an
alarming manner that the negro'drop-
ped the rope by which he was leading
the COW and ran away. The thief was
IN such a hurry he left his shoes, a pair
OF tan button shoes with the tops cut
off. Mr.. Crawford, manager of the
place and Messrs. Garrett and Harrison
Cockrell, were notified and they came
to town and had the sheriff to tele-
phone to Houston, Miss, for the blood
hounds. The hounds are the property
OF Mr.. johnson, marshal of Houston.
but they were brought to Macon by
Mr.. J. W. Bailey, the dogs trainer.
They left Houston about II o'clock and
reached Macon at 7 this morning. The
dogs Immediately took the track and
followed it about a mile aad a half to
the house of Simp Joiner. a negro iiy-
ing on Mr.. Will Taylor's place. They
wen into the house without any hest
tation and jumped on the bed. Thew
were taken out several times and al
ways came back on the same track.
Simp's daughter stated it was her bed
and no n else occupied it. The dogs
would not trail any member of the
family. Simp has always borne a good
reputation and has always been on
sldered above suspicion. No arrests
were made, and tie chances are that
such prompt action hereafter will stop
the stealing Of cattle, IN that section,

Like the END of a Perfect Day.
when its busy hours are over and the
quiet stiffness of evening falls like a
benediction Ger the earth, and all
nature whispers to the world, good,
night-was the close of the life Of J.
W. Paulette just before the dawn of
Thursday, April IL, 1917, at his home
near Center Point. He was inferred in
the Odd Fellows cemetery, at Macon,
on the morning of the 18th, by the side
of his wife. The many beautiful floral
offerings told the love and esteem in
which he was held. Mr.. Paulette had
been in poor health for some time;
he had always responded to the treat
ment of his physicians until his last ill
ness, when he sank into a %sub-conscious
condition, from which he never rallied.
His beloved nephew, Thomas McHenry
and his wife, were with him to the
last.
Sixty-four milestones marked his
journey from the cradle to the grave.
A native Mississippian, born and reared
in Noxubee county. he spent his early
years in the joyous sports incident to
the life of a country boy. He was the
son of Thomas B., and Lucinda Paul
ette-a member of a congenial family
which consisted of a brother, Thomas
b., and two sisters, Sarah and Jennie;
a foster brother and sister, Bascomb
and Sally McHenry. The tie that
bound them was like a silken cord, yet
strong as hooks of steel. Bascomb
McHenry loved and married Sarah
Paulette. One by one the children left
the parental roof TO build homes of
their own and now the flowers lie
withered on the tomb of the last of
that happy band. A beloved nephew,
Thomas McHenry and sister, Mrs. Ed
win Robbins-Mrs. R. j. Long and Mrs.
Jesse Sparkman, daughters of his sis
ter, Jennie, (Mrs. Grey survive him.
He acquired his early education in the
Oldield schools of years ago; attended
Gathwright's High School at Summer
vile, and college at Nashville. When
his collegiate course was finished he
came home and engaged in farming.
In October, 1877, he married Miss Sue
Long, of Cooksville.
Energetic, public spirited. successful
in business; he ranked with the most
prominent citizens of the county, a
mar of strong character, he loved his
friends, he'd a high sense of right and
justice and dealt honorably with his
fellow man Charity, 'The greatest
of the Three" dwelt in his bosom; he
never turned q deaf ear to its call, nor

To ColOred Teachers.

In the matter Of the registration Of
men for the national service in time Of
war, there may, and in all probability
will, be a great deal Of misunderstand-
ing among the coIored people Of the
county, very few of whom read the
daily papers. | want the colored
teachers to act as advisors to your
people in your community, telling them
exactly what is required Of them in the
carrying out Of the Congress for regis
tering all males between certain ages.
First. it is absolutely necessary that
all males who have reached their Dist
birthday and have not attained the age
Of thirty-one years, present themselves
at their election precinct on June the
9Th. 1917, ard register. II any are
physically unable to get 70 the pre-
cinct, they must notify the sheriff be-
fore the fifth that he may arrange to
have them registered by agent. Heavy
penalties are provided for failure to
register.
Second, it is evidently the intention
of the President not to call to arms
those who are actively engaged in the
pursuit Of agriculture; they are already
enlisted in a department for national
defense as necessary as the depart
ment which operates actively at the
battle front. So that, | would have
you advise your people that registra-
ton does not necessarily mean a call to
arms. What they should do is to ar
range to be engaged as actively as pos
sible in the work Of the farm, and by
mean to imagine that they can through
any sort of pretended ignorance of the
law escape registering as required.
Third, ask your minister on Sunday
to explain to his congregation the
necessity for each man Of the required
age to comply fully with the law. and
also to explain the other contents of

Tom JEFF Roger EnHsf.

Tom JEFF Roger, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. NJ. Roger, of Brooksville, who has
been employed in Memphis, Tenn. for
the past year or two, recently enlisted
in Uncle Sans service, and having
had some military training he was &C.
cepted at the o%ficers's training camp at
Fort Oglethrope, Ga. The following
reference to him as a baseball pitcher
appeared recently in the Commercial
Appeal:l
The second game vert to the Macca-
bees by the score of 7 to 2. The game
was set back fifteen minutes until the
players could go through a military
drill which was given by Drill Master
Frayser Hinton, who is drilling the
night squads at the postoffice. All of
the boys seemed interested and it is
likely that the drilling will be a regular
thing in the Old Glory League.
Roger, a new hurler for the Macca-
bees held the Y. M. H. A. boys safe at
all stages with only four hits, while
Roger, to make the day a signal day in
his history, banged out three hits in
four tries, one of which was a three
Dagger.
The Maccabees would not have piled
up such a large score had it not been
for miserable support given Dutton,

When Senator Lodge Of Massa-
chusetts was beginning his speech
on the resolution to declare war,
he took, as a Republican, this
position:
Speaking for myself and, ! hope,
for my associates generally on this
side of the chamber. | desire to say
that in this crisis, and when the
country is at war, party lines will
disappear.
The fact is that. in his war
measures, President Wilson has
had three powerful opponents.
And all three were members of his
own party, all three intrenched in
official positions in the party, sub
ordinate in Importance only to the
President himself. They are
Champ Clark, Democratic Speaker
of the House; Claude Kitchin,
Democratic leader of the House;
and Senator Stone, Democratic
chairman Of the Committee on For,
eign Relations. The fact that
these powerful leaders of his own
party were opposed to him, and
that the President has all all along
known of their opposition, is put
forward by his friends as one JUS
LITIGATION for his waiting until he
could be sure of his ground. The
justification is fair. And yet,
when the issue was clearly pre-.
sented, there were just six votes
in the Senate against the Presi-
dents policy-six out of ninety
six. Stated in terms of percent
age, this is Ia per cent. Six
and a quarter is something less
than the percentage of queer folks
in any group of average human
beings There isn't any communi
ty which on any question what
ever would be unanimous. Even
in the absence of aberrant convic
tions, there are always some who
enjoy the conspicuousness of a con
trary position, who will vot,
against the majority just to be diff
fcrent.-COllier's.
