The following news story, sent in
from Jackson, appeared in the Com
mercial Appeal this morning. We re
produce ii, as It is of local interest.
The story follows
Acting Chairman Wm. II. Smith of
the Nj sisippi Council of Defense is
conducting an investigation into the
case which certainly as presented to
/ lhim would indicate that men with
l"shrivelsd souls" are continuing to

circumstance tC krucl1le down to the
whip-hand Of those who hve q hold on
them.
The facts are, as stated in an affi-
davit, duly and properly made by Dex-
ter Gree, a young man of "a years, a
dfaftee IN class 1, limited service,
whose home was in Lafayette County.
that alb ut August - lat he received
official notice form his local board to
eatrain 1t oxford for a training camp
within i week If the notice. He was
q tenant on the place Of Edgar Web
ster, IN Lafayette County; had a pair
mules, 4 wagon, plcw end certain ag~i-
cultural tools, and owed Webster

The face young Grace was compel ed to
take some steps to get rid of his home
affairs and realize as much as possible
on his little property. A. stated in
his affidavit:
On or about Aug. %, 1918, he e
ceived notice from the government to
entrain 81 Oxford fer camp in one
week from that date. He proposed to
Ea Gosaett, neighbor in the connnnu-
nifty, 30 sell him mis- crop and he pro-
posed to take S275, provided Gossett

the mules into his custody and paid
$40 to Gree. About four days after
TINS trade was made YOU affiant re-
eeived notice that it would not be nee
essary for him to entrain, whe-eupon
he went to see the said Gossett and
asked him to rue back or cancel the
trade and return to him his mules and
other property. Gossett declined to
cancel, but did agree to pay him $25
additional.
Afiiaat believes that he will make
three AID half bales Of cotton and
bout 300 bushels of corn, in addition
TO popcorn, peas and hay. Cotton at
aihant's market Is worth 33 cents
pound and corn $3.50 per bushel. He
was TO pay his landlord one-fourth OF

RICH GOLD DEPOSIT
Ole Berg Has Developed and Blocked Out Over a Million During
 the Winter.

MCCARTHY, Alaska, March 2S.- Special Correspondence)-Ole Berg's gold mine in the Copper River val ley off from Strelna, which has been exciting the wonder of mining men, i5 getting better every day. He has blocked out through development wori. a million dollars this winter so I was told by Mir. Dwyer of Strelna.
 The outlook for the future in the copper belt is very bright. We look for considerable development work to be done this summer, and more or less prospecting for lode gold mines It has been definitely determined that there is gold belt running parallel with the copper belt and just a short distance south of it. all the way down from the Kotsina. river to the head of the Chitina fTver, a distance of over 150 miles in length
 Very little prospecting for gold lodes has been done throughout this belt as yet, especially for gold, as almost every one has been looking for either copper or placer gold, and
