ROME, Jan 5.-President Wilson
left Rome last night immensely
pleased with the results of his con-
ference with Italian statesmen and
Pope Benedict.
Although plainly showing the ply
sicsl strain of his crowded program
while here, the President was anx-
ious to return to Paris and begin the
actual peace conferences. His timer
ary, however, called for two more
days in Italy: Unless tentative plans
are changed, the President viii make
public speeches in Milan and Turin
today and tomorrow. He may also
make o brief address when he laws a
wreath on the Columbus monument at
Genoa today.
Seeks Close Contact.
The President. il is known, is de-
sirous Of establishing even closer con-
tact with the Italian people Than he
succeeded in doing in Rome and en-
route here from Paris. His speech in
the Chamber OF Deputies Friday even
ing. while directed at the whole peo-
pie-in fact, at the whole worId-wss
delivered to an audience restricted
largely to officialdom. 1t is regarded
as possible that at Milan or Turin he
will duplicate, as regards the charac-
ter OF his auditors, his Manchester
address. Those two cities, like Man
chester, are the center OF the national
industrial region.
The Presidents visit to the Pope
yesterday was attended by elaborate
ceremonies. He went from the Ameri.
can embassy to the Vatican. owing To
the relations OF the Vatican and the
Cuirinal, which made il desirable for
him to proceed directly from Ameri-

FIRE ISLAND, N. Y. Jan. 81
Only a skeleton crew remained on
the stranded hospital transport
Northern Pacific today.
The LIZA wounded, no other
troops and passengers, and most of
the 466 navy sailors and, officers
had been safely removed. The
troops are at Camp Mills, the
wounded scattered in several hos
pitfalls IN and near New York.
Wrecking operations were started
late yesterday. Hope of pulling the
Northern Pacific into deep water
has not been abandoned. but first
she must be lightered by throwing
overheard her guns and other heavy
movables.
Not Single Life Lost.
Great credit was given to the navy.
the coast guard, and the army medical
corps for taking more than $500 per-
sons off the ship, under the worst
weather conditions, without losing a
single life. The rescuers faced death
constantly. taking desperate chances,
and suffered many hardships as they
toiled on hour after hour, drenched
with spray.
The worst suffering aboard. IL was
said, was when the automatic ven
tillator system was put out of COM
mission by stoppage Of the engines.
Wounded below decks thenlacked
fresh air. The strain was made hard
er to bear, said coast guards, by the
deafening crash of breakers against
the side of the steamer. The noise
and jar were stunning. Finally
drinking water ran low. From first
to last the morale Of the men in such
deadly peril, many of them bedridden
and helpless, was unbroken.

WARNING
To White Democrats ofMississipp.

Every qualified voter in this
state who believes that the majority
of onr citizenship should rule in all
governmental matters, owes it to
himself and his government to lay
aside his duties and go out to the
polls and vote at the general cleo
ton next Tuesday. As possibly all
know we have a Socialist ticket in
the field and this party has a man
for most all of the state offices.
Negligence on the part of the DEM
ocrats might mean the defeat OF the
nominee.
In view of the fact that hereto
fore many men who voted the DEM
ocratic ticket in the primaries went
to the polls and voted the Socialist
ticket in the general election. it be-
hooyes the real true democracy to
look after this and kick all such
traitors to the party out and let
them stay where they belong. A
man who will not support the NOM
inee OF his party is not honest. He
is dangerous citizen and deserves
the condemnation of every decent
citizen regardless of party utilization.
Let me call your attention to
another thing. At least one paper
$50 called. in this state, immedi-
ately after the second primary this
year, issued . CALI to what the
writer was pleased to term, True

AN ADITORIAL.-

Democrats of this state to meet
and organize a new party. A real
Democratic party. as he termed it..
Just what sort of aggregation that
would be / am at loss to know.
This government is government
of majorities., When the majority
has spoken in any contest common
fair minded men against the over
throw of what the majority has done.
But, as shown by such propaganda
as the above, we have some men at
least who are not Democrats. They
believe in the rule of the minority
whenever the man or measure they
may prefer has not been approved
by the people. Every honest DEM
ocrat and every self-respecting man
regardless of party will condemn
any such utterances as that attempt
ing to rule by might alone or over
ride what the majority shall say.
Furthermore constitutional
amendment looking to the aid of
the common schools OF this state
will be voted upon. This is an inn
portant amendment and should, in
my judgment be passed. Nothing
is of more importance than the care
and education of the youth of the
state and the country schools are in
dire need OF additional help.
Respectfully.

We are informed that Aberdeen OF

rock road north to the Fifth Beat line
on the old Cotton Gin road. Our
people for years thought all roads
lead to Aberdeen, and we were at
that time a valuable asset of the
Aberdeen merchants. But in recent
years our surrounding towns. Oko-
Iona. Amory and Nettleton have
built rock roads reaching for our
trade. thereby cutting Aberdeen
completely off. We will no doubt. do

Organize a Home Guard.


The country is in alarming
state OF unrest. From every sec
ton comes the herald of dissatis-
faction aggravated by post war
conditions that always attend
times of reconstruction.
The high cost of living, nee
essary consequence of withdraw
ing 100000 of men from the
channels of commerce, indus
trial pursuits and production for
army duty at home and overseas.
is factor in this general demon
alizatiOn. 1t is idle TO mention
all the causes that have develop
ed this alarming state of unrest;
il is enough TO admit that it ex-
lists. The wise community will
lake steps 10 prevent any lawleSS
outbreaks, or Instructions, that
might result as a consequence.
Dangerous propagandas incit-
ing to violence and overthrow of
law are disseminated secretly and
Ill the open. The |. w. WIS. the
Bolshevists. and designing negro
phile newspapers are plotting to
ordinate their d a m n a b e
pTeachments. The country is
flooded with reasonable litera-
fure and radical doctrines are
fomenting discord, which if not
checked, will steep this country
in violence and bloodshed. Con
gress is taking note of conditions
that prevail in almost every sec
ton of the Union and is formu-
lating legislation that will block
the spread of dangerous doctrines
which are founded mostly in i'm
aginary grievances.
In the meantime. Mississippi is
without protection in the exist
ence of an adequate State militia.
What are the people of Aberdeen
and Monroe county doing to re-
spond to the call OF Adjutant
General Eric Scales that COM
pany OF the National Guard be
organized in this county?
Where is the pre-war military
spirit that hitherto has So glori-
ously characterized our young
men and boys? We hear no
longer the sound of the b1gle
that tells that our boys are or
ganized and prepared to quell
riots that might occur during the
preyalenCy of these disturbing
times.
Won't some of our young men
interest1hemselyes and organize
a company of home guards right
here in Aberdeen, and right now?
Can they afford to be back
ward in this move? The State is
calling upon us to furnish
company of the national guard.
We have always responded to
every call that is righteous in
purpose. We ought to respond
to this one right now. Won't
