 OFFICERS FOR SETTLEMENTS
 MADE IN THE COAL STRIKE.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 6.-Expected opposition from the radical element opposed to the coal strike settlement developed when the radicals opposed a move to indorse the reports Of John L.

 Delegates opposed to the settle, ment said they had been instructed by their locals to demand the resig- nation of the national officers respon- sible for the settlement. They de-, clared these officials should have gone to jail rather than surrender, their terms to President Wilson," s-

Drills and Rigs.

Messrs. Carter and Bates are now
in Texas arranging to ship rigs for
drilling of the oil wells. Mr.. Bates
stated just before he left Tuesday

soon as the drills could be loaded
and shipped the work of putting them
in place would be pushed as rapidly
as possible.
The North Mississippi Oil and De-
velopment Co. will withdraw all stock
from the market at the present price
as soon as drilling has commenced.

VALENTINE SOCIAL.

The Home Demonstration Club at
Taylor gave a delightful Valentine
party at the school house. The pro-
ceeds, over $500, are to be used for
the Home Science Class of the High
School.
The program consisted of House
Science drill by the members of the
class, a reading by Madge Walker,
Club Songs by the girls and piano
duet. The program was followed by
refreshments. The guests found that
the work at school had made the girls
enthusiastic about foods and they
did their best to have their teacher,
Mrs. r. H. Porter, feel that they were
a credit to her. An Edison furnished
music while the eating was in pro-
gress.
The most exciting feature of the
evening was the balloting on the most
popular girl for the cake. Miss Edna
Busbee was the lucky belle. Frolic
and fun were enjoyed until late
hour.
Professor Busbe says that the
school is the logical community CEN
ter and it is to be hoped that it may
become the center of the community
social life as well.

A CORRECTION.

Two weeks ago the Eagle carried
a full page advertisement for the
Drake Motor and Tire Manufacturing
Company, Memphis, Tenn, offering
stock for sale in this corporation. The
ad writer through an over sight fail
ed to state the price of shares. The
company has requested that we state
to our readers that the price of this
stock, at present, is $40 per share.
Stock in corporation of this kind
should be a paying investment, and
there is no doubt but the selling price
of this stock will advance to several
times it's present value.

100 TROOPS
GUARD SLAYER
Charlie Marshall Sent to Abber-
deem for Trial.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 12.-Charlie
Marshall, white, alleged slayer of four
members of the Miller family near
Amory, on Jan. Is, and who was
brought here for safe-keeping, was
taken under military guard to Aber-
deem tonight where he will be given
a preliminary trial.
Gov. Russell today received mes
sage frcm Judge Long of the Aber-
deem district advising that strong
feeling existed against Marshall in
Monroe County and that summary
justice might be attempted and sug
gested that military guard be sent
with him. A military escort of about
100 men fully armed, in charge Of
Lieut.. c. r. Dalby of the adjutar3
generals office accompanied Ma1stoli
and will be on guard duty f!ul.;NG

Aberdeen, Miss, Feb. 12.-C,.aI,;e
Marshall, alleged slayer of forr :..cc,l-
bers of the family of Bob Miller c.
the night of Jan. Is, did not recc.l
Aberdeen tonight. Although news g
his coming has been a constant top
of conversation all day none but tae
sheriff and three deputies met the
train tonight that was reported to be
bringing him. There is no talk or
sentiment towards mob action here
and the sheriff has declared that he
alone could protect Marshall.
1t is believed here Marshall was
taken from the train at Durant and
will be brought to Aberdeen early to-
morrow.
Tomorrow he will be given pre-
liminary hearing. If he waves the
preliminary it is probable that Pearl
May Miller, the 13-year-old girl, who
was the only eyewitness to the trog-
edy, will tell her story to the court
in order that it may be on record in
case anything should happen to her.
When it was announced that Mar
shall would be brought back it caused
no excitement. The citizens of Aber-
deem and Amory and throughout Mon
roe county have decided to let the
Monroe County courts give Marshall
fair trial.
Messrs. Payne & Payne of the local
bar will assist District Attorney j. E.
Berry and County Attorney Chalmers
Tubb in the prosecution. 1t is not
known yet who will defend Mar
shall. "a

until next week. Northern counties
will not cut their wheat until early in

Excellent reports are coming from
the counties where wheat is practi-
cally ready for the harvest. In the
main excellent weather conditions
have prevailed and the season for ma
turity of the crop has been most IA
vorable encountered in several years.
Mohler. who estimates a need for
$4,000 men, believes the demand will

the car shortage. A conference of
bankers, railroad officials and wheat
growers will be held in Mohlers Of
