 $100,000 Plant Without Cost

Columbus, Miss. December 6.<lSpecial-) By making levy of mills to provide maintenance fund. Lowndes county can secure plant valued at s1OO,ooO for use as an agricultural high school. The plant consists of a farm containing 100 acres of land and several modern buildings. To- coted about three miles northeast of Co., lumbus. It was purchased about year ago by R. B. Jones. a millionaire philan- tfropist, and was originally intended as gift to the Mississippi College for Women. Hon. H. l.. Whitfield, who last summer was deposed as president of the college, was Mir. Jones' warm personal friend. and the farm was to be presented to the college through kim. Now that he has been deposed, however, the college trus- tees have declined to accept the farm, claiming that they have no funds for it's maintenance. MT. Jones has already deeded the farm to MT. Whitfield. who now holds it in trust, and who is pre- pared to deed it to the county if the board of supervisors will agree to main- tain it as an agricultural high sclpei The board will consider the matter at it's next regular meeting, and will doubt less decide to accept the gift

|. & N. WINS SUIT
Western Union Loses Fight to Prevent
 Removal of Wires
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
 Washington. December 6.-The Vest ern Union Telegraph company soday lost its fight for an injunction re- |strainnig the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company from removing its telegraph lines from the railroads right of way when the supreme court refused to review the decision of the lower courts.
 The legal fight between the West ern Union and the Louisville and Nash vile started in 1912 when the telegraph company was ordered to remove it's lines on pain of forfeiture. Suit was lat once instituted and a temporary in junction secured by the wire company pending condemnation proceedings. The latter resulted in an award of right of way privileges to the telegraph lines on payment of $5,0oo.
 In the meantime, in 1916 the Ken lucky legislature passed law pro hibiting the condemnation of railroad rights of way. and the court of appeals reversed the judgment in favor of the Western Union.
 Appeal to the supreme court was made on the ground that the Kentucky law was unconstitutional. at least, in so far as it was interpreted to cover pending litigation.

Congress, introduced in the Senate and House concurrent resolutions petition ing the Secretary of the Treasury to permit the functionng of the war finance corporation. Committees im- mediately began the consideration of these measures, and there is little ques- ton but that very quickly they will be enacted.
 1t is the contention Of the representa- tives of the cotton and wheat producers that in view of the action by Con- gress Secretary Houston will not longer refuse to rehabilitate the war finance corporation, so capable of ex- tending loans and arranging credits whereby surplus American products may be advantageously sold to Euro pean countries. There are others, how ever who understand the Secretary to be so thoroughly convinced of the un- wisdom of the government attempting to stabilize the markets that he will refuse to respond to the resolution un- less otherwise directed by the Presi- dent.
 As further comfort for the farmers, Senator Smith of Georgia introduced an amendment to the federal reserve act providing for rediscounting of notes given by cotton factors In respect to his amendment, Senator Smith declared: {: 'I have no doubt that the act, without amendment, if properly interpreted, would authorize the rediscounting of such notes. But as Governor W. P. G. Harding has ruled to the contrary, would make the act so plain that there would be no room for erroneous con- struction."
 Other measures for the relief of the farmers will be introduced within the present week. Senator Dial of South Carolina will present an amendment to the cotton futures act, similar to the
