Agricultural College, Miss. July IL.
President D. C. Hull today made
announcement of the fact that at the
June meeting of the general board
of trustees Of the University and
Colleges, action was taken a%bolishing
the special military companies known
as Lee Guards and the George Rifles.
This action of the board of trustees
is in line with action already taken
with reference to social clubs at the
State University. The resolution of
the Trustees setting forth the reasons
upon which this decision was based,
is given out for general information,
as follows:
Whereas, it is the judgment Of
this Board that the special military
companies at Mississippi A. & NJ.
College known as the Lee Guards
and the George Rifles, are fostering
social and class distinctions that nave
no place in domestic institutions; that
their influence tends to extravaganza
and excessive social indulgence on
the part of their members; that pres
ence Of these companies in the stu
dent body is the cause Of discord, and
that the organizations exer. no con-
structive influence for good to the.
college or to the student body, there
fore be it
Resolved. first That the special
regulations adopted early in the last
session providing for reorganization
of these companies are hereby re-
voked; second That these special mill
tary companies are hereby abolished
third, That in future, no organization
whose purpose is social or semi-social
or whose members r selected or a
basis of social fitness, shall be allow
to be organized or permitted to
exist in this Institution; fourth, That
the President and the Discipline
Committee of the faculty of Missis-
A. & M. College are hereby in
structed and empowered to enforce
this resolution by Furnishing viola
tons thereof, with dismissal or such
other penalty as may in their judg-
be wise and just"
Except to give effect to the reso-
luton above quoted, President Hull
stated that he had no comment to
make, the resolution being in fact
self-explanatory and fully under
standable. |

STATE POSTOFF|CE
IS PLANNED HERE
Idea of Postmaster General
Hays Has Been Partially
Carried Out Already

Plans are now under consideration
by Postmaster General Will Hays to
make the central accounting office
in each state postoffice department
for that state, according to n B.
Smyer. local postmaster.
The plans as suggested by Mr.. Hays
would confer upon each central ac-
counting office the same functions
now centralized in the department
at Washington making of the state
department a model along the lines
of the Washington office.
Alabama has gradually been work.
ing along these lines for the past six
years, according to Mr.. Smyer, until
at the present time the Birmingham
postoffice is the depository OF all of
the offices of the state, other post
masters in Alabama sending checks
to cover receipts and money orders to
this office each month.
All rural mail carriers in the state
are paid from this office. All sup
plies. including stamps, cards, stamp
paper, stationery, forms, scales and
all other material in connection with
the poStoffices of the state, are for
warded from the Birmingham office.
Claims for indemnity for loss or
damage of parcels are investigated
and paid from this office, all of
which. according to Mr.. Smyer. is a
gradual move toward the plan as
suggested by the postmaster general.
The plan, contemplates wider
scope for the central office than
heretofore. and would. according to
Mr.. Smyer. place the Birmingham Of
flee In an important position In the
state, making of 1t a larger depart
ment with the addition of a greater
number of employees to take care OF
the added duties Of the department.

CLOSED CAR SHOW
BEGAN YESTERDAY
Don Drennen Pleased With In
tereSt Shown in Exhibits
on First Day

Formal opening of the closed car
exhibit of the Birmingham Motor
company sales rooms took place yes
terday with a complete line of closed
Bucks on view.
Don Drennen, manager, was pleased
with the initial interest shown and
is confident that during the exhibit
ton good crowds will attend the
81 owing OF the handsome closed cars,
including the sedan and coupe types
of both the Buick -four" and the
Buick six"
Music from to 10 o'clock each
evening will be feature, during the
next two days of the exhibition, which
will give every citizen of Birmingham
who is interested in good cars a
chance to have the merits of the Buick
shown and explained.
The newest models of the coupes
and sedans are improvements in
looks and durability over the models
of last year, with comfort for win
ter driving that is said to be un-
equaled.
Mr. brennan feels that there Is not
better line of cars on the market
than the Buick in its price class and
that no car gives a better or more
satisfactory service during it's life,
at the same time affording a desira-
BILE touch of good taste in construc-
ton and appearance.

eral days. his strength has not d.
minisned apparently, 1t is stated, and
he spends a considerable portion of
HIS time pacing up and down his cell.
Crenshaw was arrested several
months ago after he had shot and
killed the Westons as they sat on
their porch at Ensley. Jealousy
caused by Mrs. Weston. a former
sweetheart, having Tilted him and
married Weston Ia said to have been
the motive for the double crime.
Recently, when Crenshaws case
wEs called for trial. a petition alleg-
ing insanity was filed in his behalf.
and during the hearing he created
scene In court by rolling on the
floor. -Four officers were required
to quiet him. Following the hearing
of evidence on the issue of the de-
fendant's sanity the matter was
taken under advisement by Judge
William e. Fort, who has not as YET
rendered a decision in the matter.
