By Earl G. Reeves.

London, June 29.-That age-old
suspicion that most of the dope of
Beatrice Fairfax and other '.advis-
ers to the lovelorn" is really show
ed into print by various mere men,
IN overgrown boards and shirt
sleeves, tongue in one cheek. gets
a jolt.
Maybe it's the ministers.
A minister of the gospel, to the
village OF Foxley. pens an an
nouncement which brands him an
adept. If he hasn't been conduct
ing an advice-to-lovers column,
Northciiffe, the British super
publisher, should send one OF his
bright young men Immediately to
sign contract.
The high cost of being married
has ben increased by an addition
to the cost of getting married.
The Rev. H. L. Warneford
makes the announcement as fol-
lows:
The ecclesiastical commission
ers have raised the fees for mar
riages. The clergyman's minimum,
which used to be $1.60 Ito trans
iate), or thereabout, is now $s.3S.
Let us hope this raising of the
fee will not make the swains in
our parishes more shy, more hesi-
tating, more cool and calculating.
IF it does, then the village
maidens must rise to the occasion
and see to their charms and show
the stern and fal:ering by extra
arts and Establishments, by an Of
fensive more bewitching and coy,
that they are well worth the extra
sl.6s and a good deal more into
the bargain"
1t is not recorded whether the
emigration of the village swains
has started.

CORNF|ELD MURDER
 MYSTERY UNSOLVED
Court Dismisses J. E. Johnson and Wife on Motion of De-
 fense-Evidence Lacking

Meridian, Mis-, March 9.-(Special.)- The preliminary trial of J. E. Johnson and his wife. charged in an affidavit sworn out by L. G. Morris with the mur- der of his wife, Mrs Josephine Morris, was suddenly terminated today, when at the close of the states testimony Justice w. D. Roberts discharged the defendants. sustaining a motion that the couple be acquitted on the ground that the state had failed to connect them in any way with the murder.
 Among the witnesses introduced by the state was Roy c. Miner, son-in-law of the accused, who was recently tried for the same murder and acquitted. His testimony, like that of the other state witnesses threw absolutely no light on the mystery surrounding the death of Mrs. Morris, who was shot to death and her body scund in cornfield on John sons farm November A, last.
 The next move of the state in an ef- fort to solve one of the most notable murders in the criminal annals of the county is unknown. The chances are good, it is believed, that crime will never be identified.

MAYOR DECLINES
 ID REHIRE COPS
Seven Policemen, Let Out as Result of Economy Order,
 Will Stay Out

Meridian, Miss, March 9.-(SpeciaL) Request of more than 1000 petitioners of the city of Meridian that seven po- licemen who were removed from the force shortly after the present mayor and members of the council were in- ducted into office be reinstated has been denied by the council.
 Mayor Parker who is superintendent of the police department by virtue of his office as chief executive, stated to committee of the local trades coun- cil presenting the petition, that the police force was reduced as a mater of economy in order that more money might be had to purchase needed equipment for the street department; that with the money thus secured @ number of mules, wagons and tocls, had been purchased and with a larger street force much benefit had already been derived
 In view of these facts Mayor Parker stated he would be unable to recom- mend favorable consideration of the petition. He further stated that, in his opinion, the present number of po- licemen, 15. is sufficient and that the council did not contemplate now 1T at any time in the near future increasing this number.
 The men who were removed from the force had been in the service of the department for many years, one or two of them the better part of their lives and they are left without any means of making a living, the city not having adopted any system of car ing for or pensioning employees when their efficiency is brought in question by reason of advanced years.

.COOSA COUNTY MAY| BECOME RICH WITH.
 MINING INDUSTRIALS.
Mica, Graphite, Iron and Tale Abound Throughout That Sec tion-RailroadS Are Great
 est Need
By MEREDITH WALLACE

Rockford, March 9.-(Special Ut is thought by many mining engineers and mineral experts that Coosa county is scheduled to become large mining cen- ter, since large deposits of different minerals located in paying quantities have been discovered In this section.
 The principal minerals in the county, according to the reports of these engi- neers and experts, are mica, graphite iron and tale, the mica and graphite having been the only minerals as yet de- veloped to any appreciable extent.
 What is said by experts to be one of the best and richest mica traces in the south lies in three parallel veins extend- ing northeast and southwest through this section and at some points as close as tyo and one-half miles of Rockford. On the property of H. w. Pond, a short dis tance from Rockford, sheets of mica up to six inches square have been found. Very little mining as yet has been done on his property, although S5OO has been realized as net profit by the sale of mica on his property.
 MANY INQUIRIES
 Three mines in the county are already making handsome profits, and it is thought that several other mines will be open in short time in the mica sections, according to the latest reports. A few oays ago three prospective buyers were in Rockford looking into the mica pros poets. Also letters to owners of mica lands from various points are coming in making inquiries as to the grade, size of sheets, means of transportation, mining facilities and cost of mining.
 The graphite mined in Coosa county rivals that of Ceylon, both in quality and quantity Six mines had been operated profitably up to the close of the World war, when the enormous import of Cey- lon graphite under the low duty caused some of these to close temporarily. The owners of these mines are looking to their representatives for the passage of tariff bill which will enable them suc- cessfully to compete with foreign gra- phte. In the mean time, these owners are looking forward to the building Of railroads in this county which will fla cilitate the transportation of the minerals with less expense.
 The iron and tale resources have not been developed to any extent. It is re- ported however, that these minerals are located in paying quantities in certain sections of the county.
 Coosa county, with it's large mineral resources, although undeveloped, is in great need of good railroad system extending through the county from the northwest to the southeast to connect with the manufacturing plants of Bir- mingham and the gulf ports. The Geor- gia Central touches the eastern section of this county, -but inasmuch as the vast amounts of undeveloped resources are located in the western section it is. of no great value as a facility for transporta- tion of the minerals

 Washington Bureau The Age Herald son Davidson ButIut

Washington, March 9.-(Special) The scramble for patronage is un- eprccedented. From every nook and corner in the United States men have come to Washington seeking, demand ing jobs, or have secured spokesmen to represent them.
 Republican senators have their hands full. They themselves bear testimony that the republicans for eight years denIed place at the pie counter are actually starving to death. They declare that thelr constituents recommend themselves very highly, and that practically every one of them very modestly lays claim to the honor of having nominated and elected President Harding.
 In regard to patronage, two things are already evident. In general, this admin istration will recognize regular organiza- tions. The administration is regular itself, and against "progressivism" as a disturbing element in politics. Faction

Mary Jane and the Little Old Main
 in the Woods

N NE day, when Mary Jane got to be a \ great big girl, nine years old, she met O little old man at the edge of the woods. He was the funniest little old man you ever saw. Dressed all in green on one side, and all in red on the other. One of his feet was turned frontwards and the other was turned backwards, so you could never know which way he was going until he started.
 This little old mans name was Old John- Star. He had lived in the woods for long, long time. What he had come to see Mary Jane for was about the delicious Mary Jane Syrup that Jimmy Jones. the woodchuck, told him about.
 Mary told him all about how good Mary Jane Syrup was for everybody, and ran into the house and got him couple of

alism is drowned upon Therefore, to the regular organizations will go the spells. The referee system will prevail, and as result, some individual in eacn state will pro-rate the pie to those who are most deserving. This individual, Of course. will quietly-behind the scenes representlthe two senators from his state.
 DEMOCRATIC ATTITUDE
 The other fact that is evident is that democratic senators will permit the re- publicans to have their way in dispens- ing patronage. Of course, these senators will not permit if possible, the conhrma- ton of persons obnoxious to them. and southerners will stand as long as they can against the securing of jobs in the south by negroes, however high might be their standing with the political mas ters of the country.
 But as a whole democrats will offer little opposition. All that republican ref erees need do in democratic states is to select individuals who are not per SC im- possible. If democratic senators are treated fairly there will be no insur- mountable handicaps to confirmation. 1t is true that democrats will endeavor to see to it that democrats. now holding of fee are permitted to complete the terms for which they were appointed. If this is permitted, democratic senators will suffer them to step dawn and out with out resorting to battle
 POSSIBLE OPPOSITION
 On the other hand. if the republicans attempt to ride over democratic senators roughshod, democratic senators will fight back. It may be stated as fact that in- asmuch as all offices will go to repub- licans. Georgia senators care very little who names them, whether he be Henry Lincoln Johnson, black, or the white man who endeavors to wrest the crown from the Africans brow. But if Henry Lincoln, Johnson attempts to fill federal offices in Georgia with negroes, he will have a difficult time in succeeding with his programme.
 Likewise in other sta :es of the soutb, al that senators will insis. upoa is that republicans take what s coming to them and refrain from endeavoring to deprive democrats of berths unjustly. It is un- questionably true that there will be actual fighting if democrats are threat cred with deposal prior to the expiration of their terms; or if democrats are as- sailed solely because they are democrats.
 It is also true, that democrats will re- sist the republican effort to abandon the merit system for the spells system in the appointment of postmasters.

wafdes that were sti1l hot from lunch, and put a lot of syrup on them, and gave them to Old John-Star.
 Old John ate every bit of them, srnacled his lips and said, ''It's the best thing ever tasted, and don't blame folks for being so enthusiastic about Mary Jane Syrup. It's everything they say about it. and little more"
 And then he took two steps forward and one step back, and finally got started away from there in the right direction, and Mary Jane was glad that she had made another friend who would be glad all the days of his life that she had told him about Mary Jane Syrup.
