Laurel and world war veteran, was
fatally shot by Eugene Evans in the
heart of the business district here
today. Death resulted two hours
later at local hospital.
The cause of the shooting has not
been ascertained. but it is believed

nation of quarrel which took place
between the two men last Saturday

tied.
Evans, who fed the scene of the
tragedy leaving his hat behind, was
captured shortly afterwards by Con-
stable Bailey and lodged in the
county Jail. 1t is said he will plead
self defense.
Evans is about Is years of age

ant and at the time of his death was

GULFPORT IS SWEPT
BY WAVE OF CRIME
Three RObberies in One Night
Cause Roundup of Va
grants.

Gulfport, Miss, Jan. 13.-The
wave of crime that has been sweep
ing the country evidently has deter
mined not to overlook the Gulf coast
so the visitors from the North need
have no fear Of being disappointed
Gulfport had three robebries last
night. Early in the evening a negro
footpad held up and robbed a young
newsboy of his days earnings and
about a. M, today robbers visited
the jewelry store of ]. H. Hairless,
where they got about $400 worth
of cameo brooches, silver mesh bags
card cases and coin holders, then
passed on down the street to Karl
Fasold's store where they proceeded
to help themselves to about $500
worth of gold watches, rings and
jewelry. They broke the large front
plate glass windows in each case and
confined their operations to the show
windows. The police are rounding
up all who cannot give a good ac-
count of their actions and in conse-
quence the city Jail is we'll filed and
the county farm will be we'll patron
lied, as the mayor is sending all va
grants up for long periods. So far
no actual clue has been secured to
the robbers but several suspicious
characters are being questioned and
watched very closely.
All neighboring towns and cities
have been notified and given a full
description of the jewelry and early
arrests are expected. Trouble of this
kind can be expected along the coast
as New Orleans is making it very
unhealthy for vagrants and they are
seeking the towns where they feel
the police will not be so active.
Our rye ought all to go into good

HIGHWAY COMMISSION
ADOPTS NEW POLICY
Federal Aid Only for Perma.
nent Roads Out of Large
Cities.

The 100000 allotment for Fed
eral aid to Kinds county
by the State Highway Commission
is based on the condition that the
county build a hard-surface high
way from Jackson to Clinton, a
distance of about ten miles.
Thus the State Highway Comis-
sion sets a new policy. That body
will not in the future, give Federal
aid to road projects out of large
cities like Jackson unless the propos-
ed highways are to be of permanent
construction.
The following allotments were
also made:
$4,000 was allotted to project No.
Al, in Wilkinson county.
$4,000 was allotted to project No.
10, Lincoln county, for the purpose
OF constructing concrete bridge to
complete this project.
$4,000 was allotted to Newton
county to construct the road be-
tween Hickory and Decatur, pro-
Vlded the same could be placed on
the hve year program map.
$4,000 additional federal aid was
appropriated to project No. l in
lttawamba county.
X. Maddingly, member of the
board of supervisors of Grenada
county, requested $4,000 as Fed
eral aid on the road from Montgom-
cry county line to connect with pro-
ject No. As. This application was
granted and Mr.. Maddingly agreed
the State Highway Engineer to pre-
pare the plans at the expense of
Grenada county.
The board of supervisors of Jack
son county requested the sum of
$1SO,000 for the construction of an
1S foot permanent hard surfaced
road from West Pascagoula River
to Ocean Springs. This application
was granted upon the condition
that the State Highway Engineer
prepare the plans at the expense of
Jackson county.
The commissioners from Benton
district OF YaZoo county and their
engineer appeared before the COM
mission and requested Federal aid
on the road from Benton to Canton.
This project, the State Engineer
said was not on what is known as
the five year program; but the
Highway Commission went on record
as pledging to vote this amount of
Federal aid needed, $150,000, to
make the connection between the
Yazoo and Madison county ends of
said road, as soon as funds were a.
vailable and the "key-map" was COM
pleted, showing line of roadway, etc.
The allotment to the following
projects was rescinded, as the pro-
jects had either been abandoned or
were not showing any progress:

On Friday night, the 9th, Tom Carroll and Dick Sedio, two well known residents of Garland Prairie, enjoyed a lit tie argument. Tom met Dick on the road and told him he was going to lick him. Dick got down off his horse and told Tom to go to it. According to reports, they tore around over about two acres for about an hour, when hostilities ceased, as they were both winded. When they got up Dick had black eye and Tom a cut lip. In order to save the range, and also to see that both Tom and Dick get a square deal, it is planned to stage their next bout at the Annual Garland Prairie Barbecue next summer. So far bets are even up.

 Campaign
 Word has been received from Mesa that the evangelist ic campaign being conducted in that city by Dr. c. R. Haud- enschield is proving far more successful than the church peo- pie had even dared to hope. Many had said that it was use less to try to put on campaign there but the interest that is be- ing manifested and the results that are already visible are e. nough to justify the faith of the few.
 Dr. Haudenschild begins his work in Williams Oct. II and it is hoped that Williams may be able to tell a similar story to Mesa's. The church is being prepared by means of sermons and prayer and it is to be hoped that the people of the city will make arrangements toattend as many as possible of the servic- es.

PROFESSOR THOMSON
 DEMONSTRATE CULLINC

Prof. R. B. Thomson, poultry | huSbandman of the University
 of Arizona, accompanied by
 County Farm Agent Chisholm
 conducted two poultry culling demonstrations here Thursday,
 as formerly announced in these 1 columns. One was conducted
 at the F. B. Wells poultry ranch
 in the forenoon and the other
 at the w. F. Thomasson ranch
 in the afternoon. /
 Prof. Thomson opened the demonstration with a short
 talk on culling, in which he briefly touched upon several of the diff ferent culling systems that have been freely advertis- ed, including the Hogan sys- tenn. He pointed out some of the fallacies. and follies of the various systems and went on to show a much simpler method of arriving at the points which all the various systems attempt to determine. Each of those present was made thoroughly familiar with the method used by the professor. Each was asked to test hens after which he would pass on the same hens advising as to what errors had been made.
 One point which aided much in the selecting of good hens was the presence or absence of yellow pigment in the legs, eye rings and ear Iobes. The good layers had hardly a trace of yellow showing almost clear white.
 The shape of the bony frame is one of the most important points to be observed in judging a laying hen. MT. Thomson demonstrated how to judge this and then had each person in the audience make tests. His method was so simple that all quickly learned this point.
 The texture of the skin was point taken up and a simple method of determining this was given.
 The professor threw HOgan's method of measuring the pelvic bones into the discard and used ] measurements. of the back in- stead. He remarked that the | pelvic bones of poor layer will be practically the same as hose of a good layer while both are laying-the one perhaps an egg a week and the other an egg daily. However, the poor aver cannot change the shape of her back. The hen with a broad back from which the pei 7ic bones protrude at a sharp angle is the good layer.
 All of those who attended the demonstrations were delighted with the clear manner in which he subject was presented and All are hoping that Gr. Thomson will return again o give another demonstration t future date.
 Those interested in poultry, f vho missed the demonstration were decidedly unfortunate.
