sippi. The road enters Mississippi al
point on the Pearl River, about 20
miles west of Poplarville, and goes
northeast, crossing Pearl River
Marion, Lamar, Forrest, Jones, JAS
per, Newton, Kemper, Noxubee,
and Lowndes Counties, in Mississippi
IL passes into Alabama from the
northeast corner of Lowndes. The
first postoffice established on the
road was at Columbus on March 6,
1920. Thomas Sampson was the first
postmaster.
Another important feature of
American history, as we have already
said, deals with the relation of the
United States Government to the In
dans and consideration of the various
treaties by which the land was
opened to white settlement. The two
treaties which concern us most di-
rectly are those of 1916 and 1880,
with the Choctaws. OF course we
are concerned with the earlier and
later treaties with the Chiekasaws
also, as the lands Of the two tribes
were adjacent in Mississippi; and
especially as there was difficulty in
defining the line where Chickasaw
lands stopped and Choctaw lands
started.
Mississippi's greatest Indian tribes
were the Choctaws, the Chiekasaws,
and the Natchez Indians. The great
central expanse of the State was the
home Of the Choctaws; to the north
lay the home Of the Chickasaws,
reaching far up into Western Tenn
essee; the Natchez Indians occupied
territory Of moderate extent, on
the Mississippi River, in the vicinity
Of the city which has their name.
The tribes Of the Chickasaws and
Choctaws are prominently identified
with the region composing the State
OF Mississippi, down to and including
the decade 1S30-1s4O. The country
Of the Chickassws adioined that Of the
Choctaws on the north.

ing to Springfield. These two ladies

CUTS THE PROPERTY TAX
House Passes Bill Reducing Levy
From 10 to 7 Cents.

Jefferson City, July Io.-The house
late today passed bill reducing the
state direct property tax rate from IL
to cents. There was not a dissent
ing vote.
By this action the direct property
tax will be about $4,000 less this
year under the full valuation program
than it was last year. The bill with
an emergency clause affects state
taxes paid this year.
The governor had recommended a
reduction OF the state property rate
to 8 cents.
The farm group in the house at
tempted to ainend\th bill fixing the
rate at E cents but failed.
The houses action on the direct
property rate finishes the tax reduc-
ton program sponsored by the gov
crnor. 1t is believed the senate will
accede to the amendments made by
the house.
The reduction of the state proper
ty rate followed a successful flight of
Representative Lay OF Crawford
County to carry out the governors
program for reducing the state ,n-
come, corporation franchise and in
heritance taxes as we'll as the direct
property tax.

BATES COUNTY ROAD
PETITION DENIED
Road Running East From Butler to
Go to Appleton City.

The State Highway Commission
Wednesday Of last week handet
down its final ruling on the locations
Of the state roads in the various cour.
ties. !,
The road east from Butler was
originally located to run southeast "a
Appleton. Parties in Summit town
ship and at Spruce submitted peti-
tion asking that the route be changed
50 that it would run through the cen
ter of Summit, through Spruce and
Montrose to Clinton. The petition
was by the commission denied and
the Appleton City route was left as
the official state road. This road
will in all probability share III the
100000, 900 road fund voted at tho last
election, that is if the legislature and
the road commission can ever make
up their minds just what kind of
roads to build.

sued yesterday by the Missouri Pub.
lie Service Commission directing i'll
railroads to file statements showing
decreases in operating expenses dur
ing the year.
The commissios has taken the ill.,
itiative in this matter and its action,
according to the order, follows re-
ceipt OF informal complaints that
both passenger and freight rates are
so high at present as to act as a de-
terrent to full use of facilities of the
railroads.
The present rates, authorized BY:
the commission. August 26, 1920, are
effective until September 1, 1921.
The order OF the commission yes,
terday indicates that it believed 4
revision downward should be made
before the present schedules expire. "
The order says that it appears to.
the commission that changes have
been made iii the operation of said
railroads resulting in material de-,
creases in the cost OF such operas
ton
Complaints have been made to the
commission, the order states, "alleg-
ing that the present rates and
charges on live stock and farm prod
ucts tend to restrict the movement OIL
such commodities.
1t is also stated that complaints
have been made alleging that the
present passenger fare. (3.46 cents
per mile) is economically too high,
unreasonable within itself and pre-
vents the full use of defendants IA
cilities.
The order directs that on or before
August 5 the railroad companiesI
shall file detailed statements show
ing the result OF operations for the
first five months OF 1921 as conf
pared with the same months last year

DYNAMITE THE pAssAIc
BANK SAFE


Saturday morning residents Of
Passaic were awakened by an explos-
j ION but not thinking much about it
made no Investigation and it was not
Until about 6:3o that it was found that
the Farmers Bank had been visited
BY safe blowers who had attempted
to blow open tho safe with charge
Of dynamite.
The thieves gained entrance to tae
building through rear window and
from the indications placed two sticks
Of dynamite in the door OF the safe,
which, when it exploded, almost corn
pletely ruined the safe but failed to
open it, and the work Of the safe
blowers went for nothing. The front
windows Of the bank were blown
out and the desk of the cashier. Ed
son Snyder, which stood near the
safe. was damaged somewhat. There
was no clew that might lead to the
apprehension of the would-be rob-
bers.
Mr.. Snyder, who lives few hun
dred yards from the bank and who
was one of those awakened by the ex-
plosion, thinks that the work was
done by amateurs and probably home
talent. A rusty drawing knife, brace
and monkey wrench were found near
the wrecked safe and are supposed TO
be the tools used to get into the
building. ,

professional in Kansas City, was in

Butler started scoring in the Sec
