WORMS DEVASTATING WOODS
AND TREES NORTH OF CITY
Over A Mile Along Roadway Appears
Now As If 1t Was the Dead
Of Winter.

On the old Brookhaven and Wes-
son road just as 1t turns north after
going by Montgomery, the entire
strip of woods for over a mile appears
now, in the early fall, when most
trees are still full Of foliage, as If
1t was the dead Of winter and as tho
snow or thiclc~ice had visited that
immediate section SO threadbare of
foliage are all of the trees along the
highway.
Even the Oldest residents of the
particular vicinity referred to, as
we'll as those of the general section
OF country, express no knowledge of
such happening heretofore, and the
only solution so far given by any one
is that the Army Worm is the cause
Of the devastation. The army worm
has already visited many of Lincoln's s
cotton fields and stripped them of
their foliage and seems determined
not to stop at anything it can de-
stroy.

Rebuilding of A. H. S. Ordered by
Boards of Supervisors.

The members of the boards of SUI
pervisors of Copiah and Lincoln coun-
ties, the school boards of each of the
counties, and the trustees of the Co
piah-Lincoln A. H. S., at Wesson,
had joint meeting the day Of the
fire and all weer unanimous in a
desire to rebuild the $4,000 three
story brick dormitory for the girls,
which was destroyed by fire early in
the day. Soon after the meeting was
called to order and its purpose ex-
planned the contract was let for the
rebuilding of the dormitory. 1t will
be duplicate of the one burned.
The architect has placed orders for
the material for the building.
The insurance representatives were
present, adjusted claims and paid the
full amount of the insurance, $780,
900. There was no insurance on the
contents of the building.
1t is expected that the new build
ing will be completed in four months.
In the meantime tents have been pro-
cured from Brookhaven and tempo
rary quarters will be provided in
them for the boys while the girls
will occupy the two dormitories for
the boys and the school will reopen
Oct 9Th, when it is expected every
one of the two hundred boarding
girls, who had such narrow escape
in the fire will return.
Brookhaven women and Whit
worth College are preparing to send
clothing and dry goods to the school
for those girls whose loss was so
heavy they are unable to replace it
and return to school.
The school had never begun ses-
sion in finer spirit and the calamity
that came was great shock, but one
over which the dauntless courage of
the people quickly asserted itself.
They are willing to bear their part
of the loss rather than submit to
permanent defeat of the plans and
purposes that inspired the projection
of the A. H. S.

Mrs. R. c. Dye Loses Mother by
Death.

Mrs. Francena Terry Cox aged 81,
widow of the late Austin Cox OF
County Line, Copiah County, died at
noon Saturday at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. r. c. Dye, in Brook
/ haven.
For the past six years Mrs. Cox
had been crippled from a stroke of
paralysis and two subsequent falls
resulted in such serious injuries as
to confne her to a wheeled chair.
In spite of her disabled condition,
Mrs. Cox was cheerful and enjoyed
fair degree of health. She was ac-
customed to spend the greater part
of each year here with her daughter,
Mrs. Dye. She had been here only
two weeks however, when she suf-
fred the second stroke of paralysis
which resulted in her death within
the following hour.
Mrs. Cox had been reading and
was in the act of writing to son in
Jackson when stricken. Her death
was peaceful and seemed but passing
into sleep.
Mrs. Cox had been a member of
the Baptist church at County Line,
her lifetime home, from the age OF
thirteen. She was a devoted Chris
tian whose life was an inspiration to
others up to her last moments. No
complaints of her physical disability
ever escaped her lips.
In addition to her own family of
eleven, Mrs. Cox filled the place of
mother to two nephews of her hus-
hand, Messrs. ]. A. and o. A. Cox of
Crystal Springs, and to a grandson,
Whitworth Hart, of Texarkana, Ark.
who came into her care at the age of
five days through his mothers death.
The children who survive Mrs. Cox
are Mrs. r. c. Dye of this city; Mrs.
M. ]. Cox of Doddsville; Mrs. G. l..
Jarnigan, of Laurel; j. r. Cox of
Jackson and H. P. Cox of Ferris,
Tex. Her husband died eighteen
months ago.
A short service was held at Mrs.
Dyes home at one thirty Sunday by
Rev. j.. A. Taylor. The scripture
reading happened to include the
twenty-third Psalm, which, the min
lister was later told, was the favorite
selection of the deceased.
Funeral services were held at
County Line church at 4:30 the
same afternoon with the Reverend
Harrington, pastor of Mrs. Cox, off,
ciating, and interment was made
there.
Much sympathy is felt for the
members of the Dye family here and
others beeraved in the passing of this
noble Christian mother and grand
mother.

Soviets Demand Recognition
In Settling Turk Troubles

LONDON. Sept. 1.-THE danger of
a combination of Soviet Russia and
Turkey in the Near East. of which
Henry Morgenthau. former American
Ambasad dor to Turkey warned, is now
openly threatened.
Russia's note to Great Britain .oaf-
firming the intention of the Soviets
to support Turkey in her attempt to
recover the empire. injects the Boil
sheviks into the situation.
Soviets Exprsss Sympathy.
The Soviets express sympathy with
the Turks, praise their heroic struG-
gle" and warn that any settlement
without Russia will not be considered
valid.
Also. the Bolshevik government de-
mands that the Dardanelles be closed
to allied warShips.
Great Britain is strengthening her
military forces at Constantinople with
new troops from Malta. The dispatch
of these reinforcements came stimuli
taneously with reports that the Turk
are about to make an attempt to cross
the straits and carry their war into
Thrace. This would without doubt in
volve the allies directly in the con-
flict.
Premier Lloyd George is to pre-
side at the cabinet meeting tomorrow
when the situation will be discussed
The government hopes that by then
it will have been advised by Franco
whether that country prefers to act
separately or as member of the
entente in dealing with the crisis.

The tour will be made either late
in November or early in December.
In the party will be Hugo SHINES.

invited by the French government,
which will pilot them through the
war-torn districts under official au-
spices. the Intransigient says.
French Industrial leaders will also
participate in the tours of inspec-
tiOn.
The visits are regarded as pre-
liminary to negotiations between
German Industrial interests and
France, such as was recently con-
cluded between SHINES and Senator

operative societies in the liberated
regions. Under this plan SHINES

The arrangement enables Germany
