BROWNSVILLE

Prof and Mrs. s. l.. Stringer OF
Picayune, Miss, who have been
spending several days with Mrs
Stringer's mother, Mrs. John Nc
Nair, returned home the latter part
of last week.
The people of this community
recently voted bonds to build new
school building. The bonds, we
understand, have been sold, and a
committee Is now working on plans
1t is hoped that before Christmas
the school will be in the new build
ing.
f.. l.. Harper, who was recently
operated on at the D'Lo Hospital, is
at home and able to walk about the
house.
Lee Williams and family motored
up from Louin and spent several
days with relatives here last week.
Edgar Wilkins and family OF
Jackson, were out for few days
recreation last week.
Prof. ]. l. Covington and family,
who are moving from Franklinton,
La, to Mansfield, La, are spending
few days with Mrs. Covington's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. e. Harper.
Prof. Covington was for five years,
principal of the school here and is
enjoying the association of friends
of twenty years ago.
School begins on Sept 18th. Mr..
and Mrs. l.. A. Lewis will have
charge again this session. Arrange
ments will be made for school to be
taught In some other building until
the new one is completed, as the
old building will be torn away.
The Baptist young people have
recently organized B. Y. p. u, and
the Methodist Church has organized
an Epworth League. They will each
meet twice month on alternate
Sundays. We are expecting great
deal Of good will result from these
organizations.
Our Beat 5 road man needs TO
get out in this country. Some places
are getting pretty rough, especially
Tumbaloo swamp. Some places are
entirely too narrow. Two vehicles
are unable to pass in many places,
and when it is wet car has hard
time keeping out of the bitches.
Herbert Garrett spent a good part
Of last week in New Orleans purchas-
ing stock of goods. AS he came
back through Jackson he bought a
truck. He will open up general
merchandise business this week In
the store building which he recently
purchased from o. J. Ragland
Cotton is opening rapidly. 1t
seems a little like old times to pass
by the fields and see people picking
the "fleecy staple. The crop. how
ever, is short and the picking will
not last long.
People are beginning to cut hay,
which is fine.
w. d. Ragland was out last Fri
day visiting his father and mingling
with his numerous friends here.
A good many from here are at
tending the protracted meeting at
Monterey this week.

prohibits, after such petition has
been filed, the Supervisors or al.

an election favoring the expenditure

This law requires the Boards OF

Germany 10 Start New
Australian Ship Line
Keen Competition With British,
Companies Is Seen by the
Arrer;rau Co1a,1I
crican GOnaul

Plans of the German Australian
Line for the reopening of its prewar
service between Hamburg and Sydney
are now complete, according to reports
to the United States Department Of
Commerce from the American Con-
sulate at Sydney. The first steamer is
to sail from Hamburg the middle of
June and is due in Australia the 1st
OF August, the date on which the Aus
trelian trading with the enemy act ex-
pires.
The restoration of the German
Australian Line IN this service will
mean keen struggle and perhaps a
rate war with number of British con-
corns, according to the American con-
sui. The competition is expected to be
especially strong in the wool trade, as
the British lines have attempted to Sc
cure all the traffic carried by the for
mer German ships. 1t Is reported also
that foreign organizations which have
grown up recently, will add to the
competition. Whether the representa-
tives Of the German line will be ad-
mitted to the Overseas Steamship
Owners Representatives Association
in Australia is still uncertain.
The feet of the German Australian
Line is said to be one of the most
modern in existence, although smaller
than before the war. All except two
ships have been constructed since 1920.
AT proxent this feet is employed from
Germany to the Dutch East Indies, and
to the West Coast of South America.

Third Trial of Case
This provision for Columbia Univer-
sty figured largely in the contest Of
the will started seven years ago by the
relatives. They produced witnesses to
show that Mr.. Emo, in his lifetime, had
a decided antipathy to Columbia, and
especially to its president, Nicholas
Murray Butler. and it was held that his
strange conduct in bequcathing such a
large sum to the university, in con-
junction with his many other alleged
ccccntricities, proved he was mentally
not competent TO make the viii at the
time of its execution.
The contest lasted many weeks when
when it was tried severd, years ago
before Surrogate Cohalan and a jury.
The jury finally declared in favor Of
the contestants and broke the will. An
appeal was taken 10 the appellate divi-
sion Of the Supreme Court, which body
ordered a new trial which began be-
fore Surrogate James A. Foley and Il
jury in January. A trial lasting thirty
nine days again resulted in verdict
for the contesting relatives, the jury
declaring the will invalid on the ground
that the aged Emo was insane when he
executed the document, but this YER
dict on motion of MIR. Shearn, chief
chounsol for the executors. was set
aside by Surrogate Foley, who ordered
that the case be tried again for the
