BLACKWELL CASE
CLOUDED WITH
MYSTERY
Much Speculation As To The Outcome
Of The Case When it Goes To Trial
He Remains Silent.

Mystery shrouds the Carl Blackwell
case as Blackwell remains in the La
fayette county Jail, and is as dumb as
an oyster when it comes to talking
about his case. He has been in the
county Jail since Jan. z. He has not
asked for trial, or will not talk about
the case one way or the other.
1t is said that letters, signed TX. K.
K.', are locked in big safe in Ok
ford, and that the contents of these
letters have bearing to some extent
to the crime Blackwell is charged
with. In other words, it is said that
the letters will be introduced in court
when his case is tried.
1t is understood that Mr.. George
Mitchell of Tupelo. has been engaged
to defend young Blackwell, while Dis
trict Attorney R. H.SKnox will be on
hand to represent the State whenever
Blackwell gets good and ready to
stand trial for the crime which he is
charged with. arson. 1t is also under
stood that the State is losing no time
in gathering evidence bearing on the
case, and that the trial will be one of
sensational nature Much interest
is being centered on the trial. as there
are runnors that there NAV be Sec
ond party brought into the matter,
this. thodgh. is mere rumor.
The Eaple will have a stenographer
at the trial and the full proceedings,

Work On Derrick Will Be Resumed AT

The matter has been definitely set

New men with plenty Of capital are
on the ground and will remain here
until test well has been put down.
This is the first time in the history
of the oil development in Oxford
fields that the matter has been def
nitely settled, regarding the sinking
of test well. Much has been said
but little done up to this time. The
first start was made few weeks age

capital to put the project through t.

There is no more doubling that the
well will be pushed on down, down
down to oil, by those who are in posi-
ton to know whereof they speak.

Oxford to know at an early date
whether there is oil here or not art
exceedingly bright, and the prospects
for oil are said by expert geologists
to be exceptionally good.

Other parties are in communication
with parties here owning severa
thousands acres of leases out on VOC
coma River. It is believed that anoth
er new concern will be in the field il
the near future, and that test wei
will be put down in that section.
It is said that the indications ou
there are good, and the fact that ga
deposits have been struck in that sec
! tion in deep wells strengthens tn,
belief that oil underlies that section

FORD RETAIL SALES
GO OVER MILLION.
Show Increase Of 10000 Cars and
Trucks Over Previous Year

| Retail sales Of Ford cars, trucks and
Fordson tractors have again exceeded
the million mark for the year 1921,
according to a statement given out
today by the Ford Motor Company.
The Ford factory and assembly
plant production figures reached a
total of 1,05O,74O cars, trucks and
tractors for the year, with retail sales
by dealers approximating 1908, 900,
which in the United States alone sur
passed the 1920 retail sales record by
104,213 Ford cars and trucks.
The Ford Company says the out
look for 1922 is decidedly optimistic.
In fact, concrete evidences already
exist in that car and truck retail sales
for December, 1921, exceeded Decem-
Der 1920 sales by almost 25 per cent,
and Fordson tractor retail sales for
the same periods show an increase OF
over 100 percent for December 1921,
as well as an increase over the total
tractor sales for the month Of Novem-
Der.
These facts seem to indicate that not
only are the farmers buying more
freely, but that the general public is
becoming more responsive and re-
ceptive.
:.
Another point brought out by COM
parison of production figures for the
past two years shows that Ford en-
closed cars are gaining in popularity,
as 23 per cent of the 1921 production
were Sedans and Coupes as against
a total of Is per cent for the year
previous.
Recent productions in Ford car and
truck prices brought them to a new
low level. The Touring car now sells
for $348, the Runabout for $319, the
Coupe for $3.50, the Sedan for seas
the Chassis for $285, and the Truck
for $3.50, all F. o. b. Detroit.
This is the fourth price cut in the
past sixteen months During that
time the price of the touring car alone
has been cut from s575 tds34s, re-
duction of 40 per cent. Reductions on
some Of the other types have been
even greater.
The Ford Company believes that
this reduction, while not a large one,
is especially important at this time as
it should go along way toward stabi-
lizing market conditions.
Ford is giving employment at pres
ent to approximately 10000 men in
his main plant at Detroit, the import
ance Of which is emphasized when
consideration is given to the fact that
nearly 20 per cent of the city's pop
|ulation is directly dependent upon the
Ford Motor Company.

PREVENTING ENFORCEMENT
OF FUTURES ACT AS TEST

Chicago, Oct. 30.-Lack of proper
cooperation by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in the con
sideration of national legislation is
charged in report by the legislative
committee of the principal grain ex-
changes of the country The report
was made public this evening.
The report was a factor in the
filing of petition by the Chicago
Board of Trade for an injunction re-
straining the government form en-
forcing the grain futures act, and an
order preventing enforcement of the
law pending hearing on the petit
tion November 13 was issued by Fed
eral Judge Carpenter. This action
is the first step on the part of the
grain exchange to test the constitu-
tionality of the law.
The committee, in the report
which covers a two-year period of
Legislative turmoil, outlines evidence
placed before the Senate Agriculture
Committee, which it declared showed
clearly the unsoundness of the law

tional.

HUGHES CALLS FOREIGN
POLICY OF U. S. SIMPLE
Nation Covets No Territory But
Wants Trade Opportunities.

Cleveland, Nov. 4.-Principles of
American foreign policy were de-
scribed as Simply and readily stat
ed," here tonight by Secretary
Hughes, speaking before an election
mass meeting in support of the can
didacy of Representative Fess for the
Senate.
1--WE do not covet any territory
anywhere in Gods broad earth,''
Mr.. Hughes declared. 1--WE are not
seeking a sphere Of special economic
influence and endeavoring to control
others for our aggrandizemcnt We
are not seeking special privileges
anywhere at the expense of others.
eve wish to protect the just and
equal rights Of Americans every
where in the world Wo wish to
maintain equality of commercial op-
portunity; aC we call it, the open
door. That is not derogation of
anybody else: the door is just as open
to Others as it is to us. Equality
means equality.
''It does not mean privilege. We
desire to see peaceful settlements.
We are most desirous to see the
world starting again on o sound eco
nomic basis, with every people in
spired by hope and girded to the
highest achievements in the interest
of their prosperity. Wherever we
have had 4 chance to promote peace
fGl settlements in this troubled world
we have taken it,"
Mr.. Hughes called attention to the
arbitral adjustment between Panama
and Costa Rica; the ratification Of
the treaty with Columbia; the Chile
and Peru negotiations Sin the friend
ly atmosphere of Washington, and
the forthcoming Central American
arms limitation conference in Wash
ington as illustrative of the American
purpose and effort. At more length
he drew the picture of the Washing
ton conference on Limitation of arma-
mont and the paralleling Far East
ern adjustments.
As a result of the general atmo-
sphere of the Washington conference,
Mr.. Hughes said, China end Japan
had found it possible "to settle the
serious Shan+ung controversy" al
though that question was not a part
of conference proceedings.
