GOVERNOR LEADS HUNT FOR SLAYER
Farm Hand Kills Employ CT And Wounds Two
 Others

SUMMIT, Miss, Aug. 10--George Mackey, farm hand, who ran amuck yesterday, killing Mrs. William Bolian, his employer, the widowed mother of eight children; wounding her 15-year- old daughter, Fannie, and Henry Car yer, a neighbor youth, tonight was be- ing hunted by, a large posse with blood hounds.
 The daughter on whom Mackey is said to have attempted to force his attentions, and Carver were in Me Comb hospital with slight chances of recovery, according to attending physi- clans. Both were shot through the stomach.
 Governor Whitfield arrived here to- day and took personal direction of the operations of the search for the mur- derer and offered reward of $500 for his, capture. Feeling against Mackey is intense and many residents of the countryside have joined the posse headed by Sheriff Guy.
 Bloodhounds arrived today and were immediately taken to the Bolian farm, ( few miles from here. They at once picked up a train that led through the Bogue Chitto swamps, ten miles north west of Summit, to the home of a rela- tive of Mackey, and from there to a church, some distance away, where the trail was lost. Word received here tonight said the pursuit was still in progress.
 Funeral services for Mrs. ,Bolian were held here this afternoon.

MINE EXPLOSION
 IS INITIATED
English Experimenters Demon strate Force Of Dust Blast
(By Associated Press)

MILLION, England, Aug. 1O.-Close1 cooperation between the Safety in Mine Research Board of Great Britain and the United States Bureau of Mines will be hastened by the results of work at the experimental station at Esk. meals, Cumberland, said Dr. Foster Bain, director of the United States Mines Bureau, after q recent visit tC the Cumberland station.
 A remarkable demonstration of a coal dust explosion was witnessed. Coal dust was strewn along the floor and or shelves inside the explosion gallery for a distance of $50 feet. The gallery is cylindrical, 750 feet long, seven feet six inches in diameter and constructed of half-inch iron. Pit props were placed inside to make conditions ap, proximate those in mines when ex- plosions occur.
 A cannon was placed under the gal lery at the center and fired into the dust zone. A great explosion followed the flames travelling along the inside of the gallery and into the open air al q speed of 1000 feet a second. The pit props were sent flying in all directions while a great volume of smoke and dust rose to a height of several hun dred feet.
 Another explosion was staged under similar conditions, but with stone dust minimizd the force of the explosion to such a degree that the pressure exerted was almost negligible as compared with the great pressure exerted when the coal dust alone exploded.

World Records Were Broken In Building old Hickory

ahead of contract requirements.
 The plant was named for President Andrew Jackson, whose home is only two miles away. It Is believed, by natives, that when Andrew. Jackson lived on plantation outside of Nashville, his log cabin stood on what afterwards became the site of the nitric acid unit of the Old Hick- ory plant.
 The Tennessee location was chosen because of requirements that the fac tory be q certain distance from the coast for strategic reasons.
 4,7O6 Acres In Site.
 For the site of the plant, the gov ernment acquired 1, 4,706 acres of farm land. To this site, the railroads and highways had to be built In addi- ton to such facilities, a Altering plant with capacity large enough to supply a city the size of Cleve- land with water, was built to sup ply the village, constructed for the employees.
 This village itself sprang up like a mushroom. Occupying 560 acres, it is composed of modern homes with paved streets and sewerage systems, street cars and all other modern con veniences all constructed within the ten months from the time of award ing the contract until the signing of the armistice. The Old Hickory plant was sold in 1920 by the government to the Nashville Industrial corpora tion.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 10.- The Old Hickory Powder plant, 50 buildings, of which, were destroyed by fire near here today, constructed by the government during the war for the manufacture of munitions, was the largest project of its kind ever attempted.
 The original plans called for an expenditure of $S5,O00,000 for the purpose of building a powder factory with 75 times the capacity of the largest smokeless powder plant in the United States before the war. The plant was to have had, when completed, a daily out put of 900,000 pounds of smokeless powder. The plant was to be divided into nine com plete units, each with daily capacity of 100000 pounds.
 Nearly Finished.
 The contract for this work was given to the Dupont company on January 29, 1918, and when the armistiee was signed the work was 93 per cent complete. When con- Struction was stopped, the work was 96 days ahead of schedule. Ground was broken for the plant on March s, and on July 2, the first powder was manufactured. This established a worlds record for speed. The pro- duction of powder at the plant be- fore the cessation of hostilities was 35,900,OO0 pounds. At the signing of the armistice, the production of powder was 100000 pounds

 Throughout the day, more than a thousand men searched the hills and valleys of Jefferson> county while hun dreds of others, who were taking the day from labor, guarded roads in the district.
 Motorists who visited the section were forced to stop and submit to search. No negroes were allowed to enter the territory and none was al- lowed to leave.
 Negro Is Shot
 During the day minor alterations were reported between whites and blacks. One negro, said to have been James Townn, a jitney driver, at tempted to pass an armed group of citizens, and was brought to a halt by gunfire directed at the tires of his car. Another, whose name was not divulged, was shot through the hand. He was given first aid on the spot.
 The entire district has become an armed camp. Systematic search of the homes of negroes has been going on through the day and night, and at in tervals, return visits are paid by posse men to various houses where, it is suspected Milton might find refuge.
 Scores of negroes who have sought to leave the district have been halted on the roads and forced to return to their homes. They have been assured that every safeguard will be afforded them and that there is no danger for those who are innocent of connection with AIilton's continued success in lodging the possemen. Feeling among the blacks against Milton is said to be run ming as high as it is among the man. hunters.
 During the day rumors flew thick and fast that Milton was in Besseme,, in Ensley, in Pratt City, anywhere, every where. In each instance these rumors were investigated and in turn exploded.

NAVY DANGEROUSLY WEAK
Writer Cites The Late Sir Henry VII
 sons Preparedness Philosophy

To
 sons Preparedness Philosophy
 The whole philosophy of armed pre- paredness is epitomized in a speech which an eminent British soldier, the late Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, made to his countrymen a few weeks before his death in 1922, and which I shall venture to paraphrase as follows |:
 Tt has always seemed to me that the primary duty of a navy is to prevent war. know no cheaper way of con ducting the business of a state than of conducting it in q profound peace. On of the ways of doing this is to have q navy sufficiently strong to prevent war.
 But if a state cannot, for reasons of policy, prevent a war, then the next duty of a navy is to win the war. To win war is terribly expensive thing, both in men and money. Therefore, it is infinitely cheaper to have a force which will prevent g war rather than to have a force which, if it has to go tS war, could even win the war.
 But there is q third possibility which is, to have navy not sufficiently strong to prevent war, not yet suf- ficently strong to win the war-but one just sufficiently weak to lose the war"
 Thata in the writer's estimation, is precisely the kind of third navy" which the United States is maintaining to- day,-A Student of Sea Power, in the Atlantic Monthly,
