A motor. truck in which Mingee jand McLemore left Picayune Thurs- day on a hunting trip was found dam- aged and deserted last night in Hat- tiesburg, Miss., 60 miles from the place where the bodies were located. Sheriff Arthur Smith, of Pearl River county, learned that an unidentified white gasoline and man purchased foud in McNeil several hours -after: the Picayune men are thought to have, been slain. Thi¢ man was riding in. the stolen truck. He is believed by officers to have been one of a party of rum runners who killed and robbed Mingee and McLemore because they thought the hunters were prohibition agents. This theory remains to be proved. Mingee and McLemore were gradu- ates of Mississippi A. & M. College, and are survived by their widows and one child each. They had been de- tailed by the Bureau of Entonomol- ogy of the department of agricuture | to stop the ravages of the sweet po-_ tato weevil in this section. Mingee was a native of Starkville, Miss., and McLemore was reared at Pittsboro. Both were active in civic and church affairs. —————— President of Rotary. i ‘WORLD'S FAMOUS PIANIST DUE HERE TODAY FROM CUBA | IGNACE PADEREWSKI SPENDS | MUCH TIME IN FLORIDA PRIOR | TO LEAVING ON TRIP TO HAVANA | Ignace Paderewski, the world’s ‘most famous pianist, who passed through this city Tuesday en route to Havana, will arrive on the steamship Cuba this afternoon from the Cuban capital to take the northbound train.

When these engineers report “we shall be glad to give the exact location of each unit in the new ad- | dition to the Seaboard Air Line and their relations to the system,”’ he said. “As has been said, the construction, the leased lines, the trackage and the cut offs to which allusion has been made, are designed to mould all lines of the Seaboard Air Line Railway into a compact railway system. We are shortening the mileage to two- thirds of the important points reach- ed to that point.
