BY SLIM SMITH [email protected]

Tronox Corp. has filed suit against the Federal Trade Com- mission, claiming the regulatory body is deliberating delay- ing action in an effort to block the mining/ chemical company’s Cassisa Jr. efforts to complete a sale which would more than double its sales of titanium dioxide (TiO2). Oxford attorney Paul Cassisa Jr. filed the suit on behalf of Quinn Tronox on Tuesday in U.S. District Court of Northern Mississippi in Aberdeen. The suit is asking the court for injunctive relief against the FTC that would require Luisa Porter/Dispatch Staff the FTC to either file an injunction Darienne Crosby and her cheer partner, Cody North, hype up the crowd inside Humphrey Coliseum during the Mississippi State that would allow Tronox to argue University women’s basketball game against Florida Thursday. MSU women are 21-0 for the first time in program history after its case before the court or rule the the 90-53 victory. Crosby is a senior marketing major from Picayune. North is a senior business finance major from Tremont. See Sports for full coverage, 1B. FTC has no basis for contesting the sale. The suit claims the FTC has abandoned its normal practices by failing to act on the company’s acquisition by keeping the case mired in administrative limbo in order to Police release video of armed robbery suspect “run out the clock” until the purchase agreement expires on May Masked man after receiving reports that a 21. black male entered the store In February, Tronox announced suspected of armed armed with a handgun and it had agreed to purchase Saudi demanded money.

Letter to the editor Voice of the people Illegal aliens and government shutdown Since when does breaking the law give you a right? I thought laws were to protect the citizens. Somewhere that has changed. All the dreamers have had many years to become legal. I am confused why there is a outcry now. I don’t think the government will remove them, that not logical or realistic. I do think we, the American citizens, have a right to be protected. We are a nation of laws, to be obeyed by all, not a few. That includes the elected elites. Term limits sound better each day. But, it’s all Trumps’ fault. I agree. The stock market is in uncharted territory, unemployment at an all time low, industry is reinvesting money in America and a new confidence is in the U S of A but, that’s all Trumps fault. Maybe that not a bad thing. Government shut down: The elite in Wash- ington could care less. Their checks are not effected. They are fat and happy either way. Some there care more about the illegal alien than they do about our military or our law abiding citizens. Some are concerned about their voting base -illegal or not - just keep me at the government trough so I can feather my nest. Enough already. The problem the government has is, if you are not spending your money, the responsibility changes. A public official is supposed to represent the citizen. That is not the case most of the time. There are those that realize THE NATION why they are there, but it is rare. I have the greatest respect for those elected officials. God bless them.

By Brett Hudson [email protected]

STARKVILLE — Lamar Peters appeared to lock up a starting spot by averaging 12.3 points and handing out 4.6 assists in the Mississippi State men’s basketball team’s first three games. But a three-game suspension for a violation of team rules cost Peters his position as a starter — until Tuesday night. In a 78-65 loss to Kentucky, Peters had nine points and five assists in his first start in 14 games. His return to the starting lineup gives MSU (14-6, 2-5 Southeastern Confer- ence) a different dynamic as it prepares to play host to Missouri (13-7, 3-4) at 7:30 p.m. Saturday (SEC Network). Peters started against the Wildcats in place of sophomore guard and former Starkville High Luisa Porter/Dispatch Staff School standout Tyson Carter, but MSU coach Mississippi State junior center Teaira McCowan had a game-high 23 points Thursday night to help her eclipse Ben Howland said the move had more to do with 1,000 points for her career.

STARKVILLE — Troy Buckley knows what to do with players like Konnor Pilkington. Buckley has spent 15 years with the Long Beach State baseball program, including the last seven as its coach. For two years, Buckley also worked as the Pittsburgh Pirates’ minor league pitching coordinator. Last summer, he served as the pitching coach for the USA Baseball Collegiate Team, which is where he had a chance to meet Pilkington Pilkington, who was preparing for his junior season with the Mississippi State baseball team. Buckley’s work in professional and college baseball has taught him that a quality changeup can be a game-changer. Pilkington hopes to put the lessons he learned from Buckley to good use starting today, when MSU officially opens practice for the 2018 season. “I will throw (the changeup) more. I throw it all the time,” Pilkington said. “I needed the confidence to throw it more. I really put forth the effort to throw it more, get more depth out of it, get more life out of it. Throwing it more is really Luisa Porter/Dispatch Staff going to help me.” Mississippi State senior Victoria Vivians had 17 points Thursday night on her Senior Night.
