A Bill Of Information Against Insurance
Companies.

Acknowledgement Nash has filed with
the clerk OF the Kinds county circuit
court a bill Of information" against
the thirty-one old-line fire insurance
companies doing business in Missis-
sippi, and who admit allegiance to the
Southeastern Tariff Association. They
are charged with having violated the
antitrust laws Of the State by entering
into a pool or combination to maintain
a fixed rate for insurance, and are thus
members OF a trust or combine within
the meaning Of the Mississippi statute.
The encouragement asks for a judg-
ment OF forfeiture OF franchise against
all such companies domiciled in Missis-
sippi, and Of all right to do business in
the State against nonresident compa.

case will m in the circuit court

Uniform Text Books.

This Is Il of the important subjects
to be considered by the legislature. A
selection is to be made for the next five
years-whether By a commission for the
entire State or by each county, being the
question. The sentiment for a uniform
series for the State appears to be grow
ing. Tennessee has recently adopted
this policy, and we have reliable and
official information to the effect that
the saving is fully forty percent, which
means a hundred thousand dollars or
more to those who have to buy schools
books. A contract for the entire State
means very close competition and very
lowest prices.
The commission to select the books
and award the contracts should be com
posed of the State superintendent. at
torney-general, and fourteen expert
enced, up-to.date teachers of the public
schOols-two from each congressional
dlstrict-seven gentlemen and seven
ladies-and they should have ample
time and have their expenses paid
examining all the books that
might be offered in the competition.
OF course there will be publishers and
their agents ready to jump on this
proposition, but the wisdom and econ
Dmy of a uniform series for the safe
are self-evident propositions.

A negro named Camille Calais
was murdered a little above Breaux
Bridge, on Monday the 26th of
March and his body thrown in the
bayou. The Coronor's inquest
showed that the body was mutila-
ted, and the impression is that he
was killed with heavy stick, and
to concealed the crime the body
was thrown in the bayou, where it
was found Sunday morning last,
nearly week after. Four negroes
were arrested by the sheriff, on
suspicion and jailed here. but they
were released Wednesday by the
court.
