These young ladies were each greet
ed with applause as the diplomas were
presented, and the platform fronting
them was soon banked with exquisite
floral gifts from their friends.
The exercises were concluded by Miss
Brown singing annie Laurie" and a
chorus song by several of the music pu-
pills. And then Gov. Longino complied
with the request of President Kincan-
non to lay the first brick in the founda-
| of the new hall and dormitory.
The new buildings will be in readi-
ness for the opening of the next ses-
sion, September 81, and they will be
ample for fully $50 students, and more
than that number will apply for admis-
sion. Another building is much needed
music hall.
The faculty is composed of President
Kincannon, who fills the chair of Polit-
ical Economy and Civics, and nineteen
ladies, experienced and accomplished
in their several departments. Several
OF them are already on their way to
Europe for recreation and study, and
others will spend two months or more
in special schools in this country.
The enrolment for the session Just
closed was 400, with a higher per cent.
OF attendance than at any session since
the college opened on the 22d day of
October, 1885.
No college president was ever more
respected and beloved by his co workers
and students than is the present presi-
lent of the Industrial Institute and
College.
Judlcinry-The Noel Amendments
to he Tested.
The following special to Clarion
Ledger is an interesting statement of
exceedingly important question, the
of which will be awaited with
interest:
BRooKHAvEN, May 1.-THE Noel
amendments for an elective judiciary
declared void here this forenoon
by Hon. Thomas Brady, Jr., sitting as
> special judge to try the quo war
ranto proceedings brought by Attorney
General McClurg in the name of the
State of Mississippi, to discover by what
right Hon. Robert Powell, the sitting
judge of the Seventh District,
claimed the title to that office. Judge
Brady held that they were void on two
counts first, hat they were improperly
submitted in that they contained more
a one change, alteration or amend
nent in violation Of the constitution,
second, that they had not received
! majority of the votes cast by the
qualified electors, as also required by
he constitution.
Inc State was represented by Hon.
Monroe McClurg and Judge Powell was
IDLY represented by Hon. r. Fl. Thomp-
on, of the firm of Neville e. Thomp-
on, of jackson. Each made a power
III presentation of his side of the case,
10Th filed lengthy papers and docu-
nents in support of their contention.
The encouragement alledged that
Judge Powell unlawfully holds and ex-
'rcises the functions of a civil public
'fhcer In said State, namely: the Office
II circuit judge of the Seventh judicial
district of said State; that he is now
lnlawfully holding a regular term of
he circuit court for Lincoln county, in
aid judicial district, and is unlawfully
aud exercising the functions
the judge of said court in said coun-
y; wherefore, the State of Mississippi,
y the said encouragement, prays
hat the said Robert Powell may be
emoved from the said office and de-
Jared from exercising the functions
and that he be ordered to de-
iver over all records, books and papers
n his custody, or under his control, be-
to said office, and that he paw
he costs.
Mr.. Thompson in a lengthy paper
ecited that the Noel amendments we're
old because improperly submitted and
Or failure to receive a majority of the
cast at the election of 1899 as re-
uired by the constitution itself. He
