cussion, today, of a resolution of in
quiry offered by Mr.. Pettigrew, S. D.,
some sensational statements were made
in the Senate regarding the attitude OF
the United States toward the Filipino
insurgents. Mr.. Pettigrew declared
that this government had attacked its
allies and thereby had been guilty OF
the grossest treachery. This state
ment was resented warmly by MI.
Lodge, Mass, who declared that this
government had done nothing of the
kind and that, not even remotely had
ii recognized the so-called government
of the Filipinos.
Mr.. Morgan, Dem. Ala, discussed at
length the race question in the South,

offered by Mr. Pritchard. Rep. y. G.
He deemed il Imperative that The same
course should be adopted which would
prevent Il repetition Of the HayeS-Til-

and that the main object in making the
purchase is to use the lakes controlled
by this water privilege in the water

With this privilege sold out from

of the Kent's Hill school will have to

the trustees further, besides having the

This venerable and universally be-
loved citizen and jurist died at his
home in Oxford at 1880 on Monday, the
I'd instant. He was in his Goth year,
having been born in Iredell county,
North Carolina, March 25, 1911. He re-
moved to Tishomingo county, Missis-
sippi, in 1855, and was associated with
Judge J. T. Arnold in the practice of
law. He was elected to the convention
in 1865 which assembled pursuant to
the call of Provisional Governor Shar-
KEY. During that or the following
year he was appointed Federal judge
for Mississippi, and continued until a
few years ago, when he voluntarily re-
signed. 1t was fortunate for the State
that he occupied this position during
reconstruction times. There are scores
and scores who would have been perse-
cuted by Imprisonment and contisca-
ton, who remember his kindly inter
ference in their behalf. He was a
trustee of the State University for
many years, and at the opening of each
session it was his custom to greet the
old students and welcome the new.
Judge Hill was a Christian of deep
piety, and was ready when the Supreme
Judge of heaven and earth summoned
him into His presence.
