Governor Longino's refusal to
convene the Legislature in extra
ordinary session to repeal the val
ned policy clause Of the insurance
laws. has been the topic of discus
sion around the State house and
among the business men of the
ity since yesterday.
The consensus of opinion re-
garding the matter is to the effect
that the arguments put forth by
the governor are unanswerable, and
this opinion is held not only by the
men who were opposed TO the extra
session, but also among those who
favored it and believed that the
session could offer the desired re-
lief.
1t is admitted that the session, if
called, would have been useless,
owing 20 the fact that over two
thirds Of the members were OPP
posed 10 repeating the valued
policy clause. except as pertained
to cotton. while on the other hand
the Leading insurance companies
were equally firm in declaring that
they would not write blanket poll
cies with only the cotton clause re-
pealed. Under these circumstances
the situation would not have been
relieved by a partial repeal, and
the governor realized the futility
of converting the body at heavy
expense to the taxpayers.
1t is conceded in all quarters
that the governor has followed a
consistent and straightforward
course throughout; that be was
anxious to remedy the trouble if il
was in his power to do so, and
since this has been found impos-
sible, the difficulty must be settled
by some other method.
The opinion is ventured by q
mum Der of persons thoroughly con-
versant with the insurance bust.
ness that the question will now
settle itself if left alone, and no.
body looks for any serious Grip
ping of bushes or impeachment in
handling the cotton crop simply
because the insurance companies
have seen fit to assume an arbitrary
position, and by some it is pre-
dicted that the companies will sOor
be writing blanket policies regard

Governor Longino, nor the peo-
pie. nor the trusts ever believed
the insuranc situation threatened
disaster to the business interests of
the State Everybody knew that
insurance could be secured for ev-
cry bale of cotton produced in
Mississippi and suspected the mo-
tive that was behind the howl for
an extra session of the legislature.
Governor Longino could not have
done less than refuse to call il and
since he has done so, insurance
companies are arranging to issue
blanket policies on cotton stored

ulous TO represent so valuable a

The Governors Position.

In spite Of the very great disap-
pointment that the refusal of Gov
ernor Longino To call together an
session of the legis-
lature to consider the insurance
will occasion many peo-
pie. the governor will be rather
generally upheld for his determin-
alton not to compromise the State
unlesss the insurance combine
would consent to also make some
compromises.
The statements of the general
agents to him that the companies
would not accept anything short
of unconditional surrender nat
urally is an insult to the people of
Mississippi, and perhaps largely
influenced the governor to take a
stand against involving the State
in a useless expenditure of time
and money.
Had the insurance companies
shown disposition to treat with
the State and meet the business
sense of the commonwealth on 8
fair and just basis another story
might have been written. But this
disposition to demand surrender
without terms was known to the
members of the house and senate
and under such circumstances
they were not Wiling to commi
themselves to a repeal of the Law
in toto. Meridian Star.

From Paducah.

The musical program at the First
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
yesterday, both morning and even
ing, were OF an unusually high
order. The song and praise service
at night was a success from
every standpoint, and the large
audience present was loud in its
expressions of appreciation. Be-
sides the anthems, which were ad-
m1rably rendered by the choir, the
hymns were very much enjoyed by
all. The feature of giving brief
history of the hymns and a BIZ
ographical sketch of the author,
while somewhat of an innovation,
proved very interesting and profit
able feature Of the service.
The success of the service was
largely due to the perseverance and
efficiency Of Mrs. G. H. Sheriff., the
leader of the choir, and her solo
work in the anthems was of an un-
usually high order. Mrs. W. t.
Miller, who has been secured as
organist, presided at the organ
with her usual degree of efficiency.
An unusually large audience was
also in attendance upon the morn
ing service, and, taken all in all, it
was one OF the best days in the his
tory OF the work under the present
pastorate. -Paducah Sun.

RECORD OF DEATHS.
JOHN E. EVANS.

John z. Evans, one of the Older
citizens Of the county, passed away
Sunday morning at 7 o'clock at his
home in Troy, aged Is years. Mr..
Evans had been Ia feeble health fol
some time, and the immediate cause
of his death was heart failure.
The deceased was native Of
Williamson county, near Franklin,
and emigrated with his faths7
Benjamin Evans, and family tt
West Tennessee when Is years. o
age. His first wife, the mother d
his children, was Miss Mary Elizat
beth Wellington, to whom he was
married while a young man. AT
that time his home was near Beth
lehem. three miles northeast of the
city. At one time he was engaged
in sawmilling and accidentally lost
a leg while operating the machint
cry. Some years afterwards he
became candidate for Register OF
the county, and was elected and
served several terms, moving to
Troy. That was about thirty-one
years ago. His family, composed
of four sons and two daughters,
was reared principally at that place.
His first wife died in the early
eighties, and after the lapse of sew
eral years he was united ia mar
rage to Mrs. Hollomon, of near
Kenton, who survives him.
Mr.. Evans was pleasant, affable,
whole-hearted gentleman, strong in
temperament, but gentle in his ma
ture. He was for many years
member Of the c. P. Church and a
thorough Christian. We knew him
we'll. He always greeted us with
smile and cordial handshake. Of
his death the records will say that
he was an honest man and a good
citizen, and that is the highest trib-
ute which can be paid.
Services were held Monday morn
ing at the C. p. Church in Troy,
by the pastor, Rev, D. T.
after which the remains
we're escorted over the road to Beth
chem, northeast of town, where
nterment took place in the family
ourying ground. Among the rela-
ives present at the funeral were
