From the
StateCapitol.

EDITOR FREE PkEss: Will you
kindly grant me little space in
your valuable paper? If so, I
would like to submit to your
readers some facts and figures
concerning the Legislature now
in session. Of course it is need
less for me to say that "facts"
are few and the Figures" are
many. This being a special ses-
sion, no measure can be consid-
cred except appropriation and
revenue measures only upon the
recon mendation of the Govern
or. The Constitutional Amend
ment passed at the last session
of the Legislature and ratified by
the people at the late general
election, with reference to re-
tanning poll-tax in counties, etc,
cannot be acted upon until the
Legislature meets in 1904.
The House has passed a bill
appropriating two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars more than
ever before for the supporter the
common schools. Under the
present system ofapportionment,
Pearl River County will draw ap-
proximately $500, or an increase
of nearly $1100 per annum. This
will raise the salary of our teach
ers about twenty-five per cent.
Dividing the State into eight
congressional districts is un-
doubtedly the biggest" thing
before us now. There has been
practically nothing done as yet
on this important question, ex-
cept the appointment of special
committee to whom all bills on
the subject of congressional ap-
pointmentare submitted. There
has been a multitude of bills in
introduced, but not one of them
meets with anything like favor
able comment from even half the
members.
The Governor, by special rec
SSGG-4rendatioR, has opened up the
question OF ''state prohibition,
the result of which, l fear, will
be long and bitter discussions by
the champions of both sides.
The liquor elements is marshal
ing it's forces and the prohibition
lists are Strengthening theirs.
IT is a nOfah BILE fact that Governor
Longlno is the first governor
Mississippi ever had who had
the courage or conviction to rec
ommend state prohibition. The
vote on this question is going to
be very close, but l firmly be-
lieve the State will go dry"
have introduced bill for the
support and equipment of the
Branch Experimental Station at
McNeill, but it has not been act
ed upon in committee as yet. |
have talked experiment station
without ceasing almost and have
had quite mum Der of members
to pledge me their hearty sup
port. l believe we shall get
enough money to carry on the
good work at McNeill, but | am
fearful that the increased de-
mand upon the State Treasury
will make it impossible to pass a

Der support of this station.

A DECISION IS LOOKED FOR
Baseball Fight May Be Settled During

COMPROMISE REGARDED As PROBABLE
Alleged that the Spsena Faction Nav
Re Willing 10 Come to Terms Rather
Than Lose Money.

New York, February 24-Memhers Of the
National League Of Baseball clubs are in
hopes that the celebrated case involving
the legality of the election Of A. C. Spald-
ing viii come to trial ON Monday or Tues
day of next week, and that decision will
be handed down before the week is over
Scarcely four weeks will intervene before
the beginning of the practice season. and
IN three weeks after that the clubs should
start upon their regular summer schedule
If there Is to be one. Much of the heliicoss
talk that was common during the winter
has ceased.
Climbs in both factions begin to realize
what confronts them. and as there are
three or four organizations that can not
afford to lose money this year, almost any
excuse will be seized upon for a compro.
mise.
Two clubs of the Spaldlug faction are
reported as indignant that A. G.. Sapldina
did not appear In person at the PlttSburs
conference, and the delegates 81 these
clubs SO expressed themselves In private.
Ii was the result Of that conference that
seems TO have determined the Spalding fac.
ton not to carry the present case to
higher court If the decision be against
them.
Heretofore there have been frequent as
srrtions that appeals would not be stopped
short OF the United States court, but senti-
n,ent has changed, II II nts that have been
dropped since Saturday amount 10 any

Denton County Primaries.

Denton, Texas February 24.-The plank
in the last democratic platform demanding
that all counties hold their primaries for
state ocii'es on the same day has been
creating considerable talk here the past
few days. especially in view of the fact
that this county has set the date for Satur.
day, April 10, without waiting to consult
the state committee, and 1t is believed
that an effort will be made to change the
date. The move will meet the opposition
OF many on account Of the fact that If the
State committee decided on an unusually
late date 1t would financially ruin many
Of the candidates for county offices who
announced their candidacy only after the
county committee had settled upon the
April date. The executive committee meet.
ing Saturday brought up the question, hut
finally decided to let it alone and, If neccs-
sary. the chairman can reconvene the com.
