ManY of the insurance companies
are now canceling their policies in
this State OH lumber Lumber, like
cotton, has always been insured by
blanket policies with a co-insurance
clause. When the companies took
action on cotton, refusing to issue
any more blanket policies, at the
beginning of this season, lumber
policies were not disturbed, and the
rule as to lumber was not changed.
heClntly, however, a heavy lumber
les in South Mississippi called the
attention Of the companies to the
fact that their blanket policies on
lumber with the co-insurance clause
were collectable, under the decision
OF me Supreme Court, for their face
value, and that no deduction could
be made for failure Of the insured
to Aesp the lumber fully insured.
Ihls discovery has been causing a
Wholesale cancellation of lumber poll
les.

the Doodle" Is said 10 Have
Been Paid-Buticr Brought In.

on the back of the information are;
J. h. Murrell, L. Z. -lurrell, George
f. Robertson, Otto Schumacher, John
Helms, William NJ. Tamblyn, mem
bers of the municipal combine, and
Joseph n. Judge and George +. Mock
Ter. The last two named are formal
witnesses, Judge being clerk of the
present house of delegates and Mock
Ter secretary of the present council.
The other six are members of the
combine, which included the reeipi-
ents of the bribe.
The indictment of Butler has been
in view ever since the return of J. X.
Murrell from his exile In Mexico. The
fight of Charles +. Kelly, taker of
the bribe, prevented the earlier issu-
ance of the Indictment.
Little more than one months time

Mississippi State News
Case Dismissed.

A young farmer of Choetaw eoun-
ty was arraigned before the Federal
District Court at Aberdeen last week
on the charge of retailing liquors
without revenue license. The testi-
mony developed that a gallon of
whisky had been ordered by mail
for Christmas use, and that the
young man had yielded 10 soicita-
tions of a friend and sold him a half
pint of the liquor, and that was all
that he had sold. Judge Niles dis
missed the case with the declaration
that the transaction did not consti-
tute retail dealer under the United
States statutes, but that if the man
had been a ''lounger about town." in
possession of gallon of whisky, the
circumstances would have been diff
ferent and more suspicious.

Purchase of BeauvoIr Not Contaminated.


Much to the disappointment of
many delegates, the purchase of
Beauvoir was not consummated be-
fore the adjournment of the Sons of
Veterans at Jackson last week. The
matter was brought up for discus
sion on report of Treasurer George
G. Meyers, showing $3.50 available
and the proposition to borrow the
additional amount necessary dis
cussed. 1t was the sentiment of the
convention that no debt should be
contracted, and after a rather
lengthy deliberation it was decided
to appoint Treasurer Meyers as
agent to canvass the State and col
lect the amount needed from the
subscriptions made, but which have
not been paid.
Gen. Meyers was authorized, as
soon as he gets the $4,000 IN hand,
to receive the deed from Judge A. c.
Kimbrough, who is acting as agent
for Mrs. Jefferson Davis, and TO pay
over the purchase price.
The board of directors will meet
and elect the board Of managers for
the Beauvoir home Immediately after
the transfer takes place. The con-
vention then adjourned sine die.
