of the biennial legislative sessions is
the fact that comparatively small
number of the members take the
trouble to study the measures under
consideration, and as a result much
Of the work is done hurriedly and
imuerfectly. There is a class Of So
Ions, and by no means small one,
who never see the serious side of the
soiourn in Jackson. They apparently
regard 1t as frolic arrar ged for their
special attention, and vote yea or
nay, in accordance with the strongest
influences brought to bear, and In
total disregard of the merits of the
bill under consideration.
As rule the man who introduces
the most bills is of thu least value
as legislator as most of his meas
ures are totally lacking in merit,
and much valuable time il wasted in
killing the bills which-he seeks to in
flict. There will be a perfect flood OF

such measures at the opening of the
session. and the first few weeks will
be chiefly consumed by the working
committees in clearing the calendars
of this class of stuff.
To the credit of the approaching
session, however. it must he said that
the standard of membership is higher
than it has ever been, and much hope
is felt that it will prove an energetic
and progressive body, performing it's
work promptly and thoroughly, and
that little time will be wasted discuss
ing useless laws. The various coun-
ties as a rule have sent their best men
to the legislature and there is grounds
for the belief that they will deliberate
wisely and we'll.
The opening of the session will be
accompanied by but little ceremony.
The first session will be on the 5th Of
January, and thirteen days will then

for the state of Mississippi that the
hirtory of their former legislative
sessions shows that less than twenty
per cent of the bills introduced are
enacted into laws. Even with this
small percentage of measures the
statute books are stuffed t. the over
flowing point with laws, many of
which are never enforced, and ought
not to be owing to their crudities
and imperfections.
Public sentiment is crystalizing in
favor of fewer Ii ws, aud more rigid
enforcement. Several months ago one
of the leading public men of the state
declared that every new law placed
on the statute books is a blow at civil
liberty, = and this belief strikes a
responsive echo in many minds that
have studied conditions as they exist

mess Activity There.
The Mississippi gulf coast is attract
ing much attention just now on ac-
count of the extraordinary business
and industrial activity being shown
at various points along the Mexican
Gulf.
Work is to be commenced immedi
atley ON the dredg ing of the chsnnel
at Biloxi. The contract has been
awarded and the work will be under
the direction of Inspector Adams of
the Mobile district. The Gulfport
harbor is in fine shape, being suffi-
ciently deep TO float the largest ocean
going vessel at low tide, and the gov
ernment is preparing to spend large
sum improving the harbor at Pasca-
goula.
Another movement of Importance is
the consolidation of the municipalities
of Scranton and Pascagoula, to take
place early in January. under the old
Indian name of Pascagoula. The
electric railroad to connect the va
rions towns along the coast is being
pushed to completion, and it has been
decided to construct line to Dantz-
Ter, which will be great convenience
for communication between Moss
Point and Pascagoula.
An industry that is attracting much
attention along the gutf coast is
orange growing, A large crop has
been shipped from Pascagoula this
year, and good increase in acreage
is predicted for next year.

jackson, Dec. 1.-TWO weeks in

lature the press of the state is teeming
with columns of advice to the law
makers, and the general tenor of sug-

In other words, the public is hoping
for short session. while on the other

drafting bills and it seems that very
few of them will come TO the capital

A holly contested game and one
of those kind that makes the fans
wish someone would start something,
in Seattle handing 1t to Spokane yes
terday. The weather strip who did
the artistic slab performance for
Spokane is a phenom from the bush
out near Yakima somewhere. A
broad smile overspread the jolly
countenance of Cupid" Dugdale when
Klopf trotted out Stats Taylor to
toe the rubber. Dug saw one great
slaughter of the innocent player from
the bush league. But what sur
prise he was to Seattle. The she'll
fish captured the odd run alright, but
they came so near losing out it was
no fun. Both teams We're playing
game for revenge--and second place.
Seattle got it. Mckay, who shows
his teeth when he pitches, got even
for the severe pounding he received
on Saturday morning. But it was by
the narrowest kind of a margin.
Neither twirler was responsible for
winning or losing his game. Stats"
Taylor, whom Spokane offered up,
made good, If ever a twirler did. Tall,
slender and wiry, Stats" can't even
make a shadow alongside beanpole,
but his reach prevented several of the
clamhunters making first yesterday.
Unlike most twirlers Stats" don't
tie himself in knot, although if he
should attempt it he'd show them
all about the knottiest knot in the

LOCAL UNIONS FAVOR
RETAINING BLACKMAN

carpenter-passes him up does not
speak highly in his favor as a peace
maker.
1t was said this morning that the
arbitration board proposed by Scullin
is not in the least needed; that the
state board of arbitration is a much
better one and more far reaching in
the settlement of labor disputes. Mr..
Blackman is well thought of by To-
cal labor.
The striking millworkers still feel
confident that they can carry on the
strike indefinitely without appealing
to the other unions. 1t is stated,
however, that If deemed necessary
the other unions would be called
upon-probably for financial assist
ance. The individual amounts asked
would be small, not more than 10
cents day and in this manner quite
large sum could be raised.

The order was the more remarkable
because Mr.. Boyd had just purchased

10Y DESTROYING Beans.

Mrs. Arabella Elliott Of Kokomo.
Ind, recently testified in court that for
two years Of her married life her hus-
band. Henry H. Elliott. insisted that
they should live on beans. says the
Chicago Record Herald. They had beans
for breakfast. beans for dinner and
beans for supper. 1t was beans. beans,
beans until she heard the rafting of
beans in the tapping of the vines
against the corner Of the dear little
cottage. She had beans In her dreams,
and in her waking fancies all the
world became a pod. and all the men
and women in it were merely beans.
Finally she got Mr.. Elliott to change
off to potatoes. but he pinned for beans,
and, fearing that he would insist on re-
turning to them. she sued for divorce.
