Redistricting the State.

The joint committee of the house
and senate, appointed to agree and re-
port on a plan of redistricting the
circuit and chancery court districts Of
the State, held its first meeting last
week.
This committee is composed of
twelve members from each body. Hon.
E. II. Moore being the Chairman of the
senate wing. and Hon. Clarence
Greaves chairman of the house wing.
The committee will take under con-
sideration all bills introduced in the
two branches of the legislature pro-
posing formation of new court dis
tricts, and eldeavor to agree on a
complete new formation OF the chan
Gerry and circuit divisions.
BY some members it is believed that
it will be necessary TO form at least
four new circuit court districts, max
ing a total of fifteen, and that not
less than three new chancery dis
tricts should be formed. The question
is one of the most important that will
be brought before the legislature at
this session. and it is not likely that
the committee will be in readiness to
report its plan until the latter part of
February.
1t is expected that nearly every cir
cult Judge and chancellor in the State
will appear before the committee dur
ing it's sessions to give their ideas as
to what should be done in the mat
ter.

MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE

AS the legislature enters upon its
fourth week, nothing much in the way
of legislation in which the people are
interested has been accomplished.
Some of the mos. important bills that
are yet to come before the legislature
have not been Introduced as yet. but
they will be during the next ten days.
However, great many measures have
been introduced. and some of them
disposed of. II is probable that an ef-
fort will be made to pass the general
appropriation bill before the end of the
month, so that the State officers,
judges, chancellors and district attor-
neys may be able to get their money.
The bill for the support OF the COM
mol schools of the State, which pass
ed the house. will probably come up
in the senate some time soon, and will
be passed practically as 1t came from
the house, and will be sent to the gov
ernor for his signature. The January
distribution of the school fund is due
to be made now, and If there is any
delay on this score the school teach
ers of the State will be kept out of
their money.

last week the needs of the different
offices a. to furniture was discussed
and the probable amount that would
be asked of the legislature for fur
nishing the building as it should be
furnished. No definite conclusion
was reached in regard to the matter.
The State officers like the idea OF
holding these meetings and discuss

Washington, d. c., Feb. 2.-The plan
to allow the St. Louis Exposition au-
thorities to borrow $4,000 from the
government has been approved by the
subcommittee of the senate appropria-
tions committee, and Senator Hale has
been designated to draft the necessary
legislation.
1t is expected that the item will be
inserted in the urgent deficiency bill,
which will come to the senate this

The item will be tackled to this bill,
for the reason that the funds carried
BY this measure are made Immediately
available until the beginning of the
fiscal year, in June.

is doing magnificent work for its

branch stations established, Missls-
sippi will have four experiment sta
tons within her borders, each one
doing a distinct piece of work for its
own section. 1t is wholly mneces-

these branch stations, for every cltl-
zen in the State knows that the soils
and conditions in the delta are diff
ferent from the conditions in the
pine woods section.
Tie Mcneil branch experiment
station has been IN active operation
for less than two years, and the re-
suits have been all that could be de
sired. There are about 600 exper-
iments in the field. The expert
ments are planned with view Of
obtaining information concerning
the best use of fertilizers for fruits,
vegetables and staple crops; the
kinds and varieties of these crops
best suited TO the conditions of that
particular section: the methods con-
duciye to the best results in the

TWENTY-THIRD DAY.

The feature of the legislative session
today was the message sent to the
senate by Gov. Vardaman regarding
the care and keeping of the new capt.
toll building The governor bases his
communication on the resolutions of
the statehouse commission. Follow
ing is the message:
ITO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
your attention is directed to the fol
lowing resolution adopted by the state
house commission, January &c, 1904:
Resolved. That the governor be re-
quested to advise the legislature that
this commission had consulted all the
State officers touching their views as
to the needs of their Offices in the
way of furniture, additional TO that
already furnished by the commission,
and that it will require something in
the neighborhOOd of one hundred
thousand dollars to purchase all OF
the furniture which in the opinion OF
said officers should be placed in the
building.
Whereas, the capitol commission
has learned that the report made by 1t
and submitted to ex-Gov. Longino for
transmission to the legislature has not
received attention,
Therefore, the governor is request
ed to advise the Legislature that said
report has already been transmitted
and is in its possession, and that the
secretary of the commission is ready
to make the financial report required
by law
ITO finish the capitol. provide the
necessary furniture for the offices
therein, and to complete the grounds
in accordance with the original plans
of the designer of the capitol build
ing, will cost approximately 100000.
1t is not absolutely necessary that all
the furniture included in this estimate
should be put into the Offices at this
time, nor is it imperative that the
grounds about the capitol building
should be completed at once, but 1t
would be better, if it is to be done at
all, to finish the entire building and
grounds and be done with it. While
the capitol building and grounds VIII

lion dollars more than was contemplat-
ed when the bill was passed by the
legislature which provided for its con-
struction. | am of the opinion still
that it is not wise, provident or pru-
dent to permit the buildings and
grounds to remain in an unfinished
state The legislature should act IN
this matter.
Il would also submit for your con-
sideration the proposition to create a
permanent commission, to be COM
posed of three or more of the State
officers, of which the secretary of the
State shall be one, whose duty it shall
be to exercise supervision and care
over the States property located in
the city of Jackson. not under the col
troll of a board of trustees. The mem
bers of this commission should per-
form its function without additional
compensation and relieve the State OF
the expense of maintaining the pres
eat statehouse commission.
There should also be appropriated
sum of money sufficient to meet any
emergency or repair any unexpected
damage to the States property. which
it might sustain during the recess OF
the legislature. The State cannot af-
ford to permit its property to go to
wreck.

Experiment Stations and Farmers.

The agricultural experiment sta
tions in this country were cstab-
lished TO help farmers by giving
them reliable information concern
ing agriculture. Every farmer must
operate his own farm and succeed
or fail according TO his ability. The
only help YOU can give him is rclia-
bic information as to matters of fact
that his Judgment may be- good and
his practices correct. Though their
work has been retarded by many diff
ficulties. which farmers and others
have failed to appreciate or under
stand in the past, hut who are now
beginning to realize their great I'M
portancc in working out the great
agricultural problems that confront
our people, still the stations have
been IA success from the very start,
and are fulfilling their mission i'll a
manner and to Il degree that. per-
haps, is greater than was expected.
Many States in the Union are show
ing their appreciation of the work Of
the different experiment stations by
experimenting the appropriation
made by the United States govern
ment each year for their support.
The per cent of our population en-
gagged in agriculture is larger than
that of any other State, and Missis-
sippi can afford to spend money lib
orally for the development of its ag-
ricultural interests. The following

The practical and businesslike tone
of this message has caused much IA
vorable comment among the members,
and it is understood that a measure
will be at once framed and introduced
in the senate covering the sugges-
tiuns made.
The Days Work.
Legislative routine today was quite
uneventful. The senate made the uni
| form school book bill. favorably re-
ported from the committee on educa-
ton few days since. the special or
| der for next Tuesday. There is no
opposition of consequence to the meas
ure, and the customary publishing
house lobby is conspicuous by its alb
sence.
The major portion of the senate ses-
/ sion was devoted to the discussion
of a very uninteresting road-work-
/ lllS tiils Oil WHICH AAt W.

measure was finally passed by a vote
/ of 10 to is.
! a few regular appropriation bills, all
/ carrying small amounts, were passed.

ance of $500 for the biennial period.
The Ratliff bill passed by decisive
vote. requiring that Office of county SUI
| perintendent of education be elective
| in all counties. Four counties are al

! In the house al hour or So was spent
in vigorous complaints against the
acoustics of the hall. and the discus.
sion OF proper remedies for the de-
| feet. The members whose voices are
not noted for strength and resonance
were especially vigorous in their com
! plants.
Many new bills of a local nature
were introduced in the house. but 10th
ing further of general interest trans
pired in either branch. and both houses
adjourned for the day.
