A Good Roads Bill.

The most important bill that has
been introduced in the legislature DUR
ing the present month is the measure
offered in the house recently by Hon.
James W. Norment, of Oktibbeha,
which seeks to make the preliminary
arrangements for the enforcement of
the Brownlow good roads bill, pend
ing in congress. Mr.. Norment is the
author of the present contract road
law of Mississippi, and is perhaps the
best posted member of the body on
road legislation. He was delegate
from the State-at-large to the Interna-
tional Good Roads Convention, held
in st. Louis last April, and was made
a member of the legislative committee
Of the National Good Roads Associa-
ton. which committee was empow-
cred to act in contemplation of the
Brownlow bill, or some similar meas
ure. Mr.. Norment Is confident that
his bill will be reported favorably by
the committee on roads, ferries and
bridgeR

opposed 70 Salary Increases.

The legislature is manifesting very
decided reluctance against increasing
the salaries of State officials or en-
ployes during the present session. A
bill as passed in the house last week
increasing the salary of the governors
private secretary to $500 per year, as
it is said he is the most hard worked
attache of the State government. The
original provision of the bill was for
an increase to $1,000, which was cut
down by an amendment to $1,000.

The Mississippi house passed the
bill making an appropriation for the
vicksburg hospital, placing the APP
pointment of the surgeon in the gov
errors hands. The house killed the
bill allowing the Southeastern Tariff
association to enter the state. The
senate killed the bill allowing women
lawyers to practice in the state. Me-
mortal services we're held in both
branches to Senator w. B. Walker.

The house reconsidered the coal oil
inspection bill and recommitted the
measure to the judiciary committee.
Some of the members are of the opin-
ion that it gives the governor entirely
too much patronage to appoint a coal
oil inspector in every county.
The senate passed the senate
amendments to the primary election
law adopted in the house, and the
measure now goes back for concur
renee in an amendment eliminating the
clause providing thatta person shall
not be allowed to vote in primary
who is visibly intoxicated. On this
point brief but very interesting de-
bate ensued and the conclusion reach
ed by the senate In substance means
that it is every mans duty to vote and
the great American privilege of the
aforesaid man to get as drunk as he
pleases on election day, and none can
say him nay.
The constitutional question was
raised and several members declared
that it was the province of any man
or set of men to determine when a
person is too drunk to vote intelligent
ly. The house will doubtless concur
in the senate amendment.
The non-fraternity men made their
last fight of this session in the lower
house to abolish the Greek
letter fraternities at the University of
Mississippi and the battle was lost.
The fight was brought UP or, the
university appropriation bill, carrying
an allowance of $159,046.35 for the
next two years. Mr.. Ellis offered an
amendment to the bill providing that
no part of the sum should be paid
until the board Of trustees abolished
the Greek fraternities. The constitu-
tional point was raised that legisla-
ton of this nature could not be placed
as rider on appropriation bills, but
Speaker Thomas ruled the point out Of
order, the Supreme Court having spe-
officially decided the question in the
contest over the appropriation for the
Industrial Institute and College.
A spirited debate followed, and both
sides made some sledge hammer argu-
ments, during which the condition of
affairs at the university was fully air.
ed. The amendment was finally tabled
and the bill passed. The entire after
noon was consumed In the debate.

COLLEGE Legislation.

Apropos of the appropriation bills
for educational institutions pending in
the legislature, a bill has been intro
duced in the house directing that the
committee on universities and colleges
inquire into and report on the FEAST
bility of abolishing the preparatory
departments at the Starkville Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College and the
Industrial Institute and College at Co
lumbus. The members of the facul-
ties of these two institutions are rad
ically opposed to such a step.

Sent to the Grand Jury.

Criminal proceedings seem to be in
prospect over the Mississippi Insane
Hospital land purchase, the report on
which, submitted by the committee on
humane and benevolent institutions in
the lower house last week Gre
ated such sensation, the committee
specifically charging that the trans
action was made for the benefit of Ed
gar S. Wilson. Somebody seems in a
fair way to have to explain to the
grand jury, and the encouragement
has been authorized to institute pro-
ceedings to recover the money the
State paid out on the deal.

1t looks very much Like the legisla-
ture is going to prohibit the importa-

canning factories along the gulf coast
during the oyster season and to re-
strict fishing for oysters in Mississippi
waters to bona flde resident citizens OF
the State. The special committee APP

WIDOW Continues Good work.

Mrs. William e. Dodge, widow of
the late philanthropist, has agreed to
give to the University Of Virginia a
Y. M. c. A. building to cost $4,000,
provided an endowment and mainte-
nance fund of $4,000 should be raised
by the universities friends.

FoRTY.FoURTH DAY.

After q debate lasting for the past
three days at intermittent periods, the
lower house last week finally passed
the bill authorizing telegraph and tel
ephone companies to exercise the
right of eminent domain. There was
very strong opposition to the bill,
many members believing that the
semi-private or quasi-public corpora
tons should not thus have their lib
critics enlarged.
The appropriation bill for the In
dustrial Institute and College, carry
ing an appropriation of $159,548. IA for
the biennial period, was passed. Mr..
Patterson introduced bill prohibiting
the sale of tobacco to minors.
The senate passed the general ap-
preparation bill to defray the current
expenses of the various departments
of State government for the next two
years. A measure was passed author
izing boards of supervisors to supple
ment the State pensions by making
payments to pensioners from county
funds.
Good-by to Peruna.
The senate today passed a bill pro-
hibiting the sale of Peruna, Jamaica
ginger and all forms of intoxicating
bitters or remedies.
The vote on the bill was % to IL.
and although a motion to reconsider
was entered, there is little hope OF
accomplishing the defeat of the meas
uer when it is again called up on the
motion.
Much POPULARITY and good natured
jibing took place in across-the-aisle
conversation during the discussion of
the bill, and also in open debate. One
member remarked that its passage
would be direct insult to certain
eminent Mississippian now in private
life, whose picture frequently adorns
the Peruna advertisements in daily
and weekly newspapers. During the
discussion a few members asserted
that Peruna is really valuable medi-
cine, while others contended that If
persons want to drink whisky that
they should use good whisky and not
stun that is doped up and sold under
the guise of proprietary medicine. :
At any rate, If the bill passes the
house and receives the signature of
the governor, it is good-by to Peruna
and all similar drugs in Mississippi,
and there will be much weeping and

COMMENT AND CRITICISM.
Some Opinions on Legislation Past,
Present and Prospective.
Kid Glove Farming.

A desperate but unsuccessful at
tempt was made in the senate last
night to defeat the appropriation bill
for the agricultural experiment sta
ton at McNeill. Several members,
especially those belonging to the older
set, expressed their contempt for OK
detrimental farming. Senator THRASH
er stated that when he wanted infor-
nation on agricultural subjects he
would go to some practical farmer,
and not to kid glove experimenter.

This is the result the school book
lobby hoped to accomplish, and conse-
quently they are very jubilant over
the senate's refusal to concur. If a
discord should develop among the ten
members of the conference committee
it is certain that there will be no
school book legislation, as the session
is drawing rapidly to "a close. Two
years ago the school book bill was de
feated by the on-concurrernce of the
senate, and it seems that the lobby has
a penchant for accomplishing it's most
effective work in the upper body.
