TUESDAY.

The legislature Of 1904, has passed
into history, the curtain being rung
down at l clock. The joint resolu-
ton of the two houses provided for
a joint adjournment at noon, but the
presiding officers of the two houses
set their watches back an hour in or
der that they might have an opportu-
nifty to sign the bills. The House
lacked one member of having quo
rum, but Speaker Thomas ruled that
be could sign bills without a quorum
being present.
There was great deal of skirmish-
ing done on the Merger Bill, but it
was signed by both the Lieutenant
Governor and the Speaker of the
House and was sent to the governor
for his signature. The governor did
not return the bill to the House with
his approval, and it will lay dead for
two years. If he thinks that the meas
ure is good one he can send it to
the next legislature within three days
after it meets and it will become a
law.
Along with the Merger Bill there
are a number of important measures
which will be held up for two years.
Section 72 of the Constitution does
not permit the governor to sign any
bills while the legislature is not in
session.
The Merger Bill, which has been
held up for two years, has had the
most stormy time of any measure that
has been introduced this session. 1t
was fought at every turn, and only
managed to get over all the break
ers by scratch, only to lay dormant
in the governors Office for two years.
It is understood that the governor has
been overwhelmed with protests since
the bill passed. He has received a
large number of petitions and letters
asking that he veto the measure.
The closing sessions of both Houses
was sensational, the House more so
than the Senate. Speaker Thomas took
the bit in his teeth and said that he
considered that it was perfectly prop
er that he sign the bills with no quo
rum present, and on this idea he work
ed. The protest of Coleman to this
mode of procedure was entered on the
journal. The House leaders had hoped
to have a quorum present this morn
ing, as many kilograms had been sent

In lmnntation or the sun, supposed
to rise on Easter Monday in three
leaps, the curious custom of lifting in
the chair still exis,, in some parts of
England and ireland. The men lift
the women on Easter Monday, the
women on Easter Tuesday return the
compliment, the victim being lifted
three times and then kissed.
In Bulgaria young men and women

in the churehyard attired in holiday
dress, and indulge in social games. If,
during these games, a girl allows her
handkerchief to be taken away by a
young man, this is a signal Of pro-
posal and acceptance.
In the Austrian TyroI Easter pranks
like the first of April jokes are the
rule. Hospitality is universal at this
time, and nobody asking for SHELTER
and food is refused.

out during the night and responses
were received from number stating
that they would be here, but the House
lacked one Of having quorum on q
Iroll call shortly after u o'clock.
There were many visitors present in
both houses to witness the sensational
close. Most Of the members left for
their homes this afternoons and to-
might, and by tomorrow there will be
few of them in the city. 4k
1t developed this afternoon that the
brief executive session that was held
by the Senate this morning was called
at the instance of Senator Magruder,
who protested against. the confrma-
ton of ]. w. Norment, of Starkyille,
to the Board of Trustees of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College,
which appointment was confirmed on
Saturday. He wanted the Senate to
reconsider, but this it refused to do.
Senator Magruder and Representa-
tive Norment both live in Starkville.
Carter Relief Bill Law.
Governor Vardaman let the Carter
Relief Bill become law without his
signature. I doing so he sent the fol-
lowing letter to both houses:
'sI have considered Senate Bill No.
224, entitled An act tosmake an ap-
preparation out of the funds of the
state treasury for the relief of j. w.
Garter, of Kemper county, and to au-
thorize and empower the Board of Su-
pervisors of sKemper eountyito allow
the claim of the said j. w. Carter, and
in its discretion to provide for the
payment of the same and herewith
return it without my signature. There
must be equities in this bill which I
have been unable to discover, .Mdging
from the action of the legislature up
on it. For that reason, and fearing
that an injustice might be done pri-
vate citizen, | have restrained from
using the veto, but have determined to
defer to the decision Of the legisla-
ture and permit the bill to become a
law without the governor Is signature.
" | am unalterably opposed to this
character of legislation, and ] wish
to call to the attention of this legisla-
ture the pressing necessity for enact
ing a general law providing for the
settlement of all such cases by the
courts of the state. The courts are or
ganized and sit in the counties where
the parties to the controversy usually
reside and the issue arises, and, there
fore, if given authority by the legisla-
ture, can better obtain the facts, and
in their determination can approach
nearer absolute justice than any other
tribunal. The iniquity of local and
private legislation was emphasized by
the constitutional convention on that
subject"
Carter is the former sheriff of KEN
per county, and was checked up short
by the revenue agent some years ago.
Four years ago similar bill was pass
ed by the legislature and vetoed by
Governor Longino.

Poll Tax Cannot Be Retained.

Through the failure of the bill to
reach the governor for his signature,
the measure putting into effect the
amendment to the Constitution Of the
state providing for the various coun-
ties retaining their poll tax and apply
ing it to the school fund, this section
of the Constitution will be imperative,
and according to the opinion of Off
cials here, the poll tax willahave to be
returned to the state treasurer. Two
years ago a constitutional amendment
was adopted giving each county the
privilege of retaining the poll taxes
collected and of using them in the
school fund. This constitutional
amendment could not go into effect
until the legislature passed bill max
ing it operative. This bill was passed
by both houses, but failed to reach the
governor for his approval or rejection
before final adjournment was taken.
There were seven other bills in the
same position. According to the Con-
stitution, the governor cannot sign a
bill during vacation, and this measure,
putting into effect the amendment in
regard to poll taxes, cannot become a
law until the next session of the legis-
lature, when it must be returned with
the governor IS veto within three days
after the session convenes, or it be-
comes law.
The common school appropriation,
by the failure to get this bill to the
governor in time for his signature, is
left in somewhat of muddle. One
million and a quarter of dollars was
appropriated for the common schools
of the state, Exclusive of the poll
tax, and could have been retained
in the counties if the enforcing clause
to the constitutional amendment had
been signed, but with it imperative,
the poll tax must be returned to the
state treasury.

STIRRING SCENES
AT THE WINDUP
SIGNS BILLS WITHOUT QUORUM
PRESENT.
LEGISLATIVE FAREWELL.
Presiding Officers Set Watches Back
an Hour to Make Time Merger
Bill Dead for Two Years at Least.
Carter Relief nv a Law.
MONDAY.

Both the House and Senate convened
this afternoon. There was no quorum
in either branch when the presiding
officers called the bodies to order.
When the large batch of bills were
sent over to the House this afternoon
by the Senate. Mr.. Joe George, OF
Yazoo, raised the point of order that
there was no quorum present. He did
this on account of the refusal of the
Senate to send over the Merger Bill
which was disposed of Saturday, OBJ
lection having been made to sending ii
over by Senator Groom, as he had a
right to do, for the Senate was still
working this afternoon under Satur-
days journal.
Mr.. George offered to compromise,
stating that if no point was raised on
the Merger Bill, he would not raise
the point on the other bills.
The Constitution requires that the
bills shall be signed by the presiding
officers Of both houses, in the presence
of quorum and, in the absence of a
quorum, if the point is raised, no bills
can be signed. e
Representative George made the fol-
lowing statement:
"When the House convened I was
recognized by the Speaker, and said
that / was perfectly willing not to
make the point of a lack Of a quorum
if all the members present would agree
to do the same. All the members pres
ent signifed their assent to the prop
osition, except three, and l then an
nounced that l would make the point
on all legislation, and would not suffer
three men to. have the bills they favor
ed passed, and kill those they did not
favor. My object was to make the
point early, SO that absent members
could be reached with notices in time
to be here tomorrow, SO that all bills
passed by the legislature might be pre-
sented to the governor for his approx
al, and to prevent two or three men
from controlling the House."

Easter day.
Devonshire maidens still get up early
on the morning in question to observe
not only the uancing sun, but the
lamb and flag in the centre of the disk:
An old Scotch belief makes the sun
even more active, for there it is ex-
pected to whirl around like a miIl-
wheel and give three leaps.
One way to watch for the suns un-
usual gyrations was to observe its re-
fiection in a pool or pail of water,
where any movement on the surface
would materially strengthen the ilIu-
sion Naturally whether one stared
directly at the sun or watched the re-
fiection in the wafer. human opticc
