FRIDAY. JANUARY is,

FRIDAY, JANUARY IS.
AS forecasted above, the lower house
refused to cut down the appropriation
for the common schools of the State,
Notwithstanding the enactment of the
constitutional amendment providing
that the poll taxes collected in the
counties shall be retained in the coun-
ties for the use of the common schools
The bill as reported from the COM
mittee on appropriations was called up
in the house shortly before the noon
hour, and the debate lasted less than
an hour. The majority report favor
ed an appropriation of SLIPS, 900, or
S125,000 less than the present annual
allowance, while the minority report,
signed by six members, favored the
original sum of $1,250,000. The latter
report was adopted and the bill passed
By practically unanimous vote.
The passage of this act makes about
81 100000 available for the common
schools each year, including the poll
tax collections. 1t is not believed that
the amount will be changed by the sen
ate.
Quite number of bills were intro
duced in both bodies, the house caIen-
dar now containing 40 measures and
the senate calendar about 100 meas
ures.
The senate session was quite brief,
being devoted chiefly to the introduce
ton of bills and committee reports
Senator Dunn's bill making more
stringent provisions for awarding con.
tracts by boards of supervisors ald re-
quiring that three weeks published
notice be given of the awards, was
passed without oppositionl.
At the morning session the rules
of 1900 were adopted, after few un-
important amendments had been at
tached
Selling State, Property.
At Mondays session of the lower
house the Caruthers resolution provid-
ing for the appointment of a special
committee to investigate the proposed
sale of real estate owned by the State,
and located in the city of jackson, will
be called up for discussion.
This will be one of the most i'm
portant subjects acted upon during the
legislative session, as the resolution
calls for a consideration of the feasibil-
ity of selling the governors mansion
property, the present deaf and dumb
institute property, both negro and
white; the old statehouse grounds, and
the fair grounds tract, in the rear of
the old capitol building.
Gov. LonSino in his final message to
the legislature recommended the sale
Of these tracts, and the recommends
ton has been commented upon with
much favor among the legislators.
There is hardly any doubt that joint
committee will be named to investi-
gate the matter and report back to the
two houses. The property named is
worth several hundred thousand dol
lars, and some very substantial rea-
sons have been offered for it's sale at
the present time
While a goodly number of bills were
introduced in both houses, most of
them were local or amendatory in char
acter, and nothing further of general
interest TRANSFERRED. The senate adj
journed to Saturday, while the house
suspended business until Monday
morning.

Too Prosperous to EconomIze.

The legislature will find it difficult
to do much in the way of cutting
down expense. The general prosper
ity Of the State and large increase
of business seems to impress the men,
bers with liberal ideas The schools
will doubtless get more money and
pensions also. There is no doubt Of a
strong sentiment in favor of increasing
the salaries Of State officials and the
Judiciary. All the members profess
to believing in the most liberal ap-
preparations for the new capitol. ami
its needs will be adequately provided
for,

TO Protect came.

Several bills have already been ins
troduced making more stringent regu-
lations for the protection of game.
There seems to be strong sentiment
for prohibiting the wholesale slaugh-
ter of game, and some measure along
this line will undoubtedly be passed.
Combined with it there will be pro-
vision also for protecting the nom
game birds and animals from ruth.
less slaughter.

IRON PRICES UNCHANGED.
Status of the Market by the Trade
Review.

A dispatch from Cleveland last night
saws: The Iron Trade Review this week
saws: The uncertainty overhanging the iron
market has filled the week with rumors Of
cut prices and of pool dissolutions, but with
all the connection the status mas remained
practically unchanged.
The reductions of 81 ton in wire nails
and as high as 81 ton in wire products
have called special attention to the COM
petition in that part of the market and the
independent producer at Pittsburg has not
only met these reductions as they apply to
tobbers. but has made them applicable to
mixed carload orders for retailers. this
amounting to a further cut of 81. An ef-
fort is now being made to secure an adjust
ment of wire prices, but Its success seems
problematical.
Current specifications in steel bars are on
old contracts taken at 1.3O, while the agreed
price is LBS.
Noteworthy business of the week Is in
rails and structural materials Orders for
rails total 125,OOO tons. the largest week 8
business in months. The pig iron market
has been entirely secondary the past week
to developments in finished materials.
Rather less is doing in foundry iron. and
northern furnaces are taking most of the
business, though southern irons are sought
as a necessary part of mixtures, 10000 tons
of southern brands for Michigan delivery
being sold in the week. The 1925 Birming-
ham price is still quoted by one producer.
Northern furnaces are a trifie firmer, per-
haps. Ferro-manganese has sold at $41 for
so per cent, the lowest price in years and
the result of English competition. Six steel
within the week or are preparing to go in
These and other additions to the active list
will give a larger pig iron output in August
than that of July.

A dispatch from Bluefeld, w. Va, last
night says: Sam Watson, colored, snot

trigger of his gun.
A brakeman had his attention attracted

into the bottom of the car. He stgnaled

A dispatch from Annapolis last night
says: Justice Charles G. Feldmeyer has
decided the case of the city of Annapolis
against Joseph w. Trautwein, charged with
running a slot machine for the sale OF
small articles without license. in favor Of
the defendant. The justice bases his deci-
sion on the ground that the city charter
does not give the council authority to i'm
pose the license in question. He also holds
that the license is a form of double taxa
ton, and as such unjust, and, further, that
the ordinance was passed to apply to gam
bling machines only which the particular
machine mentioned was not.

Neglected for Years.

For years after the war the burial ground
remained neglected. 1t finally passed under
the supervision of the Groventon Memorial
Association, and was later taken charge of
by Bull Run Chapter, United Daughters Of
the Confederacy. Soon after its organiza-
ton, about seven years ago. by Mrs. James
E. Alexander Of this city, the chapter be-
gan an active movement for the improve
ment of the grounds. Thousands OF circu-
lars appealing for financial aid were sent
out, by which means enough money was
slowly secured for the erection Of an iron
Enclosure. The work was done at total
cost of $50, and now a serviceable and at
tractive iron railing surrounds the GEM
etery. That much accomplished, the daugh-
tiers turned their attention to plans for
long desired monument. Mrs. James E.
Alexander as treasurer for the monument
fund took an active part In the all-im-
portant effort to raise the financial means.
Gradually the chapter accumulated about
5000. and the present monument was as
sured. The officers Of Bull Run Chapter
are: Mrs. ]. F. DOgan, president: Mrs. A.
H. Compton. treasurer: Mrs. Mollie Dogan,
recording secretary: Mrs. Henry Dogan,
corresponding secretary, and Mrs. James
f. Alexander, treasurer of the monument
and cemetery fund.
