TUESDAY.

The special committee appointed by
the House some weeks ago to visit the
coast and look into the oyster condi-
tions there, submitted its report to-
day, and it comes out in favor of Bar
ber Oyster Bill, which prohibits any
but Mississippians to fish in the wa
ters of the gulf The reports say that
a number of factories have been es-
tablished in Alabama and Louisiana,
which use Mississippi oysters and pay
no tax. The report was referred to
the Committee on Fisheries and Com
merce.
Tomorrow morning the House Ju-
dietary Committee will make its re-
ports on the report of the Committee
on Humane; and Benevolent Institu-
tions, which was referred to them for
legal investigation. The Judiciary
Committee recommends that the At
torney General be instructed to take
legal steps to recover the money paid
by the trustees Of the Insane Hospit-
al for the land, and further recon-
mends that the District Attorney of
this district be asked to bring the
matter of the land purchase to the
grand jury's attention.
In the House this afternoon, a very
spirited debate was precipitated by an
attempt to abolish fraternities at the
University of Mississippi, by making
an amendment to the University Ap-
preparation Bill providing that none
of the money shall be paid until fra
ternities were abolished. The amend
ment was defeated and the appropri-
tion bill passed.
The Senate this morning passed on
its second reading the amendment
providing for an elective judiciary,
which passed its first reading yester-
day. The Senate killed the bill in
troduced by Senator McLaurin, of the
Twentieth, providing for the creation
of forty-six inferior courts. There
was a great deal of discussion on the
bill, and most of the senators express
ed themselves on it. The Senate also
passed the House bill for the support
of the Institute for the Blind.
The House passed the Agricultural
and Mechanical College General Ap-
preparation Bill, and spent most of
the morning in passing minor relief
bills.
1t seems highly probably now that
the uniform textbook legislation will
be confined to an amendment to the
present county adoption law, provid-
ing that books shall be sold in Missis-
sippi as cheap as in any state in the
Union The House and the Senate
Committees are deadlocked on the
amendments to the Senate bill on the
part of the House, and there is no
hope Of the Committee ever being able
to agree.
There is now some prospect of q
favorable report being made on the
Nixon Bill, to create new courthouse
in Pike and make McComb City the
Second District county site. This
bill was earnestly fought last week,
large delegations from McComb City
and that vicinity coming up and ap-

LIvERS HIS OPINION.
FAR REACHING IN EFFECT
Holds Till End of Unexpired Term
lightning Plays a Curious Trick
With Loaded Gun.-The Bed of
Jefferson Davis and Other Effects
Will Go to st. Louis.

Attorney General Williams has CIV
en- Gov. Vardaman an official opin-
ion on one of the most important mat
tiers that has ever been handled by
an attorney general Of the State of
Mississippi, and one that will attract
attention the State over. There has
been considerable agitation of the
question for the past several months
lever since the appointment of Judge
Truly to a place on the Supreme Court
bench to fill out the unexpired term
of Judge Price, of Magnolia, who re-
signed, as to whether the appointment
held good for nine years, the full term
of Supreme Court Judge of this
state, or whether it was for only the
unexpired term. The best lawyers i'll
the state have been called on for opin-
ions in the matter, and they have, as
usual, differed. If the term expires
with the t.rm for which Judge Price
was appointed, the governor will have
to make another appointment-If it
is for the full nine years years he will
not, but the question is one for de-
bate and decision one way or the 9TH
er in the very near future III view OF
the fact that the senate, the confirm
ing power, will soon adjourn. The
Governor asks the Attorney General
for his opinion on the end of the
terms of Justice Truly of the Supreme
Court, appointed August IA, 1908
Justice Whitfield, appointed March
g, 1903; Circuit Judges Mcdonald,
Boothe, Kimbrough, Wilkinson and
Miller, all of whom were appointed by
Gov. Longino in 1908; Chancellors
Wilson, Mayes, McCool and
Moody, all of whom were appointed
in 1903, and asks for construction of
sections 103, las, Isl, 153 and 1T of
the constitution of 1890, also request
ing the Attorney General to examine
the case of Bray VS.. Howe, 50th Miss.
lie SOVeInOT SldtcS tHdt AO mohCc
these inquiries in order that he may
know whether it is his duty to take
action with regard to the judgeships
above referred to. To this inquiry the
Attorney General makes lengthy re-
ply as the case demands, and in which
he takes the position that the term of
Jutsice Truly expires with the expira-
ton of the unexpired term he was ap-
pointed to fill out, concluding as fol
lows "a Supreme Judge appointed
in vacation for full term, at the ex-
piration Of a regular term, his ap-
pointment having been confirmed by
the Senate, holds for nine years from
the beginning of such regular term
A Supreme Judge appointed in vaca-
ton for an unexpired term, such ap-
pointment having been confirmed
holds till the end of the unexpired
term. The confirmation of the vaca-
ton appointment of Circuit Judges
and Chancellors fixes their tenure al
four years from the date such ap-
pointment went into effect.

The Senate this afternoon confirm
ed the appointment of Judge W. F.

Text Book Bill Dead.
There is to be no uniform school
book legislation this session, as has
been very evident since the house and
the senate became so far apart on the
personnel of the commission to select
the books to be used in the public
schools.
At 8 o'clock this morning the con-
ference committee from the House
met with the committee from the Sen
ate, the third meeting that has been
held within the past two days, and an
effort was made to reach an agree
ment, but the effort was fruitless. And
the two committees were just as di-
versifed in their opinions as they
were when the first conference was
held. The Senate wanted commit
tee selected by the governor, attorney
general and superintendent of educa-
ton, composed of school teachers; the
house wanted a commission appointed
direct by the governor, and so amend
ed the uniform text book bill, as pass
ed by the Senate. The Senate refused
to adopt the House amendment IN re-
gard to the changes on the commits
sion, and at a last resort the two ap-
pointed conference committees to see
if a compromise could not be reached
but after diligent labors and repeat
ed conferences, the house committee
reported back that they were unable
to unite with the Senate on the mat
ter, so this practically ends the uni
form text book bill.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is ia
ken internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
