What's the use Of worrying?
Frettins don't pay
What's the use OF hurrying?
It's tho slowest way.
Half the whims that worry you
Never viii come true;
Then why let them furry you.
As you daily do?
Live your life out easily.
Then II will be long.
Take what happens breezily.
Whistle, sing a song!
Don't waste strength on worrying
over phantom ills;
Don't waste time In hurrying.
That's the pace that kills.

The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1904-01-30

A measure introduced in the senate
last week which is attracting much
attention among the members is the
measure of Senator II j. MCLauri1,
| Of Rolling Fork, which seeks to diff
ferentiate lynching from murder. In
other words, Senator McLaurin seeks
to so amend the criminal statutes that
a person convicted of participating In
a lynching or other action Of mo Yio'
lence resulting in the loss OF HE can
not be condemned as for murder, or
even assault and battery with the in
tent to kill and murder. More briefly
stated. participation in a lynching
shall be a lesser crime than commit,
ting murder, and the punishment for
lynching shall be such as may be de-
fined by the trial jury ald not by the
court.
II any person has aver been con.
victed of the crime Of lynchiug in Mis-
sissippi and punished as for murder,
the case is not on record. Senator
McIaurin believes that as lynching is
q lesser oifense in the public mind
than murder, ii should be SO written
In the statutes. The bill is being con-
sidered by the judiciary committee.

Still Wakes Warm.

The plays on the chossbOard Of both
prohibitionists and anti-prohibitlonist'
are in evidence these days. The ?"
hibitionists, through their local CT
mittee, watch the situation !: ,ty
closely, From all the iniicat.lAG u
appears that the prohibitiOnists have
the best Of the organization. The an
tbs do not appear to have much If any
organization. No one seems TO be a.
ing much attention to the anti l1rt
Of the campaign, The general can
census OF opinion is that the amc'i.
ment will be voted or and given
the people. The house is regarded as
even more N favor Of the amendm ant
than the senate, but it is thought tnat
both branches will vote 10 submit he
amendment. Within the next week
It is expected that the amendment to
the constitution providing for the ban
ishment OF the saloon will be subD.it'
ted to both branches, 1t has 10 be
passed by both the house and the shn'
ate on three separate days. 1t does
not go to the governor for his approx
al at all. If the amendment Is passed
it will be submitted 10 the people at
the congressional election next fall.

Trial OF Civil Suits.

A measure of much importance to
civil litlgants and the members Of The
legal profession was the act passr
by the senate last week relative to
trials of causes il circuit courts, 60
as to make cases that have been doc.,,
eted and personal notice to defend
ants given thirty days before the court
term triable at that term. The meas
ure provoked considerable debate. BIT;
was finally passed by a vote OF u
to G.
Under the present law civil sui 2
filed in advance Of a court term are
placed on the appearance docket for
that term, and do net reach
the trial docket until the fol-
lowing term, thus often max,
ing the trial one year after the
suit is filed, as few counties in the
State have more than two court terms
during the year.

Enrolment.

For the first time in the history OF
Mississippi. the bills passed by the
legislature will be enrolled in type
written form. Heretofore export copy
lists and penmen have been employed
to enroll the bills, and this has formed
a heavy item of expense. At n time
during the last session the secretary
Of the senate had twelve copyists at
work, and the clerk Of the house had
an equal number, Secretary Murray
and Clerk Smith have both ordered
book typewriters, and these machines
will be used for enrolling work. The
two machines, in the hands of good
~typewritists, can enroll all the bills
passed during the session.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 21.

Minor matters occupied the larger
share of attention in both branches Of
the legislature today:
The house passed the series Of bills
regulating the Office hours of State of
ficers. Briefly stated, these bills cut
out the dinner hour heretofore allowed
the officials and require them to keep
open throughout the day.
A lengthy debate was provoked by
the bill appropriations $4,000 per IA
mum for the protection Of State prop
erty by the Jackson fire department.
The low pressure" element got III
its work and the appropriation was
cut down to $1,000 per annum, not,
withstanding the fact that the city is
engaged in the work Of establishing a
paid fire department.
Mr.. Smith secured the passage Of
his bill for the protection of birds
other than game birds and imposing
penalty for their slaughter. This
measure was recommended by Coy.
Longino's final message.
The senate wrangled for more than
an hour over the question of what cob
stitutes a legislative day, the matter
having been brought up on an attempt
to call UP a motion to reconsider a
bill passed. This question always
brings about a debate In the senate
at each session, and was decided In
the same old way, the effort to bring
up the motion to reconsider being lost.
8. B. No. AZ, relative to the payment
Of premiums on official bonds wa
passed. S. B. No. 10. relative to land
assessments, was indefinitely postpdn-
ed. The judiciary committee made a
favorable report on the measure In
| ereasing the salaries Of county super
i%ntendents.
Chairman John Millsaps OF the
house judiciary committee held a con
ference with State Revenue Agent Nd
ans regarding the proposed amend
ments to the statutes governing The
| Office Of revenue agent, which are now
pending in the house and are in the
hands of the judiciary committee.
"Jim Crow Bill Passes the HOUSE.
BY a practically unanimous vote The
lower house of the Legislature passed
the Collier Jim Crow" law, requiring
NAN~
I street railroads operating in Mississlp
pi to provide separate cars or com
partments for the white and colored
races. The debate on the meas ure
was brief, and only two votes ERE
cast against it, those voting in the
negative being Mr.. Brown of Adams
and Mr.. Sample of Holmes. The law
is quite stringent, modelled after the
n now In force in Louisiana, and
provides a punishment Of a fine OF NOT
more than $25 and a sentence OF not
more than thirty days in jail for per-
| sons refusing to occupy the cars or
compartments assigned to them.
| Heavy punishment is also prov lded
for the companies refusing to arrange
separate accommodations.
A measure almost identical in It's
terms was offered in the house oy Mr.

Aside from the introduction Of a few
bills in the senate the Legislature

by the inaugural ceremonies.
As required by the constitution, both
houses went through the formality OF
electing two United States senators,
Nessrs. A. J. McLaurin and H. D.
Money being chosen by reclamation
and without opposition.
Both houses Adjourned early in the
day for the inaugural ceremonies,
which were held in the hall Of the
house Of representatives. After the
Inaugural address the new governor
was sworn into Office, the oath being
administered by Chief Justice Whit
Held of the Supreme Court. After the
ceremonies incident to the inaugura-
tion both houses met in their respec-
tive chambers but nothing of a general

State Entomology.

Senator Magruder's bill to create
the Office of State entomologist and a
State board of entomology places the
duties of the latter position on the
president and board of trustees Of the
Mississippi Agricultural ald Mechan'
ical College, and gives this board the
power to select the entomologist and
an assistant, whose duty it shall be
to eradicate the Mexican boil weevil
and all other insects dangerous to
plant life and all forms of plant dis
eases. The measure is quite lengthy,
providing the methods of extinction,
establishing embargoes against cotton
cottonseed and other products likely
to be infected with the boil weeviI
larvae or other forms Of insect life,
and requires regular reports to be
made, and gives authority to the of
ficials to promptly act on information
of infection in any locality.

Awakina Considerable Sentiment.

There is considerable sentiment i'll
the legislature for the bin introduced
by Senator Moore providing for the
abolition of the county leasing sys
TEN. A number OF the most infuen
tial papers In the State have come
out in favor of doing away with the
leasing Of county convicts and advo-
eating the passage Of the bill intro
duced by Senator Moore. The county
convict system is the only remnant
of the old leasing system In evidence
Ia the State, and it il believed that
this should be done away with just as
soon as possible to do 50. The bill
provides that the county boards may
work their conyicts on the county
roads or on farms, but that they must
at all times be under the superyis'
ion of agents appointed by the boards.

Farmer on Control Board.

Senator Belk wants to relieve the
attorney general from serving on the
prison board of control, ald has in
troduced a measure TO this effect in
the senate. The chief objection raised
to such a step is that the board OF
control is always in need OF a legal
adviser, concerning contracts, sales.
etc, and the attorney general is there
fore of special value in this respect
Two years ago Attorney General NC
Clurg asked to be relieved from sery'
ing on the board, but the legislature
declined to grant the request. Sena'
tor Belk's bill proposes the election OF
a first-class farmer in lieu Of the at
torney general,

Incidental Measures.

Among the incidental measures in
troduced in the senate OF general pub
lie interest is the bill by Senator II.
X. McLauril. Of Warren. who wants
the first Monday in September, known
as Labor Day, observed as a legal hol.
iday in Mississippi. The legislature
heretofore has always been willing to
create as many holidays as the people
want, and Senator McLaurin is prac-
tically assured of getting what he asks
for.
Senator Marlborough wants females
allowed to practice law in case they
are properly qualified, and If he steers
his measure straight enough through
the committees ald has it properly
booked after in the house it will
doubtless be c~rystallized into law.
Thus far, however, no promising
crop of Portals is in prospect.

Rntatlnn In ONCE.

Quite q stir has bean created in the
lower house by the BIZ! offered by Mr..
Foster, of Warren, providing that no
State officer shall succeed himself, or
succeed another official. Il this meas
ure should be adopted it would affect
several officials who are now IN office,
and it is being strongly urged by those
who believe in official rotation, and
giving everybody a chance to get at
the pie counter. The law at present
prohibits the governor, auditor and
treasurer from succeeding themselves
or each other. Mr.. Fosters bill Is
pending before the judiciary commit
tee, and 1t is understood that it has
a good chance OF securing a favorable
recommendation.
