0PIE CASE
HEARD BY
The COURT

There was a good deal Of time taken
today in the hearing OF the case OF Philip
II. Opie OF Westerly against Ann T.
Clancy in Judge Blodgetts court. The
question involved is what is the meaning
OF the word absence in the statute. which
provides that the assistant trial justice
may sit In district court and decide
cases in the absence OF the Judge.
At the trial Of the case OF Ann T. Clan
cy vs. Philip II. Opie, Judge Sweeney
was disqualified to sit and he left the
court house at Westerly and had the as
sistant try the case. Counsel for Opie
claims that absence means outside the
jurisdiction and that the case should have
gone 10 the Justice OF the adjoining dis
trict for hearing
Judge Blodgett sent the matter to the
full bench.

proper:
Whereas, 1t has come to the
attention of the State Board OF
Health that certain mercenary
individuals have taken advantage
of this emergency to make money
by the sale of health certificates,
and as we regard such conduct
as flagrantly improper and de-
serving the condemnation of all
right thinking and right feeling
people, and to the end that this
abuse may be corrected:
SIT is therefore ordered by the
State Board of Health of Missis-
sippi that all inspectors on trains
and all local health authorities,
from and after Sept. y, 1905, will
not honor any health certificate,
issued after said 22nd OF Septem-
Der, for which a charge in excess
of 25c has been made, which fact
must appear on the face of said
certificate, in print or in writing
in these words: Not more than
25c was charged for this certifi-
cate.
Attention is directed to a for
mer order promulgated by this
board permitting not more than
25c to be charged to cover ac-
tuai exp nses of issuing health
certificates.

To START FIGHT
AGAINST LIQUOR.
Mississippi PrOhibitiOnists Get
ting Ready to Launch Campaign
PLANS DETAIL OF WARFARE.
To Strive For Passage of Bill Submitting
Constitutional Amendments TO People.

A Jackson special says: Al
though no definite date for the
meeting has yet been announced, !,
it is expected that the prohibition
executive committee will meet in
jackson during the month Of Mo-
vember for the purpose of launch
ing the campaign to secure the
enactment of q prohibition clause
in the State constitution.
1t had been originally intended
to hold the meeting earlier in the
year, but the quarantine inter
ferred, and would doubtless have
prevented representative atten-
dance had the session been held.
1t is undoubtedly the almost
unanimous sentiment of the pro-
hibitionists of the State to make
a fight for constitutional prohi-
bition, and they will not be sat-
isfied with the enactment of a
statutory measure. The battle
will be relentlessly waged prior to
and during the legislative session
and at the meeting of the State
Executive Committee g mem rial
will be adopted in which the leg
islators will be asked to declare
themselves on the question.
The leaders OF the movement
feel that they heve a far better
chance TO secure the passage of
a bill submitting the proposed
constitutional amendment to a
special election than they would
have TO pass Astatutory measure,
for in voting on an amendment
the legislator does not in reality
express his own sentiment, but
only e i've s his constituents a |
chance to decide the question.
In discussing this subject last
night prominent prohibitionist
said:
"For the p t several years
the number of saloon counties in |
the States has been steadily on a |
decrease until now only a COM
partively small number are in ex-
istence. The people have un-
mistakably shown in every coun-
ty where the question has been
voted upon that they do not want |
the open saloon, and we now be-
lieve that the time is ripe to COM
pletely abolish it from the State.
We will make the fight for con-
etitutional prohibition on h e
ground solely that it is the duty |
of every legislator to allow the |
people to give voice to their sen
timents. | believe the amend |
ment will carry if it is submitted |
to vote, and the saloon will be
forever abolished in Mississippi.

GOV. VARDAMAN REFUSES
To PAY PREMIUM
ON EQUITABLE INSURANCE COMPANY.
Because II is Run BY Thieves, Robbers
and Marauders." Opposed to South
ern Money GOlng Into Republican
Campaign Funds and Enrich
Ing the Rehber BaTons Who
Paupsrize the South.

There are but few people, if an,
in the South, who do rot fully
agree with Gov. Vardaman il
what he says in the following
taken from the Mississippi De-
partment of the Commercial APP
peal:
Gov. Vardaman wrote letter
to the Memphis office of the Equit.
able Life Company this evening
refusing to pay a premium due
on a policy. In this letter the
governor said:
ST shall not pay this premium,
but rather think that | shall per-
nit the policy to forfeit and be-
come void. | do not care to con-
tribute any more to the gaiety OF
that crowd of robbers, thieves and
marauders who seem to infest the
Equitable in New York. The
policy is only a year old and
have but little to lose by surren-
dering it at this time.
In explaining his position about
the matter the governor, in an
interview, said he strongly fa-
vored the suggestion of org aniz-
ing Southern insurance compa-
nies. He said: ''I think also
that the State should toke a hand
in helping the organization OF
such companies. Life insurance
is solely for the protection of
widows and orphans, and state
could not do better than assist in
the organization and supervision
of companies for perfecting this
protection, cheapening the rate
of insurance and enabling those
who would be otherwise destitute
to educate their children to the
highest type of manhood and
womanhood.
81 think" continued the gov
ernor, ''that every Southern man
ought TO cease patronizing these
monster insurance trusts that are
fattening every day off the mil
lions drained out of the South,
and are using this very money
we contribute in strengthening
the clutches which they hold on
the Republican party and in main
tanning the commercial suprem-
acy of the East, which is pauper-
izing the laboring classes of the
country. This money that we
Southern men pay in life insur-
ance premiums finds its way into
Republican campaign purses and
finds its way into the gigantic
financial swindles, concocted in
Wall street, for manipulating the
markets of the world and enrich
ing the operators at the expense
of the laboring man. Every man
who holds policy of insurance
in these concerns is practically
contributing money TO a fund
which is used largely for pauper-
izing the South
