All privilege taxes in the State are due

tax collectors are required to publish
notice to that effect four consecutive
weeks. All those who do not have their
privilege paid during May are lab le to
arrest and the doubling or the sum they
are naturally due. No discretion is lett

A SONS TRIBUTE.
Gov. Vsrdaman Writes Beautifully
and TenderIy of His 7other.

Gov. Vardaman has given out the fol-
lowing touching tribute to his mother,
in response to the many 6elegrams and
letters of sympathy on her death:
Executive Mansion, Jackson, Miss,
March 23rd, 1905.
"To my friendg: - 1t matters not
whether it comes in the rose-tinted
morning of infancy, when all earth spar
kles with the dewdrops of joy; or like
the thunderbolt falling unheralded from
clear sky, in the full-orbed monday
of manhood; or quietly taking posses
sion of it's victim, in the evening of life,
when shadows of night are fast gather
ing around the stopped and aged form,
death is tragedy as deep and dark as
can be woven of the warp and woof of
despair.
"While we know that all who breathe
and tread the earth today must at last
share the destiny of those who have
passed over that Bridge which spans the
mysterious river tho dividing Eao 1o~
tween the two eternities-still, when the
end comes and our loved ones are car
ried from us, we are wholly unprepared
for the sacrifice, and in the shadow of an
overwhelming sorrow the heart staggers,
hope grows dim for time, and human
understanding is turned to confusion.
"And especially is that true, if that
loved one be the mother. Mother! The
sweetest word that ever sanctified hu
man lips, or glorihed the human voice
the well-spring of hope and inspira-
ton, the benediction to mankind.
"For all have, or hope to be, owe
my mother. In the hour of adversity,
when the obstacles across my pathway
seemed insuperable, her judgment was
always unerring, and her consuming
love was tonic to my Tagging spirits.
In her life she bodied forth the spirit Of
the Nazarine living the things that
others prayed; and it mattered not how
great the trial, or dark the prospects,
she looked into the future, with the eye
of faith, and her sublime soul was Sc
rene. Even though the
"Face of God grew dim,
She held through the dark and trusted
Him."
"I know she is at rest tonight, but her
going has left vacancy in my life,
which eternity alone can fill.
"For the generous and loving friends
whose tender sympathy, sweet words Of
comfort and kindly Offices have contrib
uted so much to lessen the weight oi
sorrow, in this sad hour, have not Ian
guage with which to express my graft
tude and love. God grant that they
may not be called upon to bear like
affliction.
81. K. VARDAMAN."

OYSTER SEA SON
s1as Been the flost Successful on
Record.

The oyster sea son on the Mississippi
Gulf Coast, now nearing its close, has
been the most successful within the
memory of persons engaged IN the in
dustry.
The revenues paid into the State
treasury by owners of oyster boats and
canning factories will aggregate nearly
s25. 900 for the season, ending on May
/, This is an increase of 80 per cent
over the receipts of last year, and 50 per
cent more than the previous year. The
revenue is derived from a tax Of 2 cents
per barrel on all oysters taken in Mis-
sissippi waters.
Shipments to northern markets have
been rather light since the advent OF
warm weather, but there has been no
in the catch, as canning fac
tories are running on full time, and
Unany have employed additional labor.
After May the Mississippi Oyster
Commission will submits a report to the
Governor summarizing it's work since
Sept. |, and during the summer months
the commission will spend about S12,oOt
planting shells on reefs and otherwise
improving the oyster beds. The State
will have net profit OF about slO,oo0 on
the season.

NO TORE STEAM.
New York Central to Try Electricity
For It's Read.

1t was announced during the present
week that the officials and directorate of
the New York Central have decided that
if the eledtric motors tn are to be used
on the division between Jne Grand Cen
trail terminal and Croton are successful,
in the future no steam locomotives will
be ordered, and that as new engines are
required, electric engines will be ordered,
and gradually the entire motive power
on the road will be changed from steam
to electricity.
1t was with a knowledge of this de-
cision that Senator Derow, at recent
dinner of the Transportation Club, said:
81 predict that in fifty years there will
not be a steam locomotiy in the country
except in a museum"
Within the last few l1onths the Off
cials of the road have been making ex-
haustiye tests of these new motors, which
are to supplant the steam engines on the
division adjacent to NeH York. These
tests have been exceptionally satisfac-
tory.

CAN'T USE SPEg IAL TAX.

Inc ooara OF supervisors of Lee coun-
ty has submitted to the encouragement
a proposition that seems as plain as the
mondays sun to that official, and he has
told them what to door rather what not
to do-in very few words. A year or
two since the county of Lee levied a spe-
cial road tax of one mill on all the taxa
bic property in that county. The roads
were never let out on contract, however,
and the county still has the special fund
on nand. The supervisors want to know
if they can use it for any other purpose,
and the States legal advisor tells them
no. Lee will have to come to the next
legislature for relief.

TnF NEW CODE is LARGE.
VIII Contain Three Hundred More
Pages Than At Present.

Before lea1-ing Jackson last Saturday,
SAYS the Clarion Ledger, one OF the
code commissioners was appealed to for
a statement of the cost of the new code,
contraat of the printing OF which had
lust been let to the Brandon Prinung
Company. of Nashville, Tenn, but he
declined to say just what the work was
tocost the State, and gave his reasons.
1t seems that the new code is to be
mich larger volume than the last, ana
that was big one, containing as it does
about 1850 pages. The new one will be
about three hundred pages larger than
the old, because of the TACT that there
arb great many more Jaws to be con-
tended with, and for the further reason
thast annotations are very full and take
upfa great deal of room.
1rhe cost of the work depends largely
onl thc legislature in the long run. 1t
maIy be that the legislature will not have
thek same printers to do the final work.
The law creating the present code COM
m,ssioners provided that they should
havle only 400 copies printed, and those
wefe to be for the use of the Legislature
in jthe adoption of the code. The COM
misssioners were of the opinion that al
led st 5000 copies of the new code would
be necessary, and thew have made . con-
.dittional contract with the printers fol

THE Mss. GULF COAST
TROLLEY CAR LINE.
Charter to be Soon Issued by Gov.
Vsrdanan For tn g Compasy, Capit-
aitxed st Oae rIiilion.

Jackson. Miss, March 29.-Within
the next few days Gov. Vardaman will
receive for approval the charter of in
corporation OF the Gulfport and Missis-
sippi Coast Traction Company, which
proposes TO build an electric line con-
Meeting the coast towns of Gulfport, Pas.
Christian and Biloxi.
The company has been organized with
q capital stock of one million dollars.
and is the most notable enterprise OF a
bona fIde nature that has been launched
in the State for several months. There
will be ten thousand shares of stock in
the sum OF $f0o each.
Although the present plan Of the COM
pany is to connect only the towns OF
Gulfport, Pass Christian and Biloxi, the
authority will be conferred to build a
road from the Alabama line to the Loui-
siana line, traversing the entire Missis-
sippi coast. The company will also be
empowered TO furnish electric currents
for manufacturing plants, and to build
such branch lines as it may elect.
1t is a guaranteed fact that the road
will be built, as its principal promoter
is Capt. }. T. Jones, the Buffalo million
sire, who is also presid ent of the Gulf
and Ship Island system.
Hon. w. A. White, one of the incor
porators, who was in Jackson last night,
states that the survey for the electric
road is progr .ssing rapidly. The engin-
eering party has completed it's work to
Henderson's Point, and has secured a
franchise from all of the towns through
which it will pass. An abstract Of all
She land between Gulfport and Biloxi
has been completed and citizens are
freely donating the right of way to the
company.
The Mississippi coast is displaying a
rern& rkablo industrial progress. Among
tho new concerns recently organized is
the Hattiesburg Lumber Company, with
its domicile at Millview, in Harrison
county, and capitalized at 100000. The
promoters are r. w. Huie, G. r. Nicely,
C.. A. Bowman, Geo. B. Young and
Frank Mcclure.
The Beach Land Company has been
organized at Gulfport with a capital
stock of $4,000, and F. 3. and N. H.
Hewes, Rucks, Yerger and others as
incorporators.

HOME PEOPLE SHOULD CON-
troll.

From today's Pass Christian Beacon
"Editor Beacon: Well, sir! What
do you think of it? A few people, most
ly citizens of New Orleans, holding
meeting in that city and attempting to
dictate to the people and authorities of
Pass Christian concerning the affairs Of
the town. This was and is certainly a
case of "stub" tail trying to wag the
dog.
"These people, or some of them, own
summer homes here, live here three
months in the year, bring nearly every
thing they consume with them, yet want
this town run to suit them. II they
think that the present administration
can be dictated to by a few "summer
visitors, then they are mistaken in the
personnel of the Board.
"This New Orleans meeting declared
tnat "snap Judgment" had been taken
by the authorities. Now, il they were
up-to-date and subscribed for the "Bea-
con-, as our citizens do, they would have
known from the published proceedings
that there was large petition presented
to the Board urging the council to use
every effort to have the railway COM
pany to build through Pass Christian;
this was after the mayor had been in
structed to appoint committee to So
licit names to petitions, to that erect,
at previous meeting.
SHOW, Mr.. Editor, this town has been
kept back by these people long enough,
and we are going to get ''move" on,
so as to keep abreast Of the times, and Il
they do not want to go along with US
ilet them move to Pineyille or some other
secluded village.
"They must not delude themselves in'
to the idea tnat they can dictate the
policy of the town during this admins
tration.
aWe are bona-fid resident citizens oi
the town, live here twelve months IN tht
year, love the town and its beauties
more than they do, and ara not going t.
lhaye any more of its beauties marret

Hon. E. ]. Bowers, of Bay ST. Louis,
member of Congress from the Sixth
Mississippi district, is at the capital.
Mr.. Bowers accomplished some splendid
work during the recent term of Congress,
especially on the rivers and harbors bill,
having secured several good-sized ap-
preparations for harbors on the Gulf
coast and the improvement of rivers in
his district. He is one of the most pop
uIar and energetic members of the Mis-
sissippi delegation at Washington. The
object of his visit to Jackson is to tender
his services to the Mississippi Cotton
Association to deliver addresses at the
county mass meetings to be held over

Growth of the Oyster Industry.

Pass Christian Beacon.
That the present law is proving the
most successful legislation ever enacted
for the oyster industry in Mississippi
there can be no longer any doubt, as the
returns from the State tax of two Genus
per barrel show an increase this season
Of about 80 per cent. over the year be-
fore.
1t is estimated that the total revenue
this year from the oyster tax and license
will aggregate twenty-four thous and
dollars. The law allows the commits
sioners to expend not more than twelve
thousand in arv one year far defrayirg
all expenses and planting of shells, etc.
After this expenditure is made there
will be a balance,,.of twelve thousand
turned into the State treasury from the
present seasons revenues. This is a
result never contemplated by the major
ity of the legislature that enacted the
Bowers law; for in limiting the expen-
ditures at $4,000 they doubted if the
revenues from the source would meet the
expense, and this figure was fixed as a
safeguard on the treasury. The result
of the operation of the law proves that
it is fulfilling the expectations and
claims of its author, in promoting the
industry and as a revenue producing
source to the State, and now since the
returns so far exceed the expense the
law should be amended so as to al
low a greater amount of this revenue to
be expended yearly in the planting Of
shells and charging the reefs.

DEATH ROLL.
MIGUEL CATcHOT.


Sunday morning, in Biloxi, at the
home of his mother, in Lameuse street.
Miguel Catchot, of Bay ST. Louis, born
and reared here, breathed his last, after
comparatively brief illness, of typhoid
fever, superinduced by general break
ing down of health since the death Of
his wife five weeks ago. The deceased
was only % years OF age, and leaves, in
addition to his mother, a sister and
brother, three small children. The death
of so young couple in so short time
has brought forth more than ordinary
expressions of sympathy and attracted
no little attention and comment.

Director Rowland is at loss to know
Just what to do with the several old bat
tie flags recently returned to the State
of Mississippi by act of Congress. These
relics are highly prissd, and it goes with
out saying that souvenir hunters will cut
and tear them all to pieces If they are
not properly attended to. To hang them
on the walls Of the Hall of Fame would
be no better than throwing them out in
the streets, and the only way to keep
the vandals from them is to enclose them
in large glass cases. That is what Mr..
Rowland will do with them if he can
raise the cash necessary to get the cases.
One of the old flags was unfurled at the
rooms of the director recently. 1t was
one that had been through the battles of
Malvern Hill, Manassas, Seven Pines,
and the good Lord only knows where
else. 1t was full of holes-many made
by bullets from the guns Of the enemy,
and others by moths and the corroding
hand of time, so that it must be handled
very carefully if it is to be preserved for
future generations.-Ja special.
