We'nsd'y night just about good

Later we went to a caff, where
a nigger waiter told US the play

an to be in style we should or
der frog legs an French brandy.
We amt got good and sober yit

heart, the wall paper dropped

the season was played Friday
night at the Athletic Club be-

dent G. c.. Harvey, Of the Queen
C Crescent system. declining to
make any charge whatever for
the special train furnished over
the A. G V. road last Saturday
morning to convey members of
the legislature and squad Of
fifty convicts to Meridian.
President Harvey states in his
letter that the Queen & Crescent
management sis glad that we
had the opportunity Of joining
you in the good work of assisting
the unfortunate citizens of Merid-
ian, and that no charge what
ever will be made for the special.
The railroads have been ex-
ceedingly kind and generous to
the State government in matters
of this character. The roads
have never charged the governor
for the special trains frequently
used in transporting troops to
rescue prisoners from mobs, or
to prevent threatened lynchings,
and during the yellow fever in
fections last summer special
trains were kept constantly in
readiness at the principal juno
ton points to be used in carrying
yellow fever experts to diagnose
suspicious cases, for which no
charges were made in any in
stance.

GIRLS FIND A
CHAMPION
The Telephone LaSSies Have A
Friend in MIR. MCLduTip,
Of ShaTkey.

A Jackson, Miss, special says:
The telephone girl, the lassie who
is supposed to answer "hello'' If
you wait long enough at the 9TH
er end of the line, has at last
found friend.
Mr.. McLaurin, of Sharky, has
introduced bill making 1T
a misdemeanor, punishable by a
Ene of from SIC to $50 for work
ing any telephone girl, or other
female employe, more than eight
hours per day.
AT present there is no union of
the hello girls in Mississippi, and
if an organization of any sort ex-
lists among them it is not publicly
known, although its existence is
sometimes strongly suspected.
The McLaurin bill. if passed,
would create a labor union for
the girls, and perhaps some day
when the lines are not busy they
will come up to the state house
and lobby for it's passage.
The same bill also seeks to rap
the telephone companies for fail
ure to make prompt connections,
by providing a punishment of
S25 for each instance Of neg
ligence, careIessness or gross
failure to make a long distance
connection when same IS request
ed. 1t further provides that Sin
such instances mental anguish
shall be an element Of actual
damages, and If the conduct Of
such company be malicious,
wanton, wilful, reckless, capri
cious or grossly negligent, punt
tive damages shall be assessed, -
all of which suggests that per-
haps the author has recently
been up against itin trying to do
some long distance talking.

Birmingham got together in
the second half and allowed the
locals to score but three, while
they piled up nine. making the
final score 19 to 9 in favor of the
non-workers.
Though defeated the local
boys put up a good fight and at
times showed flashes of team
work that brought the crowd TO
its feet. Their worst fault was
their wild throwing for the bas-
ket. Time after time they work
ed the ball within striking dis
tance of the goal only TO fail on
the throw, but take it all in all
it was a good game. The teams

WILL RUN FOR GOVERNOR
Chancellor ]. F. MCCO0I, Of KGSCiaSk0,
Wants High Office.

A special from Jackson, Mis-. i,
. the News Scimitar Of March
2. says
'Chancellcr J. F. McCool. Of
Kosciusko, is expected to formal
" announce his candidacy for
governor within the next few
DAY S. His close personal friends
state positively that he will be in
the race, ana the forthcoming
announcement will be looked for
ward to with much interest, as it
viii doubtless be accompanied by
a summary o. the platform or
which he intends to make his
race.
Chancellor McCoolis one Of the
best known men in public life in
Mississippi, lawyer of expert
ence and ability, and has many
warm friends and supporters
throughout the commonwealth.
He was speaker of the lower
house of the legislature during
the McLaurin administration and
made splendid presiding officer,
showing executive ability of high
character, his previous legislative
service covering a period of sew
eral years, admirably qualifying
him for the place. He was an
aspirant for the governorship
just prior to the opening of the
last State campaign, but for per-
sonal reasons decided to retire
before the actual fight was CON-
menced.'

A FAVORABLE
REPORT MADE
Quarantine Measure Amended
By House Committee is
FavOrabIy Reported.

A Washington, Special says:
"By vote of II to 2 the House
Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce agreed today
to make a favorable report on a
committee substitute for the Will
liams bill to extend Federal con-
troll of quarantine. Representa-
tives Bartlett of Georgia, and
Russell Of Texas, cast the mega
tive votes and will make a minor
ity report opposing the measure
on the ground that it is unconsti-
tutional in that it interferes with
the rights of states. Represent
ative Wagner will make the re-
port on the bill.
The bill is essentially the same
as the amended Mallory bill re-
ported by the Senate Committee
on Public Health and National
Quarantine with the additional
two important amendments. One
of these amendments extends
Federal control to interstate
quarantine and is as follows:
Section !. That il shall be un-
lawful for any state or municipal
health officer or othe person t.
hinder, obstructor unneccessari-
ly delay any common carrier or to
interfere with any instrumentaLty
Of commerce engaged in the
transportation Of passenger s Or
freight between the states.
Provided, that this act shall not
De construed as giving authority
to any person to debark or unload
freight at any locality against the
state or municipal regulation of
such loo 4lily. Any person violat-
ing the provisions Of this section
shall be guilty of misdemeanor
ano, on conviction thereof, be
punished by a fine not exceeding
$500 or by Imprisonment for
period not exceeding one year, or
by both such fine and imprison-
ment IN the discretion of the
court,
Another amendment provides
that when the government ac-
quires property for quarantine
use, the states shall release all
rights to the property when the
purchase price is paid.
The bill in its amended form
provides for the establishment of
four harbors of refuge, Of which
Dry Tortugas is to be one. The
Secretary Of the Treasury is
placed in direct control Of quaran-
tine and is to administer it
through the public health ana
marine hospital service. The biu
carries an appropriation Of $500,
900 to carry its provisions into
effect"
