Liberality of @. & G.

Gov. Vardaman has received a let
ter from the Queen & Crescent sys-
TEN advising him that no charge will
be made for the transportation of the
convicts and the relief party that
went from here to Meridian after the
storm. The letaer to the governor
comes from President Harvey of the
Alabama & Vicksburg road.
Mr.. Harvey says:
"With reference to the conveyance
to Meridian on Monday last of some
forty convicts to assist in clearing
away the debris resulting from the
recent disastrous cyclone and also to
the conveyance of several members
of the legislature from Jackson to
Meridian and return on the same date
I beg to say that the Alabama &
Vieksburg railway company will
make no charge for its services in
this respect. Its management is glad
to have the opportunity of joining
in the good work of assisting the
unfortunate sufferers of Meridian. "
The cost of transportation for the
party going and coming would have
been about $3.50.

To Name Cadets,

Members Of the Mississippi delega-
tion In congress are now preparing
to name the cadets from this state to
the naval academy at Annapolis and
the military academy at West Point.
The selections will be made with
in the next few weeks, and in ma
jority of instances competitive exam
nations will be held This method,
while not obligatory, is regarded as
the most satisfactory, for the mem
bers of congres can feel some assur-
ance that the applicant who success
fully stands the examination will also
be able to matriculate at the naval
or military institutions.
Congressman F. A. McLain of the
seventh district announces a competi-
tive examination at Crystal Springs
on March 10, to select cadet for the

tion will be conducted by Prof. Fl. P.
Todd, and applicant must be between

No More Tobacco.

President E. L. Stephens, Of the
Southwestern Louisiana Industrial In
stitute has announced to the students
that hereafter the use of tobacco on
or off the grounds will be strictly pro-
hibited. The new rule came as re-
suit of faculty meeting, it being the
concensus of opinion that several stu
dents had become virtually incapac-
itated for mental and physical exer-
else by the excessive use of tobacco.
The boys will have the alternative of
quitting the weed or leaving the
school.
Cigarette smoking seems to be at
the bottom of the trouble. Although
the faculty anticipates some breaches
in the regulation, it is hoped by them
that the honor of the students will
assist in abating, if not entirely sup
pressing, the practice.

Barber Shops Under Law.

TIL city council of Lafayette has
adopted an ordinance bringing barber
shops under the operation of the Sun
day law. Shops are ordered closed
from II O'Clock, Saturday night, to
II clock Sunday night, under pen
atty of fine of $25 for each violation.
The question as to whether the coun-
Gil should take such action was sub
mitted for legal advice. Upon a fav-
orable opinion from the attorney the
council passed the ordinance agree
able to a petition of all the local bar
bers. The opinion prevails that the
barber shops do not come within the
provisions of the Sunday law, and
that legislative enactment is necessary
to exempt them from labor in the day
of rest.
