The clerk was permitted to read
the amendments covering ten pages
without interruption, and it looked as
If he might proceed to the end, when
Senator LaFollette offered an amend
ment permitting railroad companies
to grant passes to the officers Of the
railroad employees association. The
amendment was adopted.
At 1:45 p. m. the reading of amend
mentS was concluded and after an
nouncing the third reading of the bill
the chair asked: Shall the bill
pass?"
There were, however, some gen
eral speeches to be made and the
passage was deferred.
After the senate concluded the third
reading of the railroad rate bill to-
day, Senator Rayner took the floor
to discuss the general aspects of the
measure. His speech dealt mainly
with the presidents connection with
the legislation and was largely per-
sonal throughout. Mr.. Rayner said
he was of the belief that the presi-
dent would again change his mind
before this controversy was over and
if the speaker of the house would
nominate a man on the conference
committee who had the courage of
his convictions and would not waver
on the question of constitutional re-
view, the president would abandon the
Allison amendment and go back
again to the Long amendment, the
place that he started from. He said
that Addison had once made the re-
mark that a woman who deliberates
is lost, and that while there was no
chance of anybody ever losing the
president, there was no telling if
within the next few days some new

GREATLY
EXAGGERATED

Some of the opposition papers are
trying to make capital out of the in
cident of the Governor whipping the
negro convict who was so impudent
to him last week, when, in fact, if
this same negro had made the in
sulting remark to them they would
have dealt even more harshly with
him than did the Governor. Because
he is Governor of the State of Mis-
sissippi dies not keep him from
thrashing an insulting negro
This case though has been greatly
exapperated, for the only whipping
this insolent negro received was a

large as a mans small finger. Great

POOR ia DM
NEEDED

Every dav Washington County.
its cities and towns. puts off the pur-
chasing Of a suitable farm to work
the county convicts and erect a house
for the care of its poor, manned and
unfortunates it is failing to do duty
that should be discharged. II it is
wrong for the state to lease her con
victs it is wrong for the county It
may be true the county can make
more out OF the present lease system
but that is not the question-what is
wrong for the State is wrong for the
county and the convicts if rightly
managed on a good farm will not
only bear their expense but will care
for all the poor and unfortunates
that are now cared for by the tax
payers money and surplus will be
left that will in time pay for the
farm and improvements.
No one will deny the need of d
county poor house and this would
in large measure stop scores of beg
gars lined weekly on our streets.
Again it would furnish place to
care for the demented which Jackson
cannot take care of, and as it is now,
the county Jail is the only place to
keep them Many of this class can
do something in the house or garden
to help bear the expenses of the home
We hope our county board will
take up this matter at its next regu-
lar meeting and see what can be done
in the matter 1t has been talked
about FOR years to our knowledge
now cut out talk and act.

The Times is not in sympathy
with the crusade now being made in
the State on patent medicines. There
is hardly a home in the Southland
but upon whose mantle or shelf can
be found a box Simmons Liver Re-
gtaator or Black Draught, Winslow's
Soothing Syrup, Titchenor's Anti
septic, etc, and thousands of people
have been saved or their paid re-
lieved by their use.
People do not have to buy tAtrn
unless they want to- Newspapers do
not have to advertise them unless
they so desire or receive their price.
And for the State Legislature to DEF
mand of them their printed formula,
which is their wealth, only the worth
less connections can be expected to
do so.
This bill is, ia our opinion, the
scheme of few to drive out of the
State the business done by our drug
gists, or a way by which some men
and newspapers are trying to play

a close vote last Thursday. This es-
tablishes the fact that a majority OF

license it.
Mr. Boddie made sffong fight fol
his measure and it was freely admit
ted that his speech was one Of tn,
strongest made in the Legislature
this session. This bill will be brought

WILLIAMS ON THE
PANAMA CANAL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-"Al-
ready the Panama Canal is beginning
to smell like the old French canal
did until its rottenness was exposed
by the French Republic said Re
preventative John Sharp Williams On
the floor of the House today.
I'VE are getting politicians and Of
iceholders to dig a ditch instead OF
going about it in the right and ma
tural way. If man wants canal
dug he usually goes to men who
know something Of digging canals.
He does not consult with artists or
dentists
Mr. Williams was opposing an
item Of S5,34o,7S6 in the Urgency De
fciency bill to carry on the canal
work until the beginning of the next
fiscal year He. declared that the item
is MT deficiency to be passed upon
in a deficiency BILL No man more
than he and no section of the coun-
try more than his wanted the canal
completed, but he did not think the
work is being properly conducted.

English language, and because indeh-

want is a plan for the canal. 1t is
not known yet whether we are to
construct a sea level canal or a lock
canal. yet we go right on purchasing
great quantities of material. If the
work is to be done by contract, as
Chairman Shonts has intimated in a
speech, why should we keep on buy
ing expensive excavating machinery,
&c. What will we do with it after
we let the contracts? Maybe if we
compel the contractors to use the
machinery they will charge more for
their work.
