M Getting with Success.

The movement to organize q COM
press company at Jackson and pro-
vide ways and means to build and
maintain a frst-class cotton stor-
age warehouse and compress, which
assumed definite shape at the over
flow meeting has been commented on
favorably and Judging from what is
heard there seems to be no doubt Of
The ability Of the men engaged IN
launching the enterprise to secure all
the stock necessary, and with about
$4,000 already subscribed, the bal
ance will be easily obtained. 1t
is pretty certain that this is not a
momentary or passing fancy, or
fboom," as the term is understood,
but a practical movement, which will
result in something being done which
while it will naturally directly benefit
Jackson very considerably, will also
be of benefit to the peope Of the sur
rounding territory, especially those
who are raising cotton and who wish
to hold it until such time as it suits
their interests to dispose Of it, hence
the warehouse proposition particular
ly recommends itseH.

STATE HAPPENINGS

AN EPITOME OF THE. NEWS
Culled From Important Happenings
Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed
F. In Brief.
Wants Crime Avenged.

Determined that her fathers slayer
shall be punished to the limit for his
crime, Miss Mamie Gillis, handsome
and attractive young lady from Sum-
nit, has presented to Gov. Vardaman
a contemplation protesting against
Cearley, white man, who is now
serving life sentence in the penl-
tentiary.
Miss Gillis brought the petition to
an extension of clemency to Joe Nc
Jackson In person and presented 1t
to the governor, also making an elo-
quent personal appeal against the is
suance of a pardon to the convict,
and the present indications are that
she will win her fight.
Miss Gillis' father. 7. B. Gillis,
night marshal at the town Of Summit
was shot and killed about three years
ago by Joe McCearley. The latter
was intoxicated at the time, and the
officer was trying to take him to
Jail.
The energy and determination
shown by Miss Gillis inthe matter has
aroused the liveliest interest. She
framed the contemplation immedi-
ately after learning that petition
was being circulated in behalf of Nc
Cerley, and carried it into every town
in Pike county, appealing to citizens
to sign it in vindication of her dead
father Hundreds of people readily
granted her request, and.'the petition
presented by the young lady is such
a formidable document that the gov
ernor is not likely to deny it.

Another Bungle.

Another legislative bungle has come
to light. Through some oversight. the
lawmakers failed to make the usual
appropriation for the support OF the
Agricultural Experiment Station, To-
Gated in Washington county, and the
work of that station, which Prof.
Hutchinson, ths director, regards as
one Of the most important in the
state, will be necessarily limited dur
ing the next two years.
The bill carrying the usual appro-
priation passed the senate, and it is
believed that it passed the house, but
this cannot be determined until the
journal is examined, and the copy for
that volume is now in the hands of
the printer at Nashville. However,
the bill was never signed by the gov
ernor, and it does not appear among
the enrolled acts of the session.
An effort will be made by the board
of trustees to borrow sufficient money
to support the station during the next
two years, trusting TO the next legis-
lature to reimburse the sum.
Not less than a dozen serious over
sights and errors have been developed
since the legislature adjourned, and
the amount of their bungling is appar-
ently without limit.

Police who answered his appeal with
grim laughter.
He was carried back to prison Oh

Back Tax Haul.

State Revenue Agent Writ Adams
has fled back tax claims at Vicksburg
against the Vicksburg Waterworks
Company aggregating nearly 100000,
and the officials of the company have
been cited to appear to show reasons
why these claims should not be paid.
The claim in behalf of Warren coun
ty amounts to $3S,0S0, and for the
city of Vicksburg 47,6O0. The states
claim is about $4,000.
The property assessment against the
corporation for a period of several
years amounts to $2,3S0,000. The
state tax levy is six mills, Warren
county sixteen mills, and the city of
Vicksburg twenty mills.
This is the heaviest claim that has
been filed by the Revenue Agent for
several months. He has retained at
torpeys, who are confident that the
claims can be collected and chat the
waterworks company is delinquent for
the above sums. The corporation has
been winning suits in the state and
federal courts for several months, the
city trying to forfeit its franchise,
but this is one claim that is likely
to cause great deal of trouble.
