MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE
 WILL ASSEMBLE AT NOON

with the length of the session, but that cannot be true. It happens that this special session is going to have to adopt a new code of laws for the state and that is what is going to keep them in Jackson three or four months-long after planting time has begun down on the farms of many of the members, who will be wanting to get home. Of course a legislator can make more than s5 at home, and of course they will all want to be getting there before they are through with their work here at the capitol.
 Both houses have been furnished with the handsomest desks and chairs and other furniture since the last session, and the two halls present a glorious ap- pearance in comparison with the scene of the last session. Ex-Attorney General Monroe McClurg dropped in at Represen- tatives hall yesterday and after taking look at the richly appointed apart ments, declared That is enough to make any red-neck get red in the wattles."

It is evident that the big profits of the Tuscaloosa dispensary appealed to the majority there
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-01-02

Jackson, Miss, January 1.-(Special)- The legislature of the state of Missis- sippi convenes in special session tomor- row at noon It Is not expected that there will be anything much done the first day, further than to get well organ ized, choose seats. fill vacancies on com mittees, etc.
 It is understood that the governor $ message will not be read on the. first day of the session. but that it will be sent in on the second day of the term and read in both houses about noon. The document is said to be q long one, GOV ering some six or eight columns and will make It's appearance on Wednes- day morning in print. The governor has devoted a great deal of time and has taken a great deal of pains with this message but 1t is said that he has re- produced almost verbatim what he had to say two years ago on the subject or negro education and the negro generally, dismissing the subject with reproduc- tion of that interesting utterance, as good enough and as good as anything he could write now.
 The officers of the legislature are as follows:
 senate-Ex-Lieut Gov. J. P. Carter, president; E. H. Moore, president pro tenn; John Y. Murry, secretary; l.. F. Chiles, assistant secretary; P. M. A. Self, sergeant -at-arms; H. J. Thornton door keeper; J. J. Ball. assistant doorkeeper.
 House-E. H. Thomas, speaker l.. Pink Smith, clerk; A. H. Hutchinson, sergeant-at-arms; Miss Kate Miller post mistress Elias Phillips doorkeeper; John Garfield, assistant doorkeeper.
 Mir. Phillips, the doorkeeper has died since the last session and his successor will have to be named Col. A. $. Payne of Lowndes county is the only cand- date that has shown up for the place so far. but the chances are that there will be others
 sam D. Harper, assistant to the clerk of tbe House. has also died since the last session.
 number of the members of the law making body have already arrived Tn Jackson They have been here before, and they are aware of the very great trouble the late arrivals have in securing places to board. For that reason they coue carly. Several of them were here Saturday hunting homes for the session. The price of board and lodging has been increased since their last visit to Jack son two years ago, and the charges or some of the boardinghouse keepers have appalled, the solons- Jackson IS fuli or hotels and boarding houses, but just at this particular time of the year they are all filled to overflowing. They are crowded most of the time, but have al- ways been able to make room for the legislators. and will do so again.
 It is confidently predicted this Is go- ing to be one of the very largest ses- sions of the legislature that the state of Mississippi ever experienced. Some are narrow minded enough to charge that because the solons get 8 per day for the special session has something to do

would be to make up a large list At one time 1t was thought that John r. Tillman of Birmingham, would be considered, but he said the other day that no such thing would be done, and that if he had any influence anywhere it would be thrown to James Weatherly of Birmingham. Men who keep posted think that w. H. Thom- as of this city, and A. O. Lane of Bir- mingham. will be among the close run ners If one or the other does not land. Judge Thomas G. Jones, who will be re- lieved by the additional judge badly need ed, will not say who he thinks will stand well or best for the post, as he does not know. As he has many warm friends in the list of possibilities, he will relig- iously keep hands off.
 It is regarded Lat the meeting of the state democratic committee here on January g, will loose all the dogs of political warfare and set them off in a bunch. But at this time there is not any change from the situation of three or four weeks ago. .ie announcement of General Oates has set tongues to wag- ging but so far no other man with an ambition to either get into the great high councils at Washington or stay there, has seen fit to speak out in the print concerning either or any of the sug- gestons made by the erstwnne wire grass congressman. However, it is bruited about that in few days something may be expected and that before the committee meets the members may have letters other than General Oats to ponder over. While the sentiment for a primary for all offices in the state is widespread, 1t is by no means certain that one fot Senator will be adopted without some discussion, that may be prolonged.
