COLUMBUS CHAR
FACTORY DEAL
Its Fate Seems to Be In Hands
OF Local Capitalists

The poperty of the Colum-
bus Chair Company which was
sold at Trustees sale on May 1st,
was bid in by the Progressive
Union for Mr.. Miller, of Missis-
sippi. and Messrs. Hubbard and
Stevens, Of Kentucky, and it is
stated it was their purpose to re-
organize the company. For some
reasons, however, Mr.. Stevens,
who was the expert man, several
days ago decided that he, would
not go into the company and the
property was declined, although
bought at price lower than the
limit which was given the Pro
gressive Union.
There was a well defined rumor
afloat yesterd ay that Mr.. G. F.
Sherrod had agreed to take the
property at So, 10000, the price
which Secretary Sykes bid it in.
Mr.. Sherrod, being one Of our
most progressive citizens, will no
doubt reorganize it and on
basis which will insure its suc-
cess.

MORE BUNGLING DONE
No appropriation Was Made For The
Delta Experiment Station
A sLecial SAYS:

A special says:
Another legislative bungle has
come to light. Through some
oversight the lawmakers failed
to make the usual appropriation
for the support of the agricultur-
al experiment station, located in
Washington county, and the
work of that station, which Prof.
Hutchinson, the director, regards
as one of the most important in
the state, Will be necessarily liN-
|ited during the next two years.
The bill carrying the usual APP
preparation passed the senate,
and it is believed that it passed
the house, but this .can not
be determined until the journal
is examined, and the copy for
that volume is now in the hands
of the printer at Nashville. How
ever, the Dill was never signed
by the governor, and it does not
appear among the enrolled acts
of the session.
An effort viii be made by the
board of trustees to borrow suf-
fioient money to support the STA
ton during the next two years,
trusting TO the next legislature to
reimburse the sum.
Not less than dozen serious
oversights and errors have been
developed since the legislature
adjourned, and the amount of
their bungling is apparently
without limit.

GETS ANOTHER
KNOCKOUT BLOW
Judge Niles Refuses to Grant
c. 0. D. Injunction.
A special from jackson says !:

"A special from jackson says:
A decision of far reaching i'm
portance, and of especial interest
to every prohibition state in the
Union, has been rendered by
Judge Niles on the bill filed by
the Harvest King Distilling Com
pany, of Kansas City, seeking to
secure a mandatory injunction
compelling the American Ex-
press Company to accept for de-
livery G.. O. D. liquor packages
billed to parties in this state.
Judge Niles has sustained the
demurrer filed by the express
company, the prohibitionists, and
the law officers of Mississippi,
and refuses to grant the manda-
tory injunction chiefly for the
reason that at its recent ses-
sion the Mississippi legislature
imposed a prohibitory tax of
$1,000 on each express office
handling shipments OF this char
acter, and enacted several other
statutes seeking to outlaw the
G.. o. d. liquor traffic.
Judge Niles further holds that
the enactment of these measures
by the Mississippi Legislature was
within the limits of its police
powers as outlined in the state
constitution, and that the Ameri-
can Express Company cannot be
compelled to engage in traffic,
lawful or unlawful, that will sub
], ject it to burdensome penalties.
He cites many authorities in sup
port OF his decision.
Briefly stated, the liquor
wholesalers have been given a
knockout blow, and the express
company will not be compelled
to handle G.. o. D. shipments.
1t is expected, of course, that
the case will be carried to the
United States Supreme Court.
The Harvest King Distilling Co.
adopted rather shrewd tactics, as
practically the same decision was
rendered in the Federal Court at
Kansas City three weeks ago by
Judge Mcpherson. The liquor
firm then recalled the fact that it
had been previously granted in
functions in this state, and, be-
lieving that Judge Niles might
take a contrary view of this new
enactment by the legislature, in
s.ituted injunction proceedings
in the court of this state. Since
Judge Niles has also taken sides
with the prohibitionists, the
liquor house is left with hardly a
leg to stand on.
The jackson attorneys who
participated in the arguments. at
Oxford yesterday returned home
this morning. The hearing of
the case occupied all of yester-
days session, and it was believ-
ed that Judge Niles would take
the case under advisement, but
it seems that he was cock ed and
primed for a decision, and the
Kansas City firm was knocked
out of the ring in the first round.

Vicksburg, Miss, special says:
A rather unusual and more or

developed here, in the case of
Frank Layden, the light watch
man for the Mississippi Furni-

the purpose OF selling the things
and forwarding the money to his
sister, who is at school In Nc
Comb City. He showed the po-
lice a registry receipt corroborat-
ing his story. He would have
asked the company to lend him
the money which his sister wrote
for, but they had already ad-

"Girl from Sweden.

The Girl from Sweden" with its
quaint comedy and thrilling scenes, won
many admirers at the Savoy theater last
night. The house was crowded and all
seemed to enjoy the melodrama that was
presented by Fred w. Falkner and his
company. Mamie De Long, as Hulda,
the girl from Sweden, won the hearts of
all. The part is that of an awkward but
shrewd country girl. or the whole com
pany. however, Little Jim, boy about
II years, won the most applause. Chung
Wing, the Chinese cook, was responsible
for much Of the comedy.
Ole Anderson, also Swede, made a
hit and proved himself not SO green as
one might at first think. The plot was
similar to many others that have been
seen here. The scheming villain nearly
ruins the happiness of all the others but
is thwarted time and again by Hulda
and Ole. A number Of very startling
scenic effects are produced during the
presentation Of the piece. In the second
