Sustained the Demurrers.

The demurrers to the indictments
against VIM. Startling, cashier, and
DIR. J. S. Walker, president OF the
Merchants and Planters Bank, for re-
ceiving deposits knowing the bank to
be insolvent, occupied the attention
of the court at Greenville an entire
day. The arguments of the attorneys
was concluded at 4 o'clock, and the
Judge Immediately announced his de-
cision, by sustaining the demurrers,
holding that the count contained DIS
tinct charges, and that more than one
offense. could not be charged in the
count, and for other reasons not nee
essary to state. He then bound, the
defendants over under the same bond
until the meeting of the next grand
jury, which convenes in June. The
counsel in the case on both sides are
among the ablest lawyers the state.

MISSISSIPPI STATE
HAPPENINGS
ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM ALL
SECTIONS.
AN EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Culled From the Important Happen
ings Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed in
Brief. b.
Coal Oil Bill.

Prof. W. II. Hand, state chemist at
the Mississippi experimental station,
has given his official approved and en-
dorsement Of the coal oil inspection
bill offered in the lower house by Rep
resentative Brooks, of Noxubee, and
the author of the measure is confident
Of its passage at this session.
The bill is in much better shape
than the measure offered by Mr..
Brooks in 1904, and it is doubtful 1t
it contains any features to which a
valid objection can be made, unless it
is the section authorizing the govern
or to appoint the inspectors, one for
each county in the state. Some mem
bers believe that the governor already
has too much appointive power and
that the inspectors should be selected
by the boards of supervisors. This
however, is merely detail The OBJ
ject and purpose of the bill is gener-
ally recognized as good. 1t provides
for the thorough inspection of all IL
Eliminating oils offered for sale in the
state, and tina no oil should be Of
fered in the state which flashes at less
than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, or will
burn at less than 130 degrees Fahren-
heit, when subjected to test with a
closed tester, either the Elliott or New
York system. Fees for inspection are
prescribed, the inspector to receive
one and one-half cents per gallon
when inspection is made in quantities
of less than 200 gallons; one cent per
gallon for less than 400 gallons and
one-half cent per gallon for more than
400 gallons. The inspector must give
bond in the sum Of $1,000, and shall
not be in any way interested in the
handling of oils, either wholesale or
retail.

Looks for Long Term.

Senator Dunn, of the senate finance
committee, expresses the belief that
the present session of the legislature
will last fully three months, provld-
ing the adoption of the new annotat-
ed code is attempted.
tIt will take at least two months
and probably longer, to dispose OF the
code work. - says Senator Dunn,
"and the volume contains SO many
changes that it will be necessary for
the committees to closely scan every
line of the volume, and make conlpari-
sons with the statutory law now in ex-
istence.
"The dummy code contains a
great deal of new legislation, and the
committees should realize at the very
beginning that it is their duty to per-
form the work to which they are as
signed with the greatest care and eau
we ought to finish the remaining work
in thirty days.

Bar Association.

A meeting was held in the house OF
representatives of members of the leg
lature, for the purpose of organizing
state bar association. Hon. T. G.
Catchings addressed the meeting and
stated that the new code provided for
state bar association, and gave 1t a
legal status similar to the medical
men. He strongly advocated bar
association. 1t was resolved that a
general meeting of the lawyers OF the
state should be called to meet here
on Jan. 25, for the purpose of organ
izing, and a special committee was ap-
pointed to arrange for this meeting.

Postofiice Burglarized.

The post Office, the express Office
and the store of the Nolia Mercantile
Company at Nolia, village on the
Pearl River railroad fifteen miles east
Of Brookhaven, we're burglarized,
Only dollar or two was secured at
the post office, but the express office
lost about $100. At the Nolia Mer-
camille Company's store the safe was
dynamited, but the burglars failed to
get into the strong box, which contain
ed about $3.50. After the burglary
they stole DR.. Little's horse and bug
gy and drove to Broekhaven and, it
is believed, took the early south bound
train here about daylight. The horse
and buggy were discovered on back
street about 10 o'clock by Nolia peo-
pie who were in pursuit.

Slap at Eastern Lines.

Chicago. the first time in its
history the Northwestern road has Sc
cured an outlet by way Of Gulf ports.
It has announced a rate effective OF
eighteen cents on corn from Omaha to
New Orleans. The grain is to be de-
livered to the Illinois Central road at
Dixon, Ill. This joint traffic arrange
ment with the Illinois Central road
IS hard slap at the Eastern lines,
and may seriously affect Chicago bust
ness unless the Eastern roads make
some counter move. Other Western
lines will likely follow the move OF
he Northwestern, thus pouring the
iowa corn into the Gulf ports instead
II through the usual Atlantic coast
channel.

four years ago, the price had doubled

claring that it was organized to fight
