here tonight and give a performance
nt the Park opera house Conse-
queutly tonight thre will be a big

many years had one of the best color

To Refund Money.

Representative Watkins, of Loulsl-

are preparing bills which they will
soon introduce for the purpose OF
relieving persons who suffered great
loss of property by reason of it's con-
fscation by Federal troops during the
late Civil War. Mr. Watkins has in
view particularly general measure
which will cause the distribution of
a fund of perhaps $1O,OOO,OOO held in
trust by the Treasury, being the pro-
ceeds Of certain cotton that was cap
tured and sold. The title to this cot
ton did not pass to the United States
with the taking of it from the owners,
but the proceeds of the sale must re-
main in the treasury until some au-
thority is given for its distribution.
Originally there was about $50, OOO,-
900 in the fund, but part Of this has
been paid out under private acts.
Senator Money for years has been
urging the passage of some special
measure as the one proposed by Judge
Watkins, but the Senate and House
have never taken action at the same
time, although many favorable reports
have been made on the proposition

Worshippers of Gold.

New York.-''The lust for gold and
the hunger for power have ridden
roughshod over liberty and love and

ter of modern society, and the eyes

contributed the expression:

come relative to this extra session,
I believe one thing is sure, and that
Legislature never before in the his
tory Of the state has, as an executive
body assembled in Louisiana, done
more effective work than has this

Conditions have existed in Louis
lana for years which we have depre-
Gated, especially in the matter Of fees
and salaries Of public officials, until
finally public sentiment became so
crystallized that something had to be
done and done we'll.
"Mr. Herman gave facts and figures
which | believe to be correct, show
ing that the State Of Louisiana and
its several divisions will save anna
ally some 100000, which great sum
will go into the general funds, for
the betterment Of the public school
system and the upbuilding of the

Then, before leaving the Speakers
chair forever, as he will not return
to the House, not being a candidate,
with tremor in his voice and almost
choking with emotion, Speaker Hy-
ans said most feelingly:
.I have been a member of the
House for twenty years, and I can
not refrain from a personal refer
ence as we are about to say goodbye
and / am to leave this executive hall
never to return as member. / wish
to extend my heartfelt appreciation
for courtesies that have been shown
me. Each and every member has as
sisted me. Never have I appealed to
this body in vain. Never have / ap-
pealed for just cause, and have
always tried to do the right as God
has shown me the way, that it has
not met with courteous response.

Then what recourse is there for the
man who has been overcharged? His
is small matter and he can't afford
to employ lawyer to collect a claim
Of few cents or possibly few dol
lars. This applies to merchants and
others alike. Some remedial legisla-
ton is needed here. Our people are
deserving of protection. The roads
have their regular lawyers employed
by the year and the individual who
desires his rights is at great dis
advantage This has been going along
for years, then would it be surprising
that if in attempting to remedy this
the legislature might pass law that
roads would deem stringent and
freakish. The roads ignore the regu-
lations of the commission as well as
the rules of classification to an alarm
ing extent with the small shippers
and something should be done for
their protection.
This means a great deal to the peo-
pie of Mississippi. 1t is an agricul-
tural state and will so remain. Then
if the planters will get together and
cooperate with those from other
states for a fair price for their pro-
duct it will mean millions annually
to US. Our present prosperity will
be only the beginning of period be-
yond the expectations of the most OPP
timistic. 1t means a "Greater Mis-
sissippi" in every sense Of the word,
croakers and sore toes to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
