Severe Weather Reaches Here

On Monday morning a heavy
fall of sleet set in and continued
until the earth was enveloped
and made to loo.Z like a crystal
palace. For several hours the
pedestrian and horseman O;
their way to their respective
places Of business were pepper
ed by the particles of ice and the
ground assumed that slippery
state, when it is a risk to ven
ture out of doors. The only in
habitant that showed any sign
of pleasure at the sudden drop
of the temperature was the
school boy as ne skated along
the sidewalks with anticipation
that snow battle was on the
program at noon recess. He
was disappointed, however, as
the weather continued to grow
colder and at nightfall the ther-
mometer registered about twen-
t.; degrees above zero, the low
est of the season. On Thursday
moring a light snow fell but as
the temperature dropped it did
not remain long.

In Memory of Companion P. M. Savery

The following paper was adopted by
royal arch masons in Tupelo chapter
January, 1907:
Companion P M. Savery was born in
Massachusetts on July 80, 1880. Died
in Tupelo, Mississippi, December, 20,
1906. He married in Missouri in 1858.
He located in Mississippi Immediately af
ter the civil war He was made ma
son at Oxford, Mississippi, May, 1864.
Affiliated with Baldwin lodge 1866, in
which lodge he held membership until
his death. He from time to time filled
many responsible offices and did much
committee work in the grand lodge.
In capitular masonry he was much con-
cerned and was very prominent. He
became royal arch mason at Baldwin
in 1869. He filled the offices in his
home chapter with much credit.
When Baldwin chapter resigned her
charter, Capt Savery became mem

In the death Of Companion Savery
we have lost brother beloved; mason

HORNS LOCKED BY
NOEL And SlSS0N.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 6, (Spe-
cial) The Hon. e. F. Noel and
the Hon. Z U. Sisson, two OF
the candidates for governor,
have locked horns on the propo-
sition to establish State board
of equalization.
In his advocacy of uniform as
sessments, Mr.. Noel declares
that the only method by which
it may be accomplished is a State
board of equalization, and Mr..
Sisson SCOTS at the idea, declar-
ing that it would render it nee
essary for citizens who desire to
enter protests against assess
ment5, to make trip to Jackson
in order to do so. Mr.. Noel con-
tends, however, that this would
not be the case; that the boards
of supervisors of the different
counties would give the purchase
value of property in their coun-
ties, and the State board would
not take cognizance of individual
assessments. but would raise or
lower the basis of values for
each county, to place them on
parity with other counties: that
it is especially important to es-
tablish a State board in order to
secure equitable assessments Of
the corporations, and that the
latter are now paying on only
fourth or one fifth of the value
of their capital stock.

WILL ACCEPT
TWO CENT RATE.
News Scimitar Special.

News Scimitar Special.
jackson, Miss, Feb 6 At the
sitting of the railroad commits
sion last evening, the Illinois
Central, Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley, and the Mobile & Ohio
roads, through their passenger
traffic officials, expressed a will
ingness to acquiesce in the pro-
posed order requiring all rail
roads to sell interchangeable
milage books at two cents per
mile.
This is a decided victory for
Commissioner Kincannon, who
proposed t h e interchangeable
system at reduced rates, and he
is confident that the other roads
in the state will also give their
consent to issuance of the order
since these three large corpora
tions, representing considerably
more than two thousand miles of
trackage, have assented to the
plan.
The other roads have been
granted until the next meeting
to consider the matter, at which
time the formal order will be
adopted. This is undoubtedly
the most important matter ever
handled by the commission, as
regards passenger traffic, for it
means a saving of many thous-
ands of dollars each year to the
travelling public. Mr.. Kincan-
non is handling the matter per-
sonally with the traffic officials,
his purpose being to secure an
amicable agreement, and thus
avoiding litigation prior to the
enforcement of the order, or a
legal test of the commissions
right to reduce railroad fare.

has been started and 1t has succeeded remark
ably well, drawing it's pupils from the worst
sections Of London.
In order to become thoroughly conversant
with farming in all its branches. Miss Alden has
enrolled herself as a member Of the State Agri-
cultural School, at New Brunswick, n. j., where
free courses in agriculture have been recently
instituted. She Is registered both for the animal
husbandry and the market gardening and fruit
growing courses. and so far Is the only woman
in these classes. For some years there has
been a government experiment station at this
point, but not until now have the special courses
for students beer offered, and when several
fine buildings under process OF construction
finished the plant will be quite complete.
Miss Alden has had this idea in her mind
since she was a small child. and she grew
older II seemed to her the only practical solu-
ton of the problem of what to do with the chill
dren OF the city's streets.
