If his wife thought he was only at the
council meetings for an hour, she
might demand an explanation as to
where he had spent the balance of the
time. He said he would respect the
wishes of the meeting and would be-
come candidate for reelection.
Mr. T. A. Hightower was called on
and said that he was not speaker,
but he, too, would respect the wishes
of the meeting and offer for re-elce-
ton.
Aldermen Powe and Collins were
present and were called on for
speeches, but said they were "out Of
their range" and would prefer not to
speak.
Mr.. J. r. Haney was called on to
address the meeting which he did
in humorous way. He endorsed the
resolutions, which had been previ-
ously passed by unanimous, rising
vote, and also endorsed the admin
istration. After speaking of city af-
fairs, he launched into national af-
fairs, paying his respects to Aldrich
and Fowler on their financial bills.
He had predicted the financial
panic and designated June as the
month for its arrival, but it was de-
layed until October. He said if it
had been SO that they could have done
it, Pierpont Morgan would have owned
all the rivers and John d. Rockefcl-
Ter would have appropriated to him
self the Atlantic ocean. He said he
had once been an officer himself-a
road overseer and he hal to buy FIVE
calico dresses on the strength of it. If
he was a city officer he would have
to buy all the calico he couIl get

p.nctuated with much applause.

ing the way for the farmer, the mer-
chant and the artisan.
1T is estimated that the loss in the
state of Mississippi by the manner in
which the lumber industry is carried
on by the smaller mills, is sum more
than sufficient to run the entire ex-
penses of the state government, and
this is largely due to the limitation
placed upon saw mill corporations.
"The repeal of this section will have
the ultimate effect of making less ex-
pensive to the purchaser, timberland
more profitable to its owner, bringing
about the employment of a greater
number of intelligent white men in the
saw mills and returning negro laborers
to the farms and plantations where
they are needed and insuring greater
profit to those engaged in the manufac.
ture of lumber-all by permitting the
more general adoption of economic
methods of handlsg timber from the
stump to the consumer.
There is a general demand in
South Mississippi for the modification
Of the section complained of in the
statute on corporations, and as the
other sections of the state could not be
injured, but would be indirectly bene
fitted thereby, can see no reason why
the report of the majority on the sen
ate judiciary committee should not be
adopted, and the measure passed by
both branches and signed by the gov
ernor. South Mississippi does moi
ask for much from the state nor does
this section receive much, but this see
ton is entitled to this consideration
asked for, and 1 hope 1t will be
granted"
