The rumor is given crcicnce and
being gTavcly discussed tonight by
promnnt politicians and public men
from every section of the state. who
are here in attendance upon the state
board of education, which is now in
sess ion. The rumOr comes from all
sections between Bristol and the sea.
but seems to be especially persistent
in the Tidewater section.
An unsuccessful effort was made to-
night to communicate with Governor
Montague at his home. but he could
not be reached. Ine this connection
it is interesting to note that GOV
ernor Montague has recently resign

mOnd College. The statement was
made at the time OF the resignation
that tn former governor would prob
ably re-enter the political arena, from
which he had retired after his term
as governor. 1t was believed. how
ever. that Governor Montague would
try for some exalted position within
the gift of the Democratic party.
Even those Democrats who are &C

refuse to accredit it as true until

LELAND HUME WRITES
RAILROAD Commission
Asks That Decision Be Withheld Until
High Officials Can Act-Attcrney
Teat Withdraws Suit of the People
at koscuisco.

Jackson, Miss, October 20.-Gen-
eral Manager Leland Hume, of the
Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph
Company, in letter to the railroad
commission. expresses the hope that
the differences between his company
and the Western Union Telegraph
Company can be amicably arranged
between the officials of the two COM
panies, and without litigation. He as
sumes that the railroad commission
will not care to interfere in the matter
for the present. as the two interested
companies alone are affected, and the
trouble is not one concerning the gen.
eral public. He regrets that the mat
ter was precipitated by local agent
of the Western Union, instead OF a
higher official, and takes it for grant
ed that the commission will not docket
the case for hearing on the complaint
of this local agent alone. The officials
and the higher ones at that-will
have to settle the case if it is to be
settled at all, he says.
1t is evident from Mr.. Humes letter
that whatever settlement happens to
be made out of court. it will be on
some basis which will give his com
pany a commission on the telegraph
tolls on such messages as are deliv
cred over the Cumberland lines, In
addition to the regular monthly rent
ais for the use of the local phones. He
states that he has no objection to the
Western Union using the telephone
lines for any other business, but thai
when it cores to delivering messages
over tie telephone he wants his com
pany, which is a competitor for the
business, to share in the charges If it'
lines are made "a de facto part of the
system" as he expresses it.
He states that the service has beer

NOEL And Fletcher
HAD right OPINIONS
Only Question Is the soIvency or In
solVency of the Bond Companies
Says the Court in Its Unanimous
Opinion on Subject.

AS stated exclusively in the Daily
News of Monday the supreme court
has sustained the position of Governor
Noel and Attorney General Fletcher
in the state depository controversy
and holds that surety bonds must be
accepted by the treasurer as valid Sc
curity from the banks selected as de-
positories.
The opinion of the court was handed
to Governor Noel late Saturday after
noon, but its contents were not di-
vulged until yesterday, when Gov
ernor Noel made public a copy of the
opinion, which is as follows:
October II, 1908.
ITO His EXcellency. the Hon E. F.
Noel, Governor of the State OF
Mississippi.
Sir: Confining ourselves to the
actual case before your eXcellency
and in answer to what we understand
YOU to ask we respectfully say that
| the action of the commission is con
| elusive on the treasurer and he must
accept the surety bonds. the majority
! having accepted them, and, in this
he and his official bondsmen are pro
tected by the legislative act, as con
strued by the supreme court There
is no difference of opinion among the
judges as to this conclusion, nor il
the conclusion that this protection
A-,.sislsv-exen if the opinion should here
after be reversed.
1--WE all agree too that If surety
bonds are offered in any case, ant
the surety companies are solvent, they
must be accepted by the commission
under the act, and with the same pro
lection to the treasurer
IF different statutory securities are
offered. the commission may deter
mine which to take, with the same
projections we all agree as to this
I'VE have the honor to be, very re
