F%IFTY.FIRST DAY.

1t was a day of activity in both
branches, with the evident desire OF
senators and representatives to buckle
down to work and clear the calendars.
The most significant action of the day
was that of the senate in refusing to
concur in the House amendments to
the university and college appropriation
bills.
The senate also passed, after an inter
esting debate, the bill to appropriate the
sum of $4,000 for the purpose of secur-
ing a silver service for the battleship
Mississippi, a measure that was defeated
in the house committee on appropria-
tons.
The senate, also, by a very positive
vote, passed the bill to repeal the Harri-
son county double court district bill,
which makes it final, the matter having
come up on a motion to reconsider, and
has already passed the house.
The house by a vote of IS to 30 adopt
ed a resolution offered by Mr.. Moody
of Lowndes, the effect of which was to
call up as a special order the house bill
providing for a 2h-cent passenger rate
in the state.
At the morning session the bill appro-
'priating money to the Vicksburg State
Charity Hospital for the next two years,
the bill for the maintenance and sup
port of the state insane hospital and
other appropriation measures passed.

F~IFTY-FOURTH DAY.

Senator Baird introduced a concurrent
resolution to provide for the sale by the
State of the property known as the
Parchman or Sunflower farm, which is
the State penitentiary property, by di-
viding it into lots or parcels convenient
for sale and conveyance.
The House, by a vote of almost 2 to
1, voted to indefinitely postpone the bill
to exempt from taxation money loaned
at 6 per cent, either actual cash in bank,
solvent credits or vendors lien. This
was the Harrell bill which passed the
Senate three weeks ago. The House also
put a negative on the Mcdonald bill to
reduce the rate of compensation of the
State revenue agent from 20 to 10 per
partment. The House refused to place
a tax on dogs, the majority holding that
while in theory the matter was all right,
in practice it would be a failure. The
House also passed the revenue bill fixing
the State tax levy at six mills for each
of the next two years. 1t refused, how
ever, to pass a bill authorizing the gov
ernor to borrow money to help in carry
ing on the State government.
Chairman Morrison, of the appropria-
ton committee, then called up the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College bill, for
the purpose of considering the Senate
amendments to that measure. He de-
clared that between all the institutions
they have been given more than $780,
600 more than they ever received be-
fore, and the House committee had, in
his opinion, been very liberal with all.
The amendments were then placed before
the House and all rejected.

Request He Couldn't Grant.

One of District Attorney Jerome's
chief assistants in New York has a
young son who occupies almost as
much of his time as does the Office
business. "Just now" said the prose-
cutor, 81 divide my leisure daylight be-
tween the menagerie in Central park

try to grant any reasonable request,
there are times when I give up. The

to make it possible to add the stars
from time to time without disturbing
the general plan.
This idea has been anticipated by a
private citizen, Henry Vogt, Of Phila-
delphia, who has designed a flag for
which the thanks of the war depart
ment have been extended.
Mr.. Vogt would place the stars in a
circle, with a keystone design in the
center, leaving for the addition
of stars around the circle.

~FIFTY-THIRD DAY.

The upper House killed the bill to
regulate the practice of optometry at
the evening session and disposed of sew
eral others, incidentally clearing the
calendar of considerable business.
The House session was devoted to ap-
preparation bills, including that provid-
ing for the work of the live stock, SAM
tary board and anti-tick commission,
and the bill appropriating $4,000 to sup
port of the Matte Hersee Hospital at
Meridian.
The House also passed the bills for
the re-enactment of the lost chapters of
the code, and on third reading the cleo
tive Judiciary amendment resolution,
which is now complete so far as the
House is concerned.
There was another protractei night
session of the House, when several minor
bills amending sections of the code re-
ported from the ways and means CON
mittee was passed. The session vas en-
livened towards the close by a discussion
of the bill to place a tax of 81 on all
dogs owned in the State. 1t was quite
a busy day in both Houses, and much
work was gotten out of the way, the
House holding a long night session.

Never do any worrying to-day that

The Tupelo journal., 1908-03-20

The house, in spite of the attendant
confusion, transacted considerable rou-
tine business. Two very important bills
were passed-the Wellborn bill, provid-
ing for a live stock sanitary board and
for the purpose of taking steps to eradi-
cate the cattle stick" and establish a
quarantine system, after a clear explain
alton of its authority; also the Adair
banking bill az substituted by the COM
mittee. With Mr.. Hill of Lee in the
chair, this bill was taken up and ex-
planned by Mr.. Yewell, the principal
change from the original being the
change in the graduation as to the ac-
tual capital stock required to be paid
up and certified to banks in towns of
500 inhabitants or less are to show not
less than $4,000, and above that popu-
lation a uniform amount of $4,000 is to
be required. The bill passed by a vote
of 50 to 0.

FIFTY-SECOND DAY.

VI o. " ".
FIFTY-SEcOND DAY.
After a four-hour spirited and Wig
orous fight on the floor of the house,
that body, by a decisive vote, or more
than two to one, passed the Mitchell
2h-cent passenger rate bill, a victory
for the men behind the movement,
against whom a majority committee re-
port was turned into the house a few
days ago. Notwithstanding the rules
to take up a measure with an adverse
report accompanying, this was done, and
the bill set for the special order this
morning. 1t was sidetracked during the
day by the appropriation bills, but was
taken up as soon as the house re-as-
scmbled at 1880 tonight.
1t was exactly 1880 when the result
of the deciding vote was announced.
The bill fixes the rate at 21a cents on
passenger traffic over roads in the state
which, in the judgment of the railroad
commission, after careful consideration,
will not be subject to loss or depre-
citation thereby. An amendment was of,
fered by Mr.. Street to so arrange the
rate that in the event it should operate
to the detriment of the employees of
any railroad, the railroad commission
shall have the power to rearrange the
rate on proper showing.
In the enate the most conspicuous
feature of the days proceedings was
the defeat of the constitutional prohi.
bition amendment resolution by a vote
of 21 to 10.
In both branches for the greater part
of the day appropriation measures had
the right of way, and several were dis
posed of, though not finally as to either
branch, as amendments impossible of Sc
curing the concurrence of both branches
were adopted, which means delay.
The committee on corporations through
Chairman Tyson reported action on a
number of bills pertaining to the reguIa,
ton of common carriers as defined by
statue, the majority of which are ia,
vorably reported. The only two reported
unfavorable were the senate bills re-
quiring the railroad commission to com
pei physical connection between lines
of different telephone systems, and the
companion bill requiring telephone com
panies to promptly remedy defective in
struments, and prohibiting removal OF
phones under certain conditions.
Then MIR. Morrison got the floor with
his appropriation bills and held it fol
more than two hours. incidentally the
bill for appropriating the sum of $4,000
for the two years to the Vicksburg
Confederate veterans hospital annex was
passed after a brief display of oratory
led by Mr.. Sheffield, who did not sec
the necessity for maintaining a Confed
crate hospital in the State. After ad
dresses by Messrs. Foster and Yewel
clearing up the matter in the mind OF
the House, the bill passed unanimously
104 to O..
The three companion bills for the
support of the branch agricultural ex
pertinent stations at Mcneil, Stone
vile and Holly Springs were taken VI
in the order stated, each being consid
cred and passed separately.
The Confederate Soldiers Home bill
carrying an appropriation of $4,000 fol
two years, was passed.

seemed to be all the requisites to

custom forbids a day before that

Perhaps the most notable event Of
the day was the confirmation by the
bishop Of class Of siXty-scven at
st. Paul's church yesterday which
was the largest class that has ever
been presented to bishop in that
church. OF the siXty-seven fifty nine
were from st. Paul's church itself and
the remaining eight were from tho
Forbes Memorial Chapel of the
Epiphany. which is part of ST.
Paul's church Rt-Rev. Bishop
Brewster, head of the diocese of
Connecticut, administered sthe aacra-
ment of confirmation, according to
his annual custom.
The bishop preached the sermon Of
the morning, speaking especially to
the newly confirmed upon the neces-
sity OF men and women taking sides
for Christ or against Him and show
ing how by their confirmation they
had chosen to stand on His side in
the battle of life. He spoke also of
the meaning of the sacrament and
the duties which 1t involved
Bishop Brewster also confirmed two
other classes at O'Clock in the after
noon, yesterday, at st. Thomas
church. The classes were those Of
St Johns and St Thomas church,
being combined for the convenience
of the churches. The two churches
alternate in this regard each year.
In the evening, at $50, Bishop
Brewster confirmed large class at
the Church of the Ascension.
