EIGHTEENTH DAY.
Senate.

1t was a field day in the Senate for
the debators, with two attractive propo-
sitions before the upper branch, one of
them the Logan bill, to provide for the
taxing of stock after February 1, where
business has been started after that
date, which attracted considerable inter
est, as it is considered a piece of ad-
vance legislation. The bill was ex.
planned by its author, and passed after a
general discussion.
The other bill that engendered the fire
of debate was what is known as tie An.
derson SANDER bill, in which the distin-
guished Senator from Lee county would
make the circulation of false and SIAN
derous reports a criminal ~offense, and
it opened up for discussion a topic that
permitted q wide range. 1t was the
committee substitute that created the
most discussion, as that would limit the
operations of the law to cases where the
chastity of women or the assailing of
the integrity of a public officer or max
ing unfounded charge of felony against
any person, and the subject was still un-
der discussion when the Senate ad-
journed.
The time of the lower house was de.
voted to the passage of a number of bills
of a local and private nature, which had
from the committee with favorable
all of which went through with.
out hitch or question.

NINETEENTH DAY.
Senate

The features of the Senate session were
in the telegram from w. j. Bryan init
mating his acceptance Of the invitation
to address the Legislature, and that he
would endeavor to be here the latter part
of February, the exact date not as yet
being practicable to arrange, and the de-
feat after a long debate of the Anderson
SANDER bill, which lasted an hour, by a
vote of is to %, a number of the Sena-
tors believing that it were better to have
a written than an unwritten law for
dealing with villifying reports.
The House spent an hour discussing an
amendment to a bill admitting, or pro-
posing to admit, women as eligible for
the office of county superintendent of
education, and after all the talk the bill
was defeated by a tie vote.
A rather important measure was
passed by the House, which fixes a def
mite time at which tax collectors shall
advertise lands for sale which are delin-
quent for taxes. Under the provisions
of the Code of 1906 there was a conflict
of dates, ana under the bill passed today
the date was made the first Monday in
April, and conforms to one of the con
flicting sections.

where a man is using every means in hia
power to earn money to pay any debt,
or is denying himself and family the lux.
uries-and as far as possible, the neces-
stiles of life-he shall not be sued for
any debt he may owe. But said debt
shall be drawing the legal interest until
paid, and shall not run out by statute OF
limitation.
Mr.. Bailey called up Senate Bill So
To amend Code, Section 1920, in regard
to adoption of the stock law by counties
or districts, so as to make said law en-
forceable upon petition or affirmative
vote of a majority of residents or free
holders, or lease-holders, for a term Of
three years.
Mr.. Bush, the anthor, explained this
bill, which he stated did not apply to
the full stock law, but gave to the
Board of Supervisors the authority to de-
clare a partial stock law upon petition or
affidavit vote of fve-eighths of resident
~free-holders, etc.
Mr.. Whitman was the most vigorous of
the bills opponents. After very free dis
cussion of the bill and several proposed
amendments, it was lost by a vote of 10
to 16.

SEVENTEENTH DAY.

In both houses today the bent of the
Legislature in regard to the use of pub.
lie and licensed p%oolrooms by youths un.
der the age of IS was shown, as bills
practically identical in terms were intro
duced In the Senate and in the House.
House.
The House session was marked by the
passage of quite a number of measures,
the most important and significant being
the Mcintosh bill fixing the crime of
criminal assault or attempted criminal
assault as a capital offense and punish
able by death, or if, in the discretion of
the jury, to life Imprisonment. It is be-
lieved that it will pass the Senate with
as decided a vote as that which marked
its passage through the House.
Dir. Quin called up House bill to amend
Section 2141 of the Code with regard to
the amount of exempt insurance that
can be paid executors or administrators
and not be subject to seizure for debt.
The former law makes in one section the
amount to read $4,000, and the other
$4,000, and the purpose is to reconcile a
direct conflict, and it was his recollection
that the $4,000 exemption passed the
last Legislature without opposition. The
bill passed, 95 to O..
Senate.
The Senate was called to order by
President Pro TEN. Hebron, and opened
with prayer by DIR. Hunnicutt.
Several petitions were presented from
Jones, Lee and Prentiss counties, rela-
tive to the railroads employing minors
as telegraphers. Also by Mr.. West, a Pc
tition from Jones County Medical So
ciety, relative to the passage of pure
food laws, etc., all of which were prop
erly referred.
Mr.. Harper introduced a bill which Gre
more discussion than any bill of
the session. It's title was as follows:
To prevent a man who owes a debt, and
is using every means in his power to pay
sand debt, from being sued, and its pro-
read as follows: Section 1. Be

FEW FREAKS IN ARCHITECTURE.
Eccentricity on the Part Of Those
Building and Furnishing Houses.

Instances CT eccentric;ty on the part
Of those building and furnishing
houses are common enough in every
community. The following instances
of f~reakishhess in that regard may be
cited in Illustration of certain phases.
A Russian gentleman has erected at
a cost of 5000 rubles on his country
estate at ~Savinowka, in Podolia, a 16-
room house made entirely of paper.
This house, which was constructed in
New York, is calculated by its archi.
tect to last longer than would a stone
building. The whole of the furniture,
too, is made from the same material.
In County Westmeath, Ireland, a
house has been built whereof all the
windows are made to resemble in out
line the backs of of easy chairs, being
thus constructed by it's eccentric own
eer to match the backs of a set Of
chairs in the dining-room.
In Connecticut a certain land owner,
thinking that the view from his house
lacked a church, proceeded to supply
its place by erecting a row of cottages
so designed as to resemble, from his
side, the edifice required. Approached
from the other direction, however, the
sham is at once manifest.
Some years ago a man of scientific
attainments, as well as of considerable
means, elected to live in a tree in a
suburb of Washington-that is, he en-
joyed his leisure moments in the
branches Of the tree itself, where he
had caused to be built a platform
large enough to accommodate easy
chairs and such other furniture as he
desired to make use of during the day.
At the base of the tree, however,
and Surrounding it was built a struc-
ture of brick and stone inclosing the
sleeping apartments of this eccentric
individual. For many years this
unique residence was one of the
sights of the national capital.
One of the oldest houses ever con-
structed was the fruit of a French
mans inventive fancy. This was the
revolving house." a structure actual
ly built upon casters, SO to speak, in
order that the occupant might by
means of an ingenious mechanism at
any time roll It about, obtaining what
light and air hia fanry dictated.

New County Proposed.

There is a movement on foot to create
a new county, to be named Delta, and
for the purpose of which it is proposed
to take little bits from six counties,
whereby it is proposed to get a county
that will measure 492 square miles. 1t
is proposed to get Sunflower county to
give up 48 square miles from its west
side; Lelore county y square miles
from its southwest corner; Washing:
ton county, $50 miles from its southeast
corner; Sharkey, Is miles from its
northeast corner; Yazoo, 116 miles from
its north end; and Holmes, 118 miles
from its western side, and this terri
tory, it is argued, will give a good
average sized county.

CoPIAH COUNTY CYCLONE
Deals Out Death and Destruction.
Number of Lives Lost.

Number of Lives Lost.
Hazlehurst.-A cyclone of terrific
force passed q few miles below here
this afternoon. An immense amount Of
property damage was done, aid at
least lively We persons lost their lives.
Dwellings, farm houses, saw mills and
cotton gins were destroyed in large
numbers, and live stock suffered to q
great degree. On several places near
ly every head of stock was killed, and
ON some not one was left.
The storm came from the southwest.
Travelling in a northeasterly direction,
the cyclone, blowing from a great re-
volving cloud, Illuminated by a CON
slant play of lightning, crossed the
Illinois Central about three miles south
OF town, and limbs OF trees several feet
long, portions of destroyed buildings,
and other evidences of the storm power
were scattered from one end of town
to the other during the passage of the
storm, whose bowling winds could be
distinctly heard. Near where the rail.
road was crossed lived Ben Martin, q
farmer, and his wife, brother and four
children were instantly killed, as were
also several negroes.
Striking the plantation of Bob Mid.
dleton, it completely wrecked his home,
catching his family beneath the debris,
fatally injuring him and breaking the
back of n of the lady members of his
family. One or two others in that
locality were killed.
This is the fourth cyclone that has
passed through hat section in the past
twenty-five years, the last one claiming
about 100 victims.
Surrounding towns in the direct path
OF the storm suffered damage during
the cyclones duration.
At Georgetown buildings were blown
down, and at Hazlehurst two saw mills
were destroyed.
Center Point reports much damage
but no loss of life.
