CONVENTION NOTES.

"One-third of all the cotton raised
in Lauderdale county will be held for
higher prices,' says R. P. Walker, of
Meridian, Miss. He reports the farmers
of that section well organized and con-
fidept of ultimate success in the fight
for better prices.
His friends say that Henry E. Webb,
of Seymour, Baylor county, Texas, is
sure to be heard from at the conven-
ton. Mr.. Webb is called the plow-
boy orator in his section of the coun-
try, and is one of the most valuable
workers in the ranks of the Farmers
Union.
As an example of the thrift and push
that characterizes the newborn state
of Oklahoma about fifty members OF
the Farmers Union from the baby state
of the United States are in attendance.
G. r. Hightower, of Mississippi, who
was elected president of the state or
ga~nization of the Farmers Union, at the
meeting held at Jackson, is very en-
thusiastic over the prospects from the
farmers point of view.
w. o. Hausenfuck, of Beesville, Bee
ounty, Texas, travelled over 1000 miles
to come to the convention. He is an
enthusiastic member of the union aud
never loses an opportunity to advance
its interests.
The Tupelo journal., 1908-01-17
THIRD DAY.

The features of the third day in the
Mississippi legislature were the trans
mission to each house of the final mes
sage of Gov. Vardaman, which was read
in full in the house, the reading being
interrupted by the approach of the din
ner hour, and the session of the joint
assembly for the election of a librarian,
which consumed practically all of the
afternoon.
In the senate, after Secretary Rob-
erson had concluded the reading of about
a fourth of the message, the further
reading was dispensed with. The mes
sage was pronounced by those who fol-
lowed the reading as one of the most
complete and comprehensive that has
come from any governor of the state,
and as more than one of the legislators
declared, a most complete and satisfac-
tory accounting for a successful stew
ardship.
But the feature of the day, from a
human interest viewpoint, was the joint
assembly at $3.50 for the election of a
state librarian, a contest which has ex-
cited interest not only at the capital,
but all over the state. The hour for
this Joint meeting was set for $3.50,
and by 3 pm. the galleries and side
aisles were crowded with men and wo-
men, while many of the gallant and
chivalrous young men of the assembly
had vacated their seats for the accom-

Mississippi Legislature

Jackson, M:ss.-Promptly at the hour
Of noon today the two houses were called
to order, according to the constitution,
the house of representatives by Secre-
tau OF State Power, which, after the
oaeh of office had been administered,
proceeded to the election of a speaker
pro tenn, the choice falling upon Hon.
A. G. Anderson, of Tippah county.
Before proceeding to the reg lar order
Right Rev. Bishop Bratton, who was
present, was invited to lead in an invo-
cation, which was a plain, simple, direct
and fervent prayer for divine guidance
at this time in our states history.
The chamber and the galleries were
crowded with visitors, with all the state
officers on hand noting the proceedings
and scores of ladies in the aisles and
galleries.
At the same hour of noon Lieut.. Gov.
Carter assembled the desk of the pre-
siding officer of the senate, and stated
that it was his constitutional require
ment to start that body on the road to
organization. He suggested that before
anything else was undertaken prayer
would be appropriate, and requested
Bishop Charles B. Galloway to lead in
an invocation. All standing, this dis
tinguished divine offered up a sincere
and impressively phrased invocation to
the "God of our fathers, the giver of
all good, and the guide and director of
men, for grace, strength and under
standing to do his will, that they might
know their duty to home and land, and,
knowing it, perform it."
The next matter of procedure was the
swearing in and handing the certificates
of election to the senators-elect, who
were called up in fours by Acting Sec
rotary hurry, and were given the oath
by the presiding officer. This consumed
some little time, as the oath is rather
long, but was accomplished smoothly
forty-three out of the forty-fve sena-
tors responding to their names.
The next step toward organization
was the election of a president pro tenn,
resulting in the selection of Senator
Hebron.
Other officers named were Frank Rob-
e%rtson, clerk; postmistress, Miss Per
kins; sergeant-at-arms, Edward Frank
lin.

SECOND DAY.
House..


The house as soon as called to order
by Speaker Street, after the reading of
the journal and roll call, proceeded to
the matter of completing organization,
which consumed the entire legislative
day.
Senate.
Upon motion of Mr.. Owen a commit
tee of three composed of Messrs. Owen,
Franklin of Pontotoc and Sanders was
appointed by the president to inform
the house that the senate was organized
and ready for business.
Mr.. Mcdonald moved that the sena-
tors vacate their seats and draw for
permanent places on the senatorial
floor.
The seating of the members occupied
considerable time, and not until this
was satisfactorily accomplished did the
body settle down to bushes.
Mr.. Owen, by unanimous consent, in
PRODUCED senate bill No. 1 and senate
bill No. 2. The first of these was to
define and prohibit dealing in futures
and the second to prohibit the manufac-
ture or sale of liquor in this state.

mediation Of some lady whom ,hey
would perceive standing.
After a half hour spent in roll call
nominations were called for. Mr.. Bod
die of Washington placed in nomination
the name of Miss Matte Plunkett, of
Jackson. Senator G. E. Franklin nomi-
mated Miss Kate Buchanan, of Chicka-
saw. Mr.. Norrell presented the name
of Miss Minnie b. Wilson of Hatties-
burg, and Mr.. Bencher that of Mrs.
Annie E. Tam of Kemper.
Only one roll call was necessary,
which resulted in a total vote of 80 SEN
ators and SO representatives for Miss
Prunkett, or 1913 on joint ballot; z
senator's and 16 representatives for Miss
Buchanan, or 20 on joint ballot; 2 SEN
ators and z representatives for Miss
Wilson, and 3 senators and 10 repre-
sentatives for Mrs. Tam.
Applause and cheers rent the air Of
the chamber when, at the withdrawal Of
the names of the other ladies, the cleo
ton of Miss Matte Plunkett was made
unanimous, and on motion of Represen-
tative Tandy Jewell of Carroll, a com
mittee of three was designated to no.
tify Miss Plunkett. This was a mere
formality, as Miss Plunkett had been
already pretty thoroughly informed by
her friends.
The joint caucus having concluded the
business in hand the senate retired ard
the house resumed the regular oldcr.
Senate.
The senate reassembled at 3 o'clock
and pending the time for going to the
house attended to some routine bust
ness. A committee of members was APP
pointed, the chair designating Messrs.
Franklin of Pontotoc, Hightower and
Price.
A resolution was adopted fixing the
daily meeting hours at 10 o'clock in
the morning and at 3 in the afternoon,
with adjournment at / o'clock for lunch
| con.
House.
At the conclusion of the reading Of
the governors message in the house the
speaker laid before the house the veto
message of the governor accompanying
the returned Alcorn fire protection bu-
| reau bill, passed at the last session.
In his veto message returning the
fire prevention bureau bill, the gov
ernor points out that the main reason
for the Withholding of his approval
lies in the fact that one of the clauses
of the measure is so constructed that
an insurance company entering into the
compact and afterwards desiring to
withdraw would be unable to do so
without going into liquidation.
Representative Alcorn, who prepared
and introduced the bill in the last leg
islature, stated that he could not state
positively what step he would take, but
in all probability will ask that it lie on
the table for the time being.

House..

After a long and stubborn contest the
fight for the speakership was ended by
the selection of Col. H. NJ. Street, of
Meridian, over H. NJ. Quin, of Kinds,
by a vote of 20 to 60.
In the house nothing was done ex-
cept the election of the permanent
speaker and the secretary, Mr.. Smith,
the latter by reclamation.

The State Militia.
The state militia of Mississippi is in
better condition today than ever before
within it's history. Under the wise and
devoted direction of Adjutant General
Fridge, a degree of efficiency has been
attained which it has never enjoyed be-
fore and it is a golden augury Of what
may be accomplished in the future.
County Convicts.
One of the necessary reforms that
should be made in our penal system is
the care or disposition of the county
convicts. No convict should be worked
under contract on public works, at saw
mills and on plantations by men who
are interested in the product of the con-
vict's toll. Some of the most atrocious
and constituencies crimes that have been
perpetrated in this shate are chargeable
to the county contractor. / have known
the poor convict driven to exhaustion
or whipped to death to crafty the greed
or anger of the conscienceless driver or
contractor.
The South Mississippi Demand.
Taxation should be uniform, and the
burdens and blessings of government
should rest alike on the rich and the
poor, the weak and the strong. / am
very much in favor of the old Demo-
cratic idea which is fundamental in u
system of government - that there
| should be representation commensurate
with taxation. Consistent with the
preservation Of white supremacy in u
state, / am heartily in favor of giving
to each county equal representation in
the Legislature provided by the consti-
tuition Of 1890, the counties in Southern
Mississippi wnrs LETT largely in the
minority.
