hour before train time and purchased
ticket to Jackson; that the waiting
room to which he was assigned was
dark and without fire, although the
night was bitterly cold; that he
called the attention of the agent to
this fact, and asked him to provide
fire and light for the waiting room,
but the agent CURLY refused to do so.
The train, continues plaintiff, was
two hours late, and as a result of
being compelled to remain in the cold
waiting room he caught a bad cold,
from which an attack of rheumatism
developed, and he therefore asks DAM
ages in the sum of $1,000.

Jackson, Miss, November 20.-The
last will and testament of the late
Associate Justice s. s. Calhoon, of
the Mississippi Supreme Court, has
been filed for probate with the clerk
of the Kinds county chancery court.
The document is brief and thorough
1y characteristic of the man. 1t is
less than three hundred words in
length, and written in the terse and
explicit style for which the lamented
jurist was justly noted. All of his
property is bequeathed to his wife,
Mrs. Margaret Melville Calhoon, with
the exception of his law books, which
are given to his former law partner,
Hon. Marcellus Green.
The full value of the estate is not
known, but it is understood that it
conveys modest competence to his

Delegates Appointed.

In response to request from Con-
gresham Joseph e. Ransdell of Louis
lana. chairman of the committee on
rivers and harbors in the national
congress, Gov. Noel has appointed
about one hundred delegates to at
tend the Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress, which conFenes in Washing
ton, D. c.. on December 9. for a three
days session.
The delegates have been selected
largely from among the most promi-
nent men living on or near the Mis-
sissippi river and the gulf coast, al
though a few are taken from other
| sections.
Gov. Noel is very enthusiastic over
this deep waterways proposition, and
urges that as many as possible of
the Mississippi delegation attend the
congress. He expects to personally
head the list of his Official duties
at the time will permit.
ut will be a great thing for Mis-
sissippi if the fourteen-foot channel
proposed is carried out" says the gov.
ernor. "The city of Chicago has ap
propriated $40,OOO,OOO and the state OF
Illinois $2O,OOO,OOO, making a total OF
$60,000,000 for the entire state. Sc
that very little more, comparatively
from the government will complete
the proposed channel. AS both politi
cal parties were committed to the
plan, there can be no consistent op
position to it. and its success is 40
sured"

According to local underwriters,
special agents and adjusters prac-
tically every fire insurance company
operating in Mississippi will show a
net loss on its business in this state
for the current year.
This statement is seemingly borne
out by the reports of fire losses filed
with State Insurance Commissioner
Henry, although that official has not
totalled the figures for comparison
with the same period last year. The
reports show, however, that the loss
ratio is going to be much heavier
than that of 1907. and that the COM
panies have uniformly suffered.
The increase Of the loss ratio is
attributed chiefly to the many small
town fires that have occurred within
the past six months. More than a
score of Mississippi towns have been
swept by disastrous CONGREGATIONS,
and when the National Board of I'm
derWriters complies its annual table
of statistics showing wastage of ma
tural resources through fire Missis-
sippi is going to be we'll up in the
column of figures.
Despite this fact, in some of the
larger towns of the state, especially
Jackson, Vicksburg and Meridian. rate
cutting among local underwriters is
still in progress. This is due chiefly
to the separation of the sheep from
the goats,' or divorce of board and
non-board companies in local agencies
which took place during the early part
of the year. However, where rate cuts
are being made, the underwriters gen
orally succeed in maintaining volumes
of premiums through recent rate ad
vances, new classifications, etc.

A suit that will involve the validity
of the Mississippi statutes requiring
railroads to keep their waiting rooms
open one hour before train time, and
properly lighted and heated, has been
filed in the circuit court of Kinds

ored physician of this city, against

Wants information.

Secretary Maxwell, of the Missis-
sippi Railroad Commission, has re-
ceived a request from Mr.. ]. M. Win
terbotham, secretary of the railroad
commission of Wisconsin for a lot of
information in regard to the cost and
character of the railroad maps issued
by the commission.
Mr.. Winterbotham wants to know
how many maps are issued, what kind
they are, whether Autographed or not,
how many of the roll and how many
of the folding variety, together with
the cost of each and of the entire
edition.
He states that he is sending the
same request to the commissioners of
all the states, and promises, if want
ed, to furnish the commission with a
summary of the replies received. The
information will be furnished, and
should prove to be of great benefit
to the commissions all over the coun.
try. 1t may result in the issuance OF
a better map in future, and possibly
in lower cost to the state.
The map issued by Mississippi
while regarded as being very accurate
in the information it contains is got
ten up on a rather cheap scale, anG
is perhaps issued at as little expense
as that of any other state.
