The Straw Vote.

The Straw Vote.
When man comes sailing through the
train
And asks how you intend to vote
So he may reckon In advance
Ger whose tent victory will float,
On his conclusions more to bank
We might be very much inclined
If he could prove beyond doubt
That people did not change their mind.
Some fellows vote the selfsame way
Their dad and great-great-granddad
did,
And when the vote collector calls
Their politics will not be hid,
But there are more unstable men
Who shift around and change their
views
With every shifting of the wind
Or every time they change their shoes.
The man who gathers up the vote
Don't reckon with the playful clown
Who feels that he must shift about
To prove that he is not nailed down.
He votes for Mr.. Man today,
But in a week he may be found
Inclined to be the other way
Next time the voting slips go round.
It's nice to know you can predict
Within about dozen votes
Just what the answers going to be
To all these high and silvery notes.
The straw vote ballot makes noise
That sounds like double cinched sue
cess,
But read your ticket carefully
And find you have another guess.

FIFTY-FoURTH DAY.

Senator Baird introduced a concurrent.
resolution to provide for the sale by the
State of the property known as the
Parchman or Sunhower farm, which is
the State penitentiary property, by di-
viding it into lots or parcels convenien.
for sale and conveyance.
The House. by a vote of almost 2 to
/, 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
cent on all collections through his de.
partment. The House refused to place
a tax on dogs, the majority holding that
while in theory the matter was all right,
in practice il 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. II refused, how
ever, to pass bill authorizing the gov
ernor to borrow money to help in carry
ing on the State government.
Chairman Morrison, of the appropria-
tion 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 rs,ec.ed

F0RTY.NINTH DAY.

The proceedings in both branches Of
the legislature today were rather devoid
OF feature for the greater part of the
time, being the day set apart for local
and private legislation bills. Incidental
~ the consideration of this character of
measures the senate had round with
two that were of rather more than local
interest, the one being the Bilbo bill,
for the creation sf George county out
OF sections of Jackson and Greene, a
measure that had been rejected by the
house, and the other being the bill to
resist the repeal of the act creating the
second district of Harrison county. The
George county bill passed, while the re-
peal bill failed, owing to lack Of two
thirds vote.
The house completed the consideration
of the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege bill, after lively fight, led by Mr.
Stennis, to retain the chemical depart
ment revenues as college funds. instead
of adopting the committee amendment
reverting them to the state treasury,
which was unsuccessful The bill as il
goes back to the senate carries a little
over 100000, rather more than was
allowed by the Senate.

houses, the bulk Of them requiring no

Po..otaee Appropriate, Attacked.

WashingtOn-The postoffice appro-

house Of representatives Thursday. Its
progress was halted at every turn BY
amendments upon which there was
lengthy discussion. The attacks be-
gun on the section relating to the
pneumatic tube service. which was
forced TO undergo a change so that ex-
tensions OF such service should not
be confined to the several cities named
in the bill. but that they should be
made wherever the postmaster gen
eral may think best The house was
a unit for Withholding a portion Of the
pay TO railroads for transportation OF
the mails until a correct system of
weighing should be established. a pro-
vision to that effect being incorporat-
ed in the measure. and finally a Wig.
orous, but Intellectual. attack was
made on proposition by Mr.. Goebel
OF Ohio to increase by $4,000. 900 the
appropriation for paying the expenses
OF railway mail clerks while travelling

The police are now conducting an
Investigation at the school All info--
nation regarding the identity OF Miss
Weed and Miss Hardee has been 50
far refused al the school except to the
police. No detailed report OF the trag-
edy has yet reached headquarters
Miss Weed was one OF the founders
OF the school and was recently sent
10 a sanitarlum In West Newton.
On October I. the day upon which
the Iaurens School. as they called IT,
was opened. Miss Weed broke down.
as n result OF overwork. and was taken
to a sanitarium in West Newton.
where she had since been under treat.
ment for nervous prostration. Whi,e
in the sanitarium Miss Weed had been
subject TO severe attacks of melsncho-
liza. Tuesday night she escaped from
the sanitarium and made her way 10
the Laurens School.
Because the revolver was found
clutched In Miss Weeds hands, AMI
through the reports of her unsettled
mental condition. the police believe
that she shot Miss Hardee and then
killed herself
