On examination by the court Mr.. j..

The examination by the defense Of
Mr.. Griffin quite a legal wrangle de-
veloped over the form of some of the
questions asked by the defense the
talisman not at once gathering their
legal significance. One answer being
to the effect that he believed the de-
PENDANT should be requested to prove
his innocence.
This question, for instance, was re
peated to the talisman by the court
and the correct answer obtained.
The court being of the opinion that
Mr.. Griffin was competent to serve
he was accepted by the court. At
1885 the state accepted the full
panel as presented by the court.
The counsel for the defense retired
to consult and returned to the court

GoVERNORE REVOKES
CITY'S CHARTER.

JACKSON, Miss, May 26.-Gov-
ernor Noel issued his proclamation
yesterday abolishing the municipality
of Ovisburg, in Pearl River county.
The place was Incorporated as a vii
lage in 1896, with 213 inhabitants,
and had a large saw mill, which did
a thriving business. Yesterday the
people of the village petitioned the
Governor to abolish it, urging that
it has now less than 100, the requirits
number of inhabitants to make a vii
lage. The mill burned down about a
year ago, and since then the village
has been gradually losing inhabitants
The petition also states that the saw
mill was the chief, in fact, the only
industry, and that the few people left
find the taxes necessary to maintain
a municipal government, too heavy
a burden to carry.
The new code provides for abolish
ing a municipality when it loses the
number of inhabitants necessary to
qualify. Before the present code there
was no law providing for adjustment.
Ovisburg is the second village to be
abolished under this law, the village
of Weathersby, in Simpson county be
ing the first

dard Oil group would turn their at
tention to the making of candy, es-
pecially as in glucose they had basis
upon which to build up a big business
The present plans of the Corn Pro
ducts Company are to form a SUBSIDIARY
concern for the manufacture of candy
If the retail stores now in business
buy sufficient candy from the Stan
dard Oil Company's offshoot, it will
not be necessary to form a chain of
retail stores. The outside candy manu-
facturers would still be able to get
glucose from Independent concerns, for
for although the Corn Products Com
pany makes about IS per cent. of the
glucose used in this country, only
about 30 per cent. of the glucose is
used in the candy business. 1t is con-
coded that it would not pay candy
manufacturers to make glucose solely
for their use in candy. 1t would be
cheaper to use all sugar and flour. But
several of the big candy men could go
into the corn products business and in
this way get glucose as a byproduct
just as advantageously as they now
do. But the candy makers are at
present all worked up over the pros
pect of big rival
