HannlS TaYlOr'S New Book

In Dr. Taylor's new book, "The Science of Jurisprudence" he presents at length history of Roman and Eng fish law, showing how they have grown together in the systems of Continental Europe, in Spanish America and in the state of Louisiana. The blending of Roman and English law is subject that had not before been elaborately presented, and Dr. Taylor's book of 600 pages is devoted to this subject.
 Dr. Taylor digresses frequently, and in the American edition of the book he celebrates Pelatiah Webster, whom he has long considered the father of the American constitution.
 Dr. Taylor's book has subjected him to the charge of plagiarism. This charge was first made by Professor Goudy of Oxford university and the Oxford scholars and crltlcs are heep- ing up the firing. Dr. Taylor says in reply that he is the victim of profes- sional jealousy-that he has used noth- ing without specific credit that is not the common property of all scholars. "In using the works of specialists he says in a letter to the London Times, q have made 1t rule always to em- ploy wherever I could the apt phrases in which they have expressed some fact or idea peculiarly their own"
 The charge of plagiarism will soon disappear and Dr. Taylor's history of the growing together of Roman and English law will remain a permanent and valuable addition to the worlds literature.

Tariff Bill Goes to the Senate

Coffee and tea go on the free list and petroleum is to be taxed but 1 per cent. while ties and cotton bagging are to be taxed 45 per cent. Lumber is 10 be unchanged, and hides are to go on the free list. These are the chief changes that the House has made in the original Payne bill. Few amend ments other than those offered by the Payne-Dalzell committee were permit ted to be acted on.
 The bill now goes to the Senate and there Cannonism may in the end be controlling, but the steps to it will be free from the despotic methods of.the House. Every Senator will be free to discuss any item or feature of the bill and to offer any amendment he may see fit, and to secure roll-call upon it. This means that the bill will be shaped in the Senate, simply because it is the branch of Congress in which 1egisla- tion and law-making extends to each and every member. This is why the Senate has become the superior body, and the House has fallen to a low place. The speaker and his rules com mittee control the House and benefi- cial consideration of contested bill is not permitted. The members were scarcely permitted to offer an amend ment to the tariff bill. It was forced through by Cannonism in its entirety, the concessions of the ways and means committee being few indeed.
 In the Senate the procedure will be different, and not even the combined power of the New England clique can there shut out amendments or restrict debate The bill will be we'll hetcheled in the Senate, although heavy repub- lican majority will probably be able to pass it in accordance with the re- actionary plans of the Taft administra- tion.

manufacturers and dealers profits, but railroad freights, and doubtless the duty levied by the government on cot ton bagging.
 This is not treating the southern farmer fairly and justly, for the vest ern wheat farmer uses free twine and care is taken to tax no other product needed by the northern farmer in the course of his labors. But so long as the south lacks the enterprise to make it's own cotton bagging there is not much room for complaint. There is no room at any rate for freedom from custom house taxation while northern mills need it in their business.

City Bonds Above Par

The sale of s150,OOO of 5-per-cent, 3O.year school bonds at 104.00S is a tribute to the credit of the city in its cramped confines, and it should be Q source of rejoicing among parents who have children that need school accommodations. The total issue of bonds for school purposes is to be s950,OOO and only $15O,O00 has been sold. The remainder of the issue will be sold as soon as the money is needed.
 The sale of these bonds will enable the Board of Education to put the school system of the city on a pro- gressive and advanced basis. Better still, it will enable the Board to seat all children who desire to enter the public schools. At present this cannot be done, but the money now in sight will increase the seatings until every child of school age in this city can be accommodated.
 The great need then will be con- pulsory education, and this we may be sure will be forthcoming when the legislature meets again.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Popular Music.

I will venture the prediction that the music festival to be held the last week in April will be regarded the most de- lightful ever given here." said an old chorus singer. Tt should be popular because the programmes are to contain no long or heavy works. l like classic chorus music but even musicians be- come weary when an evening is taken up with an oratorio
 "Damrosch is a great believer in making programmes that will please the average crowd of music lovers There will be only one short choral work each night. The first night the Treble Clef club will sing "The Blessed Damozel,' new composition of rare beauty. The second night the Enter- pean club will sing two short pieces Hail Bright Abode" and The Blue Danube" and on the third night Pro- lessor Gramb's chorus will sing selec- tions from Rossinis "Stabat Mater" Damroach will direct all the choruses as well as the orchestral numbers There will be two popular matinees and at the various performances solo ar lists will be heard. The solo quartet engaged for the occasion consists of Mrs. Corinne Rider Kelsey, soprano one of the great stars of the Metropoli tan opera; Miss Navada Van der Veer, contralto; Reed Miller, tenor, and Gus taf Holmquist, basso."

Cotton Bagging and the South

About 100. 100000 yards of cotton bagging are used in covering the bales of cotton as they are packed at the ginneries, and not yard of the vast quantity is made in the south, Three companies make the cotton bagging of the country. One is a New York con- pany, another a Boston concern, and the third is located in the literary state of Indiana. There are but three Ameri- can concerns engaged in this business.
 The southern cotton mills prefer to make coarse cotton goods, and surely cotton bagging is coarse enough to please any mill that dislikes to make fine goods. Why, then, is it that no mill in the south makes cotton bag ging? It is passing strange that mill located over cheap fuel, as the mill at Cordova is, has not sought to outsell the Indiana mill or the Boston or the New York mill.
 About 61a yards of cotton bagging are used on bale, and on this the gov ernment levies duty of 3-4 cents. The cotton is grown here. It is carried to a northern state to be made into cotton bagging and then it is returned to the cotton farmer. bearing not only

FORMER CABINET
 OFFICER IS DEAD

Washington, April 9-Ethan Allen Hitchcock, Secretary of the Interior un- der Presidents Mckinley and Roose- vent, died here this morning at Il o'clock aged "A. He had been critically i'll for several days and his death was not unexpected.
 MT. Hitchcock had been i'll for some weeks. He contracted severe cold while in the west and his condition be- came more serious and he hurried to Washington to place himself in the hands of specialists who had attended him during his official career here. He suffered from a complication of kidney, heart and pulmonary diseases. Ever since he had reached here he had been confined to his bed and constantly at tended by his physician and trained nurses. With him, at the home of his son flaw, Lieutenant Commander Sims of the navy, tn former naval aide of the President, were his daughters, Mrs. Sims. Mrs. Shepley and Miss Mar garet Hitchcock. His condition had become steadily worse during the last few days and last night all hope for his recovery was abandoned.
 His passing marked the closing of a career whose pre-eminent feature was an administration of the interior de- partment that stirred the western land problems as never before. Returning from St. Petersburg where he had served as ambassad dor under the ap- pointment of President Mckinley, MT. Hitchcock was almost immediately plunged into a vortex of complications growing out of vast frauds and charges of fraud and counter-charges growing out of the requirement of public lands in the western states. MT. Hitchcock directed the most sweeping investiga- tions, arousing the enmity of powerful political interests. That work is recog- nized today as one of the most un- swerving and relentless inquisitions in the annals of government prosecutions. He prosecuted cases against numerous men in public life and private business, including United States Senator Mitchell of Oregon, who was convicted and died not long afterward, former Congressman Binger Hermann, who had served as commissioner of the general land office and who was acquitted; for mer United States Senator Dietrich of Nebraska, Representative Williamson of Oregon and John A, Benson, mil lionaire real estate broker of San Francisco.

Airships Aero Officers

Not a few Englishmen are demand ing that England shall adopt the two- power standard in the air as we'll as on the water. Great Britain's scare has not, however, yet extended to the domain of the air. The tight little isle will be content if she can continue to dominate the seas.
 The number of men regularly as- signed to military ballooning and aerial flights is, however, significant, and these details are presented in the table hereinbefore presented. Russia leads all the rest in this respect. The world is just awakening to the fact that the afr is to be conquered. Aero planes are as yet delicate and danger ous, and engine-driven gasbags are tossed hither and thither by the winds. But the movement has been begun and all feel that remarkable developments are at hand, either in the direction of the efforts of Count Zeppelin or else toward the achievements of the Wright brothers. The hopes of the world in conquering the air are centered in the work of the three men.

Hio Attendance at Theatres.

"A rather peculsr fact about the thea ters." said O. F. Gould, local theater manager, yesterday, lis that despite the fact that this week, Holy Week. Is con- sidered the dullest of all in the theatrical world, the attendance at the local thea ters has been splendid
 Throughout America the actors in the vaudeville and most of the melodrama houses are working on half salary this week. 1t has been the observation of theatrical managers that the attendance of theaters during Holy Week is very small, and many houses are operated at loss to the management. Hence the contracts with actors call for only half pay during the week before Easter.
 But in Birmingham the attendance has been very good. The big crowds during the past two days are no doubt partially accounted for by the large attendance of the teachers convention but I am sur prised at the excellent attendance at the theaters"

VIII Be Large Industry.

'The fact that the American Radiator company is to operate plant in Birming- ham is not only adding to our list of new industries, but the effect of so conserva- tive concern as the one mentioned en- tering thee district will be felt in far reaching way" said a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
 The American Radiator company has been figuring on coming here for many years. Just before the panic plans were being made to establish a plant in the Birmingham district, but negotiations for site were dropped. The management of the company natures it's plans be- fore proceeding to branch out, but when a step is taken 1t means success.
 "The company will start here with a good sized payroll and it is safe to say that it will be steadily increased"

LAUREL WILL HAVE LARGE BOND ISSUE

Laurel, Miss, April 9-(Special.) )-Final orders have been issued by the Laurel city council for bond issues aggregating $SO,O00, to be used for various municipal purposes during the coming summer. The bonds are to be in three series of $10,- GOO each, one for school buildings, one for street improvement and the last for waterworks extensions. The bids for these bonds will be opened on May 1. The school bond issue is principally for the purpose of providing furniture and equipment for the new central school building, which is- now nearing comple- tion at a cost of $30. .000 Any surplus re- maining after defraying that expense will be used for ornamenting the school grounds. Publication of the purpose of the council to issue these bonds has been made as required by law, and there has been no objection raised by the tax payers.
 The Jones county board of supervisors has appointed a committee of their body to visit Ellisvile this week and make final inspection of the new courthouse there the contractors, Gardner & Norris, having given notice that the work is fin- Ished and the building ready to turn over 10 the county for final settlement. The understanding Is that the building is up to requirement. of contract in every re- spect, and in all probability 1t will be taken over by the county by the end of this week This will give Jones county two new court houses. each costing about s7O000, and In this respect the county will be better supplied than any other in the state. The two buildings are exact duplicates of each other, and are regard ed as splendid specimens of courthouse architecture. The county is now arrang- ing for complete new furnishings of the buildings throughout Contracts for the same have been made. and the goods are supposed to be installed by the 1st of May. special issue of bonds has been made to pay for the same and the money is now here to the credit of the county, ready to be turned over to the contrac- tors

SPRING SONG.

By Bliss Carman. Make me over, Mother April, When the sap begins to stir, When the flowery hand delivers All thes mountain-prisoned rivers, And thy great heart beats and quiverg To revive the days that were; Make me over. Mother April, when the
 sap begins to stir! Take my dust and all my dreaming. Count my heart beats one by one, Send them where the winters 6erish. Then some golden noon recherish, And restore them in the sun, Flower and scent, and dust and dreaming, With their heart beats, everyone! Let me taste the old immortal Incidence of life once more; Not recalling Upr foreseeing, Let the great. slow joys of being We'll my heart through as of yofol Let me taste the old immortal Indolence of life once morei

Memphis and Prohibition.

'The people over in Memphis appear to be in a rather dazed condition over their approaching prohibition environ ment," said Wesley Herndon. who re- moved from Birmingham to Memphis on the first of the year and who is back here for a few days visit. 'They look upon it as a terrible calamity and it is the main topic of conversation in the town, everyone wondering just what is going to happen. You can't get two men together but that they start talking about prohibition. So far as I could tell the sentiment appears to be against the leg islature for forcing 1t upon the town. July will apparently be dismal day in Memphis

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 The more daring a man has on the bat tlefeld the less courage he has in sick bed.
 The comfort a woman can find in grow ing stout is it's because of what happy nature she has.
 The meanest trick man can play on a girl is to believe her when she says she won't marry him.
 An engaged man is a terrible liar to make out he doesn't mind being stuck with pins every time he shows her how much he loves her.
 There's nothing makes man growl so much about at home and brag so much about downtown as what an sxpensivt family he supportA

Combinations on Rates.

Boston, April s-That any combination of railroads formed to arbitrate on the question of rates would be violation or the Sherman law, and that 1t will be use- less to enter into such combination, un- less all the railroads agreed to join, Is the attitude of the Boston and Maine railroad on the question of the differential rates as announced here today. These sugges- tions have been forwarded by the officials of the Boston and Maine railroad to the trunk line association, and 1t is expected that they would be taken up at the next meeting of the officials of that associa- ton.

 Now, however, the market is becoming active again and buyers are not only willing to pay s11.50 but $12 market is in sight Stocks are light and why anyone should sell at less than s11.5o is not clear to my mind.'
