WILLIAMS CASE
NEARING THE end
PPatricide, Will Probably Be With
the Jury Tonight.


Special to The Mems
QUlTMAN, Miss, September 90
The trial of Ollie Williams, charged
with patricide, was resumed in the
circuit court Saturday morning. The
defense resumed introducing its testl-
mony, which consisted mainly of char
acter witnesses. Twelve or fifteen
witnesses gave the deceased a PAD
reputation for violence. About 10 a
m. the defense rested its case, when
the state began the introduction OF
rebuttal testimony, introducing the
jury of inquest that inquired into the
case.
Most of these witnesses testified
that the defendant, Ollie Williams,
when on examination before their
body, stated that he was seated by the
side of his father and that his father
was in good humor, discussing the
next days routine of labors when the
fatal shots were fired. The state also
introduced a number of witnesses on
the character of the deceased, giving
him a good reputation for peace.
The proceedings grew more interest
ing at each session and during the en-.
tire morning there were lively tits
between the counsel for state and de-
Tense on defendants objections to the
rebuttal testimony, and the state
scored several important points on
contradictory evidence.
At noon court adjourned until tooay
when the state will complete its tes-
tmony, and if necessary the defense
will introduce surrebuttal testimony.
The arguments will be completed to-
day and in all probability the jury viii
return a verdict by Tuesday morning.

TURPENTINE CASES

Revenue Agent Adams Wants to Dc

JACKSON, September 90 SiaIo
I,evenue Agent Writ Adams has de
cided to make a legal test of the tax
exemption claims of turpentine DIS
tillers in South Mississippi.
A large number of persons and cor
porations operating distilleries in tina
section of the state held leases on
turpentine rights to yellow pine tracts,
and pay no taxes thereon. Some tim
since the Supreme Court rendered a
opinion to the effect that turpentine
rights cannot be assessed separate
and apart from the land. or the TIM
ber thereon, and the distillers thereb
escaped taxation amounting to thoL-
sands Of dollars annually.
Many Inaccuracies.
This opinion was rendered in Han
cock county case submitted to the
Supreme Court on an agreed state Ct
facts, and Revenue Agent Adams has
D6eH ctuNlScu ludC tllC ooiSNi'thi
facts submitted to the tribunal con
tanned many gross inaccuracies and er-
roneous statement. He has therefore
determined to open the subject for
review, and claims will be filed against
a large number of distillers as soon
as they can be prepared by the rev.
enue agents deputies.
Large Sum Involved.
If the contention of the revenue
agent is sustained it will mean tn
payment into the state aad county
treasures of back taxes amounting
to between 100000 and $500, 900. Some
of the claims will be very large. For
instance, the Imperial Naval Stores
Company, of New Orleans, holding
turpentine rights in South Mississippi
counties alone worth more than mil
lion dollars.

A STATE NORMAL

Jackson, Miss, September 90
Governor Noel has advised the educa-
tional leaders of the state of his will
ingness to permit consideration at the
next legislative session of the proposed
establishment of a state normal and
training school for teachers.
The Governor has been for several
years a staunch advocate of this pro
posed institution, and it was not an
ticipated that any difficulty would be
encountered in securing his sanction
for its consideration at the approach
ing session, although he has decided
to place a limit ON the range of legis
lation, confining the lawmakers to
revenue and appropriation bills, and
such general subjects as he may deem
of vital importance.

1t is estimated that at least $780,
600 will be needed for launching the
institution, improvements and exten.
sions to be made from time to tine as
circumstances warrant.
Should Be Centrally Located.
The prevailing opinion among edu-
cational leaders is that the normal
school should be centrally located, but
they will not endeaVor to have the site

makers that question being left open
for disposal by the board of directors
and doubtless the leading cities and
towns of the state will be given opor-

The fight for a state normal school
has been persistently waged by the
teachers for several years, and at each
biennial term they have been de-

HOO H0OS PUT
BAN ON BOOZE
Order Prohibits Use of Intoxcanta
Concentrations or at
Banquets.
(Southern Lumberman.)

u.D
The Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo
took the best step in it's history at its
recent eighteenth annual meeting a
Hot Springs, when it adopted an addi
ton to its constitution and bylaws
absolutely prohibiting the use Of al
Intoxicating liquors at concentrations
or at the informal repasts that it ha
been the custom to provide at sue
meetings. Heretofore, ever since the
order was formed, the procedure TO
the social session, or "Session-on-the
Roof as it has been called in the Yer
nacular of the order has been pre-
scribed. While stronger liquors hav
always been barred, wine and bee
have been expressly permitted. Tha
there was to be something to drink
such meetings was understood. 1t was
expected as part of the program. In
MANY instances abuse has occurred
and all over the country the tendency
has grown up to look on the socia
session as the main event, the prope
initiation of new members into the or
der and other business being mere in
cidents
1t is this appearance of official en-
dorsement of drinking that is now
done away with in vigorous and une
ouivocal language. 1t is a very prop
er step. 1t puts the order in line with
the manifest spirit of the times. The
Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, n
more than any other order or organ
ization, can control by legislation
the action or conduct of its individual
members, but that it sets its face
against a certain line of conduct will
be of immediate influence in eliminat-
ing that conduct.
There is no question but that the
order has been presented in an unfa-
vorable aspect to the general public.
1t is difficult to draw the line be-
tween liberty and license, or in thi
country to disassociate in the public
mind any sort of a good time from
the idea of liquor drinking. An Illus
tration of the view the public has com
to take of Hoo-Hoo is shown in con
nection with this meeting at Hot
Springs. A spirited, but perfectly fair
and good natured rivalry developed be-
tween San Francisco and Nashville
as applicants for the 1910 annual meet
ing. Both cities We're represented by
strong delegations. San Francisco
won, and the associated press widely
spread the announcement that Nash
vile was defeated because Tennessee
is a prohibition state. That matte
was absolutely not mentioned in tn
arguments advanced, and if it was
suggested by any individual member
was in purely jocular way. It cut
no figure in the decision.
The order is to be congratulated
upon the step it has taken and every
good and loyal member in it should
lend his utmost personal influence to
see that it is made effective. Most
men do what they think is expected of
them. The concatenated Order of
Hoo-Hoo, through the unanimous sen
timent developed at this annual meet
ing, shows that it expects all it's mem
bers to so conduct themselves and
have Others conduct themselves at
all meetings of it's members as to re
