The Shiawassee Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company has been called upon to
meet large number of heavy losses
during the present year as will be seen
from the list published herewith. The
officers hope that it will not be neces-
sary to make a second assessment this
year and have fairly good balance on
hand, which with small loan in case
of large fire or two, would tide them
over until next year. 1t is a matter of
satisfaction that the losses this year are
less than-last at this timey The list OF
the heavy losses and cause of fire for
1909 follows.
AS noted in our columns some weeks
ago abill passed by the last legis lature

surance companies to make lower rate

will be necessary to change the com

next annual meeting and this will pro
badly be done and the new classification
can then be made according to hazard
A number of the members of the com
pany have already protected theil
buildings with rods many of then
made according to specifications fount
in bulletin issued by the Agri
cultural College-and Others will do sc
at once so that advantage may be taker
of the new rating if adopted.

Special to Commercial Appeal.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. a9.-Numerous
applications in the interest of speedy
and adequate administration of Justice
have been made to Governor Noel to
submit to the legislature the question
Of rearranging the chancery and circuit
court districts, SO as to create several
new districts and to give each county a
sufficient length of court terms and no
more than is required to dispose of it's
business. 1t has been reported to him,
for instance, that the chancery bus
mess in the districts of Chancellors
Wood and Denton and the circuit court
districts Of Judges Wilkinson and w.
IL. Cook is far more in extent than
those courts can properly attend to,
and that the criminal business in GER
tain counties, for instance, Amite,
Franklin and Marion, requires more
time than is allowed for the whole
courts; and involves almost defeat of
JnstIce, Ill many eases, through DELAYS,
as we'll as piiing up expense on lit
igants and the counties; and that econ
omy would be promoted, as we'll as more
efficient and speedy Justice, by length
ehing the terms of courts in a number
of counties; and that in few counties
uhe terms are ample or more. As an ex-
ample, the district attorney reports
that ia Forest county at tho last term
there were 175 state cases with So or
40 appeals from the city court, and a
civil docket equally as large; and in
Marion county, at the last term there
We're loo cases on the criminal docket,
OF which so were disposed of, and then
155 additional indictments were found.
1t would take more than a year of
the terms of courts as now fixed to try
the criminal business on hand, without
touching civil business.
ernor Noel will submit to the legisla-
ture Authority to redistrict the State
and to create, il necessary, additional
districts. Until that matter is settled
" VIC loSfStduures ne VIII not make
any judicial appointments, and now
makes this announcement to relieve
himself Of the heavy mail that comes to
his Office on the idea, which he first had.
that judicial appointments would be
made very early in January. They will
not be made until the legislature dis
poses of the redistrict matter. which
may be the latter part of January.

LEGISLATIVE MATTERS
10 BE CONSIDERED.
Gov. Noel Directs a Few to which lie
Wlli Direct Attention.

Northern newspaper having queried
its Jackson correspondent to know what
the Legislature of Mississippi was
Liable to do, he put the question to Gov.
Noel as TO what he is going to recon-
mand TO the law makers. The Governor
stated that he has not vet written his
message, and is not fully decided on
some OF the matters that have been
brought to his atten tion, but he is de-
termined to open the way for the con-
sideration of the elective judiciary; the
juvenile reformatory, the equalization
of assessments, the income tax, the ag-
cultural high school, reformation in
criminal law procedure so as to prevent
the decision OF cases on technical
grounds, the selection of iuries, the
creation of the office of county attorney
with the duty Of prosector in the Justice
courts, etc. Perhaps there will be sug-
gestions as to the exemption from taxa
tion of money that IS loaned at per
cent, something as 20 the lien law and
its repeal, etc.
sion is to consider nothing but revenue
and appropriation bills, and according
to the law it can last only 80 days, ex-
cept in case the Governor extends tho
session so that matters to which he
calls attention may be considered.
Possibly the session might have been
concluded in 30 days if the Senatorial
question had not been thrust on tho
law makers, but the chances are that
little IN the way of legislation will be
attended TO until the successor to Sen
ator McLaurin is selected, and that
cannot be done till the 18th day of the
month. In view Of the fact that there
