BOGUS INSURANCE STOCKS.
Commissioner Advises Against Buying
Stock Without investigating.

The Mississippi insurance depart
ment continues to receive numerous
letters inquiring about sundry 1nsur-
ance companies offering the people OF
Mississippi stock, through stock sales
men In view Of the fact that the law
written by commissioner Henry, and
introduced in the last legislature
seeking to regulate this important
matter. failed Of passage, he is "ltn-
out the necessary information to satlS-
factorily answer such inquiries. Inc
bill in question passed the house, u
failed in the senate. Briefly, 1t pro-
yided that all insurance companies
desiring to sell stock in MISSISSIPPI
should first file their charter n all
material matters with the insurance
commissioner, and before selling n
stock they and all their stock sellers
| should be licensed and unde the SUI
| pervision of that department. Hao
hat bill passed, the evil would nave
been minimized, the people protecteu
from fraudulent concerns, and the
| sound ones placed on a basis Whefe
| their soundness could be known, ana
| the effect most salutary In other re-
! spects. AS it is the state is without
anv law regulating, or in any manner
controlling stock selling in insurance
companies. >,

MRS. WOODLAND GETS $4,000.
Sued Cumberland Telephone Company
for Death of Husband.

Pascagoula.-The case of Mrs. X. A
WOOdham VS.. the Cumberland Iele'
phone Company, who sued that com
pany for $4,000 damages for the death
of her husband, which occurred at Els
catawpa, a small village several miles
north of Moss Point in this county, re-
suited in a verdict of $4,000 for the
plaintiff. WoOdham was a subscriber
to a telephone lire that DR.. Burnhami
a physician, had erected, and was con-
Quoting at Estatawpa. The evidence
showed the following: On the day OF
Woodlands death the wire of the Cum
berland Company fell down during a
thunderstorm and acros the wires OF
the Burnham telephone line. AS the
current was igniting the houses III
which the telephone line ran, Burnhan
called up central of the Burnham I'M
and asked them to cut off the cur
rent, which was done. He then tried
to disengage the wires, and while he
was doing so the current was again
turned on without notice to him, ano
he was instantly killed, leaving a wife
and five children.

SHERIFF SUES FOR CONVICT.
Alleges That Man Convicted OF Muir
der Is Treated as Trusty.

Jackson.-In the supreme court AS
sistant Attorney General Mcdowell
presented an argument for the rein
statement Of the case ex rel e. II.
Wray, sheriff Of Bolivar county, be-
ing a habeas corpus matter involving
the appeal of Charlie Jones from that
county from his conviction of the MUIR
der of T. d. Pace, another white man.,
some two years ago. The case was
presented to the supreme court, re-
viewed by that tribunal and for rea-
SONS assigned was reversed and re-
manded for a new trial.
Meanwhile, pending the appeal,
Jones had been hustled out OF Bolivar
county for reasons deemed prudent,
and conveyed by Sheriff Wray to
Vicksburg, where he has been held
by Sheriff Kelly. 1t appears that the
authorities at Vicksburg have been
rather liberal in their treatment OF
Jones, and virtually have made a
trusty out of him, and this got to the
knowledge of the Bolivar authorities
who sued out writ of habeas corpus.
The assistant attorney general con-
tends that as the statute is positive on
the subject of denial of bail in such
cases as that which surrounds jones'
it certainly does not contemplate that
the provisions can be stretched so as
to give to the man convicted Of a fel
ony SO serious, virtually all the lib
erty enjoyed by a man who is out on
bail, which it is contended Jones is
enjoying. Hence Sheriff Wray wants
him back in Bolivar, where he can be
watched.

MEETING OF ~STOckMEN.
Breeders and D%airymen Will Convene

The annual meeting of the Missis
sippi Live Stock and Dairy Associa-
ton will be held at Starkville, on De-
cember 29th and 30th, and a program
for the event is now in course Of prep
aration.
The live stock industry Is rapidly
assuming new Importance in Mlssls-
sippi. During the past year millions
Of dollars have been invested by farm
ers in standard breeds Of hogs and
cattle for beef and dairy purposes,
and the farmers are going in Tor this
branch of agriculture with more earn
estness and determination than ever
before.
The willingness of a majority OF the
counties to rigidly enforce the quar-
antine laws in regions infested by the
cattle tick has also given a decided
impetus to the industry, and all inter
ests are being united to put the live
stick and dairy business on a firm and
enduring basis.
Several experts from the United
States department Of agriculture. bu'
reau of animal industry, have prom
ised to attend the Starkville conven'
ton and deliver addresses.

o21 BALES COTTON BURN.
Warehouse at Magee consumed-Ori
uin of Fire Unknown.

Magee.-The Magee warehouse, to-
gether with 921 bales of cotton and
three box cars was completely de-
stroyed by fire Saturday.
The building was owned by a local
stock company and was fully insured
The estimated value of the cotton
burned is 5000, with possibly two
thirds insurance.
If the merchants could have gotten
cars as ordered the loss would not
have been so heavy, as it sometimes
takes two days to get cars.
Quite a lot of farmers had depos-
tied cotton in the warehouse, secured
tickets and carried them home, which
means a total loss for them. Others
had left tickets with their merchants
and secured receipts for them. The
origin OF the fire is unknown.

MEAT PACKING PLANT.
Plan to Establish a $25o,ooo industry
In tho Capital City.

Jackson.-Hon. G. A. Wilson, OF Lex
ington, a well-known capitalist, planter
and banker, is in the city conferring
with local business men relative to
the plans for establishing a meat pack
ing plant in Jackson capitalized al
from $25O,0OO to $350,OOO.
While it is the purpose to interest,"
local capitalists in the new industry
the principal promoters are capitalists
in other states who recently SEM
agents to Jackson to look over the
field and who have made a favorable
report on the project. Mr.. Wilson
said:
1.-The promoters have ample capltal
for building the plant, but | am al
vised that they are willing to allow
local capital to acquire an interest,
believing that local influences will
prove a strong factor in it's support.
"The farmers of Mississippi are go
ing into the stock raising industry IN
earnest, and we can expect som won
derful strides within the next few
years. However, it is useless for Oul
farmers to raise cattle, sheep m hogs
unless they can find ready market FOL
their animals, and a big meat packing
| plant in Jackson will supply this need
The farmers realize that they cannot
| slaughter all the meat they raise am
| sell it at home, and, while they ough'
to always keep the smokehouse ful
for home consumption, they must have
cash market for the surplus products.

the remainder Of the bond issue OF

option on them to a party in the north

will probably become the purchaser.
