SACkvILLE CLAlMAN
DISMIssEs HIS LAWSUIT

London, Feb. 16.--The Sackville
peerage romance came to a prosaic end
today when the dismissal Of the nett
ton of Ernest Henry Sackville West,
who sought to establish a legal claim
to the title n estates of his father,
the late Lord Lionel Sackville-West
former British minister at Washington.
Sir John Bigham. president of the
probate court, condemned the. petitioner
to pay the costs, which must have been
very heavy. The petition was opposed
by the present Lord Sackvillle. a
nephew Of h late lord, on the ground
that his uncle had never married Jo-
sefa Dugan, the mother Of the peti.
toner.

Parliament
OPENS new SESSION

Very Doubtful.

London. Feb. 1.-THE third parlia-
ment of King Edward assembled this
afternoon. The ceremony was Of the
simplest character. all the royal page
antry connected with the state open
ing being postponed to February q.
and the interim devoted to the swear
ing in of members n the clearing
away, IL possible. of the d%iflculties
confronting the government.
These difficulties are due moi only
to the divergent interests actuating
the various parties which constitute
the coalition majority, but to the d.
visions within the parties themselves
over the best means of graphing with
the great issues brought about in the
recent appeal to the country.
MOI for many ear las such intense
interest attached to the opening OF the
legislature and seldom nave the prob
lens involving the success or failure
of the government threatened to be so
difficult of solution even to the most
capable Of the members Of parliament.
The lower chamber reelected Right
Hon. James William Lowther member
for the Penrith division of Cumberland,
speaker. and forthwith the swearing In
of its members was commenced.
The house was in session one hour
when adjournment was taken.

on to glory now, but in writing to the
Religious Herald, of Richmond, Va, on
his last visit to this church, a short
time before hts death, he pays Miss
Bagby this beautiful tribute:
II occupied the pulpit on the morn
ing of the first Sunday in April, (1905.)
The congregation filled the spacious
auditorium. At the conclusion of the
service it was my privilege to shake
hands with many aged people whose
acquaintance l made a half century
church is the saintliest woman l have
ever known-Miss Mary Bagby. She
is perhaps the oldest member. Her
father, A, P. Bagby was once Cover
nor of the state. subsequently he
was Senator in Congress, and still
later Minister to Russia. I saw my
father baptize him and his three
daughters in a beautiful stream on
the outskirts of the city, in the pres
ence of five thousand spectators.
Miss Mary Bagby was the teacher
of select school for young ladies in
Mobile for a period of thirty years.
She has left the imprint of her noble
mind and great heart on the charac-
ters of her hundreds of pupils. Her
self-denials and heroic labors in help
ing the needy have made her the best
loved woman in that ancient city. In.
visible fingers are weaving for her
an imperishable chaplet."

THE LAW is ALL RIGHT.
Editor News:

Editor News:
In your issue on Wednesday a let
ter appeared in the space you kindly
open to the people, in which the wri-
ter asks, "is it right to enforce the
stock law"
For his benefit he ought to be in
formed that we have stock law in
this city, and that's all right" We
have one of the best stock keepers;
and that's all right" He does the
work better than any pound keeper
we have ever had; and that's all
right" In my humble opinion its the
only bylaw in the city that ia carried
out all right, although law-ahading
folks have a great champion in The

purify Hattiesburg, and is getting in
good work; and that's all right"
Keep at it Mr.. Editor; you are all right.
Down cur way come of us who are

to nibble it off for us. And though it
took the inquirer 80 years, he says, to

not dispute with him about, we trust
it will not take him that long to find
out that it is right to enforce the law.
He also has found out that we live in
free state; maybe we do, but in forty
years / have not yet found out that
we are free to Craze our stock in 9TH
