Special to The NerS.
Jackson. Miss, Jan. lS.-Dry as a
powder horn. and featureless as
castaway cactus plant, were the pro-
ceooings incident to the taking of the
eighteenth and nineteenth ballots in
the senatorial caucus last night
# there were any sensations or fill
clustering movements scheduled they
were not apparent, there having been
nothing but the same routine that
has characterized other purely voting
sessions. In anticipation of debates
and excitement incident to the meet
ing tonight. there was a rush for the
three hundred or so gallery seats by
the populace of Jackson long before
the time for the meeting, while for
the same reasons the corridors out
side of the house lobby and the ada
cent offices were packed and jammed
with men interested in one way or
the other in the result. The voting
showed absolutely nothing new, all
the candidates maintaining their rel
ative standing, there being a rather
smaller number of voters, by COM
parison than on any previous occa-
sion, the last ballot, showing only 167
men voting. though the rolls showed
that there were more than that num-
bor on hand
The caucus adjourned shortly after
. o'clock to meet again as a caucus
this afternoon. Meanwhile, the mem
bers will meet as a legislature and
at the prescribed hour of noon each
house will vote for a United States
senator to succeed A. J. McLaurin.
In view of the fact that the mem
bers all seem determined to abide
by the forms of the Gibbs scatter
ing" resolution, there are likely to
be a number of distinguished citizens
of Mississippi who will receive com
plimentary votes. So far as known
tonight. very few members seem to
have decided on any complimentary
candidate. and it is probable that it
viii be pretty much a go-as-you please
o. consolation race.
That Governor Vardaman led In
the vote getting with Mr. Percy next
and Judge Critz at the tail end. was
| expected. with both sides standing
pat to their leaders.

MAY ABOLISH
THE OFFICES
OF County And City Treasurer
p If Potter Bill Becomes Law.
- And 1t May ::5..s 2.
Special to The NeWs.

Special to The NesOs. --'...'
Jackson, Miss. Jan. 1s.-The Sen
ate judiciary committee held a meet
ing yesterday and decided upon a
favorable report for all the Potter
bills, the series of which contemplates
practically abolishing all county and
municipal treasurers' offices and Gre
ating in their stead repositories who
will pay interest on the public funds
they hold, instead of collecting sala-
ries for holding it. 1t would be un-
constitutional to abolish the office OF
county treasurer, but the bill along
that line fixes the salary in each
county at 5000, which almost means
the same thing, although it will not
be difficult to get the office filled al
that figure, because the banks are
more than willing to do all the work
and take all the responsibility off the
treasurer's hands. These will be con
sidered as the special order fol
Wednesday.

ADDITIONAL STATIONS
And Secretary BixIer Can See No
Good Reason Why Hattiesburg
Should Not Get One Of Them-WiIl
Act Immediately.

In conformity with its usual prompt
action on all matters pertaining to
che welfare and advancement of the
interests of this city and section. the
Hattesburg Commercial Club will
make a desperate and systematic eff
fort to secure one of the new agri-
cultural experiment stations recon-
mended by Governor Noel in his spe-
cial message to the legislature yes
terday.
Secretary Bixler, upon being inter
rogated this morning by a newspaper
reporter with reference to the clubs
probable action in the premises, stat
ed that the matter would be looked
into Immediately, and if there was
any possible chance for such a thing
one of the new stations would be 10
Gated here. we must so after il
and get H." said Mr.. Bixler. There
is no such thing as standing still
and catching the good things as they
go by. FOR, as a general rule, people
who don't expect much get little, and
we are making it rule to go after
anything and everything that will ben
eft Hattiesburg and this immediate

Senate Takes Action.

1t is known that the state senate
has already taken business action on
two of the bills providing for new eX-
pertinent stations, and it is altogether
probable that the third will be re-
ported favorably within the next few
days. The measure, as recommended
by Governor Noel, are said to have
met with general approval by legis-
lators. as agriculture is now receiv-
ing more consideration by larger
number of citizens of this state than
at any time in it's history.
The establishment of an expert
ment station on cut-over pine lands
would do more towards demonstrating
the worth of these lands than could
be accomplished by any other means
and it is thought that Governor Noe
would look favorably upon a propo
sition to establish one of them here
For this purpose committee of the
Commercial Club will probably bt
sent to Jackson Immediately, and ;
proposition rendering a donation o
the necessary lands for this purpose
will likely be made. At any event
if there is any possibility of getting
the farm located here, the CONNER
cial Club may be depended upon t,
exhaust every resource at it's dispos
al in an effort to secure one of tn
new stations.
