Loans to Be Exempt.

The bill introduced in the house with
a view to exempting 6 per cent. money
from taxation, is being considerably dis
cussed, to greater or less extent. The
measure proposes that upon its enact
ment and approval all money thereafter
loaned in the State by residents of the
State at a rate of interest not exceeding
6 per centum shall be exempt from taxa
ton. This exemption shall apply to all
moneys loaned and regarded as solvent
credits, where they are secured by deeds
of trust, vendors lien or otherwise.

DEATH COMES TO GOV. LOWRY.
Twice Governor of His State, He Wa a
Foremost Man in Mississippi for Half

Foremost Man in Mississippi for Half
a Century.
At the home of his granddaughter,
Mrs. d. w. Buie, Gen. Robert Lowry, ex-
Governor of the State of Mississippi and
one of its staunchest and trust citizens,
before, during and since the war between
the States, at $3.50 Wednesday night
passed peacefully away.
At the time of his death Gen. Lowry
was commander-in-chief of the Missis-
sippi division, United Confederate Vete-
rams, as he had been for the past five
years, and no leader was ever more de-
votedly followed and loved thar he by
that loyal and fast thinning circle.
Robert Lowry was born in the Ches-
terrified district of South Carolina, March
10, 1881, being the son of Robert Lowry,
of that State, and of Scotch-Irish ances-
try. In 1893 his father moved to Ten
nessee, and thence into Tishomihgo u
ty, Miss, in 1910. A few years later
young Robert moved to Raleigh, Smith
county.
In the year 1854 he removed to Arkan-
sas, where he read law, n was event.
ually admitted to the bar of that State,
where he practiced for five years. Sub
sequently Robert Lowry moved to Bran
don again, and established himself in
the practice of his profession with Judge
A. G. Mayors. When the war between
the States came on he was quick to en-
list, and joined the Rankin Grays as a
private, under the late Capt. j. J. Thorn
ton, who subsequently, became a colonel
of the Sixth regiment of infantry, while
Lowry was commissioned a major.
He was in all the engagements and
campaigns in Mississippi, at Corinth,
Port Gibson, Bakers Creek and Vicks-
burg, and in the spring of 1854 was with
Folks division in Georgia, taking part
in all the campaigns and skirmishes, and
in recognition of his ability and bravery
was commissioned as brigadier-generat
in February, 1865.
After the war was over he returned
to Brandon and took up the interrupted
thread of life, setting down to his law
practice. In 1865 he was elected as a
Democrat as State Senator for Smith
and Rankin counties. He received the
nomination for Governor in 1881, in OPP
position to S. S. Calhoon, Ethelbert
Barksdale, w. S. Featherstone and K. l..
Taylor, and was elected over Benjamin
King, Republican, by a vote OF $1,000 to
SO. 900, and was ~inaugurated January 9,
1882, and in 1885 was reelected for a
second term.
Since his retirement from the Govern
or's chair Gen. Lowry remained a citizen
of Jackson, practieing his profession and
walking honorably and proudly before all
men, a man whom every one loved and
respected, living the quiet, simple life OF
a Mississippi gentleman and patriot.

Cannot Recover Taxes.

Attorney : General Stirling has ad-
dressed to the board of supervisors OF
Noxubee county an official opinion rela-
tive to features attending the county
agricultural high school law of the 1908
session, which was declared u~nconstitu-
tional by the supreme court, in that 1T
discriminates in favor of one race entire
ly. The point submitted to the attorney
general was as to whether those who
paid the taxes prescribed and authorized
for the specific purpose of the high school
had any right of recovery or remission.
The encouragement holds that unless
the taxes now in the county treasury and
which were collected under the act of
1908 wer paid under protest, or the tax
payer raised objection at the time OF
payment, there is little chance for recov-

The fire fiend is rampant these days.
Yet when one considers how careless
the great majority are with this spedi-
est and most destructive of the ele-
ments, the wonder is that fires are
not even more frequent. In the
blazes of the past week OF SO in differ
emit places the careless cigar stump
has played quite a prominent part.
1t seems a little thing at the time to
attend to, but if there is a law against
throwing refuse on the street there
should be an even more stringent one
against tossing away a spark capable
of starting an expensive fire or en-.
dangering a human life.

House Reverses Itself.

House ReverSeS ltSelI.
The feature in the house proceedings
Tuesday was the action on the second
reading of the Jones concurrent resolu-
lion providing for a constitutional amend
ment to abolish the office OF county
treasurer. This resolution had passed the
house on its first reading during the first
week of the session by an almost unan-
imous vote, but Tuesday the house re-
versed itself, defeating the measure by
4 vote of Sc to 81. 1t was significant
that the opposition was general and not
confined to any particular section

Want Drainage Act Left Alone.

One of the strongest delegations OF
men, both numerically as well as in con-
nection with the material interests which
they represent, which has waited on Gov.
Noel since the session of the legislature
began was that which he met Wednes-
day, and whom he heard patiently for
nearly two hours. 1t was a delegation
of men living in the Tallahatchie drain
age district and who are vastly inter
ested in having the act creating and
providing for that big drainage system
unmolested. The purpose of their visit
here was to attempt to Offset the effect
of the appeals and the demands made
upon the governor by the delegation
which visited him shortly before or just
about the time that the session began,
whose mission was to persuade the gov
ernor to recommend to the legislature the
repeal or modification of the existing law.
It was argued that the preservation of
over 100000 acres of valuable land was
involved in this question and meant an
increase in value far surprising the $780,
900 special tax for the up-keep of the
district.
Urge Solons to Do Business.
Sober-minded members of the legisla-
ture who nave not been swept from their
feet by enthusiasm and partisan feeling
in the senatorial contest, have reached
the conclusion that it is high time for
their colleagues to pay less attention to
politics and devote more time to the real
business pending for consideration.
The conviction is growing that there is
little, if any, likelihood of the senatorial
deadlock being broken within the next
ten days, if it is broken at all, and that
much of the time and attention given
to it by legislators is practically wasted,
conferences, caucuses and hotel lobby dis
cussions having had no effect whatever
in changing the general outlook.
In a word, it is believed to be high
time that the senatorial contest be looked
upon as a cold-blooded condition, and not
a novelty, and more energies devoted to
the task of law-making.
