to ask consideration and won their
way to the hearts of the jury and of
the audience. The clover, the golden

The Governor has been weighted

LIVELY CONTEST
| FOR COUNTY ATTY.
Friends of Messrs. Hall, Hill And
Cook Are Making Themselves
Busy.-Letters to Governor.

The contest for appointment to the
office of county attorney is getting
rather interesting in Hattiesburg, and
friends of each of the three local ap-
plicants, Messrs. r. s. Hall, Claude
Hill and VIM. H. Cook are sending
letters and kilograms to Governor
Noel, urging the appointment of their
respec tive favorite.
The contest is a good-natured one,
and each of the gentlemen mentioned
has substantial following of friends
who Will work increasingly in their
interest.
1t is not known just when the ap-
pointment will be made, and it is
thought probable that all these posi-
tions will not be filled until after the
legislature adjourns, as it is said that
1t will not be necessary for the legis-
lature to confirm them. For that
reason, it may be some time before an
appointment of an attorney for For
rest county will be made.
Governor Noel is making some ap-
pointments of this character, but such
as have been made were in counties
where there was only one applicant
for the position. The large number
of judicial appointments which the
governor will have to dispose of be-
fore the legislature adjourns, in order
that they may be confirmed, is re-
quiring the larger portion of his time,
and it is believed that he will neces-
sarily leave the appointment of coun-
ty attorneys at the bottom of his cal
endar.

Yesterday Afternoon.

One of the stormiest scenes ever
enacted on the floor of the Mississippi
senate took place this afternoon dur
ing the Bilbo-Dulaney bribery inves-
tigation.
Political passion was at a white
neat, political resentment was stirred
10 the point where'tw senators fran
tlcaliy struggled to get at each other
and exchange blows, and a dozen
members were equally eager to re-
strain them.
The incident occurred during the
cross-examination of Hon. L. c. Du-
laney, whom Senator BiIbo charges
gave him a bribe in the sum of S645
to change his vote from Vardaman to
Percy.
Senator Tucker was conducting the
ross-examination, and the trouble
started when he fired this question:
Il am requested to ask if it ia not
fact that Leroy Percy paid the ex-
pense OF all the Senatorial candidates
except Vardaman?'
Ihere was intense silence for a mo-
ment, and neither the witness nor the
members seemed to catch the full sig
nl1cance of the query. Finally Mr.
Dulaney, with anger and resentment
In his voice, replied:
That is so far fetched and So alb
surd that it isn't worth answering.

The sentence was hardly finished
When Senator George Banks, who
managed Congressman Adam Byrd's
campaign for the senatorship, arose
and said:

AT this juncture Senator w. d An.
derson, counsel for the senate in the
pending investigation, and one of tbe
senatorial candidates before the Dem.
ocratic voices, arose slowly from his
seat and said:
i repel that foul insinuation with
scorn and contempt, and | want to
know who is responsible for it,"
senator Tucker was standing di.
rectly IN front of the clerks desk and
he looked very much astonished AT
the storm that had suddenly broken
over his head. He hastened to assure
Senator Anderson that he did moi
mean to include him in the question
because he withdrew from the con.
test early in the race. He insisted
however. on asking the question as if
applied to the other candidates and
the storm, which for the moment had
slightly lulled, broke afresh.

dirty charge" shouted Senator Nc
Gehee

McGehee as he started for the front
OF the chamber. 81 have my rights

Senator Anderson was still on the
floor and trying to make himself
heard. In the midst of the turmoil he
exclaimed
rs it possible that no man is free
from foul insinuation?"
THAT question is shameful" said
Senator McGehee. "and I'll resign and
go home before I'll be besmirched in
any such manner"

question and have it expunged from
the record.

INTERESTING BILL
PASSED BY THE HOUSE
Special to The NeWS.

Special to The Net0S.
Jackson, Miss, April 9.-The house
passed bill Friday afternoon to re-
duce the cost of, anaiyzing fertilizers
| from 80 to 10 cents ton, but it was
only done after fight on the floor, in
which taxation in South Mississippi
and the A. & M. College had been dis
cussed at considerable length.
Then, after the bill was passed, the
point was raised by Mr.. Yewell who
entered a protest, that the bill was a
| revenue measure and required three
fifths of all the members voting to
carry it.
Mr.. Afford, Mr.. Stennis and Mr..
Greene spoke for the bill, while Mr..
Morrison and Mr.. Burkitt opposed.
Mr.. Afford took the position that,
since the funds were to be turned into
the state treasury, and not into the
A. & M. College, he thought the fee
should be reduced, as it was the far
mer who paid the cost, and not the
manufacturer. He further said it did
not cost over 10 cents to analyze ton
of fertilizer.
It was this last statement that
brought Mr.. Morrison to his feet. He
said the reports of the A. & M. Col
lege showed it had cost more than
this, and wanted to know why. lafnce
the money was to be paid Into the
state treasury, it cost less to I'VE
the fertilizer than before
Mr.. Greene followed Mr.. Nor son,
making good speech inff&EcN u the
bill, and was in turn, fol- fod VI Mr..
Burkett. Mr.. Burkett 681dea q per-

VIRGINIAN EXPECTS FORTUNE

]. S. Rinehart, OF Broadway, Rock
ingham, county, Va, and his brother,

inherited millions. Wilhelm is pack
ing his trunk and getting ready to sail
for London.
A London barrister has written the

ready to be surrendered to them by
