Examine Embryo Pharmacists.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 18.-The
date for the semi-annual or fall
meeting of the Mississippi State
Board of Pharmaceutical Examin-
ers, ut which time they will exam
inc all applicants who may present
themselves for license to practice
pharmacy in the State, is near at
hand. L. H. Wilkinson, Jr., of
Greenwood, secretary and executive
officer. announces that the Board
will meet in the State capitol build
ing On Tuesday, October 4th, open
ing up at the usual hour of nine
o'clock, and they expect a large
attendance. Unlike the State Board
of Health, this Board has not sent
out a request for the photographs Of
intending applicants, though In
other respects they propose to be
just as firm and rigid in carrying
out the duties imposed upon them
by law as has always been the case.
All non-registered in the State are
reminded of the importance of being
present and taking the prescribed
examination, in conformity with the
law. Otherwise they run the risk
of indictment and trial for violation
of the statutes, in their case made
and provided, and in which the
county prosecuting attorneys are
expected to take their part in seeing
that the law is complied with, with
a view to promoting the safety and
welfare of the people who depend
on these prescriptionists. Secretary
Wilkinson states that the county
attorneys will be pressed into ser
vice to assist the Board, after the
fall examinations, and that all men
who are not then registered will be
proceeded against as the law directs.

Louisiana skins US alive in two or
three of her laws. That State is
now reaping piles Of revenue be-
cause of their encouragement to the
influx of capital. Several million
dollar concerns are now operating
near the boundary limits of our
State, paying taxes to Louisiana and
draining our timber lands. The
progressive people Of New Orleans
are now circulating all over the
country cards and posters to the
effect that "by constitutional amend
ment, the State of Louisiana, two
years ago, perpetuaIly freed from
all taxation, all monies invested or
which may be invested in paper
secured by real sstate."
As a result of this wise amend
ment, many large tracts of virgin
and immensely fertile low lands
around New Orleans and other
cities are now being reclaimed, set
tied and cultivated. This makes
the net return, per acre, to the
farmer large, to such a degree that
their climate, soil, health and pro-
d~Ictiveness are attracting many
immigrants.
1t is an undisputed fact that there
are no better lands in the world
than those in Mississippi, especially
whom climatic conditions, tho soil,
health and productiveness, are
taken into consideration. In fact

lands is unsurpassed by any soil il

MCCARTHY DECLARES
FOR LIBERAL TOWN
New Mayor of San Francisco Takes
Charge of'City's Affairs and Out
lines Policies He Will
Garry Out

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-The new
city administration, headed by Mayor
Mccarthy, took charge of the munich
pal government here at noon. The in
coming board of supervisors will hold
its first meeting next Monday.
No formal ceremonies accompanied
the change, the retiring officials merely
turning over their offices and records to
their successors.
The mayor and nearly all of the other
officers, as well as two-thirds of the
board of supervisors, are members of
the Union Labor party.
In lengthy message to the board of
supervisors this afternoon the new
mayor outlined his policies. He insists
on wise economy in the citys offices,
and especially disapproves of automo-
biles for city officials at public expense.
Mayor Mccarthy repeats his cam
paign phrase that this is "city of
pleasure lovers and pleasure seekers
and asserts that the ordinances should
be so amended that mot only shall
those engaged in legitimate pursuits
have reasonable liberties and freedom
of action, but those who seek our city
for the pleasure which it may afford
personal protection while they are our
guests
He takes fling at the outgoing ad-
by giving an itemized list
of the addresses of various pool rooms,
gambling places and other illegal re-
sorts that are now and have been for
some time in operation, responsibility
for which he says he does not desire his
administration to assume.

Shot

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 28.-Frederick
Goebel, d packer employed in a whole
sale dry goods house. was shot and
probably fatally wounded early this
morning while attempting to break into
his wife's apartments to punish her for
having instituted divorce proceedings
against him,
The Goebels came to Denver more
than year ago from California, where
they were married two years ago.
Recently Mrs. Goebel brought suit
for divorce against her husband, al
leging extreme cruelty.
From 4:30 yesterday afternoon until
an early hour this morning no fewer
than six small riots were quelled by the
police at the Goebel residence on We'll
ton street resulting from the efforts
of Goebel to break into his wife's rooms
and wreak vengeance on her.
During the afternoon he met her on
the street and nearly choked her to
death. Later he again attacked her in
a physicians office. Guards were sta
toned around the Goebel home and
Goebel was driven off number of
times.
Finally he eluded the guards, lowered
himself to the basement, kicked down
one door and was trying to break
down another when he was surrounded.
Throwing one guard aside, he ran, pur-
sued by police, who fired at him, and
later he was found in a doorway with
a bullet hole through his body.
AT the county hospital it was said
Goebel would not live through the day.

John r. Walsh to Sign Contract in

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-The final move in
the settlement between John r. Walsh
and the Chicago clearing house banks,
probably will be taken today or
Monday.
Edward C. Ritsher, Walsh's counsel,
announced yesterday that the contract
Walsh is to sign is being drawn up,
and the convicted bankers signature
probably will be affixed to it not later
than Monday.
The decision of the United States su-

certiorari is likely to be handed down
about the same time. If the decision
is against Walsh the court of appeals
is expected to hand its mandate over

issuance of a capias by the district
court clerk and on this and on the au-
thority of the mandate, Walsh will be
taken to the federal prison at LeaVen-
