THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
Battle Over Place of A.. ]. McLaurin Viii
Complicate Legislation.

All forms of legislation will be COM
p%licated and hampered by the pending
senatorial contest, and little or no head
wav can be made with revenue or APP
preparation bills until the fight has been
disposed of, according to the general
opinion among lawmakers, who nave as
sembled in Jackson for the biennial SEES
sion. In many quarters the opinion pre-
walls that a deadlock is inevitable.
The several aspirants are maintaining
strict reticence concerning the number OF
votes they expect to muster, and from no
quarter can authentic statements on this
subject be secured. Legislators are being
deluged with letters and kilograms ask
ing for their support, but it can be stated
with absolute assurance that, up to this
time, a majority of the members have
not been positively pledged.
Should a deadlock develop and remain
unbroken at the expiration of the 3O-day
limit fixed by the constitution for the
session, Gov. Noel could refuse to grant
an extension.

Overcome Boil Weevll.

According to advices to Commissioner
of Agriculture Blakeslee, the people OF
Southwest Mississippi, and especially
down through Adams, Amite and VIII
kinson counties, where the boil weevll
has made itself felt most disastrously
to the cotton crop raised this year, are
taking the invasion in philosophic spirit.
Speaking of some parts of that terri
tory. particularly around Gloster and
CenteryilIe. he states that it is most
gratifying to note the manner III which
they are taking the coming of the boil
weevil and the steps that they are tax
inc to get along in spite of the noted
insect. He has recently paid a visit to
that part Of the State, and from his OBJ
servation there are few SOU faces or
discouraged farmers to be seen, and
while they do not underestimate the eN-
tent of the calamity that it has wrought,
there seems to be Il feeling that it is a
condition that can be circumvented by
intelligent effort and conservative farm
ing.

Increased Price Of Elk Tee,n.

During the last five years the value
OF elk teeth has more than trebled,"
said a western traveller at the Fred
eric, according to the st. Paul Dis
patch. In 1904 you could get any num-
Der OF fine specimens in Idaho, Mon
tana, Washington and bordering states
for $3.50 apiece. Now you will pay
from $3.50 to $40, and they are hard
to get for even that. The Apache,
Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indi-
ans used to have dozens of them in
their possession and traded them for
trinkets. But the redskin got wise to
their value, and you can buy them
from a regular dealer cheaper now
than from the Indian. The passing
Of the elk and the great demand made
by the members of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
price"
The traveller recited an incident Of
an Oklahoman who bought a robe GOV
ered with elk teeth from a Wichita
Indian for 500. He cut off the teeth
and cleaned up $4,000 on the deal.

JACKSON.
Nine Candidates Enter.

The Mississippi legislature convened
at the noon hour Tuesday. All the
members AVE reached the city, and the
allabsorbing subject is the contest for
the nue <pired term of the late United
States Senator A. j. McLaurin.
There is a question of procedure to be
determined by the legislature relative to
taking up the election of a senator,
whether the matter will rest in allegiance
until the second Tuesday after the
meeting. or whether the body will re-
solve itself into a caucus, take informal
ballots as a convention to nominate, and
then. when the second Tuesday arrives,
proceed to ballot officially, which is a
matter that rests with the legislature
itself.
The roster of candidates thus far an
nounced is as follows:
G.. II. Alexander, Jackson.
Leroy Percy, Greenville.
j. X. Vardaman, Jackson.
w. d. Anderson, Tupelo.
Adam Byrd, Philadelphia.
c. C. Dunn, Meridian.
F. A. Critz, West Point.
j. c. Kyle, Batesville.

The Mississippi Orphans Home.

At the Mississippi conference, held in
Brookhaven, the pastors pledged them

raise, within the next six weeks, the
money necessary to meet the conditions

thereby giving a chance, they would
cheerfully meet the requirements.
This institution is located at jackson,
and belongs to the Methodist church, yet
it is a home for all white, destitute
children of Mississippi, regardless OF the
religious belief of their parents. The

A Drama on the Street.

A remarkable coincidence occurred
at San Bernardino, Cal, n day late
ly, whereby a couple about to be d.
vorced were happily brought together
again. Mrs. Walter Preston was on
her way to the court to secure a di-
vorce against her husband when her
little daughter darted in the path of
an onrushing motor car. The moth
er's screams attracted the attention
Of a man who dashed in front of the
machine, seized the little girl and
leaped to safety as the automobile
shot by. The rescuer proved to be the
husband and father. Explanations
were soon made, and the two made
their way to the attorneys office,
where Mrs. Preston tore up the di-
yorce complaint.

The proposition of Gov. Noel relative
to a judicial district o%verhauling or re-
districting, which he deems as a strong
and essential factor in promoting expe-
ditious disposal of litigation and Grim
inal trials, continues to attract attention
and to excite favorable comment. That
the general run of public opinion is with
the governor on this proposition seems
%undoubted, and there is a likelihood
that the legislature will take up the
matter and act as speedily as possible.

Senator Hebron Has a Bill.

Senator J. L. Hebron, president pro-

and will introduce it in the present

TEN of raising revenue. Senator He
bron's bill will provide that all property
in the State, not expressly exempt from
taxation, shall be valued at its actual
cash value, which shall be entered oppo-
site each item and shall be assessed at
rs per cent. of such actual value. The
assessed value shall be entered in a

Will Follow Old Rate.

The service of injunction notices upon
the railroad commission, following the
order of Judge Niles, in the cases argued
before him and submitted to him last
November, restraining the enforcement
of the new rates on cotton, has been
followed by notices from several of the
railroad companies that the new rates
will be ignored and the old rates, which
have been in effect for some time, will be
charged. The railroads have stood by
each other firmly in opposition to the
rates, which they claimed cut their rev.
enues deeply, while at the same time
the representative of the state govern
ment have not s~crupled to increase their
assessment and taxation rate.

Commission Enioined.

The Illinois Central and 4azoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley Railroad Companies have
obtained a temporary injunction against
the Mississippi Railroad Commission, re-
straining them from enforcing the new
rates on compressed cotton. The IN
junction was issued by Judge Henry Z.
Niles, and other roads in the State are
expected to take similar action. The
new rates, should they be enforced,
would mean a reduction of about one
third from existing rates. The differ
ence to the railroads would approximate
a million dollars annually.

Governor Noel issued an executive or

ing made on the authority conferred by
