Sivley Case Reversed.

While there We're quite number of
decisions handed down in the supreme
court Monday, the most interesting from
a general viewpoint was that deciding
the somewhat celebrated Sivley VS.. Siv-
ley case, appealed from Newton county
circuit court, which was reversed. This
was the damage suit brought by Mrs.
Mamie DuPriest Sivley VS.. Mrs. w.
Baker Sivley, her mother-in-law, for the
sum of $50,000 as pecuniary compen-
sation for the alleged alienation of the
affections of her husband, the young
son of the defendant below. The suit
was filed in Newton county, where the
younger Sivley and relatives of his wife
had resided, though the home of the
elder Sivleys is in Kinds county. After
a long and somewhat sensational trial
the jury rendered IA Judgment for $780,
600, and assigning numerous erron the
case was promptly appealed.

Rare Remedies.

In some parts of England the ma.
tives say the best way to cure a stiff
neck is. to wrap live snake about it.
In some of the Hebrides islands great
faith is had in perforated, water-worn
stones called snake stones.' These
are dipped in tepid water, which ia
then given to cattle which have been
bitten by snakes. II no stone can be
obtained the head of an adder dipped
in the water gives just as good results.
An cells skin worn as garter
around the naked leg is fine proven.
tive of cramps, and in some localities
It is equally good as bandage for a
sprained limb.

Don't Want New County.

Since Governor Noel has authorized
the creation of new county to be made
from Pike and Marion, the people OF
that section have been preparing to
fight the measure. The people of Mar
ion county have twice shared their ter
ritory to form sister counties, once to
create Pearl River and again to make
Lamar. Now that they are called upon
to give up one of the richest sections,
they are somewhat reluctant to see more
of their territory go without a struggle.
The proposed plan is to form the new
county from the eastern portion of Pike
and the western part of Marion. The
area of Pike is rs square miles and
that of Marion 675. Out of these coun-
ties it is proposed to take 296 square
miles from Pike and 10s from Marion,
thereby forming new county of 4o4
square miles.

Markham Gives Planters Advice.


Markham Gives Planters Advice.
l.. A. Markham, special agent of the
United States department of agriculture,
in charge of experimental farm work in
the Delta, is sending out the following
letter to demonstrators in his district:
'Dear Sir-Before planting time, at
tend to all poorly drained parts of the
field. Try making your lateral bitches
with a road machine and drag scrapers.
Make the ditch shallow and compare
lively broad so that the pillow team can
be driven across it, and the water can
flow freely into it. Prepare the land
thoughly. The corn land should have
been broken deep last fall, but deep
breaking at this time is not advisable.
Harrow the land until it is thoroughly
pulverized; then plant the corn on ridges
unless it is unusually well drained. Do
not plart in the water furrow on any
kind of land at this time of the year.
In bedding for cotton, be sure and do
not make the rows too narrow. The
best rule, perhaps, is to lay off the rows
about as wide as the cotton stalks grow
tall. This will prevent the interlocking
of the plants in the middles and the
consequent shutting out of the vitalizing
sunshine. Plant the best seed of both
cotton and corn-seed that is known to
be sound, and of the best variety pro-
durable. If your stock of seed is begin
ming to run down. it will pay you to
purchase a few bushels of pure seed to
plant a breeding patch. This should be
large enough to furnish sufficient seed to
plant the entire plantation next year.
The most intimate of relations subsist
between the plant and the seed it springs
from, and no amount of work or expense
can produce the best results from poor
seed. There is no particular variety of
corn or cotton that possesses all the
merits, but there are a few varieties
that have so much in their favor that
desire to make special mention of them.
Those of cotton are the Cleveland Big
Boil, Mebane Triumph, Simpkins' Pro-
life and Columbia"

Expects Big Crops.

Col. Leroy Taylor, chairman of the
penitentiary board Of trustees, reports
that planting preparations are well adj
vanced at all the state farms, and even
with the adverse working weather, the
condition Of the ground is ahead of last
year at this time by considerable, and
there is nothing that can prevent, SO far
as human understanding can foresee, the
turning out of magnificent crop of
corn, giving all that the state will need,
and probably an excess to dispose Of as a
marketable commodity.

Senate Gets BUSY,


Indicating the temper of the senators,
which is to get through with the work
in hand and abjure the tempting junk
citing projects, that body Wednesday
promptly turned down resolution,
adopted by the house by good major
ity, providing that the legislature go ON
trip of inspection TO the two state col
leges for whites and the university, the
vote against in the senate being proper
tionately as great as the affirmative
vote in the house. The senate at its aft
ernoon session took up, debated and
passed the bill for support, maintenance
and improvements at the Mississippi
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
adopting al 1.-THE committee amendments,
which trimmed the measure down by
about 1926, 1000, leaving the total appro-
priation at $2S0,500. The senate also
passed, after more than two days of
wrangling, the Mcdowell county attor-
ney bill, which goes to the house for
such treatment as may await it, both
in committee and on the floor. The sem
ate also passed the house bill to amend
the Tallahatchie drainage district act
of 1908 so as to refer the question of a
bond issue back to the qualified voters
OF the district affected.

Constitutional Bill Opposed.

While there is an abundance Of senti.
ment favoring the proposed constitu.
tional convention bill which is now pend
ing in the legislature, the opinion from
that viewpoint is not unanimous, and
there are those who are not sure that
the people are ready for the change.
Among these is Senator II. X. Mahon,
chairman of the senate committee on
constitution, who discusses the question
from an unbiased and impartial view
point. Speaking OF the matter, Senator
Mahon said:
There is a bill before our commit
tee proposing call for constitutional
convention, but this being a proposed
statute law and not resolution pro-
posing to change the constitution, | am
of the opinion that it is not a subject
for our consideration without a recon-
mendation from the governor. Not only
that, but don't believe that there is
sufficient demand from the people for a
constitutional convention at this session
of the legislature.
"The constitution should be amended
so as to conform to the changing condi-
tions, but we should make an effort to
make these changes by submitting
amendments to the people.
These suggested changes are receiv-
ing our careful consideration, but if they
are not submitted, as | suggested two
years ago, let the subject of a constitu-
tional convention be discussed in the
state campaign next year, so that they
may be better understood by the people,
and believe the majority of them may
be relied upon to consider the matter
without passion and dispose OF it intelli-
gently"

Accidentally Shoots Himself.

Joseph f. Ramsey, cashier of the

the most valued young employees OF that

Nevada
Following so close upon the mar
riage of the sculptor's divorced wife,
painter who has won prizes in the
Paris salon, to William H. Low, one of
Americas foremost mural decorators,
this wedding is a sort Of second
climax to this drama of art and hearts.
Mr.. MacMonnies and Miss Jones are
about to be married in Rome. Mr..
Low and Mrs. MacMonnies were mar
ried in Paris last November.
The MacMonnies romance antedates
the Paris exposition of 1882 From
the Art Students league and Saint
Gaudens' studio in New York. Fred
erick- AacMonnies, who was born in
Brooklyn in 1863, went to Paris to
study in the ateliers of Falguiere and
MERCER. Rich in talent, poor in purse,
in the full flush of youth and health
and of striking blond beauty, his was
the JOY of life when he met Mary
Fairchild in the American colony in
the Latin quarter This charming
girl, of New England birth, bent upon
becoming a great painter, was no rich
err or poorer than her sculptor lover
Hers was the dusky, gypsy type of
beauty From New Hampshire in
carly childhood she had gone with her
parents to New Orleans and thence
to ST. Louis. Talent for art devel-
oped early. Having no money to pur-
sue its study, she enrolled in the
free night school of the st. Louis Art
museum The first year she captured
all the prizes. This uncommon feat
attracted the attention of the director,
and Mary Fairchild was soon en-
ployed as a teacher in the museums
day school, A scholarship sent her to
Paris.
Happy Pair, Though Poor.
In the love of the handsome blond
sculptor Mary Fairchild's dreams
came true They married on nothing
and the world was theirs Too poor
to pay admission to the Paris exposi
ton of 1889, the young couple enjoyed
the Eiffel tower and the illuminations
from the grass plat outside the gates,
lunching on the hard-boiled eggs the
happy young wife prepared in their
studio nest In the Latin quarter. In
this Arcadia Albert Wolff, Figaro's
famous art critic, found them. Struck
by their picturesque youth and prime
val abandon, ignorant of their names
or aspirations, he gave them several
paragraphs in descriptive article of
the exposition, and this was widely
quoted by French journals. Three
years later rsacMonnies was famous,
his colossal fountain with 81 figures
at the Worlds Columbian exposition,
the masterpiece of the White City.

prize at the Paris exposition Of 1900,
followed In quick succession.
Mrs. MacMonnies' brush kept pace
with the sculptor's chisel, her paint
ings winning prizes at exhibitions mere
and abroad including the Paris salon.
With rise of fortune the artist lovers
went to Giverny. tho home of Monet,

Made Giverny Famous.
Giverny is hamlet of some $50 In
habitants, struggling along an I'M
shaded road on the edge of Normandy.
The first American painter to invade
Giverny was the late Theodore Robin
son. In his trail came troop of
American amazons, who overran and
at one time threatened the artistic
death of Giverny With the passing
of this American invasion came the
MacMonnieses. The sculptor bought
q picturesque old monastery, which
his consummate art and taste convert
ed into an ideal studio home. It's ter
race garden and fountain, with its
single tiny spray falling unsteady into
a flower-encircled basin, is famous
throughout France. 1t set the pace
for every garden In Giverny, it
bloomed from salon canvases and was
the subject of magazine article from
the pen Of William II. Low. There Is
a white balustrade overlooking the
fountain and there are walks bordered
with white and red geraniums, Mrs.
MacMonnies' favorite flower, and
gorgeous beds Of dahlias. The ballus-
trade is decorated with miniature
replicas of MacMonnies' most famous
statues, including the Bacchanal that
was rejected by the Boston public Ii
brary as immoral, only to be given a
place of honor in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and the museum of
the BROOKLYN institute.

Giverny has fewer than fifty rented
houses. Boudy inn houses the timer
ate artist. the only wayfarer who tar
ries in the village. To this inn some
four or five summers ago came Miss
Alice Jones. Miss Jones' artistic life
began In Paris with vocal study, which
she abandoned for sculpture. After
studying in several Paris studios, she
came to Mr.. MacMonnies. To the
latter's genius she Immediately sue
cumbed. declaring everywhere that he
was the equal if not the superior of
Michelangelo.
Being the daughter of great wealth,
Miss Jones bought farmhouse, which
she converted into studio, pursuing
her studies under Mr.. MacMonnies'
instruction. Miss Jones is fond of
outdoor sport, excelling in tennis and
fencing She was the only woman in
Giverny who attended the fencing
club. Mr.. MacMonnies is an expert
fencer. Physically Miss Jones is petite,
with beautiful dark hair and eyes. Alb

her auditors and rarely fails. Mrs.
MacMonnies. always the gracious
hostess, frequently entertained Misc
