NOEL MAKES STATEMENT.
Gives Opinion On Validity Of Adoption
Of Amendments.

Jackson.--Gov. Noel gave out the
following interview in reference to the
validity OF the adoption of the consti-
tutional amendment which makes cir
cult judges and chancellors elective:
THE circumstances attending the
adoption of this amendment are alto
gether different from those OF the
amendment adopted In November,
1899, which proposed to make supreme
court judges, as well as circuit judges
and chancellors elective, regulating
their methods of nomination and strik-
ing out five sections of the constitu-
ton and inserting one section in their
place. That amendment received I'll
1863 out of S4,370 votes cast in that
election. The supreme court then held
the amendment was defeated, because
1t failed to receive majority of the
whole vote CASTS, 370-nothing less
than 24,1S5 being a majority. This
ruling settled the case and defeated
the amendment, regardless Of what the
amendments contained, making its con-
tents wholly immaterial, and the re-
marks of the court in regard to them
of no governing weight, merely, what
the law terms, obiter dicta, neither
binding on that court nor on its sue
cessor In this case about four-hfths
of the whole vote cast in the election
was cast in favor of the amendment,
about 10000 for the Amendment to
less than 5000 against 1t.
1.-THE amendment adopted last week
was a substitute for section 1853 OF the
constitution, which provides, The
Judges of the circuit court and OF the
chancery courts shall be appointed by
the governor, with the advice and con-
sent of the senate, and shall hold their
offices for the term of four years The
| amendment merely makes those
Judges elective, instead of appointive,
touching no subject matter not en-
braced in that section, unlike the for
mer amendment which specifically abb
rogated five sections and provided one
section as a substitute for all.

Those who have tried 1t say 1t acts

ELECTIVE JUDICIARY VOID.
Amendment Not Submitted to the
Voters In Proper Form.

Amendment Not Submitted to the
Voters in Proper Form
Jackson. = Many of the foremost
members of the Jackson bar are agreed
in the opinion that the amendment TO
the constitution voted on at the cleo
ton on November 9Th providing for a
change from the appointive to the cleo
tive judiciary system is legally defec-
tive. and will be declared unconstitu-
tional if brought before the supreme
court for review.
1t is the opinion of these lawyers
that the proposition to make circuit
Judges elective should have been sub
mitted In one amendment, and the
proposition to elect chancellors In an
other amendment; that the failure to
do so was violative Of section 27o OF
the constitution which provides that
"where more than one amendment
shall be submitted at one time they
shall be submitted in such manner and
form that the people may vote for or
against each amendment separately.
II is commended that circuit judges
and chancellors are separate and dis
tinct offices, and the supreme court so
held in the case Of State v. Powell,
6Sth Miss. reports, wherein the court
said that "a voter might have chosen
to vote for the election of circuit
Judges, and not for chancellors; and
one may have chosen to vote for the
election of both circuit judges and
not for chancellors and one may have
chosen to vote for the election OF both
circuit judges and chancellors, and yet
not for the election of supreme
judges"
The elimination of supreme judges
from the amendment recently submit
ted. 1t is claimed, does not cure the
defect; that while the amendment as
framed and submitted relates to the
broad subject of the judiciary depart
ment, the functions Of circuit judges
and chancellors are SO separate and
distinct that section 81 was plainly vi
olated when the legislature Jumped the
proposition and incorporated both OH
ces in one amendment.

ackson.-According to Capt. w. E.
Craddock, head of the Craddock Land
& Investment Company, of Terrell.
Texas. who is casting about for OPP
portunities to settle some good, high
class immigrants on the fertile and
productive lands of Mississippi and
adjoining states, he is receiving al
most daily letters of inquiry from
would-be settlers from points further
north and east, from the Ohio valley,
from Pennsylvania, Connecticut and
even Long Island. These letters indi-
cate desire on the part of the writ
ers to try their fortunes in this milder
and more productive cline; some to
engage in general farming, while 9TH
ers would locate for the carrying on
of their trade or avocations. Accord.
ing to his Investigations and expert
ence since coming to Mississippi a few
weeks ago, Capt. Craddock is satisfied
that Mississippi offers as good, If not
better, opportunities to the right class
of immigrants than his adopted state
of Texas, irrespective of the onslaught
of the boil weevil here, with Its thou
sands of acres of arabic land open to
settlement and cultivation.
