MISSISSIPPI TO MAKE EXHIBIT
Magnificent Display at Chicago Land
Show, at Omaha Exposition and
at Washington.

Jaekson.-Mississippi il getting
move on herself, and is preparing TO
make the lonesome cut-over pine lands
of South Mississippi blossom with wav-
ing fields, and return a largess of ripened
crops. She is going to make Central
Mississippi rich with diversified farming
and stock raising, and North Mississippi
with good stock and alfalfa and all the
concomitants of progressive farms, well
titled, fortified with brains and worked
with energy.
In other words, we are going out after
some sure enough folks who can sure
enough do things; who have got 80 much
energy that they do not care to be snow
bound and frost bound five or more
months in the year, inactive and at a
standstill. We want them to come to
Mississippi, where they can grow most
things nine months in the year and have
only three months of winter-and the
way to get those people is to go after
them.
So the first time in the history OF
Mississippi she has made an entry in
the great Chicago Land Show, that has
done more in the way of settling the
West and the Northwest than any other
agencies, except the railroads. Missis-
sippi is right there in the midst of those
states, and will make . showing that is
going to open the eyes of those people.
This exposition of our is
under the auspices of the Mississippi
Land Development Association, who have
nothing to sell, no interest for any par
ticular section, and are playing no favor
ties. 1t is boosting Mississippi for the
sake of all Mississippians.
The Mississippi exhibit at the land
show will be a matter of pride for the
state and will undoubtedly result in
great good and in interesting a great
many people and assist in turning the
tide of immigration this way.
Now that the fever of advertising has
struck the state some of the patriotic
and enterprising citizens of jackson
thought it would be a good idea to send
an exhibit to the Omaha Exposition
and for the first time the great North
west is invaded by Mississippi in her
quest for future Mississippians. We have
more than the Northwest has to offer,
and great as its advantages are, those
Of Mississippi are greater. There are
good citizens in that region who are
tired of fighting drouth In summer and
dreadful cold in winter. They want TO
get where the sun smiles most of the
time-and Mississippi will put her invt
tation there.
Through Maj. R.rw. Millsaps Of Jack
son, space has been rented in the per-
manent Southern exhibition building at
Washington, and it is designed that as
soon as the Chicago Land Show closes,
the entire exhibit together with such
other additions as may be made, will be
transferred to the national capital, there
to be a permanent showing to the thou
sands of visitors who 60 through the
building every week, of what the grand
old state of Mississippi has to offer to
homeseekers and with what bounteous
generosity she rewards her diligent chill

PATHETIC SCENE IN HOUSE.
Speaker Street Receives News Of Sud-
den Death of His Son.

uCh DNoth Va AAAo SOhs
Jackson.-A touch of pathos was
given to the session of the house of rep
resentativcs at noon Wednesday when
Representative Stennis, speaking from
the floor of the house, announced that
Albert j. Street, the youngest son Of
Speaker Street, had dropped dead on
the sidewalk in Chicago. The II
ment brought the session of the house
to q dramatic climax, and sent Il shadow
of gloom throughout the legislative
halls.
The news was conveyed to Speaker
Street by MIR. I. N. Walker, u close and
intimate friend Of the family, who was
notified Of the sad occurrence in a tele-
gram from the home of Speaker Street.
The venerable and beloved old leader
of the house was presiding over the
session when he was called into his Of
fee to receive the news.
Il have just received word from home
that your son Chalie is dying" Mr..
Walker informed Speaker Street.
A number Of friends of the speaker
gathered in his office, having received
the news upon the arrival of Mr.. Wal
ker. The Jews was q severe shock to
Speaker Street, but he managed to bear
up, and when he had sufficiently recov-
cred he was informed that his boy vas
dead.
Great tears flooded the eyes of the
venerable statesman from Meridian, and
his friends assisted him to a chair. lie
asked for further details but was in
formed that there was nothing aside
from the fact that his son had sue
cumbed on the street, presumably from
an attack of heart failure.

Adopted without dissent.

MIR. Burkitt offered as al amendment
that the transportation item be reduced
to one dollar. Lost.
There was an inquiry from Mr.. Stem
mis- as to how it happened that the Of
ficers drew such an excessive amount.
Mr.. Cavett read the law on the sub
jet OF pay. Said the men had been
called out by the governor and were
due their pay, but the legislature could
take steps to prevent any such cxtrav-
agancc in officers pay if there had been
extravaganza in the future, that the
force had already been reduced to a
minimum and there could be no criti-
cism of the sort in the future.
He then called the previous question,
and the roll was called. The bill passed
by u vote of so to IL.

and was adopted by said association ~
a accommodation to the Legislature, and
il Is as follows:
"Fifth-Wc suggest that section 1908,
Of the code Of 1906, ought TO be amend
ed by adding the crime Of bribery be
lore the words gambling to gaming in
the fifth line OF said section. And th1s
section ought to be further amended
by providing that no witnesses shall
have the immunity provided by the
section, except = witness who Is either
summoned by an order Of the court en-
tered upon the minutes Of the court, or
who refuses to testify and is given such
immunity for 50 testifying before the
grand jury, by an order Of the court en-
tered upon its minutes.
"Sixth-We suggest that section 1906,
of the code of 1906, ought to be amend
ed by adding after the word in the Sec
ond line of said section, upon the trial,
the words or investigation before the
grand jury These last two amendments
TO sections 1905 and 1906 are neces-
sary, we think, for the discovery OF the
crime Of bribery before the courts, mas
much a. immunity is only given the
witness if he t~cstifies on the trial and
not if he %testilies and discloses the
crime before the grand jury.
"Seventh-We suggest that section
14l4 of the code Of 1906 be amended
by adding the crime bribery to the
exceptions in said statute in place OF tho
word larceny There is no earthly rea-
son why the statute Of limitation, we
think, should apply to bribery as it does
