TO TEST OYSTER
LAWS OF LA.
Mississippi oyster Packers Want to
Fish in Neiehbor
State.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 26.-The oys-
ter packers on the Mississippi coast
have raised a fund to be used in de-
fraying the expense of subjecting the
Louisiana oyster law to a legal test
for the purpose OF ascertaining its
corstitutionality.
The plan has been on foot for some
time, and the packers have raised
about $500 which will be used for
the employment of able counsel. The
fight will be carried to the United
States Supreme Court, if necessary.
The main point in contention is the
right of Mississippi oyster boats TO
take oysters in Louisiana waters.
The railroad commission has re-
ceived a strenouos protest against
the alleged refusal of the Louisville
& Nashville Railway and the South
ern Express Company to accept oys
ter shipments at Gulfport. 1t is
claimed in a message sent to Chair.

cary express shipments will take
aboard only such quantities as can
be loaded at Gulfport during the five
minute period allotted for stop at that
point, and that they will neither pro
vide extra loading facilities or sci
aside special cars to be used for this
i purpose. As a consequence the oys

and dollars during the holiday per

ported.

the cold and rain.
The day in town was quietly OBJ
served practically lines of business
were suspended and very few people
were on the streets Services were
held at several of the churches, and
the city and county public offices

The merchants, while the Christ

have done a good business, consider
ing the disadvantages that have con-
fronted them at this time. An almost
incessant downpour Of rain since the

However, Saturday and Saturday night

SAMUEL 3. SCOTT DISCOVERED
COLD IN DEATH EARLY
THIS MORNING.
NO REASON ASSIGNED FOR ACT
Deceased Was a WeII-Known Figure
In Hsttiesburg.-Had Relatives and
Many Friends Here. Former Home
Porterville, Miss.

Samuel B. Scott, aged 20 years,
committed suicide at about six o'clock
this morning in his room at lis
Hemphin street, by shooting himself
in the heart.
Mr.. Scott has lived here for sew
eral years and until recently had
made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. G. c. Beaumont, who until re-
Gently occupied the house in which
the suicide occurred. Several weeks
ago Mrs. Beaumont removed to East
Pine street. and Mr.. Scott decided to
remain in the house and retained his
room after it was occupied by Mr..
Williams, the present tenant. The
old gentleman was given every priv
ilege of the household and his move
ment for the past few days have been
no different from the every day
routine that he observed. He was
last seen at about eleven o'clock last
night and his actions betrayed moth
ing unusual. He came to his meals
through the day and appeared to be
in the best of spirits. Last night he
was reading a magazine in his room
and appeared to be as well as usual.
None of the occupants O. the house
heard pistol shot and it is thought
that the bullet which ended his life
must have been fired at about six
O'Clock this morning. The body was
cold when discovered and at $50
O'Clock this morning
No reason has ben assigned for the
rash act, and he had mentioned sew
eral times recently of going to Briggs,
Miss, and spend the remainder of his
days with his son at that place, and
is known to have been making ar
rangements to dispose of his property
at this place. The weapon used was
a hammerless Smith & Wesson of 80
calibre which he purchased several
weeks ago, saying at the time that he
needed it on account of having con-
siderable money on his person at that
time. The bullet that caused his
death entered the right temple and
came out just above the left ear. the
bullet being extracted by slight in
cision and the physician states caused
instant death.
The body presented a touching fig
ure as it lay cold in death A vener-
able figure with snow-white hair and
beard, a calm and peaceful expression
upon the face, as if in an untroubled
sleep. with a spirit that was at peace
with its Maker and the world.
Mr.. Scott had been living here for
some time and was well-known. He
owned several of the popcorn stands
and had men in charge of them, form
whence he received a small revenue.
He owned some property and while a
man of a very reticent nature had
made a good many friends.
The following is the inquest rem.
dered by the jury that was empaneled
to investigate the death.
I'VE, the jury appointed to inves
tigate the death Of Samuel B. Scott
find that the deceased came to his
death as the result of a pistol shot
fired by his own hands"
Funeral arrangements have not as
yet been concluded, but is is thought
that the funeral and interment will bs
here.
Besides his daughter, Mrs. Beau
mont at this place, he has a daughtel
at Porterville, and five sons. An eff
fort has been made to reach them.
