LEES NATAL DAY
Being OBSERVED

The birthday of the Southland s
greatest soldier, Gen. Robert E. Lee,
is being generally observed in Missis-
sippi today. At the last legislative
session the event was made state
holiday, and throughout the common
wealth banking institutions remained
closed today, and many forms of busl-
ness were suspended.
AT large number of points public
exercises were held under the auspices
of local Confederate organizations,
and prominent speakers paid tributes
to the life and character of the great
Confederate chieftain.
The observance in the public schools
was also quite general, and literary
selections read to the pupils touching
on incidents in Gen. Lees life

Borah, the former chairman of the
special congressional committee

bribery employed in the selection of
Lorimer, defended the committee re-

Borah contended the evidence prov

employed and that Lorimer should
not be permitted to retain his seat.
The house devoted the entire day
to consideration of the Moon bill and
codification of the laws relating to
the judiciary.
Both branches of congress met at
noon today.

MERIDIAN FANS
NOT ENTHUSIASTIC

Meridian, Miss, Jan. 19.-Chances
for Meridian being a member of the
Cotton States League for the coming
season seem TO become smaller as the
time draws near.
An effort to arouse enthusiasm on
the part of local fans seems to have
failed, as a mass meeting was called
Monday night to arrange the local as
sociation and only two or three put in
an appearance.
Nothing has been done towards the
financial end for the team, and from
the present outlook the franchise will
go begging, in which case Greenville
who was anxious to join the circuit
at the meeting of the league repre-
sentatives in Jackson, will more thar
likely get the berth.
From all appearances baseball Is Z
dead issue in this city, owing to the
rotten sport afforded last year.

none TO TESTIFY
in This MIXUP
Up by Dismissal in
Court.

Jackson, Miss, Jan, 19.-The prom
ised sensation in pistol duel case
before Police Justice Manship wound
up yesterday by all parties being dis
missed. Each refused to testify on
the ground that he would incriminate
himself.
Last Saturday NJ. F. Doherty, agent
of the Oliver Plow Company and CT.
Downer, a hardware travelling sales
man, engaged in a pistol duel in
Dougherty's home. Downer was shot
in the hand and Dougherty in the head.
Downers first account of the affair was
that he was in the parlor talking to
Mrs. Dougherty when the husband
walked in and fired on him. Downer
later claimed he caught the pistol and
turned it on Dougherty, the shot taking
effect in the head.
The parties refused to tell more OF
the case, and the matter is now up to
the grand jury.

OF The SEVERAL REvis!oNs

VARIOUS VERSIONS DISCUSSED
interesting Address by Leader OF The
Baptist Bible Institute
Last Night.
VARIOUS VERSIONS DISCUSSED

At the Bible Institute last night,
clearly and briefly, DR.. ]. t. Christian,
of Little Rock, Ark, sketched the his
tory, the origin and influence of the
English Bible telling of the periods
that brought forth each revision, what
the condition of affairs was at the
time, etc.
He has discussed many broad sub
jects while here, but this was the
broadest-as DR.. Christian himself
elooquently expressed it "as broad as
the world, rooted in creation. and its
topmost boughs reaching to the
heavens. 1t includes all sunsets and
all sunrises; all promises and all full
fillment; death and life. To speak on
the English Bible is like speaking on
English history, for there is no phase
of English life that is not somehow
connected with the English Bible. The
production OF the English Bible has
laid tributary every civilized land in
every period of it's history
Dr. Christian told of the dark ages,
when the Bible was locked UP in the
monasteries and colleges; when men
often could mot write or read; days
when Gods word did not prevail. The
Roman Catholic church would not al
low the people to read the Bible
"Some people call the Roman Catholic
church the depository of Gods word
but if they were, they have never
circulated it." He described the diff
ficulties which John Wickliff, who gave
the first translation to the world, had
to withstand. How he had no printing

The increase in real estate deals in
Forrest county during the past few
weeks is marked, and Clerk Gillis is
kept pretty busy in Chancery Clerk
Batsons office transcribing the nu-
merous deals. The majority of the
deals recently have been for
small tracts of land in the
increasing interest in farming, and real
estate men say this interest is empha-
sized by the great number of inquiries
they are receiving for small farms,
particularly close to Hattiesburg. But
the dealing in Hattiesburg property
is also showing considerable activity,
and a good feature is that most of
the sales made recently have been for

Jackson, Miss, Jan. ia special

tains the contention of State Treas
urer George R. Edwards that he has
no legal right to pay deferred interest
on the state bond issue of 100000
that accumulated between July 1st,
1910, and Jan. 1st of the current year.
Governor Noel has stated to several
callers at the executive office within
the past twenty-four hours that he is
convinced that the states financial
credit is vitality involved in the litiga-
ton, and he intends to have it pre-,
served at all hazards; that, while
would regret very much the neces
of convening the legislature in spe
session, he sees no alternative in

holds that the technical objec

effect that sale of bonds with accumii-

below par, is well grounded in law,
then he will issue call for the legis-

the understanding that it would be re-

BUT LATTER'S FRIENDS SAY NOT

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 19.-Friends of
Governor Noel attribute the present
ntlgatlon over state bonds to the per-
sonal enmity of the state treasurer for
the chief executive of the state They
declare that he could, by a word, have
averted this litigation and saved the
credit of the state. which, they claim,
has been destroyed by the present
controversy and alleged reputation of
interest coupons.
The entente cordiale has never ex-
listed between the Governor and state
treasurer. 1t is a personal difference,
in which, it is alleged, the treasurer
took advantage of an unusual situation
10 secure revenge on the Governor
Whether this is true, is a matter of
dispute, as the friends Of the state
treasurer tell an entirely different
story.
Mr. Edwards friends declare there
was no other course for him to pursue;
that he had to protect his bondsmen,
and the only way for him to do it was
to repudiate or refuse to pay the In
terest on the bonds from July 1, 1910,
to Jan. l, 1911.
The Governors friends reply to this
claim by saying that if Mr.. Edwards,
who was made member of the bond
commission by the act authorizing the
issue of bonds, had even intimated to
the Governor and State Auditor Smith
that ne would not pay the interest
accrued on the bonds, that the Cover
nor would have called an extra ses'

matter long ago that the matter would
never have reached the point of litiga'
