Jackson.-Despite the new statute pro.

or engaging In agricultural pursuits in
Mississippi, the organization of stock
companies with this end in view steadily
continues, and it is expected that there
will be a large number of charters of
this character presented to the governor
for approval before the statute becomes
effective in October.
That Gov. Brewer will continue to an.
prove all charters of this character. de-.
spite the ~unfavorable attitude of the at.
torney.general, is a foregone conclusion.
Several charters of this kind have been
given gubernatorial approval recently,
In spite OF the attorney-general's deter.
mlnation to prevent their issuance. Gov.
Brewer takes the position that he can.
not consider a law that is not vet in
effect, and so long as the charters do not
violate the provisions of any statutes
now in existence, he will continue to ar
prove them.
