ACTED PART OF HERO
Captain Smith Praised by All Sur
vivors of Titanic Horror.

NiNOTS OF ItdTlC EIOTTO's
New York, April 2O.-The sur
tivors of the Titanic spoke of Cap
tain e. j. Smith as a brave man who
stood calmly ordering his crew and
directing the lowering Of the boats.
Most of them were sure that the cap
tain was drowned and dismissed as
an absurdity the reports that he had
shot himself.
Several of the passengers few
that went down with the ship and
were picked up by the small boats
said that Captain Smith threw him
self overheard just before the broken
ship foundered. He had been on the
bridge up to that time. Then he
walked aft. telling the men near him
that it was time for everybody to
save himself. and jumped into the
sea.
Nobody was able to say whether
the captain deliberately sought death
and refused to be taken aboard a
raft, although some of the crew be-
lieved that was the case. The last
that anybody saw of the captain was
when he was putting child aboard
raft.
The boats were so far separated
when the Titanic foundered that few
had a glimpse of the captain while
he was in the water. Two or ahree
who thought they recognized Captain
Smith say that he was apparently
exhausted and sank before he could
struggle to boat.

WILSON SHOULD
BE THE NOMINEE
Hon. D. M. Watkins Gives Reasons
Why the New Jersey Executive
Should Be Chosen.

Being asked for his opinion as to
who should be nominated as a can
didate for President by the Demo
cratic party, Hon. d. M. Watkins
makes this statement:
There is no question as it appears
to my mind who should be nominated
as the standard bearer by the Democ-
racy of this nation for the Presidency.
Governor Woodrow Wilson is the man
of the hour His principles and poll
cies are approved by the great mass
of American citizens, and over-topping
all considerations in this connection,
he is the available mantle one who
would get the vote of the North and
West, and that is what we need; of
course any good southern man would
carry the South, but what is needed
is the electoral vote of the states Of
the North and West. The office of
President of the United States is now
in easy reach of the Democratic par
ty; there should be no mistake in its
nominee; we cannot afford to take
chances. Let us nominate man who
will be elected"

COURT REVERSES
FORMER OPINION
Holds That Court Cannot Suspend
Punishment Afte Imposing
Sentence.

Jackson, Miss, March 12.-In the
list of opinions handed down yester-
day morning by the Supreme court
was one upon which depended the exc
cution of sentence in approximately
one hundred cases in the State where
Judges have suspended imprisonment
after passing sentence, and which has
been subject of much discussion and
exceptional interest among those of the
legal profession in Mississippi, name
ly, Chas. Fuller VS.. State In the opin-
ion handed down by Judge Sidney
Smith, the suggestion of error enter
ed by Attorney Burch and Stricken,
was overruled insofar as related TO the
actual punishment of the accused.
Charles Fuller, a white man, was
convicted in the Circuit Court Of the
First District of Kinds county for un-
lawful retailing; punishment was fixed
by the court, but execution OF the SEN
tence suspended under promise Of good
behavior.
Later, counsel for the defense, to re-
move the sentence from hanging over
the defendants head. appealed to the
Supreme Court, which upheld the low
er court.
A suggestion of error was then filed
suggesting that the court had confused
the question Of a courts power to sus-
pend the execution of sentence.
The court in its decision yesterday
reversed its former opinion as to the
power Of the court to suspend execu-
tion of sentence after it has been i'm
posed, but ruled that this should not
prevent the punishment of the ap-
pellant as he could have taken into
custody at any time.

MANY new TAXES LEVIED
Have Escaped Paying a Privilege
Tax-Tax Mill Will Remain At Six
And One-Half.

Jackson, Miss, March 12.-The leg
islature opened the day yesterday by
starting at work and has been at it
with short intermissions for meals.
The effort is to wind up and get away
Saturday. 1t looks now like the work
will be in such shape that adjourn
ment may be had then.
The senate has chiefly been occu-
pied passing the ways and means
appropriation bills originating in the
house. The latter has been passing
bills. Both houses are working un-
der Saturdays date yet, taking recess
es instead of adjourning, in order that
there may be no question about any
of the appropriation bills, which re-
quire to be passed five full days before
adjournment sine die.
In the house the chief question was
the matter of the ad valorem tax
levy. For a while the members were
nearly paralyzed with fright at the
idea of voting the half-mill increase
provided for in House Bill 78S. 1t has
developed that this legisletur came
in facing deficit of $525 900 and some
members were in favor of raising the
levy mill and half and wiping the
deficit out. The idea of raising taxes
was abhorrent though, and the prop
osition was lodged by leaving the ad
yalorem levy at six mills and authoriz-
ing the governor to borrow $4,000
each year, or so much thereof as is
necessary to tide the state over. il he
ing believed that the increase in taxes
on occupations heretofore not taxed
Will help bring the treasury back to a
