Conspicuous among the State cases

with death sentences accompanying,
both OF which were sustained. Justice

Justice Smith also handed down .

SOME CHARTERS REFUSED.
Two First Victims Of Anti-Farming Law
Are From Adams.

Jackson.-A bunch of charters that
have been submitted to the governor and
attorney generals office for approval
have run afoui of various and sundry
provisions of the law and the law itself.
In the first place the Dunleith Planta-
tion company, capitalized at $4,000 and
located in Adams county, at Natchez, is
contrary to the provisions of Senate Bill
41o, the ant~i-corporation law which per-
mits the organization of no more plan
ftatian companies in the state to engage
in the business Of agriculture.
The same Is true of the Selma Plant
ing company, capitalized at $4,000 and
located in Adams county. These are the
two first victims Of the new law, and
-nnot be organized at all, even if they
S.re started. before the law went into
effect.
Then the Pike County Mutual Ben
evolent Association was found, on ex.
animation, to be largely a land trading
company and this charter has been dis
approved because no capital stock has
been named, which is necessary, as it is
q concern to be operated for the profit
OF its members.

senior United States senator from Ten

His soul took its flight at S:4o o'clock
Sunday morning at Providence Hospital,
where an operation for gallstoncs was
performed Thursday morning. Death
stilled his good and noble heart in a
room which overlooked a little park
whose reviving symbols OF life and resur-
rection and message OF gladness to man
kind was wont to interpret in eloquent
tongue.
For three days he has looked with
dimming eyes upon that little square

and bursting buds are in joyous response
to the warmth of springs sunshine. 1t
was an ideal day-just such n day that

was a glorious day for Our Bob" to
take final leave of n world into which
he has poured a wealth of cheer and
happiness and sunshine. 1t was rs if
God had mercifully given his genial soul
as an escort the tender beauties of An
ideal spring day. There is n reverent
suggestion of the eternal fitness Of
things for Bob Taylor to pass from
earth amid the ~splendors of a perfect
day, for his buoyant and happy spirit
to return to its Maker on the breath Of
q glorious morning.
Senator Taylor began to sink follow
ing the operation Thursday morning,
lapsing into Inconsistencies at 3 o'clock
Sunday morning, and he passed away
without having regained consciousness
even for a moment.
There were present at the bedside
when the final came, Mrs.
Taylor, worn and wan, from a racking
vigil of three days and nights; her
brother, Charles st. John, OF Virginia;
Mrs. Sam b. Williamson, a lifelong
friend of the Taylor family, and DIR.
Harrison Crook. Mrs. Taylor is so IN.
nerved from the shock of her overwhelm-
ing grief hat she is under medical care
at the hospital.
Senator Luke Lea, junior member OF
the senate from Tennessee, was at the
hospital throughout the night.
Senator Taylor was subject to these
attacks, each recurring one leaving him
weaker for another. Shortly before his
departure from Nashville about six
weeks ago, whittier he went to discuss
his impending campaign with friends,
Senator Taylor was stricken with a
comparatively mild attack of his old
trouble. He responded &c treatment in
a week or ten days, but he never re-
gained his wonted health. To friends
who talked to him about his malady.
Senator Taylor would impress his own
disturbing realization of his condition.
He seemed to have premonitions of the
possibility Of its fatal termination. The
vague and dark foreboding naturally
found expressions in ways that attract
ed attention and some of his more init.
mate friends were panied to remark that
his conversation and manner had lost
something of their old-time flavor and
piquancy.

Is headed by Gen. Charles Scott, of Rose

the Mississippi veterans who have

has on deposit and drawing interest for
this purpose the sum of $7,501.6O, which
is $1.6e above the mark necessary to at
tain in order to secure the donation of
$500 made by the legislature.
With this money in hand, the further
ance of the object of all this unselfisb

devoted men and women, from now on
will be a matter of detail. The culmina-
ton of all these efforts will be manifest
ed on June 3, next, when the cornerstone
which is to go in the pedestal will be
laid with proper ceremonies.
The following was issued which speaks
for itself:
The Kinds county committee appoint
