feave the state in case the Hobbs bill
is passed is a foregone conclusion,
and not bluff by those corporations
Very few of the appropriations bills
have as yet been considered by either
body, but they are being gotten in
shape by the committees, and all ap-
priation and revenue measures
can probably be disposed of within
ten days after they are reached on
the calendars.
At this stage of the proceedings it
looks like there was no element of
economy. The financial budgets are
being whitfield down to the lowest
possible sums, and in a number of
instances meritorious measures have
been adversely reported simply be-
cause the committees feel that the
state cannot at this time afford the
appropriations they carry.

To patronize home merchants is the
correct thing to do, but the home

PATRONlZE HOME MERCHANTS.
There is habit and a delusion
among large number of our peo-
pie to go to some nearby town or
city to shop, believing that they can
purchase cheaper. We think these
good people may be buncoed by their
own thought. Please reckon your car
fare and time, If the latter is worth
anything. If our town merchants try
to soak" you or have not what you
want, of course, you are justified to
go elsewhere. But first find out by
getting prices and see what your
home merchants have.-Selected.-
The foregoing is proper advice and
The Argus gives the sentiment it's
hearty endorsement from the deepest
depth of its newspaperial heart. All
things being equal, 1t is right and

patronize the home merchant and all
home institutions and industries.
Now, this is the rule, or should
be.
But, stop! Didn't some one say:
There is an exception to every rule?
The Argus thinks there is an excep-
ton to the rule, to buy everything
from the home merchant.
Is the citizen in duty bound to buy
from the home merchant, when that
same merchant never invites the citi-

goods and prices? He may invite
some, but the invitation is never

IMPORTANT ACCOUNT OF
RUSSIAN,P PERSIAN CONFLICT

London, Feb. 3.-The American
Consul at Tabriz, Mr.. Gordon Pad
dock, had a decidedly exciting time
during the recent fighting between
Russians and Persians there, accord
ing to letter from an old resident
which has just reached London.
The American Consulate is Just
in the shadow of the old ciadel, pop
ularly called the Ark" The Ark
was one of the principal targets for
the Russian artillery fire, and it was
shelled holly for several days. Many
shells burst over the consulate build
ings and around Mr.. Paddocks house,
but fortunately no one was injured,
and the principal damage was the
destruction of the Flagstaff from which
the stars and stripes were flying.
During ten years in the consular
service Mr.. Paddock has been a
spectator of many interesting events
in far parts of the world. He was
stationed some years at Seoul, in Ko-
rea. and there witnessed the naval
battle when the Russian cruisers
"Variag" and "Korietz" were sunk
by the Japanese at the beginning of
the Russo-Japanese war He saw the
debarkation of the japanese forces;
was afterward at Hardin in the times
when it was unsafe for white man
to venture into the streets after dark
and in Mukden witnessed the most
stirring days of the reconstruction
of Manchuria.

Although he does not pose as the
ladies man of the body, Senator Joe
Norwood of Pike county will go
down in history as the first legislator
Of the commonwealth to propose a
measure comforting office-holding
rights on the fair sex.
The concurrent resolution offered
il the senate yesterday by Senator
Norwood seeking to amend the consti-
tuition by making women eligible for
the office of county superintendent of
education was originally proposed by
the Mississippi Suffrage Association,
and is also approved by Prof. ]. N.
Powers, state superintendent of edu-
cation. The latter would also make
women eligible for trusteeships of
public schools and the state humane,
benevolent and educational institu-
tions.
1t was expected that the Mississip-
pi Suffrage Association would wage a
fight at this session for complete suf-
frage, but the leaders wisely decided
that it would be better to continue
the present work of developing pub
lie sentiment in behalf of their cause,
and secure the reform gradually, just
as the liquor traffic was stamped out
in the state.

Governor Brewers three judicial

Brewer that the innumerable letters,
petitions and recommendations that
food the executive office when judi
cial vacancy is pending are in realty
of little value; that the average per-
son will sign most any sort of petit
ton, so long as it does not cost him
anything to do SO, and frequently he
signs such documents without even
making inquiry concerning their pur-
port.
In the re-apopintment of Judge
John L. Buckley, of the tenth district,
Gov. Brewer also showed that faction
al or political reasons will not con-
troll him in making appointments, and
that a record of efficient service will
always carry weight. Judge Buckley
has made a splendid record on the
bench, and, although he was oppos
ed by Hon. A. B. Amis, one of the
ablest members of the Meridian bar
i Gov. Brewer had no hesitancy in
reaching a decision.
Justice Mclean, who is to be sue
ceeded on the Supreme bench by
Judge Sam Cook, of Clarksdale, will
serve until the expiration of his term
on May 10th. No announcement has
been made as to when Judge Cook
will retire from his duties as circuit
Judge of the eleventh district, to be
succeeded by Hon. T. B. Watkins, but

he also has the reputation of being
the most Thoughtful.
Yesterday was one of Senator
Jacksons days in the Senate. He Of
fered two bills which are the forerun-
ner of steps in the direction of es-
tablishing county libraries through
out the state. His Senate bill No. 246
provides for an appropriation of $500
for the purpose of starting a cam
paign in the interest of public librari-
es in the counties, and Senate bill No.
247 empowers the supervisors of
counties donating $50 for the estab-
lishment of libraries in communities
in which Agricultural High School are
supported.
"These measures are merely for
the purpose of creating an interest in
libraries" said Senator Jackson. "Of
course, I realize that the ,appropria-
lions are small, but if the people of
the state really want libraries they
don't mind getting together and start
ing a fund for them. I sincerely be-
lieve that the bills will create a great
interest in those communities in
which the people are anxious to have
| libraries established"
| The fate of several of the most
| important measures pending in the
Legislature will be known during the
coming week, and indications are that
the two bodies will make good head
way with the work of clearing their
calendars.
Special orders have been fixed for
several of the more notable measures
pending in the house, notably the
elective judiciary movement, the Ap
pellate court bill, and the county
attorney bill
Indications are that the house will
follow the example of the senate and
adopt the Norwood bill retaining the
office of county attorney, with the
referendum clause, making it option
al with the voters of each county
whether the office shall remain in ex-
istence.
The drastic measures aimed at fire
and life insurance companies, seeking
to compel them to invest certain por-
tons of their reserve funds within
the state, are holding the center of
the stage in the senate, despite the
fact that no committee report there
on has yet been submitted. The
charge is now being openly made by
insurance representatives that the eff
feet, If not the intent, of these meas
ures would be to flood Mississippi
with wild cat insurance concerns

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 3.-Senator A.
c. Rowan, of Copiah county, recog-
nized leader of the prohibition forces
in the Senate, does not believe that
the recent decision of the Supreme
court in the Jennie Minter liquor case
will put a damper on the energy of
the police department in prosecuting
blind tigers.
"The decision will have this effect,
it will cause the officers to prosecute
their cases further and get the neces-
sary evidence" said Senator Rowan,
discussing the decision, yesterday. 81
don't think that the decision will
cause falling off of prosecutions. for
there are many other ways by which
the police can get evidence"
Senator Rowan agrees that the
decision will cause the violators of
the law to take wider berth, and
they probably will grow holder, but
in the long run they will be caught.
The Supreme court decided in the
Minter case that the courts must not
accept the mere finding of a cork
screw. whiskey tumbler or other ar
ticle used in the sale of liquor as
prima facie evidence of guilt.
Senator Rowan has succeeded in
getting his bill passed whereby the
court is empowered to increase the
penalty in liquor cases for repetition
of the violation. The committee was
hostile to his other bills and returned
unfavorable reports.
