BILLS STOLEN FROM SENATE.
Bill Forbidding Corporations Holding
Lands Had Enemies.

There was a sensation at the capitol
when it was discovered that house bill
No. 800, known as the corporate land
holding bill, had been stolen from the
files of the senate. The bill passed the
house about two weeks ago and was
reorted favorably to the senate. 1t was
placed in a filing case in the office Of
the secretary of state. to await its turn
on the senate calendar.
When some of the senators went TO
the filing case to take the bill out for
assignment on the senate calendar it
was discovered that the bill had been alb
stracted.
The discovery of the theft created a
great commotion around the senate end
of the capitol. Diligent search was made
for the bill, but no trace Of it could be
found. The bill which has disappeared
prohibits corporations from holding o.
owning land in the state for agriculture
or farming purposes. 1t has been bit
terly fought from the time it was intro
duced in the house.

Dispose of Many Measures.

Two more of the appropriation bills
completed their final legislative stages
Friday. They were the house bills ap-
p%ropriating $1,000 for the state libary
and $4,000 for the use of the state
summer normals. The senate killed the
house bill imposing a tax of $40 a year
on each physician and surgeon in the
state. The McLaurin bill to abolish
the fellow.servant rule of action in dam
age suits was passed by the senate. The
three drainage bills, designed to settle
the controversy in the Tallahatchie drain
age district, were passed by the senate
without opposition. The bills have
passed the house, and this completes
their legislative journey. The signature
of the governor will make them laws.

Evil Of Idleness.

Work develops all the good there Is
in a man; idleness all the evil. Work
sharpens all his faculties and makes
him thrifty; idleness makes him lazy
and a sp%endthrift. Work surrounds
a man with those whose habits are
industrious and honest; in such So
ciety a weak man develops strength,
and a strong man is made stronger.
%Idleness, on the other hand, is apt to
