COURT OF APPEALS
BILL is DEFEATED

BILL Is DEFEATED
The bill before the. legislature
seeking to establish the Court OF
Appeals with the view of reliev-
ing the congested condition Of
the docket of the Supreme Court,
for the second time was defeated.
The defeat came after the bill was
endorsed by Senator Vardaman
and recommended and urged by
Governor Brewer. y
It is stated that the defeat of
the bill can be charged to the in
fluence exerted against it by the
representatives of south Missis-
sippi. That section is demanding
a constitutional convention for
the purpose of securing great
err amount of the public school
fund and a larger representation
in the legislature.
In reviewing the situation, the
census Of the United States for
1910 places the population of that
territory along the line OF the A.
& V. road and lying south there
of at 663, $50, and that north of
this line at 1.133. 1874, making a
total of 1877. ia. Thus it will
be seen that only about one-third
of the population is south of the
A. & V, road. Nearly seventy
per cent of the land in the state
lies north of the A. & V. road.
The constitution divides the state
into three divisions in apportion-
ing 1t, and gave each division
"a representatives in the legis-
lature, and authorizes the legis-
lature to make a new apportion-
ment whenever it shall be deemed
advisable. This apportionment,
however. could not reduce the
number of representatives of any
of the divisions. With the pop
ulation divided as the census re-
ports show. there would be little
gained by our friends Of South
Mississippi, and the dangers that
lie in revising a constitution
would be too great to take chanc-
es on making new one now.
Political conditions have under
gone a radical change since 1890,
and selfish influences might con-
troll a new body. Only the spirit
of patriotism guided the trainers
of our constitution, (which has
stood the tests of all the Courts,
and we do not feel that it would
be the part of wisdom to tear
down the solid structure which
George, Walthall, and men of
that character constructed. 9th
ar influences might result in Civ
ng us new constitution without .
he merits of the old. +

High Time to Swap Tobacco for
Christmas Money.


Here the 9th day of December,
1912. and not stalk Of Stemming
Association 1912 tobacco sold.
And the same holds true of the
counties on the east side of Green
river type Of tobacco-as far east
a. Warren county and inclusive Of
Warren. To the asst of that cOun-
t. the Green river Pryors, Book,
Little Crittenden and Hangdown
rapidly shade off into a Burley
type.
Rumor has it that a sale is about
closed in Warren for a pool, one
sucker type, of sixteen or eighteen
million pounds. My latest advices
from over there are to the effect
that buyer and seller are haggling
over fraction, but are so near to-
gether a sale is inevitable around
seven cents average.
To the south of us a small
amount Of tobacco has been sold,
last week, on the loose floors at
Hopkinsville. Say sixty thousand
pounds OF tobacco of Indifferent
quality at prices ranging from 81
to S1l. \ few crops, below a top
notch quality, have also b en- sold |
il Christian at from S. to 50 av-
orage. But planters are stoutly |
holding the best crops at from $40
70 SD average in Christian. Quite
sixty per c,nt. OF the crop there is
in the Protective Association.
Further south in the counties on
either side the K ntucky-Tennes-
see boundary line no tobacco,
practically speaking, has been
sold.
Over at Owensboro an offer of
$40, $40 and 81 has been made for
three million pounds of selections.
But the offer was rejected by the
Green River Association. That
Association for the present de-
clines to sill a part of the twenty
odd millions pooled, but has offer
ed all the Association holdings
at from $40 to SO for leaf and Tugs,
and So for trash. Buyers have
unanlm.usly-indeed one lon.
buyer could not have evinced a
more entire agre ment with him
self-declined the offer, but with
like unanimity have rendered a bid
Of from So to 50 for leaf and Jugs
and SIS for trash. And there the
matter hangs And will hang for
many long day on that offer, for
the rank and file of the poolSrs are
resolutely backing the Sales Com
nittee-indeed members in meet
ng assembled have formally mott
led the sales committee that a sale :
below $40, So and S. will fail of
ratification by members. \
