Jackson, Miss, February 23.-(Special0 The most interesting matter disposed of by the legislature yesterday was the bill providing that all old servants of Confed- crate soldiers and sailors shall be dropped from the pension roll and which came up again on motion to reconsider This bill was presented by tue chairman of the pension committee, MT. Carothers, last week, and passed by a large ma jority. But several of the members have been hearing from their constituents and found out that the people of the state did not indorse the shutting out of these decrepit old negroes from the ptifu pit tance they are given by the state, about $35 to each, but which in the aggregate amounts to something more than $2O, coo.
 There are 16 Confederate veterans in the house and all but one or two favored the bill, making red hot speeches in it's defense, and abusing the negro who ac- companied his young master during tho war unmercifully, but it developed during the debate that only one of those favor ing the bill had any negro servant in the war and seemed to "have it in" for these of their comrades who did have. ono of them said: For every negro servant you can show me who served his master

Congressman-elect Chas. R. Crisp
returned Yesterday from Shiloh,
where he enjoyed for a day or two
the proceedings of the Friendship

with his numerous friends from

attendance upon the session. Judge
Crisp spent two days in Stewart
county this week, where court is in
session, and will likewise visit 9TH
er counties of the Third district dur

Wherever he has been since his re-

has been given a cordial reception at
the hands of his friends, with con-

His long confinement in Washington
as house parliamentarian during the
recent session of congress precluded
the pleasure now afforded him Of
going over the district renewing old
friendships and making new friends.

DECISIONS OF THE COURT OF AP-

Judges Tire of Case Which Keeps

Returning From COrdele. Can
Carry Pistol at Home.
NTA.-Decision from the
court of appeals are usually more
fruitful of what is commonly called
human interest" than the opinions
coming down from the supreme
court That is due to the fact, per-
haps, that the appellate court deals
with minor cases in which the purely
human comes out oftener. Here are
some out of the ordinary handed
down yesterday:
In a case coming up from Cordele,
Taylor VS.. Fielder, the judges show
that they can grow impatient now
and then over long drawn out litiga
ton. This particular case has been
pending six years, and has been be-
fore the appellate court five times.
Nearly five years ago it set aside the
verdict and Judgment in the defend
ants favor, holding in effect that the
verdict in the plaintiffs favor was
demanded.
1t has had two trials since. At the
second trial the defendant again re-
covered and the trial judge granted
a new trial On the third trial Judge
Crisp directed a verdict for the
plaintiff His successor, Judge Hix-
on, granted the defendant a new
trial. Then, the court says, it read
the record with the utmost care. and
that there was no material variance
in the evidence now-if anything,
stronger now for the plaintiff than
ever. Observes Judge Pottle:
1t is long on pleas and short on
proof in the defendants favor" Then
the court observes, a bit peevishlY:
There was no error in the trial.
This litigation must end. Let the
verdict as directed by Judge Crisp
stand"

The main address of this, Tues
day, evenings session was that of
Baroness Won Suttner, the disciple
of universal peace. The personality
of the baroness was very striking,
typical elderly German woman
struggling for English words with
which to express her thoughts, her
face radiated with her message Of
peace on earth, good will toward
men. She is perhaps one Of the
most distinguished women of mol
ern times, and to hear her was
privilege.
