KILLS HOBBS INSURANCE BILL
WOULD HAVE REQUIRED INVEST
MENT IN STATE SECURITIES.
University Authorities Mildly Criticized
1850 for Monument to Con-
federate Women.

Jacksonville Hobbs bill, requiring
life insurance companies to invest rs
per cent of the legal reserve in Missis-
sippi securities, went down to defeat in
the senate Friday. 1t was opposed by
che life insurance interests and was Bit
terIy fought. The bill came from the
committee with favorable report.
The reports of the senate and house
committees on universities and colleges
on the result of the investigation of the
State University at Oxford were pre-
sented to each house. The senat com.
mittee's report was favorable to the
present management of the university.
The house committee submitted a ma
1ority and a minority report. The ma
5erity report criticized in mild way
some of the acts of the university au-
thorities.
The house bill appropriating $1,000 as
a supplemental school fund was passed.
This IS intended as a test of the school
provision of the constitution. The bill
provides that the money shall be placed
In the treasury and paid to the counties
where it is needed on an order from the
state superintendent of education. II
the courts hold that the act is constitu
tionai, it will solve one of the school
problems of the state. If the act is held
valid. future Legislatures will increase
che appropriation. The bill creating a
commission to select site for a Mis-
sissippi building at the San Francisco
exposition was passed by the senate.
4 The senate passed the house bill APP
propriating $500 for monument tc
tho women of the Confederacy, to b.
erected in front Of the state capitol

Deaf and Dumb Investigation.

The committee appointed to investi-
gate the Deaf and Dumb Institute re-
ported as follows: That said institution
has been wisely, economically and eff
oiently administered, and that the evil
deuce proves conclusively that the SUI
Perintendent and board of trustees have
been remarkably efficient and painstals-
eng in the discharge of their respective
duties. We, therefore, commend him
and them, and characterize as utterly
frivolous and unfounded the charges of
extravaganza and mismanagement which
<his committee was called upon to in
1estigate.

HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

about two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed, the
skin would scale off, and the good
flesh would burn and itch dreadfully.
When my hands first started to get
sore, there were small blisters like wa
ter blisters which formed. They
itched dreadfully, It just seemed as
though 1 could tear the skin all off.
would scratch them and the skin would
peel off, and the flesh would be all
red and crack open and bleed. 1t wor-
ried me very much, as l had never
had anything the matter with my skin.
l was SO afraid I would have to give
up my employment.
my doctor said he didn't think 1t
would amount to anything. But it kept
getting worse. One day saw piece
in one of the papers about lady who
had the same trouble with her hands.
She had used Cuticura Soap and Oint.
ment and was cured. l decided to try
them, and my hands were all healed
before I had used one cake of Cuti-
cura Ointment. I am truly thankful
for the good results from the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them
/ was cured, and did not have to lose
day from work. / have had no re-
turn of the skin trouble" (Signed)
Mrs. Mary e. Breig, 1922 Brown
Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. II, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
Of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura." Dept. l.. Boston.

Labor Agents Are Checked.

Fl. B. 43s, an act to place a privi-
lege license on each emigrant or en-
ployment agent, or persons engaged in
hiring labor or soliciting immigrants or
Iaborers in Mississippi, to be employed
in or beyond the limits of this state, was
called for passage by Mr.. Stennis, of the
ways and means committee.
The bill proposes a tax of $500 on
each agent of the sort. 1t had its ORR
gin in the fact that agents from Ar
kansas and Alabama have been drain
ing the state of labor, much to the de-
moraliaztion of labor in certain planting
districts. The bill passed by vote Of
81 to 10.

The Old CAPITOL Again.

The old capitol building is perplex-
fng problem to the law makers of the
state. The Burkitt bill to repair it and
use it as state historical hall was
killed earlier in the session by one vote.
The proposition bobbed up again and it
ss proposed to move several of the state
departments to the old capitol building,
agriculture, war and insurance, as we'll
as the historical department. Senator
Burkitt brought the bill up on motion
10 reconsider and it was passed with
Notes to spare.

Negro Servants Get Pension.

Mississippi will not remove from the
pension rolls the negroes who acted as
servants for Confederate soldiers during
the Civil War. Last week the house
passed bill wiping the negroes off the
pension rolls after a stormy debate. The
house bill was sent over to the senate,
where it struck snag. Vigorous OPP
position developed, and the old soldiers
who favored dropping negroes from tina
rolls finally decided to compromise by
accepting bill reducing the pensions Of
the blacks to $40

Another Bill Disappears.

The latest sensation in the Legislature
is the disappearance of the County
prosecuting attorney bill'' which was
passed by the house some time ago and
which was chen sent to the senate. It
is gone and nobody knows anything
about it at all The Farmers Union
members of the legislature are worried
over the disappearance of the measure.
This bill is one the Farmers Union has
long cherisheS, as there has been con-
siderable animosity to the office of coun-
ty prosecuting attorney by the union.

Salary Bill Killed.

The chancery clerks won their fight
against the bill to put them on the sal
airy basis. There was meeting of the
judiciary committee and the clerks and
the sherifrs appeared to protest against
the bill being reported favorabIy. The
committee concluded that by placing
them on a salary basis would mean de-
struction of the efficient service that
has been created through the fee sys-
tenn. The bill was reported with an
amendment which win affect only the
sheriffs' department.
