URGE REMOVAL OF TROOPS.
Senators in Stormy Debate Over Broyley
Resoltuii j. M


Jackson. Thursday xas U day Of
stormy debate in the legislature. Strik-
ing scenes were witnessed IN both The
senate and house. Two measures pro-.
duced oratorical contests IN the senate.
The first measure that started verbal
pyrotechnics in the upper house was
resolution introduced z-Senator Broyles
calling for the removal Of the troops
now used in the Illinois Central strike
at McComb City and Water Valley.
Senator Broyles supported his resolal-
tion with a vigorous speech, in which be.
attacked the railroad alxnpany for the
course it had pursued Senator Camp
bell and several other senators took is
sue with Senator Broyies, charging that
his resolution was reflection upon Gov.
Brewer, who has been and is now en-
gagged in an effort to settle the strike.
Senator Broyles disclsined anv inten-.
tion to cast a refec kw4pon the gov
ernor, and spoke att Eth in support
of his resolution. After lengthy de-
bate the resolution was fnalIy tabled.
The next measure That ignited the
SClhebLO11dl 1AAcWO1Ao was JIG huGSelk ul1ty
providing for the suppression OF the
fraternal societies of The State Univer-
sity at Oxford. Senator Russell adv0-
Gated the passage of. his bill and in
doing so he did not aaince any words,
but used plain Language. He denounced
the fraternal organizations at the uni
versity as a disgrace to the state and
produced documentary evidence in sup
port of his argument.R If the frats are
not put out of business 5y law, he said,
they would absolutely destroy the use
fulness of the universsy. Senator Hall
Sanders led the fight in opposition to
the Russell bill. He spoke from the
viewpoint of fraternity man and de-
clared that many of the leading men
of Mississippi are meInbers of those or
ganizations.

FARMERS ENCOURAGED.
Copiah County Will Diversity More This
Year.

Hazlehurst.-Farmers of this county
are more optimistic as to the outlook
for the coming crop year than they were
last year this time. They realize that
rains last summer had as much to do
with the short cotton crop as the weevil
pest. Cotton will be planted this year
and by employing methods of fighting
the weevil and a favorable season some
cotton will be made. There is enough
foodstuffs in the cribs and smokehouses
of the farmers to make the crop. Con-
siderable trucking will be done, corn will
receive more attention than ever as a
money and food crop. while some farm
ers will engage in cattle raising. Pea
nuts and hogs disappointed those who
raised them for market this past year,
but the wise farmer viii do well to
plant peanut crop and raise his own
meat and have some hogs for the early
market.

CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES.
Three Amendments Added to the Or
qanic Law.


Thursday was constitutional amend
ment day in the house. Three consti-
tutional amendments were taken up
and adopted. Constitutional provision
for the election of circuit and ehancery
judges by the people. The second amend
ment inserted into the organic law is a.
substitute for the section in regard to
the session of the legislature. Under
the old provision of the constitution the
legislature held what was known as q
short session. every two years, at
which only questions submitted by the
governor. except appropriations and rev
enue bills, could be considered. The
amendment makes all sessions of the
legislature regular and deprives the gov
ernor Of the power to say what the law
makers shall or shall not do. The third
amendment inserted was a provision,
requiring the legislature to insert amend
ments into the constitution at the next
succeeding session following their adop-
tion by the people.
All of the amendments have been rati-
fed by the people, and they will become
part of the states fundamental laws.

DIR. w. A. EVANS URGES APPRO.
PRIATION FOR STATISTICS.
Hookworm Causing Great Loss of En-
ergy and Life Among the People
of the South

Jackson.-The protection of the home
by stringent health laws was the sub
ject discussed by DR.. w. A. Evans, for
merly of Mississippi, out now one OF
the leading health officers OF the great
metropolis of Chicago, before a joint
session of the Mississippi legislature
The legislative chamber was packed
with other persons than the lawmakers.
Gov Earl Brewer introduced the speak
er. There were a number Of Iatlies pres
ent.
The speaker delivered one o. the most
forceful talks ever heard in the state.
He is a man of commanding appear
ance, has a magnetic power OF elo-
quence, and every sentiment expressed
showed deep thought and study given
to the subject. The lecture was simple
and comprehensive, devoid of technical
features, and was treat both from the
viewpoint of the layman and the studi-
Gus medical student.
The speaker deftly prefaced his re-
marks with a slight reference to the
many diseases to which the South is
heir, especially the state of Mississippi,
explained their origin, growth and finish.
He graphically told of the ravages of
typhoid, malaria, hookworm, yellow
fever and the dreaded White Plague, Z
or tuberculosis.
"There is no disease in the South that
is causing greater loss to the splendid
citizenship than the hookworm disease, =
he declared, @and / want to enphat-
ically state now that It can be wiped
out 81 the state Just as ene seitJw fesei
has been done. Consumption is another
disease that is cutting down the sturdy
manhood and womanhood of the state,
and it, too, can be prevented if the
proper measures are placed at the dis
posal of the health officers"
DIR. Evans told of the various stages
of consumption, placing particular stress
on the fact that it prevails to great
extent among the negroes. He declared
that the dreaded disease was dreaded no
longer in some of the cities where the
health officers and the people have or
ganized to fight it. He explained that
if the disease is diagnosed before it
gained too great headway it could be
stamped out.

600 per year It is earnestly hoped that
in future the appropriation can be in-
creased to $4,000 per year, and the per
capita cost Of the patient per day in
creased to 4o cents.
Increased costs Of foods, medicines,

WORLD INTEREST
IN kNOx'S TRIP
AMERICAN EXPECTED TO RESTORE
PEACE IN LATIN AMERICA.
America for Americans European Pow
ers, However, Want Interests
Protected.

Washington. Worldwide significance
attaches to the visit soon to be made
by Secretary Knox, at the direction OF
President Taft, to the countries border
ing on the Caribbean sea.
European diplomats, recalling re
cent speech of Mr.. Knox before the New
York State Bar Association on the Mon
roes doctrine, look upon the proposed
trip with more than passive interest.
That speech is now being interpreted, as
the latest notice, given by tile, United
STATE, ihsas thaf principle OH Ameries
for Americans must be observed.
Central American diplomats were
unanimous in their statements that the
secretary's visit not only would allay
internal doubt as to the attitude of the
United States government toward their
countries, but would warn off possible
encroachments of nations in the other
hemisphere.
The present state of unrest III many
Latin-American countries, the efforts OF
the state department to maintain neu-
trality as between the republics of the
south, and its endeavors to unravel their
financial tangles have proceeded, it is
said, not without the potential infllt
ence of world powers.
Particular attention was drawn by a
number of diplomats, discussing the
wide circulation now being given to Sec
retary Knox's speech, to those portions
in which he advocated the Immediate
adoption of the loan conventions with
Nicaragua and Honduras, now pending
in the United States senate 1t was
pointed out that Mr.. Knox had urged
their passage because of the ever-increas-
ing political reason OF avoiding the dam
ger of European ENHANCEMENT in the
affairs of the countries surrounding the
Caribbean.
1t was pointed out that the adopted
policy of the United States-to bolster
up those countries in trouble on this
hemisphere-had in measure been a
consequence of the pressure from Eu
ropean countries. To prevent interfer-
ence in countries where European finan-
cial interests have suffered losses through
the volatile and incompetent administra-
tions of Central American politicians,
the United States has taken decided
stand, though not without meeting the
apprehensive scrutiny of political par
ties in some OF the republics.
It is understood that aside from the
moral effect that Secretary Knox's visit
may have in removing suspicious OF an
American territorial aggrandizement, the
heads of the various Central American
countries viii receive a personal explana
tion of the hopes of the United States
with reference to the Panama canal.

DONALD RAPED HINES.

Mississippi.

Senator J. D. Donald, of Hattiesbnrg,
speaking before the Mississippi senate
on the Mounger constitutional conyen-
tion bill, raped Edward Hines and the
Edward Hines Lumber Company, declar-
ing that Hines and his associates are in
control of lands in South Mississippi in
violation of the law. Senator Donald
urged the passage of the bill, contend
ing that South Mississippi was entitled
to more representation, and cited the

state can demand taxes from foreign
corporations
