APPROPRIATION FOR
STOCK BOARD REDUCED

Jackson Miss, Feb 23.-The $780,
900 appropriation looked forward to
by the Mississippi Live Stock SAM
tary Board to carry on the work for
1912, has been knocked into a cock
ed hat, according to members of the
Senate Finance committee. The bill
was knitted by the committee to the
tune of $4,000. This cuts the appro-
priation down from $4,000 to $780,
900 and leaves little incentive to the
Federal government to help out with
the work.
The committee has concluded TO
give a favorable report on the bill for
an appropriation of $4,000 for Sum
mer Normal schools, $4,000 for 1912
and $4,000 for 1918.
The bill to appropriate $1,000 for
the salary of the State Librarian will
also get a favorable report from the
Finance committee despite the fact
that there has been considerable op-
position to one of the bills. The sen
ate committee will recommend the ap-
propriatios under a separate bill.
Chairman Wiley Sanders, of the
Twenty-second district, stated this
morning that the committee was hard
at work on every appropriation bill
referred to it, and explained that the
committee will not bog up the legisla
tive machinery to prevent adjourn,
ment at the time stipulated in the ad
/ journment resolution.

made this latest acquisition to its al
ready long list of by-products. The
demand started when an aged woman
asked a city salesman if he could sell
her several dozen black candles. He
supplied the order by dyeing white
ones.
When it comes to working
charms, said he, 1.-THE candle is the
thing. Every color has a meaning all
it's own. A red candle is burned for
courage, blue for love, and black for
death. sold those candles to the
'voodoo doctors at ten cents "a pound,

not reciprocated, you just buy a blue
candle and burn it. If you had an
enemy you didn't wish would die, but
just wanted to get him 'nettled in his
business, you would buy black can

needles through it. That was to get
your enemy 'nettled. Did I believe it?
Sure; it was good money"

SENATOR WANTS
MORE CONCERTS
Bill Providing That Municipalities

Special to The Net0s.

Special to The Netos.
jackson, Miss. Feb. 23.-There is
bill before the Municipalities commit
tee of the senate which has a ten
dency to create an interest in musical
concerts in every city in the state.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Clarence Greaves, of Flora, and pro-
vides that the mayor and board of
aldermen of municipalities may ap-
propriate money for the purpose of
providing the people with free band
concerts.
81 think the bill will be a great
benefit to the people of the state,
said Senator Greaves, speaking of his
bill. Mississippi has been in the
background in the matter of furnish
ing her people with entertainment.
and what little pleasure they have
ever had has been at their own ex-
pense. | believe in relieving them of
the expense of spending money for a
little entertainment. The people pay
the state municipalities taxes, and get
nothing in return but worry. Band
concerts will bring the working peo-
pie out for recreation in summer, and
will have wholesome and beneficial
effect on every community that takes
advantage of the statute"
Senator Greaves believes that
allowing the aldermen to make an ap
preparation will incite the business
men of the communities to dig dowl
in their jeans and help out.
1.-THE minds of the people should
be relieved of the chase after thu
mighty dollar" is the way Senate
Greaves feels about the entire matter
