To Regulate Pill-Rollers.

Mr. Johnston of Coahoma, chair
man of the house judiciary commit
tee, has introduced bill to regulate
the practice of pharmacy. The meas
ure was framed by the state board of
pharmaceutical examiners, and is
likely to receive favorable considera-
ton in view of the fact that existing
statutes ON that topic are rather an
tiquated, there having been no legis-
lation relative to pharmacy during
the past twenty years.
The state board of pharmacy held
a meeting yesterday, and after its adj
journment Mr.. H. M. Faser, the new
ly-elected president, who is also presi-
dent of the Mississippi Pharmaceuti-
cal Association, presented the draft
of the bill to Mr.. Johnston for intro
duction.
Incidentally, the new pharmacy
board is one Of the strongest that has
been named by a Governor for many
years. 1t is composed of men of high
standing in the profession. all Of
whom own their drug establishments,
and have met with personal business
success. The president of the board,
Mr.. Faser, is also dean of the depart
ment of pharmacy at the University
of Mississippi.

Blow at Pool Rooms.

The first blow at pool rooms in
Mississippi was struck by the Senate
yesterday afternoon when the Boddie
bill, prohibiting minors from frequent
ing such places was passed by an al
most unanimous vote. The bill is
aimed against that class of resorts
where young boys and men gather
for the purpose of gambling. The law
becomes effective Immediately, and
puts a penalty on the owner of a re-
sort where boy is arrested, also
puts a penalty on the minor arrest
ed.
Senator Van B. Boddie, of Green
vile, was inspired to introduce the
bill by conditions around his home
town. Speaking for the bill yester-
day he declared that he has observed
boys of tender ages playing games of
chance in pool rooms. He charged
that the poolrooms of the country are
the breeding places of vice, and de-
clared with much emphasis that al
most every pool room in the state has
a blind tiger in the rear.
81 think this bill is one of the best
that has been introduced in the leg
islature," declared Senator Norwood,
yesterday afternoon, speaking of the
Boddie measure. There is no doubt
but that the pool rooms have needed
regulation"

Of Mississippi, where he was former
ly student. The OPPOSITION in the
senate was somewhat stronger than
the author expected, the vote being
"a ayes, 10 hayes, and it is claimed
that there is much larger per cent
age of fraternity men in the lower
house.
A conspicuous figure in the senate
debate yesterday was Senator Nor
wood, who took the position that the
subject was not proper one for leg
islation, but should be handled by the
governing bodies of the several state
institutions.

TRIP TO HATTIESBURG.

Editor The News:
Those members of the legislature
who did not accept the hospitality of
Hattiesburg on Saturday, Feb. Bird, do
not realize how much they missed by
not going with us. The train left
Jackson early Saturday morning and
reached Hattiesburg about ten a. m.
The business league met us at the
train and came aboard and all went
at once to the Normal College grounds.
The work on the buildings is progress
ing nicely, and in few months not
only Hattiesburg, but the whole state
of Mississippi will be proud of the

The city of Hattiesburg has way of
getting up and going after what she

OTHER SIDE OF QUESTION.

Editor of The News:
In the last few days there has been
considerable comment in the press
and elsewhere about the petition of
the citizens of the southern part of
Jones to be annexed to Forrest. From
all accounts someone has evidently
been misinformed, and we think it is
our duty to correct any errors that
may be abroad.
With all due respect to the editor
Of the Laruel Daily Argus, we will say
that in the first place he made It ap-
pear to the people that about half of
the county would be cut of, and would
leave little strip for Jones. The Pc
tition only calls for three mile strip
across the county. A three mile strip
would not include Moselle at all. In
fact the line would be something
over a mile from Moselle, and there
fore 1t is reasonable to presume that
the citizens of Moselle are not in open
rebellion as the Argus would have one
believe. Why should we be called
insurrectos? When a body of free
Americans ask for what will greatly
benefit them, should they be called
insurrectos? l dare say that the peo-
pie who are kicking on this matter
have never Investigated it in the least.
If the people want to be annexed to
another county they certainly have
reasons for it. We do not wish to be
"insurrectos," neither do we wish to
be rebellious, but under the present
circumstances from a business stand
point we believe that we can better
ourselves by being annexed to For
rest. In the first place it is very in
convenient for those having to pay
taxes, and attend to other county af-
fairs to go to Ellisville to do so. Any
Of the citizens asking to be cut off can
very easily drive to Hattiesburg in
two hours or less and attend to their
business and return home without be-
ing put to any extra expense. Besides
the people of this section live so far
from Ellisville that they cannot do
business in Ellisville, and have to do
1t in Hattiesburg, then why not be in
Forrest county. Anyone can readily
see the inconvenience of one who has
to take day off and go to Ellisville
to attend to affairs. Then why can't
We have what will be of advantage to
us directly? Or should We remain in
Jones for the benefit of other people
who only want us to stay for what
they can get out of us. And after all
this inconvenience, they have gone so
far as to take the telephones out of
the court house, and now we can't
even reach the county seat by tele-
phone. If anything should happen af-
ter ten o'clock at night that the sheriff
was wanted in this part of the county
there would be no way to get him
whatever, as the telegraph office
closes in Ellisville at ten. We could
send message from here alright but
there would not be anyone to receive
it at Ellisville. Now who wants to
live all around these conveniences
and have them not? Who wants to
live in county that wont furnish a
telephone for the sheriff? Who wants
to live in county that is not making
any effort to have good roads? Who
wants to remain in county where no
conveniences are extended to It's peo-
Pile? The county has done this them
selves-and who can blame us? Yes,
as The Argus said 1.-THE Cat is Now

Mental Anguish" Bill Killed.

Mental anguish" cannot be CAPT.
talized into material damages, accord
ing to the senate judiciary commit
tee. The much-discussed bill provid-
ing that telegraph and telephone COM
panies shall be liable for damages for
delay of death messages, ETC., when
such delay has been unreasonable,
causing much mental anguish to the
party addressed, has been put to
sleep in the legislative graveyard, land
there is little or no probability that
1t will enjoy resurrection.
Much POPULARITY has been INDUCED
in concerning this measure It was
pointed out, and with good deal of
logic, that some persons, in event
such a law was placed on the statute
books, would be suffering from men,
tai anguish all the time; also that it
would be impossible to reach any
common basis for damages in such
cases since some persons, by reason
of archaeological nervous tempera-
ment, would suffer much more men,
tai anguish than others, and eventu-
ally the entire commonwealth would
arrive at such state of anguish that
the telegraph and telephone COM
panies would be compelled to sell
their property in order to meet all of
the damage verdicts.

THE GREER ARTICLE.
Editor Hattiesburg Daily News:

Editor Hattiesburg Daily News:
A friend has sent me copy OF
your paper of the date of Jan. 80, in
which | find your article, "A Vile
SANDER of the State by a Socialist
Writer"
Now as to the statement by DR.
Greer that Hattiesburg had mobbed
and killed man who had gone there
to organize labor, | certainly deplore
as much as anyone can such a report,
and as soon as heard of it, although
l had never seen the article, wrote
to a Jackson paper that | heard had
published the article, to your paper,
and to the Milwaukee paper, in which
the article is said to have appeared
and denied the charge in regard to
Hattiesburg. Your city has ever
been kind and fair to all parties so
far as ] know, and as I have visited
the city many times and have spoken
my mind on all such occasions,
should be able to tell what manner of
people Hattiesburgers are.
AS to the rest of your article, in
which you make me out as posing
as cheap" martyr, l would like
space to say a few things, although
| recognize the fact that you have
taken "a whack at me because you are
justly angry at false charge against
Hattiesburg, and | am at closer range
than Dr.. Greer.
In regard to the Street Tax, we who
have fought the case are more Dem
ocrats than Socialists. The original
meeting held in Biloxi was engineer
ed by Democrats, and not by Social
lists. We came to the movement on
invitation by some of the most promi-
nent men in this city. | believe,
however, that all parties arrested
have so far been, Socialists. went
to Jail because it was agreed that
the mans case that was first lost in
the lower court should go to Jail and
have his cause carried to the Supreme
Court. We won a number of cases
on technicalities. In my case we
waived all technicalities and went on
to the Supreme Court of the State.
| wish to call your attention to the
fact that the Supreme Court of the
State did not answer one of our con-
stitutional questions, but got out of it
by rendering no opinion at all, mere
ly affirming" the decision of he low
er court. We wrote to Jackson and
offered to pay for a copy of the opin-
ion of the Supreme Court, but were
informed that there was none. Why?
Now l am willing to argue the ques-
ton of Constitutionality with any
lawyer either as regards to the State
or the National Constitution, or for
that matter any newspaper man.
Even a cheap" martyr has a right
to test law. If I am wrong in nv
conclusions, I have paid the price and
taken my medicine, and if | am right,
in the course of time the Supreme
Court of the United States will so
decide.
AS to wages in Mississippi, they
are too low, there is no denying that,
whether John Rockefeller pays them,
