partment of agriculture and COM
merce.
The A. & M. College will of course
make a vigorous fight on the bill hav-
ing this end in view, but it looks like
the cards are stacked, and resistance
will be futile.
Commissioner Blal1eslee, of the de-
partment of agriculture and COM
merce, has been firmly convinced for
several years that the inspection of
commercial fertilizers, feedstuffs and
foods should be under the Jurisdiction
of his department, and it has been
indisputably demonstrated during the
past three weeks that he is a master
hand in the legislative assembly, and
has more influence among the mem
bers than any state official, not even
excepting the Governor or the speak
er of the house.
In event the transfer is ordered, it
will mean the removal to Jackson of
one of the finest chemical laboratories
in the country. DR.. W. F. Hand. state
chemist, will doubtless retain his posi-.
ton. About ten chemists and inspec-
tors are employed by the bureau.

Stone County Bill.

Mr.. Rushing of Harrison introduced
by request in the lower house the bill
creating the new county of Stone,
from portions of Harrison, Forrest,
Pearl River, Hancock and Lamar with
the county seat at Virgins.
Date for hearing of the measure
before the committee on local and

send delegations to Jackson to oppose
the bill.
