HOUSE KILLED
HIGHWAY BILL
Voted Down Without ceremony-oov.
Brewer Has Jared Badly at
Hands of SoIons.

Jackson, Miss, March 16.-The low
pressure brigade dealt the blow final
to Gov Brewers administration by
knitting to death the public highways
bill, providing that the surplus con-
Wet labor on the state farms be utiliz-
ed in the construction of modern roads
in various sections of the state.
The defeat of the bill, which had
been sent from the senate for concur
renee in several relatively unimport-
ant amendments, was profound sur
prise to the friends of Gov. Brewer, as
it was generally believed that the bill
would go through with very little dis
sent
The measure was simply voted
down without ceremony or explanation
of any sort whatsoever. The Varda-
man faction, the Farmers Union, and
the 'low pressure" brigade generally,
lined up on the way side, and it was
apparent before the roll call was half
finished that the bill had been finish
ed.
Governor Brewers friends feel much
Inundated over the fact that not
single important recommendation sub
mitted in his inaugural address or in
subsequent messages has been enact
ed into law. Many of the Governors
suggestions were regarded as very
admirable and greatly needed, but the
emphatic determination of both houses
not to enact any constructive legisla-
ton save that demanded by the radi-
cal element made it apparent early in
the session that Gov. Brewers ideas
of the states needs would not be fav-
orably received
Notably among the important meas
ures recommended by the Governor
and defeated overwhelmingly was that
providing for the creation of an ap-
pellate court system. Instead of equip
ping the judicial department with
more effective machinery for the adj
ministration of justice, a determined
effort was made to cut down the num-
Der of circuit judges and chancellors
and to abolish the office of county at
torney, but these measures failed
chiefly because their supporters were
lacking in Legislative experience and
simply did not know how to force
their bills through.

OSYkA BANK HAS
closed DOORS
Fifth Bank Failure in Pike County
Within Five Years-Poor colIec-
tons Cause.

Magnolia, Miss, March 16.-The
Bank of Osyka, situated at Osyka, ten
miles south of here, of which DR..
Bates is president and H. M. Thomp-
son cashier, closed its doors yester-
day. The ofcials of the bank claim
that the cause of the failure is due to
withdrawal of deposits.
This Institution, from its last re-
ports to the state auditor, indicated d
very healthy condition, as its assets
and liabilities We're in accord with
good banking principles. The bank
was a state depository as we'll as a
county depository.
No doubt the real cause of the
bank failure is due to bad collec-
tons as well as withdrawal of de-
posits. Boil weevil conditions are said
to be partly responsible.
This is the fifth bank failure in
Pike county within the last FIVE
years.
