Americas Oldest University.

The comparatively small connection

with Peru makes it difficult for many
to realize that In the city of Lima is
the oldest university in the new world,
the University of San Harcos, founded
in 1853. At this historic educational
institution a students congress was

it's character: The minister of in

Mrs. Eleanor Rowland and daugh-

They both speak very favorably of
Bemidji and said they have secured

FRATS. WILL FIGHT!
new STATE Law
RECENT ACT OF LEGISLATURE
WILL BE TESTED BY COURTS.
Provision Which Bars From Honors All
Who on Entering State School
Have Joined F~raternities
Meets Opposition.

Jackson.-The eyes of University Of
Mississippi men and fraternity men in
general are on the institution at Oxford,
much. interested in the reported pending
trouble over the anti-fraternity law
There is nothing secret in regard to the
movement said to be ripe for consumma.
ton, that the fraternity men will take
legal proceedings to prevent the expulsion
or ousting OF fraternities from the stu
dent body. These men have been up in
arms and exceedingly sore ever since the
legislature of 1912 passed senate bill 227,
otherwise known as the Russell bill,
which became chapter 1T of the laws
of 1912, to abolish and prohibit Greek
letter fraternities, sororities and all
other secret orders among students at
the university and all other educational
institutions supported by the state.
The most drastic section of the act OF
adjustment provides.
"That no student in the university or
in any other educational institution sup
ported in whole or in part by the state
who is a member of any of the orders,
chapters, f%raternities, sororaties, socie-
ties and organizations hereby prohibited
shall be permitted to receive any class
honors, diplomas or distinctions conferred
by the institution of which he is a stu
dent, nor to complete nor contend for
any prize or medal offered by his re-
spective school or any association or in
dividual."
Any student who is a member of the
repudiated orders must, on entrance, file
with the chancellor, president or superin-
tendent, as the case might be, a written
agreement that he will not, while he is
a student there, affiliate with such so
cieties or attend their meetings.
1t is understood that Hon. A. F. Fox,
ex-president of the Mississippi Bar Assoc
citation, has taken charge of the proposed
litigation, and a fight on the anti-fra-
ternity act will be made.

CANNOT GIVE PARDON
CLEMENCY BY LIEUTENANT Gov
k-.NOR is OF NO VALUE.
This Is the Opinion of Hon. R. N. Miller,
President OF the mississippi Bar
Acknowledgment That
Test Be Made.

Jackson-In the opinion of the Hon. R.
N. Miller, one of the leading members
of the state bar, president of the Missis-
sippi Bar Association, the constitution
does not vest the pardoning power in a
lieutenant governor, serving during the
governors absence from the stae, and
ell pardons thus issu. are null and void.
81 IN willing to stake by professional
reputation On this Interpretation of our
organic law" said Mr.. Miller. at was
never contemplated by the makers of the
constitution that the lieutenant governor,
temporarily serving while the regular in
cumbent is out of the state, would ex-
ercise the pardoning power, and such ac-
tion is contrary both to the letter and
the spirit of that document.
THE matter is one of such serious
ness that l believe it should be tested
in the courts, which could be easily done
by arresting some convict pardoned by
the lieutenant governor on a bench war
rant, on the ground that he is a fugitive
from justice, and then let habeas corpus
proceedings be instituted and the matter
tested in the courts"

WORMS KILL BOIL WEEWL
WHY LATEST PEST is NOT IN THE
DELTA THIS YEAR.
An Interesting Explanation of How Raw
ages of Army Worm Starved the
Weevils During Hot Weather
Last Year.

Jackson.-The total absence of the
Mexican boil weevil in the northern por-
ton of the delta this year has furnished
q theme for much interesting specula.
ton among agricultural experts. and a
very PLAUSIBLE explanation of the disap.
pearance Of the pest is offered by DR.. r.
V. Powers, of this city, who owns large
planting interests in the delta.
"The weevil has disappeared simply
because he was starved out last year"
says Dr. Powers. ct will be recalled
that the ravages of the army worm were
exceedingly bad last year, especially in
the upper counties of the delta. The
army worm came along just about this
time of the year, stripping the cotton
absolutely clean, and as a result the boil
weevil actually starved to death, or per-
ished beneath the blistering rays of the
sun, and none were left for seed this
year. 1t was literally a case of one pest
destroying another, and, as the army
worm rarely comes two years in success
sion, the result is splendid crops in the
delta this season."
According to reports received here, the
general outlook in the delta is the best
for many years, and some planters de-
clare that the cotton already made is
more than they will be able to pick With
their available labor supply.

MISSISSIPPI AT CHICAGO.
Getting Things in Readiness for Land
Show Nov. % to Dec, IS,

Observation-Disclosures will have four,
and maybe five booths at the Chicago
Land Show in November of this year.
Last year this state had only two
booths, but Mr.. Blakeslee, who had
charge of the exhibits, was successful
IN advertising the state and its re-
sources to a great extent. Much ia
vorable comment was ELECTED from the
people and the press of the North and
West. This year a more extensive ex-
hibit will be put on for the purpose of
advertising the resources of the state to
the people of that section and thereby
encouraging immigraeton of the right
character to this section.
In these four or five booths will be
shown the varied of the state
and the products of every section. As
the railroads are financing the PROPOSE
ton, in the hope of building up this Sec
ton and others ont West, it will cost the
state very little to put in a good exhibit
at Chicago.

$500 acres in cotton which will yield
not less than 5000 bales of cotton, pro-

will yield from 40 to 60 bushels per acre.

COURT ENJO|Ns COMMISSION
RAILROADS WILL NOT OBEY ORDER
OF THE COMMISSION.
Roads Claim That New Rate On Sand

by Other Roads.

Jacksonville New Orleans & North

roads have enjoined the Mississippi rail
road commission from enforcing its or
der of August goth, establishing new
freight rates for the transportation Of
sand and gravel in this state.
The restraining order was issued in
the federal court by Judge Henry G
Niles, and is returnable at the Noveh
Der term of court in this city.
The injunction bill of complaint al
leges that the rates fixed by the com
mission are unreasonably low and con
fiscatory in character, and that the rail
roads cannot haul these commodities at
the rates fixed without sustaining very
heavy losses.
Railway traffic officials state that
they are willing to bear even more than
their just share of the work of build
ing good roads in Mississippi, which
these rates are supposed to promote, but
the tariffs as fixed by the commission i'm
pose on them the very heaviest portion
of the burden.
1t is expected that other railway lines
in the state will also institute injunc'
ton proceedings within the next few
days, and it is a certainty that the liti'
CATION filed will prevent the enforce
ment of the rates for several years, if
they are ever enforced at all.
During the past eight months more
litigation in the state and federal courts
has resulted from orders, of the rail-
road commission than for the entire -four
years of the previous administration.
