London,a Mansion House.

The Mansion house, at London.
which will be the future residence of
the new Lord Mayor, was built by the
elder Dance between 1899 and 1853.
This prolonged delay was caused by
the discovery of numerous springs of
water in digging the foundations,
which had to be based upon piles.
Originally the facade had heavy at
tic story commonly called "The Mares
l(Mayor's) Nest" The famous Egyp-
tian hall, which is the principal room.
was so stated because intended by the
architect to reproduce exactly the
Egyptian hall described by Vitruvius.
The cost Of the Mansion house, 971,-
900, is alleged to have been partly
betrayed from fines inflicted upon
Nonconformist members of the cor
poration for not receiving the sacra-
ment according to the rites of the Es-
tablished church, as required by the
corporation act of Charles II.

REAppoRr1oN SCHOOL FUND.
South Mississippi Demands That This Be
Done,

Jaekson.-Bills on almost every con-
ceivable subject were introduced in the
Mississippi legislature Monday. Mem
bers were ON hand early after their rest
of two days, many of them with pockets
bulging with measures which they hoped
to have enacted into laws. The words,
introduction of bills" had scarcely es-
capped from the lips of Speaker Quin
when nearly half hundred members
were on their feet ,clamoring for recogni-
tion. The requests for recognition were
so numerous that the speaker divided
the house of into sections and called
the members ON one section at a time.
When the floodgates were finally closed
FOR the day the clerk had recorded total
of forty-six bills. In the senate about
fifteen bills were introduced, covering
proportionately as wide range of sub
iects as the house measures.
Changes in the constitution became an
issue by the introduction of several
joint resolutions with that end in view.
The South Mississippi delegation is back
ing this movement. The members from
that section want constitutional con-
vention, but if they cannot get that they

amendments. The legislative apportion-

Small Girls Pretty Answer to Stupid
Question Of lnquIsltive
Busybody.

She was pretty little tot, and ev-

In pausing to ask her some kind Of q
question, merely to show an interest

of the questions were what might be
termed leading, but for all she invari-
ably had some kind of an answer.
Among these latter inquiries was one
from an intrusive busybody who was
old enough to know better, but who
belonged to class Of persons who
never learn. Knowing that the little
girl had only recently become the pos

EIectrIeltx from wIndmlIl.

A patent has been granted for a
system of geenrating electricity
wherein the prime movers are a wind
mill and an internal combustion en-
operating on-Aae sator
e connected together by means
of a clutch. When the windmill Is
idle the load is taken by the engine.
and as the windmill gathers speed It
works both the dynamo and the en-.
gine until the speed attains that
which is designated the critical point.
when the engine is disconnected by
governor balls, and the ignition cir
cult is opened, thus stopping the en-
gine. A reduction in the speed of
the dynamo causes the cycle of oper-
ations to work in the opposite order,
with the consequence that the wind
mill runs free and the engine takeS
the load.

Legislature
OYERRIDES GOVERNORS VETO
VOTE AGAINST CHIEF EXECUTIVES
VETO WAS UNANIMOUS.
Bin Penalizing Newspapers for Selling
Their Political Influence Gets Ad-
verse Recommendation.

Jackson.-The senate Tuesday turned
down Gov. Noel's veto. The governor
sent to the senate message vetoing q
bill passed at the session of 1910 ex-
empting railroads and common carriers
from the operation of the antitrust law.
The bill was vetoed because the governor
thought it conflicted with the jurisdic-
tion of the railroad commission.
The Judiciary committee submitted q
report recommending that the bill be
passed over the governors veto. This
was done in order to settle all doubt
about the measure being or becoming a
law. Those who advocated passing the
bill over the governors veto eontended
that it was good measure and ought to
become law. The constitution, they
claimed, placed all railroads and COM
mon carriers under the railroad commits
sion, and it was unjust to those corpora
tions to place them in position where
they could be penalized for violating the
orders of the railway board. When the
bill came up for passage over the gov
ernor's veto it was found that the bill
had been passed over the governors veto
by a vote of Al ayes to no nays, .
unanimous vote.
House bill No. 13, by Mr.. Everett,
penalizing newspapers for selling their
influence during political campaigns, re-
ceived jolt from the judiciary COM
mittee, with an unfavorable report.
Chairman johnson gave notice that
the house Judiciary committee would
give hearing on January % on the
numerous bills introduced to abolish the
office of county attorneys. County attor-
neys from all sections of the state have
asked to be heard, and the committee has
fixed January 20 as the date for them
to show cause why their official heads
should not be chopped off.

Well, "Cuty" went-tucked inside a

tiny ear showed. and the point of his
shiny nose. The doorkeeper and the
ushers missed him entirely. Only the
lady friend who accompanied his mis-

the Supervisor-elect who sat on the
other side of her, and who also likes
French opera. During the whole per-

Millions for AntI-TubercuIosIs Work.

Millions for Anti-TubercuIosIs Work.
Money to the amount of over $14,-
100000 was spent in anti-tuberculosis
work during the Year 1911, according
to the third annual statement OF ex-
penditures in the war against con-
sumption issued by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis. The statement is
based largely on reports received from
anti-tuberculosis agencies in all parts
of the United States.
By far the largest item of expense
was that for treatment in sanatoria
and hospitals, and for the erection OF
institutions of this kind, over 81 .guU..

alone. Dispensaries for the examina-

PLANT BIG VEGETABLE CROP
SURPRISING ACREAGE WILL BE
GROWN THIS YEAR.
Forming Associations and Getting Seeds
Of Same Sort for Each Neigh
borhood.

Jackson Reports received from all
sections of the state are to the effect
that there will be surprisingly large
crop of vegetables planted this year for
sale, and the trucking acreage of Mis-
sissippi will be almost doubled.
Seedsmen state that the demand for
seed is greater than they have ever be-
fore experienced, and altogether greater
breaking away from the one crsp idea
win be made during the present year
than at any previous time.
The public mind has been forced to .
considerable extent to the advantages Of
raising portion, at least, of that which
is consumed, and postal clerks. mail car
riers and postmasters say the flood Of
seed catalogues being delivered and let
ters addressed to seedsmen is also be-
yond anything they have noticed here
tofore, This is from the individuals
making up their minds to plant gardens
and farm truck on a small scale.
The new truck farming centers are
proceeding in a most sensible and sys.
tematie way, each community ordering
the same varieties of seed, so as to
have their crops mature at the same
time, and be of the same grade, there
being in this way large enough guam
tity to attract wholesale buyers and to
ship in carload lots.
Cabbage plants are already up and in
the cold frames. The tomato seed has
been sown, and paintings are being
made of English peas, and in the south
ern part of the state, Irish potatoes.
It has also been found that along the
coast and the lower portion of the state,
tomatoes can be brought in from ten
days to two weeks earlier than in the
Crystal Springs district, and this south
ern section is developing into tomato
growing location, the product from there
following closely the Florida crop into
the market.

constitution makes the population the
basis Of apportionment.
a basis for readjusting the school
apportionment has not been figured out.
but the supporters Of the movement de-
clare that something must be done. They
point to the fact that some Of the coun-
ties pay into the state treasury nearly
twice a. much money in the shape Of
school taxes as they receive back from
the state to support their schools. Un-
der the operation of the present consti-
tuition all school taxes are paid into the
state treasury, and the money is appor-
toned among the counties with the scho-
iastic population as basis. In some Of
the counties where the negroes are in
the majority the public schools are run
ming most Of the year, while in some Of
the white counties they are operated only
four or five months. The supporters Of
school tax reform assert that the white
taxpayers are keeping up the negro
schools in the counties where the blacks
predominate for full terms, while white
children in other counties are neglected.
This system, they say, must be changed.
Speaker Quin announced long list Of
committee assignments, but his list is
not yet completed. Representative Nor
rison of Grenada is chairman of the ap-
preparations committee, which controls
the pursestrings of the legislature. Mr..
Rencher heads the committee on corpora
tions, while Mr.. benson viii preside over
the committee on banks and banking.
Mr.. Cavett is chairman Of the insurance
committee and Mr.. Owen leads the COM
Ihittee on education.
Among the important bills introduced
in the house was one by Representative
E. A. Anderson of Forrest county, pro-
viding for the creation of the Office of
state bank examiner. Mississippi at
present has no state bank examiner or
any system for the supervision of banks
except requirement that banking insti-
tutions shall submit reports to the aud
itor at stated periods. The object Of
Mr.. Anderson's bill is to bring about q
proper supervision of banks.
The measure provides that the state
bank examiner shall be elective and fixes
salary of $4,000 year and all neces-
sary travelling expenses. The examiner
is placed under the control of the state
treasurer and is subject to removal by
the governor for neglect of duty. The
question of the regulation and examina-
tion of banks has developed into live
issue in the legislature. The recent fail
ure of several banks has aroused the
lawmakers to the necessity for legisla.
tion. 1t seems certain that bank reg
ulation bill will pass at this session. The
supporters of bank legislation make the
argument that no honest or well man
aged banking institution has any reason
to fear or oppose system of regulation
and examination, and it is only the
loosely conducted financial concerns that
will fight it.
