Jackson-In the opinion Of the Hon. R

does not vest the pardoning power in 9
lieutenant governor, serving during the
governors absence from tAs stae. and
Ill pardona thus ISSUE are null and void.
Il am 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 waffle the regular in
cumbent i out Of the state, would ex.
ercise the pardoning power, and such &C
ton b contrary both to the letter and
the spirit Of that document.
"The matter is one of such serious
ness that I believe it should be Vested
in the courts, which could be easily done
by arresting some convict pardoned by
the lieutenant governor on . bench a
rant, on The ground that he Is a fugitive
from justice, and then let habeas corpus
proceedings be instituted and the matter

WORMS KILL BOIL WEEVlL
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.

Jacksonville total absence Of the
Mexican boil weevil in the northern por-
ton Of the delta this year has furnished
. theme for much interesting specula-
tion among agricultural experts. and .
very PLAUSIBLE explanation of the disap-
pearance of the pest is offered BY DIR. K.
v. Powers, Of this city. who owns large
planting interests in the data.
The weevil has disappeared simply
because he was starved cut last year."
says DF. Powers. ut will DO 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 non 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.

There is nothing secret In regard 70 the
movement said to be ripe for sonsumma-
ton, that the fraternity men viii take
legal proceedings to prevent the expulsion

arms and exceedingly sore ever since the
legislature of 1912 passed senate bill e27,
otherwise known rs the Russell bill,
which became chapter lit Of the lave
Of 1919, to abolish and prohibit Greek
letter fraternities, sororities and all
other secret orders among students at
the university and all ether educational
institutions supported BY the state.
The most drastic section Of the act OF

"That no student in the university o.

who is a member OF any Of the orders,
chapters, fraternities, sororaties, sccie-

shall be permitted to receive any class

dent, mol 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 q 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
q student there, affiliate with such 60
cieties or attend their meetings. E
It is understood that Hon. A. F. Fox,
expresident of the Mississippi Bar Asso-

RAILROADS WILL NOT OBEY ORDER
OF THE COMMISSION.
Roads Claim That New Rate On SanA

aeter-LitigatiOn viii Be Start
by Other Roads.

Jackson.-The New Orleans 4 North
eastern and the Alabama 4 Vicksburg
roads have snjoined 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 c,
Niles, and h returnable at the Nevsm'
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-
fisestory 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 inn
pose on them the very heaviest portion
of the burden.
1t is expected that other railway lines
in the state will also institute injunc.
tion 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.
