ROADS AND SCHOOLS WEEK
GOVERNOR ISSUES PROCLAMATION
ON THE SUBJECT.
Greatest Need at &Ais Time
is Good Roads and Better
Schools.

Jackson.-Gov Brewer has issued a
proclamation setting apart the week be-
ginning Feb. 25 and ending March 2,
1912, to be observed as ''good roads
and rural school consolidated week" In
the course of the proclamation the gov
ernor observes:
"I do earnestly urge and request the
people of the state, boards of trade and
other organizations, the churches, the
press, and especially the farmers, who
are so vitally affected b. good roads and
rural school eonsolidatid%, to do what
ever they can to increase interest in
good roads and inculcate in the minds
of our people the necessity for them"
This proclamation is based on the
general proposition that one of the most
important questions now before the peo-
pie of Mississippi is good roads, as it
is of the people throughout the whole of
the United States. It is further pointed
out that hand in hand with the road
improvement proposition is that of con-
solidation of rural schools, and both are
closely interviewer.

might be wise thing to accept the res
ignations for reasons known to you and
me, but want to thank you in behalf
of the state for the very splendid and
patriotic service You have rendered
The designations were brief and for
NAL, need of attention to personal af-
fairs being given as the chief reason.

Jackson.-An item wherein this legis-
lature is economical is on the matter
Of drinking water. The last one paid
something like S, 500 for various fancy
brands of spring water for the mem
bers to drink. This legislature bought
a few demijohns Of it, and then re-,
bellcd. The superintendent of the blind
institute said he had a good artesian or
deep well there and would furnish ali
the drinking water needed free. The Of.
fer was jumped at, and the members
now drink water that don't cost cent
and say its just IS good, il not better,
than the much advertised spring brands.

FOR CHEAPER MONEY,
House Passes Bill to Reduce the Interest
Rate.

NdIe.
Jackson house of representa-
tives voted in favor of cheaper money.
House bills Nos. 123 and 1872, known as
the money bills. were passed by. an
overwhelming majority. Bill No. 1913
provides for u reduction of the contract
rate on money from 10 to s per cent,
and bill No. 1872 exempts all money
loaned at the rate of 6 per cent from
taxation
The Farmers Union and large num-
Der of people who are not members OF
that order fought for reduction of the
contract rate from 10 to s per cent. The
banking interests throughout the state
generally favored the bill exempting
per cent loans from taxation. The
Farmers Union officially announced that
it would fight the 6 per cent exemption
bill unless the contract reduction bill
was coupled with it and passed. The
conflicting interests finally agreed to
couple the fate of the bills in the house,
and both of them were considered at
the same time and debated at great
length today. Roll calls followed each
other on both bills and both were passed
by more than the required constitutional
majority.

SHIPPERS MUCH PLEASED.
Announcement of Issuance of Mississippi
Tariff.

Jackson announcement by the
Mississippi railroad commission that as
soon as the matter of freight rates in
Mississippi is settled-and which will be
soon, for the present body is in favor
of repeating the order adopting "South-
ern Classification No. 49," that an Off
cial tariff for Mississippi would be COM
piled and distributed free to all ship
pers and applicants, has met with much
appreciation.
AS matters have stood for number
of years one had to take the word OF
railroad clerk for the rate and the gen

what the Mississippi rates were. That
is going to be remedied as soon as pos
sible.

REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS WILL

HADLEY MAY BE SIGNER
Colonel Is Willing to Be Drafted, 10
Washington 5elief-RepIy to
Be Signal For a National
Movement.

Washington, d. C.-Close friends
of former President Roosevelt in
Washington expect that some public
announcement as to his intention in
egard to the presidential nomination
ibis year will appear within the next
en- days or two weeks.
Republican governors of several
states and former governors are ar
ranging to address call to Col.
Roosevelt to become the party's can
didate this year The contributing
editor, according to advices here, will
not be wholly unprepared for this in
vitation, but in the words of the pop
alar song he will be waiting at the
church"
This "call" will probably be signed
Dy Gov Glasscock of West Virginia,
Gov Hadley of Missouri, Gov. Osborn
of Michigan and possibly others. At
least eight governors have been
sounded on the proposition. Some of
them are committed to the La Fol-
lette movement and do not want to
appear to desert him. Others are
more or less diffident The ex-gover-
nors who are figuring in the move
ment are said to be Franklin Fort OF
New Jersey and Wilson of Kentucky.
The governor of Delaware is taking
some interest in the movement, as is
the governor of New Hampshire.

May Be wIIIIna to Be Drafted.

The response which Col Roosevelt
will make to this invitation, accord
ing to men who appear to be more or
less familiar with the situation, will
not be discouraging to the promoters
of his candidacy He will reply, as
he has done heretofore, that he has
no hankering to be president again,
but that he is very much interested
in the success of the Republican
party and particularly desirous that
there should be no backward step in
the movement to carry out the
Roosevelt policies" He will say, ac-
cording to information received here,
that he has been signally honored by
the Republican party and that his
personal inclinations are decidedly
against returning to the activities OF
official life. But above all, he desires
the success of the Republican party.
and if there should appear to be
general demand for his nomination,
he is willing to be drafted.
This reply, if it should come forth
in the form in which it is now con-
ceived, will be equivalent to signal
to the Roosevelt men in every pre-
cinct to get busy and rope and brand
the delegates Col. Roosevelt is be-
ing showered with all kinds of ad-
vice
