LEGISLATURE IS
IN LAST THROES
This Week viii Witness Close of the
Most Strenuous Session in
Years.
SpectdI to The Netos.

ST6Ctut W IHt A6USs
Jackson, Miss, March 4.-The leg
islature reached the beginning of the
end today, and both bodies started to
work this morning with a determine
ton to dispose of all pending business
as quickly as possible.
Some members are still of the opin
ion that it will be possible to reach
sine die adjournment this week by
holding three sessions daily, but this
idea does not generally prevail. 1t is
practically certain that the work will
not be closed until Saturday, March
18th
The joint steering committee ap-
pointed by the two houses last Satur-
day to direct the general trend of leg
islative business will probably hold
its first meeting this evening to map
out general policy. A conference Of
the members was held Saturday, chief
ly for the purpose of getting acquaint-
ed with the status of the house and
senate calendars.
A good deal of the local and private
legislation was cleared away during
the past week, and from now on the
lawmakers will give their attention al
most entirely to general legislation
and the revenue and appropriation
bills.
An examination of the calendars
shows that in reality very little bust
ness is pending that should provoke
lengthy debates. In other words, the
period for talking is past and hence
forth it will be hardest sort of work
The session has been protracted be
!. yond the period that a majority of the
= members believed necessary for thu
transaction of necessary business
Many thought that six weeks wer'
sufficient, and perhaps it would hav'
been had it not been for the trouble
some fact that a majority of the mem
bers are new and inexperienced
the business of lawmaking, and the
: have, metaphorically speaking, waste
much time in stumbling over each otf
. er's feet.
Incidentally, this newness and lac
' of experience furnishes the most log
cal explanation of why many drasti
y laws that have had favorable pros
u poets for passage early in the sessio
have gone down in defeat. The author
10 of proposed laws of this character, l
III many instances, simply didn't kno
o. how to push their measures through
and fell victims to the maneuverine
of more experienced men.
Hon. Oscar tombstone, Jr., chairma

" right-hand man of Gov. Brewer, and gel
" generally acknowledged to be the at
est members of the body, will not be

oe ed home by important legal bushes
at and much speculation is rife concer
~ ing the trend of legislation during h
er absence. Mr.. Johnston had expectt
Ill to remain on deck throughout the sc
sion, but the wounding of Hon. j.
Cutrer, of Clarksdale, in last Tue
days tragedy at that place makes
necessary for him to look after impol
ant litigation in which both are retail
4 ed as counsel.
n Chairman Stennis, of the ways al

dar of all revenue measures tn
week, and these bills will be rush

Joint conferences on the privilege u
law will probably be necessary.

Fifty Horses and Mules Have Been
Bought by Mr.. Dendinger for
This sale.

The Dendger auction sales of horses

cessful so far held.
The last auction of the season will

SPRING SONG.

Winter days are dreary,
Winter nights are long
Cometh March, and robin breaks
The silence with a song,
Cometh April, shine and shower
Freely forth to fling,
Breaking Beauty's slumber with
The tender touch of spring.
Winter days so dreary!
Winter nights so long,
And the sad heart is Swallowed
Still, spite of robins song;
April from the world may bid
Winter days depart,
Still its magic may not move
The winter of the heart.
Oh, We folks so dreary,
Brooding over wrong
Cast away your sadness when
You hear the robins song.
let the season to your souls
Mirth and music bring,
Let your hearts be radiant with
The sunshine of the spring.

The Harmon statement adds fur
