CHARGES FOUND BASELESS
w. C.. BULLOCK WILL BE SUBJECT
OF A LUNACY INQUIRY.
Has Been Making Sensational Allega'
tons Concerning the Management
of the Confederate Home.
- Senator Money Reports.

Jackson.-W. c. Bullock, the Conied-
crate veteran WHO some months ago pre-
ferred all sorts of ugly charges against
the management of the Confederate SOL
diers' Home at Beauvoir, to such ex-
tent that the board of trustees ielt
impelled to make an investigation, which
was done, with the result that Bullocks
charges were held to be untrue, ana ne
himself declared unworthy OF the home
and protection which it afforded.
Some time in January Bullock wrote
a letter to Gov. Brewer and to several
members of the house and senate, III
which he repeated his former charges
of several persons who, he claimed
would s~ubstamtiate everything, which lie
had charged. Thercupon Gov. Brewer
referred this matter, with the CORE
spondence, to the new board OF trustees,
requesting that they give the matter
thorough investigation, which the board
proceeded to do. After this investlg''
ton the trustees reported that none OF
the persons whose names as wltneSscs
had been referred to them had testified
to anything that would tend to sustain
the charges, and reported UNANIMOUSLY
the charges to be without foundation.
Mr.. Bullock then wrote a lengthy let
ter to the governor, renewing his charges
and denouncing the home, its manage
ment and everything generally, offering
a copy of this same letter to newspapers
in the state, which declined to publish 1t.
Senator Money took up the matter
and went carefully and methodically into
the case, and he reported to Gov. Brewer
on the strength of his inquiry, that the
statements OF Bullock are libelous and
wholly and utterly without foundation
With this report on his desk, Gov
Brewer has communicated with District
Attorney Ebb j. Ford and Chancellor
Thad Wood. of the coast district, re-
questing that they inquire into Bnllock's
sanity.

CAN GET NO PASSES.
Railroad Commission Pestered by Pass
REQUESTS.


Jackson.-The railroad commission
gave out the following signed statement
today:
To the Public:
We have received many requests from
our friends throughout the state ask
ing our intervention in their behalf of
securing for themselves annual passes
over the railroads operating in this
state.
In order that our friends may ap-
preciate our situation in regard to this
subject, we take this method of infom-
ing them Of the law appertaining to this
matter, and our duties in relation there
to.
There is a prohibition in regard to any
public officer of the state of Mississippi
receiving from any corporation or pub
lie carrier any gift, gratuity, or emolu-
ment. If it were possible for us to
procure for our friends such privileges
such action upon our part would be a
dereliction of the official power reposed
in us by the statutes creating this i'm
| portant branch of our state government
Besides this, there is a federal law
controlling this subject, that prohibit
the use OF passes by individuals not con
nected with the employment of rail
| roads.

Years Sleep In Prison.

A remarkable case Of lethargy is re.
ported from one of the towns in South
Russia. A certain Moisselyinko was
put on his trial in March of last year
on the charge of having committed an
armed robbery, but in the midst of the
proceedings he dropped to the floor in
what was supposed at the time to be a
fainting fit, but which afterward
proved a lethargic sleep.
In this condition the prisoner has
lain till March 8 Of the present year.
He has evidently been all the time in
complete possession Of his wits. but
was unable to move a limb, open his
eyes or take food. When his eyelids
were raised the pupils could be seen,
and he was all the time fed by arti-
fetal means.
During his sleep he has lost some
weight, but he has kept throughout
the external appearance of a mar in
ormal and healthy sleep.

NettIes az Substitute for Cotton.

NettIes as Substitute for Cotton.
The search for a cotton substitute
has been going on in Europe for a
long time, and many experiments
have been made with the common net
tie, which has been a promising plant
on account Of the strength of it's fiber
and its ready growth wild under the
most Encouraging conditions, with a
large yield per acre. The great diff
Guilty has been in separating the fiber
from the woody stem. In a method
of treatment that has been worked out
in the last two or three years, the
dried nettle stems are boiled about
half an hour in dilute soda I've, and
the loosened fibers are then separated
in a machine with revolving brushes.
The material Is then subjected to a
number of alternate boilings in dilute
I've and thorough washings, both un-
der high pressure. The product is a
mass Of yellowish fibers, free from
gum, that can be b~leached, combed.
and spun into l~ustrous white yarn.
This is claimed to have the smooth
ness and softness of fax, with a
strength even greater than that Of
hemp. The yarn has been made into
brilliant damask. and can be used
alone or with other threads-for up
holsteries, ribbons, and a variety Of
fabrics.

delegates of the United Daughters OF

dent OF the state chapter, delivered the

ferent lines of their work than at any
other time in the history of the Or
gani1ation.
Mrs. Rose complimented the differ
ent chapters on the efficient work that
they had done during the past year,
stating that through the new member
ship contest that the president had
organized. over 500 new members had
been enrolled on the membership list
OF the organization.
Each division of the organization
showed a marked improvement in their
Work ana a new INTEREST mas peeu '"No'

Confederate veterans at Beauvoir, and
TO start a vigorous campaign for the
preservation of the old state house at
Jackson
These measures will be urged through
ont the whole year and every effort
possible will be made to get the legis-
lsture to pass a bill regarding the
preservation of the old state house.
The members were also called on to

MISSISSIPPI BAR MEETING.
Many Acts Passed by tie Legislature
Branded as Unconstitutional.

Jackson.-A remarkable, bold and Wig
orous criticism of the statutes enacted
by the legislature at its last session was
set forth in the annual address deliv-
cred by President a. f. Fox, of the Mis-
sissippi Bar Association, a, the session
of that body.
President Fox points out several laws
enacted by the body that are clearly I'M
constitutional.
President Fox commended the spirit
of the new statute prohibiting corpora.
tions from acquiring large bodies or
lands in the state, presumably for agri-
cultural purposes, but holds that the
statute should have accomplished the
same limit by prescribing a maximum
OF lands that may be owned by corpora.
tions.

MISTAKE, BUT WORKED WELL
UnintentionalIy Friendly Letter to
BuIIet-Proof Debtor Brought Quick
Results From Him.

A lawyer who had drifted out Of the
regular line into a collection practice
dictated so many dunning letters every
day that he had his stenographer sign
them and would himself read over the
carbon copies the following day II he
thought it necessary. He had another
bad habit, which was that as 1t came
to the close of a day and he had be-
come weary Of nagging people he
would grow facetious and instead Of
debating the names of the debtor prop
erly would vary the monotony by say
ing Dearest Skin" or Darling Mr..
Smith," knowing that his stenog-
rapher, having the correspondence
before her, would I'LL in the proper
name.
1t CHANGED that she, like most good
stenographers, decided to get mar
ried. and she brought her sister into
The office to succeed her. The first
full day of dictation that the attor'
aey put in after the sisters advent
.hanced to be one of his humorous
mes, and he started a letter to a bull
let proof debtor named Samuel Smith
Dear Sammy" and then proceeded to
.ell Sammy" his opinion OF him. The
aext morning, on looking over the car
bon copies, he was Mortified to find
the new st~enographer had typed that
letter exactly as it was dictated and
sent it out in the mail the night be
icre.
All that day the attorney expected
Mr.. Samuel Smith to show up with
fire in his eye and a pistol in his hand
Re shivered when the Office door open
ed and he left for home very early IL
the afternoon. The next morning, how
ever, he received a letter from Sam
my" which started of Dear Billy
(the lawyers given name being Wi
liam), and which went on to say, 81
you had addressed me in such friend
ly style before you would have hat
the money sooner" and Enclosed wa
"Sammy's" check for the who'll
account.
The new method had brought graft
flying results, but the attorney did no
dare to adopt 1t as a regular praC
tice; on the contrary, his dictatiol
since has been notable for Its e1
actitude,
