Borrower Afraid.

A borrower OF one having business

windows, designed to make him feel
that his commercial life was hanging

of those days was Of necessity a man
of mature wears With pompous bear"
ing, q generous supply of whiskers, and
around wnom there was an imaginary
circle into which the ordinary person
must not lntrude. the idea o. calling
attention by advertising to the facs
that there was banking institution
of particular name in existence would
have been against all form Of financial
etiquette. Neither was the matter OF

TO FIGHT EFFORT TO
ABANDON FEE SYSTEM

An effort will be made at the next
legislative session to abolish the fee
system in the Offices of chancery
clerks, sheriffs, tax collectors and
circuit clerks.
A measure of this character has
been presented at each biennial ses-
sion for several years, but received
very little se.ious consideration, be-
ing usually defeated In the commit
tee rooms.
The present movement, however,
is understood to have a strong back
ing and a bill is being framed pro-
vided for a graduated scale of salaries
for these offices, based on population
and present fees collected that will
give fair compensation to the sheriff
chanoery and circuit clerks,
The sheriffs of the state have an
organization and will probably make
a strong fight against the bill. Hos=
tility is also expected from incumb=
ents of other county ofiices.-Bay

SEEK EMANCIPATION
FOR TRUCKGR0WERS

Since Congressman Harrison and
Quin have interested themselves in
behalf of the truckgrowers of Miss
issippi the hope is expressed that
tNty will succeed in having a COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
marketing, selling and transporting
OF truck crops, remarks the Crystal
Springs Meteor. Some means must
be adopted by the general govern.
ment to protect the vast interest IN
volved from a system of spoilaton
that is destroying one Of the most
promising industries Of the South.
The gfower is barely compensated
for his outlay and risks; the con-
sumer is robbed by prices that are
extortonate. Who gets the five
hundred per cent profit over the
price the growers receive must be
ferreted out and exposed. SINCE tie
vegetable mavenent out of the state
has attained an immense volume, the
stealage becomes appalling. There
ought to be some relief from this
condition Of affairs and it is hoped
that Congress in the interest of
growers throughout the entire coun-
try will afford this relief, or at least
inform the people how best to cir.
eumvent the designs of the harpies
who prey and grow fat upon the-in-
dustry OF helpless class of Citizens.

WOULD AMEND LAW
AS TO WITNESSES
Judges Propose Husbands and
Wives Be Permitted to Tes-
tify Against Each Other,

jackson. Miss, Aug 21.-Durine
the conference of judges and chan
cellors at the Capitol, Judge w. A,
Heny, chairman of the committee on
criminal procedure, submitted a re-
port calling for a score of reforms,
among them one to the effect that
husbands and wives should be re-
Qured to testify for and against each
other. Under the present rules of
procedure this is not permitted in
Mississippi, and more than one of
tie judges present mentioned Incl
dents of their careers on the bench
when it was absolutely necessary to
place the wife on the witness stand
to testify for or against the husband
or vice versa,
Judge E. E. Brown of Natchez told
OF case in his district not long ago
where a husband and father was
charged with a horrible abuse of his
young daughter. The wife and
mother knew the facts and was more
than willing to testify against the de-
fendant, but under tie law she was
not permitted to do so.
Justice Reid took hand in the
discussion OF this particular recon-
mendation, but was careful to im-
press on the other Judges present
that he would not express an opinion
one way or the other. However, he
advised that such radical changes in
the laws procedure should approach
ed with great eaution-there being
two sides to every question. But
the majority favored the change aad
it is among the several other matters
that will be recommended to the
next legislature.

GIRL GIVES STRANGE
STORY OF KIDNAPPING
Rose Scott, Barefooted, Says She
Was Lured Away By a Mid
dIe.Aged Man.

Laurel, Miss Aug. 21.-Rose
Scott, a 12-year-old country girl,
barefooted and scantly attired, is
being detained at the home of Sheriff
Luther Hill. and the sensational
story which she related to the sheriff
and reporter Sunday evening is
being investigated.
The little girl, who appears to be
innocent and unsophisticated, ap-
peared at the home Of a prominent
Fifth Avenue family Sunday and
asked for drink of water. She
carried bundle of clothing under
her arm and appeared to be worn
and tired. She was invited into the
house and questioned by members
of the house and questioned by
members Of the family, whereupon
she related a sensational story Of
having been kidnapped from the rome
of her widowed mother at Wealth
erbv, Miss, and brought to Laurel,
from which place she was carried a
distance of four or five miles into
the country by middle-aged man
who lives with his aged mother and
whose name is Lee. The child
knew the man by no other name
and could not indicate positively as
to what direction from the city he
lives.
Her mother, she says, is a singer,
and the man told her that she was
leaving Weatherby for California.
In addition to the bundle Of pictures,
numbering a dozen or more, two o.
which she said were Of her father and
mother. The pictures show refine
mant in staggering contrast to the
of the girl.
According to the girl's story, she
has been detained at the farm near
Laurel for some time, but she can
not estimate this in days and weeks.
She claims to have slipped away
from her captor about daylight Sun
day morning and ives on her way
to Taylorsvlle, where her mother
once told her she had an uncle
named Walters.

w. A. White declared he was not
prepared to accept the figures as
correct, and stated it as his belief

increase in taxation of from SIS, 900
to $50, 900 year. He said Biloxi
