the extra session last week and
was passed by a unanimous vote:

made upon the character of our

and unjustifiable. therefore.
Resolved By The Senate, That
our association with Senator Rus

would be guilty of conduct unbe-
coming a good citizen, and an
honor able member Of the Bar,
and no charges made against
him can impair the confidence

1t will be recalled that disbar-
ment proceedings have been filed
against Senator Russell before
the Federal Court IN Oxford.
The purpose being to disbar him
from further practice of law be-
fore the courts in this state. The
charge against him is alleged
un-professional conduct etc., but
it is characterized by Mrs.
Thompson. editor of the Oxford
Eagle, as a distardly attempt to
assasslnate the character Of Sem
ator Russell for mean, selfish
and political purposes. And it
looks to. any outsider as if she
has hit the case about right.
