For National Hall of Fame.

Statues OF Jefferson Davis, Pres'-
dent OF the Confederacy, and General
James Il George, soldier and states
man, will be placed in the inches e.
served for Mississippi In the Hall OF
Fame IN the national capitol at WASH
ipgton If a hill that will be introduced
10 the Legislature by Senator A. u
Anderson is enacted into law.
The space set aside for the State OF
Mississippi in the National Hall OF
Fame has always been vacant. For
many years the majority of Missis>
sippians have favored placing a statue
OF jefferson Davis in the Hall OF Fame,
hut on account OF the prejudice
against the President OF the Conted-
eracy in the Northern States, it was
deemed best To wait until the feeling
against the Confederate chieftain In
the North subsidized to a certain ex
tent.
Relieving that the prejudice in thu
North has practically disappeared
Senator Anderson has decided to in
troduce the bill providing for TIT
statues OF Davis and George as sooI
as the Legislature convenes 10 Janu

Ben Davis.

Where now is old Ben Davis, that

angels save US from Ben and all his
fruit. In office and 10 chapel men

Mississippi pie hunters will nave IN
apply TO the head chef for their slice

tates that our two Senators cannot
agree upon distribution Of Federal

Senator Williams has thrown up the

Of the Mississippi patronage sqnahole
between himself and Senator Varda~
man Despairing after repeated un-
successful attempts to settle the ques-
lion to the satisfaction OF both Sen
ators he has told administration OH
cIals that he wanted them TO proceed
with appointing men to fill vacant
Offices in Mississippi.
~ am too good Democrat" Senator
Williams said, ito want to keep the
stu ,tion tied up, and have asked
the administration tn cut the gordiaI
knit. I am also too good Democrat
to fear the selections the present
Democratic administration is likely
to make. We have tried in vain to
set e this question ourselves. and it
Is Inc for the administration to take
acti n. have told them So"
IL cases of this kind it is the policy
of the administration to appoint,
through the Cabinet officers, Demo-
Gratis who are recommended by neither
Senator. To appoint the nominees OF
either Senator would he direct SLAP
To- the face OF the other Senator. abc
for this reason the administration en
deavors to select some good DemOcrai
| who was not nominated by either OF
them but who is not overly objection
able to either OF them.
The result will doubtless be thai
the failure Of Williams aud Vardam 81
TO agree On division OF the patronag'

their patronage.
Negotiations ia. writing still are he
ing conducted between the two Sen
ators, hut with small possibility %

10 take back seats and give the mcr'
