OPPOSITION TO
SANDERS BILL
MEASURE SEEKS TO PLACE PUB
Lie UTILITIES UNDER SUPER
VISION r. r. COMMISSION.

Jackson. Miss, Feb. 23.-The
will give final hearing Tuesday
afternoon to the Sanders bill seeking
to place municipal utilities under the
supervision of the railway commits
sion.
The measure has attracted consid-
cradle attention because of the rather
sensational charge made by the city
officials of Vicksburg against State
Senator Hal w. Sanders that the bill
was inspired by M. o. Crumpler, man.
ager of the Vicksburg waterworks
plant and is framed for the express
purpose of prolonging private owner
ship of the water franchise in that
/ city.
Senator Sanders has neither spe
cifically denied or affirmed the charge
but it is expected that he will have
something to say on the subject al
the meeting of the committee Tues
day afternoon. M. o. Crumpler has
been in Jackson for several weeks
lobbying for the bill, dozens of legis
lators stating that they have been ap
preached by him on the subject
Aside from the opposition manifest
ed by Vicksburg, dozens of protest:
are coming from other cities of thu
state, declaring that they are quit,
capable of managing their own affairs
without the aid, assistance or interfer
ence of the railroad commission.
viii Force The Fighting.
A clash in the senate over the ques
tion of holding an executive session
to consider the judicial appointment
made by Gov. Brewer since the 191.
session is the principal legislativ,
event in prospect for the curren
week
Il The scrap may not be precipitate,
until the middle of the week, when al
members have returned from thei
outing spent either at their homes, o
the Mardi Gras festivities in New OF
leans.
Governor Brewers friends in tn
senate, it is understood, will force tn
fighting by making demand for tn
executive session, and unless the Go,
ernor's opponents yield they will b
asked point blank to explain in ope
session why they are opposed to COZ
firming the judicial appointments.
Gov. Brewer has not yet named th
successor of Judge w. A. Henry, {
this district, whose term expires ne,
month, and it is understood that b
will not do so until something deflnit
is determined relative to the electio
judiciary bill.

A TRIP ACROSS THE
ATLANTIC

What happens on a voyage across the Atlantic? How do the pas scugers amuse themselves through the week or more of life on ship board? How are they housed and fed and otherwise cared fer? What are the novel and interesting things they see on a great modern pas seuger ship? These are questions that must occur to everyone who has never made an ocean journey. The best way to answer them is by pictures that tell the whole story and this is what is done in the April number of Popular Mechanics Magazine. 4 remarkable series of illustrations covering seven pages of that magazine serve to give a clearer idea of the daily life and routine of a sea voyage than could be conveyed by any number of words These illustrations are from photo graphs made on board the "Impar- ator," the largest vessel that has ever sailed the seas, and tell half of the story or a voyage in that vessel. The remainder of the story is to be told in picture form in the May number of the magazine.

B0Y SCOUTS
 ORGANIZED

An organization that bids fair to be one of the greatest in the world is The Boy Scouts of America Ideas originated in the United States were used by Sir. Robert s. S. Baden-Poweu of Great Britain, where in an incredibly short time there were hundreds of thousands of boys enrolled; and the spread of the movement throughout Germany, France, Italy, Autralia, New Zea- land Canada, South America, and China, has brought together more than 100000 boys. It is neither military in thought, form, or spirit, though it does instir in boys the military virtues, such as Life Say ing, Tracking, signaling, Nature Study, Seamanship, CampcraGt, Noodcraft, ChivaIry, Patriotism and other subjects.
 Before becoming a member the applicant promises:
 ON MY HONOR TWILL DO MY BEST:
 1st. To do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the scout Law;
 End. To help other peocIe at all times;
 3rd.- To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and nor ally straight;
 The following is THE SCOUT LAW.
 l. A Srout is trustworthy.
 2. A Scout is loyal.
 8. 4 Scout is helpful
 4. A Scout IS friendly.
 8. A Scout is courteous.
 6. 4 scout is kind.

 S. A Scout is cheerful!
 g. A Scout is thrifty.
 10. A Scout is brave.
 II. A Scout is clean.

 The Boy Scouts recognize the religious element in the training of a boy. but is absolutely non-sec- ,arim in it's attitude toward that religious training.
