presiding officers, despite the fact chat
an argument has been made to adjourn
on Friday, Feb. 20, in order to permit
the members to visit the Mississippi
coast and make personal inquiry into
the pending legislation relative to the
oyster industry.
1t so happens that Mardi Gras fes-
tivities will be under way in New Or
leans during the coming week, and this
event is always a strong drawing
card for the lawmakers. of course, the
adjournment on Friday will permit all
who desire to do so to get to the Cres-
cent City in time for the big events,
but goodly number of them will want
to make trips home before starting on
the gulf coast journey, which will
eventually carry a majority of them
into New Orleans.
Speaker H. NJ. Quin will be absent
from his post during the week, having
accepted an invitation to be one Of the
speakers at the Golden Jubilee of
Pythianism in Washington on Feb 10,
and he will leave Monday night for

Present indications are that there
will be very little doing in the way
of lawmaking around the state house

leaves of absence.

PART OF INTERNATIONAL PLAN
IN INTEREST OF EDUCATION
AND FINANCE.

At meeting of representatives OF
the various Protestant Home and For
eign Mission Boards of the United
States and Canada, held on March 10,
1918, decision was reached to engage
in a United Missionary Campaign for
the purpose of introducing more ade-
quate methods of missionary eouca-
ton and finance in the churches Of
North America, that they may dis
charge their full missionary obliga-
ton at home and abroad.
One feature of the campaign agreed
upon by the Central Committee is the
holding of series of interdenomina-
tional missionary conferences during
the winter of 1914 in all cities OF
$1,000 inhabitants and over by teams
composed of speakers of national and
international prominence, three or foul
of whom will visit each city where
such conference has been arranged
for. These conferences are under the
direction of the Laymens Missionary
Movement.
The pastors and laymen Of the Bap
fist, Presbyterian and Methodist
churches of Hattiesburg have arranged

ton to appoint special committee of
five senators to cooperate with the

special committee In order to provide
jurisdiction for contempt and to ex'
pedite the inquiry pending mandamus

Doubt as to the jurisdiction of the
Senate in the premises led to pro

on the resolution until today. Sen

he believed he would be able to con

Jack" from the celebrated work of
Alphonse Daubet, has been made into
very successful four-reel picture in
which one is reminded of the melan-
cholic charm and the painful and CON-
passionate nature of the novel itself,
in which the hero of the book and that
of the screen are really and truly
twin brothers. This four-part story
will be shown at the Lomo theatre
Monday, Feb. 16. The story of Jack
is we'll known. His life was one con
tinuous series of adventure, which
make a most thrilling picture, one of
the most startling of which is the sink
ing of the ship and his struggles in
mid ocean.

jects of extraordinary importance are
and in this instance there are
a number of bills in both houses that
will provoke lengthy debates and
much wrangling before they are final
ly disposed Of.
Appointments unconfirmed.
Although a sealed message was sent
from the executive office during the
first week of the session, the senate
has not yet held an executive session
for the confirmation of the judicial ap-
pointments made by Gov. Brewer in
vacation.
This is taken as deeply significant,
inasmuch as the political leaders in
both houses have shown a desire to
suppress all forms of factional wrang-
ling until all important business is
disposed of, and the holding up of the
Governors appointments is taken to
mean that they are going to be made
the subject of some pyrotachnics IN
which Gov. Brewers political enemies
will play prominent part.
AS for the Governor, he does not
seem to be especially worried over the
matter. In event any or all of the ap
pointments are not confirmed, he will
doubtless await until the close of the
session, and then appoint circuit

The two speakers were Parisians,
in the Latin quarter. They were re-
garding and speaking of Roslyn
Moore. Their brief colloquy had told
all the story there was to tell. Roslyn
Moore had remained amid the scenes
of the student life he loved so well,
although he could no longer view it's
points of interest nor scan the friend
ly faces Of his fellow bohemians.
Just now, cane in hand, he was
cautiously cropping his way down the
pavement leading away from the en-
trance to his hotel. He had not gone
ten steps when the ragged newsboy
at the corned stand ran up to him.
1t was to seize one arm gently and
with infinite, eager tenderness lead
the unfortunate across narrow alley
whence vehicle might appear at any
moment. The little gamin flushed
with pleasure. AS his duty ended
Moore thanked him with his sunny
smile and went on his way.
There was a race between the
street sweeper and the gendarme at
the next crossing as to which should
first reach Moore and guide him over
the crowded thoroughfare. Again
grateful thanks, and loyal hearts
ightened through kindly act.
There was a little breathing sDot of
a park square further on. 1t was
here that Moore spent a portion of his
day, usually surrounded by the poor
children from the near tenements.
His pockets were always stocked with
sous and sweetmeats, and he held
high court with the romping, lovable
group, to whom he told stories and
listened to their innocent prattle.
In order to reach the park Moore
had to cross a broad esplanade. At
