man of the joint committee, who

the joint committee, stated that he
regarded Atlanta's chances as good.

SUPREME COURT TO
TAKE A VACATION
DOWN FROM JULY 10 TO
OCTOBER IL.

Special to The Nel0S.
Jackson, Miss, June 16.-The vaca-
ton period of the Mississippi supreme
court will begin on July 19 and con-
tinhe to October II, and no opinion
will be handed down during those three
months.
The last batch of decisions to be
given by the supreme court at this
term will be on Monday, July 10. 1t is
probable that on Monday, october II a
list of opinions will be handed down,
as it is highly probable that the judges
will consult on many cases during the
vacation period.
According to the statutes the SUI
preme court must sit nine months in
the year if the docket is so heavy as to
demand it. 1t is well known that the
Mississippi supreme court docket fair
ly groans beneath it's burden of appeals
from the lower courts. Last year the
three judges consulted frequently dur
ing their vacation, especially towards
the end, and were ready with a long
list of opinions when the supreme
court reconvened in October.
Judge Richard Reed plans to spend
at least a part of his vacation at his
old home in Natchez. Mrs. Reed ant
daughter, Miss Catherine Reed, went tt
Natchez last week, and will be JOINED
by Judge Reed as soon as the cour
takes its usual annual recess.
Chief Justice Sidney Smith has no
perfected plans for his vacation
though he may take trip north, as he
did last year. Judge Cook last summe
chose to spend most of his vacation
days quietly in Jackson, and this h
may do again this year.

WHY THE REPUBLIC WILL LIVE

DR.. Elliot, President Emeritus of
Harvard University, writes for the De-
lineator about some of the forces that
promised life to the American
Republic. He considers
federation in religion.
Universal education.
Better family life than that Of any
persisted republic.
Better and juster inheritance laws.
Extreme publicity in all activities.
Organization on large scale of cor
porations which "afford a new disci-
pline for thousands of managing or di
recting people,"
Besides, yet by no means in the last
place
Universal suffrage prolongs in the
United States the effect Of universal
education; for it stimulates all citizens
throughout their lives to reflect or
problems outside the narrow circle o.
their private interests and occupa
tons; to read about public questions
to discuss public characters, and t.
hold themselves ready in some degree
to give rational account of their pc
litical faith"

Simmons Says Rluers and
Harbors Bill Is Good One

Senate bill is upwards Of $53,O00,000
as against the House bill of $4,000, 900,
making the Senate>appear as having
raised the House upwards of ten mil
lions of dollars, the fact remains that
there are two continuing contracts
provided in the Senate bill aggregat-
ing about $6,O0O,OOO, which should not
be counted against the bill itself be-
cause the amounts necessary for these
continuing contracts will be taken care
Of from year to year in the sundry
civil bill.
ITO the lay mind, the amount of
money appropriated for the develop
ment Of the waterways and harbors
of the United States may seem large,
and yet, it is small when the needs
of the country, for better facilities in
transportation, are taken into consid
Grafton. 1t must not be forgotten In
this connection that the requirements
of commerce are greater than they
ever were before; there are more peo
pie in the nation asking cheaper
freights then there were decade ago
and the instrumentalities for reducing
rates and moving freights are beinf
demanded to larger extent than eve
before.

sufficient to relieve the drougthy con
ditions prevailing. There were on the
