Mr.. Nabors introduces Resolution
Which Declares That Present indis-
Greet Fashions are Responsible for
Large Percentage Of immortality.

Jackson, Feb. 1S.-After two hours /
debate lower house adopted the report |
of conference committe on the Kyle |
banking BILL. and the measure now
goes to the governor for his signature.
Mr.. Johnson, of Coahoma, made a
valiant but unsuccessful fight to have
the guarantee of deposit clause be-
come effective October 1st, next year,
instead of May 18th as agreed upon by
the committee. His amendment was
lost by vote of 81 to 5S. The house
then adopted the conference report
| 80 to Is.
The senate devoted the day chiefly
to appropriation bills reported by the
finance committee. The Boddie bills,
regulating taxation in the lower dis
trict were passed. A favorable re-
port was made by the judiciary COM
mittee on the McLaurin bill prohibit
ing negro preachers from acting as
agents of fraternal life insurance con
y Germs.
An appeal by the legislature to the
women of Mississippi to be more mod
est in their dress was set forth in g
resolution introduced in the house
this afternoon by Mr. Nabors, of Al
corn. and left pending on the calendar
for debate.
The resolution declares that thu
present indiscreet fashion in dress
worn by women on the public thor
oughfares and in public places is re
sponsible for a large percentage o
the immortality INDUCED in by tn
' sexes.
The Pharmacy Bill.
The Mississippi Pharmaceutical AS
sociation is making a desperate effor
4 to resurrect Senate Bill No. 1S1, de-
feated in the house few days since
after it had passed the senate by
practically unanimous vote.
The pharmacists claim that tn
house did not give due considerable
to the measure, or make an effort
: become acquainted with its provision
:, There was only small working qu'
, rum in the chamber when the bill wa
called up, and it was defeated in
= very decisive manner, many of tn
g members believing that its true Il
- tent was to prevent the sale of pater
,s medicines and drugs in bulk in cou
w try stores where registered pharm
N cists are not employed.

40 cular letter to its members urgir

Obituary.

Under any and all circumstances,
death is sad, but II is doubly so when
1t comes into home and lays its
cold end Icy hand upon one who is so
ihncii the idol anl pct OF the entire
family and friends as was, the case
with Vernon Monroe Martin, the five
years and six months old son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. M. Martin, who depart
cd this life at 100 o'clock Friday,
September 25, 1914. Little Vernon
had been &. sufferer for four years
with spasm3 and when he was seized
with typhoid fever it was known
from. the first, that his was dcs-
perate cage. The fond parents have
the cong0latioh of knowing that with
him 1t Is we'll, willie the little boy
rests In the family cemetery by the
side of grandfather and grandmother
the little spirit has taken it's flight
back to the God who gave it where
1t is swcetly resting in the arms q
Jesus who said, Suffer little child
rem and forbid them not TO como un-
to me for such is the kingdom of
Heaven.
Dear parents, in this your sad
bereavement look not with a despair
ing eye upon the future but put your
trst In Him "who docth all things
we'll" and when the last trump shall
sound you shall be gathered together
around the bright and beautiful
throne of God in one grand reunion
where all will be free from pain and
anguish and where no more sad fare
wells shall be known.
Dear Vernon now has. left us n
our loss We deeply feel. But 'tis God
that has bereft us. lie will all our
sorrows heal.
f'o has left this world of sorrow,
Ncvcrmore to walk alone.
In the dreafy, pnths of darkness,
But has gone to brighter home.
He was loved by all who knew him,
Yes the idol Of his home,
But God saw fit to take him
To help adorn his blessed throne.
Would we call him back? No, never,
For he shines in5hcaven above,
Where he'll rest in joy forever
With the FntheE whom we love
No. nc, we loved little Vernon.
Too well to wish him here, 4
For he has Joined the Heavenly choir.
And we ought not to shed tear.

to "Buy-a-Bale" Here.
(From Wednesdays Daily

Two we'll known Northern business
houses have agreed to lend their nil
In the "Buy-A-Bale" movement which
has been launched for the purpose of
helping the cotton farmers of the
South.

Company. yesterday received a letter
from that company In which the big
firm instructed him to buy bale
Of Anderson cotton for them Mt 10

pound.

GOVERNMENT PREPARING
TO MAKE UP DEFICIENCY
TO TAX LIQUORS
Caucus Has Struck Out Automo-
bile Sales Tax, Which Would
Have Yielded $1O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, Oct. G.--LiIuors would
bear the heaviest burden Of the $l0D,-
100000 war revenue tax rs Il l.; be-
ing revised by the caucus OF Senate
Democrats which began work today
on the dhance committees draft OF
tho bill
Tho first action Of tho caucus was
to vote an increase In the proposed
extra tax on beer from 20 cents to
Is cents barrel. to make the to-
tai tax SITE n barrel, with II draw
back OF 8 per cent for purchase
of revenue stamps in advance
The amendment urged by Senator
Williams, OF Mississippi. was car
ricd by large majority after SEN
ator Stone had made vigorous
speech against It. A special revenue
tax on rectifiers OF distilled spirits of
five cents n gallon also was adopted.
Together the proposed taxes on IL
'squors would yield an annual revenue
OF moro than $50,000.000.
Democrats nf the finance committee
had agreed to tho unuse tax of $1.5O
q barrel on beor whic. would yield
at so cents over The .::o-.. tax, nr
added revenue of $32.5GO.0.
ally. The further addition ~ .4r
q barrel by the Senate Democa. ts
would yield anu::snr s1G,0UD. .c33. With
the five per cent discount for prompt
payment figured. the least to be de-
rived from beer would bo appYoxi-
mately $46,0O0.00O.
The proposed tax OF five cents a
gallon on rectiflcd spirits, treasury
experts estimate, would yield $5.000.-
900. Thus the total to be derived from
) liquors would be more than half tho
anticipated treasury deficit caused by
tho European war. :
When the caucus convened the first
amendment ocered was by Senator
{ Williams to increase the levy on bcor
to- $1.75 d barrel. Senator Hollis. Of
New Hampshire, moved, MS substi-
I tute that the tax be made SO bar
rel. This was voted down after pro-
longed debate.
Before any votes were taken; hosy-
( eypyy there was general dtscussison
: OF the proposed tax OF one cent a
1 gallon On gasoline. the SO cont horse
: power TAX on autompbile sales, and
the Hoaise bill tax OF SO a ahousand on
bank capital and surplus. Numerous
atnenaH,sais wsre offered wii!css were
diseased in detail at the night ses-
sion. Il
After discussion. tho caucus struck
out the automobile snles tax which,
n is, estfmnteA would have raised
about Sl0,000.UO
The caucus also revised the tax oD
: banking capital.
As framed by the Senate commit 10

JUST RETURNING
FROM WAR ZONE
Arthur McGere, Who Left Paris
On August 80, Tells of What
He Saw in the Old World.
(From Wednesdays Daily.

\fhoH VCuucauuy 3 DAlty.
AN interesting visitor to Anderson
recently was Arthur McGerc OF Allan
tn, who has Jus. returned from a
trip abroad. He tells number of
interesting stories of what he saw
while In Germany and France and
describes In u berry bibid manner the
hardships which he was forced to un-
dergo.
Fir. McGero sayn that he was liz
Paris when the war broke out and lie
made 1T once for Switzerland utter
finding that he could secure no pass
ports In Paris. He caught q train
which ordinarily makes tho TRIP -
Berne In nine hours, yet he was on
the way over So hours on this trip
and said that the discomforts were
awful. He had forethOught enough
to provide himself with 1S hard-boil..
ed eggs and u goodly supply of rolls
before he started on the Journey and
he says that he would hnhe suffered
terribly from hunger had hesnot pro-
vided himself with. the food.
He narrates that; coming home on q
steamer conditions wery as bad as
they had been in the foreign countries.
He could not secure q state room and
was forced to eieep In steamer chair
on deck coming home and together
with some several hundred other pas
sengcrs, over 200 OF whom were wo-
men, he spent each night on the open
deck. ~
Mr.. McGere says that there are three
possibilities for an early ending OF the
war and only three that he could aee
nfter m'lking investigations before his
departure. He says that either the
entrance of Italy into the conflict, the
elimination Vi Austria Or the aasassf-
nation OF tho Emperor and Grown
Prince OF German would terminate
the ware-faro. He does not see any
possibilities Of an early conclusion o!
the war except these. ~. *
