Witt Adams pisa

Writ Adams, state revenue agent OF
Mississippi since 1886, and the Oldest
state official in period of continuous
service, died at the Baptist hospital
Death followed an operation for APP
pendicitis. Physicians realized, after
the operation was performed, that it
had been too long delayed. The pa
tient rallied splendidly, however, and
was apparently on the road to recov'
cry, when auto-intoxication set In.
Mr.. Adams was but recently con-
valescent from a dangerous attack OF
acute Bright's disease with which he
was seized while returning from a trip
to Panama, and for several weeks he
lowered between life and death. After
a trip to Battle Creek, where he was
under treatment of the most skilled
physicians in America, Mr.. Adams
gained strength rapidly, and was ap-
~parently restored to his former health
and vigor until seized with the attack
of appendicitis one week ago. His
many personal friends noted with
qualification his steady gain OF
strength, and were both surprised and
alarmed when they learned that it had
been found necessary to perform a
surgical operation.
State Revenue Agent Writ Adams
was the dean of Mississippi's state Of
ficials, having been continuously In Of
flee since 1868, when he was appointed
as the successor of his father, the late
Gen. Writ Adams, by Gov. Robert
Lowry. He was twice %reappointed by
| Gov. John M. Stone, and his first cleo
tive term commenced In 1896. when
the office of revenue agent was made
elective. He was reelected without
opposition in 1899, 1903 and 1907, and
in 1911 again elected owe one oppo-
nent, William Reeves, Jr., the latter
carrying only three or four counties.
Mr.. Adams was serving his twenty
seventh year in office at the time OF
his death, and during this period he
collected back taxes and ~defalcations
due the state amounting to not less
than $1,000, 900. He was of distin-
guished ancestry. HIS father, Gen.
Writ Adams, organized the First Mis-
sissippi cavalry, and in 1863 was pro-
NOTED to brigadier-general. President
Jefferson Davis rendered him a cabi-
net commission in the Confederate
government, but he declined, prefer
ring service in the field. His grand
father, George Adams, was United
States circuit judge for Mississippi
from 1886 to 1889.

jackson,
AS outlined by him in his notice to
the depositors and assignees of the
Commercial Bank & Trust company
of Brookhaven, Chancellor P. q. Jones
appointed three commissioners to
make an investigation Of the affairs
of the bank at this time and then sub
NIT their recommendation to hin, for
final action, looking to the best inter-
est of all of the parties in Interest.
Allen Thompson of Jackson was ap-
pointed as the attorney DR.. w. l..
Terrell of Magnolia as the banker, and
W. P. Wildberger of C%larksdale as the
expert accountant, and the appoint
ment takes effect at Aonce, and 1t is
hoped that these gentlemen will get
together as soon as possible and COM
plete the investigation, so that the
matter may be disposed of in the
shortest possible time. This action
on the part of the chancellor was
brought about by the dissatisfaction
existing among the depositors and the
defunct bank over the administration
of its affairs by the assignees named
for the bank by the directors who
made a general assignment for the
benefit of it's creditors on January 5
The depositors have had several mass
meetings relative to the matter and
have adopted several resolutions, even
going to the extent of appointing a
committee to demand the resignation
of the ~assignees, who refused, how
ever, to resign. This action of Chan
cellor Jones has been taken after ma
ture deliberation in an effort to settle
the differences now existing between
the bank officials and the depositors
and it is hoped will bring about the
desired effect.

Will Review Laws.

VIII HCVlGW EdWS.
The constitutionality of the new
May-Mott-Lewis anti-liquor law will
be argued before the supreme court
on Tuesday, May, 10.
Appeal was taken from the decree
of Chancellor Thomas at Vicksburg
giving permanent injunctions against
the enforcement of. the gallon1at-a-
time clause, and a motion made by
appellants to advance the case on the
supreme court docket, making it a
preference cause, has been granted.
The court then named May 10 for
arguments.
This means that the legal questions
involved will be finally disposed Of
before the adjournment of the present
term of the supreme court. Having
made it a preference action, the tri-
bunal will no doubt render a decision
as quickly as possible.
While the appeal is from the decis-
ion of Chancellor Thomas, it is prob
able that a hearing will be given at
the same time to the appeal from the
decision of Chancellor Denton, at
Clarksdale, declaring the locker club
clause unconstitutional, thus allowing
all ~controverted points to be disposed
of in one decision.

Pathetic Climax to Failure.


L. Foot, president of the defunct
Mississippi State bank at Canton, has
turned over to the receivers deeds
converting all of his real and personal
property to the instituting, leaving
self and family penniless.
In a pathetic letter addressed to
the depositors, the former president,
who for thirty years was n Of the
leading financiers of the state, states
he is going to seek refuge in the SOL
diers' home at Hampton. Va, in order
that he can give to his wife his meager
pension of SIS per month for her sup
port.
The receivers agree to allow MIR.
Foot $50 per month for support out
of the income of his property until 1t
can be sold for benefit OF the banks
creditors.
Physicians state that Mr.. Foot is in
a critical physical condition, and fear
that he can survive but a short time
After the closing of the bank he went
to his home In Canton and did not ap-
pear on the streets until the day Of
his departure for the soldiers home
Five years ago his personal fortune
was estimated at a half million dol
lars.
