NIGHT SESSION

Al tho opening of the night session
OF the House Speaker Cox announced:
There have been reported from the
committees to-day two senate bills and
twenty nine House bills. II the House
approves of the proposition we shall
follow this program: The roll will be
called TO dispense with the reading OF
these bills, one roll call to suffice for
all. When a bill is reached To which
there Is objection. the bill will be
passed By temporarily Hearing no OBJ
lection 10 this line OF procedure. the
chair accepts it az Tn" rule OF the
House."
Among the bills in tho list read was
the measure appropriatinr $4,000 for
the uses Of the State Live Stock SAM
tary Board In the campaign for the
crradication OF the foot-and- mouth d.
sease ia cattle. Wne, this bill was
reached Delegate Bonifant asked that
II be passed by, desiring further in
formation. but later withdrew his re-
quest.
Most Of the measures we're of purely
local character. One OF tho first bills
passed by was Judge Roger r Gregory's
measure providing for Il nat compen-
sation OF $50 for each member attend
ing the sessions since last Monday.
APPROPRIATION FOR
FOoT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE
Judge Williams explained the foot
appropriation At some
length. The Governor had recommend
ed an appropriation of 100000. but the
committee had curtailcd il TO 100000
because of the fact that the Federal
government contributes almost as large
sum for the purposes of the cam
paign against the disease. He urged
the appropriation OF the full amount
asked by the Governor
Delegate Jordan spoke along the
same lines. Mr.. Weaver thought the
appropriation should be made In the
interest of economy. To permit the
further spread of the disease he said.
would entail expenditures the extent OF
which could not now be estimated
Judge Gregory said he would sup
port the measure If provision was
included protecting the state from pay
ment to the owners of infected and
condemned cattle in cases where the
owner had Insured his stock
Mr.. Jordan Informed him that there
was no insurance of the character men
toned carried by any farmer or cattle
raiser in this State. Lindsay Gordon,
of Louisa, said he was convinced that

the Governor had become unduly eN-
cited over the situation. He thought
the veterinarians had worked upon the
Governors fears and heightened his APP
prchcnsions beyond what the situation
justified. Mr. Gordon said the disease
had broken out I'm Louisa few years
ago. Some OF the animals were
badly affected that tho hoofs dropped

disease disappeared without the as

WOULD LIMIT AUTHORIZATIONS
TO ASSESSED VALUATION
Replying to question by Judge
Gregory. Mr.. Gordon said
The state has ample authority to de-
stroy the infected cattle without COM
pensatinE the owner If that method is
necessary to stamp out the disease. At
the same time | would like to see
;he owners of such cattle reimbursed
for their loss The state can better
bear the loss than the individual. But

don. 1t Is not necessary as Il meas

Petition for Pardon.

To His Excellency, Hon. Earl Brewer,
Governor, Jackson, Mississippi.
Dear Sir:
We, the undersigned citizens of Gre
NADIA county, Mississippi, respectfully
pray that you pardon one Ben Bland.
colored, who was convicted of rape on
the person of a negro woman in this
county at the January term of the
Circuit Court, 1906. There are certain
facts and circumstances connected with
the case that at the time of BANDS
conviction shrouded the affair in doubt
and especially made many white people
seriously doubt his guilt. Since his in
generation. he has made a good pris-
oner and is getting old and feeble. 1t
will not be long, should he remain in
prison, before he becomes a charge on
the state, all of these things being con.
sidered. we think that the ends of JUS
tice has been met and most respectfully
ask that you issue pardon for him.

Petition for Pardon
To His Excellency, Hon. Earl Brewe,

70 his Excellency, Hon. Earl Brewer,
Governor, jackson, Mississippi:
We, the undersigned citizens Of Gre
nada county, respectfully petition your
Excellency that you pardon Sam Beck,
convicted at the January term of the
Circuit Court of this county in the year
1910. We are of the opinion that had
anyone taken any interest in the cause
of this negro that he never would have
been convicted. He submitted his case
to the Court and took a sentence for
manslaughter. He killed the other
negro about his (Sam's) wife; the kill
ing occurred in Beck's yard and the
other negro was armed at the time.
Had the affair been between white
people we do not believe the courts
would ever have taken cognizance of
the case at all. Up to this time, the
time of the killing, Beck had been a
good, Woodworking negro and had never
before been in trouble of any kind.
For quite a long while he has been one
of the TRUSTEES at Parchman farm,
and as we understand has made a we'll
behaved, obedient prisoner and we be-
lieve the ends of justice would be
served and that you would be rendering
a good service by giving him his liberty
and we most respectfully urge that you
do SO. Very respectfully,
R. V. Mason.
