of his boyhood. Let us hope for a
good account of the trip when Mr..

SPECIAL CHANCERY COURT
TERN THIS WEEK.

Chancellor Joe May came down
from Sumner Monday morning
and convened the special term of
chancery court in order to re-
lleve the chancery docket of the
cases that were not disposed of
at the recent regular October
Term.
No cases of special interest
were taken up, the congested
condition of the docket being
caused by several contested cases
at the regular term in October,
which consumed considerable
time, and necessitated this special
term to give proper attention to
routine work.
The special term did not con-
sumo the whole week, but has
placed the docket in good shape,
and cleaned up all the cases that
could at present be given a
hearing.
Chancellor May is making a
splendid record on the bench,
fully coming up to the expecta-
tons of his many friends.

ELKS MEMORIAL SERVICES.

| The annual memorial service
of Greenwood Lodge No. 854, B.
IP. O. Elks, in honor of the de-
parted brothers, were held Sun
day afternoon, at three o'clock, at
the Greenwood Theatre, a large
audience gathering to hear the
special music and the eulogies.
The services were of a most
impressive character, ably pre-
sided over by Exalted Ruler Geo.
A. Wilson, Jr. The memorial
committee, composed of j. A.
Tyson, R. Herman and M. B.
Grace had arranged an excep-
tionally excellent program, and it
was carried out to perfection.
Hon. John H. Pettey, one of the
past exalted rulers Of the Green
wood Lodge, now residing in In

in a most able and eloquent man.
ner spoke of the principles of Elk
dom and paid tribute to the men,
ories of the late w. N. Allen and
little" Tommie Firth-both of
whom died the past year.
The memorial address was de-
livered by Hon. w. Shed Hill, and
in this address Mr.. Hill eloquently
and touchingly referred to de-
parted Elks, their generous deeds
in life, and referred at length to
the basic principles of fraternal
orders, and especially to the prin-
ciples upon which the order of
Elks was founded, and which
were SO we'll maintained. AS an
orator Mr.. Hill has few equals in
the State, and the best feature of
his oratory is that he always has
something to say that is worth
listening to.

men actually in touch with af.

duty.

sociation met Immediately after
the business men and endorsed
the plan outlined. Other organ
izations in the city have also en-
dorsed the move and will work
hand in hand with the business
men who will organize for this
purpose, in their efforts to rid
business of the incubus, which is
tearing at its vitals.
The business interests at the
meeting said that it should in no
wise be construed as having any
political bearing whatsoever; that
there was no fight on any partic-
ular department of the govern
ment; that they were not uphold
ing business that violated the
laws of the State, but that they
wanted protection for legitimate
business and wanted senseless lit
igation and harrassment stopped.
1t was intimated at the meeting
that strong fight would be made
on the fee system in the next leg

the mother of most of the evil
from which Mississippi business
is suffering.

Particular attention was called
to the numberless' suits filed in

To place meridian on the surf
of the wave of prosperity and for
the benefit and uplift of Missis-
sippi, to pull it out of the rut and
eliminate the obnoxious legisla-
ton, which has made it practi-
cally impossible to secure new
industries, was the slogan ola con-
ference of thirty-five business
men of Meridian at the Board of
Trade Tuesday afternoon.
The keynote of the meeting
was struck when it was an
nounced that Meridian and the
State is suffering untold damage
through the useless and unmer-
tied litigation rampant in all parts
of the State, particularly noticea-
bic in Meridian.
The petty suit litigation and
the multiplicity of suits filed in
the courts of Lauderdale county,
are driving manufacturers away
from our State; we are suffering
because of the acts of our own
people and because of the witless
legislation, which has made it pos
sible, to pursue business inter-
ests, until they had rather aban-.
don business in Mississippi than
be forced into endless law suits of
all kinds and character, and new
business refuses to enter the
State because of this terrifying

be the paying of attorneys

lars of claims.
The keynote of the meeting was
that something must be done to
stop this litigation, which, in the
opinion Of every business man
present-and every business in
the city was Representatives, do
ing irreparrable injury to the
State.
Capital is being antagonized,

endless chain Of costly litigation
rampant in the State" declared
Cliff Williams. "A party came
to Meridian with 100000 only
short time ago. They investi-
gated conditions and the record of
damage suits absolutely drove
them away, not only from Merid-
ian but the State. They said they
couldsnot invest their money in
a State where such a condition
existed"
=. The business men went on rec
ord to do everything in their
power to correct conditions, and
wanted it distinctly understood
that they were in no wise sup
porting or seeking protection for
those interests that are violating
the laws of the State or nation,
but they were solidly united in
their demands for a change in the
laws of the State, inimical to
every business and the fee sys-
tenn in particular. This latter
they declared, was a burden un-
der which the State should not
rest, and one from which it should
be Immediately relieved.
