Special to The Neios.


Jackson, Miss, Aug. 2O.-There are
those who are predicting that the Leg
islature to be elected this year will
come as near being in harmony and
sympathy with the policies expressed
blythe governor-elect in both branches
as has been known since the adoption
of the present constitution. Should
the Senate and House both be what is
designated "pro-Bilbo' in tendencies,
it will be the firt time that an incom-
ing governor has met such favor
able situation for forcing his policies
and pet measures through to the sta
tute books. Whether it will be a good
thing for the state is another matter,
which will be solved in due time, but
which is now considered doubtful.
No matter who may be elected to
the next legislature, there will be sew
eral strong men missing from the
ranks at both ends of the capitol, for
the very good reason that they did
not offer as candidates. Among them
is that useful and Woodworking legis-
lator. JOS. D. Stennis of Lauderdale,
who for the past three administrations
has been chairman of the ways and
means committee, and a man whose
services were invaluable, especially
in matters pertaining to revenue. Mr..
Stennis will be genuinely missed from
his place and the whole state will miss
his service.
Fully as wide a gap as that left by
the withdrawal of Stennis will be the
missing personality of S. A. Morrison
of Grenada, another statistical and
financial "fiend," who has for II years
sat on the lid as chairman of the
House appropriations committee. No
more efficient, capable or aggressive
treasury guardian ever trimmed ap-
preparation bills in a legislative body
than Mr.. Morrison or created more
antagonism by his curt, blunt and al
most dictatorial style and bearing.
Another old timer whose place an
other will take will be S. Joe Owen,
the redoubtable and aggressive Union
county solon, who voluntarily retires,
and another watchdog and veritable
tribune of the plain people.
Word comes from NoXubee county
that Col Emmett d. Cavett, represen-
tative from his county for many years,
and one of the best equipped men in
either branch, was eliminated in the
first primary in his county. Eloquent,
affable, resourceful and lovable, big
Bud" will be genuinely missed.
Other figures who Will be missing
will be Frank Burkitt, late a senator
from the Thirty-first, whose death oc-
Cured since the last legislature,
whose fame was statewide; Albert c.
Anderson of Tippah, representative
and senator for the past eight years,
father of the first statewide prohibi-
ton law that was ever put on the
statute books of Mississippi, and who,
like Norwood, has been identified
with larger degree of constructive
legislation-than most of his associates.
In fact the indications are that
there will be a larger proportion of
new and untried men in the next leg
islature, and fewer oldtimers, than at
any time for many years, Judging
from the elective figures seen, and the
list of candidates as published by
county papers.
While it is impossible to gather a
full list of the personnel of the House
and Senate which will compose the

the son of a widow living in the west

Some months ago he was pursuad
ed by an English government agent to
join the English army, it being repre-
sented to him, as he alleges, that he
would be given a position behind the
lines, where he would not be exposed
to danger, that he would be furnished
with the necessities of life and given
salary sufficient to maintain him
self and his mother, with her smaller
'children, he being his mothers chief
support. 1t was also represented to
him, he says, that he would be fur
nished with transportation home at
any time he desired to return.
HE being a country boy, ready for
most any form of adventure, he read
lily accepted the offer and went to
England with the agent. Nothing was
heard from him until recently, when
his mother received letter from him
relating his experience and urging her
to use every means to obtain his re
lease On his arrival in England he
was given a uniform and placed in the
regular army service, where he under
went all kinds of hardships, having
been twice wounded and in the hos
pital at the time he wrote. An effort
will be made to have the government
at Washington make an effort to OBJ
tain his release.
