Our jackson Letter
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 10, 1916.

Owing to the confusion incl
dent to the organization of the
legislature last week it was i'm
possible for me to write a letter
to the Journal, as it is my pur-
pose to do each week during the
sitting of the legislature.
The senate was organized by
the election of Mr.. John Falkner,
of Oxford, as clerk, MIR. Tigret,
of Ripley, sergeant-at-arms, and
Mr.. Reese, a one armed Confed-
crate soldier, as doorkeeper. Mr..
Bilbo, as acknowledgement,
will continue to preside over the
senate until Monday of next
week. The following day he
will be inaugurated as governor
of the state, and Mr.. Russell,
who will be inaugurated as lieu
tenant-governor, will become by
virtue of his Office the presiding
officer.
Our neighbor and friend of
Pontotoc, MIR. Frank Robertson,
was elected temporary speaker
and presided over the house while
the permanent speaker was be-
ing selected. Mr.. Robertson
makes a fine presiding officer and
is recognized as one of the lead
ing members of the house. Mr..
M. S. Conner, of Covington coun-
ty was elected speaker. Mr..
Conner was backed by Mr.. Bilbo
and the younger contingent of
the house, quite a number of
whom are graduates of the Uni
versity and were schoolmates of
Mr.. Conner. The speaker is a
very young man for the place,
about Is years of age, but he is
we'll educated, having graduated
at our State University and at,
Yale College. He is a very SEN
sible young man and wears the
honors of the position with be-
coming modesty. He is busily
engaged this week making up
the committees who will do the
real work of the legislature. In
my failure to win the speakership
Twas not in the least embarrassed
or disappointed. 1t is a position
that carries with it great respon-
sibility and lots of very hard
work. Our neighbors in Ponto-
toe. Chickasaw, Union, Prentiss,
Itawamba. Tippah, Monroe and
other northeastern counties voted
for me / was placed in nomi-
nation by Mr.. Dorroh, of Macon,
in a very nice speech, my nomi-
nation being seconded by Mr..
Howerton, and Mr.. Bill Stegall
of Pontotoc.
Geo. B. Powers, of Jackson,
was elected clerk of the house;
j. v. Candy, of Wayne county,
sergeant-at-arms, and Messrs.
Roberts, Of Choctaw, and Price,
of Kinds, both old Confederate
soldiers, were elected doorkeep-
ers.
In a very exciting contest Mrs.
Marshall, Of Union county, de.
feated Miss Matte Plunkett for
State Librarian by a vote Of 81
to "a. Miss Plunkett has served
in this capacity for the past six
teen years and made a splendid
librarian. She was recognized
The Tupelo journal., 1916-01-14

as one of the most astute politi-
clans in the state and has held
the position by reason of her
popularity and efficiency and her
ability to handle the legislature.
Mrs. Marshall is a most excellent
woman, modest and worthy and
capacitated to master the intri-
cate duties of the new position
which she will enter upon on the
18th inst.
The members of the legislature
appear to be at first appearance
a conservative body of men who
are here to represent the states
interest. Many of them are
young and inexperienced, but
| feel that they will be disposed
to listen to the counsel of the
more experienced members and
not rush into extreme legislation
or vote extravagant appropria-
tons. Upon the question of ex-
penditure so far there has been
a disposition among the members
to not get extravagant. This
morning on a resolution which
provided for the purchase of a
carpet for the floor Of the house
that would have cost 81, 500 we
voted it down by a vote of 81 to
40. The floor is of tile and the
claim was made by the advocates
of buying the carpet that it was
necessary to keep down the noise
in the house, but the other side
could not be brought around to
see the necessity of it.
The speaker announced some
of the committees yesterday af-
ternoon, but it will require sew
seral days yet to get the commit
tees completed. There are 20
committees with from five to
forty-fve members on them and
the difficulty is in getting all the
members on committees where
they can do the best work. As
the speaker does not know all
the members personally and
their special fitness for these po-
sitions on the committees he has
to- take time to complete the
work.
This morning bills began to
pour in and the prospect is every
member will be heard from with
one or more bills. These meas
ures include all kinds of ideas
from the dog law up to the es-
tablishment.of a board of pard-
ons MI. Draughn, of Forrest
county introduced a bill today
for the appointment Of a board
of pardons composed of three
members from each county to be
appointed by the circuit judge
and district attorney Of each dis

petitions for pardons and report
their findings to the governor,
who shall take their recommen-

took down Sandry's saddle and slung
II on Black Bolt. Poppy followed her
movements. and by the time Siletz had
nut foot in stirrup and swung up, she
had caught up her wide skirt and
mounted. Siletz fared around at her
and her eyes were beginning to
sparkle in a face pale with rage.
Without word they gaIloped ur
across the lonesome valley and took
to what had once been a trail in the
nodding ferns. Now it was but a
slight depression running amid the
blackened trunks, the endless heaps
of ashes. Poppy Ordway followed ST.

menace of the hills.
She was saying to herself after her
enticing habit OF self-communion:

Once Siletz turned upon her.
Go back" she cried fiercely, some
thing is about to happen"
You're right" said Poppy, and for
once the hardness of her nature
showed like a rock under waves in
eyes and voice and manner, land I'll
be in at the happening"
They spoke no more. Siletz checked
Black Bolt in another mile, rose in her
stirrups and looked over the appalling
spectacle before them. Over and be-
yOnd lay the tumbled hills, thick with
heavy timber, that ran into the Siletz
basin. Somewhere in their Businesses
reared the mighty spine of the Hog
Back with it's secret trail. And some
where up behind the Hog Back was
Sandry. Calm as she was by nature,
Siletz shuddered as she looked upon
the world of fame and smoke. To
Poppy Ordway. ignorant of it's mean
ing and its might, it was a splendid
spectacle,
Siletz plunged down the ridge on the
other side and the woman followed.
The shadows of the smoke filled val
ley grew into an uncanny twilight. The
fne, light ashes made slippery going
and more than once Black Bolt slipped
TO catch his footing, catlike. They
rode ahead and entered the fire belt
itself. The dusk grew denser. The
heat lay like tangible blanket in the
hollows and dips. Siletz urged Black
Bolt. Something was calling out of
che gray dimness-chilling her heart.
hurrying her progress.
She had ridden for time in deep
thought when scream from the wom-
an behind drew her up with start.
She turned just in time to see the big
bay fall and go tumbling down the
mountain. With his first lurch he had
flung his rider out of the saddle and
into a pile of ashes. 1t was true to
her nature that the girl, dismounting,
