ROAD BOND ELECTION IN
FIRST DISTRICT TO-DAY
QUALIFIED ELECTORS TO VOTE
ON ISSUANCE OF BONDS IN
SUM OF $4,000.

A great deal of interest is being
evinced in the election which is to
be held in the First supervisors dis
trict today to decide whether or not
the people will issue bonds in the
sum of $40 900 for the improvement
of their highways, as the issuance of
the bonds means not only the COM
pletion of the Mississippi route for
the proposed Jackson Highway so
far as Lowndes county is concerned
but the practical completion of the
county's good road system.
The county election commission
ers have recently purged the poll
books, and the completion Of the
work left only 1863 qualified voters
in the First district Caledonia is the
only polling place in the district,
and all qualified electors will vote
A special arrangement has been
effected whereby the people of the
Second district will donate the sum
Of $4,000 towards road improve
ment work in the Second district if
the bonds are voted. This agreement
was made in order to hasten to
completion of the route of the
Jackson Eighwy through Lowndes
county.

HAPPENINGS Of INTEREST
GATHERED HERE AND THERE
GIsT OF NEWS FROM OVER THE
COUNTRY GIVEN IN A brief
FORM.

A tentative agreement has just
been reached between the president
of the A, and NJ. College ami Chan
cellor Powers by which the A. and M.
College and the University of Missis-
sippi are to cooperate in building
summer normal schools for the
teachers of the state. Instead Of each
of these institutions holding sum
mer. school. beginning with .he pres
ent year their efforts will be con-
centrated in one school to be held in
alternate years at the A. and M. and
the University, under a joint control
of director from each institution.
Realizing that he had only few
months TO live before chronic all
ment will end his career, Dick Har-
rison, alias John Evans, arrested as
an accompliee to the gang which
robbed a train recently at Stanton,
W. Va, of $l50,000, has made a
full confession. He is said to have
given information which will lead to
the arrest of the greatest gang OF
train robbers since the days of
Jesse James.
As a perpetual memorial to the
great interest in Southern farming
manifested by the late President Fin
ley, President Harrison, of the
Southern Railway Company, has ar
ranged to give $1,000 each to the
state agricultural colleges in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Kentucky and Tennessee, to
be designated Southern Railway

dents in such way as the authori-
ties of each college may determine,
subject only to the restriction that
the students receiving the benefits
shall be from counties traversed by
the Southern Railway of its associst-
ed companies. This permanent loan
fund will take the place of tho -four
year Southern Railway scholarships

CIVIC LEAGUE WILL RE
DOUBLE EFFORTS FOR
EFFECTIVE CLEANUP.
THE RENOVATION
TO BE THOROUGH
Remain Firm in Decision to
Enter Columbus in Clean
City Contest

Aroused to action BY the severe
indictment Of Dr. Willis VALLEY,
chief sanitary Inspector Of the Mis-
issippi Board Of Health, who in an
address recently delivered here de-
clared Columbus to be one Of the fill
thiest cities in the state, members of
the Ladies' Civic League, under
whose direction a campaign forelean-
illness is to be prosecuted during the
week Of April 10, have decided to re-
double their efforts and will endeav-
or to place the city in such a spick
and span condition that DR.. VALLEY
can find no cause for complaint
when he makes his next visit, which
will be soon after the campaign has
been concluded.
Mrs. William Baldwin, president
of the Ladies' Civic League, stated
most emphatiealy that the indiet-
ment of the health expert would not
deter members of the organization
from entering Columbus in the clean
city contest which is to be conducted
under the auspices of the Mississippi
Board, of Health They do not re-
sent the remarks of the inspector. as
they feel that they were made in
spirit of kindness and intended more
as warning than as a criticism.
1t seems to be generally concluded
here that the present mode Of sani-
tary inspection is both antiquated
and Inadequate, Under the provis-
ions Of the city charter the enforce
ment of the sanitary laws and ordi-
nances is under the direction Of
board Of health consisting of law
yer, a merchant and 30 physicians.
The two physicians receive Sl00 per
annum cash for their services. while
the remaining members draw no sal
aries. Under this system adequate
sanitary inspection is impossible and
DIR. VALLEY urged the appointment
of a single Inspector, who would be
paid fair salary and be required to
devote his entire time TO the work,
At a meeting of the Civic League
which was held at the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday afternoon, Mrs.
William Baldwin, president Of the or
ganization announced the appoint
ment of the following ladies to su-
perintend the different branches of
the work connected with the impend-
ing cleanup campaign; Mrs. Reuben
Banks, streets; Mrs. J. b. Love,
vacant lots and stables; Mrs W b.
Hamilton, hotels and restaurants,
Mrs l.. II. Shapiro, public buildings;
Mrs H. H. McClanahan, depots and
bottling works; Mrs. Sam Harris,

ceries and bakeries; Mrs. J. d. Me

IMPORTANT BILLS
PASS THE SENATE
Bond Issue Matter in Fore
ground, and Governor Bilbo
is Insistent. -,

jackson, Miss, March 29.-After
patient and unremitting labor for 5
or 10 years by the Mississippi Asso-
citation of Funeral Directors and
Embalmers, the members Of chat or
ganization have finally been able to
get bill through both branches Of
the Legislature to provide for a
state board for the better regulation
of the practice of that profession in
the state The Senate had this bill
before it on the forenoon Thursday
and after considerable skirmishing
the bill passed By good majority.
The bill provides for a board of
six members, three to be nominated
to the governor by the funeral di-
rector's association and three by the
state board of health. The powers
and duties Of the examining board
are duly and specifically stated in
the rather long and technically
drawn measure.
The Senate also passed another
House bill, which was TO provide for
state board Of optometry, whieG
scored after long and interesting
discussion. Representatives Of the
medical profession, both the state
association and the state board of
heath, were heard in opposition TO
the hiil, wliie practicing opgomc-
trists spoke in advocacy of it. The
vote was close but friends Of the bill
believe that they can dispose of
the motion to reconsider when the
proper time Is reached.
The Senate committee on finance
reported back fsvorably the omni-
bus bond issue bills to provide for
all sorts of public improvements as
favored by the governor, amounting
TO Sl,300,000. Just what will be-
come Of them IL a matter of doubt,
but the concensus Of belief is that
some of them will be scuttled in
short order
The feature Of the House pro-
eeedings was the election of two
members from the body-at-larg to
serve on the recess committee, pro-
vided by the Stohe resolution, to
study out a better financial plan for
the state, with the end in view of
devising better means, if possible.
to raise more revenue and make the
burden of taxation more equitable.
Under the resolution eight members
of the eleven on the committee will
be chosen, one from each congress
sional district, nominated by the rep
resentatives from each district in
the House and appointed by the
speaker. The speaker, NJ. s. Connor,
is made member ex-officio Of the
committee.
Messrs. Norwood, Robertson, Kyle
and Stone ere nominated from the
House-at-large, Messrs Kyle and
Stone being elected by roll call, two
ballots being necessary. The others
nominated by the representatives
from each district, and who viii be
appointed, include Hewitt of Pike,
Gore of Webster, David Of Jackson,
Howerton of Lee, Bailey of Lauder
dale. Smith Of Tippah and Johnson
Of Coahoma. No nomination was
made by the Eighth district member,

BIC DOCKET FOR
cHANc[RY COURT
MANY CASES TO COME UP
AT TERM WHICH CON.
VENES MONDAY.
CONTROVERSY OVER
WILL is A FEATURE
Divorce Cases, in Most of
Which Negroes are Liti-
gants, Crowd Docket.

The docket for the spring term Of
ehancery court, which Twill convene
at 8 o'clock next Monday morning
and which will be presided over by
Hon. Albert Y. Woodward, Judge of
the Sixth chancery court district, is
an abnormslly large and unusually
important one; for, while there are
numerous cases of a trivial nature
to be adjudicated some of them are
of character which lift them above
the ordinary court routine and
make them of general public in
terest.
Without doubt the most impor-
tant case on the docket is that which
is to settle the ownership off the es-
tate of the late Mrs. M. b. Port
woord, the valuation of which is
variously estimated at from $40, 900
to $4,000. Mrs. Portwood died last
April, and soon thereafter two in
struments, each purporting to be
her last will and testament were
filed with Chancery Clerk B. A. Lin
coin for probate. One of these in
struments was executed in 1869, and
in It the testatrix names as heirs
the children of her sister, the hate
Mrs. Regina Harrison. The heirs now
living whs becoms beneficiaries
should this will finally be declared
valid and ordered probated being
James T. Harrison and Mr.. Allen
Harrison Of this city, and Hon.
Blswett Lee Of Chicago. The other
names ths children of the late
Thomas Blewett and Allen Blewett,
brothers Of the testatrix, as benefic-
iaries, and should this document be
accepted by the court as Mrs. Port
woods last will and testament the
property will go to the children of
her two brothers. In the litigation
now pending Mrs. Alena Bester, a
sister of Mrs. Portwood, also seeks
to share in the distribution of her
property.
The Harrison heirs are represent
ed by Hon. James T. Harrison and
Messrs. Sturdivant, Owen and Gar
nett, and it is probable that Hon.
Blewett Lee will come here from
Chicago to participate with these
gentlemen in the presentation of
their side Of the case, while the in
terests of the Blswett heirs are in
the hands of Hon. James N. Gran
ade, of Chatham, Ala, who is reiat-
ed to these heirs by ties Of affinity.
The docket, which as usual is
crowded with divorce cases, in most
of which the litigants are negroes,
follows:
Sadie B. Jordan VS.. Curtis X. Jor-
dan, divorce.
Lou Cobb VS.. Robert Cobb, di-
vorce.
Mary Ann Petty vs.. Robert Petty,
divorce.
