extraordinary. Mrs. Potter at that time
was still very beautiful, but fragile
and delicate to the last degree with
her scarlet hair folded across her brows
and her eyes with strange dark lights
and their curious deep setting afire with
an emotion it was difficult to analyze.
She was wearing a straight cut gown
of deep purplish velvet, with filmy
black and gold "overcoat" of chiffon
floating over it, while hanging around
her throat were dull uncut emerald
beads that added to the bizarre effect
of her beauty and coloring. Mrs Still

long country walk and she hastily

Chinese mandarin's robe. 1t was of Won

strange golden sable that is frequently
seen on these garments.
Round her head she had bound rose

fringed ends that hung down to the

islature, the members thereof do not
care whether Governor Bilbo and family
freeze next winter or not. In the worry
and confusion incident to the passage
of the appropriation bills, the item for
coal for the governors mansion was
omitted. AS that amounts to about 500
per annum, it is rather serious matter.
There is no way for the governor to get
the money except out of his own pocket,
but it is supposed The next legislature
will pay the bill. Ordinarily he could
take it out of his executive contingent
fund, but the fund is low. The governor
asked for 5000 additional, but the law
makers refused when it was charged by
Representative Johnson of Coahoma that
he had spent about $4,000 of his fund

or more special messages to the senate

feat of measures that were pending, and
nearly every day he might have been
seen lobbying all around over the halls,
But the governor lost out before the end
of the session, unless perchance he found
victory in defeat on the tax levy bill.
He wanted the levy to remain below 5
mills. The house insisted on mills, de-
caring that even that levy would not
produce sufficient revenue to run the
state the next two years. The senate
agreed to mills, but in course of time,
after three or four conference commit
tees had worked out the problem, both
houses agreed to 51a mills. That was
vetoed by the governor and the house
promptly passed it over his head. The
senate stood by the governor, declining
TO pass the bill over his veto by one
vote. That was before noon. In the
afternoon the senate came across with
a heavy majority for passage over the
veto. Thus, apparently, the governor was
knocked into cooked hat, but the
chances are that the governor told his
friends in the senate to do Just what
they did. That means political capital
for the governor. He can now go be.

GETS A CHOLERA EXPERT


The department of agriculture has sent
DR. Hugh Il. Frye, an expert on hog
cholera, to Mississippi, where he will re-
main in an advisory capacity so long as
his services may be needed. DIR. Frye
has office with the state department
of agriculture at the old capitol, where
he will be glad to hear from county
demonstration agents on the appearance
of any suspicious diseases among hogs,
and will visit the scene of the outbreak
when necessary There is very little hog
cholera in the state now, vaccination and
the use of serum being general, but the
idea now is to stamp it out entirely.

wore a handkerchief shaped drappery of
exquisite black lace.
AS she sat between her daughter and
granddaughter in their bizarre garments
the effect was one that would have stirred

they held their meetings, and they were
fairly we'll attended. The officers of the

district and tell them how he fought
for low tax levy, as he had promised
them when neglected two years ago. but
that the legislature ra nthe steam roller
over him, much to his chagrin.
1t was predicted month ago that
Governor Bilbo was dead politically
that the insane hospital investigation
had put him clear out of business, and
all signs pointed that way. but the leg
stature seems to have overdone the IN
vestigating game, and the chances now
are that the governor is as strong as
ever, and that he is by no means de-
feated for Congress.
RECALL THEIR PETITIONS
Sometime last winter all the railroads
doing business in Mississippi filed petit
tons with the railroad commission ask
ing permission to charge "a cents per
mile for 1000-mile books, and it was ex-
pected there would be lively tilt over
the proposition. However, when the
commission met this week the several
railroads asked and received permission
to withdraw the petitions. Just why
that was done, the commission does not
know.
