: to Jackson, and providing for an ap-
7 preparation of $1.500,000 for the err
lection of suitable buildings, provid-
ing that the City of Jackson and
County of Kinds subscribe a bonus
of $500, 900. At the same time Rep
resentative Sheldon of Washington
introduced a similar bill in the
House. The plan of the advocates of
the measure is to use the buildings
now at Oxford for a State Normal
College, as soon as the work on the
new buildings for the University at
jackson can be completed, and it is
estimated that it will require two
years for this purpose. There will
be opposition to these measures, not
only from Oxford but from Columbus
and Starkville, as the bills contem-
plate consolidation of the three
state institutions, the University, the
! /. /. & c., and the A. & M. College
under one management, a part of
the work being done now at Stark
vile and Columbus to be abandoned
and hereafter to be carried on in the
new University. A committee from
the City of Jackson and the County
of Kinds went before the House and
Senate committees on Universities
and Colleges Thursday afternoon
and pledged the bonus of $500, 900
on condition that the legislature
make the appropriation of 1,500, 900
and remove the institution to Jack
son. The committee also expressed
tion in money and If the legislature
was willing to appropriate $3,000,-
900 Jackson and the County of Kinds
would contribute $1,000,000. This
committee composed of w. A. Scott,
Mayor of Jackson; j. W. Tucker,
president of the Board of Trade; La
mar Puryear, president Of the Board
of Supervisors of Kinds County; Ed
ward Yerger, president of the Rotary
Club and ]. Y. Downing, president of
the Kiwanis Club.
Board of Pardons Abolished.
The House took up the matter Of
the State Board of Pardons on Thurs
day morning and by a vote of 81 to
IS passed the Stone measure, sub
stitute for the Riley bill, abolishing
the State Board of Pardons and
transferring the duties heretofore ex-
ercised by the Board of Pardons to
the Prison Board Of Trustees. Both
Governor Bilbo and Governor Russell
were in favor of retaining the Board
Of Pardons and advocated the same
in their messages to the legislature.

MISSISSIPPI KILLS
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
Suffragettes Must Wait for An
Amendment to the State
Constitution.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 27. = The
House galleries were we'll filled with
women this morning when the spe-
eial orders of the day were called up,
and all of the visitors seemed to take
great interest in what was going on
below them.
The first call was concurrent res
olution by Mr.. Glass of Attala, a.
mending Section 241 of the Consti-
tuition so as to give women the right
to vote, and leaving the matter to a
vote of the qualified electors at the
November election. The amendment
proposed simply inserts the word "fe-
male" Two or three amendments
were offered and voted down, but one
eliminating certain women was a.
dopted. Mr.. Sillers moved the pre-
vious question, but there was no de-
bate and the bill passed, ia to IL.
A companion resolution amending
Section 243 of the Constitution was
next taken up and passed 112 to Z,
1t imposes poll tax Of So on wo-
men just as the men now pay, and
was adopted without debate.
CAN'T VOTE THIS YEAR.
The other special order for the day
was Mr.. Whitworth's bill to enable
women to vote in the primary cleo
tion next November. 1t required her
to qualify by the payment of her tax
es, payment of 50 poll tax and to be
registered as men are required to do.
This brought on the oratory. Mr..
S1llers sent up an amendment tab
ling the enacting clause, explaining
that his idea was to kill the measure
at one fell stroke, and he spoke to
good effect along that line, pointing
out that to authorize women to vote
| before the constitutional amendment
proposed had been adopted would be
vain thing. He contended that to
vote in the primary was the same as
to vote in any other election, SO far
as the effect was concerned, as pri-
maries settled elections in this state.
| A motion to table was lost, 73 to
At, and Mr.. Mitchell of Lee made a
very vigorous assault on the amend
ment, taking the position that the
Constitution did not stand in the way
at all, the primary being no more
than convention for the selection
of candidates. He was frequently
interrupted by Mr.. Sillers with point
ed and interesting questions, all of
which were skillfully parried, and
the speaker grew eloquent and ear
nest in defending his position.
Mr.. Mahon insisted it would not
be violative of the Constitution, and
spoke earnestly against the amend
ment.
Mr.. Sillers closed the debate, stat
ing that he was not opposed to Civ
ing the ballot to women, and expect
ed to vote for the amendment giving
them the ballot when the time came,
but he was not willing for them to
participate in primaries when the
Constitution did not give them the
right to vote at all.
The roll call was followed with
| great interest, but the result was not
surprising, it being generally under
stood that the House was opposed to
the primary bill. The amendment
striking out the enacting clause was
adopted 65 to Sc, Speaker Conner
voting against the bill, and the wo-
men who want to vote must wait
until the Constitution shall have
been amended so as to give them the
right.
Mr.. Whitworth entered motion

AN INTERESTING
PLACE TO VISIT
Abbeyille Coca.Cola Plant Modern In
Every Respect-Meehanical Bot
tie Washer-24 Bottles of
"Dope" Every Minute

The plant Of the Abbeville Coca
Cola Co. on East Lane street is one
of the most modern in the country.
A. visit to this plant when you .:1are
sure you won't get in the way Of the
busy folk there will be interesting.
The machinery, like the Linotype
machine, seems almost to possess
brains. Everything that can be done
without the touch of human hands
is done in the Link plant. The bot
ties which have been emptied Of
their contents by thirsty customers
at the various cold drink stands are
placed in pairs, bottom side up, on
an endless belt which carries them
first through a boiler containing a
mixture of acid and boiling water
which absolutely cleans sne bottles
perfectly, and along with the dirt the
strong acid kills any germs which
may have taken up their abode in
the bottles. Without any lost motion
the chain carries the. hundreds of
bottles on through the rInslng ma
chine where all the acid solution IS
thoroughly washed off by the jets Of
sparkling, clear water.
The belt carries the bottles from
the rinsing machine past the bottling
machine where at present Herbert
Whaley presides. Herbert is con-
siderably more adept in juggling
bottles at the rate. of 4S minute
than he is in juggling "amo, amas,
amat" in a ,45--minute period under
Miss Turner. He bottles, with the aid
Of the machine, "a bottles of soft
drinks each minute and handles each
bottle twice in the operation.
Young Gilbert Nabers is kept busy
moving the freshly-filled bottles away
from the machine. Gilbert and Her.
bert make a good team 70 put the
proper amount of gas in anything.
The "dopes" are never touched
w::th the hands except on sne outside
Of the bottles and sanitation and
speed are, the working trademarks
of the Abbeville Coca-Cola plant.

While it is generally agreed the:

In military quarters here the
view is taken that the allies princi-

be the blockade, and that the Poles
will, if possible, be given supplies.
Doubt is expressed however, as to-
the possibility of conveying asup=
