A MOST WORTHY ENTERPRISE

Flfty-two years ago, as President
OF Washington College, General Rob-
ert e. Lee, with prophetic vision of
genius, founded the first school of
journalism in America. Some wears
after his death amid the proverty
and misery of reconstruction" era
the school was discontinued for lack
of funds.
AS some OF our readers already
know, the editors of the whole South
have decided to reestablish and en-
dow General Lees School as their
special tribute to the memory OF the
first educator TO recognize journal
ism as learned profession, and
their patri otic contribution to the
welfare and development of the
south and the nation. The Lee Mem
orial School OF Journalism is to be
located at Lexington. in sight OF
General Lees home and tomb, as
one OF the department of his institu-
tion. Washington and Lee Universi-
ty. Although utilizing for It's stu
dents all the courses and facilities Of
the university, the school OF Journal
ism will have it's own endowment,
faculty, printing offices. and academ.
buildings.
1t Ia peculiarly fortunate that Gen.
eral Lees institution, with no
church or state connections, and
patronized by the whole south.
be so well fitted to become the home
OF the one all,southern school of this
type.
In connection with the celebration
OF General Lees birthday, In Janu-
airy, more than thousand Loyal
southern newspapers Joined in this
unique and unprecedented movement
to honor General Lees memory. To-
Gus anew the attention OF the south
on the matches character OF It's ideal
hero and, perpetuate for all time the
great work which his death inter-
rupted.
1t is needless to say that the Rec
ord and it's loyal constituency will
DO their share In this great memori-
al enterprise. The Record will be
glad to receive and acknowledge all
donations for this purpose. Any
amounts given will go to worthy
cause. and we hope the roll OF honor
will number many OF our population
men and women. old and young all
who glory in the memory OF the past
all who revere the name of Lee. all
who hope and labor for the uplifting
OF the South and the spread OF "the
Lee spirit among it's future citizens.

SM|TH-NOEL BILL
PASSED IN SENATE
CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION UNDERTAKEN;
HOUSE COMMITTEE FAVORS UTILITY BILL.

Jackson. Miss, March Especial
The most important piece OF con-
structive legislation OF the session
was enacted In the Senate Thursday
morning when the Smith-Noel bill,
enlarging the land-helding limit for
manufacturing corporations, was
passed after a sharp fight.
The present limit OF owing for cor
porations engaged in manufacturing
is $2,000,00O. In the Smith Noel
measure this limit was increased to
$lO,O00,000 and the Senate adopted
an amendment making d further In
crease to $15, ,000O0O The purpose OF
the measure Is to invite capital to
invest In manufacturing enterprises
In the state.
Senator Smith, president pro tenn
pore of the Senate, led the fight for
the measure. The cheif opponent
was Senator East of Tate, who re-
marked during the debate that II the
law passed, 1t would be possible for
a corporation to buy up all of the
Tate County. which provoked Sena-
tor Shields to remark that under the
present $2,000000 limit, corpora
tion could buy up all OF Tate County.
In the House the two-day debate
on the Middleton bill, to modify the
compulsory cattle dipping law by
permitting counties vote themselves
out from under this law that they
remain in quarantine, was defeated
by II vote OF 65 to Al, thus effectually
disposing Of one the most trouble
some questions of the session.
Another important piece of con-
structive legislation passed by the
Senate was the, Stocksti bill, permit
ting iand-owning corporations to
place in cultivation 20 percent of
their holdings and to sell same from
time to time to individuals. This
repeals the law forbidding corpora
tions from engaging In agricultural
pursuits. The debate on the bill oc-
cupied about one hour.
