Above Decision.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 6.-Gov-
vernon Lee M. Russell's attempt to
prevent Lieutenant Governor Homer
Castell from exercising the pardon
ing power when the chief executive
is absent from the state met with
failure today when Chancellor E.
N. Thomas held that the lieutenant
governor has a constitunal right
to issue pardons while temporarily
serving as governor.
A bitter controversy between the
governor and lieutenant governor
on this question has existed for
some time and Governor Russell
has declared that he does not in
tend to leave Mississippi again dur
ing his term of office, which is
about IL months more. The Chan
cellor's decision makes valid par
dons issued by the lieutenant gov
ernor several weeks ago to two
lfe-term nergro convicts while
Governor Russell was in Memphis

FORMER PENAL TIES BELOW
ONE MILLION DOLLARS
Boyd Byrd for Super
visor, Beat One

Mr.. Boyd Byrd dropped in on us
Tuesday morning and authorized
us to present his name to the voters
of Beat No. One as candidate for
Member of the Board of Super,
visors
If The Free Press should under
take to introduce Boyd Byrd to the
people of this Beat, or the entire
county, we imagine that they would
laugh at us-who is there that
doesn't know this genial, whole
souled, Industrious man?
The son of that honored citi-
zen, D. S. Byrd, of Byrd Line, Boyd
Byrd vas born, reared and schooled
in the county, and has spent his
life here. He is probably as well
known as any man in the county,
and has a large and prominent re-
lationship.
He was twice elected as County
Surveyor and served eight years
in that capacity, and has for a
number of years been actively en-
gagged in the turpentine business.
Mr.. Byrd says his platform is
to see that the people get dollars
worth of work for a dollars worth
Of pay.
Careful and frugal construction
Of roads and bridges, and de-
cided reduction in county expenses
thus bringing considerable re-
duction in taxation.
He believes that his knowledge
of county affairs and his ability as
business man fits him for the
position he seeks, and asks the
voters of Beat One to seriously con-
slider his candidacy. !.

Fines Imposed by Chan
cellor Amounted to
Eight Million, Reduc-
ed; Fire Insurance
Companies are Pleas
ed Over Victory.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 5.--The fire
insurance companies formerly OPP
Grating in Mississippi, and now be-
ing prosecuted for alleged violation
of the antitrust laws, won a nota-
able victory in the supreme court
this morning when that tribunal
sustained a suggestion of error
filed in their behalf, and greatly
reduced the fines imposed.
The fines imposed by Chancellor
Stricken in the Kinds county chan
Gerry court totalled more than eight
million dollars. Today's action Of
the supreme court in partly -eyers-
ing it's former decree reduces the
peralties to less than one million
dolla1..
The period to be covered for the
imposition Of fines, at the minimum
penalty of $25 per day, is two
years instead Of six year, as for
merly fixed by the court.
The court, in sustaining the sug-
gestion of error, breaks it's former
tie vote of three to three on the
original decision relative to the law
sf laches, and in effect holds that
the state lost it's right to sue for
a longer period because OF failure
to assert its claim when it was a
matter Of common knowledge that
the fire insurance companies were
all using identically the same rates.
There is now in the custody OF
the court insurance funds totalling
about one million dollars, seized by
the state revenue agent under
writs of garnishment levied on To-
cal, agents as the companies were
withdrawing from the state. This
will be sufficient to pay fines I'M
posed on the new basis, mad also
to pay privilege taxes due the IN
surance commissioner for the year
1921, amounting to about $l3O,OOO
/ which the companies refused to pay
while the antitrust litigation was
pending.
+ It is announced by the agents OF
Insurance companies that, an ap-
peal will be taken to the United
States Supreme Court.

Williams Pleads
For White Races
to Stop Fighting g
Mississippian Predicts U.
S. Will Accept League
in Three Years.

Washington, Feb 3-Senators
who declare for disarmament con-
ferences, yet oppose the League Of
Nations, may he smart men but
historically are fools, Senator John
Shsrp Williams Of Mississippi to-
day told his colleagues of the Sen
ate in characteristic address.
The senator asserted his opin-
ion that the white races of the
world must stop fighting and
combine to preserve white supremacy
or eventually a yellow race or black
race will gain the ascendancy. Sen
ator Williams criticised France for
what he termed that republics dis
regard of color in races as evidenc-
ed by the occupation of the Ruhr.
'The strength of Christianity
rests not upon the crucifixon but
upon the resurrection" said Senator
Williams, "and it is of the resur-
rection I would speak"
'It will not be twenty years, but
more likely three years, until you will
have accepted the League of Ma
tions. 1t may be and probably will
be under another name, but it will
be the league along the lines ap-
proved by Woodrow Wilson. You
would not accept membership in
the league because Woodrow Will
sons name was attached to it,
but the idea and the ideal will
live and Woodrow Wilson'S name
will live"
Chanllenging both progressive and
stand-pat members of the Repub-
lican party to point out wherein
the league would have failed to act
as a beneficial influence upon the
present disturbed condition of world
affairs if the United States had
joined with other nations in me-
bership, Senator Williams declared
that some, both progressive and
reactionaries, would have a diff
ficult time "being resurrected."
The only shame he had experience
id during the debate over the Ver-
sailles treaty, he said, was when
leaders ontne Democratic side of
the Senate contended that Article
10 did not imply force to carry
out the will of the league.
"Of course it implied force" said
Senator Williams. Il believe that
everyone who loves peace should
love it enough to fight to preserve
it. A court without force behind
it enough to enforce it's DEGREES is
What is 4 circuit court
without a sheriff? We are never
going to have peace in this world
until we are willing to empty force
to any nation which disturbs the
peace"
