Some Mississlppians Thing Governor
Made a Mlstke.
Columbus, Miss., September 23. —
Governor Lingino’s final decision not
to call a special session of the leg
islature in order to amend the new
cotton insurance law has met with
hearty disfavor in most localities
throughout the state.
In order to determine as to the
amount of cotton which would be ear
- and out of this section, also as to
the financial loss which producer and
buyer would sustain from this new
law, the representatives of various
large cotton firms now doing business
throughout this section were con
sulted this afternoon, and all, without
a single exception, are of the opinion
that no cotton producer oetween Cor
inth and Meridian, or from Winona
to the Alabama line, will be sent out
of the state, and, fu.’Jiermore, ail
this cotton will, as has been the for
mer custom, be sent here for storage
and sale. The reason of this is be
cause the buyers here are large ex
porters,'thereby being able to carry
marine blanket policies, rendering all
cotton handled by them instil ted regard
less of weights. .

gives it as his opinion that Uie pres

republican party, which has just tak

views with disfavor a movement that
may react in northern states and dis
triets where the negroes hold the bal
ance of the power.
This view being presented to one
of the leaders in the lily white party,

"It can make very little 'difference
how the movement may be Viewed in
Washington or elsewhere. It is a
revolution growing out of new condi
tions and Mr. Roosevelt has no pow
er to caeek it or to even cripple it.
The convention declared tor him by a
bare majority. The least interference
on his part would mean the loss to
him of Alabama. The new party is
not composed of office-holders, there
aaving been fewer of that description
in the Birmingham convention than
in any state convention of either party
for many years. It is essentially or
ganized and controlled by the non
office holding masses in the w'hi, .
who care little as to its ef

OVLR MILLION DRAW PENSIONS
Roll Passes the Predictions of Those
Opposing Pension Lc-glslatio*
Washington, September 22. —
United States pension list has passed
the 1,000,000 mark The annual
report of Commissioner Ware, which
will he made public for the annual en
campment of tbe Grand vvrmy of the
Republic, will show that at tne end
of fiscal year ending last June the
pension rolls lacked 554 names of be
ing 1,000,000. During July, however,
2,iml names were added to the list,
bringing the lotal to 1,001,497.
At the end of the last fiscal year
the number on the rolls exceeded all
previous records and with the July ad
dition it has passed the predictions of
those who have opposed pension leg
islation. Pensions growing out of the
Spanish]-American war have had a
great deal to do with the increase,
although the number of actually pen
sioned is small In propotion to me en
tire number of men—something like
300,000 —who served in that war.

PEDESTRIAN TALKS.
Unearths a Court Ruling on the Blcy-
Question.
Editor News;
In connection with present “bicycle
row” on hand in Brunswick, it oc
curred to me that the following on
the subject might be Of interest to a
large number of your readers as
the decision is. germain to the issue.
Judge Mitchell, of Tiogo county,
Pennsylvania, recently handed down
a decision which is of general in
terest: “A bicyclist has no right
upon a sidewalk, and no borough can
by ordinance give hint that right, or
make his riding upon the sidewalk
legal. A bicycle is a vehicle, and as
such has no more right to run on the
sidewalk than has a cart or wagon
drawn by horses. If a bicyclist rides
upon the sidewalk he is there ille
gally, and if he should accidently run
over a child or person and kill him,
he would be guilty of manslaughter,
fio matter if he were riding with the
greatest precaution and care, for the
reason that nis being upon hte side
walk was in itself illegal, and would
make an accident of this kind serious
in its results to the bicyclist.

Jackson, Miss., Will be the Scene of
a Double Hanging Today.—The
Prisoners are Still Defiant.
Hanging to be Public.
Jackson, Miss.. September 23.
Governor Longlno will not grant a fur
ther respite to Will Matth.s and Or
lando Lester, the condemned mur
derers of the Montgomery brothers,
and they will bo publicly executed at
Oxford tomorrow morning. The hang
ing will take place about one mile
south of town, and thousands of vis
itors are expected in the I—e uni
versity town to witness the grew
some sight.
No necessity for further respite is
apparent to the governor, both of the
men having given their testimony,
which resulted in the conviction of
Whit Owens, the father in law of Mat
inis, for the murder of Hamp Wil
liams. The Owens case will be appeal
ed, but tno attorneys feel confident
of a confirmation by the supreme
court, and uo not. regard it neces
sary to keep Mat this and Lester alive
t.o be again placed on the stand in
case a reversal should be made by the
higher tribunal.
The latest news from Oxford is to
the effect that the' condemned men
are still in high spirits and do not
believe that they will lie liangc-d to
morrow, feeling that some contin
gency will again save their necks
from the halter. Lester has not yet
finished work on the book ne is writ
ing. giving a history of the crime for
which Matthis and himself are to pay
the death penalty.
