Jackson, Nov. 3. —The citizens of
Greenwod have decided not to make a
legal fight to set aside the purchase
of the Itta Bena branch o f the South
ern railway by the Yazoo and Missis
sippi Valley road. The purchase of
this line, which is about forty miles
in length, has been opposed on the
ground that it might prove disastrous
to business interests of a rich section
of tin delta, and a hot fight was male
against the merger bill under which
the purchase was made when it was
before the legislature at the last ses
sion, and the railroad won, and a few
months later the Yazoo and Mississip
pi Valley road commenced operating
the acquired line. A friendly suit
between the Southern railway and
the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
road will be submitted to t He
chancery court of Leflore county this
week. The object of the suit is to
test the legality of the merger bill.
The only questiou involved is wheth
er the bill violates the constitutional
prohibition against the consolidating
of parallel and competing lines.
The mayors of all the cities and
towns in Mississippi have been re
quested to name delegates to the con
vention of the Mississippi Business
Men's League to be held in this city
on the 24th aud 25th of November.
The convention will be of especial
importance on account of tlie fact
that it will discuss needed changes in
the fire insurance laws and the pro
posed establishment of a state imrni
graton bureau.
State Senator W. B. Wa ! ker of
Monroe county, will introduce in the
state legislature at the January term
a bill providing for the establishment
of a bureau of vital statistics. There
is hardly any doubt that a measure of
thit kind will be enacted by the body,
as public seutiment seems to be
strongly in favor of it Ss the best
means of promoting publicity in the
state's resources.
