WHY PROFESSOR ARCH I RAM
SMITH WAS REMOVED.
(Continued from Page 42 5.)
move was so transparent that vvhei
the officers of the State Live Stocl
and Dairy Association protested, th«
attempt along this line was abandon
ed. Later and just before the closi
to out-vote five. The purpose of thii
of the session, on a Monday, a bil
was introduced in the Senate to pu
the Governor and Attorney Genera
on the Live Stock Sanitary Board
The bill was referred to the Judiciar:
Committee. This is plainly not th<
committee to which it should havt
gone, but the chairman of this com
mittee happened to be a candidatt
for an office at the hands of the Gov
ernor and consequently friendly tc
him. As your President, I wired th<
chairman of the Judiciary Commit
tee of the Senate on Tuesday asking
for a hearing on the bill, but was
notified that the bill had alread>
been reported favorably. The nexi
day, Wednesday, it passed tnt
Senate.
In the House the bill was referred
to the Committee of Agriculture
where it belonged; but here also the
chairman happened to be a candidate
for an office in the gift of the Gov
ernor. The chairman of this com
mittee promised to give the repre
sentative of the Live Stock and Dairy
Association a hearing at a certain
time, but when the appointed time
came the committee failed to meet.
By holding a meeting of the commit
tee later and failing to notify at
least one member who was known
to be against the bill, a favorable
committee report was obtained by
the deciding vote of the chairman.

bill passed the House. Your repre
sentative did not attempt to have any
ftght made on the bill in the House.
In this connection, and to show to
what length Governor Noel was will
ing to go to obtain control of the pat
ronage of the Sanitary Board, your
President was twice threatened with
the Governor’s veto of the appropri
ation for the work of the Sanitary
Board if certain things wrere or wer*
not done. Once, by the President ol
the A. & M. College and once by G
H. Alford, a member of the Legisla
ture, who w^as generally known to b<
willing to do any kind of work th<
Governor required. The same threa
was made in the columns of one o
the Jackson daily papers the morn
ing before the bill putting the Gov
ernor and Attorney General on th<
Live Stock Sanitary Board came u]
in the House.
The Governor, knew, however
that he lacked one vote to obtaii
control of the work and patronage o
the Board. There were only tw

these was at least passive to his pc
litical scheme, the other, Professo
Smith, could not be controlled. Th
result was an adjournment of th
Live Stock Sanitary Board, at th
suggestion of the Governor, fror
April 30th to May 7th, withou
transacting the most pressing bus
ness before the Board. The work c
tick eradication had already bee
hampered and rendered almost ust
less for this year by the delay of th
Legislature in making the approprh
tion, but “the interests of the peopl
be damned,” the Governor must hav
control of the $40,000 patronage c
the Board.
Mark you, that the Sanitary Boar
meeting was adjourned to May 7t
at the request of the Governor an
on May 4th less than a quorum <
the Board of Trustees of the A.
M. College met and off went Profe
sor Smith’s official head. Some or
must be elected Professor of Anim;
Husbandry and ex-officio member <
the Sanitary Board at once, or th
Governor would not have control <
) tlie Sanitary Board on May 7th.
Moreover, the one elected must be
under the control of the Governor.
Prof. W. L. Hutchinson was elected
i to perform these double duties, al
: though he was already Director of
i Farmers’ Institutes and Dean of the
- School of Agriculture. In other
> words, Professor Hutchinson now
i fills four offices, any one of which
I should require his full energies and
; ability.
I I wish to state, however, that I am
. not criticising Professor Hutchinson.
I have the most kindly feelings to
• wards him, but as his friend, I, nor
■ any other, can make the claim that
■ he possesses any fitness for the posl
i tion of Professor of Animal Hus
bandry or for directing the work of
i the Live Stock Sanitary Board.
Respectfully submitted,
TAIT BUTLER.
President.
On motion, duly seconded and car
ried, the above report was received
and adopted as the sense of the meet
ir>g of the Live Stock and Dairy As
sociation, May 28. 1910.
At this meeting the following
resolutions were also unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, Prof. Archibald Smith,
in his official capacity as Professor
of Animal Industry at A. and M. Col
lege for a number of years, and as
Secretary and Field Agent for the
Live Stock Sanitary Board, has done
most efficient work for the develop
ment of the live stock interests of
the State; and
Whereas, Professor Smith, by his
energy, zeal and thorough knowl
edge of the work to be done has in
spired the confidence and esteem of
all with whom he has come in con
tact. Therefore be it
Resolved, That the Mississippi Live
Stock and Dairy Association hereby
expresses its appreciation of his work
for the live stock interests, and abso
lute confidence in his ability and
integrity.
Whereas. Prof. Archibald Smith
has proved of inestimable value to
the Live Stock Sanitary Board in the
prosecution of its work, and being, in
our opinion, by far the best qualified
man available for the position of Sec
retary and Field Agent of said board.
Therefore be it
Resolved, That the President ol
thia association be authorized to ap
point a committee of three members
to appear before the board of trus
tees of the A. and M. College a!

The Gin that Does Perfect
Work Under All Conditions
If weather and labor conditions were always ideal, there are several systems
on the market that could handle cotton and produce a fair sample. But ideal
oonditionsare the exception. Most of the cotton that comes to the einnerTis
exceedingly dirtvand trashy and much of it is wet. he ordinary s>stem cannot
do anything with it. It requires the exceptional systein-thc Munger System.
The Munger System thor
oughly cleans and dries the
cotton before it delivers it to
the feeders. The process of
handling the cotton in the
elevator, separator and dis
tributor, in addition to remov
ing all the trash and dirt,
opens up and loosens the
cotton, leaving it in the best
possible condition for the
gins to handle.
In cases where the cotton
is particularly dirty and trashy
the operation of separating,
cleaning and drying can tie
repeated before delivery to
the feeders. On this account
the Munger System can
handle cotton under any and
all conditions and is the only
outfit which can.
Munger
System Outfit
This is only one ol the many exclusive features which put the Mun«r
System in a cfass by itself. Every ginner should study these features carefully.

Munger System which we will send to those interested.

Afraid to Stand Fire.
The meeting of the Board of Trus
tees of the A. A M. College, which
had been publicly announced and to
which the above committee was to
present the protest of the stock
breeders of the State, was suddenly
called off too late to prevent some
of the members making the trip to
the college. This was a regular
meeting of the Board established by
long custom and Its calling off is a
moat open admission of weakness or
cowardice.
