France Requires Seats for Female Store Helpers Law Enacted
A new French law from the start of the year requires store owners to provide seats for all female assistants, with each room to hold as many seats as the number of women employed. The rule follows a British law of 1899 and mirrors similar measures in Germany and the Louisiana statute, while Mississippi talks of proportional seating and warrants gubernatorial action for its enforcement in specific cases. The report also notes two Mississippi murderers Gilbert Williams and W A Harveston facing death by hanging on May 31 unless the governor intervenes.

More Cotton or More Hogs for Mississippi Farms
The piece argues high hog prices favor pork over cotton as farmers face drought-era costs. It urges replacing cotton with pasture crops like oats, rye, peas, and peanuts to cut corn needs and boost meat yields. Experiments by Prof. Duggar show peas and peanuts on cropland can yield meat worth more per acre, suggesting a shift toward hog crops and away from cotton to improve profits this season.
