Mississippi Legislature Sees Slow Progress In 1904 Session
Five weeks into the 1904 Mississippi legislative session the House and Senate have moved slowly, with only seven bills passed and none of the regular appropriation measures acted on. Discussions focus on the revenue bill, school fund allocations, and proposed salary increases for state officers amid debates on prohibition and local option laws. The Wells Vagrancy Bill update and a measure dividing Marion County into Lamar are among notable items.
