Book Description
Excerpt from Eighth Biennial Report of the Railroad Commission of the State of Mississippi: For the Two Years Ending June 30th, 1901 To His Excellency, A. H. Longino, Governor: In compliance with Section 4338, Chapter 34, Code of 1892, we have the honor to submit herewith the Eighth Biennial Report of this Commission, for the two years ending June 30th, 1901. The facts as given show the work done by the Commission, the changes made, and reductions put into effect by the different lines, through the orders of this body. There are some changes in the law which this commission would like to suggest, but owing to the fact that it would be impossible for the Legislature in a short session to handle them, these changes will not be brought to your Excellency's attention until our next Biennial Report, which will come before the regular session of the Legislature in 1904. Organization. The Commission was organized as follows: John D. McInnis, President. A. Q. May, J. C. Kincannon, Commissioners. John A. Webb, Secretary. Docketed Cases. The Commission have handled one hundred docketed cases, and equally as many more of less importance, settled by correspondence. Of the important cases handled by the Commission, may be mentioned: The Commission vs. All Railroads. Cotton Seed Rates. Car Loads, and Less than Car Loads. The Commission being of the opinion that the rates as charged on cotton seed were too high, as compared with other commodities, summoned all the traffic officials to appear, with the view of a general reduction in said rates, and the formulation of a joint tariff on said commodity, when shipped over two or more roads. In this effort the Commission were met with a good deal of opposition, and in the case of the Y. & M. V. R. R. Co. and I. C. R. R., were carried into the United States Court by injunction, restraining the Commission from interfering with the tariffs of said roads, or any change in their then tariffs.

Book Description
Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Mississippi State Board of Health: 1886-1887 To His Excellency, Robert Lowry, Governor of the State of Mississippi: One of the penalties of civilization in a country with large foreign commercial connections like our own, is its increased liability to epidemic diseases. Of late years these diseases have either occurred, or threatened too often with us that many of the States have deemed it of vital importance to organize their medical forces against such, and even when neither were present, through prudential motives, to keep a standing army as it were in the form of boards of health with their accessories, ready at any time to be mobilized and concentrated at points where they were most needed. The origin of our own State Board of Health can be attributed to this cause. Being one of the Gulf Coast States, Mississippi in common with the others, might be regarded as one of the "Gates of Entry" of epidemic diseases in the United States especially that of Yellow Fever which originates in countries South of us. Feeling deeply our share of the responsibility in preventing their ingress into and through our State, the State Board of Health has, both in and out of season, been on the alert closely watching such territory which has been under its control. Several times epidemics have theatened especially two notable instances, one of Small Fox, mentioned in the report of my predecessor Dr, Kittrell, and latterly that of the so culled Biloxi Fever in the past year, the first named was stamped out, and the latter so confined, that it did not spread beyond the county in which originated. Since my term of office commenced we have had in the State no epidemic save that of the Biloxi Fever, but from time to time there has been a prevalence in different localities of infectious and contagious diseases such as typhoid fever, measles, dj sentery and mumps: the average health of the State hasbeeu good. Leaving out physical causes this can fairly be attributed to the increased knowledge the people have of both public and personal hygiene, such as proper attention to drainage, the greater care given to potable water, the proper appreciation and use of disinfectants and the bserance individually of good hygienic habits yet, - there is much unlearned. The importance of the subject is my excuse for mentioning that which Dr. Kittrell, amongst other matters, so wisely dwelt on, viz; the working of our law "To Regulate the Practice of Medicine."
