| County Contractor of the prisoners Of Tippal
county, to recover the value of his medical
services so rendered to said prisoner. Only
/ two questions are in dispute, namely Was
the prisoner IN the custody of Harris and was
/ Harris the agent of the Contractor The
| Deputy Sheriff stated that he delivered the
| prisoner to Harris, and who did not object,
| but requested that the prisoner be carried to
the Jail for the night The Contractor says
that Harris was not his agent to receive CON
Victs, but the Deputy Sheriff aud the Sheriff
both testify that they had long been in habit
of delivering the convicts unfortunately to
Harris or the Contractor in person and more
often to the former than the latter.

CHALMERS, CD,
Held
l. Contractors for the labor of county and
State convicts are bound to furnish them with
suitable and necessary medical attention, both
under the provisions Of the Acts of 1873 p. 1914
and those of the Code of 1890 chapter 49,
This obligation is part of the ,price of the
labor obtained, and is exacted and enforced
by the State both upon grounds of humanity
and because it constitutes part of the obliga-
ton voluntarily incurred by the contractor in
making his bid for the convicts.
2 The county contractor could not silently
acquiesce in such reception by Harris and
obtain the benefit of ii so long as it proves adj
vautageOus, and repudiate il when an unfOr-
tunate occurrence made it to his interest to
do So
g. There was no evidence of anything like
surrender and redelivery of the prisoner back
to the county upon the part of Harris or his
principal, and therefore the second charge
asked by the defendant below which was based
on that idea was properly refused
Judgment affirmed.

Whatever other causes may be assigned
for this, it cannot be referred to IN Just
laws, or to the denial or abridgmento Of in
diyidual rights, or to oppressive taxation,
or to misgoFeFnment. Say who may to the
contrary, / doubt if there are eleven hun
dred thousand people anywhere, even in the
most favored portions of this or any other
land, living under the same government,
whose laws are more impartial or more faith
fully executed than in Mississippi. The
steady and patient industry of our people,
manifested by the production from year to
year of almost million bales of cotton, to saw
nothing of other crops and pursuits, is a
perpetual vindication OF, the government of
Mississippi, and it cannot be reconciIed
with the disorder and lawlessness ascribed to
us in some quarters. In material point
of view, our almost exclusive devotion to
the production of single article of indus
try, is our bane. We buy too much and
sell too little Our corn-cribs and smoke
houses are TOO far from home. Our income
is princely; our expenditures are utterly ex-
hausting. Legislation may do something to
remove these barriers t00ur progress, but in
diyidual enterprise and exertion must do
much more. Too much legislation is a
great evil. When life, liberty and prop
erty are secnre-when the public morals
are protected - an efficient system of
public education established, and thd
public health, convenience and safety
weIl guarded, and all at the smallest
practical cost, there is but little omitted
from the fundamental obligations of gov
ernnent. Under these conditions, indiYid-
ual action, diversity Of industry, and above
all the production OF the necessaries of life
at home, ought to cause the springs Of pros
perify to flow, and insure contentment
progress and Independence
Whoever, either in public or private
capacity, contributes to diversity the indus
tries Of Mississippi, and to relieve her from
dependence on other States and countries,
IS hanefactor to the State.

event alluded to, Capt. Won S., of
the Fusiliers, issued the following
verbal order to his company,
through his Sergeant-Major, to he
communicated to the men after the
morning parade: This afternoon q
solar eclipse will take place. AT B
O'Clock the whole company will pa
rade in the barrack-yard. Fatigue

ing set down the commanding Off
GERS instructions IN writing. as he
had understood them, formed the
company into hollow square, at
the conclusion Of the morning drill,
and read iis version of tie orders
to them, as follows: This after
noon a solar eclipse will take place
in the barrack-yard, by order of tie
captain, and will be attended by
the whole company. in fatigue jack
cts and caps. The captain will con-
duct this solar eclipse in person.
