W. Ii. Webb, tax assessor of
Amite county, proponnded the fol-
lowing question to the auditor:
Whether or not cotton that has
been shipped. but still owned by a
merchant or merchants, is subject
to taxation IN the county where the

of Attorney General Johnston and
got his opinion ss follows:
Cotton owned by a purchaser

Gated in the state on that date,

NEWSPAPER LAWS.

The following are the laws laid
down by the United States govern
ment for the protection of news
papers:
eff subscribers order the discoR-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and their paper ia sent to
the former place they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that re-
fuslng to take peri odlcals from Of
flee before removing and leaving
them uncalIed for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound TO give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
on and subscribers will be respon-
sible until an express order to dis
continue the paper with payment
of all Is sent to the publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can
under law, arrest any NAH for
fraud who takes a newspaper and
refuses TO pay for it. Under this
law it is dangerous trick for a
man to allow his subscription ac-
count to ruu on from six months
to a year and then tell the post
master to mark refused or to
send the editor a notice to dlscon.

WHY is the word amen used after
prayer, what does it signify fl.
Fl. u.
1t is a Hebrew word signifying
Yes" "Truly." In Jewish syna-
gogues the amen IS pronounced by
the congregation at the conclusion
of thu benediction. Among the
early Christians the prayer offered
by the Presbyter was concluded by
the word amen, uttered by the CON
gregation. Justin Martyr Is the
earliest of the fathers who alludes
to the use of the response. Accor-
ding to Teriuiian, none but the
faithful were allowed TO JOIN IN the
response A somewhat noisy and
irreverent practice prevailed Ia the
celebration of the Lords Supper
until the sixth century. after which
it was discontinued. Upon the re-
ception both Of the bread and OF
the wine, each person uttered
loud amen; aud at the close OF the
conservation by the priest. all JON
ed in shouting loud amen. The
same custom was observed at bap-
tism, when the sponsors aud wit
nesses responded yehemently. In
the Greek Church the amen was
pronounced after the name of each
person of the Trinity; and at the
close of the baptismal formula the
people responded. AT the conclu-
sion of prayer it signifies accord
ing to the English Church ca1echism)

ShanOWakin.

The above is the name of the new
Indian play which is to take the
country by storm the coming season.
The following notices from the
Music and Drama are published as
interesting to Carson people: John
E. Mack will appear next week at
the National Theatre as the Shane
wakin, in r. C. Whites new drama
tization.
Black Eagle, of the Shanowakin
tribe, of Indians will act as chief
scalper during the run of the play at
the National. He strips $50 pounds.
The rehearsals of The Shanowakin
are being directed by R. c. White,
the dramatist, and the Indians are
adapting themselves to stage re
quirements quite intell:gently.
General Oliver Roberts arrived in
town with fifteen painted warriors of
the plains to take part in the great
production of The Shanowakin at
National Theatre on Wednesday,
the 18th inst.
"Coyote Boy" of the Shanowakin
is only four years old, but he is the
cutest mite of savage that lady
ever went into raptures over. He
plays an important part in the great
Indian drama, written by r. C.
White, at the National Theatre next
Wednesday.
The Indian dresses, war bonnets
and equipments for The Shanowakin
Were gathered by General Oliver
Roberts from various Rocky Mount
ain tribes at a cost of $1,000. A
grand display of real aboriginal
splendor will prove great attraction
at the National Theatre next We'd
nesday evening.
Gen. Roberts, the great Indian au-
thority of the Shanowakin troupe,
which opens at the National on the
18th inst, has had life so full of
weird romance and wonderful adven>
ture that he has had many high bids
for the sole right to publish his his
tory. He is a marvelously interesting
tslker and born humorist.
