take from the activities of this world the soul
of Bro. l.. n. BRADFORD, Of Ocean Springs,

1t Is Fully Sustained by the Supreme
Court.
LANSING, Jan. 27.-In a unanimous
opinion written by Justice Montgom-
cry, the supreme court Friday affirmed
the constitutionality of the general
banking law of the state. The case was
that of Edward j. Bissell. receiver Of
the Milford State bank, which failed in
September, 1891, VS.. Francis Heath, one
of the stockholders of that institut ion.
The constitutionality of the banking
law was attacked on the following
grounds: First. that the title is double;
second, it attempts to confer upon the
receiver the judicial power to adjudi-
cate claims to be paid in the course of
liquidation; third, that as applied to
the present case, it impairs the obliga-
tions of contracts made by shareholders
before it's passage. by imposing liza
bility not before that time existing.
The court considered all these objec-
tions at length. All were overruled,
and the constitutionality of the law
fully sustained.

quent Taxes by the Thousands.
LANSING, Jan. 31.-The decision
handed down in the supreme court Dec
4, in the case of Cole VS.. Shelp, in which
it was held that lands sold for delin-
quent taxes under the law of 1889 or
1891, which gives the owner of the
property day in court, is making
business for Auditor General Turner
and his force.
The decision holds that when prop
erty owner fails to pay his taxes and
subsequently fails to take advantage of
his day in court the land must be sold,
and the tax title becomes an absolute
deed to the property, the holder thereof
being authorized to institute ejectment
proceedings if necessary to secure pos
session.
Heretofore it has been supposed that
q tax title could he defeated in the
courts at small expense. but this de-
cision disposes of that theory. AS re-
suit of the courts ruling property
owners whose real estate is delinquent
for taxes assessed since 1887 are rush
ing in from all sections of the state and
paying up in order to save their posses
sions. while tax title sharks are equally
as active in their endeavors to purchase
valuable property at nominal figure.

$4,000 on these old matters last week,

WRITTEN BY JUSTICE HOOKER OF
THE SUPREME COURT.

Case of william q. Saunders Versus Ken
nedy Hanna Decided-The Court Legal
ICES Throwing Out Votes From the Sol
diers' Home--Hoids That the Inmates
Are Not Qualified Voters.
LANsINas Jan. 30.--An opinion was
handed down by the supreme court last
Friday which, although brief, disposes
Of very important question.
The opinion was one in the case OF the
people on the relation of William G.
Saunders against Kennedy Hanna. and
was written by Justice Hooker.
"Relator and respondent were oppos-
ing candidates for Justice of the peace,
the latter being declared elected. Upon
quo warranto to try the title to the
Office, it appeared that respondent upon
the face of the returns had majority
of votes. 1t also appeared that 80 in
mates of the soldiers home admitted
from other localities voted at such cleo
ton. and that it was impossible to
ascertain for whom they had cast their
votes. The relator had previously re-
quested one of the inspectors of cleo
ton to challenge such voters. but such
inspector failed to do SO, fearing dis
turDance.
Under the holding of this court. in
the recent case of w olcott VS. Holcomb,
the 81 persons alluded to were not
qualified voters, and as it is impossible
to ascertain which candidate received
the greater number of votes, the vote
of the precinct must be excluded.
sit is contended that the relator is
estopped from attacking his opponents
title to the Office because he did not
personally challenge these voters. 1t
does not appear that he was present
when these votes were cast, and he was
not bound to anticipate that disqualified
persons would attempt to vote AS q
precaution he appears to have directed
an inspector to challenge any such
votes that might be offered, which in
dicates that he was not, as intimated,
disposed to take his chances upon get
ting their votes, and then attack the
election upon this ground if defeated.
The judgement will be affirmed"
