but the surplus of the bank is subject to
taxation. Mr. Justice White dissented
from so much of the opinion as held the
surplus liable to taxation.
The Mercantile bank is not entitled to
exemption from all taxation, except half
per cent on its capital on stock, on the
ground that il is the successor of the
Goyoso Saving Institution, chartered in
1906 with such an exemption in its charter.
The case of the Phoenix Fire and Marine
Insurance Company presented no federal
question and the judgment of the state
court was affirmed for that reason.
The Memphis City Bank does not pos

The Union and Planters Bank sued in
the United States court for the western
district of Tennessee for an injunction to
restrain the state officials from collecting
taxes on its capital stock. The district
court issued the injunction, but the SUI
preme court reversed the judgment to
that effect holding that the stock was
liable to taxation.

SAM JONES AND THE MINISTER'S.
Atlanta CIerEymen Given n Rap for
Refusing to IndOrse Him.

Atlanta CIergymen Given n Rap for
Refusing to IndOrse Him.
Atlanta, Ca, March 2.-Rev Sam Jones,
the evangelist, who, in one of his ser
mons declared that He did despise dull
time had a lively enough time of it at
the meeting of the evangelical ministers
of the city to-day. Yesterday the Rev.
Sam Jones opened up a series of meetings
in the Moody tabernacle announcing in
advance of his coming that he would
shell the woods in these parts for thirty
days or more.
The evangelists methods of raking the
tall timber have always been a source of
dlssenuon among the regular preachers,
and when the question of indorsing him in
his campaign here came up before the
preachers to-day, there was a division and
lively spat between them. Rev DIR.
Hawthorne. who rarely misses an OPP
portunity to use his raparer on the worldly
minded of his flock, espOused the cause
OF the Gainesville evangelist declaring
that all he said about the immortality of
the people of the town was true, and
that the ministers ought to turn in and
help Mr.. Jones purify the atmosphere.
The preachers, however, would not go
on record as indOrsing Mr.. Jones, but
finally passed a little resolution welcom-
ing him 10 the city, and signifying their
willingness to cooperate with him in his
EFFORTS Those who opposed an indorse-
ment said they did not approve of the
Mr. Jones, himself, was present at the
meeting and when it came his time to
talk, he gave the preachers a character
istic sailing down. He said that he did
nor want them TO indorse him. He never
asked for Endorsement because he could
not indorse himself. Further he told the
assembled ministers that if they would
look back over their own records for ten
years, he didn't think that any of them
would indorse themselves. He told the
quibbling preachers that they We're like
two fellows fishing. One with a hook and
line sat all day over a mud hole ana didn't
get a bite. The other came along with a
seine and caught a barrel of fish out Of
the same hole. OF course, the fellow with
the hook got mad The trouble with him
and the preachers, he said, was remindful
of a visit he made to a dog kennel once
to buy a st. Bernard dog, He saw a lot of
pups, all of the same pedigree, but differing
in price. When he asked about this the
manager told him that the price was reg
ulated by the marks on the nose The

A BOND CASE DECIDED.
The State of North Carolina Defeats
the BOndhOIders.

The State of North Carolina Defeats
the BOndhOIders.
Washington. March 2.-The cases long
pending in the supreme court of the Unit
ed States as to the validity of the bonds
issued by North Carolina under the or
dinance of the constitutional convention
of 1865 in aid of the Chatham railroad,
were decided to-day in favor of the state.
The constitution of 1868 gave to the su-
preme court of the United States the
power to hear claims against the state
and recommend them to the legislature
for appropriation is sustained. An amend
ment to the constitution adopted in 1887
took away this power of the supreme
court. When the plaintiffs in these cases
asked the state court to pass upon their
claims for the amount of the bonds and
coupons held by them. the court held that
its power to do so had been taken away
by the amendment referred to. The SUI
preme court of the United States held
that there was no impairment of contracI
by the repeal of the power given to the
state supreme court in the constitution
of 1865. The judgment of the state court
in favor of the state was affirmed

(KTith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
1y removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that ii is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tlves or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slzillful
physicians, but If in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the wen-informede everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
