The compensation of assessors for
enumerating educable children was not
increased by the last legislature, as
some have gained the impression be-
cause of an amendment offered. Section
4, 059 of code was amended SO as to read:
"As compensation for the enumeration
of the educable children the assessor
shall receive out of the county school
fund. upon allowance made by the board
of supervisors, two cents for each child
enumerated in the county outside sepa-
rate school districts, and the assessor
shall receive and the assessor shall
receive out of each separate school dis
trict fund. upon allowance made by the

More Revenue for tho State.
The secretary of State having SUBJ
mitted this query to Attorney General
McClurg-
do the provisions of the act pre-
scribing fees to be collected by the Sec
rotary of State apply to foreign cor
porations or companies doing business
in the State, through drummers or sam.
Piles, where the goods or manufactured
products are sent direct to the pur-
chasers?"
The attorney general answers:
ut does not matter how the business
is transacted, whether through drum
mers, by sample, or otherwise, nor that
the goods or products are shipped direct
from the factory in one State to the
purchaser in this, nor that the debt is
payable in another State. 1t is the act
and fact Of doing business that controls.
THE people of this State transacting
any kind of business with a foreign
corporation (for profit are entitled to
have easy access to their charters, that
they more readily and satisfactorily
consider the character, powers and liza
bilities of the concern with which they
are dealing, as are the State officials to
determine whether such corporations
are abusing or exceeding their lawful
powers"
The attorney general holds that the
statute enacted at the last session of
the legislature lis but the reasonable
exercise of the constitutional power of
the State to prescribe conditions upon
which foreign corporation may do
business within her limits, and in no
manner does it interfere with inter
state commerce.
"A single and isolated transaction in
this State by a foreign corporation
would not require the filing of its char
ter here, but every foreign corporation
for profit, except insurance companies,
sending it's solicitor or salesman here,
or otherwise doing business with the
people of Mississippi, should file the
charter in the office of the secretary of
State and pay the fee of SIS, in default
of which it is liable to fine of SIS, not
considering the question as to its right
to continue its business in the State, or
it's power to collect it's debts or to en-
force its contracts while doing business
in violation of this statute"

The Extract OF
Benne Plant
Is Natures Own Remedy

First used by the Mississippi river steam
boat men in the "early forties," who drank
their "Benne Tedd" from the hands of the
colored "aunties." They STEPPED the leaves
in hot water. and the verdict of these
steamboat men was that It did the busi-
ness"
In 1S41, James and Constance Mcguire
secured some of these miraculous leaves,
and, upon investigation, discovered that
they are identical with the Sesam. Ind.
(Benne-Leaves). and, as the same indi-
Gates, native of India. containing a muci-
laginous substance of soothing and healing
properties. Nature here furnished a rem
edy for diseases such as Collie, Cholera
Morbus. Diarrhoea, Dysentery and kindred
ailments. After experimenting, the
Messrs. Mcguire succeeded in chemically
combining the use of the Benne-leaves
with other vegetable substances. and so
furnished a remedy that has saved thou
sands Of lives.
