General Rumble with the Eighth division

to guard a strong and boldly outlined
frontal position in a country of a de-
cidedly difficult nature. There the Beers

Tor weight and range to our own. How
ever, they show no disposition to do NOR
than keep in touch with us and to har-
rass our advance.
Further on to the west, General Ian
Hamilton, with his division Of mounted

Nevertheless the cavalry, owing to
greater numbers of the enemy, have been
prevented from completing the movement
that was intended to encircle the Beers

There is an intimation that the

a law, regulating the sale and
giving away of cocaine, and fix
ing a penalty for the violation of
the same, is being disregarded.
either through ignorance or will
fully. In either event its Ell.
forcement should be looked after
in every county in the state. In
order that all concerned may
know the provisions of this law
it is reproduced here in full:
Section I. Be it enacted BY
the legislature of the state of
Mississippi, That no druggist,
apothecary, physician or other
person shall sell or give away
cocaine in any quantity what
ever, except to regularly licens-
ed physicians or dentists, or upon
prescription of such physicians,
which shall not be used more
than once or reflled, but this
shall not interfere with the use of
the same by such physicians and
dentists in their practice.
Section =. That any person
violating the foregoing section
shall, upon conviction before
any cour. or competent jurisdic-
ton, be fined not less than $40
nor more than $500, or imprisOn-
ed in the county Jail no less than
one month nor more than six
months. or by both such fine ana

Taxation of Money.

Recently the various county
assessors have been very busy
trying to find money loaned out
at interest so that it may be tax,
ed. A vicious law in this State
aims to tax money loaned at in
terest. Aside from the difficulty
of collecting such tax, the prin'
ciple of the law is wrong.
Money is a universal necessity,
and it should never be taxed.
1t is needed by the poor, by the
energetic and industrious and
for all purposes, It is about as
great a mistake to tax money, or
to attempt to tax it, as II is to tax
the air we breath3 or the water
we drink.
Money should be absolutely
free. Even the stamp tax on
bank checks is a vicious tax, and
should be repealed
One of the greatest blunders
our State persists in is the at
Tempt to tax money.-Ex.

of our state.
In concluding let me say to
the members that in the branch
composed of Attala, Leake,
Yazoo, Holmes and Madison,
we have an amount of business
in force amounting to nearly
one million dollars.
The small assessment, just Is
sued, of 12c. per hundred dollars
will pay total claims to date, a
mounting, in the aggregate, to
about one thousand dollars

To the Public.

Two years ago the Farmers
Mutual Fire Insurance Assorla-
tion of Mississippi was organized
in this State. Before it's advent,
the farmers and owners of coun-
try property were virtually
without the protection Of fire IN
slrance. Old time conpanies
cid not desire such risk, and in
MANY instances. refused to write
poIicies in that line when so re
auested. This association,
working under a plan now ma
tlred by successful operation
ia other states for more than
twenty years, supplies the long
felt want, and commends itself
t, the common sense, sound
Judgement aud favorable consid-
eration of urban property hold
ers. AS a fire insurance me1ium
the association has rapidly forg-
ed to the front-doing a large
business and numbering in its
mem bership many of the best
business men of the State. This
is due to the fact that we offer
cheap insurance limited to actual
cost for with u there is no cost
where there is no fire loss and
that cost is limited to a reasona-
BILE compens alton to our unsalar-
led officers for work actually per-
formed.
Is it to be wondered at that the
association. so inexpensive and
].nretafore unified by the cohes-
i've power of self interest, should
have grown to such proportions
as to excite the jealousy and
active hostility of competing in
suranre companies?
Based, as are all mutual asso-
Citations are upon the confidence
+ nd by the membership in the
officers and in each other, any
thing that shakes the confidence
cf the members must have a ten
d.ncy to weaken if not to destroy
lis organization. Acting upon
this assumption, our enemies
tand they legion, are waging
against us campaign of villifi-
cation and abuse. We "are in
the hands Of a receiver" we are
busted say they and some news
papers, regardless of the damage
which might result, in their Gag
prnesS to publish something SEN
sational, have circulated the libel
throughout the State.
These attacks eliminated last
month in a petition to Chancellor
Conn to appoint a receiver for
the association, based upon the
charge Of mismanagement and
niisappropriation Of funds.
his petition, at the hearing
was dismissed by the Chancellor
after an examination of the Office
books and upon full and search

have proved satisfactory, and
should have been conclusive.
