For Boards of Supervisors.

The following is a synopsis Of opin-
ions recently given Ivy Attorney Ger
eral McClurg in response to boards of
supervisors:
To jefferson county-A board of
supervisors has no power to order an
election upon the question of removal
of the county seat except by special
act of the legislature. Section go of
the Constitution providing for such re-
movals has never been put in force by
any general law, and wisely so, for
there would be no end to agitation and
turmoil il the boards had this power.
Some court houses would be on wheels.
To Harrison county-A steamboat
plying Mississippi Sound from Biloxi
to Ship Island does not go out of Har-
rison county and cannot dispense in
toxicants without complying with the
dramshop chapter of the code. THE
law is upon the water the same as on
the land"
To Clay county County convicts
sentenced to Imprisonment and turned
over to the county contractor must
work during the whole time of the SEN
tence, then they may pay the fine and
costs and be discharged. The con-
tractor has no right to accept anything
but work for the period of imprison-
ment and cannot lawfully discharge
the convict otherwise.

"Please send us your paper from the

AGUINALDo CAPTURED.

A special cable to the Times Demo
crat, dated March 9th, told of the
capture Of the Filipino leader on the
23rd, by General Funston, assisted by
a number of Macabees. The elusive
chief was betrayed by one of his for
mer officers, who informed Funston of
his hiding place on the Island of Lu-
zon. Assuming the character of in
surgents still loyal to the Filipino cause,
Aguiualdo's representative led the
native scouts, making it appear that
they had captured Gen. Funston and
other Americans of high rank and
we're bringing them into camp to be
delivered as prisoners of war. Then
came the daring part of the plan. The
pretended prisoners at the proper
moment, threw off their assumed char
acters as prisoners and became captors
of the great chief and beat down all
opposition. To accomplish this long
and tedious march was effected amid
never ceasing caution to guard against
treachery. The plan was a success.
1t is thought that the capture of the
Filipino leader, following so closely
upon other American victories and the
establishment of civil government by
the Taft commission, will put a speedy
end to opposition to American arms.
Aguinaldo is detained in a wing of
the Malacanan Palace and takes his
capture philosophioally. He has
fought splendid fight for his coun-
try's liberty, holding the United States
at bay for two years, albeit American
Generals have swept his country with
an army of more than 10000 men, while
his coasts have been blockaded with a
powerful fleet and this after defying
for years all the military force that
Spain could bring against him. AL
though of an inferior race, his inspira-
ton as a leader and his ability as gen
eral deserve tribute and can but awaken
admiration. 1t was of such man as this
that Secretary Long, when asked,
what will be done with him?" said, u
should say he should be spanked with
single" Like Gunner Morgan,
Aguinaldo lacks "Boston culture" and
in the eyes of those clothed with lit
tie authority should be made to keep
his place" perhaps, regardless of the
genius that has shown him to be bet
ter disciplinarian among eight or ten
millions of his countrymen than Long
has been able to maintain among as
many hundreds in the bureaux of the
Navy Department. He was brave
foeman IN every way worthy of our
civilized O. steel and deserves defer
ence at the hands of the nation.
Funston has been made Brigadier
General in the regular army. Mrs.
Funston is said to be the happiest
woman in the Philippine Islands.
On March 80 news comes that Ger
omino has surrendered and as news of
Aguinaldo's capture spreads, the in
surgents become disheartened and
there is marked increase in the num-
Der of individual surrenders.

You will see things in every paper that

No where can you find publica-

grievous wrong, nobody will be hurt,

The Arkansas Legislature has pass
ed a rigorous anti gambling law. The
bill imposes fine of $500 to 81 900 for
gaming, half the fine to go to the in
formant and half to the common
school fund. 1t provides that if any
prosecuting attorney, city attorney or
mayor who shall know or is informed of
any violation of the act and shall re-
fuse or neglect to prosecute shall, upon
indictment and conviction, be fined,
removed from office and disqualified
thereafter from holding office in that
state. During the debate on the bill,
Representative J. w. Clack caused a
sensation by declaring he could have
received two hundred dollars if he
would vote against the bill. Advo-
cats of the bill contend it will be a

The editor of the Hattiesburg Pro
gress has mind of his own and knows
how to express it. Here is recent
sample: "If this state does not estab-
lish reformatory school for boys it
will simply have to buy another farm.
Many kids these days are not worth
the toy torpedo that it would take to
blow them up. They lie around and
smoke cigarettes and would not work
for admittance to circus-but we do
not mean they would remain on the
outside. If the State had a reforma-
tory school many boys could and
would be reformed, but observation
teaches us that the convict farms are
going to be little crowded in the near

THE GOTERNOR AND BLIND
TIGERS.

Governor Longino has received a
copy of the recent report of the grand
jury of Noxubee county on the sub
iect of blind tigers. The report was
sent by one of the officers of the court g,
and the Governor says that it so thor
oughly comedies with his views on
the subject that he gives it to the
press for publication The report is
as follows:
The blind tiger is still to be found
in our midst, though not as boldly and
defiantly as formerly. We have ex-
hausted every means within our power,
and have failed in every instance in
getting evidence against them. If
these evils are to be broken up, it
must be done by the officers of the
law and the good, law abiding citizens
in the towns and communities where
they exist, as nothing can be expected
of those who patronize them. The
law as it is written is entirely sutfi-
cient for their suppression if executed
by faithful officers, backed by a
healthy public sentiment. If those
who wish them destroyed will quit
hurting anathemrs against them at a
distance, and go to making atfidavits
in every case and every time there is
reasonable ground for it, and have
them searched, and goods confiscated
when found guilty, there will not be
many such raids before they will
either seek more honorable occupa-
ton, or like the Arab, fold their tents
and quietly steal away.
There is no difficulty in the matter
federation is no virtue. The blind
tigers will go if they are made to, by
their masters the people, who do not
succumb to their influence or that of
their friends.
