IngerSOll Oh Marriage.

| regard marriage as the hottest in
stitution among men. Without the
fireside there is no human advance
ment without the family relations
there is no life worth living. We
sometimes hear of unhappy marriages.
Well, that is the fault of the people,
not the institution. Every good gov
eminent is made up of good families.
The foundation of good government is
the family, and everything that tends
to destroy the family is infamous. l
believe in marriage and hold in utter
contempt the opinions of long haired
men and short haired women who de-
nounce the institution of marriage.
The grandest ambition any man can
possess is to so live and improve him
self in heart and brains as to be
worthy the love of some splendid wo-
man, and tho grandest ambition any
girl can have is to make herself
worthy of the love and admiration of
some magnificent man. That is my
idea. There is no success without
marriage. You had better be the en-
peror of one loving and tender heart,
and she empress of yours than to be
king of the world. The man who has
really won the love of one good wo
man in this world, | don't care if he
dies in the ditch, his life has been a
success.

Poll Tax Delinquent Law.

The bill passed by the last Legisla-
ture entitled ian act to require tax
collectors to have published list Of
the names Of all persons delinquent
for poll taxes after the 1st of Februa-
ry in each year." and about which so
much has been said in the papers, will
prove failure in many counties in
the State, Kinds among the number,
for the reason that the price allowed
for publication of the delinquent list
is insufficient.
The law provides that the list of de-
linquents shall be printed two weeks
fixing the price at five cents per line
for each insertion, "the total cost not
to exceed $500" This last clause
practically destroys the act, for the
s25 would not pay for the type setting
in the large counties. For instance,
Kinds county has over 5000 poll tax
delinquents, Yazoo over 5000, and
Washington, Warren and other large
counties will have equally as many.
The law is all right but for the proviso
that the total cost should not exceed
SO.
The object of the law Is good and it
is to be regretted that the Legislature
should have crippled 1t by fixing a
price below the cost of publication.
AS a result the delinquent list will not
be printed in Kinds and many other
counties. The law, however, provides
that whenever a publisher refuses to
print at the price fixed that the sher-
if shall post the list Of delinquents at
some public place In the county, and
in both districts in counties having
two separate court districts.
The next Legislature should strike
out the clause fixing the price for pub.
LEGATION at s25, and allow payment per
line or name, for some counties will
have ten times as many poll tax delin-
quents as others. This work, like
sheriff's sales, should be paid for by
the space occupied Clarion Ledger.

FATAL RESULT OF A JOKE.
In which c. O. Mccarthy Is KILLED at
BatesviIIe, Miss.

In which c. o. Mccarthy Is KILLED at
BatesviIIe, Miss.
The Batesville Panolian gives the
particulars of the accidental killing Of
C. o. Mccarthy, member of the Mis-
sissippi legislature, as follows:
Burrel McGinnis, a young man from
Wallace, came to town with the inten-
ton of going to Memphis Sunday morn
ing. 1t has long been a custom of the
young men of Batesville to play a
practical joke on every young man who
comes to town. Chas. o. Mccarthy
saw McGinnis, and thinking him a
good victim, proposed to several young
men that they take McGinnis out and
run him. Dunlap was friend to Nc
Ginnis and told him that the boys
would take him to the woods, shoot off
their pistols and make him run. Nc
Ginnis told Mccarthy that he was &C
qusinted with the joke and that it was
useless to go. Mccarthy was not sat
isfied, however.
When the crowd reached the big
gum tree about hundred yards this
side of COTS pasture gate, they stop
ped. Porter johnson fired off his pis-
toll at tree; then he discharged a shot
straight overhead. 1t struck limb of
gum tree.
McGinnis, no doubt disguised with
the tameness of the joke, started in a
slow walk toward town. Porter John.
son saw him and thinking to accelerate
his speed, raised his pistol to fire a
shot in that direction, but high enough
to prevent danger of hitting the victim.
Charley Mccarthy was coming toward
him along the embankment which had
been thrown up by the side of the ditch,
but the gum tree was between him and
Porter johnson. Just as Charley
passed the tree, and as he was only a
few feet away, Porters finger pressed
the trigger and cartridge struck Char
ley near the center of the forehead, en-
tering the brain and causing almost
immediate death. He rolled to the bot
tom of the ditch and the four young
men ran to him. He was already in
the throes of death, and his struggles
soon ceased.
