Il vantageous price, the bankrupt
stock of S. L. HOBBS & CO., and have
opened first-class GROCERY STORE
in the room formerly occupied by
them.
It Is unnecessary for me to assert
now that the Hobbs stock was one of
the most select in the town Of York
Vile. This fact is we'll known, and the
price at which I have secured it, en-
ables me to offer unusual attractions
to the retail trade.

A Blow at the colored Cook.

The police of Meridian have
set an example which if carried
out to the letter will have the ten,
denoy of breaking up the bucket
brigade and forcing white woman
to do their own cooking. 1t is d
well known fact that whenever
a ''colored lady, cooks for the
white trash She steals, She has
six children and two husbands to
feed and she must get the grub
from some source. Hence every
night Just before starting FOR
home she hauls out hcrtwo gallon
bucket and fills it with the best
on the place--grub she was parti-
cular in saving out for herself and
folks. The police of Meridian
now propose to arrest these cooks
as they emerge from the kitchen
well loaded for black bucks and
make them give an account of the
grub contained in their buckets
The other day two were arrest
ed and mayor fined them for
stealing
That is the proper way to do it,
but a very serious question comes
in here. II they are not allowed
to steal, which they consider IL
understood when they are en-
ployed, they will quit cooking at
all and the white women will have
to take their places. Everybody
who has ever hired q colored wo-
man to cook knows she will not
eat on the promises, but takes off
her meals in her bucket. and what
it takes to feed her is governed
by the capacity of the bucket or
tho fact that the grub is not on
the place. ra N
OF course in this instance the
police are right, but cooks are
going to be mighty scarce in Me-
ridian hereafter. - Hattiosburg

bd.
He recommends q change in the
matter of taxing insurance com

each company pay 2 per centun
per annum upon its gross pre-
miums. such taxes to be paid in !

Auditor Cole belicFes that all
State officers should be bonded in
surety companies, the State pay
ing the cost. He also recommends
that all land records he moved |
from the Auditors office To that /
of the State Land Commissioner.
There are other recommends |

est to the people. He is making

Decision Against Gulf 6 Ship island
Raii Road.

A press telegram from Wash
ton, dated last Monday, says.
The supreme court has affirmed
with costs the decision Of the low
CT court in the case Of the Gulf
and Ship Island Railroad CON.
pany, plaintiff in error. against
George Z. Hewes, tax collector,
etc, of Mississippi. This case
comes from The Supreme court OF
Mississippi.
Ad yalorem taxes imposed and
levied upon the railroad Of tile
Gulf and Snip Island Company
and a privilege tax for the year
1896 form the subject matter of
the controversy. The litigation
originated by a writ of injunction
issued on bill filed by the rail
road company against the tax-col,
lector, when injunction was dis
solved on demurrer to the bill.
The railroad company denied
liability npcn the ground that un-
der valid contract With the State
Of Mississippi made in 1882 and
still in force, although nearly ex-
plred. the property upon winch
the said taxes were imposed, or
sought to be IMPOSED, was exempt
from taxation, and also that by
the same contract the company it.
self was exempt from the pay.
ment of privilege taxes. As the
Judgment now sought to be re-
versed adjudges the right of reg
covery of the taxes in questio.
and subsequent legislation is
enforced enforced, the case arises
under the contract clause of the
constitution of the United States.
! The tax collector challenges the
Jurisdiction Of this court and then.
on the merits, contends that the
statutory. contract relied on by
the railroad company was uncon-
stitutlonal and void from the be-
ginning, and that il valid it was
repealed by subsequent legislation.
The railroad company was in
corporated in 1882, and its charter
contained . provision exempting
il from taxation for twenty years.
The State courts, however, held
that this charter was repealable,
and that it actually was repealed
by the adoption by the State of
| the Annotated Code, which was
adopted by the State in 1892. The
decision by the State court made
the question local aud not q fed
eral question in the opinion of the
! United States Supreme Court,
and because Of this view the opin-
! Jon handed down today affirmed
the decision of the Supreme Court
of Mississippi. The effect is to
hold the railroad companyrespon-
sible for taxes, regardless of the
exemption of its charter. The
court also held that the railroad
company could not claim immune
/ ty from taxation on the ground
that its property was of a priyileg
ed character.

Auditor Coles interesting Biennial

Yazoo City Herald.
The Herald Is indebted to Hon,
w. Q. Cole for copy of his
Biennial Report as Auditor Of
Public Accounts of the State of

ports, this one contains much
matter of general interest to the
people of the State. Being a

cxcellent showing when il is cons
sidered that every appropriation
made by the Legislature has been
paid and Ia addition near $40o ,O0C
worth of bonds called in and re-
tired.
lie urgently requests that an
other assessment of realty be
made next year and every two
years thereafter, instead of every
fouryears, as the law now requiFes.
"Our land rolls says the audi

satisfactory in maiorities Of the

the Legislature order Il new as

that future generations as well ss

A press dispatch from Jackson
says that Bishop q. b. Galloway
|of the Methodist Church, has
launched a campaign to secure
the repeal Of the sections of the
State constitution which prohibit
any device or bequestto a religious
ecclesiastical or charitable insti-
tation. In a lengthy article Bish-
|op Galloway says that this consti-
Itutional provision dIscourages be-
ncvolence and dries up the very
fountain Of beneficence, and Mis-
Sissippl is almost the only State in
the union having such a law in Of
lect. The constitutional sections
referred to by Bishop Galloway
were originated in the convention
OF 1890, and his advocacy of their
repeal will doubtless attract much
attention throughout the State.
