Adams has turned over to tho tax
collectors of several counties the list
of solvent credit back tax delinqu-
enoies as revised and approved by the
boards Of supervisors, and the colleo.

agent have approved and tho solvent

business like manner and is compare
lively free from friction, although the
result in each county generally occa-
sions much surprise and the casto-
mary amount OF indignation to the
delinquents.

IT. VOTE WAS 1908
Election Returns all in-No Elec-
tions In Many Parts
of State.

Jackson, Miss Nov. 17.-Since the
returns have been received from oil
the counties showing the total Con-
grossional vote on the 4th of Novem-
Der to be only IS, o7S. reports are COM
ing in from many parts of the state Of
failures of the election officers to open
the polls On election day. This neg
lect was manifested not only in the
rural precincts, but in the cities and
towns as we'll, and 1t is roughly esti-
mated that five per cert of the polling
places in Mississippi failed to open,
while in numerous instances the vali-
dity of the election could be contested,
should anybody see fit to do SO, on the
ground that tho election had not been
properly held. At Friar's Point, for
instance, nobody manifested enough
interest to serve as judges and clerks,
and the editor of the local newspaper
took the ballot box and ma 10 q tout Of
the town. After much solicitation he
managed to collect twenty-four votes
for the..Congressional candidate.

YAZ0O CITY IS
HAVING TROUBLE

Yazoo City, Miss, Nov. 17.--Yazoo
City is having considerable trouble in
making a valid issuo of $lfO, 600 in
municipal bonds to be used in estab-
fishing w~aterworks, electric lights and
sewerage. The plans for the three
systems were draw some time ago by
Mr.. Walter q. Kirkpatrick, city en-
gineer of Jackson, and o few days ago
tho issue was sold 10 Cleveland and
ATLANTA capitalists for q prem
jun of IS, 800. Protests have been
filed, however, by several citizens on
the ground that the issuance and sale
is contrary to law, and that tho
amendments to the city charter al-
thorizing their sale are not consistent
with sections 3039 of tho code Of 1898,
and a delay of several months will re-
suit, as it will be ne .essary to carry
the matter to the oircuit court and
thence to tho Supreme Court.
Owing to the fact that no question
of legality was raised By the purolla s.
ers of tho bonds, but on the contrary
they were sold at a good premium, the
delay is regarded as very unfortunate.

THE PRESIDENT SPENT A
QUIET SABBATH
FINE 'P0SSUM DINNER
Holt Collier Has His Dnnder Up
and Vows the President
VIII Get a Bear.

Smedos, Miss. Nov. I7-Sunday was
a quiet day in the Presidents camp
OH the Little Sunflower. The Presi-
dent and several members of the par
ty spent q couple of hours this morn
ing rambling over the forest trails on
their horses. Dinner was the chief
event of the day. The menu includ-
ed roast bear paws and 'possum aud
sweet potatoes. Dinner was served in
simple camp style on a rough rine
board table set up in the open air.
Tin plates and tin cups and tin cans
were used. There were not enough
knives and fork to 60 around and
the colored cook announced to the
amusement of everybody as the party
sat Gown that on account Of the
city of the articles lie had distribut-
ed them only 20 the Colonel, as the
president is invariably called in camp,
and the foreign gentlemen. The Presi-
den Is enjoying his outing very much.
He has not had three days Of such
complete freedom and rest since he
entered the white house.
The insurgent newspaper men re-
turned to the assault. Having been
repulsed on the land side by Mr.. Man.
gums pickets, they resolved today to
try to effect an entry to the camp by
the wafer route. A boat was charter
cd at Vicksburg, according to q story
in circulation here, and it was report
cd to havo left that place at 3 o'lcook
Sunday morning. The route Of the
expedition was to be up the MISSISSIPPI
pi to the mouth of the Yazoo, then up
the little river TO the Sunfower. Tho
distance, owing to bends. is over for
ty miles, but if the party started, it
did not reach its destination. The
river men say there is now q sand bar
at the mouth of tho Yazoo which,
would stop any craft dra wing over
twelve inches.
II Chicago party which Is hunting
with Bob Bobo's pack Of hounds
seventy miles north of hele, Is re-
ported to have had better luck than
the Presidents party, according to a
message received hero today. The
party during the last week baggod
elevon deer and four boar.
Holt Golfers dander is up, and lie
vows that the Colonel will not go
home empty handed. His dogs have
had a good rest Sunday and we're in
fine condition to resume the chase
this morning. The weather however,
is turning cooler, and rain is falling.
A report circulated among the COL
ored people that tho President was
coming to Smedes attracted about L.
600 negroes to the station. They wait
cd until dark before they would be CON-
WINGED the report was incorrect.

Interesting Legal Question.

Brookhaven, Miss, Nov. Judge
Robert Powell has adjourned the
Lincoln county circuit court after q
two weeks session. A large volume
Of civil business was disposed of and
four prisoners sent to the penitentiary
to serve terms ranging from three
years to life.
An interesting legal question was
submitted to Judge Powell in Lincoln
county circuit court, and tho matter
is row under advisement. At tho last
session of the Legislature a bill was
passed TO protect attorneys acting as
counsel for litigants in damage suit
claims by providing that justices OF
tho peace shall make allowance in
court bills for attorneys fees. In case
Judge Powell sustains the point
brought up this law will be practical
ly destroyed, at the counsel for q rail
road company demanded in a trial of
this nature at Broekhaven that the
opposing counsel, being practically n
party to the suit, give bond for COSTS.
Tho plaintiff had given O pauper's
oath. and should the motion be sus-
tanned, it will force the counsel for
litigants to assume equal RESPONSE
bility with their clients.

LIQUOR LAW VIOLATION CASE
IN cOAHOMA..
CONTENTION ADVANCED
Defendant Claims His Saloon was
on a Point of Land a Part
of Arkansas.

Friars Point Miss, Nov. 17.-An
appeal has been taken to tho Supreme
Court in a very peculiar case tried at
the recent session of the circuit court
in Conhoma county. Charles Cook
was indicted and arraigned for selling
liquor without license, and as a dc
Tense he claimed that his saloon was
located in the Jurisdiction of Arkan-
sas. and is therefore not subject to the
laws of Mississippi. He exhibited Ar
kansas Licenses for which over $500
had been Paid, and MAPS were produc-
ed that the point of land on which the
saloon is located. about one mile south
OF Friar's Point, is on the Arkansas
side. Surveyors testified to this effect,
but the prosecution showed that the
land is Mississippi territory and be-
cause by aooretions formed from the
Mississippi shore, and lot from the
Horse Shoe Island further down tho
river. The problem is q complicated
one, and it is understood that the Diet
Tense will endeavor to get the Supreme
Court to transfer the Ease to the Fed
earl Court, as the liqour laws of the
two states are involved. Cook was
convicted in the Coahoma court and
the sheriff has attached his saloon and
he stock Of liquors on hand.

In a special bulletin the bureau of

sand dunes of the Atlantic coast, which
are advancing on valuable property,
may be diverted from their course by

at an angle to the direction of the
prevailing wind. Further drifting of
the dunes may be prevented by plant

of the land can be best accomplished

Before Secretary Root left for New

conference behind closed doors OF the
subject of Cuba with Secretary Hay.
1t is known that no conclusive steps

effsct that the Cubans are divided mp.
on the question of reciprocity as off r
ed. The Cuban Senate is reported to
bo favorable to tho treaty as offered,
With a few minor changes, and there
is no doubs expressed that the Senate
will accept tn, treaty when it is
amended by Gen. Bliss. There is
trouble in the Cuban House which
seems inclined to act independently
Of the United States. Gen. Bliss
will present definite propositions from
this government. He will state the
extreme couces ion which the United
States will grant, which is % per cent
on Cuban products, aud also will give
the Cubaus the lowest possible rates
of concessions which this country will
demand OF Cuba. 1t is expected that
Gen. Bliss will endeavor to close up
the negotiations sp sedily.

ly to be doubted whether the depart
ment will be able to maintain q pol
icy of privacy rs to crop methods
There are already a good many per-
sons in Congress VINO are looking with
very critical eyes toward the Depart
ment OF Agriculture. Should the de-
partment 60 too FIR in any direction
it might find a strong movement on
foot designed to cut soma of its APP
preparations Or statistical work, OF o..
al events, to prevent their increase.
Not only this, but it is entirely within
the power of Congress to make a
complete and throu Oh Investigation of
the Department of Agriculture. One
thing which, il is believed, would BE-
likely to work in this direction is the
expression used in Secretary Wilson's
letter with r ference to cotton growers
and the implication which is thereby
conveyed. Secretary Wilson'S words
were thst''it seems that we are satisfy
ing the growers, and we regret it if we
are not also satisfying those who dea |

it not proper in the province of the
department to satisfy" either the
growers or the dealers. but only to
give out those statistics which will be
OF service and will represent correctly
the true state Of affairs. These may,
or may not, be pleasing to the grow

In his last annual report, Maj. Gen.
Chpffso, commanding the department
of the Philippines, declared that it
will require time, tact aud patience to
ostab!i;h United States authority over
the Moros country in the Philippines.
But he says the purpose never should
be lost sight of. Says the General:
"The sooner the Sultan OF Jo'os, title
actual or assumed, as sovereign and
as sole owner of land in the Jolo arch
ipe'ago shall be quoted, he better for
the situation. Probably there is little
doubt that q money consideration
would relieve the situation Of his
claim and presence. 1t will be impos-
sible for many years to ignore the
Dattos, AMI deal directly with the
Moros, as is done by civilized and
christian people. To advance so far
will consume much time aud nay re-
suit in occasional conflicts for the
modification Of present beliefs to &C.
cord with the above ideas, will in
some cases require that militia be
used" The General advocates a mill
itary-civil + rm of government for the
natives with whom the military is
more or less actively engaged. He
declares that q workable knowledge of
native language is essential and will
be valuable for at least 100 years. He
recommends that congress give a DO.
nus OF 5000 to each officer and enlist
ed man who attains a state of profile
iency in the native languages and S1OO
additional for proficiency in the Span
ish language.

The preliminary steps to getting
title TO the Panama canal are more
encouraging. Mr.. Cromwell of New
York, whose law firm has conducted
the sale of the Canal Company's
property, had a conference with
Secretary Hay recently toloffer any
service he might be able to give to
expedite the pending negotiations.
The Secretay informed Mr.. Crom-
well that there was really small
ground for s~olicitude; that he was
making substantial progress, and
that he was sanguine of a satisfac-
tory and early conclusion of nego-
tiations for right of way. HID there
been undue delay, it was the pur-
pose of the administration to ask
Congress so to amend the Spooner
act so that the agreement with Co
lumbia should not be required to pre-
cede the purchase from the rev
Panama Canal Company. From con-
ferences with a number of Senators.
Mr.. Hay has satisfied himself that
there would be no objection from
Congress to this course of procedure
and with the passage of the pro-
posed amendment this government
would go on and perfect the pur-
chase, and then take up the work of
construction. The fact is not to be
disguised that any attempt on the
part of Colombia to hold up the
United States for the payment for
the right of way CT an additional
sum exceeding the bounds of reason
is to be resisted by this government
to the limit. And it is clear from
what Secretary Hay has said that
the administration has not distressed
itself over apparently dilatory tao
tics. 1t is distinctly recognized that
the canal is q world project. The
international right of eminent do
main is considered in connection
with the canal. and the obstructive
course of Colombia will rot be tol-
Grated a moment beyond the ordina
