important Tax Sale Decision.

An important suit which went
up from Kansas was decided in
the Supreme court Of the United
States last week. Because such
law as was sustained there
might be of the utmost impor-
lance to the people of Louisiana,
brief resume may not be out of
place.
Kansas like all new states has
had its boom periods followed
by depressed times. While
money was plentiful many real
estate transactions went on rec
ord, and many people became
Gland poor" When money be-
came scarce and taxes fell due,
there was nothing left but sher-
iif sales for delinquent taxes, and
hen the man with a little ready
money IN his hands was able to
put in thousands upon thousands
of dollars of valuable property.
The legislature of Kansas, de-
termined to protect the people as
far as possible, passed law per.
hitting the county com mission.

'ana's police juries)to buy in such
lands, thus giving a breathing
spell to the delinq uent taxpayer
and at the same time enriching
the general treasury on all unre

t. T. Taylor defended the case.

Another Consumption Cure.

Since King Edward has taken

THEY FIGHT IN SCHOOL
A Bad, Bad Pupil Cuts His Teacher
at Marion.

The correspondent of the Meridian
Star writes to that paper from Ma
rion, Miss, as follows:
This has been a stormy week for
the Marion public school, but it is to
be hoped meeting held by the trus-
tees and the patrons of the school this
Wednesday morning will result in
placid sailing for this institution of
learning from this on.
On last Monday a difiuclty arose
between Mr.. James Bruister, teacher
of the school and James Hassell, a
student, the latter having refused to
attend certain class and is alleged
to have OTHERWISE defied the authority
of the teacher.
On Mr.. Bruister's attempts to en-
force his authority his student is said
to have become very belligerent and
proceeded to carve the teacher with
an ugly pocket knife, while the latter
was forced to defend himself by en-
.0SbfO1 ALS w llA1 viz IVY
Young Hassell ran away from the
school premises and reported the mat
ter to his father, Mr.. NJ d. Hassell.
The latter went to the school house
at noon. AS Mr.. Bruister came out
of the building he was suddenly at
tackled by Mr.. Hassell aud received
several blows on the face. The dis
turbance created a veritable panic
among the school children, and some
of the younger ones fed the scene.
As result of the occurrences re-
lated above, a meeting of the trustees
and patrons of the school was held
this morning. With one or two ex-
eeptions not patron was absent from
the meeting, and after hearing state
ment of the facts in the matter the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted and signed:
Eve, the trustees of the Marion
public shcool, having been called to-
gether by the teacher, Mr.. James
Bruister, to hear q statement from
him in regard to difficulty between
himself and a pupil, James Hassell,
after hearing Mr. Bruister's state
ment we, the said trustees and pa
irons, hold Mr.. Bruister blameless
and as having done no wrong in the
premises.
1--WE furthre endorse Mr.. Bruister
in this matter. -

OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NEGRO

d. f. Hummer, agent of the Libe-
rian Colonization Society of Birming-
ham, is one of the most humanita-
rians in the south or the greatest
fraud. He is arranging for the trans
portation of another shipload of ne
groes to Liberia and will leave Savan-
nah some time in January. This will
be the second or third trip he has
made. He proposes on this trip to
carry about three hundred negroes,
and says that all the necessary arrange
lnents have been completed
Now here is the life opportunity
of some Of the loafers about Hatties-
burg. Let them join Flummer's band
ut once and hesitate not a moment in
doing so. Liberia is great country
for the negro Flummer says so
He says of the many he has trans
ported to that country IS per cent of
them are satisfied. There are more

nlation who are satisfied than in the

LOAFERS ARE FEW.
The West Point Young Men Are
All at Work.

We doubt very seriously if town
can be fuond in this entire common
wealth, in which there are fewer
young men loafing than in West
Point. In fact, out of a population of
5, 900 there is not a single young white
fellow that is in any way profess
sional loafer, and at present we cannot
call to mind more thans one young
man that is now out of work, and
this young fellow is only resting for
a continuous position of several
months, during which time he has
been very faithful to his Guties, and
there is little question that before an
other three months has rolled around
he will again be holding down some
good job. The young men of this
city are the sort that believe in
moving about, snl it is the seldomests
thing that one of them is found idle.
1t is the aetive,l sutling, progressive
spirit of our citizens that has made
West Point what she is today, and
we have the faith in this rising gsn-
Grafton of young men to believe that
they will follow in the footsteps of
their progressive forefathers in sus-
tanning the city's reputation as one of
the Invest and most enterprising in
the commonwealth. Dixie Press.

LITTLE WILLARD PHILLIPS
Of Meridian Shot Dead While Out
Hunting.

A sad accident, attended with fatal
result, occurred this morning 70 the
son of Mr.. E. A. Phillips, Forty
seventh avenue, West End.
The boy, whose name is Willard,
and who is about fourteen years of
age, went hunting this morning with
a party Of his friends, and when be-
low the section houses at West End,
essayed to climb fence with a loaded
shot gun in his hands.
While scaling the fence, the top
rail turned with the weight of his
body, and the unfortunate youth was
thrown down, the gun going off SIM
ultaneously.
The lad received the full load Of
shot in his breast, and expired in a
very short tine.
The accident occurred at about
O'Clock and was witnessed by the
friends of the deceased, all of whom
had gone out with the intention of a
happy day in the hunting field.
The services Of DR.. Turner were
procured as soon as possible, but Will
lard Phillips was beyond the reach of
earthly skill, and his young and
happy spirit had flown to the Maker
who gave it.
The body was brought home to the
residence of the parents, to whom the
sudden end of their son came as a
great shock
Deceased was a fine, manly boy,
and his untimely end is sincerely
mourned by his many friends. -Meri-

chance for them ever TO return 70 this
country where 'possums grow ON per-
simmon trees and chickens roost on
the lowest limbs.
But the Progress will not throw the
damper on the colonization, but will
rather encourage the movement, for it
is very evident that the best class Of
negroes, those who work and try TO
make good citizens, will make no
effort to get aboard of Mr.. Flummer's
ship. They may be promised mule
and forty acres, but they do not like
such promises. There is nothing in
them unless made by the southern
people among whom they were born
and reared But it might be good
place for the loafer where he would
doubtless have a haven of rest, with
nothing under the sun TO do but lie
around in the shade of the trees and
shoot craps without fear of the white
man interfering. By all means let
them go and go arnnning.
