GRENADA WINS ITS CASE
Receiver Of Merchants Bank Must
Pay Taxes TO City.
SUPREME COURT RENDERS IT'S DECISION.
Opinion of .the Chaucery Court Re.
versed, Thus Giving the City
a Victory and $500.

On Monday last Justice Truly,
speaking for the Supreme court, rem
dered a decision in the somewhat
noted case Of A. Gerard, city marshal
OF Grenada and tax Collector, VS.. B.
Z. Duncan, receiver for the defunct
Merchants bank, in which the deciS-
ion OF the lower court was reversed.
AS receiver for the defunct bank Mr..
Duncan refused to pay 1904 taxes
levied against the concern, taking the
ground that the property was not
liable to taxation. The Chancery court
for this district, before which the case
was heard last April, held with the
receiver, and the case was appealed to
the Supreme court. On May 10th s.
A. Morrison argued the case in the
higher court for the city, and w.
9. Mclean represented the receiver.
the result being a reversal of the
opinion of the Chancery court. The
defunct bank, through the receiver,
will now be obliged to pay the tax.
The principles involved in the case
were new in this state, no proceedings
OF a like character having ever been
had in the Supreme court.

BOYS AND CIGARETTES.

The effect of cigarette using by
young boys would be II startling rev
citation to many of their mothers if
they understood the alarming propo-
rtions 70 which it has grown in this
country.
A magistrate in Harlem, n. ",
court recently made the following
significant declaration:
''Yesterday had before me thirty
five boy prisoners. Thirty-three of
them were confirmed cigarette smOk-
ers. Today, from a reliable source,
| have made the grewsome discovery
that two of the largest cigarette
manufacturers in this country soak
their product in II weak solution of
opium"
The fact that out of thirty-five
prisoners thirty-three smoked cigar
cites might seem to Indicate some
direct connection between cigarettes
and crime.
And when it is announced on au-
thority that most cigarettes are
doped with opium, this connection is
not hard to understand.
The cigarette is to young boys very
much like what whisky is to grown
men. If it does not directly cause
crime it at least accompanies it in
nine cases out of ten.
1t must be universally admitted
that the majority of young boys adj
dictpd to cigarettes are generally re-
gardcd as bad boys. 1t is an addic-
ton that does not ally itself with the
high virtues Of manly youth. 1t
leads to bad associations and bad en-
virOnment. He must be Il strange
boy indeed who can derive moral
and physical good from cigarettes.
Opium is like whisky-it creates an
increasing appetite that grows with
what it feeds upon. Even pure to-
bacco has the same effect.
The growing boy who let's tobacco
and opium get hold upon his senses
is never long in coming under the
domination of whisky, too.
Tobacco is the boys easiest and
most direct road to whisky. When
opium is added, the young mans

1t is II deadly combination in most

mon result, even though the habits

"BiSAIN FAC"

The new complaint, "bran flag,
covers "A multitude of ailments. But
it Is to be observed that for the most
part they are ailments of people who
use their brains the least. Possibly
there is Il limit to the brain 5 endur-
ancr But no man has ever yet
found it.
The brain may be likcncd to car
pcnter's chisol; while he has it in
constant use it is kept bright and
keen, and it is only in the hands of
an idle fellow that it becomes rusty,
dull and hard to work with.
People who do heavy intellectual
work are not the ones who complain
Of "brain flag" Their bodies may
run down; their stomachs give out
and their livcrs become recalcitrant,
but the brain, like the much used
chiSeI, is ever ready and equal to all
demands upon it.
"Brain fag' is the new complaint
of the idle rich in New York and
London. 1t will spread. People
who are always looking for new all
ments to complain of generally do
not have to look far.
But "brain fag, - if it is to reach the
highest possible limit of popularity
among the swell set, must be given Il
more exclusive name, such as "cere-
brai fatigue or something which
does not sound common. Cerebral
decay" would be more exactly
expressive, but it is too much
SO. II leaves nothing to the imagI-
nation, and, to the ailments of the
idle, imagination is most important.
Busy people who have nothing to
do but earn their own living have no
idea, of course, of the enormous
strain put upon people who have
constantly to amusc themselves.

ALL VOTERS. BEWARE!
Timely Warning Of DISgT0CG|a
C1ng0ign T0CIiCS.
THLIAFERRO 70 Be ATTACKED At THE
Last MOment-TOo Late For Denial
By False Accusations.

The Democratic voters of every
precinct in the State are hereby
warned that the two principal
opponents of Senator Taliaferro,
Mcssrs. Stockton and Jennings, who
now, as heretofore, are working as a
unit against him, made desperate by
the sense Of impending defeat, are
preparing to deliver u final blow at
him, at the last moment, whenit will
be too late orcpel it, and with which
they hope to turn the sentiment of
the people against him under cir
cumstances which will preclude any
possibility of answer or defense
against such an unfair and dishOnor-
able attack. Voters in all sections of
the state will probably be delugcd
with printed matter from the source
indicated, containing all manner of
false and truculent accusations
which the authors dared not bring
out earlier in the campaign because
of the certainty with which they
would be met, denied and disproved.
The information upon which this
warning is based is deemed trust
worthy, and the only means of
thwarting the threatened assault is
to caution the friends of Senator
Taliaferro throughout the state to
pay not the slightest attention to
anything brought into the contest in
SO steaIthy and cowardiy II manner.
Senator Taliafcrro and his supporters
have ever carefully refrained from
the use Of such disreputable and dis
graceful methods of warfare, and
they profoundly regret the necessity
which impcls the publication of this
warning.
