Game Is Interesting.

Inc game. because of it's novelty and
also the eNeuness of the two teams was
an interesting one from start to finish.
The Fernacular used by the English play

Sanford, Salt Lakes right fullback, was
easilN the best kicker OF the game. and

MERCHANTS PAY THE FREIGHT

AS showing the beauty and SIM
plicity of the law under which the
State Revenue Agent is operating,
we would state that when a man sells
house and lot and accepts notes in
payment the house and lot remain on
the city and county assessment rolls,
as though no sale had been effected,
and the tax is paid just as before,
while the notes are classified with
the solvent credits and taxed to the
full value. Some people call this
double taxation, but it is the law.
And another thing: The State
Revenue Agent can 60 a way back to
the eighties to levy his back taxes on
these solvent credits. But, when a
merchant failed to collect on account
which has been overdue for a period
Of three years if said account having
been made through the sale of the
commodities or merchandise which he
handles, and for which he not only
paid, but for which he rented a store
to hold the goods while waiting fol
customer, bookkeepers to charge the
various items, without getting his
money for the goods, the account in
outlawed.
The same law requires the person
assessed to disprove the assessment,
while the veriest criminal before the
bar can sit calmly before the court,
waiting for the state to prove his
guilt. Verify, it appears as though
the law is taking care of the State
Revenue Agent and the evil-doer,
while the merchants and property
owners are paying the freight boil

LAUGH ON COMMISSION.

The action of the text book com
mission in directing that a chapter
in the Mississippi history be devoted
to United States Senator Money does
not seem to be meeting with uni
versal approval and there are a
number who are disposed to take
umbrage at it, The Columbus Com.
mercial seems to think that the com
mission is trying to play favorites,
and in this connection says:
"The uniform text book comis-
sion seems to be trying to work a
little political job in the interest of
United States Senator Money, by
forcing the author of the state history
recently adopted as part of the pub
lie school course of study for the next
five years to place therein picture
and sketch of that distinguished gen.
tleman. This seems a little far
fetched,'' so to speak, and Is hardly
becoming, in view of the fact
that there is another United States
Senator from Mississippi and that both
he and Senator Money are yet alive.
Why not put picture OF A. j.. Nc
Laurin also in this history? He has
done as much for the educable child
rem of the State as has Senator Money,
and has not been there half so long. :"
