not check the name as paid; and
as in the above instance the name
of Tom Kyzar goes in as a delin-
quent, when in reality he holds a
receipt under the name of I. B.
Kyzar, his real and full name.
In all of such cases the only safe
course to pursue was to report
the pame as delinquent and at the
same time keep a list Of those who
had paid as shown by the receipt
stubs and who had not been listed.

kept an accurate list of those who
paid and were not listed, as you
will see from such list herewith
submitted.

names on my alphabetical list for
which there is corresponding
receipt stub, the remaining names
on the list that were not marked
checked were thereby shown to be
delinquent. Then it remained to
copy alphabetically from this list
the delinquents from each election
district. / herewith submit my
alphabetical lists, by election dis
tricts; and they show total delin-
quents as follows: District one,
302; district two, 379; district
three, 402; district four, 209; dis
trict five, 491; making a grand
total in the whole county of 1888.
The total number of hands listed
by the commissioner in the entire
county is BITS; and the total num-
ber of those who paid this com
mutation tax, who seem not to
have been listed is $50.

all lists, receipt stubs, books and
papers which were turned over to

Remanded to Jail Without Benefit of
Bail.

JEFF Sauls and Win. Davis,
charged with the murder of Sim
Stovall, colored, had prelimina-
ry hearing before Justice ". G.
Summers in District No. 3 last
Friday and Saturday, and on the
showing made against the accused
by the State, they were remanded
to Jail without the benefit of bail
to await the action of the Circuit
Court.
The evidence brought out on
the trial showed that on the night
of Nov. -, that one or more per-
sons hailed at the gate of Sim
Stovall, a colored citizen of Beat
3, feigned to have lost the way,
and inquired the direction to the
right road. Stovall appeared at
his door and gave the asked for
information. When he had done
this, he was requested to bring
his unknown guest match.
Fumbling around on his mantle
piece, he. at length found few
matches, carried them out to the
gate and delivered them and was
near the door on his bay back to
the house, when he was shot in
the back. He managed to crawl
into his cabin, lay down on the
floor and died IN about 80 min
utes, without making any state
ment of the identity of the person
who did the shooting.
Certain suspicious facts and cir
cumstances led to the arrest of
JEFF Sauls, a young white man
about 20 years of age, and VIM.
Davis, negro youth about II or
IS, as the perpetrators of the das-
tardly crime. Stovall was the
uncle of Davis, and not long ago,
when Davis mother died she had
left a will bequeathing her per-
sonal property and an insurance
policy for a few hundreds to her
son, to be turned over to him
when he became of age, with his
uncle, Sim Stovall, as her execu-
tor. The young negro wanted to
obtain possession of the property
at once, and because he was refus-
ed by StovaIl, who insisted on
carrying out in good faith the
terms of the will, is supposed to
have furnished the motive for
murder.
When arrested and placed in
Jail, Davis made a confession in
which he stated that the murder
was discussed and planned by
himself and SauIs, and that the
killing was done by the latter.
This statement or confession was
produced at the trial and reiterat-
ed by Davis. Davis and Sauls are
said to be fast friends and very
intimate, and the theory of the
State is that Sauls planned the
murder and carried it out for the
purpose of getting 2 part of the
money Davis hoped to realize
when Stovall was out of the way.
The State was represented in
the preliminary trial by M.
Mccullough and the defense by
E. B. Harris, and the proceedings
occupied nearly two full days, as
a large number of witnesses were
Examined.

DELINQUENT ROAD HANDS.
Report Of M. Mccullough 70 Board of
Supervisors at November
Meeting.

To the Honorable Board of Super
visors of Lincoln County.
In pursuance of your order
made at your October session, ap-
pointing me to make out list of
the delinquent road hands, by
election districts, in the county
for the year ending September the
1st, 1905, l beg leave to report:
(1). That l endeavoled to col
lect together all the lists, books,
receipts, etc., made by the road
commissioner relating to the road
hands for last year, all of which |
herewith refer to as part of this
report.
~. The job of preparing de-
linquent list as directed | found to
be more tedious and difficult than
| had contemplated; and in the
very beginning found it neces-
sary to make from the commits
sioners' lists a complete alphabet
cal list of all the hands in the
county, Indicating by the side of
each name the election district in
which it belong. This alphabet
cal list made by me, | herewith
submit.
81. Then from the receipt stubs
turned over TO me, | checked off
on my alphabetical list every
name which the stubs showed had
paid the road tax for the year
ending Sept. 1, 1905. In check
ing off these names | found con-
siderable difficulty in great
many instances in finding name
on the alphabetical list to cores
pond with the name on the re-
ceipt stub. Many names of per-
sons with two names we're listed
as having one name; thus the
name of I. B. Kyzar. by which
name he is receipted for, was list
ed as merely Tom Kyzar; and SO
with many others. Where the
names on the receipt stub and the
alphabetical list did not corres-

Mitchell Strother.

In the wedding of Mr.. Thomas
j. Mitchell, Jr., and Miss Launa
Strother, which occurred at the
rectory of st. Andrews Episcopal
church last night at 8 o'clock, the |
Rev. Walter G. Whitaker officiat-
ing, Jackson people are treated
to genuine sensation and very |
great surprise.
1t was not at all suspected even
by their most intimate friends
that there was anything more
than mere friendship between
Miss Strother and Mr.. Mitchell.
The latter has not been markedly |
attentive to her, and mutual
friends thought that if Miss
Strother had any idea at all of
getting married, the groom would
be almost anyone else who might
be imagined than Mr.. Mitchell.
The affair was not decided upon
until late yesterday afternoon, or
last night, and at $50 O'Clock a
messenger was sent to Deputy
Circuit Clerk George Swami, and
be obligingly issued the docu-
ments necessary. DR.. Whitaker
did the rest, in the presence of
the BRIDES brother.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell repaired
to the Edwards Hotel and at mid
night took the northbound train
for Memphis, where they will re-
main for few days before
returning to jackson.
Of Mr.. Mitchell there is little
to be said that is not already
known. For the last fifteen years
he has been one of the leaders of
society in jackson and is a favor
ite in circles extending beyond
the confines of Mississippi. He
is young man who has many
friends, and is highly regarded by
all who know him.
Miss Strother is the ward of
Mr.. W. M. Anderson, cashier of
the Capital National Bank, and
one of the most beautiful young
women who has ever been In this
city. She has been great favor
ite socially, but with a younger
set than that which Mr.. Mitchell
has adorned, and for this reason
as much as any other, the affair
was surprise to all who know
both of the contracting parties.
The best wishes of a very large
list Of friends will follow Mr.. and
Mrs. Mitchell and welcome them
to Jackson on their return from
the honeymoon. Clarion Ledger.
The fair bride in the matrimo
nial alliance referred to in the
above, was reared in Brookhaven,
where she has numerous friends.
Many good wishes 60 out to her
in the important step she has
taken.

To be such successful wife, to re-

constant study.
IL n woman finds that her energies

dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, whites, irreg-
ularities or the blues, she should start
at once to build up her system by a
tonic with specific powers, such as

TALK ON EDUCATION

Bishop Restarick gave his second
sermon on Education" at St Andrews
Cathedral yesterday. There was large
congregation, notwithstanding the in.
clement weather. including some of the
prominent teachers of the Honolulu
public schools The Bishop referred
to the old anecdote of Bishop Whip
pie who ministered to the Indians Of
Minnesota so successfully: how that
when Bishop Whipple hesitated to
leave his coat in the wagon for some
time he was assured that 1t was per-
fectly safe "as there was not a white
man within twenty miles of the place"
Bishop Restarick contends that pure
ly secular education does not build up
character. That 1t does not make q
man manlier. Education without moral
training will make man vicious. The
prisons are filled not with ignorant
but with educated men and those
States with the highest pei centage of
crime, like Massachusetts,. have also
the largest percentage of population
that can read and write. There must
be religious training of the young.
