THE SANDY BAYOU
LEASE SUSTAINED
Supreme Court Decides Adverse
to the Governor in Mandamus
Proceedings to Prevent the
Working of the McLaurin Farm

| The decision of the Supreme Court
last evening in the Sandy Bayou man
damuS suit instituted at the instance
of the governor to prevent the leaS-
ing of the McLaurin farm, Sharkey
county, for convict farming purposes,
terminates this litigation, which has
been very much in the public eye for
the past three or four months.
Nothing could be more decisive
than the opinion read by Associate
Justice Calhoun setting forth the
views of majority of the court. 1t
holds that the Board of Control had
the power to lease lands for convict
farming purposes; that the lease en-
tered into was valid and binding. and
fully sustained by the constitution
and statutes of the state; thai the
Board of Control in matters such as
these acts in a governmental capacity,
and it's acts are not subject to review
by the courts, even if corruption
should be charged, the only remedy in
the latter contingency being either
through the ballot box or the grand
jury room. Associate Justice Truly,
however, did not concur in the latter
view, and Chief Justice Whitfield dis
SentS on all points involved in the ma
jOrity opinion.
The result is just the same, howev-
er, as if the decision had been rem
dered without dissent, and yet a con-
templative view shows how futile,
how utterly useless, court decisions
are likely to be. Less than three
months hence the Supreme bench will
be differently constituted, Associate
Justice Truly being succeeded by
Chacellor II. b. Mayes, who ruled that
the Sandy Bayou lease was illegal,
that the Board of Control tranScended
its authority, and that the inStru-
ment was lease of convictS to II. J.
and not Il lease of lands 10y
the state Therefore, three months
hence, if this Self-Same question were
submitted to the Supreme Court the
decision would be altogether different.
However, such contingency is not
likely to arise. There is no prObabil-
~ OIuU oLC jICiSdOioii Will OC SOLIlIl-
led, since the court has spoken most |
1eciSively and emphatically and the
governor could not afford TO prosecute !
Jhe case, for he would then be accused /
If newly constituting the bench mere
y to get decision in support of his
original contention, and this he is too
honorable to do. The opinion Of
Chancellor MayeS on the points invOl
7ed is we'll known, and it would be
arcial to bring up the litigation for
mother review
The valedictOry of the Sandy Bay
N case can therefore be safely writ
en-, and the people of Mississippi are
heartily glad iG is gone. 1t was con-
eived in factionalism, and has attract

COLLEGES MUST
REDUCE STUDENTS
Mr.. Morrison Will Introduce a Bin
Compelling the Educational H.
stitutions OF the State to Oh
serve Allotment in the Future

We clip the following from the news
columns of the Clarion-Ledger.
If a bill TO be introduced by Mr.
Morrison OF Grenada is enacted, the
enrolment of pupils at the severa4
state colleges will be considerably re-
duced in future, as the several educa-
tiOnal institutions will be required to
observe the law relative TO allOtmentS
from the counties.
This bill is the result of the recent
fight in the legislature over appropria-
tiOnS for the Agricultural and Mech
anical College and the Industrial In.
Stitute and College, and will relieve
the several institutions Of a consider
able burden, as the Preparatory de-
parLments of every one of the higher
educational institutions OF the state
is Overrun.
1t is cOntended by many members
of the legislature that hundreds OF
students are in these institutions
through personal favoritism of state
and county officials, regardless Of the
county allotment, and that it is im-
possible to maintain these institutions
at their present high standard for less
than the appropriations allowed by
the House. Each county in the state
is allowed so many students at the
several institutions, but one county is
cited which, though only entitled t.
one, had forty-one students at one col
lege. The State, it is held, wnik
willing to do all possible in the way
of educating the young men and
women of Mississippi, is unable t.
bear the burden, and there is no way
to curtail the expense except by an OBJ
servance Of the county allotment.
which VIII be provided for in the Nor
riSOD bill.
Mr.. Morrison is friend Of the edu-
catiOnal institutions Of the State
and his fight against the heavy ap
asked for by some of the
institutions was prompted by the i'm
position Of certain counties on these
Institutions, which will continue as
ong as the State will permit affairs to
as at present.

IS ACCUSED OF HORRIBLE CRIME.
A Jersey City Man Is Alleged to Have
Set His Brother Afire While the
Latter Slept,

New York, Feb. 1G.-Accused of
having murdered his brother Carl for
the purpose of obtaining life insurance
money amounting to $4,000, Alexander
Legler was arraigned in court at Jer-
sey City yesterday. The examination
of the prisoner was postponed how
ever, until next Saturday at the re
quest of Chief of Police Murphy, who
desired time to get together his wit
nesses.
The case is one of the most extra
ordinary in the police annals of Jersey
City. Chief Murphy said the prisoner
was suspected of having poured ben
zine over his brother Carl and of set
ting him afire while he slept, and added
that it was believed that when Legler
saw that his brother would not sue
cumb to his injuries he caused the vic
Tins death by administering some
powder presumably of poisonous ma
ture.

 Search Party at Edison Mine After
 Five Miners' Bodies.
 BAKERSFIELD, Cal, Dec. 26-Two offers of marriage and scores of theatrl- cal and other business proposals came in the mail of Lindsay R. Hicks, the recently entombed miner.
 Many showmen have come here per sonalIy to make contracts. One vaude- vile circuit has offered $1,OOO n week. Hicks says he is considering the prop ositions.
 Boxes of chewing tobacco and cases of whisky are arriving at the express offices addressed to Hicks. He declares he never will touch whisky again.
 Hicks accompanied Dr. w. H. Stinch- field on walk of nearly mile and cut a Christmas tree. He needed no assistance and looks to be in normal condition.
 Hicks was born in Clay county, Ky, thirty eight years ago. He has five brothers in Texas and a married daugh- ter in Kentucky. His wife, parents and two sisters are dead.
 T served three years in the Philip pines," he said, "and then intended to go to Australia, but instead I came to California. l enlisted in the Cuban war, but did not get to the front"
 Miners who worked in the rescue party were given double pay by the Edison company. and many received checks for $50 in addition. They are digging for the bodies of Hicks dead comrades.
