Mississippi Senate Repeats Exemption
of All Factories From Taxation.

jackson, Miss, January 24.-(Special)-
The Senate has repealed the exemption
of all factories from taxation and here
after those enterprises, long exempt, will
pay taxes as the others. An effort was
also made today to exempt money on
hand or deposit from taxation, but that
was also defeated.

card in the famous Sandy Bayou case.
The supreme court knocked him out on
the injunction restraining the board OF
control from working the convicts on SEN
ator McLaurin's farm and he now tries
the sterner proceeding of stopping the
lease by mandamus compelling the war
den to work only lands belonging to
the state.

much strength among the people he
is a popular speaker and keeps up with
current politics. though he is kept busy
practicing his profession.

Proceeding along Mr.. Clemens line of ar

a woman can swear and still be lady
Yet, such is the arrogance of man that
he objects to his wife swearing but revels
in good round oaths himself. The incon-
sistency of such behavior Is apparent to
every one. especially to the woman who

anything worse than OH while a man
under similar circumstances would prob
ably say, ll!l!-!!l!li. Nearly every

No CRATER would shine his own shoes

fact is conclusively established that the
unfortunate Indiana representative has
