Baton Rouge, April 4-The office
of the State Pension Board Is mail
lug the warrants for the first

The large increase IN the number
of pensioners resulting from the

these quarterly distributions task
for the State Auditor, who has to
sign all the warrants issued, and

Supreme Court Decision.

Among the decisions rendered nv
the Supreme Court last Monday
We note the following as being OF
local interest:
Harvey Ellis VS.. Village OF Pearl
River.
This action is brought hy four
persons, who allege themselves n
be residents Of the place known "a
Pearl River, and to be taxpayers
therein They seek TO have tile In
corporation of the village set aside
on the ground that at the time of
It's incorporation it did not have the
number Of inhabitants that the law
required in order to be legally en-
titled to incorporation. That the
census on which The Incorporation
was based was false and untrue
aud hat the Governor in acting
upon it did so in error OF fact. Tn .
defense excepted that the Governor
alone had power and authority to
set aside bis own action; that the
courts were without jurisdiction in
premises. The exception was sus-
tanned and the suit dismissed, and
plaintiffs appealed.
The appeal is dismissed for the
reason that the Supreme Court has
no appellate jurisdiction Of Tie case
There is no allegation showing that
either one of the plaintiffs or all
combined had, as taxpayers, an in
terest sufficient to bring the case by
appeal TO The Supreme Court, nor
what amount of taxes had gone or
would go into the hands of the VIII
lage authorities. The appeal as To
jurisdiction is governed by the or
binary rules on that subject.
The appeal is dismissed.

 Here the speaker told of the forest reserves maintained by the govern. ment and expressed the belief that each state should establish forest reserve of it's own. There should be a state forester to look after the re- serve and several deputies to watch the lands for the prevention of forest lres. He told of the reserves of Ger many and Switzerland and spoke of the forestry school in Pennsylvania and the opportunities for the young man who perfects himself in the sciy ence of forestry. Today there are only a few foresters in the United States. but i'll a few years, the speaker said he believed there there would be thousands of men engaged in that line of endeavor.
 In concluding his remarks Mr. Mills related the autobiography" of an old tree of which he knew and told of the manner in which he had learned many things of life in the history of the tree from an anylitical study of the tree after it was cut down. He suggested the adoption of state tree, as has been done in Colorado where the sil- yer spruce tree was adopted by the children of the state and the action was later sanctioned by the state legislature.

A STATEMENT T
RHODES-HAVERTY FURN. co.

1t is quite hard to make sales with a broken stock, as We could not fit out room, so in order to make our present stock move, we were forced to buy a few more goods with which to fill out, therefore, we have bought two or three cars of nice new. up-to- date goods to fill in with, which makes our stock very complete. They will arrive in two or three days, and these
 goods will be sold cheap, with scarce iy any profit. as we are not expecting
 to make any money. Our object is
 to get our stock down to $3,OOO or
 S4'OOO of strictly staple goods, then 1t will be easy to lump it to some one.
 Our 9x12 rugs have just arrived. and we have big stock and fine as- sortment, and they go on sale at the same low prices as we have been closing out under; that is, $17.5O for the 9x12 Administers. $16.5O for 9x12 velvets. 9x12 genuine wilton rugs. $2S.5O and Brussels at $11 and $13.5O We have nice line of medium priced portiers just received. All goods are
 marked in plain figures.
 We will also extend a few months credit to those who want it, as we expect to be here several months, un- til we can get building at our new
