b of Respect.

In the death of Mr.. John O'Brien,
our sister town of Wahalak has lost
one of her best citizens. OF rough
exterior, within his breast there beat
a heart of gold. We know thatwhile
others hesitated and held back, John
O'Brien neglected his business and
lent his best energies to nursing the
sick, never ceasing his attentions,
when necessary. It'll Mother Earth
had received back her own. But
few called on him for aid inevam.
This charity toward all was one of
the predominating traits of the de-
ceased's character-what better eu-
logy could be written.
And his death-he died in the per-
Torrance of his duty. Ordered by
competent authority to attempt the
arrest of the negro Simpson, he fear
lessly approache ed the house in
which the darkev a concealed
and was shot down like a dog. The
tabled heroesof days of yore showed
no greater courage than this.
Mr.. O'Brien was born on the 18th
day of April, 1854, and for twenty
odd years has been a resident of
Wahalak. He leaves an aged father
and mother, two young lady daugh-
ters and several sons to mourn his
untimely death. To them we extend
our heartfelt sympathy.

A Sad Death.

One of the saddest occurrences in
the history of Scooba was the re-
turn, Monday morning last, on a pill
grimage to that bourne from whence
no traveller returns, of the body Of
the young wife of Mr.. Watt Daniel,
formerly Miss Eleanor Stuart of this
place.
1T is but a few short months since,
full OF hope and health and energy,
Mrs. Daniel and sweet little daugh-
ter accompanied the husband and
father to Jackson, that they might
be carer the latter's field of labor
and see more of him. Here disease
found her, and although everything
possible was done to save the life so
precious, it was in vain; after a few
weeks illness the loving spirit re-
turned to Him who had given it.
The body reached Scooba on the
early morning train Monday, and
was taken to the residence of the
deceased's uncle and aunt, Mr.. and
Mrs. d. F. Carr. From thence. at
IL a. M, it was conveyed to the
Presbyterian Church, where an i'm
pressive service was said by the
Rev. r.. Lee Craig, rector of n of
the Episcopalian Churches in jack
son, after which the sad cortege
wendell its way to the cemetery
south of town, where the remains
were consigned to their last resting
place.
We shall all miss this fair young
bride-her's was a nature to win adj
mirers and friends underall circun~
stances, and the number of such is
not too great. To the bereaved hus-
band and little two-year-old daugh-
ter, to the loving sister who was
with her at the end. to that fond
uncle and aunt to whom she was IT'S
a daughter, to the many others who
knew her but to love her, the writer
tenders his heartfelt sympathy, and
would point them for solace to the
God in whom their loved n al
ways trusted.

 The inquiry as to the revenue laws embraced House Bills Nos 610, 611, 612. 614 and 616. and the Attorney General deals with the different bills seriatim.
 These measures were among the most important passed by the first half of the legislative session. They were introduced strictly as administration measures. and were rushed through both houses at double quick speed, despite which one or two of them were subjected to amendment.
 The bach of new laws about which the inquiry was made included the act which requires all foreign corporations to pay an annual franchise tax, and the act taxing solvent credits. among others.
 In his opinion, the Attorney General says:
 House 61o Sec. 24 of this act is as fellows: That this act take ef- feet from and after it's passage and approval. The act was approved March ', 1907, and I therefore advise you that the same became effective on the date of its approval
