The |y News says the Americans oov- themselves with glory when they |ured the cup, but that they might
 more renown now by losing it than keeping it under grotesauely un- ll conditions.

Disappointment in Dublin.

ublin, Sept. 26- 6-There Is great dis ointment in yachting circles here E the refusal of the New York Int club to accept the challenge of Thomas Lipton to a contest for the
 erica's cup. The authorities of the Eal Irish Yacht club naturally are
 gent as to whether the conditions he challenge will be abandoned or but among yachtsmen the opinion generally held that the matter is
 ed In reply to a question a promi- |t local yachtsman said:
 In my opinion the whole affair is since a cup race, under the old con pns, is no longer in the category
 sporting. The whole tendency of |er day racing is against freak ks. I hope, however, that some |ns will be found to preserve the |erica's cup as the highest trophy of |line yachting"

WILL RETURN TO SENATE
Hon. Ell. Moore to Again
Represent Bolivar.

Hon. E. H. Moore, of Rosedale,
state senator from Bolivar county,
and the acknowledged leader of
that body is spending the day at
! the capital OH supreme court bust
ness.
1t will be gratifying news to the
thousand of friends of this estima-
bic gentleman throughout the state
that he has yielded to he earnest
and unanimous request of his COIL
stituents to again offer as candi-
date for reelection to the senate,
and he will not have opposition for
the place.
This is compliment wortllily
bestowed, for Senator Moore is re-
cognized by all as the ablest nlem-
bers of the body, and his long and
useful career as a legislator renders
his continued services of inestima-
BILE value to the state. During the
recent session he was earnestly urg-
ed to become a candidate for lleu-
tenant governor, and his annouce-
ment for this office would have de-
ferred others from entering the
race, but owing to the fact that his
warm personal friend and neigh
Dor, Hon. Charles Scott, candi-
date for governorship, Senator
Moore decided not to enter the
race fearing it might prove hand
leap to Mr.. SCOTS chances.
Senator Moore has held every
position of honor within tn gift of
the senate, is now president pro
tenn of the body, and for eight years
acted as chairman of the judiciary
committee. He is one of the fore
most members of the Mississippi
bar, a gentleman of sterling worth,
high character and incorruptible
integrity, and while general ef-
fort is under way in all parts OF
the state to elect high-calibre leg
islature for the next administra-
ton, it must be conceded that Boil
ivar county has made magneent
start by asking Senator Moore to
again serve in the upper body.
The people Of Bolivar county
will greatly appreciate the above
article from the Jackson Evening
News. Senator Moore's long and
brilliant career in the State Senate
is a matter of great pride to our
citizens, and we feel that the words
of praise uttered by the News IS
richly deserved. He is one of the
best informed men III the state, es-
pecially upon Legislative matters,
and his influence is g.eat in that
body.

IMPORTANT DECISION ON
TIMBER LEASES.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. PA de-
cision of great Importance to own
ers of timber lands and timber syn
dicates was rendered by the ST.
preme Court Monday afternoon in
the case of Bud Hall ct al VS.. East
man, Garner & Company, from. the
chancery court of Simpson county.
The case involves all lnterpre-
talon of the ordinary form of lease
to timber rights entered into be-
tween the owners of small tracts
and the large lumber manufactures
in that section of the state. While
the amount involved in this specl-
fic appeal was not large, the prime
iple at stake are Of far-reachlng i'm
portance, as is generally the case
when important cases are decided,
the supreme Court was divided,
Associate Justice Calhoun reading
dissenting opinion.
The appllee firm procured lease
to the timber on fortyacre tract OF
land in Simpson county owned by
Bud Hill, entered into in 1900, and
providing that the timber should
BE removed within one year after
cutting of same was commenced.
No clause was inserted prescribing
the time at which removal should
be commenced and, after the lum-
Der company had held the lease
nearly six years and made no effort
to remove the timber. Hall enter
ed suit to have the lease set aside
as cloud en- his title.
The Supreme court held, in sub
stance, that when leases of this
character are entered into, the tim
Der removal must take place with
in a reasonable length of time, that
the lessee cannot hold the lease
forever, thus barring the lessor
from the use Of the property; that
the period constituting a reason
able length of time. must be de-
termined by proof submitted in the
lower court.

stitution in 1890, Notwithstanding
some newspapers every year, give
out the warning that unless the
poll-tax is paid the delinquent will
forfeit his right to vote.
The tax paying requirements of
section oath of the state constitu-
ton are indicated by the following
expressions from that section.
Every male illhabitant of this
state, who has paid, on
or before the first day of February
of the year in which he shall offer
to vote all taxes which may have
been. legally required of him and
which he has had all opportunity
of paying according to law for the
two preceding years, and who shall
produce to the officers holding the
election satisfactory evidence that
he has paid said taxes, is declared
to be qualified elector.
Section 4118 of the new state
code, in regard to payment of tax
es, has the following:
A person shall not be entitled
to vote at any election
who has not paid all the taxes
which have been legally reqired of
him and which he has had an op-
portunitv of paying according to
law, for the two preceding years,
OH or before the first day of Feb
uary of the year in which he offers
to vote.
This, 1907, is year when tax
payers will offer to vote. Accord
ing to the foregoing sections, all
taxes for 1905 and 1906 must be paid
on or before February 1, 1907.
Those in default will find themselves
marked out when the August pri-
maries come this year. Note that
the law says all taxes" not poll
taxes
Of course the majority of voters
are aware that payment of all tax
es is required, but it is surprising
how many there are who have ta-
ken up the idea that it is only the
non payment of poll tax before
February 1st, that disqualifes
voter. Meridian Dispatch.

THE LATE JOHN d. M'INN1S
JR,

Mr., John D. McInnis, Jr., who
died in this city Monday and was
buried yesterday, was one OF the
most promising young men.
Though he had been for some time
past living in Indianola and enga-
ged in the practice of law there, his
many Meridian friends had hoped
that he might ultimately come back
to the home of his birth and make
this city the place of his permanent
residence. He was young man
of much force and strength OF
character, we'll educated, a good
lawyer with a promising career
ahead of him, refined, and courtly
gentleman exemplary young
man in every respect. Having been
born and reared in this city, he was
we'll known by almost everybody
here and by reason of his blame
less life, his admirable traits, and
sterling worth displayed through
his boyhood and through the few
short years of his manhood, he
was held by all in the very highest
esteem and enjoyed the loval love
of his intimate associates and
friends. Besides those Of that
household to which he belonged
there are multituds of others who
are touched with genuine sorrow
that he has been thus called away
in the flower and vigor of his man
hood. To his father and mother,
his brothers and sisters. The Dis
patch tenders sincere coincidence.
Meridian Dispatch, January %.
The many Delta friends of this
brilliant young man deeply regret
his death. He was man of excep-
tional talents and had won warm
place in the affections of the people
of his adopted home. 1t is indeed
sad that such bright and promis-
ing career should be clesed SO soon.
To the bereaved family THE DEMO
GRAFT extends sincere sympathy.

TAX PAYING AND FRAN
CHISE.

The first of February is ap-
proaching-the date on or before
which every man mnst have his tax
es paid, or 20 without the right to
vote. There arc just six more days
left, including today. You have
until Friday. February 1st, to make
payment. After that, the record
is against you.
There is mistaken idea prevalent
that the only taxes necessary to De
paid in order to preserve the fran
chise, is the poll tax. This IS an
erroneous impression. The consti-
tuition and laws require all taxes OF
every kind-taxes on real and per-
sonal property, as we'll as polls
to be paid on or before the date
mentioned. So, do not be mlsled
into the idea that payment OF poll
tax will save you, as many people
persist in believing. If you owe two
dollars poll tax, and fifty, seventy
five, or a hundred dollars, or more
or less, real and personal tax, the
giving up of yonr two dollars on OF
before the first of FEBRUARY Will do
YOU no good, as far as voting Is
concerned. 1t must all come.
This is no new law made by the
new state code. 1t has been the
law since the adoption of the con-
