IMMIGRATION FOR THE SOUTH
Happy Solution of the Problem by
Leroy Percy of Mississippi.

Montgomery, Ala. Hon. Leroy Per-
cy of Greenville, Miss, leading law
yer of that State, accomplished some
thing today that practically unfetters
the planters Of the South in the matter
of procuring Nforeign laborers. MIR.
Percy's achievement was the drawing
up of form of an agreement, subse-
quently accepted by Commissioner of
immigration Sargent of the department
of commerce and labor, by which plant
ers can bring heln to this country with
out conflicting Wa the Federal labor
contract law. S,
Heretofore tie Impairment of COM
merce and labor IA made no distinc-
tion between wage Srkers brought to
the United States d agriculturists
coming over from foriA AIn countries, the
departments rulingsZ dying alike to
both classes. Undel ] terms of the
agreement proposed ~. Percy and
approved by the depy tent of com
merce and labor, plal ] IS can bring
agricuturists to the United States by
entering into an agreement giving the
immigrant opportunity, through an op-
tion, to become IL share partner with
his employer
The fact that the agriculturst is
given this option differentiates him
from the wage-worker who is brought
over by factory operators, and which
practice the labor contract law was de-
signed TO defeat. Mr.. Percy submitted
his form of agreement to Commissioner
of immigration Sargent, who in turn
submitted it to the solicitor for the de.
partment OF commerce and labor. Both
officials pronounced it eminently worthy
and acceptable from every standpoint.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS
Privilege Taxes.

All the privilege taxes of Mississippi,
With the exception of those paid by TN
railroads, saloons and shows, will be
due during the month Of May. The law
provides that where they are not pro
cured during that month the tax col
leetor shall charge double the amount
OF the original tax and leaves him with
out any discretion as to collection.
State Auditor T. NJ. Henry, who fur
nishes the Licenses to the tax collectors
of the various counties, says their sup
ply will be in their hands by the first
of May, the order for the same having
been placed with the public printers
several weeks since. All parties liable
for privilege tax had better see that
the same is paid during the month OF
May and save themselves the excessive
penalty. The collections from privi-
lege taxes by the tax collectors OF the
seventy-six counties for May, 1905,
amounted to s290,14.45. The collec-
tions for the coming May will exceed
these figures, so Auditor Henry thinks.
Counsel and Client Locked Up.
A rather unusual feature attended
the sitting of the circuit court at jack
son, which was the conviction and SEN
fencing of prisoner who was being
tried for highway robbery and assault
and the imposition of fine of 500 on
the lawyer who was defending him.
George Lewis was the prisoner and
Elan Johnson, a negro lawyer, was re-
tanned to defend him. During the
progress OF the trial the attorney be-
came rather oyerbearing in his be.
-havior toward the court, having pre-.
viously, it is alleged, manipulated i'm
portant witnesses as to have them out
OF the way when wanted. Johnson went
rather further than the ethics of the
bar and the procedure of the court per-
mits, and Judge Bullard ordered fine
of 800 entered against him. The at
torney represented that he did not
have that amount Of money with him,
but Judge Bullard intimated that was
not the fault of the court and turned
him over to the sheriff, and SO it came
about that both counsel and client were
conducted together to the lookup.

FOOT BALL. HUDSON
RIVER FALLS
River Falls 22, Hudson o.

Last Saturday on the high school
campus River Falls gave it's great
est rival thorough beating at foot
ball. Hudson came down in spe-
cial train with a brass band, one
hundred and fifty loyal souls, ex-
pecting hard game, but hoping to
turn the trick as they turned it be-
fore and go home the winner. But
they met a tartar this time. The
local team outweighed them some
20 pounds to the man, and at the
old style game would undoubtedly
have run up score on them that
would have been limited only by the
endurance of the winning team, as
at the old style line bucking the
greater weight of River Falls would
have soon worn Hudson out. AS it
was, River Falls played the new
game, the open running game, in
which weight does not cut so great
figure, and in which the small
man, if he has the nerve and train
ing, is able TO make very credita-
BILE showing against man of much
greater weight. And Hudson had
both the nerve and the training.
Their defensive work was great.
Although hopelessly outclassed
from the start, they never quit, but
made their heavier rivals work for
every foot they got. On the offense
they were helpless. Their old style
plays made no impression on the
River Falls line, and they were not
sufficiently expert at the new play
to make any consistent gains at it.
On the other hand. River Falls had
the new game we'll in hand, played
it consistently, and kept Hudson
guessing all the time.
The game was a splendid exhibit
ton of the new game, was clean and
fast and free from any wrangling or
disputes, and from the spectators
standpoint was the best game ever
played here, the ball being in sight
all the time. Two touchdowns and
a goal in the first half, and the
same in the second told the story.
Hudson never had chance to score.
The result of the game makes the
teams even on games won, and puts
River Falls two points to the good
in total number of points made.
