 Good Attractions DATE SET FOR HEARING Cumberland Telephone Go. Will Make Defense-More Mystery Added to Lex Brame's Disappearance
 By Picture Found.

Jackson Miss, September 27.-(Special0 Manager Mckay of the Mississippi expo sitlon company which begins a ten days fair here on the 9th of November, Is ne- gotiatlng with Professor Baldwin of air. ship fame, to come down and form one of the many attractions of that enter |, prise Professor Baldwin wants a goodly sum for his services, but Manager Me Kay is very decidedly of the opinion that 1t would be one of the best invest ments he could make as it would prove drawing card for all the people for many miles roundabout and would swell the exposition gate receipts as few other attractions, could. Professor Baldwin is the party who most successfully navi- gated the air at the St. Louis fair, fly ing all around over the country to the delight and the admiration of many thou sands. Not one person in ten thousand in Mississippi ever saw an airshlp, and there are a good many thousands who would be glad of the opportunity The directors of the exposition have not as yet authorized Manager Mckay to make contract for the arship, but 1t is be- lieved they will

Brame was asked today f he wore d picture in his watch and stated that he had for several years worn a picture of herself, and fner 111. tie daughter. The finding of the picture so near where the watch was found a few days since has doubly convinced the family here that MT.

After a very careful consideration

After a very careful consideration of the question 1 am of the opinion that the provision contained in section 176, directing the state superintendent of edu- cation to pay over to the city superinten- dent of schools of each incorporated city or town the proportionate share of the public school revenue is not a subject expressed in, covered or suggested by the title of the act or necessary proper to the full rounding of an enactment upon the subject which Is expressed In the title and is therfore, obnoxious to the require ment of section 45 of the constitution that each law shall contain but one subject which shall be clearly expressed in its title''

Subject Matter,

The subject matter of this section d76) would never be suggested to the legiss- tive mind from reading or hearing read the caption of this bill; nor is it reason able to say that the general public was fairly apprised, from the title of the act under the principles above quoted, that d provision was contained therein which directly affected and changed the duty heretofore imposed by law upon the state superintendent of education, as well as the duties and emoluments of county sn perintendents of education in sixty-seven counties
 Tt follows, therefore, that section 1i6 of the act under consideration falls to the ground and there is no authority for you to pay 10 the superintendent of pub He schools of New Decatur the school funds for that city.
 Tn order that no misunderstanding may result, l beg to say that the remaining portions of the municipal code are unaf- fected by this ruling, for it is well set tied that where an act is complete with ing itself sensible, capable of being ex- ecuted and wholly independent of that which Is rejected. the enactment will be upheld and enforced to that which is valid "

FARMERS USE CHECKS.
Interesting Showing at a Recent
Public Sale.

The modern farmer is learning all
the modern conveniences for doing
business. He not only keeps bank
account but he uses it in his affairs.
This is particularly true in this part
Of the state where the banks have in
creased 50 rapidly In the past fe"
years. In this county is q bank for
less than 800 families and rhe bank
deposits average $500 family. At 8
stock sale last week at R. E. Broad
fOot's near Talmags the use made Of
the banks BY farmers was strikingly
illustrated. The stock sold for sS,-
SSl and it was announced that ten
months would be given at 8 per cent
interest II desired. Out Of the total
sales only S1.l1O was in notes, the
remainder being cash. The interest
ing fact was that Sel.Os was paid in
currency or coin while the remainder,
q, ISL, mostly in small amounts, was
paid with checks on various banks Of
the county.
Mr.. BrosdIoot Is well pleased with
bis sale and the high prices obtained
show that he has excellent stock. He
has plenty left and sold only the sur
plus.

AN IMPORTANT TEST CASE.
Attorney General of Minnesota Al
judged In Contempt by Federal
Judge for Enforcing State Law.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct 22-Attorney
General Young of Minnesota was ad-
judged In contempt of court by Judge
Lochren In the United States district
court Monday and fined 800, which
he refused to pay. An appeal to the
United States supreme court will be
taken In the form Of an application for
. writ Of habeas corpus; as Mr..
Young has been remanded to the GUS
tody of the United States marshal,
and the question of whether the
United States court has the right to
enjoin state from enforcing its laws
will thus be finally disposed Of. The
question involved Is whether an officer
or servant of . sovereign state can be
sued. 1t came up in the attempt to
enforce the commodity freight rate
law enacted by the last legislature.
Judge Lochren enjoined Attorney
General Young from enforcing the law
and included the state railroad and
warehouse commission and any ship
per. Thereupon Attorney General
Young brought mandamus proceedings
in the county court to compel the
railroads to revise their rates accord
ing to the state law.
