was there real athletic depart
ment at the |. |. and c.; but
after teachers and coaches were
furnished, a great interest grew

everywhere that basket ball is

NON PRESIDENT HUNTERS
BARRED IN MANY COUNTIES

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 5.-An
interesting legal point in con-
nection with the enforcement of
the game laws has developed in
several Mississippi counties, and
may eventually find its way into
the courts for adjudication.
Boards of supervisors in several
counties have recently enacted
orders allowing only resident
citizens or bona fide land owners
to hunt within the borders of
their respective counties, and it
is vigorously contended that an
ordinance of this character is IL
legal; that the Mississippi code
specifically says that 'all game
is the property Of the state, " and
boards of supervisors with the
power to impose restrictions adj
ditional to these fixed in the
game law chapter; that while
land owners or lessees can post
their lands and prohibit hunting
of any kind thereon, board of
supervisors has no legal authori-
ty whatever to outlaw sports
men who do not happen to live
in the county to become their
guests while on hunting trips,
but this, Of course, is a private
matter between the sportsman
and the man on whose land he
hunts. If the order barring nom
resident hunters is illegal, it is
of course follows chat this quail
flying clause is Of no effect.

MINUTES OF
CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MONTHLY REPORT HANDED
OUT BY THE CITY COUNCIL.

At a regular meeting of the
Council this date, present, E. S.
Donnell, Mayor and Councilm n
Weaver. Lincoln. Walker, Nc
Clanahan, Moore and Steen.
The Minutes of the last meet
ing were read and approved as
corrected.
The Mayor called the Councils
attention to the fact, that he had
only recently examined the cat
alogue of the I. l. and C. for the
years 1907 and 1908, and that he
found in the list of approved
high schools that the Columbus
High Scnool was not mentioned,
which indicated to him that a
graduate from the Columbus
High School could not enter, said
College, except upon a satistac-
tory examination, while those
from affiliated schools could enter
upon certificates of the princi-
pals or superintendent. He ex-
pressed himself as very much
surprised at this s'ate OF affairs
and thought it a reflection upon
Columbus, as well as those at the
head of said schools. He also
stated that he had notified Prof.
Cook of his intention to call the
attention of the Council to the
matter. and invited Prof. Cook
to be present and explain the
situation if he so desired. Prof.
Cook being present made the
f flowing explanation: After as
sdring the Council that it always
gave him pleasure to appear be-
fore them, Prof. Cook stated in
substance that it was a fact,
that up to the past session, that
Franklin Academy did not affili-
ate with the |. / and c., that he
had stated this to the council
some 18 months ago, and asked
that he be allowed, or rather
empowered to- enga e the SER
vices of teachers competent to
bring the school up to the stand
ard he had always desired, tnat
since he has been allowed teach
ers competent to so instruct the
scholars, he was pleased to state
that graduates of the High
School of Columbus enjoyed the
affiliation privilege at the l. |. &
c., and in substantiation of the
above statement Prof Cook
handed the secretary letters
from Prof. Whitfield, of the /.
I. and c., Prof. Hardy of the A.
and NJ. college as well as other
letters from heads of different
colleges where Columbus high
school graduates were now en-
rolled, and further stated that
the next catalogue issued at the
|. |. and C.. would show that the
Columbus high school enjoyed
the affiliation privilege. Prof.
Cook thanked the Council for
the opportunity they had given
him to place the Columbus high
school right in this matter.
Mr.. C. F. Sherrod and Mr.. H.
E. Reynolds were before the
council in the interest of the Alb
erdeen & Tombigbee Valley

that he was glad to come before

POLITICAL PIPE DREAM.
NO LIKELIHOOD THAT SENATOR McLAU-
Rim WILL QUIT.

Very little credence is placed
in the report that United States
Senator A. J. McLaurin would
doff his toga for the judicial
ermine, in case Governor Noel
should tender him the supreme
judgeship for the middle district
when the place becomes vacant
on May 10th, next.
This report gained currency
one day last week when Senator
McLaurin came over from Bran
don and was closeted for more
than an hour in private confer
ence with Governor Noel. While
there are excellent reasons to
believe that future political con-
tests furnished one of the themes
at that conference, it requires a
wild flight of the imagination to
see Senator McLaurin swapping
his toga for the ermine, and,
while he has personally issued
no denial, his friends here, men
who have been closely allied
with him for years, attach no
seriousness to the report, and
declare that it does not contain
enough truth to make it decent
nonsense.
If such swap could be brought
about, however, it would be fol-
lowed by some highly interest
ing developments. for there
would be mad scramble for the
senatorial vacancy. During the
gubernatorial campaign of 1907
Governor Noel stated, while en-
gagged in his second primary cam
vass, that in event of Senator
Moneys death or resignation he
would appoint Congressman
John Sharp Williams to the va
cancy, and should a vacancy oc-
cur IN Senator McLaurin's berth
he would tender it to Governor
Vardaman, There is very little
likelihood now, however, in view
of the personal feelings between
Governor Noel and his immedi-
ate predecessor that the chief
ex ecutive could remember this
promise, for the governor and
ex-governor hardly speak as
they pass by. Therefore such a
contingency as Senator McLau-
rims retirement would open the
field for new aspirants, and
there are dozens of men in the
state who would be more than
willing to fill the unexpired
term. 1t is widely improbable,
however, so long as Senator Nc
Laurin maintains his present
splendid health and bodily vigor
that they will have a chance to
do so. jackson News.
When asked in regard to the
report Senator McLaurin made
the following authorized state
ment:
AS a supreme iudgeship has
not been rendered to me, and as
there is no reason TO suppose
it will be rendered, it is hardly
necessary for me to speak of its
acceptance.
However. / will say that /
would not resign the senatorship
to accept any other Office than
the senatorship. Having been
entrusted with this Office by the
people, | expect to continue my
endeavors to faithfully discharg
its duties in the interests of the
state of Mississippi"
