scious and near death, Mrs. Ella Snow,
of 213 East High street, this city, was
suddenly revived by a sharp clap of
thunder, with brilliant flash of ac.
companying lightning. Her attending

AND TEND TO THEIR

MERIDIAN, Miss, June 29.-The
term of circuit court which convened
in this city yesterday morning has
been pretermitted until the fourth
Monday n July.
The local bar association petition I'd
Judge j. F. Buckley to pertermit
the term to some future date on ac-
count of the fact that the farmers
were needed at home, that their
crops had been damaged by rain and
were grassy and that this was a
critical period with them.
Judge Buckley said he wished to
comply with the wishes of the bar
and the people and he took a vote of
those present as to whether or not
the term should be pretermitted
1t was therefore ordered that the
term be pretermitted until the
fourth Monday in July
There was some. question as to the
legality of the jurors summoned for
this term serving at the pretermitted
term, and Judge Buckley, in order to
be on the safe side, ordered new
jurors drawn.

TO JACKSON
TO VISIT CAPITAL OF THE STATE
DURING THE FAIR IN NO
vEM6ER.
Will BE There One Day and Night
on Way to Washington From
New Orleans.

JACKSON, Pune 29.-Jackson has
a positive promise from President
Taft that he will be her guest day
and night during the State Fair next
fall, and is already feeling quite
chesty.
Several weeks ago, when Mr.. Taft
first announced that he was going to
circle around in the South on his re.
turn from the Seattle exposition an
effort was made by Governor Noel and
the management of the State Fair u
secure from the President a promise
that he would include this city in his
itinerary, but the best that could be-
gotten out of him at that time was
that he would "come if possible"
But Editor R. H. Henry, of the Clar-
ion-Ledger, has been in Washington a
few days, and telegraphs his paper
that he has secured a positive state.
ment from the President of the United
States that he will arrive in Jackson
on the 18th of November and remain
over till the 14th. This is the best
piece of news that Jackson has had in
years, and has tickled the State Fair
management half to death. 1t means
as matter of course, that the Fair
will experience a record-breaking day
Mr.. Taft will be the guest of the state
and will no doubt occupy the best room
at the Governors mansion and which
by the way, has just been repaired
and renovated and refurnished from
cellar TO dome, and is now one of the
freshest looking homes in the city OF
Jackson.
The washington special to the Clar.
ion-Ledger says: "The President goes
first to the Alaska -Yukon-Pacifi FIX.
position at Seattle. From there he will
journey through California and Texas
and then to the deep water convention
at New Orleans, which convenes No
vember II, IL and 13.
From New Orleans he will come to
Jackson, and stay day and night.
"This will be during the State Fair
when thousands of visitors will be in
Jackson, and warm welcome is GER
tain to be accorded the chief executive
Leaving Jackson the president will
go to points in Alabama, Georgia and
the Carolinas."
Mississippians, without regard to
politics, will show the President what
real old-fashioned Southern hospital
ity really means. He will be given op.
to test the superior flavor of
the Mississippi 'simmon-raised pos
sum and the merits of the yellow yam
which all well-cooked 'possums are al.
ways flanked about.

STORY De CRUELTY

was so boisterous and Objectionable
that they were ordered from the prem
ises at the muzzle of a shot gun, and
informed that in the event the dis
turbance was continued more forci-
Bile argument would be used.
Mr.. Parr, in company with the wo-
man, came to police headquarters this
morning and informed the officers of
the occurrence. Woods was prompt
ly arrested and charge lodged
against him, but on account Of the alb
sence of some material witnesses the
case was continued until tomorrow.
Upon being questioned by Officer
Duckworth this morning, Mrs. Woods
was inclined to contradict the state
ment made by Mr. Parr, renying that
she had accused her husband OF rruel-
ty. There were other witnesses, how
ever, who heard the pitiful story, and
they have been summoned to appear
in court and give their testimony to-
morrow.
The man Woods was seen this morn
ing and denies the charge, saying that
he had been guilty of no misconduct,
and that he had no knowledge of a
disturbance of any kind.
Woods and his wife are young peo-
pie and reside hear Quiller Chapel,
about three miles northwest of Hat
tiesburg.
The woman declined to give any rea-
son for her husbands alleged brutal
conduct, but this will doubtless be
brought out in the testimony tomorrow
when the case Is heard.

LANDS ADVERTISED
FOR SALE FOR TAXES
Railway Claims That the Taxes Were
Paid-city's Contention Is That All
the Land Was Not Used for Rail-
road Purposes.

An injunction restraining the city
of Hattiesburg from selling certain
lands belonging to the Mississippi
Central railroad and which were ad-
vertised to be sold on Monday next
for taxes for the year 1908, issued
from the office of Chancery Clerk Bat
son this afternoon.
This case involves certain property
in the city of Hattiesburg which wns
assessed by the railroad commission
taxes having been paid by the cor
poration according to the commissions S
assessment.
The property in controversy was
assessed separately by the city tx
assessor, his contention being tnal 10
asmuch as the land was nos used
for railroad purposes, it WAS noe with.
il the province of the railroad eommis-
sion to assess it, and that the city
of Hattiesburg had right to collect
taxes on same.
The railroad company contends on
the other hand that, inasmuch, as the
property was assessed by the commits
sion. and taxes having been paid ac-
cording to their assessment, they
were not liable to the city for addi-
tional taxation. Therefore an in,
junction was prayed for restraining
the tax collector from making thee
sale.
An order for the issuance of the in
junction was obtained of Chancellor
Wood by Mr.. H. S. Buscher, the com.
pany's attorney, >and sufficient bond
having been filed in the office of the
chancery clerk, the injunction was
issued accordingly.
This, of course, means that the city
cannot sell the lands as advertised.
the injunction holding good till the
December term of chancery, when the
merits of the case will be gone into.
Some of the lands in controversy
are those upon which are located the
offices of the company, the
shops and yards. and some vacant
lots within the corporate limits of the
