MAY WITHDRAW SUPPORT,
Number Of Agricultural High Schools in
Bad With Board.

Jackson.-It is learned from authentic
sources that a number of the agricul-
tural high schools of the state are In
grave danger of having the 81 10000 an.
nual appropriation from the state treas
ury cut off unless they Immediately get
busy and remedy some of the defects
in their institutions which the State
Board of Education say they will not
stand for further.
There are now twenty-four Of these
agricultural high schools in as many
counties of the state. Some of them
are housed in inadequate buildings, un-
provided with dormitories, and the main
trouble seems to have been that they
have not employed competent agri-
cultural instructor" as the law requires.

Jackson.-A rather fine and much mis-
understood point in regard to poll tax
and when it is due to be paid in order
to qualify, by men who are just turning
the threshold of full citizenship by at
tainment of their majority, is cleared
up by the following opinion sent out by
Assistant Attorney General Mcdowell:
"Mr. J. H. Brickel, Election Commits
sioner, Columbus, Miss.
Dear Sir-I have your inquiry ~ fol.
lows:
:" is person who has arrived at the
age of twenty-one (21) years at any
time since the first day of February,
1910, and before the first day of Feb
ruary, 1911, liable for q poll tax for
the year of 1910? And will he have to
pay poll tax for the said year i910i
Thanking you in advance for the
opinion, l beg to remain
"Reply-Poll tax, like any other tax,
is assessable as of February 1. There
fore, if one became twenty-one years Of
age after February 1, 1910, he 10 not
liable for poll tax for that year, and
consequently is not delinquent il he fails
to pay poll tax for 1910 on or before
February l, 1911,
"If a party becomes twenty-one years
of age before February 1, 1910, he would
have owed poll tax for that year whether
assessed or not, but he does not owe
such tax if he arrives at his majority
after February 1.
likewise, if one becomes sixty years
of age before February 1, 1910, he is not
liable for poll tax for that year and
failure to pay same does not make him
delinquent"

SYNDICATE BUYS MISSISSIPPI LAND
Illinois Capitalists Give $22, 900 for 5000
Acres

Jackson.-A syndicate of Illinois CAPT
talists, represented by George H. Faxon,
secretary to Gov. Deneen, of Illinois, has
secured an option to purchase the Sykes
property, comprising 5o55 acres of fer
tile land in this State, for approximately
$22, ,547.50, or about $45 an acre.
Speaking of the advantages of Missis-
sippi as an agricultural center Mr.. Faxon
declared that it required but little
more of the progressive spirit on the part
of the owners of property to make the
state renowned. He said that cam
paign of publicity, such as has been
adopted by Louisiana, would bring Mis-
sissippi to the attention of millions who
know nothing of the advantages of the
State aside from what they earned from
history and geography.
