origins Of Easter.

$1,000 actnal date of the Crucidxion
.1oinad by scholars to have been In
+.cember, about the time that Is
called Christmas. Consequently,
y 80 we're chronologically accurate,
NJ would observe the anniversary OF
~ resurrection on or about the 25th
nacamber. The reason given for
~. ~ that the mock ceremonies 10
-hich the Roman soldiers INDUCED
..hon they made sport Of the Christ
,rara altogether typical OF the kind
franks practised in the Roman
Nv - during the Saturnalia. Further
60 n Il said the Crucitlxlon could
~ ~ really have taken place during
III ~ passover because the Jews were
snrhidden at that particular festival
~ ~. contamiate themselves by suffering
IL proximity of Gentiles. Neither
could they have entered TIE presence
og plate at that time.
A. everybody knows, Easter now -
celebrated simultaneously with the
Iawish Passover; in other words, on
~ firsr Sunday after the full moon fol
inwing the spring equinox, which is
tba DIST of March. This rule was laid
dawn bv the Council of Nicaea in 325
r. Thus Easter Sunday can not
fau before the 22nd Of March nor lat
ar than the 25th of April. 1t came to
oo;nside with the Passover OF the He
hrews because the earliest Christians
Tera OF Judaio origin, and conse-
TnentIy had been brought up to keep
III aid Jewish festival. From the
lavish Christians the custom spread
70 the HeIlenists. 1t was not until
the second century A. ID. that 1t became
an official festival Of the Church.
II is evidently that this feast was
common to nearly all races long be
fare the Christian era, and it, agri-
colous origin is also obvious. Long
before the advent OF the new faith,
barbaric tribes celebrated at this time
of the year the coming spring.
With some it took the form OF lunar
vorship-the date in all cases j. de
pendent on the moon-among the An
gIo-SaXons it was the feast Of Eostre,
goddess of Spring, whom the German
ic peoples called Ostara. Thus it was
eminently appropriate that the festi-
val of the Resurrection Of the Saviour
should coincide with the celebrating
Of the resurrection of the Earth's
10 was from the Germanic
races that it acquired its present
joyful character. In the East it was
originally associated more with the
Passion than the Resurrection Its
name in Latin countries (Paques in
France, Pasqua in Italy, derives from
a Greek verb meaning TO suffer"

been bought for $1,000 per mile, be
cause it is on a paying basis It's

quision of the property by the State,

Maryland counties.
The par value of the stock is SIS

share, but was reduced because of
the reduction in receipts following
the construction or the Western
Maryland Railroad, which paralleled
it for most of it's distance.

WOULD ENFORCE LIQUOR LAW
CKANcERY AND CRIMINAL COURTS
HAVE CONCURRENT POWER.
liquor Act of 1910 Providing for At
tachment for Judgment Upheld by
Supreme Court.

J~ackson.-0ne of the acts of the seq
sion of the legislature Of Mississippi
held in 1910, as to which there was some
doubt concerning its legality and constitu-
@iOnality, has successfully run the gaunt-
let of the supreme court, and being up
held it is expected to WELD considerable
weight in enforcing the law against
abe liquor traffic. The act in question,
which is chapter 1874, laws of 1910, has
for its intent making it unlawful to sell
Or give away vinous or spurious liquors,
and making such persons liable to pay a
tax, also giving the chancery court juris-
diction concurrent with courts Of law,
TO entertain suits and TO collect the tax
provided for such unlawful dispensing Of
liquors in his or their places OF business.
1t provides that any person who may sell
or give away liquor, at his place of bus
mess, or elsewhere, shall be subject to
pay a tax to the state, county, town or
village, each both state and municipal
ityD, $500, which may be recovered
through due court process, at the in
stance of any taxpayer, and in the name
of the state revenue agent, or any sheriff
or tax collector; and furthermore, such
suit may be commenced by attachment,
without bond.
Section 2 of the act gives the chancery
court concurrent jurisdiction for the en-
forcement of the provisions of the first
section, and the chancery court is given
plenary power and authority for sup
pressing such nuisance as may be estab'
.lished under the act.
The first case to reach the supreme
court governed by the new act was ap-
pealed from the chancery court of War
rem county, where Marion Marshall, con-
Quoting a so-called soft drink" place,
had all the trimmings and paraphernalia
common to regular licensed saloons in
the old days, before the coming in of
the present administration, and the
passage of the statewide prohibition
laws. The suit against Marshall was
filed at the instance of the attorney
genearl, and was a civil action, pure and
simple. Suit was entered for the stat
utory tax of $500 each for state and city,
and the attachment applied for with a
view to enforcing the judgment.
In an opinion handed down Chief JUS
tice Mayes covered the ground involved
very thoroughly, holding, in general,
that the act is not conflicting; that the
chancery court has, and always has had,
jurisdiction through injunction process,
to abate such a nuisance, and even fur
ther, that it is not denied to a chancery
court to enforce even statutory penal
ties in proper cases.
This is a valuable decision, and will
materially help the officers whose duty
It is to enforce the law in the discharge
OF a very important duty, while strength.
ening the arm Of the criminal courts by
Just that much.

FARMERS UNION IS DEFINED
Covenant Among Farmers for Mutual
Beneflt-Care Should Be Used in
Selecting Delegates.

The Farmers union is a covenant
among farmers for their mutual bene-
fit. Any harm In that? Wise men have
said that when farmers are prosperous
that all other legitimate occupations re-
ceive their share of the farmers up
lift; then why is 1t that any right
thinking man should not be willing to
lend a helping hand to the Farmers
union?
If your union has a last years bird
nest appearance, better kick it off the
limb, and round up a new one, and
be sure that the material will not take
the dry rot, and then mind the files
and vermin Of the new one. Our coun-
ty unions will soon elect delegates
to the state union. Round up
your best men as delegates. Let your
delegates be Of that kind Of patriotic,
liberty-loving farmers who never allow
their prejudices or personal interest to
lead them away from their duty-men
Of pluck and grit that know the law
and good for the Farmers union, and
have the backbone to stand for the
good Of the union even against friend
or foe alike.-Farmers' Union Sun

PROPOSE NEW RAILWAYS.
Frisco Makes Preliminary Surveys Near
New Orleans.

Gulfport.-The Frisco railroad has
just completed two preliminary surveys
of a proposed railway line from Beau
mont, Miss, to points on the Louisville
and Nashville railroad near New Or
leans. The first survey was from Beau
mont to Pass Christian, Miss, and the
second was from Beaumont to Lake
Shore, Miss.
The next step will be to make a per-
manent survey, which will be done i'm
mediately. The new road will connect
the New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago
railroad, which was recently purchased
by the Frisco, with the southern ter
minus of the Frisco at New Orleans.
The Frisco will use the tracks of the
Louisville and Nashville from the point
where the new line will connect into New
Orleans.
The Louisville and Nashville will be
double tracked in order to handle the
increased traffic.

: knowledge and Application.

President Van Hise of the University
Of Wisconsin said in a recent address:
I'VE know enough so that If the knowl-
edge were applied the agricultural
product Of the nation could easily be
doubled. We know enough about sci
entific medicine so that If this knowl-
edge were applied, infectious diseases
would be practically eliminated within
a generation. We know enough about
the breeding Of animals, so that II the
knowledge we're applied to man the
feeble minded would disappear in a
generation, and the insane and GRIM
inal class be reduced to a small frac.
ton Of their present numbers. Even
in politics we have sufficient knowl.
edge so that If 1t were applied there
would be vast improvement In the gov

Subject.

Jacksonville state board of educa-
Cion has issued an address to county
superintendent, boards of trustees and
school teachers designating Friday, Jan
uary 10, as Arbor day in Mississippi,
and urging its general observance.
Prof. ]. N. Powers, state superin-
tendent, will shortly prepare a provi-
sional program for the occasion, con-

set forth the most approved plans of
identifying school grounds, and con-
serving the forests of the state, based

the best arborculturists in the United
STATES.
