WILL MAKE LEGAL ATTACK
CONSTITUTIONALITY OF ACREAGE
TAX TO BE TESTED.
Owners of Pine Timber Lands Believe
the Measure Is Class Legislation
and Will Appeal to Courts.

Jackson.-Owners Of pine timber lands
in South Mississippi are preparing to
test the cons~titutionality OF the law en-
acted at the recent legislative session
imposing a special tax of twenty cents
per acre on all timber tracts in excess
of one thousand acres.
This is the law concerning which Gov.
Brewer expressed grave doubts when his
approval was given just prior to adj
journment, but decided to give the meas
ure the benefit of the doubt, intimating
that the courts could pass on the question
OF constitutionality.
The attack on the new tax measure
will be based on the general ground that
it is class legislation, aimed directly
at owners OF timber lands, and allowing
owners of heavily wooded tracts in the
delta of equal or greater extent to es-
cape mtaxed. 1T is also asserted by
attorneys who have examined the law
that it is very crudely drawn, and that
little trouble will be encountered in hav-
ing it declared unconstitutional.

CONGRESSMAN HARRISON INTRO
DUCES BILL ON SUBJECT.
SeekS to Prevent Enforcement of the
Order Prohibiting Emblems in Ma

Jackson.-At the recent Masonic
Grand Lodge meeting held in Hatties.
burg a strong resolution was adopted
taking the war department to task for
making and enforcing a rule prohibiting
the inscription of any insignia or en-
blem of a fraternal society on tomb
stones in the national cemeteries, and
requesting the Mississippi delegation in
congress to work to have the order re-
pealed.
Congressman B. p. Harrison OF the
Sixth district was communicated with
in regard to the action taken by the
Masons. and on March 18th introduced a
joint resolution, which, if passed, will
repeal the order of the war department
to which objection has been made.
Mr.. Harrison sent copies of the reso-
luton to officers of the grand lodge, sug-
costing that the grand masters in other
states DO communicated with so they
could take the matter up with their
representatives and senators in an ef-
fort to gain their support for the bill.

The small urchin climbed up the

several anxious glances in the pro-

those counties where it is in full swing

STOCK INDUSTRY HELPED.
Complete New Hog Quarters at Delta
Experiment Station.

Greenville.-The recent sale of a car.
load of thoroughbred hogs to the Natchez
Packing Company by the experiment sta
ton at Stoneville has attracted a great
deal of attention throughout the state
and elected considerable comment from
the metropolitan press, especially in
nearby cities. This car contained fifty
three Durocs and Berkshires and brought
a total of $679.50 net. The total weight
of these hogs was 12,410 pounds and
the average weight, 1856 pounds.
The stations success in the raising Of
hogs in an experimental, yet exceed
ingly profitable way, has not only at
tracted the attention of the press, but
the force of its eaxmple has been felt
very strongly by neighboring planters,
and to a great extent by those living
more remote. One planter at Stoneville
reports having killed 60 hogs this sea-
son. and he has a number more to kill.
All these hogs were blooded stock and
averaged above 200 pounds in weight.
This planter stated that all this meat
would be consumed or his plantation,
which has heretofore bought all its meat.
In order to further encourage the hog
raising industry, the station has Just
completed the erection OF a model sys-
TEN of hog quarters floored in concrete.
This is the best building for taking care
of hogs in the state and it is attracting
II good deal of attention from planters
who contemplate going into hog raising.

SEVERAL GOOD SCHOOL LAWS
EVERY ONE OF THEM RECON-.
MENDED BY SUPT. POWERS.
Prof. Powers Has Done Much for thu
Cause of Rural Education in the
State-What the Measures Are.

Jaekson.-State Superintendent OF
Education j. N. Powers was taking
stock of what the legislature did for the
cause of education in Mississippi, and
what it did not do.
There were three measures that Su-
perintendent Powers wanted especially
and he got them. If there is any
thing in any way pertaining to educa-
ton that is beneficial. DR.. Powers is
right there urging oil the game.
The laws that passed will work won
ders, however, in the school situation in
the state in another two years. There
was house bill 81, providing for the
transportation OF pupils in consolidated
school districts which will enable the
small one-teacher schools to be dis
pensed with several of them CONSOLE
dated and the pupils transported. SIT
p~ervisor OF Rural School W. II. Smith
states that before the end of the year
200 of the vans will be in use carry
ing the rural children to and from bet
ter and larger schools.
Senate bill 20 wa another measure
Superintendent Powers urged through
authorizing boards of supervisors TO
issue bonds for the erection and repair
of school buildings outside separate
school districts and to levy taxes for
fuel and other necessary expense in GER
tain cases. This will also give a larger
measure of local sclf-government to the
various communities in the way of edu
cation.
Also Superintendent Powers boosted
through the law giving more money to
the agricultural high schools. As mat
tiers now are each one gets $500 an
nually from the state. Under the new
if an agricultural high school has
8. boarders in actual attendance it gets
s., 1000, and 40 pupils brings $500.
There are now in operation 10 agri.
high schools and seven in
of construction. Another act
along the same line was the law author
ling counties to issue bonds for the

MAY BORROW THE MONEY,
In This Way Department of Archives
Can Be Carried On.

Jackson.-Nothing has as yet been
done in regard to tie state department
OF archives and history, the a~ppropria.
tion for which failed to be passed. 1t
Is now a tolcrably certain fact that poll
ties had nothing to do with the failure
to make the appropriation.
1t is likely that as soon as Gov. Brewer
has time to get his bearings after the
rush OF work he will address a letter
to the members of the legislature ask
ing that he be authorized to borrow the
sum mentioned in the bill, to be paid
back when the legislature meets two
years from now, and there is no likeli-
hood that there will be any objection
on the part OF the legislators to this pro-
cedure.

Doran was Intoxicated at the time. and

of a farmer, living seven miles south of

husband.
Mrs. Miller was alone at the time of
the accident with the exception of her
small children, who were powerless to
render her any assistance. She was clad
in a light calico dress, which caught
and was in a blaze before she realized
what had happened. Her clothing was
burned completely off. She lived until
the return of her husband, a few hours
later. She leaves five small children.
