should also provide for the State and
counties receiving bids from the
banks of the State for the deposit
OF the funds. This policy, in my
opinion, would produce much more
interest on State funds, and will re-

coae Of from fifty to seventy-fiye
thousand dollars annually from a
source now producing no revenue.
State Right Of Appeal.
Upon constitutional questions
think the State should have the right

tile points involved may be passed
UPON by the Supreme Court and not
finally settled by the lower courts,
as under our present system. A law
so pro, iding should be enacted.
Care OF Juvenile Offenders.
favor such changes in our laws
applicable to juvenile offenders as
may be necessary for the proper
lie and maintenance and training
OF this class of offenders. We should
r.ake a real Reform School of our
present institution known as the
State Reform School.
Tax Equalization.
Possibly no subject is more diff
calf OF solution than the tax prob
lem We should have the tax bur-
den bear equally upon all. There
should be absolutely no favoritism
extended. either by the tax laws or
b. the assessing officers A long step
towards equalizing of taxes, in my
opinion, could be accomplished by
changing our system so as to pro-
v.de for the discontinuance of the
levy Of an ad valorem State tax, and
have the State government support
ct exclusively by the license and
franchise taxes This would remove
tie ne' essity OF State uniformity in
assessments, leaving uniformity nee

DRUNKENNESS
ARE HAMPERED IN ENFoRc-
ING LIQUOR LAWS.

The chief of police says, with refer
ence to the large number of DRINKS
noted between last Saturday night and
Monday morning, that the department
is having much trouble in suppressing
the liquor business because of a re-
cent decision of the Supreme court,
which throws the burden of proof on
the state in cases where liquor is
found in larger quantities than a sin
gle package. In his effort to forestall
the usual Sunday traffic several places
under suspicion were raided with the
result that liquor was found at only
one place and as the quantity there
was four and half quarts the cit,
officials were not permitted to con
fiscate it because of an order from
Justice Fairley's Court ordering it's re
lease. The claimant in this case filed
with Justice Farley a denial of the
charge that the liquor was intended
for sale, which denial the city was un-
able to refute, hence the order to re.
lease it.
This liquor was brought to Hatties
burg by fireman on the M. c. R. R
and the officers are of the opinion
that most of the wet goods handled
here is now being struggled in by fire
men and train porters.

next year by William and Joseph and
also another brother Jesse, who had
just arrived in the country. The
brothers pooled their profits and open
ed a clothing store in Greensboro, Ala,
where they remained several years.
When the civil war threatened, the
brothers returned to New York and
started a dry goods firm. In 1862 the
dry goods firm was converted into the
present banking house of j. and w.
Seligman and Company, and through
the activities and talents of the eight
brothers, the banking house subse-
quently reached out into half dozen
of the principal cities of the world.
The original dry goods firm had a
California branch which had been in
charge of the younger brothers, Jesse,
Abraham, Leopold and Henry When
the elder brothers started the New
York banking house in 1862, the Cali
fornia branch was turned into the
Anglo-American Bank, Limited, of San
Francisco.
The Seligman banking firms have
been the fiscal and naval agents of the
United States continuously since 1868.
James Seligman became a member
of the New York Stock Exchange in

The Main Question.

~. Pierpont Morgan said a clergy
man, hated the dissension that some
times springs up between high church
and low. Apropos of all such reli-
gious dissension, he used to tell a
story about a wise old colored man,
Calhoun Clay.
"'Cal,' a gentleman once inquired,
what denomination do you belong to?
l think l see you sometimes making
for the chapel, but don't you think
you'd do better to come to u.s.?
Bress yo' heart, sonny chuckled
old Calhoun Clay, hits dis-a-way.

was informed by the United States
pension office that the last soldier Of
the Civil war will die in 1856. That
is the estimate made by those who
make a study of vital statistics. If
the last veteran survives until that
date he will have lived 90 years aft

Kronk, who died a couple Of years

soldier of the War of 1912, and he
lived considerably more than 90 years
after peace had been signed. Bake
