1t is necessary for the general public

important movement. The conserva

ATTY. GENERAL
ON INCOME TAX.
Says Incomes for this Year
to Be Taxed Next.

Those with large incomes in Grenada
county need not trembe and quake auy
longer about the state of Mississippi
coming in and claiming a part of them
for this year. From a recent opinion
from thu office of the state attorney
general to the county tax assessor, L.
B. Yeager, it will be seen that that Of
fetal holds that the law does not cover
incomes up ty now and since the pass
age of the law. Incomes will therefore
not be assessed until 1914. Below is
the letter of Assistant Attorney Gener-
al Frank Johnston of date Feb. I;
"Mr. L. B. Yeager, Grenada. Miss:
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 5th
inst. came duly to hand. The attorney
general has given the opinion to the
auditor of public accounts that the in
come tax law is an annual tan, and
that as the law was passed on March
Is, 1912. it could not levy an annual tax
for that year Therefore, the first
years income that could be taxed was
for the year 1913. and that could be as
sessed only after the end of that year.
You will see, therefore, that no assess
ment of the income tax can be made
under the law at this time.
Very truly yours,
Frank Johnston,
Assistant Attorney General.

The Houston Mob.
(From the Brookhaven Leader.

Away back in the sos the Leader
brought down anathemas upon its head
because of it's stand against "mob
law" Together with the Vicksburg
Post aud struggling contingency of
upholders of the law as it related to
Judge Lynch in our state, it exclaimed
in that far-gone time, ut is simply
horrible!"
Where we stood then we stand now,
and with bowed head, in view of the
discouraging fact that after the passing
of a generation the hideous monster
looms up visibly again in our midst.
The lynching of the innocent negro at
Houston and later of the guilty one,
tells the tale in another column and fur
nishes cause for this expression from
the Leader.
| Altho we stand where we stood thirty
wears ago, it is not ip the midst of the
antagonism that was met at that time.
Press and people have together out
lawed the saloon, in which so many OF
the reptiles eggs were hatched, before
prohibitory laws We're secured; and the
majesty of the law and of the COM
monweath is regarded with clearer
brain and truer patriotism.
No matter what the cause, we car
not applaud or excuse the act of the
mob which lynches helpless human
being already in the clutches of the
law.
The affair at Houston was one of th'
most deplorable that ever occurred II
Mississippi. The crime that led up tt
it. altho it causes the brain to reel ant
the heart to stand still in contempla
ton of it, was not-nor can any crlm
be-a justification for mobocracy-fo
crime added to crime to blot the fal
name of Mississippi in these latte
| days.
The Houston mob needed Judg
| Chrisman, a j. B. Gambrell, B. 1
| Hobbs, to cool the ardor of their yer
geance. That is all. For the lack of
cool head, they have transgressed tn
law, have placed themselves where tn
culprit stood when he overcame n
helpless victim and have set at naugf
the law that was made to protect thel
and to punish the guilty.
II 1t is not a question as to whetht
such crimes as the one referred Il
| should be punished by death-it is
| question as to whether the perpetratol
| are to be punished in accordance vii
the forms prescribed by the laws
the state and in accordance with II
rights guaranteed by the national CO.
1 stitution, or whether they shall be pul
| ished by an unwritten law at the hant
of an exasperated and unreasonlr
mob. We beg our readers to reflect {

To the Taxpayers
of Grenada County

desire to say to the taxr ayers of
Grenada county that l aw now on my
ennuaT rounds assessing the taxes of
the county. want to ask the people
to note the fact that in some respects
the assessment of lands will be unlike
anything we have had before. For ex-
ample: The law requires all cultivable
land assessed, the number of acres
of wild and uncutivated land, exclud-
ing timber estimated number of feet of
timber thereon and the value of the
timber. hope the taxpayers will as
certain how their lands are situated rel
ative to the above requirements and
hence be prepared to act intelligentiy
when | call on them. would appreci-
ate it very much if those who have oc-
casion to come to Grenada will give me
an opportunity to assess them while
here.
In cities and villages the lots with
improvements are assessed separately
from those having improvements.

thy neighbor because he harbors new

Fourth-Thou shalt not listen to false
witnesses who, because they have

Fifth-Thou shalt not retard the de-
velopment Of thy country by permitting
fields to become foul and the weeds to
grasp and devour the moisture needed
by the crops.
Sixth-Thou shalt labor diligently six
days to study and apply the principles
of soil culture, and on the seventh day
thou shalt thank the Lord thy God for
all new and progressive ideas.
Seventh-Thou shalt not be discour-

HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELF - -. -. -.

II so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort Of reputation
is back Of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fall
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
1.-THE quickest and surest way
TO reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has high
standing in the community 1t
serves, and has the confidence
of it's readers.
"rhe most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label--that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
THE combination Of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"
