LAND TAX CASE REMANDED
SUPREME COURT DECIDES LOWER
COURT WITHOUT JURISDICTION.
Constitutionality Not in Question, De.
cides Tribunal, as No Overt Act
Has Been Taken by Officials
to Put It Into Effect.

Jackson.-ln the supreme court Chief
Justice Smith handed down the opinion
OF the court in dealing with the some
what noted litigation brought about by
the act of the legislature in 1912 plac-
ing privilege tax or occupation fee
OF 20 cents an acre on holders or occu-
piers OF timber lands in the state in
excess of 1000 acres. In order to fore
stall the state auditor and treasurer.
who are the officers charged under the
act with the duty of enforcing it's pro-
visions, in May, 1912, number of bills
were filed on behalf of different persons
and corporations affected to enjoin the
officers from taking steps to levy and
collect the tax provided for in these
bills of injunction, which are all identical
in terms, the validity of the acts and
the manner of their passage, by alleged
Justification of the records, journals and
tampering with the clocks, is vigorously
presented to the court.
The suits were filed in the chancery
court of Kinds county and were fully
argued before Chancellor Lyell, who, in
general terms, held the acts to be un-
constitutional and granting the injunc.
tion. From this decree the attorney
general took an appeal to the supreme
court.
In commenting on the case, Chief JUS
tice Smith declared that the question
before the bench was not that of consti-
tutionality, but of jurisdiction. With
out passing on the merits involved in
the controversy, the court held that as
the state officers sought to be enioined
had taken no overt steps toward enforce
ment OF the provisions of the act nor to
levy and collect" the tax provided for,
the court below was without jurisdic-
tlon. For this reason the case was or
dered reversed and remanded.

GOVERNOR BREWER
MAKES STATEMENT
DENIES HE SANCTIONS PLAN OF
COLLINS g. CO.
STATES REPUDIATED BONDS
Governor Reads Letter Sent Out by New
Workers to Legislators in Missis-
slpp, and Makes Comment
on the Circular.

Jackson.-Gov. Brewer denies that he
sanctioned a plan for the redemption of
the celebrated rcpudiated bond issue of
Mississippi many years before the Civil
War, as proposed in a circular letter sent
to legislators of this state by the firm OF
Ii. b. Collins & Co., bankers, of Wall
street, New York.
The letter stated that the members
of the firm had consulted with Gov
Brewer, among Others, regarding some
plan to redeem the ante-bclllm bonds,
which were repudiated by legislative en-
actment before the war. The New York
firm appears to be seeking to have Mis-
sissippi issue new bond on terms with
long sinking fund which would take up
the old repudiated bonds. The latter rep
resent something like $7,000,000.
Discussing the circular letter, Gov.
Brewer said.
81 don't know anything about the let
ter except what l read in the letter
printed in a paper. I note in the letter
that it says they conferred with me about
~, 'iiu III icPiJ w Chio Pdi Will say
that they never conferred with me about
sending out any letter of this kind. All
l had to say to them about it was that
under the constitution of this state no
member of the legislature or any other
public officer of this state could do any
thing looking to payment OF any kind
principal or interest out of any of the
funds of the state of Mississippi. In
~ther words the constitution prohibits the
sayment of any principal or interest on
s@ese bonds out of the state treasury, and
t 4ace no legislator or any other official
) this state could make any payment if
de so desired.
"Of course 1 could not sanction the
plan set out in this letter because it
would be violative of the constitution of
this state"

great many people, among them such
well-known persons as the parents of

proper remedy is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup

A good breakfast, a good appetite
and good digestion mean everything
to the man, woman or child who has
anything to do, and wants to get a
good start toward doing it.
A Mo. man tells of his wifes good
breakfast" and also supper made out
Of Grape-Nuts and cream. He says:
Il should like to tell you how much
good Grape-Nuts has done for my wife.
After being in poor health for the last
Is years, during part of the time
scarcely anything would stay on her
stomach long enough to nourish her.
finally at the suggestion of friend
she tried Grape-Nuts.
Now, after about four weeks on
this delicious and nutritious food, she
has picked up most wonderfully and
seems as well as anyone can be-.
EVERY morning she makes a good
breakfast on Grape-Nuts eaten just as
1t comes from the package with cream
or milk added; and then again the
same at supper and the change in her
is wonderful.

orally argued last week and goes back

will be closed out. There is another
$1,000 for the current year, but that
sum has been found inadequate. The
demands on tile fund are many, and some
of them heavy, so that $1,000 does not

State Treasurer Turns Loose Money as
Fast as Received.
State Treasurer p. S. Stovall has been
busy for the past few days paying war
rants for the pensions of the Confederate
veterans of the state. The treasurer is
retiring these warrants just as fast as
he receives funds.
The treasury has been rather empty
for the past few months and Mr.. Sto-
vail has been hard pressed to make pay
ments of those things absolutely neces-
sary without seeing the botteu of his
cash drawer.
The treasury will be the richer in Feb
ruary by great deal from the payment
of taxes but at that it will be necessary
for the governor to negotiate another
loan of approximately 100000.
