MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
VALIDITY OF SCHOOL
Law IS ATTACKED
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT ENIOINED
FROM AIDING COUNTIES.
Chancellor Jones Makes Injunction Per.
petual-Early Opinion Will Be
Sought From Higher Tribunal.

Jackson.-Chancellor ID, z. Jones ef
the Fifth chancery court district trans
TERED his chambers from the courthouse
TO the offices Of the encouragement for
the purpose of hearing arguments in
the latest injunction suit against a state
department. The case was that of ], E,
Pridgen against the department of edu.
cation, the attorney-general, auditor and
other administrative officers charged
with disbursement, to restrain the al.
owance and payment of a sum specifi.
eally stated at about 81, 900, for the pur.
pose OF experimenting the school funds
OF the county of Jackson.
The legislature Of 1912 passed an act
which is chapter 5 of the acts of that
year, appropriating $4,000 from which
the state board of education is authoriz-
ed to supplement the funds of any coun-
ty in the state where the county funds
are not sufficient to permit q fous.
month term in that county.
Since the enactment of the statute
some doubt has arisen as to its consti.
nationality and the state officers charged
with enforcement of its provisions de.
eided to get a thorough legal test. There
fore, j. E. Pridgen, a well known citi.
zen of Jackson, allowed his name to be
used as the complainant and the injunc.
ton bill was filed.
The constitutionality was argued BY
Assistant Attorney-General Johnston, Us
ISOLATED with his colleague, Hon. Geo. H
Ethridge. Their arguments were clearly
and ably answered by James Money

After carefully hearing both sides and
briefly reviewing the close constitutions

Chancellor Jones delivered an oral dc
cree sustaining the application and max
ing the injunction perpetual. When tn.
decree is reduced to writing and tn,

the case will be carried Immediately t.
the supreme court by the attorney-gen
eral and an early ruling by that trib
unal will be sought. 1t is believed b.

STATE HEALTH

Jackson-Specialists of the state board
of health, DR.. HUMPHREYS, psychologists.
and DR.. Watkins, statistician, continue
to be thoroughly occupied in taking
care of the work intrusted to them.
As to the former, some idea may be
had Of the volume of work which passes
through the laboratory by the number
of special examinations recorded during
the month Of February. According to
his records, DR.. HUMPHREYS has made
1908 psychological examinations, COW
ering every conceivable specimen sub.
ject to analysis, and from all portions
Of the state. The investigations have
covered water, milk, butter, blood from
all sorts, K and ages of the human
family, and other matter sent by health
officers, sanitary inspectors, physicians
in private, hospital officials, animal or.
gans and divers and sundry other sub
stances. DR.. Humphreys remains in
his laboratory from early forenoon until
late hour of the night, leaving his of
flee building geneally long after other
occupants have retired to their homes
and beds.
The testimony of medical men and
others who have proited by the in.
designations is that this state labora.

the whole people that a Mississippi leg.
stature has ever made, and the general
impression is that it will be retained as
an indispensable branch of human &C.
tivity in the state. Judging from the
start for March, it is probable the record
for February will be considerably over
topped.
DIR. Watkins, in charge of the ~statisti
cal bureau, has recently been absent on
a visit to Iowa and other western states
making investigatiins which he feels
sure will result in beneficial effects fol
the work in this state.
1t is probable that a meeting of tn,
board will be called for some time in
April.

HOW'D YOU LIKE A HOUSE SNAKE
THEY ARE VALUBLE

Notice to move on has been served
on the night blooming Thomas cat.
A snake has entered his garden of
Eden and worked him out of job.
There is every reason to believe
that the snake will work it's serpen-
tine way into the affections of the
public. The snake is a better, more
Wholesome and far more sanitary
household pet than either the cat or
the dog and in some localities is
welcome guest.
: The restoration of the snake to the
place he belongs in this country is
due. in measure to its ardent de-
Tenders among the naturalists, but
probably in a greater degree to the
fact that more Americans are travel
ing in the tropics and are therefore
becoming acquainted with the really
great value reptiles have in the work
of making all sorts of vermin keep
their distance.
There are a number of varieties of
snakes that are not only harmless,
but are great helps to mankind. In
tropical countries they have long
been utilized as killers of rats, mice,
bugs and other annoyances of the
household. One of the queer things
the Americans became acquainted
with in the Philippines was the house
snake.
Almost every old home in that
country had one or more reptiles liv-
ing within it's walls. Sometimes they
disturbed the sleeper by their. agility
in thrashing between the walls after
;rats-but the annoyance was tenn
porary, as it was less than is usually
made by the gnawing of mouse
and it effectually prevented mice
from being put in a position where
they could gnaw.
J The superiority of the snake over
the cat as a mouser is so great that
there is hardly comparison. The cat

the hole after the rodent. There are
at least two general varieties OF
snakes found in all sections OF the
United States that are of great value
as exterminators of household pests.
These are the black snake and the
so-called garter snake. The latter
name is used to classify several va.
rieties of the snake family having
Similar characteristics. All of these
are absolutely harmless-their bite,
if they give one, not being any more
than a scratch.
Snakes of, these two sorts are not
publicity seekers They remain in the
background and ask simply to be let
alone The garter snake will live in
a cellar or between the brick walls
and the plastering of house in great
comfort, if he is let alone. He is not
timid, in the sense of keeping out of
the way of mankind, as he is the only
snake that is known to come right
into cities to live. But he does not
follow man around.
The black snake is even more
timid, but likewise he is more valu-
able. He is the friend of the farmer
and nowadays the agricultural in
situations are urging the tillers of the
land throughout the country to Gull
tivate the acquaintance of the black
snake and make him feel at home.
The benefit he'll do the farm through
the determination of rats, gophers,
skunks and all sorts of animal and
insect pests, are wonderful.

Many people prefer asparagus serv-

soft, as previously stated, and serve
