sissippi, in the matter of Loeb-Lion Fe-
lix, Ltd, ct al, complainants, vs.. Amer
lean Express Company ct al, Judge

mandatory Injunction and dismissed
the bill, holding that under section 8
of the constitution, paragraph 8, the
congress has the power to regulate

of liquor, notwithstanding the same

Test New Law.

One of the first of the acts of the
legislature of 1916 to reach the su-
preme court for a validity test will
probably be the Hamphill law, which
seeks to clip the wings of the state
revenue agent, or the former state
revenue agent, by abatement of GER
tain causes arising out of acts of that
official which are now pending in
several counties throughout the state.
The act which is under scrutiny was
introduced and worked through the
legislature by Senator Hemphill
It's purpose, as declared, was to in
validate all back tax suits filed by J. c.
Johnston, state revenue agent, during
the last administration, to compel mer-
chants and cotton buyers to pay
holding privilege tax on all cotton held
unsold after Feb. 1, for a period Of
six years, ending with 1914.
The first cases gotten at were en-
tered in Warren county, and recently
Judge E. L. Brien in open court en-
tered an order of dismissal of alI' the
suits. agreeably to the provisions Of
the new act. To this counsel for Mr..
Johnston dissented, thereby laying
the predicate for an appeal.
The case will doubtless come up on
the constitutionality of the act of the
legislature, and the brief for the ap-
pellant will be prepared by ex-GoV. A.
Fl. Longino, representing former Reve-
nue. Agent Johnston.
The question of constitutionality
was quite thoroughly threshed out in
the legislature and in support of the
validity of the act, opinions were read
by such lawyers as Judge Will q
Mclean of Grenada, Hon. Edwa1
Mayes of Jackson and Gen. T. c.
Catchings of vickbsurg, backed up by
the legal learning among the legisla-
tors themselves.

Want Troop Camp.

Men of the military arm Of the pub
lie service Of Mississippi are taking
a considerable interest in the subject
OF 1916 state troop epcampment
and incidentally the question of Sc
lecting a tentative mobilization site.
Brig. Gen. Scales, adjutant general
Of the national guard. with his asso-
ciate officers, has been engaged in the
work Of looking up suitable sites for
the concentration, mobilization or ma
neuyer camps
Some of these are in the neighbor-
hood of Jackson and for general pur-
poses of either debarking or entrain-
ing troops they are considered to be in
every way worthy Of consideration.
A. number of officers, field and staff,
have visited headquarters recently,
and it is probable that the matter Of
selecting camp will be taken up and
settled shortly. While jackson people
have not been exerting themselves in
the matter, other towns and commun-
tiles have been doing some effective
advance work.
Notably is this true of Biloxi. Vicks-
burg. Meridian. Columbus and Gulf.
port.
DR.. E. N. Lowe, director Of the state
geological survey, returned from an
inspection trip to points in the south
ern part OF the state. where he went
to investigate sites as proposed to the
state for their Ame-bearing qualities
under the terms Of the act providing
for the establishment and operation
Of lime rock crushing plants by the
board Of penitentiary trustees. He
procured samples of the lime rock
deposits and sent them to DR.. W. N
Logan, state geologist at the Agricult-
Eral and Mechanical College, for Off
cial analysis.

PASTOR DEFENDS EDWARDS

PASTOR DEFENDS EDWARDS
The able, eloquent and keen OBJ
server, Rev J. W. Anderson, now of
Minot, N. d., but formerly pastor Qf
the Helena Congregational church, is
wrought up and justly indignant over
the malicious and unjust attacks upon
F. j. Edwards. The Rev. Anderson
is not in politics nor partisan and
has no political axe to grind save for
decency.
During his pastorate in Helena he
became acquainted personally with
Frank j. Edwards and the venerable
former Helena pastor takes umbrage
at the deluge of unfounded political
filth heaped upon Edwards by the
henchmen Of the Stewart machine.

harmony with President Wilson and
his policies.
On August Is, 1916, while the con-

rageous, insane program. In my
judgment when order is restored in
Europe it will be a fresh menace to
the peace and humanity of the world.
1t condemns our pretensions to inter-
national arbitrations, and world
peace as hypocrisy and mockery."
In letter to C. L. Coon, of Wins
ton, N. c., in November, 1915, Mr..
Kitchin said: 81 shall oppose the
big army and navy program with all
the earnestness and power l possess.
In the first place, practically all the
Republicans will vote for it, In the
second place although l know that
the convictions of four-ffths of the
Democrats are opposed to it, many of
them, I fear, large majority, will
fling away their convictions on this
question to pleaes the President and
do his will.
In senate speech on June 8, 1914,
Senator Tillman had this to say about
the repeal of the law permitting Am
erican vessels to pass free Of toll
charges through the Panama Canal:

OVER $4,000 KILLED IN
BRITISH INDIA BY SNAKES
(BytaAssociated Press. J

Simla, InE'a, Dec. 26.-More than
$4,000 people were killed by snakes
and wild animals in British India
last year. The government reports
show that 1928 persons were slain
by tigers and other beasts, and &c.
1883 perished through being bitten
by reptiles, an increase over the pre-
lvious year of 300 deaths met in
this manner. No figures are avail
able for the native States with their
population of some 90,O0O,O 900.
During the past five years ele-
fphants, tigers and other animals
have killed 9,192 people in British
India. and, of these, tigers have
claimed toll Of 3,682. In the same
period 116,S2S persons have died as
tthe result Of snake bites.
Last year the highest total Of
deaths due to animals in any one
province was in Bihar and Orissa,
where 6S4 people lost their lives,
tigers alone accounting for 376. In
the United Provinces one man -eating
tiger in the Almora district killed
ten persons out Of the provincial to-
tai Of twenty.
In order to effect the destruction
|of as many wild animals and snakes
as possible, the government pays
bounties. The number of animals
destroyed in 1915 was 25,036, in
Guiding 1852 tigers, 6,623 leopards,
ATS bears and 2,191 wolves. The
total number Of snakes killed was
1S4,66s
