Weeks.

Senatobia. The school teachers,
lalong with the officers in Tate county,
had not received their salaries for the
past six weeks on November 2S. It
doesn't look like the "ghost will walk
for some time yet. Taxes are being
Z paid slowly-slower than ever before.
according to the statement of Sheriff
Williams. All the county officers are
under the salary law now; the fees
collected by them being turned into
the county strong box; and, according
10 recent ruling obtained from the
attorney-general by the chancery
clerk. 1t is unlawful for the clerk OF
the board of supervisors to Issue a
warrant unless there Is money on
hand in that particular fund with
which to pay the warrant.
No warrants have been drawn by
the clerk of the board for more than
month. The attorney-general also
held that an officer could not retain
his fees and settle with the treasurer
by turning in his SALARY warrant as
cash. Neither can a warrant be is
sued to holder to be used in paying
taxes unless there is money on hand
, 10 pay It. SO there is no way around;
( the "long green" must be actually in
the bag before there's anything doing.
