In the case of Isaquena and Eliza

STATE REVENUE AGENT FILES
ANOTHER SUIT.
Wants Premium Taxes Due for Last
Half of 1920 with Damages.

The. newest step in the antitrust
suits pending against fire insurance
companies in this state was instituted
recently when State Revenue Agent
Stokes v. Robertson filed suit in the
Chancery Court at Jackson seeking
to discover the amount of premium
taxes due by insurance companies
sued as violators of the states anti
trust laws for the last half of of 1920
and to collect the same with damages
of one hundred per cent.
At a recent hearing on the insur-
ance suits the insurance commission
er and attorney general entered an
interviewer asking the chancellor to
pay over to the state through officers
the amount due the state for prem
ium taxes out of the funds garni
sheed by the revenue agent is in the
nature of an answer to this interven
er. The receivers appointed for the
insurance companies have already
had meeting and organized and it
is expected, will in short time COM
mence to check over the accounts of
companies whose funds have been
garnisheed.
1t is not expected there will be
further court action in these cases
before May.
1t is noticeable that no fire insur-
ance companies announcing with
drawal have paid their 1921 privilege
taxes, which are now past due.

BAY THIRD TIME WINNER.
Editor Sea Coast Echo:

Editor Sea Coast Echo:
On Friday, February 25th, Bay
High played Pass Christian and were
victorious by score of 29-18.
Our boys have bad very little prac-
tice for the past few weeks owing to
the illness of one of our guards, B.
Jackson, which was a great handi-
cap, but they played a very good
game. Although some of the boys
were small, they put up aTssif fight.
In the first half our boys didn't fight
very hard, but in the second half
they showed the opposing team they
were wide-awake. In the first half
Ellis Sylvester, one of our guards,
put in the first field goal which
started the ''ball rolling" and when
the whistle blew the score was 1913
in favor Of B. H. S.
But in the middle of the last half
the game was tied which made it
more interesting and all the Bay
''rooters" grew very anxious until
one of our men put in a field goal
that made them brighten up and
again have hope. 1t wasn't long be-
fore the whistle blew and Pass Chris
tian found themselves defeated.
