Special to PenioenC Jackson, June S. The State has scored a victory in tho effort to secure a reversal of the recent decision rendered in rearard to the Sixteenth Section School" lands. On the suggestion of error fi'ed by the Attorney General the court has remanded the case to the docket for a re-argument and lias set the first diy of the November term 'for the hearing.

On account of the heavy press of work incident to winding up the 'locket for the present term it was not found practicable to have a re-hoaring of the case at this term. This case is one of vast importance as it affects the schools in nearly every county of the State. The Sixteenth Section school lands are trust lands which are leased out in the various counties for the benefit of the schools. Heretofore it has been the custom to lease the lands at any pric; that could be obtained and to permit the lessees to cut timber from the lands. In Southeast Mississippi, in the great pine belt, the timber on the school lands has so greatly enhanced in value of late years as to attract much attention to this extravagant waste, and the present suit was instituted to prevent the cutting of the timber on these lands by lessee3.

On the first hearing of the case the court divided and Justices Truly and Calhoon rendered an opinion holding that the lessees had the right to cut the timber under their 99 year leases. Judge "Whitfield dissented from this opinion, and the re-hearing will come up before the new court with Judge Mayes in place of Judge Truly. The case is also of interest to the schools and to many large lumber manufacturing concerns in Southeast Mississippi who leased the lands for the purpose of cutting the timber. If the Supreme Court should now reverse the former decision and hold that the lessees have had no right to take the timber under their lease contracts, then the Revenue Agent will be expected to proceed at once to recover to the counties Interested the value of the timber cut from the lands heretofore. In commenting on the case State Supterintendent Whitfield is quoted as saying that the sums due the schools for timber cut from these lands will pile way up into the millions.

In view of the fact that the case is now remanded for another argument and in view of the great financial interests at stake it is very probable that a strong array of counsel will appear here next November to argue the case, and the cause is de stined to go down into the history of litigation as one of the most Important questions as well as being the largest nvolving the largest amount of money indirectly of any case that was ever before the Supreme Court. It Is thought not altogether improb able that the case may find its way nto the Federal Courts before final adjudication, in which event it may be two or three years before it is finally disposed of. In the meantime it would be the part of wisdom for the lessees of these lands to refrain from cutting any more timber, as many of them would probably be bankrupted if the case should go against them and they should be called upon to pay for the timber at present market prices. State Baptist Convention. Notice is given that the annual ses sion of the Mississippi Baptist Convention will be held at Vicksburg, commencing on the 4th of July and lasting three daj-s.

A characteristic story of Tennyson is told in Louis Frederic Austin's posthumous work, "Points of View," which has just been published. Walking one day with Mr. George Meredith Tennyson was very silent and gloomy. Suddenly he growled: "Apollodorus (Austin's name for some unimportant Scotch divine) says I am not a great poet." Mr. Meredith objected that Apollodorus's opinion did not matter; Tennyson retorted: "But he ought not to say I am not a great poet." That was the entire conversation.

Thi reminds the Academy of a story of Matthew Arnold, to whom a friend once dared to hint that "Me-rope" was not Greek. Arnold threw up his eyes. "It may not be Greek," said he, "but it is very, very beauti ful!" Manchester Guardian. TEN YEARS IN BED. R.
