The free and independent voters
OF this part Of the moral vineyard.
think it about time for Judge Bfide'
we'll to rise aud explain the "trus tn
wardpess' OF this Mississippi Mills
matter. It can neither be delayed
or lodged. What Mil "mansgsr'
did he confer with; who agreed to
pay money TO the county. and Why
wan II not done. The fac's in this
case have been hidden and smother.

their then board Of supervisors and
their paid attorney full explsua-

INTO decent society.
Til. present war cry OF the RAIDS

shouts be miscunsiru Il in this ma.
ter of exsmp'iug the NIL hire from
taxation, let me- state my position
plainly. Tue legislature passed al
act that was virtually Il con- ract
with this company, under Which
contract the company built mills
here that are an honor as we'll a.
profit TO the State. Tnsy manufac
ure & wds that command ready sale
in ali parts Of thess United States,
and distribute thousands Of dollars
monthly IN Mississippi that were
brought from elsewhere and put IL
circuiatlup here. At the end Of the
lime for which they were exempted
if there il q voter ia Wessnn who
would graut them further exemption
ou the same properly. I have not the
honor Of his acquaintance. and until
that term expires every attempt to
violate that contract on the part Oj
the State or county is unjust and an
act OF bad faith.
Furthermore, the assertion thai
the Mills managers c 'ntrol the poll
Tics OF Wes.on is ridiculous and an
insult to our people. Only one Of
he Mill owners resi'e here, and he
simply exercises the privilege Of vot.
ing with the maj 'rity Of the deceut
peoDle OF The St.'e. That's all.
