Legislative Press Notes.

ed to establish new county out Of parts
of Yazoo, Washington and Holmes. We
understand that the new county move.
ment has some strong friends in certain
portions Of the territory named above.

The Governors message, cGplous ex-
tracts from which we publish elsewhere,
is in every respect very creditable
document. Il is plain, practical busi-
ness-like, moderate and dignified in tone,
aud contains, besides an exhaustive ex-
hibit OF the resources and condition Of
the State, a number Of timely and SEN
siblo suggestions. Columbus Index.
Col. Inge, as Speaker, and Gen. vii.
hanson us Clerk, are the right men In
the right places. While We didn't do
any OF the voting, our ticket was elected
all the same.--Enterprise Courier.
II is to be hoped that the Legislature
in its wisdom will enact somo law that
will give us better roads.--Ashland Reg

The Governors Message is good and
statesmanlike document and makes n
good showing for Mississippi,-Canton

Gov. Lowry has done himself great
credit, and the State most excellent
service, by his able, comprehensive,
practical message. II is a straight.for-
ward, business document, and through.
out expresses positive convictions upon
every subject affecting the vital inter
ests of the people Of Mississippi In their
commonwealth relation. II Is not char
aetcrized by gush aud fine writing; nor
is there anything of trucking spirit

the public expressions OF executive otll-
cers.-Macon Sun.
We hope they will give us good
road law. Something entirely different
from anything we have had heretofore.
There is abundance of room for wise
legislation in this direction. Then our
public schools laws should be improved,
The public schools under the present
system are absolutely nuisance,
The privilege tax law should be abol-
ished by all means, except ms II applies
to transients, and should be made plain
er and more Just In its application to
them.--Clay Go. Leader.
The election Of Hon. w. M. Inge, Of
Alcorn county, as Speaker Of the House,
is a well meritod honor put upon a de-
serving man, and will, no doubt, be very
gratifying to his numerous friends in

ing to discharge the duties Of the posi-
| tion which he has been called upon TO
occupy, and we are satisfied that he will
| fill il most acceptably to all concerned.

whether or not II has the contract for
furnishing advice, but judging from the
air Of some recent articles We would
Judge that the editor was laboring under
that infatuation. .--Kosciusk Star.

school laws Panolian.
From the expression | hear from all
sides, there is no doubt but what q bill

entrusted TO commissioners or simply by
legislative enactment, II Is impossible 10
