For who has visited any of the Span

fate is just trembling in the balance. some-
thing of an air OF mystery hovers around an i'm
portant article of traffic known the machete.
Shady notions of its actual mission pervade the

more dubious by the occasional references to II In

Figures.

Whilst the Auditors report show, an
excess of disbursement over receipts
for the year ending Sept. Goth 1895, of
$18i ,9l1.56 for two years, yet this does
not prove that it went for State officers
salaries, and that we ought not to have
a decent capitol. 1t is the result OF
unwise legislation that can be shown.
The assessable valuation of all property
real, personal and railroads is shown
to be $177, 3l2, 1863. Nswwe want some
of our readers who have got more sense
about figures than we have to tell us
how much it would cost on every dol
lars worth of taxes man pays, to give
the Governor S5,000-the salary of q
Congressman. or what it would cost on
the same dollars worth of taxes to
build q million dollar capitol. We
would like to have an answer from
some of orr school professors especially
which would be authoritive.

at great disadvantage in catering to

entertainments, from the indiscrimi-

emit troupes There are also some OF
the opera house managers who seem
to think that because they have been
t'taken in" they must keep silent, and
give the troupe strong letter OF rec.
omm -ndation to the people of the next
town they GO to, and get them soaked"
too. None but the very best should re-
ceive high encomiuns under any cir
cumstances. so that the unworthy
would finally be eliminated. Compli-
mentary tickets nor job work should
not induce any editor to recommend
any Company not intrinsically deserv-
ing it, for these things are matter OF
business for which the press always
renders al equivalent in programs or

ED. CANTON TIMEs:-


In reviewing the proceedings of the
Board of Supervisors, notice the Board
elected Hon. J. B. Chrisman attorney
for the County. 1t seems little
strange that Mr.. Chrismap should have
been selected for this place, in the face
of the fact. that he is in reality, not .
citizen of Madison county. Not more
than three days ago he stated to .
gentleman of Canton that he had not
fully decided to locate here. We boast
Of as able bar as any county in Mis-
sissippi, and it strikes me that the
Board could certainly have made a Sc
lection from such distinguished gentle
men and able attorneys as VIM. Pow
ell, F. B. Pratt, J. w. Dowss, H. b.
iireaves and I. s. Ward. The people
have confidence in these gentlemen,
and see no good reason why one OF
them should not have been selected to
fill this place. Especially.,ss one Of
them offered to serve the County fol
the same pay as was voted Mr.. Chris
