The Proposed Hog Law.

EDITOR LEADER.-In my opinion tn e
Postal Card petitions directed to the
Board of Supervisors asking that an
election be held to determine whether
Swine or hogs of all kinds" shall be
allowed to run at large is mileading.
Section 2057 Annotated Code 1892,
provides that the tickets to be voted
at such election shall have printed on
them the following: "For the stock
law" Against the stock law" and
"For partial stock law" In the event
a majority of the votes cast shall not
be against stock law, the Board of
Supervisors shall enforse either a
stock law, or partial stock law,
which ever of the two have received
the most votes. A vote for partial
stock law shall mean a law requiring
the owners of hogs, sheep and goats
to keep them confined. My con-
tention, is that the Board of Super
visors cannot order an election to
keep hogs confined without including
sheep and goats, and as there seems to
be quite number of people who are
under the impression that this law is
to apply to hogs only, l deem it but
right that they be informed correctly.
The Board of Supervisors, if they
see proper, can order an election on
this question without a petition in
the matter, but in order to declare
the stock law in force without an elec-
ton, they must have petition signed
by at least two thirds of the resident
free holders and lease holders for
term of three years or more.

LINCOLN LED OFF.

The publication of the DELINQUENT
personal and poll-tax payers in Smith
county, by order of the board of super
Vlsors, has been generally commented
Oh oy the press of the State and all
agree that it is splendid scheme. If
man evades or refuses payment of
MS share of the burden of government,
publish him to the world, that his
neighbors may know the kind of a
man he ls.-Brdndon Meas.
Smith County's Board of Supervis-
ors has received great praise for its
action in this matter, but the credit for
taxing the initiative in the publication
OF these delinquent tax lists rightly be-
longs to the two last Boards of Super
Visors OF Lincoln. The old Board which
" went out of office in January, 1896, had
.he nrst list published in The LEADER
in 1888. The new Board, which sue
oeeded them, did not have the list pub
iisned In 1896, but copied after their
PREDECESSORS in 1897. After missing
1890, The present Board has decided to
,e'urh TO the plan adopted in 1897, and
nas ,as ordered the list of delinquents for
1893 published in THE LEADER next

member of the Board in 1895 aud one
u the first to advocate publication,

and as results have demonstrated the
siSdom OF the policy, it is likely to be

DEATH REMOVES IMPORTANT STATE
WITNESSES.

WITNESSES.
THE LEADER few months ago refer
red to the fact that Is men, supposed
to have been part of the old white
cap clan we're indicted at the last term
of the Circuit Court for the murder OF
a farmer named c. P. Chapel, near
Norfeld, in 1894 When they were ar
rested after Court adjourned and ar
raigned for preliminary trial before
Chancellor Conn, they were released
on bond, because Zack Moak and T. A.
Reeves, the only State witnesses against
them had disappeared and could not
be found in the county. 1t was alleged
at the time that Moak and Reeves had
run away to keep from testifying, and
had gone to Louisiana.
The LEADER now learns through De-
putty Sheriff, Elan Robinson, that
about three weeks ago, Mrs. Reeves re-
ceived a telegram announcing the death
of her husband in Louisiana, few
miles east of Amite City, and inquiring
what she desired done with the re-
mains. She answered to have them
buried there, which was done. Mean
while, Zack Moak had quietly slipped
back home, where he remained in con-
cealment, and fell sick. On last Thurs
day, before his return was generally
known or a physician summoned, he
grew worse and died.
AS these were the only witnesses
against the alleged murderers, the in
dlctment against them will fall to the
ground.

That there are five thousand theatres
in America, and that one million and a
half people attend them each week
day night, spending seventy million of
dollars year on theatre-going, are
the surprising facts with which Mr..
Franklin Fyles, the dramatic editor of
the New York Sun, will open an impor-
tant series in the next issue of the
Ladies' Home Journal. The series
will be called "The Theatre and Its Peo-
ple," and will run through seven num-
bers of the magazine, lavishly lillustra-
ted with pictures made by twelve diff
ferent artists. The article treats of
every phase of the theatre, the play and
the actor, from the inside, and will tell
how a theatre is managed; the actual
money which plays have made; how an
actor is trained and what the actors
are actually paid; how play is writ
ten and what the authors receive; how
play is rehearsed; the first night of a
play; how the actresses make up" and
what they use: and in a minute way
the two last articles will show what
goes ON behind the scenes on the stage
during performance. 1t is curious
fact that this will be the first time
that the theatre and the actor have
ever been exhaustively treated in a
magazine, and that there is no book on
the subjeca in existence.
