Commissioners Busy

The announcement in yester-
days ARDMoRETTE that the map of
Ardmore has been finished and
that the commissioners desired all
property owners to visit their
Office and verify the location of
property on the map before it is
sent to Washington has had the
desired effect.
From an early hour this morn
ing the townsite commission Office
has been crowded with visitors in
tent ON seeing that their property
was properly listed and that their
names are placed on the roll cor
rectly.
This is essential to avoid con
fusion of title hereafter, for pat
ents will issue from the govern
ment to the persons whose names
appear on the roll as owners of the
property and if names are incor-
rect it may cause trouble and de.
lay in securing title.
Tomorrow and next day also the
map and roll will be open to in
spection, after which time they
will be closed and no corrections
will be made. The map and roll
of property owners will be sent tC
| Washington Thursday.

A member of the New York Assembly

the following was sent with the desired
document:
DEAR SIR-In response to yours Of Janu-
ery 81, enclose the Franchise Sections of
Hnr Constitution. Mississippi has passed
10 law DISTINGUISHING negro voters. The
Moderate educational test applies to both
races alike. Wesay that any citizen, black
Rpr white. who cannot read, OF who will not
Ray his poll tax, is not entitled to vote.
There are now 1910 registered colored
Nbters in Mississippi, and as the negroes
enjoy the same educational advantages as
the whites in this State, the colored vote
will steadily increase. Our laws as to the
franchise and education make no discrimi-
netion whatever. Our Legislature, now in
fession, has voted $2,000000 for common
eehools for 1900 and 1901 and this will be
distributed per capita to the several coun-
les, regardless of race, color or previous
ambition" etc. Very truly,

"Introduotion of Bllls.' -


A good many years ago Col. John D.
Bills, now a citizen of Corinth, repre-
sented one of the northwestern coun-
ties in the State senate. He was one OF
the most courtly and influential mem
bers of that body. In the newspaper
report of the proceedings from day to
day, there were such headlines as RE
ports of Committees" "Senate Bills
on Third Reading" introduction of
Bills" etc. 'Introduction of Bills" APP
peared daily, and the name of Mr.. Bills
occurred frequently in the proceedings.
Finally longtime subscriber of The
Clarion relieved himself in this way:
Mr.. Editor-I read the proceedings of the
legislature very carefully, but there is one
thing in the senate proceedings that makes
me tired. Don't you think it's about time
to quit introducing Mr.. Bills} Let him have
q rest, and greatly oblige,
AN OLD SUBSCRIBER.
In reference to the new capitol, sew
eral points are practically settled:
First, that it will be built; second, that
it will be on the penitentiary site;
third, that the maximum cost af con-
struc ion and supervision is not to ex-
coed one million dollars. The two
house bills constitute five of the State
officers as the commission. This was
the commission provided for in the SEN
ate Kiger bill, but it has been changed
so that the governor and attorney-gen-
eral are to be of the commission, the
governor to appoint another, the senate
the select one and the house another,
both to be approved by the governor,
and in case of vacancy the governor to
appoint. The three thus appointed to
receive an annual salary of $500 each,
and mileage at the rate of five cents each
way for trips to semi-monthly inspec-
ton. The senate has passed the bill
a million dollars, penitentiary site.
