His Ruling in Poll Tax Case Set Aside

Saturday Judge Sloan rendered a

The case was brought up by Saxton

Judge Sloan delivered a lengthy

Notice of appeal was given but the
attorneys who brought the suit
admit that Judge Sloan's decision is
correct. Reese Ling, however, may
conclude to set aside the Sloan de-

can be kept under one management
at great saving, and in due time the
farm made self-sustaining, if indeed it
does not bring a small revenue to the
county. Meanwhile, the county pau
per farm which, with one of its houses,
has been rented out this year for 5000,
will be sold, and will doubtless bring
the county more than it's original cost.
There is now in the county treasury
to the credit of the general county
fund $l2,064.29; to the credit of the
road fund, g., ,441.34; which, with what is
yet to be collected, will be ample to
meet all necessary expenses with
some to spare at the end of the fiscal
year. And all this has been accom-
plished without any raise in the coun-
ty tax rate except the one-mill levy for
roads. 1t is also worthy of mention
that during its four years. term the
Board had to make an extra outlay one
year on account Of yellow fever quar-
antine and provide pest house and
medical attention for large number
of smallpox patients at cost Of hun
dreds of dollars.
In view of this splendid showing it is
gratifying reflection that two men,
bers of the old Board succeeded them
selves and are members of the new.
Messrs. s. A. Brister, G. T. Montgom-
cry and Zetus Linton, the other mem

his father moved to Franklin county,
where he continued to reside on his

COUNTY AFFAIRS.
A Fine Record Made by the Old
Board of Supervisors.

Like most public servants, Lincoln's
old Board of Supervisors which retired
from office on the 1st inst. to give place
to the new, doubtless received its full
share of unfriendly criticism; yet, when
the whole four years. administration
of this Board is called up in review, il
presents record of which the people
of the county and every member Of IL
may well feel proud.
The first important advance step
taken was the adoption of the contract
system for working all the first class
public roads in the county. Though
this was very unpopular step at first
and many embarrassing difficulties had
to be encountered, the system has
steadily grown in popular favor, Lin
coin has the best public roads she has
ever had in her history-far better
than any of her sister counties which
are still hammering along under the
old way-and the wisdom of the Board
has been more than vindicated by act
ual, tangible results. The Board built
more and better bridges than were
built during any equal period in the

history of the county; the wooden
bridge over Fair River on the Monti-
cello road, and the steel bridge over
the Homochitto on the Union Church
road NOW under contract, but not com
pleted) being the most costly.
The Board took early steps to abol-
ish the old system of caring for the
county paupers. Under the old plan
the county was paying from eighteen
hundred to twenty two hundred dol
lars year for this service. In 1897
the Board bought and equipped a
county poor house farm near Brook
haven at cost of $1,000. The cost of
conducting it the first year was 5000
and since that time the cost has been
only $3.50 annually.
Among the last important official
acts of the Board was the purchase of
a county convict farm of 4S0 acres just
east of Brookhaven, stocked and equip
ped ready for use. By removing the
paupers to part of this farm, it is cal
culated that the convicts and paupers

of years after marriage he engaged in
farming, to which calling he had been
reared. Four years he served acceptai
bly, as justice of the peace in district
No. 4. In 1885 he moved with his fam
lily to Brookhaven and was employed
as salesman and later as head clerk at
the store of F. H. Hartman. 1t was
here that Mr.. Parsons received the
practical training and developed the
fine business talents which rank him
now among Brookhaven's leading bust
ness men. In 1898 he engaged in mer-
chandising on his own account under
the firm name of Parsons & May, and
on Mr.. Mays retirement later, the firm
was changed to Parsons, Moreton &
Co, which in short time, has become
one of the leading mercantile estab-
lishments of this city.
On account of his we'll known prac-
tical sense aud recognized executive
ability, Mr.. Parsons was strongly solc-
tied in 1895 to become candidate for
Supervisor of district No. l, and was
triumphantly nominated and elected.
When the Board organized he was
chosen president, position he has fill
ed with distinguished ability and credit
to himself. Indeed, it is no unjust dis
Board to say that to him, far more than
to any other, is due the splendid ad-
ministration of the county's affairs,
which have been briefly recited above.
So strongly was this realized by Mr..
Parsons constituents in district No. l,
that last summer they solicited and
prevailed upon him, even against his
own inclinations, to become a candi-
date to succeed himself, and, having
gained his consent, ,triumphantly elect
ed him over all opposition. AS pub
lie official he has proved himself broad
minded, progressive, courageous and
conscientious, always seeking to ad-
vance the best interests of the county,
and it is greatly to the credit of the
new Board that they reelected him
president.
