ASSESSMENT ROLLS.
state Auditor Advises Supervisors I

Hon. w. .. Cole, State Auditor, has
sent out & circular letter to the boards
Of supervisors in Mississippi advising
them to allow the assessors thirty days
more in which to complete ;heir assess
ment rolls and file with the boards for
approval.
according to law, the assessment
rolls should be fled at the regular
meeting on the first Monday in July,
bu, the boards have authority to post
pone the fling If good reasons exist.
The reason in this case is the fact that
the blank rolls were moi received from
the public printers until about ten days
AGO and it will be an impossibility for
many OF the assessors to make up their
books ready Tor filing by the July meet
ing. Assessor Williams has his report
about made up but this extension OF
time will allow him TO give it more
careful attention and insure accuracy.

The Mckinley administration is the
most extravagant in the history OF the
country. The figures are astounding,
and testify to the burden OF taxation
with which the country is afflicted. 1t
is a condition that cannot be continued
without the most disastrous consequent
ces to the country. The people should
ponder over this matter, for If Nc
Kinley Is reelected his next four years

LESS POLITICS MORE business.

The SENTINEL is glad that the COM
ing political campaign will not affect
Mississippi as it does northern states
where there Is d lighting chance for
both parties to win. In some localities
political feeling runs riot, business is
unsettled aud neglected, every nan be-
comes a politician and spends the golden
hours in which he should be gathering
honey, 10 vain and s~euseless mouthings
in favor of this party or that. Every
citizen should have a due regard for the
responsibilities imposed upon him. and
should thoughtiully consider the prob
lens of government, that he may intel
ligently cast his ballot, but to go stark
mad over politics when he is not per-
s~onally interested is the rankest kind
OF nonsense.
The SENTINEL earnestly desires that
Bryan and Democracy may win in the
coming battle, that corruption may be
delhroned and that pure men may sit in
high places, but il is not going upon
the idea that upon it depends the veal
or woe OF the party to which it gladly
swears allegiance. While we expect
to do our foil duty and keep our read
ers posted on the situatinn as the cam
paign progresses, we do not propose to
devote an inordinate amount OF time
and space to politics.
In the meantime, while the battle
wages fiercely else where, we shall Ell
deayor to get out the best local paper
in the State, hoom Grenada, nurse her
and nurture her and rally her people
TO greater endeavors along lines Of in
dustrial progress.

Are you with US?

WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minister
OF Washington, claims the Boxer out
break is all due to the missionaries.
He says that the different religious Of
Confucianism, Buddhism and Moham-

turtles side By side in China and have
been tolerant OF each others faith.
But the Christian missionaries go there
and teach the people that their an
cestors, whom they venerate, worship
ed false gods, we're altogether wrong
in their religious notions, and that
they are probably now in hades. Inn
