The Meridian News suggests that
at the coming meetings of the boards
of supervisors at jackson on Oct. 16
they shonld not only devote them
selves to design plan for equaliz-
ing the basis of assessment between
the counties, but also within the in
diviaual counties themselves so that
the conscientious property holder
shall no longer bear an undue share
of the burden, while his less sorupu-
lous neighbor reaps the benefit. 1t is
suggested that the boards should re-
commend the passage Of law au-
thorining the employment of q county
revenue agent. who will have the
power to ferret out assessments not
properly given in, and also to investi-
gate cases where false representations
have been made in regard to the
value of property. While Lefiore
county has Of its own volition en-
ployed an attorney to discharge a
portion of the duties here suggested.
the News thinks it would be wiser
plan TO have a general state law
passed, compelling the boards to elect
such an officer and pay him proper
compensation.

Warden Parchman has disposed of
18l bales of cotton, the remnant of
the last years crop to the Newburger
Cotton Company for an average price
of seven and one-quarter cent. The
cotton was delivered to the compress
at Starkville. This will suffice to
straightcn out the penitentiary af-
fairs and put surplus in the treas
ury, as it has done in the past The
sale Of this cotton calls attention to
the unfortunate policy pursued last
fall by the board of holding back for
higher prices, course that will be
studiously avoided in the future, it
being resolved to sell the cotton as 1t
is ready for the market Warden
Parchman reports an unfortunate con-
dition of affairs in the delta. He
states that in the northern counties
Of that section the recent rains and
winds have 30 injured the cotton that
he hardly thinks more than half
crop will be made. In the lower
part Of the delta, including the coun-
ties of Washington, Suntiower, Shar-
key, Issaquepa and Warren, there is
an average crop, but the late rains
have caused sprouting in the bolls,
and the heavy August growth which
came too late to mature, is an addi-
tional injury. Half of the corn Is on
the ground, and a short crop Is ex-
pected. The conviots on the various
state plantations are in good health,
with the exception of ohills and fe-
yer, which are to a certain extent
prevalent on some places.

The action of tho board of trustees
of Alcorn College in deciding to ad-
NIT negro girls on the same condi-
tions as boys, thus establishing sys-
tenn Of co-eduoation, is arousing con-
siderable opposition among the people
in that section, who are in position
to know something Of the workings
Of the school, and 1t is declared that
the new plan, If persisted in. will re-
suit in running the institution, which
in the past has undoubtedly done
great good for the negro youth Of the
state. Not only do many Of the white
citizens disapprove of the plan, but
many of the best negroes themselves
are said to oppose the change. The
trustees themselves are not unit on
the matter, one of them, O. A. Cor
don of Port Gibson, publicly stating
that he trusts the trustees will aban-
don the plan, as he believes no good
can ever come Of 1t. He states un-
hesi tatingly that he is opposed to ad-
mitting negro girls. While favoring
some provision for their industrial
education, he thinks it should be In a
separate school. AS for the buildings
which have been erected on the cam.
pus to accommodate the girls, they
could be used for some other purpose
Just as we'll, and tho state would be
out nothing because OF the abandon
ment Of the plan.

WILLING TO LEARN.
German Expert Will Study American
Farm Machinery.

Washington, Feb. 22-Baron Her
mann, agricultural expert Of the Ger
man embassy, has received word from
the German government that a special
ist designated by the agricultural So
cities will leave Berlin soon for the
United States to make a careful in
qu1ry into the use of American agricul-
tural machinery, with a view to intro
ductlon into general use in Germany.
Baron Hermann for some time has been
urging on the German authorities the
marked advantages Of American agri-
cultural machinery. He looks upon the
move as one Hkely to prove beneficial
both to German agriculture and to
American manufacturers. The agricul-
tural sections of Germany are being de-
populated while the manufacturing
centers are becoming overcrowded and
it is felt by the German government to
be desirable to give every modern IA
cility to the agricultural class to in
crease the productive capacity of the
farms to their full limit. Baron Her
mann has urged this upon the govern
ment, and it is now the purpose to make
a thorough inquiry both on the farms
and in the agricultural implement fac

$500 pRNIEs GUILT NOW.
Safe in Atchison Jail Miss Goerbrick'a
Assailant Talks Bravely.

Atchison, Feb. 22@"Slick' Slater the
man a mob was after in Topeka last
night, is in the Atchison county jail. He
was brought here for safe keeping We'd
nesday, on the Santa Fe train that ar
rives here at 6:45, by Under Sheriff Will
liams, of Shawnee county, and Sheriff
Kiff, of AtchisOn county, who happened
to be on the train
Slater practically admitted his guilt to
the officers on their way to Meriden,
saying that if he were allowed to stand
trial at AtchiSon he would plead guilty
and take any sentence imposed. He
made a4out the same statement to Sher-
if Kiff, but denied his guilt to a repor-
ter this morning, saying he could prove
an alibi. He admitted that he was in
Topeka part of Monday evening, but
said he was with good people, and that
ne could show by them that he was not
at the scene of the assault. When the
reporter called attention to the evidence
against him, he said he was taken be-
fore three women at two different times
and was told that one of them was the
girl who had been assaulted. He said
he did not know her. He said the hat
and belt We're tried on him, but that
they did not fit. Asked why he agreed
to plead guilty, he said he was told by
officers that he would surely be mobbed
if tried in Topeka, and that rather than
lose his life he would take a couple of
years at Lansing. He says he didn't ad-
NIT anything.
Slater will be kept at Atchison several
weeks, but must be taken to Topeka for
trial. Threats are freely made that he
will never leave there alive if taken
