mo PAY FOR
TWO YEARS
A SERIOUS ERROR IN APPRO-

MAY BE OTHER ERRORS
Judge Sam Cook and District At
torney Brewer nust Serve
Without Pay.

Jackson, Miss, March Since the
legislature has adjourned it is now in
order to make a careful scrutiny of
;he bills passed and ascertain the err
rors maze during the hurry and bustle
Of legislative enactment.
The first error thus far unearthed is
In the bill creating the new eleventh
,irouit court district, and it has been
developed that the judge and district
attorney recently appointed by the
governor and confirmed by the senate
will be compelled to serve two years
without pay.
The bill creating the new district
was passed in regular form and with
out error, but the general appropria-
tion bill, which carries about $75, 600
TO pay the salaries of officials for the
next biennial period, failed to pre- 'ide
compensation for the circuit couss 31tl'
cials in the new Eleventh aIstcief
For this reason Judge Sam O. JnoE
and District Attorney Brewer will not
have "ghnst walk" until after SAC
legislature meets in 1904 and pa - d
bill remunerating them for service
rendered. Thus far no intimation
has been given out as to whether these
two officials will consent to serve
without pay, bu5 1t is fair TO presume
that SATISFACTORY arrangements can be
made whereby they viii not be COM
PEELED to relinquish their offices. 7
