Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1903-01-16

Revenue Agent Adams has just
had a large tract of timber land in
Greene county, belonging to a for
eign syndicate, assess I'd with back
taxes for the past two years. The
syndIo ate's attorneys have appealed
from the assessment to the circuit
court. Two years ago, 1T seems, the
Board of Supervisors assessed the
property for s. per acre, which was
an increase of about 200 per cent.
The syndicate protested and en-
joined the board from the assess
rent O. the officers from collecting.
Pending the suit the sheriff accept
ed a valuation of $3.50 per acre on
. the land, its former valuation. The
supreme Court threw the whole pro-
ceeding out, declaring that there
had been no assessment at ali on ac
count of irregularities relating to
the assessment rolls. At this juno
ture the revenue agent stepped in,
requested tie Board of Supervisors
to levy an assessment, which was
done, the valuation being fixed at
s. per acre. Should he win the back
tax suit, he will of course. give the
owners credit for the amount of tax
es paid on the lower valuation pend
ing the settlement of the former
suit.

A few days ago the police arrest
ed young white boy the name of
Powell Miller who claims that his
home is in Learned. in the lower
portion of this county. Miller is re-
ported to have called out negro
named William Davis, who was in
the colored waiting room at the
Union Depot, and at the point OF
pistol relieved him oil his overcoat.
After the white man had secured
tae overcoat be made a bargain
with the negro that they enter into
partnership in the hol1-up business,
and the two proceeded to the col
ored waiting room aud called out a
negro named Rufus Sells, and took
him down the track a short distance
tallinr him that there was man
down there with railroad JOB for
him. When they had Sells out Of
the glare of the electric lights, Mil
Ter heId-up the nergo at the point of
a pistol and relieved him Of 20 cents,
ell that Sells had on his person.
About this time the police put in an
appearance and arrested all three OF
them All took them to ilil. They
will remain there until the Grand
Jury investigates their cases. 1t is
probable that Miller ana the negro
Davis will be indicted for highway
robbery. The negro Sells is being
held by the police as witness. The

The bank Of Gulfport has concluded
to increase its capital from the origi-
nal amount of $40, 900 to $1,000, 600. 1t
seems that Gulfport is determined to
have the biggest and the best of every
thing going if money and energy can
get it. If it will now nurse the pro-
ject of the Frisco to build its line
there and succeed in the undertaking
that little city on the gulf will soon
become one of the biggest and best in
the state. But Gulfport must not
conclude that all roads must find a
terminus in That city and all it has
to do is to lie back and see them
come. The people must form COM
mittee of the whole and invite roads
and, if necessary, pay them to come
to that city. Then after awhile other
roads will pay back the money for the
privileges of getting into the city.

IT rs NOT PROBABLE.

1t may be discovered that after all
Mr.. Fox crawled out of his hiding
place on his own accord and not
brought out by any one. We do not
think the gentleman could be made a
cats paw in any such way as has
been charged up to him. Any body
could see through such scheme as
that of bringing ont candidate to beat
Mr.. Vardaman. But it is hardly
probable that Mr.. Fox would be a
party to it and certainly he could not
plead innocence in thing of this
kind. However, if he was brought
out by a clique at Jackson, as it is
charged, the matter is bound to leak
out and it will defeat him as it
should. Political cliques and COM
binations have about played out in
this state, but the people having been
deceived so often in this matter they
are keeping a watchful eye on any
and all movements in that direction.
It is admitted that there are men in
the state who would be we'll pleased
to have thu present administration
continued as heretofore ON the expir-
alton Of the present one and they are
very willing to put up the money to
put in Office man to whom they can
dictate, but we are not yet ready to
believe that they have centred on Mr..
Fox, for the case is too open 1t is
evident, however, that Mr.. Varda-
mans policy cannot be directed by an
other and for this reason there will
be natural disposition to beat him,
and what is here stated of him will
fit Mr.. Noel. We know nothing
about the other gentlemen, but one
may conclude that the administration
could not be run by others if Noel, Var
daman or Critz were in office.

The Gulf and Ship Isalnd railroad
is going right ahead ON the construct
ion work of the branch road from Men
denha1l to Columbia About mile
of the road has been constructed out
from Mendenhall and the contract has
been let for other work along the
route. The work has been done under
many difficulties owing to the frequent
rains, but it is believed the road will
be completed some time during the
summer or in the fall and will be
able to handle much of the cotton
crop next fall and winter. 1t will
run through fine timber country and
doubtless fifty or seventy-five saw
mills will be established along the
line as soon as the line is definitely
established. That section of country
will be developed like other sections
haying railroads and capital will flow
into it when there will be great rejoic-
ing among the people--that is as soon
as they become used to the trains.

Alabama is getting little uneasy
about its railroad commission already.
Some Of the papers are predicting that
if the commissioners are not prudently
selected and men selected who are
b oad-guaged in mind and have the
best interests of the state at heart,
at the same time will not try TO injure
the roads through selfish or some
other motives, it will be the means
of stopping railroad construction in
the state to certain extent That
is just exactly what the people of
this state thought would be the
natural result when the railroad COM
mission law was enacted, but on the
contrary since that time we have had
a greater number of miles of road
constructed than ever before and the
railroad companies do not csre any
more for the presence of the commits
sion than an OK does for the sitting
Of gnat on his horns. 1t may be that
the men selected were not demagouges
and had sense enough aud pride
enough to do business in business
way or it may be that the roads treat
them SO awfully nice that they cannot
have the conscious to do anything
except the square act towards them.
At any rate the commissioners and the
railroads have not fallen out yet and
everything is working very smoothly
and the goose hangs high" and more
roads are being constructed than here.

The suggestion of Hon. e. F. Noe

The suggestion of Hon. e. F. Noel
for the arrangement of joint discus
sion Of the local political issues of
the different candidates for governor
does not seem to take we'll with the
other candidates and it is very likely
the cnavass will be continued as it
began. There is one drawback to the
proposition made by the gentleman
and that is that it would consume the
greater part of day for all the can
didates to make their speeches and it
would be impossible to hold an audi
ence that long. Hence the last
speaker would have no one to hear:
