Interesting Question.

Yazoo county brings up an inter-
esting question, which has been sub
mitted to the attorney general. Sup
erlntendent of public education Lock
ard of that county, has raised the
point that his new term Of four years
begins in April instead of in January
with the rest Of the county officers.
The new constitution when drafted
was designated to make the terms Of
all county and state officers begin in
January and to continue for four
years. To accomplish this the terms
Of all state and county officers in Of
flee then were extended two years,
SO that those in office at that time
held for six years. At the time most
OF the county superintendent were
appointed by the board Of education,
but IN 1896 most of the county super
intendents were made elective by the
people, except in few counties. The
terms of those appointed begins in
April. Superintendent Lockard was
one Of the superintendent elected I'M
der this law. Attorney General
Williams holds that Mr.. Lockard s
term begins In April. The decision
will affect quite a number Of county
superintendent.
