The careful and painstaking work
Of the gentlemen engaged by the
board OF supervisors tn purge the
registration books and prepare a
list of qualified electors of Hiuds
county, has been completed and
shows that about 2,246 of the fifty
or more thousand citizens of the
county were properly registered
on or before the 7th day of Sep
tember, 1902, and entitled to sign
the local option election petition,
the presentation of which called
for the preparation of the list.
But ii is not of the merits of the
petition the Clarion Ledger takes
occasion to say a word, nor of the
action of the board in not calling
the election. Both have been pass
ed on in regular way. and are mat
tiers Of history about which there
is nothing unpleasant or unsavory,
except as one was allied.
To begin with, the registration
and poll books of a county are
more loosely kept, and conveys a
more uncertain idea of the real
situation as it applies to voters,
than any other set of books kept
by county or State. While in the
care of the circuit clerk, who is
supposed to be the only person
authorized so touch them with pen
or pencil, they appear to be public
property, being called into use
whenever there is contest of any
character before the board of su-
pervisors requiring their presence.
or whenever a primary of any kind
is held-during which time they
are defaced, mutilated and render
ed unintelligible. and returned to
the clerk in that condition.
Again, as the registration books
and assessment r. lis. as applied to
the suffrage question, are so close
ly allied, the assessor should have
mind for the welfare of the
State, beyond the mere desire to
do his duty, and assess every man
liable.
For instance, Andrew jackson
Smith registers at Liberty Grove
A few months later poorly equip
ped sub assessor in the same pre-
cinct meets, and assesses him AS
Andrew Smith. The next year
still another Jealous deputy ASSESS
es him in Pearl As jackson Smith.
and the next year he gets on the
books of Taylor's store, may be. as
Andy Smith. About this time he
changes his residence to Jackson
and becomes voter-but the diff
Guilty of tracing his tax-paying re-
ceipt is apparent; as the person
hunting it must find out the tran
STORY character of the man, be ia
miliar with the numerous nick
names by which he is called and
then, after searching through half
dozen precincts. try and reconcile
the difference between his name as
subscribed on the registration book
and as it or they appear on the
other books.
1t is thus practically impossible
to prepare a correct list of the
qualified electors of any county,
and this condition will remain un-
changed until the tax receipt be-
comes in fact the ''open sesame"
to the ballot box. Such a thing is
perhaps repugnant to many in
telligent American citizens. and
will continue SD, but just the same
the law as it now stands makes the
tax receipt an important factor,
and we might as well go the full
step and make it the registration
paper-that is, unless something
better is to be had.-Jackson Clar-
ion. Ledger.

county. Good round prices are
paid.-Starkville Times.

The Shreveport Times remarks
that Senator McLaurin was not as
strenuous about the Indianola

strenuousness and use reason in
his speech. which he did to con-
