IN the election of Esquire
D. w. McAnulty, of Hicko~
ry Valley, as Chairman of
the county court, no mistake
was made. He has been a
member of that body for a
number of years, is fitted in
every way to fill the place,
and is one of the most COM
petent business men in Har-
deman County. Dave Nc
Annuity belongs to that
school of honest, self sacrific-
ing men who will guard more
closely public trusts COM
mitted to his charge than he
would his own individual in
terests. The interests of the
county we feel sure are per-
fectly safe in his hands. His
strongest opponent, and a
close second, was Esquire w.
III. Tate, of Toone, who re-
ceived a vote of which he
should be proud.

Permanent System of Revenue Laws.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, January l.
Comptroller Kings biennial report
showing in detail the sources of
Tennessee's income, was made pub
lie today. Among other things the
comptroller recommends that the
law creating the state board of
equalization be amended as to place
that duty on the railroad commits
sioners. The secretary of state, the
comptroller and treasurer, he says,
haven't time to do the work. He
also recommends that the board
of equalizers be made up of chair
man or county judge, county court
clerks and trustee. One tax asses
sor for each county instea d of one
for each civil district in counties of
less than $4,000 population is also
recommended. The comptroller al
so says, under the head of taxes and
taxation: zone of the greatest OBJ
stacles to the proper enforcement Of
the tax laws is the constant enact
ment of new revenue and assess
ment laws by each succeeding legis-
lature, resulting in want of famil-
iarity with the same by the people
and the various county officials who
have TO deal with. the same. The
present revenue and assessment bills
are the best the state ever had and
they should only be amended in
such a manner as time and expert
ence render it absolutely necessary,
thus saving to the officials and to
the people much confusion and ex-
Lensive litigation in calling on the
Supreme Court for the construction
of statutes, of which in the past
have lasted only two years or until
supplemented by successor. What
the state needs is a permanent sys'
tenn of revenue laws, which are read
lily oomprehended by all parties
concerned. l recommend that the
assessment laws be so amended that
the assessment of all corporations
be made by one board, thereby Sc
curing a uniform basis of their val
uation."

INDIANOLA, Miss, has had
a negress postmaster for the
past six years. A number of
the white citizens of the town
recently demanded her resig-
nation, solely on account Of
her color. 1t was promptly
forthcoming. The matter
was brought to the attention
of the authorities at Washing
ton, and it was deemed of
sufficient. Importance to as
semble the cabinet to con-
slider it. The result of the
cabinet meeting was the re-
fusal Of the department to
accept her resignation and
the adjustment of the office,
until the patrons thereof con-
sent to allow her to serve.
The people of that communi-
ty are late in making their
protest, but better late than
never. No negro should be
appointed to Office in COM

live.

Recommendations of State Superin-
tendent Fitzpatrick.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Dec. 26.-The
annual report of Morgan @. Fitz-
patrick, State superintendent of
schools, has been completed for sub
mission to the governsr and the
legislature. Superintendent Fitz-
patrick makes a number of recon
mendations looking to the improve
ment of the public school system,
and advocates the increase of the
school tax. His recommendations
embrace the following:
/. The school district and the
civil district should, by act of the
Legislature, be made co-extensive In
every county, and al! acts creating
special school districts be repealed.
2. School directors should be
elected in each county at the same
time, in May or August.
8. Scholastic enumeration of
children should be taken il May in
stead of July, because of the alb
sence of families and children dur
ing the summer vacation.
4. The school age limit should
be placed at Is years instead 81,
because the present limit makes
school statutes misleading, most
children leaving school before they
are Is.
5. The State superintendent
should prepare aud have printed,
for the use of the schools of the
State, a course of study and grad
ing, so as to preserve uniformity
throughout the State.
6. The county superintendent
should be given authority TO super
wise and pass upon the expenditures
of district directors in order to pre-
vent extravagances in the purchase
| OF scnOOl supplies.
Z. The salary of the county SUI
perintendents should be commensu-
ate with the duties they are called
upon to perform. In some counties
they receive only 500 per year.
8. The State superintendent
should be empowered by law &c
force county superintendent to send
in reports at required periods.
9. Better methods for the exam

States property at this place
is in a good state of preserva-
ton.
The general health of the
Hospital has been fairly good
the last term, though our
mortuary report shows a larg-
er mortality. By reference
to the cause it will be seen
that the great majority of
the deaths were from the
incurable class, senile de-
cay claiming many OF
them, while that dread
malady with which all Hos
pitfalls are afflicted, consump-
ton, comes in for her full
quota. Many of our deaths
were from the recently admit
ted, only living for a very
few days. This is all wrong,
and while it does not entail
any very great expense to
the Hospital, it is an unnec-
essary expense upon the
county from which they are
sent. There is something
radically wrong in these pro-
ceedings. The cause has its
origin either with the courts,
the attending physician OIL
with the family and friends
of the unfortunate individual
who is dumped upon the
Hospital to die. This pro-
cedure is not only wrong pei
Sc, but it thwarts the very
objects for which these sta
tistics were intended.
I am forced again to cal
your attention to the deplor
able condition of the roaC
from Pleasant Run bridge
the terminus of the Hospita
road, to Bolivar, a distance o
about two and One-third miles
For at least a third of tn,
year it is practically impossi
BILE to haul a. load over thi
roau, having to double team
much of the time to get owe
it at all. There is no way o
getting our freight except b,
this route, and it requires
double the team that shoul(
be necessary. The item o
coal that [ have mentioned
in former reports is getting
to be a serious problem
Think of having to hau
3, 600 tons of coal over sucl
a road! 1t is a shame. AL
other charitable institution
in Tennessee have nice mac
adamized roads running tt
them, and even many of tn
county poor houses have thu
same, and here by far thu
largest institution in the STATE
has to be reached through
the mud and slush. | would
urge upon each one of yol
to use your influence in tn
legislature and try to devils,
some plan by which we ma,
be relieved of such a state o
affairs. AS [ have suggested
in a former report a spu
track from the [. G.. r. r
