A MisapprehensiOn.

There seems to be misappre-
hension among our readers regard
ing the secretaryship Financial a.
gency) of Alcorn College When
the Reveille published the names
of the new trustees, those appoint
ed by Gov. Vardaman, it was stat
ed that Hon. J. G. Spencer had
been appointed to succeed Mr.. c.
A. Gordon. This seems to have
conveyed the impression that not
only had Mr.. Spencer been appoint
ed trustee but also secretary of the
school. The secretary is elected
by the board of trustees, the COVER
nor having no authority to appoint.
As the matter now stands, the
school has had no financial agent,
or secretary, since the expiration
of Mr.. Gordon's term as trustee.
Mr.. Spencer asks that this ex-
PLANTATION be made in order to cor
rect the impression, unintentionally
conveyed by the recent publication,
that he is in any way pecuniarily
benefited by having been appoint
ed to the Office of trustee.

Telephone Troubles.

Chancellor Robert Magee, of this
district, has filed with the Railroad
Commission a bill of complaint
against the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph Company. The bill
sets forth that up to the beginning
of 1899, the Cumberland Company
had a long-distance telephone in the
town of Hazlehurst, while there
was local system in Hazlehurst
reaching Jackson, McComb City,
Port Gibson, Utica and other points
outside of the county. and a local
system reaching all over the coun-
ty, among other places to Browns $
Wells. The cumbeland Company
bought out the local system and
broke it up. The complaint sets
forth that the Cumberland has al
lowed the line to Browns Wells to
get in very bad repair, allowing it
to remain that way for weeks, but
continuing all the while to collect
tolls. When a subscriber threatens
to make a complaint the telephone
company in turn threatens to cut
out the line if they complain. The

Illinois Central Railroad,

There is a growing disposition
among the people to prey upon rail.
roads that should be discouraged
and as far as practicable stopped.
All seem inclined to look upon them
as lawful prize in their zeal and
haste to fly into courts to recover
damages against them for real or
imaginary injuries They lose
sight of the immense benefits rail
roads have been and are now to the
country. The Illinois Central Rail-
road has especially been of the
greatest benefit to Mississippi.
Through its agency, gratuitously
bestowed, thousands upon thou
sands of citizens have been induced
to come from other states and cast
their fortunes with us. The stand
ard of this citizenship has been of a
high order. They have brought
thousands and thousands of dollars.
which have been invested in lands
and permanent homes, have helped
to open up and bring into cultiva-
tion the waste places, invested large
sums i'll cotton factories, oil mills,
congresses, large lumber establish
ments, railroads, stave. wagon, fur
niture and handle factories and va
rious other industries too numerous
to name in this short article, by
means of which the resources of the
State have been developed and mil
lions of money added to the wealth
of the country. Aside from this
view, cast your eyes to our wonder
full delta. By what agency has this
country been opened up and its
amazing fertility and exhaustless
resources brought to public view
and opened to settlement. All
know that it is the /. c. Railroad
that has done the work. But for
the enterprise in building its net
work of lines through it, nine
tenths of that territory would now
be in cane and forest, where now
you see splendid plantations, -four
ishing towns, villages and cities,
and factories and industries abound
ing over its entire surface. But, it
IS said: '"Tliis was all deve for
its own private profit and benefit. ;"
Grant it. Yet, still, all the bene-
fits enumerated are the fruits of
their enterprise, which makes them,
nevertheless, public benefactor.
This institution has also contrib
uted thousands of dollars in chari-
ties to our people, which we have
not space to enumerate. We will
call one very recent instance to your
mind. But a few days ago the
beautiful town of Yazoo City was
swept away by fire. 1t is necessary
to rebuild. This road has most
generously offered to transport over
its lines all necessary building ma
terial at half rates, thus saving to
that stricken city thousands of dol
lars. Let our people remember
these benefits and cease their too
often unjust demands against the
railroad. If you are really injured
by the carelessness of the roads and
are, in fact, injured, bring suits for
sums adequate to the damages sus-
tanned but don't sue for FIVE, ten,
twenty and twenty-five thousand
dollars when you are injured to the
extent only of a few dollars. Don't
play a grab game only because you
hope to gain it. 1t is morally as
wrong to take what you are not
entitled to from a railroad as from
an individual.-Charleston miss. }

HOW THE TAX LAW WILL
WORK.

The new tax law takes oft eleven
cents of state taxes next year, and
commands, and enforces the command
by a bond in the sum of $4,000 that
the farmers land shall be assessed At
1.-THE true and actual value thereof
tn At is to say, at the price for which
such .prot erty would sell ii voluntar.
| lily offered for sale by the owner there
Of"
Let us see how this will work. A
farmer owning 100 acres of ordinary
land finds it assessed now at ten dol
lars an acre, or, ST 900 for the tract.
The total taxes outside the city aver
ages SI.S5 on the $500, therefore his
total taxes are SIS. so on the farm.
The new tax commissioner who is
compelled to assess the land lat the
price at which such property would
sell if voluntarily offered for sale, as
sesses it at S., coo, "the price at which
such land would sell if voluntarily of
fered for sale" This is not an extra
VACANT price, and there are not, many
farms whose owners would voluntar
lily part with them Tor less than
thirty dollars an acre. When this as
essment is completed the state will
take of eleven cents OF ity levy, leav-
ing the total levy 81 "a on the SI.oo
The assessment having been in
creased three fold the farmer will have
to pay three times STA instead Of
only SSS5.
ftAni the result is that the land
owner pays $50 10 instead of SIS. 50
Now the farmer, or any other person,
who can figure out the benefits to
property owners mayhave the stage.
