There Is whole lot Of gospel truth
IN the following excerpt from one Of
our valued exchanges: zone Of the
greatest needs in legislation is law
that Will cause the burden of taxation
to fall on all alike, in proportion to the
wealth they possess-a law that will
prevent the wealthy evading taxation,
which IS done nmany instances. There
are number of ways for men with
money to dodge the assessor and there
IS no way to touch them as the Law
now stands, but the poor man who has
little personal property and some
rea! estate, isforced to give in every
thing he possesses and at about actu-
al value. There should be way to
force every person (who is too dis
honest, without being forced) to give
IN all his possessions. 1t is an un-
pleasant fact that, the men in ordina-
ry circumstance are the men who are
furnishing the necessary funds to car
ry on the government. The man in
affluent circumstances, with real es-
tate, stocks, bonds, mortgages, ETC..
has every means Of evading payment
on the same, but the man Of ordinary
circumstances has to put in every
thing at something like actual value.
1t is weak point that should be rem
edied.

The period of exchange ON school
books has been made to run two years
from date of signing contract which
will be about July 1st to 10th. The
book concerns protested against this
clause In their contract but were COM
PEELED to accept it. So this gives the
people of the state ample time in
which to make the exchanges. Remem-
Der this and do not be imposed upon
if the privilege is denied you. It is
intimated that possibly in each old
book offered for exchange, attesting
that the book was used by the child
offering it in the public schools during
The preceding year. There is no le-
gality in such a demand and the peo-
pie are again warned against such an
act as this. Remember these matters
and if exchange is refused you on eth
er ground, write the editor of this de-
partment who will take pleasure in
having the wrong corrected.

Reports from over the state cast a
very gloomy view on the cotton sit
uatlon and the prospects for anything
like an average crop seems to have
gone glimmering. However, the in
dications of a crop and the total
amount received for two-thirds will
likely be as much as if full crop
had been made and gathered. Mis-
sissippi is not by herself in the bad
outlook and the government reports
show that adverse conditions prevail
throughout the entire cotton produc-
ing region.

summarizes crop conditions as fol-
lows:
While the Atlantic coast districts ex.

heavy rains proved detrimental in the
west gulf states, the weather condi-
tons during November, 1905, generally
were favorable for farming operations
in nearly all districts, being excep-
tionally so in the central valleys. The
long continued drouth in California
was relieved by generous rains near
the close of the month, while a heavy
fall of snow occurred throughout the
northern Rocky mountain regions and
thence eastward to the upper lakes.
