Te Name New Election Commits
sioners.

The board Of election commission
ers. composed OF the governor, sec
rotary of state and attorney general,
IS expected to hold q meeting within
the nextmonth for the purpose OF Sc
Letting new commissioners for each
county ia the State.
Applications for commissionershipS
have been pouring in at the secretary
of states Office at q lively rate for
several days In many instances the
applications are accompanied by en-
dorsements from the county execu-
tive committees.
In former years it has been Gus
tomray to name two Democrats and
one Republican or one Populist on
each county committee but as the
Populist party has passed out Of cx-
istence in Mississippi the minority
appointment win probably go to a
Republican in each county, unless
the Sociists demand recognition. The
Socialist party perfected q State or
ganization two years ago, but it has
not enjoyed very Gathering growth.
The commissioners hold for pc
riod OF two years, and they must be
named prior to September 4 in order
to make the necessary arrangements
for tie November election. Missis-

Some considerable benefit has ac-
rued to the inmates of the Old Con-
federate Veterans Homo at Bcauvoir
owing to the publicity precipated
by the now famous 'Mississippian
letter. At the meeting OF the Board
of directors held Monday at which
Gov. Vardaman was present, all the
old soldiers that desired to do so
were given an opportunity to make
any complaints they desired as to
treatment. They were told to at all
times make known their wants to
the management and If not needed by
them to write headquarters. Tween
ty or more were in front of the Office
when the Investigation began, and
several addressed the Governor, sta
ting that they were not sufficiently
supplied with postage stamps and
asking for a division of the contri-
button box. This sustains our posi-
ton taken in another article this
issue. That good will come out Of the
noise made over the matter though
no real evils OF consequence existed,
and that nobody would be hurt if all
had been well.

VIRGIN PINE LANDS
Assessed at Twenty Dollars per Acre

PoplarviIe Free Press.
The board OF supervisors OF Pearl
River county is still engaged in re-
viewing the assessment roll, which is
o tedious job. The maximum assess
ed value placed on virgin pine timber
land was $1,000 per acre, and other
classes of lands were assessed at va
rious figures according to their value
Only review to the work win reveal
whether or rot the board has placed
all propertg Iran equal basis. This
is what the resident property owners
demanded, and what the board prom
ised them, but some of the non resi-
dent owners who were present with
their local agents may have defeated
the purpose OF the board in some re-
spects by getting some of their yir-
gin tracts classcd too low There is
one duty a supervisor owes to his
constituents and that is to acquaint
himself thoroughly with all lands in
his district.
