To the Public.

l beg leave to call your attention to
the fact that the Land Roll is now COM

Clerk so that copies can be made one
each for the Auditor and Sheriff. This
assessment will be in operation for four
years. have endeavored to have it as
correct as possible, but I regret to say !
fear it has many errors in spite Of all
precaution. This has been occasioned
Tor the most part by the neglect Of land
owners, many of whom have given in
their lands incorrectly, and many have
omitted all attention to their assess
mcnts.
All land owners are therefore special
Is requested to carefully examine their
land numbers in paying their taxes this
fall. II correct they viii have no trou-
BILE for the next three years, and if err
erroneous they ought to be corrected at
once and before taxes are paid.

Jefferson Davis Chapter, United
Daughters OF the Coufederacy, met in
special ession Wednesday, Oct. "A, and
appointed committee to draft resolu-
tions on the death OF Mrs. Jefferson
Davis.
In the death of Mrs. Varina Davis,
widow of Jefferson Davis, the first and
only President of the Confederacy, we
behold the passing of noble and dis
tinguished woman, beloved by the
South, and honored by the whole world.
Another golden link has fallen from
the rapidly shortening chain that bound
the people of the Confederacy with
their beloved leader
Whereas, The sweet spirit of the
"Widow of the Confederacy" has passed
to its reward and we have sustained a
great and irreparable loss, the memory
of her charming nature and heroic
qualities of heart shall obtain through
out the years.
Resolved, That while her death fills
us with profound sorrow and keenest
grief, we wish to express the sense Of
our regard for the noble character of
this true and loyal Southern woman.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
printed in the papers Of the city, a copy
sent to the family of the deceased and
inscribed on the minutes Of jefferson

with joy. He rusheth to his desk
and worketh in great, haste TO

chump setteth up a howl that
could be heard from the rising

late for the evening train, and
the postmaster chastizeth him
accordingly. Again, he goeth
forth in the blizzard and Wander

and suffereth much with cold
fingers while gathering pennies

The national Republican lead
ers, says the States, are really
alarmed for fear they will loose
control Of the house Of repre-
sentatives, and they have good
reason for their anxiety. They
are likely TO lose nearly dozen
members in Pennsylvania in con-
sequence Of the political break
up there. In Illinois they will
also lose several members. IL
will not be surprising if some of
the New York Republican candle
dates are defeated. 4 loss of
hftv.seven members in all win
give the control % the opposition.
Should a Republican majority be
chosen. il may not b. more than
a dozen or twenty in all. which
will be in striking contrast with
the present majority Of ia.

The Velocity Of Light.

Light moves with the amazing
velocity Of $4,000 miles a Sec
ond, a speed a million times as
great as that Of a rifle bullet. It
would make the circuit Of the
earth's circumference, at the
equator, seven times in one beat
Of the pendulum. For a long
time the light was thought TO be
instantaneous, but it is now
known to have measurable We
locity. The discovery was first
made by means Of the eclipse q
Jupiter's satellites. Jupiter, like
the earth, casts a shadow, and
when his moons pass through it
they are eclipsed, just as our
moon is eclipsed when passing
through the earth's shadow.
Jupiter's shadow far surpasses in
magnitude that of the earth. His
moon reyolves around him more
rapidly than our moon reyolves
around the earth, and their or
bits are nearly in the plane of the
planets orbit. Consequently
they all, with the exception of the
fourth and most distant satellite,
pass though the planets shadow
and are eclipsed at every revolu-
tion.-The Hesperian.

The legal proceedings taken to
determine what newspapers are
by law entitled to the printing OF
the New York election notices
throw some interesting light on
the way the metropolitan news
papers are lined up in this cam
paign. II is the claim of the
Hearst organization that the
only newspapers supporting the
Democratic ticket are the Ameri-
cans morning, evening and Ger
man editions and the News. And
the claim appears to be based on
the facts. Ii is a rather remark
able journalistic alignm ent ,

prehensible.

That Chicago Interview.

il4A NlNlNahW thhNt ~ vs.
The Herald does not believe
that the sober-thinking people Of
Mississippi will endorse the pes
simistic, lurid interview given out
by Governor Vardaman on the
race question in Chicago on
Thursday Of last week. Strangers
10 read the Governors statement
would conclude that the South
was on the verge Of one of the
bloodiest race conflicts known 10
history, when as matter OF fact
no such condition Of affairs exist,
and the Governor knows it.
That there are occasional dis
turbances between the whites
and blacks, all will admit, but
there is no pending danger such
az the Governor luridly pictures.
Such interviews can have but one
effect -and that is 10 widen the
breach between the races and
make harder the problem OF
solving it.
As uncalled for az were the
statements made by Senator j..
b. Foraker Of Ohio, in a speech
at Chattanooga, Tenn, just a
few days prior to Governor Var
daman's interview, equally so
were those Of Mlssissippi's Chief
Executive. OF the two, Gov
ernor Vardaman's IL calculated
TO do more harm, for if it leads
to anything it will be bloodshed,
while Foraker's will only have the
tendency TO make the discussion
one of sections,
The Governors appeal is one
to the prejudices Of the people,
calculated 10 incite the races
into troubles, which calmer think
ing people deplore. 1t will do
more to injure the South in the
minds of thoughtful people, those
who are seeking homes and in
vestments among us, than all the
speeches that will be delivered in
Congress for the next ten years,
for no people will want to come
into any part Of any country or
make investments there, where a
picture is presented TO them,
which, if true, means a bloody
and relentless struggle between
the races.
The Herald does not question
but what Governor Nardaman
has allowed the negro question
TO weigh upon his mind so long
and to such an extent that he be-
lieves what he says; but the
Herald also believes there are
precious few other men in the
State who are 80 disturbed. II
there were many of the Gov
errors belief there would be
thousands who would be willing
To sacrifice their properties and
move out of the country rather
than be present when the bloody
determination begun. The fact
that the very reverse is true
shows that the Governor has but
few who believe with him, and
that such interviews as his Chica-
90 stuff are not endorsed. Gov
ernor Vardaman should not be
so pessimistic. There has never
been a proposition submitted to
the white people of the South
that they did not solve, and there
will never be.

Not Build Hutton Grove School.

The school board met this morning
and transacted business of some i'm
p~ortance, particularly to the small boy
who does not want the school to be-
gin until there is nothing else In the
world that he can do in the way of
fun. The board decided that the West
Side school should open at the reg
ular time, that is on Tuesday, Septem-
Der A.. but that the East Side school
should not begin until the following
Monday morning, September 10. This
they were compelled to do, owing to
the fact that the repairs being made
to the heating plant in that building
cannot possibly be finished before that
time. This delay seems to have been
unavoidable, owing to the non-arrival
of the material necessary to complete
the work.
viii Not Build Hutton School.
The board also decided not to build
a school house at Hutton's grove for
the present, for the reason that the
people there cannot agree on a site
for the school, and any site that the
board might select would be unaccept-
able and a portion of the people would
refuse to send their children to the
building erected thereon.
