Elsewhere we publish card from Hon.
w. d. Anderson III which he states
that he will not be a candidate for re-
election to the office of mayor of the
city of Tupelo and gives his reason for
retiring at the end of the present term.
Mr.. Anderson has held the office for the
past two terms when it was his desire
to leave it but held on at the earnest
solicitation of friends and business men
of the city who recognize his ability
and felt that the city needed his SER
vices during the installation of the
public utilities which are now installed
and in splendid working order. The
work devolving upon the mayor. and
the many intricate questions of law
arising in the making of contracts and
the issuance and sale of the bonds nee
essary to secure the funds required by
the city, has been an ardueus and del
lcate task which Mr. Anderson has per-
formed with rare patience, energy and
ability. Since his entrance into the
mayors office in 1898, Tupelo has de-
velOped from a town Of less than 1000
people into a wideawake, up-to-date
little city with all the modern utilities
and conveniences found in places of
much greater size. In the develope-
ment Of the city Mr.. Anderson has
taken leading part and no man in
the place has rendered greater service
without adequate compensation than he
In retiring he carries with him the
thanks of the citizens generally for
his untiring efforts to give the people
a pleasant town in which to live and a
good government as free from vices
as lay in his power.

New York, Jan. 28.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt will receive an immense
fortune In wedding presents.
Every nation on the globe will

to the presidents daughter, and
it is safe to say that no royal
princess ever received greater

than those which will be showered

The gifts of the French nation

is what Secretary Houck has done,
however, and what all those who
have observed his course admit he
has done with great, tact and ad-

Througout this trying time,
Secretary Houck has shown quail

and statecraft that will have a
lasting influence toward popula, :

BIG GAS CASE.

The suit of the Great Southern
Gas and Oil Company against the
Logan Natural Gas Company,
which has been in the United
States Court for some time, was
up for rehearing in Columbus last
Friday, but the defendants were
not prepared for trial and were
granted continuance.
The suit grows out of the puls
chase by the Logan company of a
number Of gas leases held by the
Ewing Gas & Oil Company, near
Rockbridge.
Judge Reeves and NJ. A. Daugh-
erty of this city appeared for the
Logan Company and Messrs. Geo.
Trimble, George Ewing, c. NJ.
Rowlee, Harry Anderson, John
Hoffman and S. NJ. Ruffner, of
this city, appeared as witnesses.
Only direct testimony was heard
and the defendants were granted
leave to recall witnesses for cross

commendation of the Emergency
Board at 6 per cent, or in New

"The various associations of
county officers are made up in the
main of perjured grafters, whose
object is to rob the public. The
law giving County Auditors a per
cent of school funds for placing
them on the tax duplicate is an
example. The State Bureau of
Uniform Accounting is a graft
machine for the purpose of secur-
ing third-term delegations, etc."
Mr.. Myers devoted little time to
the local investigation, but said
that partisanship fostered graft,
and that graft existed in every
office, from Road Supervisor up,

with the reform movement that
had already been started, and not

personal knowledge may appre-
ciate.
Indeed, the extent to which
Secretary Houck has been the per-
sonal representative of the COVER
nor probably is not understood by
the great majority Of his political
friends and party leaders. Few,
not more than half dozen, let
ters of any nature have been SUBJ
mitted by him to the governor.
This was because it was desired to
relieve the governor from all an
noyance, and, so far as might be
possible, from the feeling of re-
sponsibillty for the details of the
administration.
Those persons who have seen
Secretary Houck cheerful, smil-
ing, optimistic, radiating good
fellowship as he talked. little
knew that it was with the close of
Office hours his real work began.
Two stenographers have been
called to his assistance. The an

gins when the doors of the execu-
tive chamber are locked at A p. m.
Not infrequently Secretary Houck
has been deep in his work when
midnight came, only to hasten to
the office. fresh and smiling, early
the next morning.
Added to the ordinary exactions
of the Office of governor is the
time -honored duty of delivering
addresses upon variety of public
occasions. These addresses run
all the way from simple greeting
of welcome, to more formal ora
tory. 1t has happened, in the
present instance, that the season
during which large number o.
state organizations hold conven
tions has coincided with the peri
cd of Governor Pattison's Illness
and absence from the Office. Up
on all such occasions he has beer
represented by Secretary Houck
how ably is best known by thos'
who have had the pleasure of list
ening to his words of eloquence.
