MAKING POLITICAL
CAPITAL

The enemies and opposers OF the
Governor are trying to make the citl-
zens OF the State believe that Gov
ernor Nardaman removed Chancellor
FaIton for political reasons, when
deep down in their own hearts they
know it to be untrue-if they knew
him, the Governor, when they state
it.
Up to this late day, in his able adj
ninistration of the States AFFAIRS
this is the first act of his that his
opposers thought they could make
political capital of, and we think,
when the light is thrown on, they
will see that he will show them by
the facts that he was right and the
people will endorse his action.
The truth is, if the Governor had
wanted to make political capital out
Of this matter he would have opposed
the removal of Chancellor Fulton,
who is the brother-in-law OF Con-
gress man Williams, and IN that way
won over many of the alumni who
are now demanding his reinstatement
and charging the Governor falsely
But, thank God, Mississippi has a
Governor whose fearlessness, hon
esty and ability has won for him the
heard, as we have, and no doubt the
reader of this article has, the runb-
lings of discomfort over the present
management of the University, and
we believe the Governor and the
Board of Trustees have fully looked
into the matter and placed, as they
thought. the responsibility before
any resignation was asked.
Only a few weeks ago we hearc
one OF the most prominent Judges II

OVERLOOKED A
FINE OPPORTUNITY

Governor Vardaman speaking of
the Tilman- Roosevelt matter, said:
Il regret that they Gilman and
Bailey overlooked the finest oppoT-
tunity of the decade to read the pres
ident good, old fashioned Demo
cratic lesson. If, when they were
called In consultation, they had said,
We will be glad to advise with you
concerning any matter pertaining TO
your Office as chief executive or TO
aid you in our power in the perform
ance OF your official duties, but we
decline absolutely to discuss with
you all legislative matters they
would have rebuked, and justly, a
growing tendency on the part OF ex-
ecutive officials to encroach upon the
franchises and powers OF leglsla
tive officials"
Which caused the Memphis Com
mercial Appeal to make the following
remark:

PROSPERITY

That there is extraordinary pros
perity in this country IS proven by
figures furnished by Dunn's CONNER
cial agency.
The average selling price OF pro-
ducts has gone up perhaps IS per
cent in the last decade
The cost OF living has gone up
even above the high prices of year
ago.
There is a superstition that lnven-
tons and improvements IN machIn-
cry and increased facilities for trans
portation bring a constant decline in
prices.
But the fact IS that prices gener-
ally are higher today than they have
been at any other time in the last
IS years
This is fine showing of prosperity

LEGISLATURE TO
PROVIDE CONST1TU-
TIONAL CONVENTION

The convention OF the county SUI
pervisors of the State met at Hat
tiesburg last Monday to discuss the
equalization of school funds and
taxes, the Improvement of our public
roads and other questions important
to the whole State The meeting
was we'll attended and a discussion OF
the questions before the body were
engaged in by prominent citizens
from different parts of the State.
HATTIESBURG, Miss, June 20.
Following is the resolution adopt
ed by the convention of supervisors
before its adjournemtn:
''Whereas, it has been made apper-
ent and manifest by statistics taken
from the official record OF the State
that some of the counties, particular
" those in the certain sections, are.
under the present constitutional pro-
vision, made to bear grossly un-
equal proportion and share of the
burden of State taxation, receiving
therefrom an inadequate and unjust
return. and are compelled to SO pay
said taxes and suffer said discrimin-
alton as to the return thereof without
adequate representation in the legls-
| !ature of the State and in the making
Of laws; and,
"Whereas, Some relief from this
condition of affairs must be had.
Resolved. That it is the sense OF
this convention, that the legislature,
| 1T its first session, should provide
| for a constitutional convention to re-
wise and amend the present State
constitution SO as to provide Tor an
equalization of assessments and an
q,litable and fair distribution of the
public school funds, with the ex-
press understanding that no charge
shall be made in the chapter on fran
,hises except so far as relates to au-
| oortionment, and in the meantime we
| 'avor an effort on the part of the
several respective boards Of super
visors to effect such equalization OF
| taxation in their respective counties
| assessments as gong IN, SO as to
I correspond to the assessment in
mother parts Of the State upon pro-
oerty of like proportionate value.
| Resolved, That this convention
desires and seeks justice for ever,
section of the State. We believe the
State are entz .fhvI,hc etaoishrdl,
white people of the State are eh
titled to the same representation a:
the white people Of every other part
We believe that property in one sec
ton of the State should be assessed
on the same basis of value as tn
property OF every other section. w
believe that every white child in TIL
State should have the same educa
tional advantages to be derived from

THE FINEST SIDEWALKS

Greenville has the finest system OF

would be very unwilling to say a
word to detract from the glory OF
Greenville's sidewalks That enter
prising city deserves all the praise it
IS receiving on this accout, and more.
for one circumstance in this connec-
ton appears to have been overlooked
1t is this The Greenville sidewalks
and paved streets were an absolute
necessity. A man unacquainted with
the depth and stickyness of Delta
mud can have but little idea of the
reality. Greenville simply had to have
paved streets and sidewalks, or &c
