HON. j. C. BURRUS FOR SHERIFF.

The Hon. J. c. Burrus formally
announces his candidacy for sheriff
of Bolivar county this week. Mr..
Burrus is known, perhaps, by
every voter i'll the county, having
represented Bolivar county in the
Legislature with honor both to
himself and to his constituents.
He is a planter, an Old Conteder-
ate, one of the county's earliest
settlers, and true man in every
respect. Should he be elected there
is no doubt that he would serve
the people fearlessly, honestly and
efficiently.
His service to Bolivar county
and to the state in the Legislature
has shown his devotion to their in
terests, and his life work here in
their midst has proven his worth
as man and citizen. He will
have a strong following in the
coming campaign.

WORK DISCONTINUED.
Both Y. g. NJ. v. and Southern DisCon-
tinue Work on Roads in This County.

Report comes from the territory
most vitality interested that the con-
struction work on the lines of the
Y. and NJ. V. and the Southern
railroads, both of which are build
ing branch lines in this county,
has been abandoned. The Y. &
M. V. branch was designed to run
from Wilzinski, in Washington
county to an intersection with the
Kimball lake division at Arnold,
while the Southern was building
from Elizabeth, in Washington
county, up the Bogue with its final
destination not known. Both pen
citrate what is perhaps the richest
section of the entire delta,
both in soil wealth and timber, ,and
the fact that the much needed rail-
road was in sight, has been Won
derful tonic to values of all kind
in that section, with the result that
land prices have scared higher, and
men were 10th to sell their belong
ing at any price.
AS previously stated the section
traversed by both of these branches
is fertile beyond comparison and its
timbered interests are of great val
tie. A railroad is needed to quick
ly develop the section; and the
prospect of getting two meant a
double blessing to the territory.
Now that the work has been sus-
pendid, and its possible early re-
sumption wrapped in mystery
and uncertainty of roailroad reti-
cence, the people of the territory
are specializing as to what the fu-
ture of roads will be.
While we are no nearer the supply
of needed information than those
living in the territory, we are certain
that neither company is indulging
in fit of child's play concerning
the building of the lines. Other,
and what both deem more import
ant work has probably engaged
their attention and the force en-
ployed on these lines have been
needed elsewhere. Neither road
has a territory offering greater III
ducement and more permanent and
lucrative business than in this
county covered by these lines, and
the work will be resumed at the
earliest date possible. We under
stand that the Valley branch is two
miles nearer Kuhn than the South
ern.-Cleveland Enterprise.

HON. CHAS. SCOTT.

Hon. Chas. Scott OF Rosedale,
Miss, candidate for governor, was
in Ouitman Wednesday, the guest
of Hon, B. H. Donald. Mr.. Scott
was introduced by Mr.. Donald to
nearly all the business men OF QUIT
man. and he left good impression
with them all.
Mr.. Scott is one the most pros
porous farmers in the state ana
owns several farms in the delta
country. He has long been con-
nected with the levying work along
the Mississippi river and has been
greatly instrumental in pushing
certain movements of this work by
making trips to Washington and
securing the aid of congress.
Mr.. Scott enters the racefor gov
ernor with the expectation of win
ming over all opposition simply up
ON his merits as man, claiming
to hayea thorough knowledge OF
the conditions of the state, and be-
lieving that he is in position to
serve the people better in this ca
pacity than anyone else.
Mr.. Scott's character both pub
licly and priv ately is irrsproach-
able and his following throughout
the state is so great that all oppo-
sition will culver though it be not
defeated .-Quitnan Globe.

LAND ASSESSMENT ROLL.
The List Shows a Total Valuation Of ST.
668,0i6, for the First District.

Messrs. D. ]. Allen, Jr., and w.
G.. Hardee, who have prepared the
land assessment rolls OF Bolivar
county for w. J. Wooten, tax as
SCISSOR, have filed the rolls for both
districts with the clerk of the chan
cery court. These gentlemen have
been busily engaged in the prepa
ration of the rolls constantly since
the 1st of February, and their
work is a credit to themselves and
a boon to the tax payers and the
tax collector. 1t has long been a
source of complaint that the land
assessment rolls have contained
numerous erroneous assessments
and a great deal of land has es-
capped taxation altogether, causing
much annoyance to the tax collec-
tor and the public. The rolls for
the present year are gotten up Ill a
very meet, systematic and business
like manner, and all erroneous as
sessments have been eliminated, as
Messrs. Hardee and Allen were
very careful to assess all lands to
the real owners. BY their system
of checking and re-checking, these
gentlemen state that it is impossi-
bic to have committed single er-
ror.
The roll for the first district
show; 121,7 ,754 acres of cleared land,
224,135 acres of woodland, and a
total valuation of real property OF
81 ,68S, ,Ol6,O0, the valuation being
based upon the uniform rate of ten
dollars per acre on cleared land
two dollars per acre on woodland
and fifty cents per acre on lands
lying outside of the levee. Mr..
Wooten is to be congratulated up
on the excellence and merit of the
work, and the young gentlemen
who prepared the roll are to be
complimented upon the thorough
ness of their work.

R0SEDALE CLUBS WIN.
RoSedale Makes Il Five Straight From Friars
Point---The Juniors Winning One.

The Rosedale Junior Baseball
Club, undefeated champions of the
Delta, went up to Friars Point last
Monday for a game with the boys
of that town. The result of the
game is the same old story, told
i'll the same old way-the Friars
Point boys were simply out class
ed, and, at that, they have moth
ing to be ashamed of, for it is a
generally recognized fact that the
Rosedale juniors are in class by
themselves. The score was 8 to l,
and Friars Point did not get the
one until the ninth inning This
club plays as good ball away from
home as it does at home, and is
simply invincible. Walter Sillers,
Jr., star pitcher for the first nine,
went with the boys and acted as
manager.

A COMPLICATED TANGLE.

such a complicated tangie of tariffs
under which they have been
plundering the public, that
they have requested of the In

pare rate schedules for publication
under the new law. AS the ex-

pealing to the Commison.

Secretary Taft's idea seems to
be, that the Southern Republicans
are bad lot fig hting for spoils, but
still the Democrats of the South
should vote the Republican ticket.
The Republicans will have to offer
greater inducement than chance
for the Democrats TO reform the
Republican party in the Southern
States, or it will be long time be-
fore they accept Taft's advice.

The Rosedale Baseball Club has
made a good record this week.
Four straight games from the
strong Friars Point Club is some
thing to be proud of. Two were
won in Rosedale and two in Friars
Point.
Tuesday the crack Friars Point
team came to Rosedale for two
games, playing Tuesday and We'd
nesday. In the first game Sillers,
for Rosedale, was opposed on the
slab by the lengthy lad with fhe
cannon ball speed, Alvin johnson,
but the Rosedale team won by a
score of s to l. Our boys went
right after the Friars Point pitcher
in the first inning and made the six
runs right at the jump. Errors
were responsible for most of the
runs, for only four hits were made
off of Johnson during the game;
and after the first inning it seemed
about three miles around the bases.
1t was much further than that for
the Friars Point boys, however, tor
they only made one run III the nine
innings. Sillers pitched a splen-
did game, only allowing four scat
tered hits, and was ably supported
by Charley Allen, catcher, and the
entire Rosedale team. After the
Rosedale team had made six runs
in the first inning it was a clnch
that Rosedale would WIN, for 1t
certainly is a hard job for any
amateur club to make more than
six scores off our club.

The game Wednesday was closer
and more exciting, the score being
6 to S in favor of Rosedale. Er-
rors. sandwitched in with hits,
built up the score. Both Wynn,
for Rosedale, and and Johnson, tor
Friars Point, pitched good ball.
The closeness of the store gave the
Rosedale rooters a chance to root
and this they did to Queen S
taste. Along about the ninth
inning Arkansas City called up by
telephone and asked us to make less
noise, as there was sick man down
there. The Arkansas City people,
however, when they learned the
score of the two games, forgot the
sick man and hollered SO loud tor
us that Greenville thought that
there was cyclone coming, and
all the people left their homes and
lined up alongside of the levee.
Batteries in this game: Rose
dale, Wynn and Allen; Friars
Point, Johnson and Johnston.
