Scored the Magistrates.

District Attorney Currie in the cir
cult court at Meridian scored the JUS
tices of the peace for what he termed
their failure to do their duty, and stated
that they appeared to hold Office as an
apology, fearing u drive away tho
friends who elected them or OF more
seriously offending those who voted
against them. He said the circuit court
was swamped with considering minor
cases that should never reach it, there
by adding material expense TO the

Teddy to Touch Button.

Washington Senator McCreary Of
Kentucky today introduced to the, pres
ident Fred Levy, the vice-president of
the Greater Louisville exposition,
which is to be held from March IS to
80. The president told Mr.. Levy that
he would press button at the White
House which would set the exposition
machinery in motion. Mr.. Levy re-
marked to the president that the man.
agement would pay all the expenses of
the coming exposition, which led Mr..
Roosevelt to reply humorously that
that was an innovation.

Mcneil and Holly Springs. 21,000
These are only the more important
items. 1t will be seen that the larger
expense by far is for education. Add
ing the amounts expended for the com
mon schools, high schools, together with
100000 interest on Chickasaw School
fund, $1,000 for summer normals, |. |. &
G. endowment, etc, the total is above
Sl,700,000 per year. To this should also
be added the salaries of II county SUI
perintendents and the special tax in
separate school districts. Mississippi is
making fine record in the way of edu-
eating her youth, better than any other
Southern State and larger part of the
Northern States. The next item in i'm
portance is for the support of ex-Con-
federate soldiers who are without the
means of caring for themselves. In this
item S250,O00 is paid direct and $4,000
at the home. There are few indeed who
would advocate the curtaiing of this
expense. The penitentiary shows on the
face a large item of expense, butsthis is
offset by revenues derived amounting to
something like 100000 in net profit
each year. This is over the $214,OO0
of expense The A. & NJ. College, which
together with the several experiment
stations, expend about $l3s,00o annu-
ally, but the excellent work being done
is sufficient cause for continuing the APP
propriation While it is necessary to
expend lorSe sum to keep the wheels
of government moving, our State is in
very prosperous condition, and the
increase in taxable values does not re.
quire an increase in the tax rate. As
the State progresses the expense Of
maintenance will be necessarily In
creased, but the tax rate should be held
down by increased values.

It Is a White Elephant.

Kinds county has something very
like white elephant on hand in the
shape Of the traction road working ma
chine which was secured some time ago.
The machine has done good work where
the typographical and other natural
surface conditions permitted, and has
provento be an economy where condl-
tionsare favorable to its operation, but
it has proven costly in other ways, as
several broken and weakened bridges
which it passed have had to be rebuilt
at considerable cost, to say nothing OF
frequent stoppage for repairs. At
recent session of the board OF super
visors two extraordiharg claims were
presented which arose as result OF the
operation of the road worker. One OF
these was for 50 for hauling coal for
the engine, distance of several miles,
and another was for 1923 damages to IA
acres of hay and 20 FENCE, posts set on
