To the Tax Payers OF the Mississippi
Levee Distrinct.
Recently the board of Mississippi
levee commissioners passed all order
employing its collector to collect
from all persons, by suit or other
wise, the amount of cotton taxes on
all cotton shipped out of the levee
district weighing in excess of 52e
pounds from September Ist, 1904, to
date: under the employment the col

amount collected Under this en-
ployment the collector is asserting
the right to coil<rt $1,000 on each
bale, or SIoo per hundred pounds of
cotton shipped out Of the district.
During the years covered by this
order. from 1904 to 1907 inclusive. the
tax payers have been paying SI.oo

average weight OF cotton was about
52e pounds, and allowing for p
pounds for bagging and ties left 500
pounds for lint cotton. and while III
some cases cotton weighed more than
this IN others it weighed less. and
the excess weight would not justify
the expense Of weighing the cottou.
Taxes on every bale of this cotton
has been paid at the rate agreed up
on by the board, SI.oo per bale.
There has been no attempt on tlc
part of these tax payers to evade the
law. Through three years Of short
crops and hard times they have paid
these taxes without a murmur. 1t =
now sought to collect three years of
alleged back taxes; to enforce the
payment by the threat of a penalty
OF ten times the amount of the tax;
and only one-ha1f OF the amount col

This week the winner of the Demo-
crat'sJ sJamestown contest left for the
great exposition and no doubt when
our contestants heard it, it set their
hearts to beating in anticipation of
taking the same trip two months

day some of the best citizens of

and paid for another years sub
scription in advance in order to-
give their votes to some of their

stantiates conclusively the state
ment, which we have often made

new subscriptions run up to 5000
this $40 will be doubled and the same
raise will take place in each the
second and third prizes. Let us sug-
gest, that in order TO insure the one
who leads this month in subscrp-
tons, the $4,000, the second, $1,000,
and the third, $500, that the different
contestants get together and pledge
that each will secure by the close

Senator A. Miller, OF Sharkey couu-
ty, who was present was called upon
and endorsed the tribute pair Mr..
Thomas by Capt. Stone.
After the adjournment Of the meet
ing Capt Sam Montgomery asked
permission to explain his position on
I the governors race. He said he had
learned through friends that some
had stated that they would vo.,
against him for district attorney, be-
cause he was going to vote for Mr..
Scott in preference to Mr.. Thomas,
his home man, for governor.
Mr.. Montgomery said "It is true
that will vote for Mr.. Scott, not be-
cause that | do not hold Mr.. Thomas
in the highest esteem, but because of
the fact that a few years ago, when
my father was secretary and treas
urer of the levee board, an attempt
was made to prove him short in his
accounts. Mr. Scott was the first man
| to come to his defence and stood by
him to the end, and now for me not
to support him in the race would be
to show an ingratitude THAT could not
be forgotten. l thank you, gentlemen,
for this opportunity to explain this
matter to you. and [ sincerely trust
that You will fully realize my duty
in this matter and will vote accord
