Tax Figger Equivalents.

If Tippah county were to vote
a three mill school tax there would
be in the county six months free
school for all children between the
ages of five and twenty-one. The
average taxpayer in the county
would pay about ST. 40 beside which
the M. J. & K. C. Railroad would
pay $4,000. One dollar and forty
cents each! That is the price of
three and a half pounds of toll
erably good "chawing terbacker, "
the price of ten dozen eggs at
fifteen cen S, the price of three
show tickets, the price of half
gallon of sorry booze, the price
of a fifty mile ride on a railroad
train, the price of four hens and
a rooster, the price of good
mink skin, the price of three
meals It a hotel, the price of ID
ten cent cigars, the price of 2S
soda waters, the price of ID
pounds of bacon, the price of an
ordinary pig, only 40 cents than
the usual fine imposed by some
justice of the peace the price OF
having three teeth pulled, the price
of one and a half bushels of corn,
the price of six bushels of cot

these things greater than the men

Our attention has been called to
a statement made in our editorial
of several weeks ago summarizing
the school situation here, where
in too broad a remark was made
Speaking of the desk debt, we said
that "It had been retired entire, :"
when the real situation is that it
was largely retired, but that there
was a remainder when we wrote of
two unmatured notes for 1921 each
with interest, total of $462 and
little over. One of these notes fell
due in August (1908) the other
does not accrue till Aug. 1909.
Some arrangem will be
taken to get rid of this note now
little overdue at once. We have no
bubbles but what it will speedily
be done, as this people have always
managed to carry the finances of
the school and have never issued a
dollars worth of bonds or asked
for a cent of spcial taxation, mu-
nicipal or otherwise to accomplish
it: That's a splendid record so far.
Possibly some day we may revert
to one or the other of these, but
not while it would work hardship
of the town in its infancy or the
Taxpayers, while the district is
sparsely populated.

An article by DIR. Willis Valley

borhood version of the robbery of
his father in our last issue, reach
es us too late for inserting this
week, but will appear in our next.
We have no desira to do VALLEY or
any other man an injustice in print
and he can certainly have his speech
ment through this paper where in
volved, but we promise to publish
what we think is news, him or any
other man, who has an ethical
shrinking from print, to the con-
trary notwithstanding. That we
believe is fair.

Can't Ignore His Town.

Ocean Springs News.
1t was rumored on the streets. the
early part of the week that E. M !.
Barber of Biloxi, would make a
political speech in Ocean Springs
just before the primary, but for
some reason the gentleman never
showed up. Mr.. Barber was re-
Gently a candidate for congress, but
during the entire campaign never
saw fit to visit Ocean Springs nor
insert an announcement of his can
didacy in the local paper. His able
opponent Mr.. Bowers did both. See
result of election elsewhere in this
paper. The News does not credit
Mr.. Bowers large vote here entire
ly to the mere fact that he. visited
the town and thought enough of our
votes to ask for them in the time
honored way. His record in con-
gress entitled him to our support
for reelection. But supposing all
things had been equal 1t stands
to reason that when it comes to
choosing between a candidate who
entirely ignores the town and one
who desires the support of the vo-
ters here and solicits in person and
through the press the people are
going to support tie latter every
time. Mr.. Barber has been run
ming for office a long time and
ought to know that he cannot
ignore the newspapers and people
of any community and expect them
to vote for him. =

THE SCHOOL OPENING.

The HERALD Scribe was not
present at the school opening Mon
day, but one present informs us
that inspiring and instructive
talks were made by Co. Supt. Ed. f,
Oscar Backstrom, Rev. A. G. Fer
guson ex-Supt. Ed, and Prof. j.
F. Miller, principal. Our infor-
mant says that it was quite an
encouraging audience of patrons,
board of directors and trustees. "
The enrolment reached the figure
of 126 before the day closed. Prof.
Miller has been laid up part of the
week since the opening, but the
school has run on uninterruptedly
with exception of some of his class
es. He will be able to resume
personal work Monday.

AS our NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ar
ticle contained a mild appeal to
our friends for financial remem-
brance, we must acknow e d G e
through print favors shown since
our last issue in that way. Our
cash receipts for the week run to
$73 and considerably of this came
in the way we asked, payment of
some accounts runovers because of
hard times with our patrons. The
subscription receipts were not as
brisk as they should have been. 1t
takes a lot of money to run a
newspaper of the class we are pro-
ducing and a continuous stream of it.
Hope our friends who have fallen
behind will remember this soon as
they can we'll do so.

The Wise Woman Who Plans Her
Fall Costumes

The first need of the Autumn for
most women is the tailored suit to
replace the light weight voile or
pongee that has been on duty all
Summer. The new materials are
already being shown, and there
are some very attractive versions
of the worsted fabrics. The sserge
and panamas, it goes without
saying, will predomlnate. There
are two very decided types of suit
coats that will be worn during the
coming season, the Directoire
model that is favored by certain
high class tailors who follow the
lead of Paris and the single breas-
ted, semiftted, semi long coat that
is unquestionably one of the most
becoming garments we have ever
worn. The long points on the hips
attenuate the figure of the heavily
built woman and the Consulate
collar seems to add to her height.
On the slender woman it is quite
delightful and very young looking.
The second coat belongs to the
type that Fluffy Ruffles has made
famous from one coast to the other.
Its lines are so familiar to US all
that it is not necessary to describe
them or to dwell on the obvious
good points of the slim, graceful
cut of the coat. 1t has taken many
months to settle the mooted ques-
tion Of skirts with any degree of
defiteness. Paris limits the plated
skirt to the trotteur costume, and
New York is slowly following her
lead. Every one admitted that the
gored skirt was smart-s smarter
than the plated but the latter
was so ingratiatingly pretty that
the public clung to it tenaciously.
1t is hardly fair to speak of it in
the past tense, even now, for one
sees every variety of plated skirts
triple plaits at eac:: gore, shall
low plaits around the waist the
new plated skirt that is good for
stripes and the one with groups of
plaits for bordered goods. But we
have at last realized the finality
of the Partisan mandate, though
it is hard to turn directly from the
plated skirt to the gored-the
latter looks bare and untrimmed to
our uneducated eye. Therefore,
there is a constant demand 1Cr
trimming bands. for tucks in the
bottom-for anything, in fact that
will let us down gently to the new
gored skirts. Some of the new
gored skirts are very pretty and
smart. The September Delinator.

Account Books Are Usually Conscience
SAVERS. ~

If any household tradition enjoys
an unearned prestige, it is that the
housekeeper who keeps accounts is a
good manager. She announces with
righteous superiority, | have item
lied my accounts for the year and |
know just where every cent has
gone. y
The woman who returns froffa q
shopping eepxidition to sit down
at her desk and SUMMARIZE her
expenditures may salve hers. con-
science for reckless extravaagnces.
But for all that, the money that
bought those sweet new dining
room1rcurtains has vanished and
Willie must go without his under
fiannels or another bill be run at
the dry goods store.
And, when that unhappy day of
reckoning arrives, that day when
two ends c4nnot be brought to-
fgether, an account book is poor
comfort for theb ad management it
records. The woman who lacks
discrimination and selfcontrol when
confronted by money and necess-
tiles will not acquire vthem by the
intellectual contem mplation of
accounts. -
On the other hand that fortu-
nate woman who is a good man
ager, finances her house and her
family, with a surplus instead of
bills. She may or may not keep a
record of her expenditures, but if
she does it is the story, not the
cause, of her good management.
She studies hern eeds and her re-
sources. She makes up her ac-
countsbefore her money is spent,
even before it is received. Elan
ming and care and forethought are
the only safe regulators of expen-
diture, and account books, however
complete, are but accessories. The

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe Replies To Mrs

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, presi-
dent of the New England Woman
Surffage Association. has sen
letter to the London Times. in re-
ply to Mrs. Humphrey Wards re-
cent attack upon the equal suffrage
movement in America. Mrs. Ward
said that the movement in this coun-
try was strong in the second third
of the 18th Century but is now
almost extinct, owing to the or
agnized opposition of of women.
Mrs. Howe says; Nothing could
be further from the facts. In the
second third of the 18th, century
the movement was small and unpop-
ular. 1t has grown steadily in
numbers and strength ever since.
= The change of sentiment in is its
favor among women has been es-
pecially marked. The National
American Woman Surffage Associa-
tion grows in membership every
year, and its annual income has
risen from 81, 544.00 in 1892 to
$25, ,662.00 in 1907. "Of the 46
States, of the Union, there are
Anti Suffrage Associations in only

Sept. Is, 1908.
Mr.. Bearl desires us to state
that the above list is as near cor
rect as he could make it. The old
roll call is lost. John w. Daugn-
drill told the editor recently lnat
he had it till few years ago, but
can't now lay hands on it. Mr..
Beard says that possibly there
might be a lew names on. his list
that belonged to some other COM
pany; that possibly there might be
some name omitted that should be
hereon, but so far as he can tell
from his memory upon which he
had chiefly to depend in its com
pllation, and the fragments of
reference memoranda that he had
to consult, lis pretty well correct.
A list of the same company pub
lished lately in the Hattiesburg
Daily News and sent to j. M
Miller of Forks of the river and by
MIN put in the hands of the editor,
was canvassed over before this pub
lication by Beard and the editor,
but we decided to insert Beard s
handiWork as it seems to have
been more nearly correct. If
there be anyone under whose eyes
this passes that can furnish any
enen1ations or corrections to the
list, or bits of history with refer
ence to the now famous old Henry
Roberts Company, please send it
in to this paper at once and we
will get it down in print before it
passes from memory or into the
grave, with its owner. Our idea
is to preserve this precious annals

hope to publish some information

If vested with power the Demo-
Gratis propose to revise the tariff at
once. One of the most effective
weapons against monopoly is the
placing of trust-made articles on
the free list. This measure should
G hand in hand with criminal
prosecutions and the licensing of
interstate corporations. Trusts
which are but modernized forms of
the world evil of monopoly be
controlled. AS between the upper
mill stone of federal supervision,
once firmly placed, and the ne her
one of state control, the trusts may
be ground very effectually. Shall
the people rule?" is the question.
Bolivar Co. Democrat.
Governor Noel's idea of a board
of pardons appeals very forcibly
to practical people. Probably no
part of the duties of the chief ex-
ecutive of the state is so difficult,
so trying to his personal feelings
or puzzling to his judgment as the
exercise of his power. 1t has
grown to undue proportions, and
in addition to the tax on sensibil-
ties and judicial greJ matter the
ever increasing claim on the time
of the governor makes it a matter
for serious consideration. No con-
scientious official, of course would
grant or refuse a pardon with
out due investigation of the case.
This, of course, takes time and
trouble; and when several petit
tions for pardon are under consid-
Grafton nearly all the time, often
supplemented by the presence of
the family of the convict, and the
trying experiences of personal in
terviews with narrowing circum-
stances, it may really be understood
that any man would shrink from
the ordeal. The suggestion Of Mr..
Noel that he be given relief from
this responsibility is most reas-
enable, and should meet afavorable
response by the legislature when it
conveneS again.
