SCOTT Illegally flfCIfD PRESIDENT,

Gov. Noel's special message 10
the Legislature, concerning the re-
cent organization Of the Yazoo Mis-
slssippi Levce Board, appears in this
issue Of The Commonwealth. Capt
D. G. Pepper, Of Holmes county, was
duly and legally elected President Of
the Board on the first 81 ballots, in.
asmuch as Supt. King of the Y. &
NJ. Y. r. r. had not been appointed
as a member, and, therefore, had no
right to participate in the delibera-
tons Of the Board. Under these
circumstances it is the duty Of Hon.
b A Scott 10 gracefully step down
and allow Capt. Pepper to take
charge as President, to which posi-
ton he was legally elected As TO
the manipulation Of the election Of
the Secretary and Treasurer in the
interest Of the Planters Bank retain
ing on deposit the Leyee Board
money, this matter has been partial
ly remedied by the passage Of a de-
pository bill by the Legislature,
which requires the money collected
in each county to be kept on deposit
in said county and the interest paid
on same is 10 90 into the Levee
Board treasury instead Of to the Sec
rotary and Treasurer, as has evil
IDENTIFY been the custom heretofore
The Legislature has also passed a
resolution TO appoint a legislative
committee to investigate the charges
as 10 the manner ia which the Or
g%anization Of the Levee Board was
manipulated. A thorough inyesti-
cation into these matters will be
made and reported TO the Governor
who will submit the report to the
at its biennial session
two years hence.
