TRAVELLING MANS EXPERIENCE

Il must tell you my experience on
an East bound o. R. G N. R. R. train
from Pendleton to LeGrande, Ore,
writes Sam A. CARRIER a well known
travelling man. 81 was in the smoking
department with some other travelling
men when one of them went out into a
coach and came back and said, There
is woman sick unto death in the car
l at once got up and went out, found
her very i'll with cramp collie; her
hands and arms were drawn I'D so
you could not straighten them, and,
with deathlike look on her face. Two

her and giving her whisky. l went

FORREST COUNTY MAY LEVY
SPECIAL TAX FOR ITS SCHOOLS

rest County direct me to request your
opinion regarding their power to levy
additional school taxes to extend the
school term beyond the time covered
by the state distribution.
See Code of 1892 Section 4O47.
See Code of 1906 Section Asp, also
Notice particularly the addition to
the first section above cited as
shown in the second section above
cited.
Under the Code of 1892 the board
of supervisors Of Perry county levied
2la mills additional school tax, and
afterwards continued to do so under
the code of 1905 without an election,
as they might do under the provision
contained in Section 1872.
On the first Monday in January, 1908
the County of Forrest was organized
out of a part of the County of Perry.
Now can the rights of Perry County
be imputed to Forrest County so as
to authorize Forest county to continue
the 21a mill additional school tax with
out an election, or is an election a
prerequisite to the levying of an ad-
ditional school tax?
Also
See Chapter 70 Laws OF 1908.
Is this section to be construed
independently Of Section 1872, Code of
1908, or are the two to be taken to-
gether, so as to authorize the levy
mentioned in the Acts Of 1908 for
school purposes subject to the cleo
ton condition mentioned in the Code
Section cited?
Again
Constituting Chapter 70, Laws Of 1908,
can only two mills be levied for adj
ditional school tax, or can school
tax be included in the 16 mills county
levy, and then two mills added thereto.
thus making three, four or five mills,
or more, for additional school tax?
To restate the entire proposition in
another form
The County Superintendent of Pub
lie Education of Forrest County de-
sires an additional school levy of be-
tween 91a and 4 mills for chool pur-
poses. Waving the question of the
eXpediency of so large an additional
school levy, can it be done under the
law? And if so, can it be done by
Forrest County without an election?"
The first question you PROFOUND is
by no means free from difficulty, and
the most diligent research convinces
me that the point is one of first i'm
preston at least in Mississippi if not
in the United States. The statute,
Section 4572 of the Code of 1906,
reads; provided that boards of super
visors in those counties where the tax
is now being levied shall have the pow
er to continue levying the tax with
out an election" The word NOW" in
this statute manifestly refers to the
date when the Code of 1906 became
operative. to-wit: October LIST, 1906.
Its effect is TO exempt from the neces-
sity of an election all those counties
which were already making the levy
at the time the statute became oper-
alive. Perry County's territory, For
rest County was created, no territory
being included in the new county ex-
cept such as had formally belonged
to Perry. The special Act, Chapter
1G5 of the laws of 1906, authorizing
the creation of Forrest County, is ST.

EYE DEFECTS IN
THE SCHOOL ROOM

The greater per cent. of eye trouble

school children suffer from defective
eyes. They fall back in their classes
and are often taken out of school
through ignorance of the cause, when
a half hour with an expert optician
would have remedied the whole diff

JEROME'S REPLY.
District Attorney Answers In Detail
Accusations Against Him.

Albany, N. Y, March 9.--District
Attorney Jerome filed to-day with
Governor Hughes his answer to the
charges preferred against him by Will
liam f. King and others in which the
governor is asked to remove Mr..
Jerome from office. Mr.. Jerome
makes a general denial Of the charges.
The governor said he would announce
the procedure TO be followed after he
had examined the document.
The district attorney declares that
the charges against him were base as
sumptions which were purely gratuit-
Gus; that in each instance of alleged
failure to prosecute, the matter re-
ferred to did not as matter of law
constitute a crime, or that IL crime
had been committed it was by reason
of some defect of evidence, such as
the lack of confederation where the
law forbade a prosecution unless there
was corroboration, impossible to sus-
tain a prosecution. and that the law
and the obligations of his oath of Of
flee alike forbade him to institute
prosecutions I'm the absence of evil
dence to Justify them.
Each of the twenty-three charges
against him is taken up by Mr..
Jerome and answered in detail
In reply to the allegation that the
district attorney had lost almost COM
pletely the confidence of the people of
the county of New York. the answer
disclaims any ability to judge of the
truth of this assertion. but sets forth
as bearing upon the question some of
the numerous letters which he has
been receiving since these charges
have been filed. containing assurances
of confidence and expressions of APP
prevail of the district attorneys course
In the list of letters referred to are
communications from Joseph H
Choate. formerly ambassador to Great
I Britain; General BENJAMIN F. Tracy
/ formerly secretary of the navy, and
I Edward NJ. Shepard.

speaker said that only a short time
since, Secretary Taft had spoken on

punctured the theories Of Henry
