Committee.
July 9TH 1908.
PROTEST
The State of Mississippi, Ok
tibbeha county.
Whereas you employed and
appointed Nathan w. Puller and
P. G. Sudduth to audit the books
and files of the Chancery Clerks
Office of said county and make
report Of same covering the last
tour years of my administration
as Chancery Clerk, and they
have completed their inveStiga
tion and filed their report, as a
tax payer and citizen of said
county do hereby enter my pro-
test against an allowance or
compensation to be paid out Of
the county treasury therefor for
the following reasons to wit.
1st-That they have failed to
give the county good and proper
service. The books and files
have not been properly audited.
2nd-That they have occupied
unnecessary time taking months
wherein only few days are re-
quired TO do the same work, as
proof of this fact. l took up the
same work, audited the same
books, and files, in detail, and
did every particle of clerical
work that they did in the short
space of seven and one half hours
time.
3d-That they are wholly in
capacitated and incompetent for
! this work, or else knowingly and
purposely made the investiga-
tion and reported matters which
are void of foundation, and
which the records contradict in
almost every instance.
h--That their report now on
file shows upon its face, in near
ly every instance, carelessness,
negligence. incompetency, or
knowingly or purposely stating
things which never existed, rem
dering the report and investlga-
ton worthless and void of virtue
and wholly unreliable.
5th-That they either failed.
as the records show, to go fully
into the details of the records,
or else knowingly, felt contented
with furnishing you with a re-
port of their own choosing. re-
gardless of the true facts as
they exist.
6Jh-That the minute books of
the court aud the warrant books
stand mutilated with their notes,
calculated to impress fraud on
the part OF the Clerk, to the
pubic, wherein the records prove
no foundation whatever, and
wherein the minute cook contra
diets their assertions,
7th-That the records are type-
written, plain and simple, how
ever your auditors either failed,
or purposely overlooked the az.
tions of the Board and reported
accordingly and regardless
S.h-That you have had un-
excusably poor service, based on
their own report, which has
fallen to pieces before the eyes
of the Board and their commits
temen, repors wholly unrelias
BILE and filed with misleading
and misrepresentation.
9t-That the books and files of
said Office was once before audit.
ed by efficient auditors and COM
pleted in comparatively short
time, for very small compea-
sation, to which you are here re.
ferred.
| 10th-That my protest and the
above is based on the record and
their report which is now before
you, and which your committee
has fully investigated, and which
the auditors themselves will ad.

The Kind Of Bow He Was.

That Marshall Field Of Chicago knew
how to wrest victory from defeat and
make stepping stones Of stumbling
blocks is shown by the following story
told of him by friend:
When a boy young Field went to a
great merchant and asked, do you
want q boy" Nobody wants Il boy,
replied the merchant do you need a
boy?' the boy persisted, not at all
abashed. Nobody needs boy was
the reply. But he would not give up
"WeIl, say, mister, DO you have to have
q bow" II think likely we do, re-
piled the merchant, "and rather think
we will have to have a boy just like
you"

another tells the good man, Shake your

Insects guide themselves In flight al
most entirely and on the ground partly
by means of their faceted eyes. The
antennae and the buccal sensory or
gans cannot help In aerial steering.
Insects perceive the motion OF OBJ
jects particularly WE'LL. e., the dis
placements OF visual images relatively
to the compound eye. They therefore
see better when on the wing than al
rest. for during flight the image OF I'M
mobile objects is displaced relatively
to the eye.
Insects distinguish the contours ana
forms of objects only more or less In
distinctly.
Insects appreciate the direction ano
distance of objects very clearly during
flight by the aid Of their compound
eyes. They can also appreciate. even
when at rest, the distance Of immobile
objects.
Certain insects (bees, bumblebeesl
distinguish color clearly and recognize
colors better than forms. Among
others (wasps) the perception of color
appears. on the contrary, to be very
rudimentary.-"Senses Of Insects"
