The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1909-08-25
Revision Downward.

Hon. F. M. Lee, chairman of the
Mississippi railroad commission,
proposes to have the rates for hand
ling cotton revised downward, on
a mileage basis, at the September
meeting of the commission. His
plan is not receiving the encourage
ment it deserves because Of the
selfshness OF the inland towns
where congresses are located from
which lower rates would probably
divert some cotton to river points,
and because the press agents Of the
railroads have been working over
time creating sentiment against re-
vision railroads do not fancy be-
ing forced into competition with.
steamboats,. The fact is incontro-
however, that If the rates
are revised along the line proposed
by Mr.. Lee the producers will be
enabled to get their cotton to the
market centers and to the points of
export at less cost than at present
and the transportation companies
still get fair remuneration for the
service rendered, which is the main
point without regard to the posi-.
bic injury to the interests of COM
presses at Meridian, jackson and
Brookhaven. Let's have the re-
vision hew to the line, let the
chips fall where they may it's a
case Of survival of the fttest.

With the opportunity open for

Martial Law Declared.

jackson, Miss, Aug. 23.--Acting
GOV. Manship this Afternoon au-
thorized Sheriff Jones of Franklin
county to declare martial law in
the town of Meadville, the scene of
the Newman -Prichard feud, and
has ordered three military COM
panies to the scene.
Word reached the governor S
office from Sheriff Jones that the
country people, incensed over last
nights attempt to assassinate Err
nest Newman, chancery clerk Of the
county. are preparing to move on
the town tonight, and he is afraid
trouble will happen.
The sheriff states that he feels
unable to cope with the situation.
and acting on these advices. the
governor directed the two military
companies at Natehez, and the
company at Brookhaven, to proceed
at once to the scene. The three
companies left at $50 o'clock and
will reach Meadville shortly after
dark.

The County Farm Scandal.

The Leader referred last Wednes-
day to a certain guard employed at
the county farm who was accused
by a negro girl Of II and two young
colored women prisoners with hay-
ing made Iewd proposals to them
and indecently exhibited his person
in their presence, and stated after
knowledge of this charge had come
to the Board that it held an execu-
tive session, heard the exparte
statements of the accused guard,
and sent him bcak to the farm to
resume his position without ex-
|amiring the Superintendent. the,
negro prisoners or other witnesses.
It is due to President Jones to
state here that he reported these.
charges to the Board. the girl and
women having previously made.
their complaints directly to him as
well as to Supt. Miller. From
what the prisoners told him, he
believed them and says he believes
still that the accused guard should
have been summarily dismissed.
That the whole Board did not 60
into full investigation of the
charges the day it considered the.
case. or if pressed for time, did not
at least suspend the guard until
the investigation was complete. is
most surprising. In the absence
of this. the county farm committee
or board of control, composed Of
Hons. w. H. Furr and G M. Bris-
ter. who are clothed with full pow
er to employ and discharge guards
should have taken up a case Of such
grave Importance and promptly
dispose Of it as the facts warrant
ed the more SO as the accused
guard is from Mr.. Brister's s district
and employed lon his endorsement
Up to this morning Supt. Miller
Informed The Leader. in answer to
our inquiry, that the guard against
whom these grave charges are
made, was still employed on the
farm, as before, and that 50 far. as
he is advised, no investigation has
yet been made By the county farm
committee.

Clerks Pay for Copying Land Assess
nlentS.

jackson, Miss Aug. II Assist
ant Attorney General Butler has
issued an official opinion to Copiah
county ii which he interprets the
code section relating to the pay of
chancery clerks for making copies
Of lard rolls. The inquiry was as
to whether the clerk is entitled to
two cents for each separate entry
in cases where several parcels Of
land is assessed to the same owner.
He holds that III effect the assess
ment is against the land. rather
than against the individual who
owns it. and that therefore each
separate entry is a separate assess
ments It follows as q matter Of
course that the clerk may be paid
a maximum Of two cents for each
entry. regardless of whether several
entries may be against the same
owner. The code provision allows
the boards of supervisors to pay .
reasonable compensation, not to ex-
ceed two cents for each separate
assessment of lands per copy.
