No Right to Offer Premiums.

The following communication re-
ceived by Acknowledgement Stirling,
from R. L. Suber, clerk of the board
of supervisors, explains itself:
cat the July meeting of the board of
supervisors of Winston county, the
board, in connection with a committee
of the Winston County Fair Associa-
ton, in joint convention, offered pre-
miums for the best worked roads in each
beat in the county, the board agreeing
to pay 500 from each beat. The COM
mittee from the fair association agreed
to give to the man having the best
worked roads one road machine to cost
not less than $500. Now what the
board wants to know is, whether they
had the right or the law OF which to
offer these premiums, inasmuch as the
roads were already worked by contract
The board has since rescinded the above
act, but for their own satisfaction they
want your opinion on the matter"
Answering this query, the attorney
general intimates very briefly and di-
rectly that the board had no right to
offer the premiums, in his opinion, and
the action of the body in resembling the
order appears to have been wisely
taken.

Talk Good Roads.

Good roads was one subject that took
up the attention of the Mississippi SUI
pervisors' association, which held a two
days session at Jackson. The first thing
on the program was an address, by Agri-
cultural Commissioners Blakeslee, tho
burden of which was good roads. The
second feature was an address by At
torney-General Stirling, who spoke chief
ly on the road laws. He emphasized
what he has long preached in opinions,
that in dealing with the road law, as
we'll as other statutes, supervisors must
not transcend the powers specifically
given them in the code.

turned his head, grinned at me sheep
ishly through the pickets, and gave
a kick that set the glass to tinkling.
Then he held up his hands in sign of
surrender and l saw that they were
cut and bleeding. We were both badly
blown, and while we regained our
wind we stared at each other. He
was the first to speak.
kicked, bit or stung!" he NUT
tered, dolefully; that saddest of all
words, 'stung!' It's as clear as noon
light that I'm badly mussed, not to
say cut"
May l trouble you not to kick out
any more of that glass? The gardener
will be here in a minute and fish you
out"
"Lawsy, what is it? An aquarium,
that you fish for me?"
He chuckled softly, but sat per-
fectly quiet, finding, it seemed, a Ger
tain humor in his situation. The
gardener came running and swore in
broad Scots at the destruction of the
frame. We got over the fence and re-
leased our captive, who talked to him
self in doleful u~ndertones as we
hauled him to his feel amid a renewed
c1ink of glass.
Gently, gentlemen; behold the
night-blooming cereus! Not all the
court-plaster in the universe can glue
me together again" He gazed rue
fully at his slashed arms, and rubbed
his legs. "The next time l seek the
garden at dewy eve I'll wear my tin
suit"
There won't be any next time for
you. What did you run for?"
Trying to lower my record-it's a
mania with me. And as one good
question deserves another, may ! ask
why you didn't tell me. there was a
glass-works beyond that fence? 1t
wasn't sportsmanlike to hide a muir
derous hazard like that. But l cleared
those pickets with a yard to spare,
and broke my record"
You broke about seven yards of
glass;" l replied. TT may sober you
to know that you are under arrest.
The Waterman here has a constable's
license"
H also has hair hat suggests the
common garden or boiled carrot. The
tint is not to my liking; yet it is
not for me to be captious where the
Lord has hardened his heart"
What is o u name?" I demanded.
Gillespie. r. Gillespie. The r will
indicate to you the depth of my hui
mility: 1 make it a life work to hide
the fact that l was baptized Regi-
nald."
I've been expecting you, Ne. Giles
pie, and now l want you to come over
to my house and give an account Of
yourself. l will take charge of this
man, Andy. l promise that be shan't
set zoe here again. And, Andy. YOU
iced mention this affair to no one"
Very good, sir"
He touched his hat respectfully.
Il have business with this person.
Say nothing to the ladies at ST. Aga
tha's about him"
He saluted and departed; and with
Gillespie walking beside me started
for the boat-landing.
He had wrapped a handkerchief
about one arm and I gave him nv
own for b other. His right arm was
bleeding freely below the elbow and
| tied it up for him.
That jump deserved better luck,
l volunteered, as he accepted my aid
in silence.
I'm proud to have you like it. Will
you kindly tell me who the devil you
are?"

"My name is Donovan"
81 don't wholly care for it," he OBJ
served, mournfully. Think it over
and see if you can't do better. I'm
not ure that I'm going to grow FOND
of you. What's your business with
me, anyhow"
my business, MI. Gillespie, is to
see that you leave this lake by the
first and fastest train"
rs it possible?" he drawled, mock
ingly.
More han that" I replied in his
own key; 1T is decidedly probable"
Meanwhile, it would be diverting
to know where you're taking me. I
thought h other chap was the con
stable
I'm taking you to the house Of a
friend where I'm visiting. I'm going
to row you in your boat. It's only a
short distance; and when we get there
l shall have something to say to you"
He made no reply, but got into the
boat without ado. 1 turned over in my
mind the few items of information
that l had gained from Miss Pat and
her niece touching the young man
VIC was now my prisoner, and found
that l new little enough about him.
He was the unwelcome and annoying
sutton of Miss Helen Holbrook, and
l had caught him prowling about st.
Agatha's in a manner that was indie
feasible.
He sat huddled in the stern, nursing
his swathed arms on his knees and
whistling doIefuIly. The lake was a
broad pool Of silver. Save for the
soft splash of Iiima's paddle behind
me and the slight wash of water on
h e a shore, silence possessed the
world. Gillespie looked about with
some curiosity, but said nothing, and
when l drove the boat to the Glenarm
landing he crawled out and followed
me through the wood without a word.
1 flashed on the lights in the library
and after a short inspection Of his
wounds we went to my room and
found sponges, plasters and ointments
in the family medicine chest and
cared for his injuries.
There's no honor in tumbling into
a greenhouse, but such is R. Giles

Its my poor wits, if we must fix

bosom of a blooming asparagus bed,
and the enemy lays violent hands on

sting-y pudding on that cut I shall

As l finished with the vaseline he
lay back on the couch and sighed
deeply and l rose and sent lima away
with the basin and towels.

Senator Gore spent his boyhood days in
Jackson, serving as a page in the Legis-

From Railroads.

Z. Il. Maxwell, secretary of the rail-
road commission, is gradually complet-
ing the compilation of his data for the
makeup of the commissions biennial
report, which will include all the or
ders, actions and statistical matter
which has been the outcome of the work
of that body during the past two years.
In the last mentioned class is included
the mileage and valuation statistics of
the several railway lines, with the State
ad valorem and privilege taxes, the re-
suit and summaries of which nave been
recently published. AS the tables show,
the total valuation of all railroad prop
erty for the year 1909, was $49, O69 SOS,
while that for 19OS was $46,351,O16 an
increase during the two years, accord
ing to the final equalization by the com
mission, of $2,71S,652. From this val
uation for the current year, or to the
first of October, 1909, a State tax OF
$294,41S will be forthcoming, compared
with $27S, LOG. 90, an increase of $16,-
311.91 for the twelve months.
The privilege taxes also showed a
slight increase, which was felt to great
er or less extent by all the systems, the
privilege assessment , for 1908 having
been $6O,521.76, and for 1909, $780,
1912. AS indicating the rating of the
roads for privilege tax, the following
table will demonstrate:

Poultry Men Organize.

AS an incident of the State fair SEES
sion for 1905 a step was taken which
may result in much practical good, just
as the organization of the Live Stock
Breeders Association has done for that
department of activity. This was in the
organization of the breeders of poultry
into a permanent association, the Missis-
sippi Poultry Breeders Association.
There are a large number of successful
raisers of feathered stock here, and the
wonderful exhibit of poultry now in the
scoops prompted these men to organize.
NJ. L. Atwood, . white man, was killed

Pensioners MAY Wait.

The officials in the auditors depart
ment are ready, so far as the figuring
and estimating is concerned, to proceed
with the distribution of the pension war
rants, but the difficulty is that, while
the warrants are due and payable, they
will probably nave to be held for some
tine, until there is money in the treas
ury. Just how the balance stands is not
known, as Treasurer Edwards is adher-
ing to his determination not to give out
anv statements as to the cash balance.

JACKSON
PRESIDENT AT STATE FAIR.
Thousands Visit Jackson to See the Ma
tons Chief Executive.

President Taft arrived at Jackson
from New Orleans at S:45 o'clock Mon
day morning, Just five minutes behind
his arranged schedule. The railroads
handled 10000 excursionists into jackson
and they were fairly saturated with
pleasure. 1t was an event in most of
their lives to see a president of the
United States, for Mr.. Taft is the first
president ever to visit Jackson. Mr.. Nc
Kinley passed through the city on one
occasion, but only made a few remarks
from the end of his car.
The president enjoyed a long but pleas
ant day. He seemed to enjoy the big
crowds that choked the streets and gave
he went. At the fair grounds Mr.. Taft
witnessed one of the greatest and most
exuberant throRgs of his entire trip.
He lunched with Gov. and Mrs. Noel
and met a number of the States distin-
guished citizens. He spent an hour 60
ing through the various exhibits at the
fair and was particularly interested in
the agricultural displays. These displays
so impressed the president that he de-
voted most of his address to the import
ance of farming and to a depreciation of
the tendency of young men to drift to
the cities, where they think they can be
where "the wheels go round
In the late afternoon the president
had an hours automobile ride about the
city and then enjoyed a brief period of
rest before attending a banquet in his
honor, the viands, the cooks and the
walters for which were all brought on Il
special car from Chicago.
Excursion trains poured from all over
the State into the city this morning,
and when President Taft arrived at the
fair grounds shortly after II o'clock to
make an outdoor address he faced one
of the largest crowds of his entire trip.

Noel's Uncle Drops Dead.

Owing to the intervention of the hand
of death somewhat of a damper was
cast over the closing hours of what had
been to Gov. Noel one of the most sue
cessful and enjoyable days of his official
career, which was reflected to a certain
extent over the evening feature of the
Taft day exercises. Gov. Noel had just
returned to the mansion from his round
with President Taft during the late af-
ternoon when a telegram reached him
from Louisville, KY, bearing news of the
sudden death of Judge David Sanders,
the Kentucky %jurist, and uncle on the
maternal side, who died suddenly shortly
after 4 o'clocKa 1t was in the office of
Judge Sanders that the present governor
of Mississippi read law, and it was in
his home where he was given a home
while pursuing his studies, and to him
Gov. Noel had always been deeply at
tached. Owing to this fact the governor
was compelled to send his regrets to the
banquet committee and to be excused.
