the Chancery Court of Lee County
against some forty fire insurance
companies and agencies alleged TO
have been making or cutting rates
in contravention OF the antitrust
statutes of 1906, in which the State
asks for the statutory penalties,
states that the bill has been filed
and the answer made returnable at
August rules. which would be the
second Monday III August, after
which the defendants will have until
the following month to file answer,
which will no doubt be in the nature
of a demurrer. and from the ruling
on which it would come to the Su-
preme Court This means a long

The board of supervisors of Boli-
var county in session last week at
Rosedale raised the salary of the
county health officer from $500 to
$1,000 per year, and at later meet
ing changed it back to the former
figure, assigning as their reason
that there were doctors in the coun-
ty who would take the job at that
salary The Rosedale Democrat i'll
commenting upon their action says
that the office should not be let to
the lowest bidder Efficiency and
an unselhsh devotion to the duties
Of the office should be the supreme
test, and when it Is remembered
that DR.. Sutherland has achieved
fame as a health officer not only
statewide, but extending to other
states, we believee the board will
again take the matter up and allow
that eminent physician a salary
commensurate with his services.

Sheriff's Failed to Settle.

The sleriffs OF only four counties
in the State have failed thus far to
make their settlements with Auditor
Smith and Treasurer Edwards for
June tax collections. They are
Amite, Choctaw, Monroe and Siiar-
key. These are expected in every
mail, and Auditor Smith IS patiently
waiting to close them out on his re-
cords. In none of the counties are
the amounts large. and there is no
rneasiness in any quarter, but these
delays always cause much incon-
venience and unnecessary delay iii

The action of the farmers of Am

that is being watched by their neigh

not slow in falling in line. These

drop off the plant, they have picked
them up and burned them One
