Is II Patriotism? ?

But why call on the present city
officials in the name of patriotism to
sacrifice part Of their salaries "
tide the city over in the present finan-
cial situation? The writer is perhaps
old-fashioned in his views. He be-
lieves that the city. no less than
corporation or private individual,
should carry out it's contracts. The
city has a contract with the present
officials for the discharge of certain
duties and has agreed to pay them
certain fees and salaries. The City
Clerk, the City Tax Collector, the City
Marshal have been named in this con-
troversy. If these officials have failed
in the honest and conscientious dis
charge of their duties, the writer has
failed to hear it,

MRS. russell sage
At new ORLEANS
Many Evidences of Her Reputed
Generosity.

New Orleans, Feb. 9-The gener-
osity Of Mrs. Russell Sage, said to be
the richest woman in the world, was
evidenced in her trip to New Orleans.
On each division where the train
crews were changed an envelope was
handed to the engineer and fireman.
In the envelope of the man at the
throttle was crisp new five dollar
note. The fireman received three dol.
lars and the tips distributed to the
conductors and employees of the train
proper were also liberal.
The engineer who pulled the train
from Mobile to New Orleans comment
ed on the compliment of Mrs. Sage,
saying: "Its an unusual thing that
the men in cab are remembered, and
it shows Mrs. Sage leaves nothing un-
done when she decides on matter"
Mrs. Sage will remain in the city

much interested in the carnival fes-
tivities and is decidedly we'll pleased

Editor of The News:
In connection with the public dis
cussion of the Commission form of
City Government, considerable has
been said of late concerning the fees
and salaries received by the City Tax
Collector, the City Clerk, the City
Marshal and other city officials.
The writer is not opposed to the
Commission form of government. The
business affairs of the city, like the
business affairs of private corpora
tion or individuals would be run on
a business-like and economical plan.
1t is simply question of business,
and by centralizing the responsibility
to few men, systematizing the affairs
of the city and requiring the entirc
time and best thought of the commits
sioners, the problem may be satisfac-
torily solved.

Woman Gave Tips.

A tip having been furnished Deputy
McGilvray by Ike's wife, the man was
put through the third degree and dur
ing the sweating process the officer
learned that the man he wanted was
at the home of his brother-in-law,
Will Smith who lives about two miles
from Jackson, and who brought the
order for Toms money and gave 1t o
Ike.
Acting upon this information Depu-
ty McGilvray telephoned to r. Berry
Riley, of this city, who is now in
Jackson, instructing him to get an Of
ficer and go after Bolton, which he
did, later telephoning Mr.. McGilvray
that the negro had been arrested and
would be brought to this city by a
Jackson officer.
1t is said that the woman was shot
on the front gallery of the Bolton
cabin during quarrel with her drunk
en- husband, and that after the shoot
ing Bolton took the body and plac' d
it in the bed, getting out of the city
before the crime had been discovered.

SUPT. POWERS IS
MUCH GRAT|F!ED
A Favorable Report of House Com
tee on Agriculture on Agricultural
High School Bill.

Special to The NeUS.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 9.-State Su
perintendent of Education j. N. Pow
ers is gratified at the action this morn
ing of the House committee on Educa-
tion in favorably reporting the agrl-
cural high school bill, which had al
ready passed the senate several days
ago. and of the action of the Senate
committee on education in making a
favorable report on the bill providing
for the consolidation of rural schools
where needed, and for carrying the
pupils from their homes to the schools
in conveyances provided at public ex-
pense and under the public school su-
pervision. This bill passed the house
some time ago.
Both the bills have been strongly
favored by the state department of
education, and are parts of a great
plan, along with the state normal for
teachers, of building up a greater edu-
cational system with the rural schools
and agricultural studies at the fore
front.

Committee Will
REPORT this WEEK
Lawyers And Judges All Over State
Interested in Redistricting Work
Now In Progress.
Special to The NeiCS.

Special to The NeiCS.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 9.-Chairman
Mcdonald, of the subcommittee ap-
pointed by Chairman Banks of the re-
districting committee, states that his
committee will be ready to make its
report to the main committee within
the next day or two, with bill which
it will recommend for passage.
When this bill reaches the whole
committee of 26 members, represent
ing every judicial district of the state,
it is regarded as certain that there
will be much discussion of its various
features, no matter what they may
contain, and some time will be neces-
sary in which to reach an agreement
n committee. Then, should there be
any agreement, will come the fight in
the two houses.
Already, with no committee report
to guess by, almost every circuit
Judge, chancellor and district attorney
in the state has beer at the capital to
look into the interests of his respec-
tive district, and it is probable that
all those who can afford to do so will
be here again when the bill gets be-
fore the committee.
1t is more than probable that in the
shifting of districts some Of the pres
ent judges will be placed outside their
districts-or rather their districts Will
be moved from under them. The po-
litical significance of it will therefore
be readily seen, and the anxiety of
the interested persons easily account
ed for.

IN FUTURES
Was Subject Of Hearing Today
Before Agricultural Commit
tee In Congress.


Washington, Feb 9.-Gambling in
futures in cotton and other agricui-
tural products was the subject of a
hearing begun today before the agri-
cultural committee of the house.
The inquiry brought together dele
cation of prominent members of the
Cotton Exchange of New York, and
several delegations of cotton growers
agriculturalists, who appeared to give
testimony for and against the meas
ures designed to prohibit dealings in
futures.
Several bills are before the commit
tee dealing with this subject. Chair
man Scott of the committee is author
of the sweeping bill designed to end
gambling in the futures and products
of the farm. Cangressmen from Tex
as have introduced a half dozen or
more bills which, if injected into law,
would prevent gambling in the fu-
lures of cotton.
Representatives of practically all of
the Southern states are pledged for
law along those lines. The bills
also have the support of the Western
members.

PAID MORE TAXES
than NECESSARY
Deputy Auditor is Busy With Claims
Than Was Required of Them.
Special to The NeaCs.

Special to The NeiCS.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 9.-Deputy
Auditor d. l.. Thompson is taking up
much of his time working on the
claims of those persons who have
paid too much taxes to various sher-
ifs throughout the state, and who
have been too late to get refund
through the county machinery.
There are nearly two hundred OF
these claims for varying amounts, and
they must be passed upon by the
auditor and the attorney general be-
fore being allowed from the treasury
fund appropriated for that purpose,
in order to avoid the necessity OF
having the legislature pass special
relief bill in each case.
From the same fund is paid
claims of those persons who have
purchased state lands, but whose IT,
tie thereto has proven defective, the
state having failed to make good.
The amounts appropriated during
the present session of the senate, and
not yet having been reached by the
house, are considerably in excess OF
those of last session, but there ap.
pears to be little likelihood that there
will be money left in either fund Of

Why Not Ask Others?

Wouldn't it be as just and fair to
call on any other man or set of men
in Hattiesburg to sacrifice a consid-
cradle part of their salaries or income
as to call on the City officials? Pa
triotism, in its original sense meant
the protection of the home. The true
patriot is he who first above all things
provides for, cares for and protects
the members of his immediate house
hold, Duty then demands, and not till
then, that he devote his means and
his time, his strength; and if need be
his life to the protection of his COM
munity, his state his native land.
