Publicity Forces Are Not Actively En-

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 19.-The pub
licity forces of the Mississippi State |
Fair are now actively engaged in field |
work, and indications are that all for
mer attendance records will be broken
at the big event from Oct. 25th to Nov.
3rd, inclusive.
"We are going to have a great
State Fair this year." said Manager
Mckay this morning. 1T will not
only be on a more comprehensive
scale than it's predecessors, but many
new features typifying the industrial
and agricultural revolution through
which Mississippi is now passing will
be presented.
First and foremost, it will be an
agricultural fair, fully illustrating the
wonderful possibilities of Mississip-
pts soil, and showing the many mon
ey-making opportunities offered by a
diversified and intensive farming pol
icy. Our exhibits of this character
will be four times more numerous
than formerly.
Putting it briefly, we are going to
show home-seekers and their repre-
sentatives what sort of crops can be
raised in this state. We are going 90
give our own farmers the opportunity
Of seeing the best live stock in the
South, and convince them that there
is money in the stock raising indus
try. We are going to illustrate the

agriculturists of this state indepen
dent. We will prove indisputably thai
y Mississippi is not one-crop state

ANOTHER ruling
BY Mr.. MCDOWELL
Holds That Counties Can't Collect
Road Tax From Residents OF
municipalities.

Special to The Netos.
jackson, Miss. Aug. ia county
can't collect the commutation road
tax from residents of municipality
though that municipality fails to
work it's streets, according to an opin'
ion handed down by the department
of Justice through Assistant Attorney
General James r. Mcdowell. This
opinion was handed down in reply
to question from Sheriff H. x. Rouse
of Pearl River county.
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-08-19

Sheriff Rouse states that the NUM-
cipality does not maintain any gov
ernment, nor has it even any officers,
but the road contractor recently
worked two miles of streets through
the town and demanded pay from the
county supervisors. The supervisors
refused to allow the claim, and the
sheriff desired to know whether he
could collect the communication tax
from residents of the municipality,
since there was no municipal tax col
lector, treasurer, mayor or board of
aldermen.
Mr.. Mcdowell holds that, under
section 1869, code Of 1906, the sherifi
has no authority to collect such tax
nor has the county authority to wori
the streets of the municipality. I'm
der sections 1859 and 4470, each mu
nicipality Is made separate road dis
trict, and here the case Of Blocker VS.

show that municipalities operating
under chapter 80, code 1906, have ex
elusive jurisdiction over the streets
within the corporate limits, and fail
ure to exercise the charter privileg
will not cause a forfeiture Of tn
charter rights, which makes 1t tn
duty of the municipality to maintai
the streets.

WHO Is RUNNING
THIS COUNTRY?
This List Makes 1t Seem
Like One 7. R.

Washington, July 11.-Who is
running this country, anyway" This
question is being asked peevishly by
Republican statesmen and officials Of
the Taft administration who remain
here.
For the first time in the history of
the nation the President of the United
States is overshadowed by a private
citizen. Never before IN the recollec-
tion of the most ancient politician has
the man who holds the highest public
office in the world been forced to play
second fiddle to a man who holds no
office at all. The situation is one that
rasps the friends of Mr.. Taft in Wash
ington and elsewhere. 1t is hard to
believe that the President himself has
50 little spirit as not to feel a sense sf
humiliation and resentment. There
are those who recall the Roosevelt
statement of a year and a half ago,
just after the election of Taft, to the
effect that his sole desire was to get
out of the limelight; that Taft was 10
nave a free hand; that this was to be
Tafts administration and that he,
Roosevelt, did not intend to interfere;
that for the benefit of his friend Taft
he proposed to eliminate himself 80
that Taft might have a clear field to
work out his own salvation. Thus
and more along the same line-did the
Colonel express himself before start
ing for the jungle. The generosity
ana completeness with which he kept
his word is being bitterly commented
ON now-in a whisper-by friends of
tAe titular President.
No better Illustration of the way in
which Roosevelt has eliminated him
self can be given than a comparison
Of the list of visitors to Oyster Bay
and to Beverly since June 2S-the day
on which Mr.. Taft opened up the sum
-mer capital here is the list:
OYSTER BAY-Gov. Charles f.
Hughes.
Senators-La Toilette, Henry Cabot
Lodge, Joseph L. Bristow, Thomas H.
Carter, Albert J. Beveridge.
C1ngressmen-Victor Murdoch, E.
S. Madison, Miles Poindexter, HamiI-
ton Fish, Nicholas Longworth.
Mesrs.-Lloyd Griscom, New York;
Robert Bacon, Gibson Gardner, F. "a.
NewiIl, Winston Churchill, Robert H.
Bass, New Hampshire; John Bass,
New Hampshire; Joseph R. Sheffield.
BEVERIY-M essrs.- trd A.
BaIlinger. Beckman Winthrop, Henry
c. Prick, John Hays Hammond. John
w Dwight.
To the Oyster Bay list should be
added several other names of men
whose visits were of no special pOlit-
| ieal significance. It does not include
the many persons of political prom
mence seen by the Colonel at tte Ous-
| look Office In New Work The BeverSx
] gRsst, however, does include all of tAi
! ne4sons President Taft has seem siae&
teaaving Washington, with the excegN
s8an of Mr. Roosevelt, who, with SEM
asor Lodge. called upon him two DAYS
after his arrival. The two lists would
seem to be a sufficient answer TO the
question, "Who is running the coun-
