Meeting Of Supervisors at Mississippi
State Fair.

Jacksonville annual meeting of
the Mississippi Association of county
boards of supervisors will be held here
on October 25 and &c, the first two
days of the state fair While there will
be no road demonstration work, as has
been the case hitherto, the subject Of
road making and road government and
the application of the multifarlous
road laws of Mississippi will doubtless
figure very extensively in the proceed
organization, further legislation has
been enacted, dealing with roads, most
important among them being the An
derson act, which authorizes the issue
of bonds for the improvement of roads,
such bonds and such work to be issued
and carried on in individual supervis-
O-s' districts, without regard to the
attitude of the people and taxpayers
of the other districts who are not bur-
dened with the additional taxation.
The United States department of az
riculture has promised to send one Of
it's experts to attend this supervisors
meeting, and this of itself is a feature
that will attract many county super
visors, as the good road fever has at
tackled the people of the state gener-
ally, regardless Of their attitude as to
measures and methods in highway de-
velopment.

RAIL STRIKE IN FRANCE
Troops on Guard at Stations of the
Northern Railroad.

All the employees in France of the
Northern railroad struck and the tie
up of the system is practically com
plete. Trains for Calais and Cologne
only are moving.
Several acts of violence occurred be-
fore daylight At ST. Quentin the
tracks were torn up. Two locomo-
tives collided at Terginer and OBJ
structed the main track.
During the forenoon all stations on
the Northern road were taken posses
sion of by troops and police. Most of
the men who continued working were
from the provinces and simply took
opportunity to return home on their
trains before joining the strike.
The strike developed in the night
and took the company and the public
by surprise. The demands for better
pay and conditions originated with the
nder-trainmen, the baggage handlers
and ticket takers, but they were sup
ported by the complete personnel, as
every branch of the service has some
grievance.
The strikers threaten to draw to
their support the employees of the state
railroad lines. It is said the total num-
Der involved in the strike may reach

Uniformity of Classification Brings
Heavy Loss of Revenue to State.

Heavy Loss of Revenue to State.
The assessed valuation of the rail-
roads Oh AlIsslasippi shows decrease
OF S4G.UJO DIS compared with last year,
due TO a reclassincation on many Of
the small lines In the state, and estaD-
lishing a uniformity of assessment to
conform to otter states.
This is a tremendous decrease, but
it is regarded as a fair one, since the
Mississippi valuations are about the
sane as nearly all othern Southei q
states for the same class of roads. The
Illinois Central assessment, which was
regarded as too high last year, was re-
duced TO $4,000 instead of $21,00O,
but addi ional lines and other improve
ments made by the Illinois Central
MAKES its assessed valuations about
the same as last year. 81.

will receive $2O6,01S.7O in taxes from

GRAND JURY INDICTS
IN COAL LAND CASE
Secretary BaIIInger Reports Ac-
tl0n In Seattle Wash

After inquiry on the part Of the
officials working under the direction
of R. A. Ballinger, secretary of the
interior, the government has secured
indictments against man. who are
charged with conspiracy to defraud in
connection with valuable coal lands in
Alaska. The indictments were re-
turned by the federal grand jury sit
ting at Seattle. Announcement to this
effect was made following the return
of Mr.. Ballinger to Washington.
The men indicted are c. T. Munday,
A. H. Stracey, Archie w. Shields and
E. e. Seigler, who are identified with
what Is known as the English, or Stra-
cey group; also Cornelius Christopher,
George Simmons and Mortimer Swee-
ney, all Of whom have been active with
the Christopher-SimmondS group,
which has been diligent in it's efforts
to acquire coal lands in Alaska
Munday lives in Seattle He is
lawyer Of prominence and q man of
considerable wealth. Stracey is Can
adian. He makes his headquarters in
British Columbia and has been in the
Alaska field for a long time.
The men named are charged with
violations Of the law that prohibits
the acquisitions Of public lands
through the medium of dummy entry
men," 1t will set forth in the indict-
ment that the men against whom in
dictments were sought had induced
certain persons to make entry with
the agreements that their interests
would be turned over to the respective
groups Immediately upon the issuance
of patents by the secretary Of interior.

MOULD REcoUP TREASURY.
Reason fer Gov. NoePs Anxiety to Sell
State Cotton


Jackson.-Gov. Noel is very anxious
that the states cot on be put on the
market with as little delay as possi-
Bile, not because he would see the cot
ton sold and out of the way, so much
as to replenish, the depleted sta,e
treasury and so meet the obligations
of the state, which are urgent. 1t is
estimated that at a con. .ervative calcu-
lation the cotton now on hand and
ready for market on the several farms
would, II turned into cash, realize ap-
proximately from $4,000 to $4,000.
That amount OF cash in the treasury,
while it would scarcely meet all the
Indebtedness, would at any rate help
the fiscal officers along considerably,
and between that income and the pro-
ceeds from bond sales would tighten
the burden until taxes begin to reacl
the repositories along In November
and December.
A very reasonable and plausible ar
gument in favor of getting in the
money when it can be had lies in the
fact that there is doubt whether the
expected advance in price would off
set the accumulated interest on the
money that the governor might be
forced to borrow in case of an emer-
gency. This being the case, it Is quite
within the range Of probability that
some portion at any rate of the seven
hundred and more bales on hand will
change hands before long.
The first heavy draft will come when
the pension warrants are sent out to
the counties from the auditors office,
which will be during the early part of
November, which means a draft OF
100000, and 1t is expected that some
delays will be experienced in the cash
ing of the pension warrants by the
county treasurers, as they will proba-
bly, not have the funds with which to
meet them. This after all will be a
case OF repeated history, as under the
law the pensions fall due JUS at the
time of the year when "Old Miss" is
not in funds.
