TREAS. EDWARDS
Sent A LETTER
TO THE governor
New Phase OF Bond Controversy May
Come up.-Extra Session
Probable.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 20.-A ten-day
extra session of the Mississippi legis.
lature will cost the state $4,000. That
is the estimate placed upon the pros
pective extra session by those who are
in position to appreciate the financial
outlay necessary to get the lawmakers
together for session.
An appropriation or revenue act
must be passed five days before ad-
journment, and as an appropriation
would be necessary at the extra SEES
sion, it could not get through with
this in ten days.
But Governor Noel is determined to
call an extra session, If the supreme
court sustains the contention of the
state treasurer.
There has been no new develop
ment in the controversy since the Gov
ernor gave out his interview Wednes
day, but it is said Mr.. Edwards is pre-
pairing to issue a statement in which
he will quote from a letter he claims
to have sent Governor Noel last fall
before the bonds were sold, carbon
copy of which he retained.

$1,000 for the Parker building and
$1,000 on the other building, which

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 20.-Unless

sissippis list of poll tax delinquents
on February l is going to be much
larger than usual, despite the fact that
this is campaign year, with elections
to be held for all state, county ana

Reports from over the state show
that the percentage of unpaid poll tax
es is very much larger than usual, and
in some counties not exceeding one
third of the persons assessed with this
obligation, which is essential to sui
frage, have made payments.
Kinds county, for instance, is shy
now of 1900 white poll tax payers.
