TURNER-JACOBSON BILL

Dear Picayune:
 I have read the Turner-Jacob- son Revenue Bill, and I think it will be the most Unpopular meas ure passed in many years if it be- comes a law. It will create more trouble between assessor and tax payer than a little and it will work untold burdens on the peo- pie. It is entitled An act to Reduce the Rate of Taxation, :" But that is misleading; it should be entitled, An Act to Increase Taxes and Create Confusion. !" There are many features of this law that 1 cannot explain m a Newspaper article: but have a copy of the law in my office, which l will be glad to explain to any one desiring information about it.
 This law was passed by the last legislature but does not go into effect until the 8th day of September, and during the time if is so suspended under the in- initiative and referendum pro- vision of our constitution, peti- tions may be filled with the Sec retary of the State to refer the measure to the people to be voted on at the next general election, and at that election if a majority of the voters voting on that question vote for the measure it then becomes a law; but if a majority of such voters vote against the measure it becomes null and void.
 This Is a measure in which every tax payer in the state is interested and one which, when they understand, they will be glad they voted against.
 have some petitions in my office which if any one desires to sign, they may do so, any day this week.
 Yours truly,
 J. o. A. Bush.

THE PREACHER'S SNAP

And now I'll write my ser mon" the preacher said, per plexed, If 1 can but determine upon a fruitful text. He took his pen and started his labors to pursue; woman, broken-hearted came in and wept a few; and when he had consoled her, and shooed her from his den, en- outraged and told her to call around again, this news to him was carried-a pair of country folks were waiting to be married. Of course the groom was broke. And having duly spliced 'em, and blessed them from his door, he shook his brains and iced 'em and tried to write some more. The telephone is ringing. summons sharp and clear. His paper from him flying, he bends attentive ear. The voice of some one cry ing comes sobbing o'er the wire:
 "Old Quackenbush is dying come quick, ere he'll expiren!, And when that errand's ended, and to his little den, his weary way he's wended, and seizing his trusty pen. a large donation par ty comes smiling to his shack, with greetings loud and hearty, and pattinfis on the back. They gave him carpet slippers and had made woolen caps. and galvaniz- ed tin dippers, and other useless traps.

IN MEMORTAM

Tt matters not what hour of the day the Righteous fall asleep. D cath canno come to untimely who is fit to die.
 The less of this cold world, the more of Heaven-the brief-or life the earlier immortality.
 Thus would we think of the seemingly untimely death of our beloved Co., worker, Mrs. Hesterly White.
 She was devoted and faithful member of our Sunday School re- joicing in its work and ever ready to make the sacrifice that is nec- essary for a mother to make in order to set before her children an example of faithfulness and punctuality.
 She was a devoted wife end mother with a sunny disposition and a pleasant word for every one.
 RESOLVED, that we express to the bereaved husband. children and other relatives our sincere condolence and commend them to the love and protecting care of Him, "who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb"
 That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the Sunday School, a copy of same be furnished the bereaved family and a copy be given to each of the town papers with the rquest to publish same.

NO" "GUMSHOE" CANDIDATE

The questions propounded by MT. Bryan and sent out to the different aspirants for the demo- cratic nomination for the presl- dency next year have provoked considerable discussion. Cover nor Marshall of Indiana was the first one to respond to Mir. Bryan's list of questions. He answered them to the satisfaction of most democrats. The reactionary element at Washington ridiculed Mir. Bryan smove and denounced it as the method of 8 dictator. The truly democratic contingent there applauded the step.
 One of this latter class is Repre- sentative Robert Lee Henry of Texas, who is chairman of the house committee on rules. In discussing the move MT. Henry had this to say of the situation:

Hon. E. F. Friedell, of Miller County, was in Hope yesterday explaining to some of our people the beauties C.? of the Turner Jackson revenue bill. The gentleman could hardly say any, thing reasonable against that bill we would not endorse. If there are any good features to the measure some one ought to be able to tell what they are. but we have not heard them so far. We believe a general canvass of the county would secure the signature of 9 out of 10 voters to the peti- tions being circulated. Hope Gazette.
 We confess that we do not understand what the Turner Jackson bill is as we have not read it, but to say the least of it, there could be no harm in leaving 1t to a vote of the people. Governor Donaghey howled around over the state two years ago that the people could be trust ed on any and all questions, but now he is bowling because some body wants his pet law referred to the people.

Fly MRS. NJ. l. HOsKINs

Florence, November 29.--(SpeciaD The true hero is not always born to the mu- sic of the fife and drum in the hour of national peril, there are heroes today, in the humber walks of life, where sac rifces are unsung, where strength to do the right thing is never blazoned to the hero worshipping world. Way up at the Hollywood mission, in the Huntsville dis trict of the North Alabama conference, lives a. Methodist preacher, who has caught the vision of sacrifice, which is always followed by hard work bravely he has bent his back to life to fit the heavy load. His support comes from the mis-
 sionary board, as the people with whom he has labored are too poor to pay a pastor. He has wife and six children. They have lived on much less than $500 during the past F months. This present day hero has done the hardest kind of pioneer work, has organized new church. es, at one point built a church costing $2400, the pews costing $500.

COLORED FAIR NOW
 ON AT SNOW HILL
About Six Hundred Negro Farmers and Wives Inspect Exceedingly
 Creditable Exhibits

snow Hill. November 29.-(Special)- About 600 negro farmers. with their wives and children, attended the opening of the second annual Negro Farmers fair, which is being held here under the aus dustrial institute. They have brought with them exhibits of corn, potatoes, tur- nips, various garden products. canned goods. cotton. cane and other articles of womans handiwork,
 In the opening address Principal William J. Edwards spoke to the farmers frankly counsellng them to buy farms, own homes and learn to farm in a more sys- tematic and scientific manner. He de- clsred that much of the high cost of living was due to the neglect of the farm, to the failure to raise sunicient food products, and that many of the people in the congested cities were paying heed Ito the 'back to the farm" slogan.
 In his remarks, he said:
 eThe available farming lands in all parts of the country are being sough, by persons who are anxious to better their condition in life. l wonder if this awakening has reached you! You have cme to this fair to show that you ate not unmindful of the things that are happening: to learn from others how tC better your surroundings. to receive fresh courage and inspiration that you may make your lives more wholesome and five better than ever before"
