The last session of the Mississippi
legislature in addition to electing
United States Senator passed a law
imposing tax on the countless
thousands of CANNES, well bred, pedi-
greed, ferocious, docile, common ours
and even 'yaller dawgs.' The tax
goes to the school funds of the county
and city in which it is paid and is
per capita or head $1.00 for male or
"boy dogs" and $500 for female or
gal dogs"
The tax is levied this year AMI pay
able when other taxes become due.
Some citizens of Hattiesburg and
Forrest county gave in their dogs with
their assessments, while others were
ashamed of theirs and listed them
not. However, be this evasion whether
intentional or not, the personal as
sessment roll of the county shows in
the city of Hattiesburg 299 boy dogs
and 1874 gal dogs, totalling 433 Of
these mans best frends-sometimcs
which means an addition to the city
school fund of $701, provided the tax
es are paid. In the county, outside
the city, are found 447 of the boy Va
riety and 1913 of the gentler sex, a to
tai of so with tax value of $Sl6.

Former Hattesbure Pastor Would
Be An Acceptable Choice-Prof.
j. C. Fant Of Meridian, Also
Mentioned. q.

The news that Prof. w. H. Smith !
has resigned the position of President
of the Mississippi Normal College will
be received in Hattiesburg as a sur
prise and with much regret by the
many friends of this distinguished
educator. Prof Smith has accom-
plished wonders as Inspector of Rural
Schools in Mississippi and much was
expected of him as the head of Missls-
sippi's new educational institution to
be opened in Hattiesburg next fall.s
Professor Smith in rendering his reslg-
nation to Governor Noel, which Is to
take effect Immediately, announced
his intention to remain in charge OF
the rural school work, where he no
doubt feels his field of usefulness to
the state is larger.
~ The position of President of the
Normal College is second to none in
Importance in the educational work OF
the state, and Mr.. Smiths place Will
be no easy one to fill. But since he
has resigned the position the Trustees
of the institution will select success
sor who will measure up to the re-
ouirements of the position and who
will no doubt be a worthy successor
to him. Just who will secure the
place is at this time a matter of con-
lecture, but there will likely be sew
eral well known educators of the
state apply for the position. In this
connection it may be said that the
friends of Rev. j. n. Mcmillan, who
recently removed to Jackson after
ably dlling the pulpit Of the Columbia
street Baptist church in this city fol
several months, and who was largely
Instrumental in Hattiesburg securing
the location of the Normal College IL
it's midst have started an aggressive
campaign to have him selected for th'
position of president of the college
The suggestion of Mr.. Mcmillan fo
the place has met with almost unan
imous approval by the citizens OF thi
h city for they know he is in every wa
} qualified to fill the position, and the
will leave no stone unturned to secur
the place for him. Mr.. Mcmillan ha
signified his willingness to accept tn
position if elected and may be consit
cred an avowed candidate.
No selection will likely be made III
til the trustees of the Normal Colleg
have carefully considered the quaiii
cations of the applicants. Hattiespur
will lay the claims of Mr., McMilla
before the trustees and send a stron
delegation of representative citizer
to urge his election.
