CLAIM ATTORNEYS
SAVE COUNTY CASH
FIGHT ATTEMPT TO ABOLISH
Facts and Figures Being Prepared for
Voters Showing That This Is the
Case-Some Statistics From
Noxubee County.

Jackson.-In refutation of the asser-
ton that the office of county attorney
is q needless expense to taxpayers, and
greatly increases costs of criminal court
sessions, the incumbents of these offices
are preparing facts and figures from the
official records showing that instead OF
increasing the cost of administering jus
tice the office has actually reduced ex-
penses and therefore should not be abol-
ished.
Figures compiled in the county Of Nox-
ubee show that the cost OF five terms OF
court prior to the creation of the office
of attorney amounted to $14,6S5.10,
while for the five terms since the office
was created the costs have totaled only
$9,357.20, a reduction of nearly 40 per
cent. These figures apply only to Grim
inal cases.
So far as can be learned, no deter
mined fight viii be made in any county
at the general election on November
to abolish the office of county attorney
and the incumbents of that office are no
at all worried over the outcome OF tn
litigation now pending before the ST
preme court to pass on the constitution
atty of the legislative act referring tn
proposition of abolishing the office to
vote of the qualified electors.

Whether an Understanding Exists

Jackson.-State Revenue Agent Writ
Adams will put it up to the Cumber'

to show cause why that corporation
should not be held to the state for priv
ilege tax made and provided to be as
sessed against telegraph companies. The
law imposes a privilege tax on telegraph
companies and an altogether separate
and distinct privilege on telephone com
panies. If the Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph Company is a telegraph COM
pany doing business as distinct and sep
arate from its telephone traffic, then the

how It il that the corporation escapes
