The bill of Representative Wal

Representatives. providing for a
department Of the State govern
ment to direct the construction
of public highways would fill a
long felt want. While every in
terest of the State has met with
material progress, there has been
practically nothing done to con-
struct good roads. Every con-
ceivable road law. except one
that would permit the construc-
ton of good roads, found a place
in our Statute books. The people
have grown tired of the old time
mud road with a ditch on each
side and one in the middle, and
demand something better. A de-
partment with a competent engi-
neer to advise with the various
Boards of Supervisors of the
counties could furnish valuable
information to the people and
bring about a change in the
abominable system that has prov
en- such a miserable failure in the
past. Improved methods have
been introduced in every line OF
business except that of road
working and the old shovel and

hundred years on the roads
should find a place in the scrap

To the Tax Payers of the City of TupeTo:
At the regular February, 1912, meeting of
the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City
Of Tupelo, it was determined that under
Chapter 1S9, Acts of 1908, which is amend
atory of Section 3415, Code of 1906; and un-
der Section 3419, Code of 1906 it is not re-
quired that an election be held to determine
whether the proposed paving bonds shall be
issued and Sold unless twenty per centum of
the adult tax payers petition against the
issuance Of such bonds. No petition has been
filed against the issuance Of these bonds,
therefore under the law an election is not
necessary
Numbers of persons however, have, during
the last month asked me whether a petition
against the issuance of bonds was necessary,
and have informed them it was not: of course,
doing so in good faith Doubtless petition
against the issuance of these BONDS, except for
such statements made by me- would have been
filed; now the tax payers are hereby notified
that if they desire an election on the question
of the issuance of these bonds at least 20 per
cent OF them must file a petition with the
Mayor and Board Of Aldermen, protesting
against theis issuance, and this petition must
be filed on or before the next regular April,
1912, meeting of the Board.

P. E. CAROTHERS, Chm.
To the President of the Various
Boards of Confederate Pen
sions in Each and Every Coun-
ty in the State-Greeting:
| am directed by the Commit
tee on Pensions of the House of
Representatives, to call your at
tention to the fact that great
abuses and violations of the Pen
sion Law have been enacted in
the past few years. Pensioners
have been placed on the roll IN
violation of the pension laws that
have been enacted in the past for
the benefit OF INDECENT Confeder-
ate soldiers, sailors and their
widows.
Pensioners have been put in
classes one and two who are not
entitled to be put in these class
es. See Section 1856 of the Code,
which states clearly who are en-
titled to be in these two classes.
Also, we find that widows of
Confederate soldiers have been
put IN the second class who have
only defective eyesight, caused
by advancing age, and VINO are
not blind according to the Code.
(See Sec 1856, Chap. 108 of the
Code of 1900. They are not en-
titled to be in this class and re-
ceive S75. We also desire to state
that the word servant" has been
construed to mean those negroes
who actually went to the front
and waited on a Confederate SOL
dier while in the actual service
of the Confederacy, (See Sec.
1856, Chap. 1903 of the Code of
19O6), and are required to make
applications for pensions the
same as required to be made by
the Confederate soldiers, sailors,
etc., (See Sec. 1856, Chap. 108,
Code 1860. We believe the laws
now in force are ample to pre-
vent any person being placed on
the roll who does not belong
there, or to be placed in higher
class than he is entitled to, and
we urge you to carry out the
law, so that the INDECENT Confed-
crate soldier may be cared for.
Our Pension Committee, when
it meets in 1914, will rigidly ex-
anime the roll of pensioners, and
will endeavor to prosecute all Of
Tenders of the Pension Law.
We desire to call attention Of
the various Chancery Clerks of
the counties (See Sec. 1861, Chap.
lO8, Code 1906) to deliver all ap-
plications for pensions to the
grand juries, and call their at
tention to the fact that tits made
their duty to inquire into the
merits of each application, and if
improperly allowed, to report
their names to the Chancery
Clerk, who shall drop their names
from the pension roll, and report
same to the Auditor. And we
respectfully ask that the Circuit
Judges of the State charge the
grand juries in reference to this,
and see to it that they discharge
their duty in regard to this to
