TAXING TIMBER HOLDINGS.

Bilbo's pet plan of raising million
and half of revenue for the State by
levying an annual privilege tax or occu-
patton fee upon all persons, business
firms, or corporations owning or hold
ing more than 1000 acres of timber
lands could not fail to find condemna-
ton because of the essential unfairness
of the scheme.
An excellent discussion of the subject
is the following from the Vicksburg
Herald, which takes the lieutenant
governor to task:
"The Herald has no timber land own
ing kin, or interest whatever therein.
We do not even feel any throbs OF SYM
pathy in the squeals of these yellow
pine lumber extortioners, when they
feel the knifa. But to hew to the line
of Justice and truth, "let the chips fall
where they may" is always good state
policy. Is this bill drafted on such
lines? "The large Northern syndicates
such as the Hines group and others" is
a good catch phrase of prejudice, and
class hostility. But do not the statis-
tics. the whole face of the land in
Southeast Mississippi belle the state
ment that they have "retarded devel-
opment? ?' Is it not rather picture OF
remarkable development that is shown
by comparison of the present figures
of population, of assessed values, OF
railroad mileage, of manufacturing and
farm products, with what these were
when these Northern syndicates, etc.,
came into the State and started the ball
of progress rolling? The most casual
inspection, in fact, the knowledge OF
every Southeast Mississipian of COM
mon Information, will make this con-
cession.
BY all the reports, the Northern
syndicate" etc., are paying taxes like
other property owners; and, according
to common report, upon a pretty heavy
rate of assessment. Shall they, in fair
ness and equity, be made to pay more :?
If there is climber trust, let it be
proceeded against under our State laws,
which provide practically confiscatory
penalty. But let not the siren song OF
a million and a half of revenue tempt
the State to resort to this questionable
occupation tax; at least, not under the
idea that it is dealing with public ene-
mics; or under the power OF the steam
roller.

There was no better known base ball
team last season than the billiard nine,
and none more popular or won more
games.
This year the billiards have reorgan-
lied, with John A. billiard as manager,
but they will be known as the Dining
Car Coffee Team, after the famous pro-
duct manufactured by the American
Coffee Company, OF Gulfport. The
company says there is no better coffee
made, and Mr.. billiard is of the opinion
that no better team hereabo uts will
exist.
The Echo has been authorized to
state that the Dining Car Company is
ready to challenge any team between
New Orleans and Mobile. /,
All challenges should be addressed
to j. A. billiard, P. o. Box 221, Bay
ST. Louis, Miss. We understand there
will be game here tomorrow.
The lineup is as follows: A. Price,
M. Higgins, F. Monti, H. Colson, Joe
McGinn, L. Summers, F. Tudury, V.

are only paid when the work is actually
performed according to contract, and
then only after inspection and accept
ance of such work, the opportunity for
fraud is far less than with the present
system, when the matter of working the
roads is submitted to unbonded indi-
viduals, and who are paid salaries for
the time put in, and not for the work
actually performed according to a re-
quired standard. If there should be
fraud under the contract system, the
loss would then fall on the contractor
who has permitted it, and not on the
county under the present arrangement.
In our opinion, the continuance of the
present system of working the roads will
result in the financial ruin of the county.
We have inspected the jail of the
county and found same well kept and
cleanly. However, we do not think
that the Jail is safe for the keeping of
dangerous criminals.
We have inspected the books of the
various county officers and found same
correct and well kept, SO far as our in
vestigation disclosed.
In conclusion, we beg to thank the
court and the various county officers for
the courteous treatment and assistance,
and now, having reported our labors,
we beg to be discharged.
Respectfully submitted this 18th day

FLOWERS NOW IN PERCUSSION LOOP TO REPLACE Bu1IoN
Delightful Table Decorations Are Eas-
lily Possible at This Favored
Time Of Year.

With the return of the flowers
comes the desire to have the table
decorated with some arrangement of
blossoms.
1t is rather an expensive PROPOSE
ton during the winter, but flowers at
this season are Inexpensive; or we
may call upon the woods and fields to
provide bouquets for the table.
An effective decoration is to fill a
bowl with moss and arrange snow
drops and crocuses as If they were
growing in their native home.
The bowl should be shallow and
wide. Twenty snowdrops and few
violets are enough to fill the bowl.
They are more effective when not
clustered.
Small glass or china troughs may
be purchased for the purpose of deco
rating the table
Each of these is an arc OF quar-
ter circle, and may be arranged 10
form many designs. Shortstemmed
flowers, pansies. violets, lilies-of-the-
valley.
The center or corners of a table are
the proper places for flowers. Qnanti-
lies of vases and holders, narrow and
shapely. are made for the purpose OF
holding cable flowers.

ADVANTAGE OF RUGS
EASY TO SEE THEIR SUPERIORITY
OVER CARPETS.
Excellent Floor Coverings May q.
Purchased at Moderate Prices
Llnoleum for tho Kitchen and
Bathroom Is Important.

II ought not to be necessary IN
point out wherein rugs have the ad.
vantage over carpets. Tackled down
floor coverings are no longer coun.
tenanced by thoughtful people.
But" somebody may object. "the
cost OF replacing carpets by rugs Ia
too expensive an item to consider"
Perhaps so, II attempted all at once
but If brought about gradually It will
not seem heavy burden. There are
substitutes for the more costly rugs
for sale at moderate prices.
The washable cotton rugs for use in
the bathrooms or even bedrooms viii
appeal to the woman of modest means.
While combining practicability and
cheapness, they are attractive at the
same time.
The so-called grass" coverings
should not be overlooked in this mat
ter of desirable floor furnishings
Nearly all the department stores carry
them, and the larger firms have mail
order department always at the
ready service of the out-of.town Gus.
toner.
Again, handsome and durable rugs
may be made of odds and ends of old
carpets This work can be placed in
the hands of certain manufacturers
who make speciality of It, or the
weaving can be done at home.
Just word in regard to one OBJ.
lection brought against rugs of light
weight-namely, their tendency to
curl up around the edges. To coun.
teract this difficulty there are rug
fasteners compact little devices
consisting of fiat-headed pins to
he nailed to the floor, with correspond.
ing metal hooks which are slipped
over them after being attached to the
rug.
The subject of kitchen and bath,
room linoleums is an important one.
Get as good quality as your purse
will allow; it Will pay In the end. The
inlaid variety in which the pattern
remains intact as long as there is
anything left of the linoleum itself
will give far better service than the
printed kind, which looks well only as
long as the surface remains in fair
condition. AS a good preservative. two
coats OF good floor varnish may be
given the linoleum.

Hats are still claiming much atten-
tion, the black straws edged with
white, or with white crowns among
the most expensive OF them. Hemp
hats and chips are more costly than
the Neapolitan straws, and black IL
the popular tone. Large hats are fa-
vorites, but small ones are so useful
they cannot be displaced. Pink hemp
hats, also black hemp, combined with
deep rose color are good sellers.
These may be trimmed with pink ros-
es or with blue forget-me-nots and
black velvet ribbon in streamers and
loops. Among millinery novelties is
