Assessment OF Land Values.

Al the Collins court last week an
important legal question came before
Judge Hughes, and which will be OF
interest to the taxpayers OF Jones
county as we'll.
Certain property owners averred to
the Supervisors TO raise the asses
ment on land where the owners would
be willing to accept the price at which
1t was given IN to the Assessor,
Each have hundreds or aces of land
ia Covington County, some of which
they gave in at from 81 10 IS per
acre. The most of this is cut-over
lands, and when the Board met to
equalize the property values in the
County they raised all this land 10
So per acre. These parties claimed
that much of their land was not
worth 50 per acre aud stated to the
Court that they would be willing to
accept the price at which they gave
it in to the Assessor, and the Court
held that the Supervisors had not
producedE sufficient testimony to
sustained the contention of com
plainants, thereby leaving the Tax
collector authority 10 collect taxes
upon these certain lands according
TO the value placed upon them by
the owners. The section OF law up
on which this section is based IS
426s and is or shoulS always be
printed on the bottom OF all real
assessment biz nks and subscribed To

assessment. 1t is as follows:

To Raise Stock.

Our Jones county farmers have
wisely made up their minds to en-
gage In the raising OF beef cattle, and
are getting ready TO largely embark
10 the business. Several of our pros
porous farmers and citizens intend TO
purchase herds of blooded cattle and
viii devote great attention to the
business. Now that the tick is about
we can import improved
breeds of cattle and they win not be

summer and fall grazing, there is not
a finer field for making money in the
South than Jones county. Even as lats
as It is now, with several heavy
frosts, this grass is green and tiouish-
ing and stock need no other feed.
The price of beef Is advancing all the
while and there is big money in rails

Considerable interest is felt in the
charges made against Judge Johnson,
of this circuit, and while the Judge
has number of staunch friends, be
has also some bitter enemies. We
understand that the minist ers of Lau-
rel will organize an association and
give their endorsement and support
to the accused gentleman. They
claim that he has done great work
in uproot!ng blind tigers and break
ing up other dens of vice, and they
lion is reasonable fer the making of
those charges. But from what we can
gather, the most serious charge
against the Judge is that he insulted
the fairness of the people of Hatties-
burg aud Forrest county when he
gave change of venue to that negro
who killed child with his automo-
bile, and had the case transferred to
Jones county for trial. 1t is also
charged that Judge Johnson secured
posse ssion of the property of this
negro for less than its value, and so
an att mpt viii be made to Tx judi
cial corruption on him. Anyway, his
own home people are heading the
prosecution, and are btterest agai INST
him. So far as the bar of Ellisville
is concerned, it is unanimous in its
endorsement Of Judge johnson, we
think. Our citiz MS are also his
friends and admirers. 10 that bar
meeting, no rising vote or roll call
was made. but there were only two
lawyers voting against the resolution
of endorsement. But there is no
denying the fact that there is strong
minority opposition to judged Johnson,
and which will be developed when the
investigating committee meets. This
matter is to be regretted, for 1t matters
not what be the outcome, it must
greatly undermine the influence of
Judge Johnson while on the bench.
To have the support of public senti-
ment Judge, like unto Caesars wife,
must be above suspicion. Personally,
the Editor of this paper is an admirer
of Judge johnson. and we believe that
his vindicaton will be complete.
So far as we know, he has been a just
and upright Judge, and has certainly
done good work in bringing law
breakers TO punishment and breaking
up dens OF nfnmy and vice.

NEED OF THE "MUCKRAKER"
Term Should Not Be One of Reproach,
Since Work Is for the Common
Good of All.

What a confusion OF ideas there is
In our modern use Of the word muck
rakingi" 1t has been so wrested from
it's original meaning that John Bunyau
would not recognize it. In the great
~allegory the sordid pilgrim gave his
whole attention to the straws and rub
bish and ignored the angel above his
head. His conduct was reprehensible.
But today when a brave man lays bare
the corruption of a town or city it is
called Undertaking" and sometimes
frowned upon by e~ase-loving burghers,
when it is really ethical and social san
itation. Often the investigator brings
to our attention unpleasant facts; but
if they are facts we ought to be CRATE
full to him. Any man who warns US
when our house is aire or informs US
about some overlooked dis~ease-hreed-
ing refuse near our house, hat man
deserves our thanks. Why Witty the
person who is trying to prevent the
spread of disease, physical or social?
Undertaking" forsoothi Our protest
should be made not against the "r2k-
ing" but against the muck" And
muck or graft or i~neficiency must
first be pointed out before the cleans
ing can take place. Many cities of our
land have better public service today
because of the efforts of certain reso-
lutte muckrakers. We need more OF
this work rather than less. AS long as
there is muck, just 30 long let it be
raked out into view and condemned
and removed. Let the reformer rake
all the more bravely and thoroughly.
because he lifts his eyes now and then
and sees above his head the angel of
a municipal ideal.-Christian Register.

Time FOR US TO
ACT IN MEXICO
Foreign Power Gives That Hint
in Urgent Inquiry
CABINET DISCUSSING POLICY
Drastic Steps Thought Necessary to
Prevent Interference of European
Nations Which Have Interest
in Southern Republic.

Wash1ngton.-The turn in the with
OF conditions in Mexico for the wors
has brought about a situation that the
administration is finding it difficult to
meet. What confronts President Will
son is this:
The nations of the world are hold
ing the United States responsible for
the present state of affairs in the
Mexican Republic. These nations
have been told by their representa-
tives in Mexico that the failure of the
United States to recognize Gen. Vic
toriano Huerta, who succeeded to con-
troll following the assassination of
President Madero and Vice-President
Suarez, has prolonged the revolution
started months prior to the death Of
Madero, and has resulted in a reign
OF anarchy throughout the Republic.
One nation has informed the Ad-
minlstration, through the State De-
partment, that conditions in Mexico
have become chaotic. This nation has
put up to the President squareIy the
doSoIAOA. VAdI Is the OuIlGu SIdLGS
going to do about it,"
So alarming did the matter present
itself to the President and Secretary
OF State, that the Cabinet made it the
chief topic of discussion during the
two and a half hours it as in session.
For two hours President Wilson and
Secretary of State Bryan went over
the matter in detail. They conferred
over the notes sent to the powers by
their representatives in Mexico, and
the information the State Department
had received in the last few weeks
from Ambassador Wilson at Mexico
City and American Consuls through
wi the republic.
While it was impossible to ascer-
tain exactly what action the Presi-
dent intends taking, it was said in Ad-
ministrative circles that Mr.. Wilson
intends to direct Ambassador Wilson
and the United States Consuls
throughout Mexico to inform the lead
ers of ~all-factions, including that of
President Huerta, that fighting must
stop, and the lives and property of all
foreigners must not only be protected,
but that they must not be molested.
These nations have recognized Mex
leo: Great Britain, Spain, Japan, Sal
vador, Guatemala, China, Italy, Ger
many, Portugal, Belgium, Norway,
Russia and Austria-Hungary.
Furthermore, the British govern
ment has made representations 10
this government concerning Mexico,
thus for the first time breaking away
from the ~steadfast policy of all Europe
in leaving to the United States full
control of the situation in Mexico.

Sooner or later we find out that life

Ter we will discover that the world is

The Master does not mind that SO
much for it's own sake, for He likes to
see his children happy; but in our
playing we neglect our lessons. We
do not see how much there is to learn,
and we do not care. But our Master
cares. He has a perfectly overwhelm-
ing and inexplicabie solicitude for our
education; and because he loves us he
comes into the school sometimes and
speaks to US. He may speak very
softly and gently or very loudly. But
one thing we may be sure of: the task
