Bishop J. NJ. Conner, D. d., of Lit
tie Rock, Ark, handled the lazy, lag
gard whiskey drinking preacher with
out gloves at the opening of the sec
ond days session of the Mississippi
African Methodist conference Thurs
day at Port Gibson, and said that be-
fore he left the state there would be
some men out Of employment.
The South is the home of the
American negro, the Southern white
people are our best friends, and we
should stick to them, and / am sure
that they are going to stick to u.s."
said the bishop. eve have lived
side by side in this country for over
two centuries, and since our emanci-

us to go in business, have helped
some of US to buy the plantations
where once we served as slaves.
They have provided free schools for
our children, and some of them now
are professional men and women.
What more could we expect. / am
glad that we can all thank God to-
day."

ASSESSMENT OF STANDING TIM
Der.

The Vicksburg Herald, after quot
ing our article of last week on the
assessment Of standing timber by the
State Revenue Agent, makes the fol-
lowing pertinent comments:
As the editor OF the Yazoo City
Herald was member Of the legis-
lature that passed the law in ques-
ton, the above Is taken as a correct
statement OF facts. While ignorance
OF the law is no excuse, pulling such
card as above described out OF Ire
state revenue agents sleeve and on
the unsuspecting small farmer" and
in this time of cotton distress" is q
real hardship. The usual and almost
the sole use of the timber Of the srnait
farm at least before the boil wee,1.
came-has been for fencing and other
improvements Of the farm, from year
to year. Devoted to such purposes,
standing timber possessed no market,
or assessable, value, separate from the
land. With the construction the rev
enue agent has ferreted out OF the law,
forcing that which yields no revenue
to pay special tax, sales OF timber
will be forced which 1t is the policy
of the thrifty owner to conserve for
the current demands Of his own farm.
The assessment complained Of
seems remarkable as a first inclusion

least chiefly, limited to spelling the

striction was not without avail, We

were made to impress the legislature

uses, it has been cried down as
the squeal of the tax dodger. lnva-
riably the fruits were cited as tend
