[. S. WILLIAMS ANNOUNCES
FOR REPRESENTATIVE.

liams for the honorable position
of representing Rankin county
in the State Legislature, subject
to the action of the Democratic
party.
Mr.. Williams was born in the
southwestern part Of the county
about IS years ago. His edu-
cational opportunities were made
by his own hard labor, and by
his persistent efforts to equip
himself for the problems and re-
sponsibilities of life, he succeed
ed in obtaining liberal educa-
ton. which he has put to good
use in the schools rooms OF his
native county, teaching our boys
and girls the higher ideals of
life, and in developing their
conception of their religious and
civic duties.
For the past six years he has
been citizen of the eastern part
of the county, having bought a
home a few miles north of Pela-
hatchie, where, during the vaca-
ton of the schools, he devotes
his time to farming.
Mr.. Williams says he is max
ing the race strictly on his own
merits-has no i'll will against
any man, and is asking the suf-
frage of the people upon the
measures and principles for
which he stands.
He believes the office of the
state revenue agent should be a.
polished and the duties of looking
after the revenues conferred up
on the Sheriffs of the various
counties; that all officers should
receive a salary commensurate
with their duties and response
bilities and the present fee sys-
tenn in office abolished; that the
Boards of Supervisors have too
much authority he would
make determined effort to
abridge their authority and
bring them within the proper
limits; he would seek to change
the present law with reference
to the issuance of bonds so as to
make it imperative upon the adj
vocates of a bond issue in any
| counts county or district to obtain by
se.;;t;o,a a majority of the names
of the qualified electors Of any
such county or district before
the Board of Supervisors could
proceed to issue bonds, and in
case of objection by 20 per cent
of the qualified electors an cleo
ton to be held, and no county or
district could hold more than one
election a year on the same prop
osition; he also believes that the
present system of inspecting
public roads by the members Of
the Board at So a day is a farce
and a reflection upon the intel
ligence of the people; he is es-
pecially determined to bring
about a better plan for counties
of the state to care of their pau
pers and county convicts he
declares that the present system,
taking Rankin county as an ex-
ample, will bring every county
in the state into bankruptcy.
Mr.. Williams also would favor a
law to exempt from further ex-
animation all teachers who have
successfully passed one examina-
ton and secured a first grade
teachers license. Going to the
county capital every year to be
re-examined is a needless trouble
and expense.
There are many other reforms
that Mr.. Williams believes are
needed, which he will take pleas
ure in presenting to the people
in his speeches which he will
make in every section of the
