eral residents.
The preachers actions, so 1t is al

neighbors, and they demanded that he
leave. His house was burned, and he
then took up his residence with the
Grissoms.
Some weeks ago the preacher was
taken out at night By gang of white

Grissom was notified to have the
man leave. His departure was delayed,
and one end of the drissom home was
dynamited. 1t proved to be nothing
serious, however.
Bloodhounds were secured, but as
yet no trace of the guilty party, or
parties, has been discovered.

completed Meridian & Memphis rail-
road, from Meridian, northwest to
Union, in Newton county, and thence
as the Jackson & Eastern west to
Sebastopol, near the Scott-Leake coun-
ty border, will be thrown open to traf.

is believed that once within a short
distance of Leake county 1t will not
be long before the railroad locomotive

making itself heard within the present
rock-ribbed and railwayless county of
Leake, thus depriving it of the distinc-

state without railroad facilities.

Fight on state Tax Board.

Mississippis new state board of tar
equalization has rocky road to trav-
ell. A test of its powers is soon to be
made before the supreme court. and II
that tribunal fails to impose the re-
strictions sought, referendum elec-
tion to vote the organization out of ex-
istence is probable.
Antagonism to the state board of
equalization is due chiefly to the fact
that horizontal raise of personally
assessments, affecting practically ev-
cry county in the state, was recently
ordered. and the taxpayers who are
now going to the county seats to set
tie their annual obligations are indulg-
ing in bitter complaints in many in
stances double what they expected to
pay.
The supreme court test of the pow
ers of the state board of equalization
comes in the shape of an appeal made
by the First National Bank at Hatties-
burg in which the contention is made
that the body is without authority to
review the findings of the board of SUI
pervisors in assessment matters. The
contention is also made that the stat
ute creating the board is unconstitu.
tional.
Thus far no organization has been
formed for the movement to carry the
issue to the polls, and it is hardly prob
able that this will be done until the
supreme court passes on the test case.
II that tribunal should hold that the
state board of equalization is acting
within its rights, then 1t is practically
certain that in each county petitions
will be circulated, directed to the Sec
retary of state. asking that an elec-
tion be ordered on the subject, which
can be done If 5000 signatures are
secured.
Opponents of the state board of
equalization are encouraged to believe
that they can defeat the measure at
