Mississippi today is registering its
vote for President, for a United States
senator, congressman, and on the Rich
ardson fish and game law
Contrary to expectations, the vote
to be cast in the state today will be
comparatively small, owing to the lack
of contests, and it is hardly likely that
$4,000 ballots will be cast during the
day.
In Hattiesburg and Forrest county,
the voters have been coming out since
S O'Clock in small numbers. The real
interest. however, is not apparent

Up to $3.50 O'Clock, there were Du

The work of voting is progressin

OFFICERS OF The WORA HOUSE

There will be very important meet
ing of the county road board on Mon
day, January 81, at which time the Off
GERS at the work house and the dis
trict road commissioners will be elect
ed for the coming year. One commits
sioner will be elected in each Of the
ten districts of the county TO serve for
the ensuing year. These officers are
most important cogs in the road ma
chinery of the county and there is
always much interest manifested in
their election.
1t is not improbable that there will
be a number Of changes in the person
mel of the district commissioners.
Some of the present officers are not
candidates for reelection Changes
are expected, among other district, in
the fifth and sixth.
For superintendent of the work
house, it is altogether probable that
John T. Akin will be again elected
without even suggestion of an oppo-
nent. Mr.. Akin has filled this post
for number of years and there is
no opposition to him. There will also
be the guards and other employees at
the work house to be chosen.
