SALARY SYSTEM TO BEGIN
NEXT YEAR.


The newly elected sheriff, asses
sor, chancery and circuit clerks Of
this county will not be paid on a
fee basis.
Commencing January l, these
officials all over the state will be
paid fixed salaries and allowed to
employ certain number Of depu-
ties, all Of whom will be paid out
of the county funds.
In the past these officials have
been given fees and have employ
ed their own deputies. Accord.
ing to reports on this system the
sheriff's office in some counties
has been highly lucrative and Ger.
tain it is that no sheriff or chan
Gerry clerks job ever went begging
According to reports the bill
passed four years ago changing
from fee system to a salary bas.
is for county officials is in some re-
spects defective and it is said the
legislature will be forced to make
certain amendments before the
county officials can draw their sal
aries.
It is probable too, from reports,
that the law-making body will be
asked to increase salaries in some
counties due to increased cost of
living in the past four years.

The Mayhaven Stock farms have
cleaned up with prizes in the Du-
roc-Jersey exhibitions at the Me-
ridian Fair this week, according
to announcement received last
night when George H. Mackey,
one of the partners In the farm,
wired George w. May, the other
partner, that King" the big prize
winning boar, had won the cham
pionship and all the sows had
been declared champions. Prac-
tically all hogs entered by the
Mayhaven interests took prizes ia
the delight Of all concerned. This
herd raised close to Jackson, won
many handsome awards at. the
Tri-State Fair at Memphis and

INTERESTING COMPARISONS.

Representative Blanton of Tex
as, is credited with having. made
the following interesting state
ment on the floor of the house:
Freight engineers are now re-
ceiving $392.35 month, passen-
ger train engineers $376.85 ac-
cording to Mr.. O'Donnelps letter,
and yet the governor of Texas re-
ceives only $333.33, and a colonel
in the army the same amount.
Freight conductors receive $313.-
9O,and passenger conductors $308.
55, which is more than a lieuten-
ant-coloneps pay Of $291.66, a ma
jor's of $3.50, and a captains of
$2O8.33. It seems to me that many
other people have more justifca-
ton in striking than railroad men
have"

HELP THE MAN WE HAVE.

There have been in the past a
number of tata-wide organiza-
tions in Mississippi with purposes
of general nature; some of them
rood and some not so good, but
the Mississippi Land Owners AS
sociation undoubtedly has the
right idea in view, Help the Man
We Have"
When the people of our state
are prosperous and happy, when
our fields and pastures are pro-
ducing Of the worlds needs and
the farmers and stockmen are re-
ceiving fair price for their pro-
ducts, the towns and villages will
be correspondingly prosperous
and tn edanger of anarchy and
/ bolshevism as for as we are local
ly concerned is very slight.
The land owners referred to in
this organization is, not only the
big man with a plantation, but the
little fellow within forty acres and
Q mule as we'll. It also includes
the man who would own a little
piece of land and make a home fol
himself and family. It is primar.
lily intended to help the small man
get home.
It is intended to help the man
we have in every legitimate man
ner. Help him to make his place
= going concern. Help him tt
stock it with good cattle, hogs
sheep, etc. Help him to market *
the best advantage what he has t.
sell. Help him to make conditions
around home pleasant for th'
family. Help him to get goot
schools and church advantages.
A state with such . citizen
ship would be the pride of . m
tion. and Mississippi should by 81
means be that state. Further i'm

ions of the organization can pe
had by addressing H. e. Blakeslee,
Chairman of the organization
committee, Gulfpor.
Mr.. Blakeslee was for many
years State Commissioner of Agri-
culture and has an Intimate know
ledge of the problems confront
ing our people and the means OF
solving them. Although private
citizen now, he is still deeply in
terested in the welfare of our peo-
pie and will continue to aid them
in every way possible.
"The man who owns his home
and is surrounded by happy
family will never become an an
archist or bomb thrower." This
statement in the literature of the
Mississippi Land Owners Associa-
tion is absolutely true. We may
sometimes think that we are lack
ing big industrial centers in Miss
issippi, and that we are losing
thereby, but it is likely an asset
after all to have few of them. The
serious trouble being experienced
throughout our country is largely
due to unrest and dissatisfaction
among people who do not own
their own homes and live from
hand to mouth, although receiving
big wages.
If the Mississippi Land Owners
Association can, as the result OF
ten years of earnest work, show
that the percentage Of home own
ers in our state has increased ten
or fifteen per cent, the effort will
be well worth while. A state Of
home owning, law abiding, God
fearing people will always be
state of prosperity, contentment
and happiness.

of our state one Of home owners, i
