OF TIMELY INTEREST TO TAX
PAYERS

AS tax-paying time draws nigh,
says a special to the Commercial
Appeal from Jackson, it will be of
interest to the property owners of
Mississippi to learn that the attor-
ney general holds that no damages
can be collected on delinquent
property until the tax collector
does something to earn the dam
ages.
After December 18th unpaid tax
es become delinquent Heretofore
it has been customary with tax col
lectors to put the damages on all
property after date, whether taxes
were paid voluntarily or not. This
was not in accordance with the law,
but became a general custom, and
the law has been overlooked.
The effect of the attorney gener-
al's opinion is that the tax collector
cannot collect damages on. delin-
quent real estate until he advertises
same for sale. He cannot adver-
tise before Jan. Is next, and as this
date falls in the midst of heavy col
lections, it is not probable that he
can make up his advertising list by
that date. In any event, it means
that the real estate owner will have
30-day breathing spell after Dec.
Is. if it is not convenient to pay
by that date.
In the case of personal property
the tax collector cannot collect
damages after Dec. Is until hs
distrains for the property or makes
some physical effort to collect same
such as sending out a deputy.
Tax collectors are required tt
settle with repositories on the 25tf
of each month. y. therefore. tax
payers generally take advantage o
the 30-day period, and wait unit
Jan. Is to settle. these collections
will not be available to the treas
ury until Feb. 10.
Owing to the depressing condi
tions generally prevalent, especiall,
in the cotton growing sections. it il
most probable that the property
owners will take advantage of al
time possible to make their pay
ments.
The usual low ebb in the treas
ury at this season has been helped
out heretofore BY the sale OF state 4
cotton crop. but the cotton is being
held for better prices.

From The Coast Beacon.
Owing to the ever increasing tax
alton from which the people of Mis-
sissippi are and have been suffering
for some years back, there Is a
strong and growing sentiment in
many parts of the state to call a
halt; and to accomplish this end
numerous counties are considering
the advisability of doing away with
the county farm agents. home dem
onstration agents and county health
boards. There are many who are
vigorously opposing such a move
as reactionary and the heighth of
false economy; contending that the
need for these agencies during the
coming year will be felt more than
ever before. That the intent and
purposes of the law creating these
officials is accepted by all as a
move for the general benefit of the
people at large. and few. if any.
are to be found who are opposed to
such agencies If results can be
shown iustifying the expense. Some
counties have been fortunate in Sc
curing agents who have conducted
the work in such manner as to
make their employment one of the
best investments the county ever
made. while many others have not
been benefited at all, and the mon
ey paid out in salaries has been
practically wasted. In too many
instances young men from the ag-
ricultural colleges and young wo-
men from the training schools have

LATE Developments IN
MISSISSIPPI OIL FIELDS
Reports of New Discoveries and
Encouraging Prospects Heard
Almost Daily.

Numerous wells are being drilled
in Mississippi for oil. Prominent
among the number are those at
Charleston. Winona. Canton. West
Point, Columbus, Crawford. Oxford.
and Meridian. Several of these
wells are drilled into the thousand
foot depth and each of them show
traces of oil.
From Meridian comes the news
that oil had been found at depth
of near 1000 feet. and that the oil
flowed freely over the top, in pay
ing quantities.
At Okolona oil was found in
well on property of the Negro In
dustrial School of such high grade
that the editor of the Okolona Mes
senger stated in the last issue of his
paper that he had used it in crude
state to run his Delco lighting plant.
Indications of the presence of oil
are evident in numerous localities
of Monroe county. according to re-
ports of competent geologists. The
lands in this section are rapidly be-
ing leased, and at an early day
optimistic citizens are prophesying
that oil derricks will soon dot the
territory in this and adjacent
counties.
Could not enterprising landhold-
ers of this section cooperate and CO.
ordinate their lands. organize
stock company. capitalize their
leases and get drilling company
to exploit the field on a fifty-fifty
basis, or less !?
This is offered as a suggestion,
whereby our landowners, by CO.
operation and without the expeil-
diture of money, can safeguard the
under-surface wealth of their lands
and save to tatemselyes and their
heirs the riches that would develop
if the lands did yield oil.
This section needs leader with
energy, nerve. faith and judgment
to take care of the resources of the
territory and to preserve for the
people who own the lands here the
wealth that rightfully is theirs.

trees for borers. You will find the
borers just under the ground, or
perhaps on the trunk of the tree.
Remove the soil about three inch
es deep from around the tree and
examine it. If there are any bOTsTs
you will find a gum at the base Of
the tree, or also on the trunk which
shows the presence of borers. Take
your knife or a piece of wire and
dig them out. The bOrer is a little
white worm, about three-quaFtarg
of an inch long. Examine your
trees now and then again In the
spring. You may leave the dirt
away from the roots Of trees until
spring.

that. among other changes that

on the fourth of next March,
will be a change in the method
