WHAT THE STATE
LEGISLATURE is DOING
Some Of the Important Things Which
is Coming Up for Consideration Be-
fore the Law-Makers.

The legislature voted this week to
increase the pay of its members $3.50
per session. Under the provisions Of
the constitution, the salaries Of the
legislators cannot be increased, but
this provision was circumvented by
calling the increase a Contingent
fund. The total increase VIII cost
the state for this session about $751;
600.
The salaries Of all officialshave been
increased.
The House has killed the Senate
compulsory education bill. Il wants
the proposition submitted to the voters
The legislators who took such an
active part in voting down the woman
suffrage amendment viii have to reck-
on with the wonnen's influence at home
when they offer for reelection. The
women have them spotted.
It is very difficult to keep up with
the law-making body. When a bill
passes one branch it must go 70 the
other for consideration. If it passes,
IN all probability it VIII have amend
ments. Then it must 60 back from

ROADS, CONSTRUCTION
OR OBSTRUCTION

Roads, The biggest thing before
the people Of this country, after the
madness Of labor settles back to its
pre-war status.
Did you ever see railroad built
where the land owner wanted to give
right OF way? That seems ridicu-
lous because you know railroads are
built for the purpose Of furnishine
economic transportation. They are
built in one place and are expected to
say there, therefore they are built
where they can be maintained. They
are built for engines to haul the great
est loads with the least power. there
fore they are placed where fiat grades
and easy curves can be laid out. And
railroads do all of these things, they
stay where they We're first built for
many years afterward and they thans-
port products from one place to an
other economically, efficiently.
Located That is the key word;
railroads are never built at random,
but are located. That classicc of the
Days of Railroad Construction, The
Economic Theory Of Railway Loea-
tion by A. M. Wellington, was the
guiding star to dividends which the
promoters followed as the Hindu does
his Koran.
Now what has "The Economic The
ory of Railway Location" and "Diyi-
dens" got to do with you? To you it
means just this: Will you and your
children and their children get the
most value out of the millions which
must be spent on the road from town
to your house and all over MISSISSIPPI
pi to develop its mighty economic re-
sourees7 Of course, now there will
be some man little enough to say he
is not looking out for his children's
children; we are not wasting our time
talking to him.
There is plenty Of room for improve
ment in the surface of the roads and
they must be improved, but the great
est room for improvement is in re-
locating the old Indian trails and COW
paths which we have been following
in and out and round about up and
down hill, so that the money put in
hard surfacing will be used to best

Mrs. Green has accepted, and will
ride, one of the Rural Delivery
routes out of Pattison. Several men
have tackled this job, only to give it

OLD correspondent
OFFICE DEMOLISHED
Paper Was Published in Port Gibson
Nearly Hundred Years Ago. Of
fee on Farmer Street.

One Of the relics Of the early his
tory Of Port Gibson was recentlv des-
troyed, when the Office Of the Port
Gibson Correspondent, possibly the
towns first newspaper, was torn down.
The building, which was construct
ed of hat boat material, was located
on Farmer street, on the same SQUARE
and just north of the former residence
Of the late Mrs. Eliza Macarthur.
The Correspondent was estabIished
IN 1913, according to the records 81
file IN the court house.. It was edited
by Benjamin F. Stockton, and the sub
scrlption price was $5 per wear. n
was a weekly publication of four ratb-
er small pages, two of which were fill
ed with small advertisements and the
othep two contained miscellaneous
assortment of out-of-county news
One OF the marked differences between
the paper at that time and the pres
enf paper is that no effort was made
to secure any news whatever Of laral
nature, while the Reveille is devoted
largely to matters of local interest.
The only copies of the paper on file
in the chancery clerks Office are the
volumes Of 1830-32, and these have
been badly mutilated by having arti-
cles clipped from them.
Some Of the large letters on the
sign on the front of the building were
still visible when the structure was
razed. The property on which It
stood now belongs to X. R. Brown. a
colored preacher, but for many years.
prior to his ownership, it was the
property Of e. Riteman, and still earl
ier OF Robert Watt, uncle of the late
Robert Watt who died last year.
]. B. Magruderg father of Postmas-
ter K. w. Magruder, was a stock-hold- |
er Of the Correspondent during its
life.

CLAIBORNE CONTRIBUTED
WELL FOR JEWISH RELIEF

Claiborne county has contributed a.
bout $500 for the suffering Jews Of
the East. This is an excellent show
ing, considering the many calls that
have come to our people,.
We doubt whether there is eoun-
ty in the state which has done more
for all worthy causes, population and
wealth considered, than Claiborne. 1t
has seldom failed to give more than
was asked of it.
