"While shorn Of much Of its patron
age when the judgse and chancelfors
were made elective by the people, the
office Of governor is as shown above,
one of tremendous responsibility and
power. Gen. Edward Carey Walthall,
when importuned by all factions and
all sections to allow the use Of his
name for governor, declined, stating
that while he was deeply sensible Of
the great honor his fellow citizens
sought to confer on him, he did not
'covet the office of governor with it's
burdens of grave cares and response
bilities.' This was rs years ago. The
question is now being asked if his
tory is threatening to repeat itself IN
the case Of Judge D. w. Houston, OF
Aberdeen, who has for months been
urged to consent to run for governor,
but who so far has been absolutely
impervious to statewide appeals.
about the time Walthall declined
to be q candidate for governor, Presi-
dent Cleveland took Lamar out of the
United States Senate and put him in
his cabinet. Gov. Lowry then appoin-
ted Walthall to the vacancy. Wal
thall was elected to the senate for a
full term without opposition. At the
next senatorial election he was re-
elected, in spite of his published de-
clension to stand for another term. He
died in that office, beloved and be-
moaned by people of all sections.
Senator Hoar, in his autobiography,
said Waltiall was the ideal American
senator
Lamar, who had been congressman
and senator, regarded the office of
governor as of more Importance than
that of senator. He had been heard
to say that when he served his term
as cabinet officer he intended to re-
turn to Mississippi and ask his fellow
citizens to crown his political career
by making him governor. Cleveland
made Lamar associate justice of the
supreme court, however, and he died
in that office. What a governor La
mar would have made! There are yet
thousands of Mississippians who be-
lieve that when he passed from the
stage of living men he did not leave
his peer. Kinds County Gazette.

YEARS OLD.

With this number the Eagle COM
pletes its 45th year of existence. Dur
ing these years it has had its ups and
downs but only changed hands one
time. Six years ago it passed into the
hands of the present management.
Much money has been spent in equip
ping the plant in an effort to make
the Eagle one of the best weekly pa
pers published in the State.
Our efforts may have been appre-
ciated by some of our merchants and
business men, but we nave not re-
ceived the encouragement and pa
tronage that a paper in town the
size of Oxford should have received.
The advertising columns of news
paper represents the enterprise and
civic pride of the town IN which it IS
published. No paper can exist on the
subscription list alone, and unless the
Eagle receives more liberal patron
age from the merchants of Oxford,
the paper will have to be reduced, both
in size and reading matter.
From November 7 to II will be
"Home Paper Boosting Week." We
wonder if the people of Oxford will
forget that the Eagle has taken an ac-
tive part in boosting every drive made
by the people of the town or COM
munity, OF the nation. We venture
there is not single individual in the
city who has spent more money in
these special drives than the Eagle.
Now, during this drive-next week
we sincerely hope thar the people of
this county will rally in Boosting the
Home Taper.
We know that the Eagle is not as
good as it should be; we know that
Oxford is not as progressive and as
big as she should be, but Oxford is
just what the people make it--so is
the Eagle.
The Eagle has a splendid circula-
tion and with the proper cooperation
of the business men of Oxford it could
be made great factor in the develop
ment and upbuilding of the city and
county. l-%ss~s,g ~ .4@
We trust that the Eagle will live to
see forty-five more years roll by, and
see Oxford greater city than she is
today.

and the first thing she thought Of was
her father and the hopeless condition
she knew he was in. She went to his
room and was very much surprised
to find that he had not gone to bed
that night, but was gone and the only
trace 81 him she could see was seal
ed envelope and small sheet Of pa
pen. She picked up the sheet Of pa

CHAPTER /.

AS you travel the road from VIM
chester to White Apple Village, and
as you are nearing the village at a
distance through the woods you can
see an old-fashioned, yet comfortable
looking home. This is the home Of
DR.. Bruce, who is father Of beau
tiful blue-eyed daughter Of fifteen
years. She is very talented musi-
clan. In the upper story of the house
she has an old-fashioned violin, on
which she can play very beautifully.
Her father is away so much he has
but very little time to spend with his
'motherless daughter, whose nickname
lis Peggy. She spends most Of her
time with the negro house-keeper,
which causes her to be ignored BY
lother children.
| Each night when DR.. Bruce comes
home he asks his daughter to come to
his room and play his favorite pieces
One night when he came home, Peggy
noticed very sad expression on his
face. Peggy, my child he said.
am going to have to leave you fol
quite awhile, for my health is very
poor. With tears in his eyes he Went
to his room, Peggy was very sad and

SUPERVISORS TO FIX ROAD,

To the Tax Payer:
The most important step in fixing
your taxes will be taken at the next
meeting Of the Board Of Supervisors,
Monday, November 18th,
1921. Then the Board will fix the an
nual tax rates, for the county, for the
school districts, and for the road dis
tricts. In some counties, the taxes
imposed by the Supervisors, last year,
were six times as great as the State
tax, and most Of the State tax was
returned to the counties for the pub
lie schools and Confederate pensions.

THE GOvERNORSHIP.

"Anv man who thinks the office of
governor of Mississippi can be filled
by a novice in public affairs" says
Edgar S. Wilson in an interesting and
instructive letter to the News-Scimi-
tar, sshas poor conception of the
powers and duties of the office. The
governor is not only the first citizen
of his state, but he is the head of his
party. He outlines the state policy In
his inaugural address to the legisla-
ture. and in his messages to that au-
gust body is required by the constitu-
ton to give it from time to time in
formation as to the state of the gov
eminent, and recommend such meas
ures for legislative consideration as he
may deem necessary and epedient. He
has authority to call the Legislature in
extraordinary session whenever in his
judgment the public interest requires
it. He is commander-in-chief of the
army and navy and of the state mi
litia, except when they are called into
the service Of the United States. In
all criminal and penal cases, except
those of treason and impeachment, the
governor has power to grant reprieves
and pardons, to remit fines, and, in
cases of forfeiture, to stay the col
lection until the end of the next SEES
sion of the legislature, and by and
with the consent of the senate, to re-
NIT forfeitures. The governor ap-
points superintendent of the ele-
emosynary institutions and the trus-
tees thereof; he appoints the state
tax commissioners ard the warden Of
the state penitentiarv; fills al vacan-
cies in state offices caused BY death
resignation or removal; suspends de-
faulting officials; temporarily fills
vacancies in the United States senate

WHAT'S YOUR IDEA?

What is the most crying need of the
hour in this town-a need that could
be supplied by our local authorities?
We would like to have some answers
to this question for publication in the
columns of our paper. The answers
should be brief and to the point.
Think the matter over with care,
and then write US your opinion of what
is most needed in this town.
No matter how brilliant your per-
sonal idea may be, it can be of no
value to the community unless you
make it public.
That is what we seek-publicity- Of
ideas.
It is good for us all.
