WHAT WILL 1T BE,
FOUR MILL TAX
OR BOND ISSUE?

The Board Of Supervisors OF KAN
kin county has submitted 10 the
voters Of the county the question as
to issuing $50, 100000 of bridge bonds
to build concrete and steel bridges
in the county. If this bond issue Is
voted, the money will be divided
equally among the five Beats OF the
county. $4,000 to each Beat, ana
will be used iii building concrete ana
steel bridges. II this bond issue is
voted down, it will be necessary to
levy a four (4l mill tax to take
care of the immediate demands for
bridge building in the county. If the
bridge bonds are voted, the four mill
tax will not be levied, but Il one mill
tax to pay the interest and create a
sinking fund to retire the bonds.
The high price of lumber and the
extremely heavy traffic make ii very
expensive to keep up wooden bridges.
We submit the matter to the voters
of the county and will cheerfully
abide by the result of the election.

Entering Era
of Prosperity

The harvest days are here
in earnest, and with Their
coming the farmers of Ran-
kin county are finding them
selves in better condition fl
nancially than for many,
many months.
The editor made a trip
last week to the prairies in
the northern part of the
county, and on every hand
there was evidence of boun-
tiful crops. True there have
been years when the crop
was heavier, but considering
everything, the county as a
whole is in good shape.
In company with County
Superintendent Of Educa-
tion Barksdale and County
Agent Simmons we made a
tour beginning at Langford,
through Fannin, Pisgah,
Sandhill, Rehobeth, Holly
Bush and on in to Pela-
hatchie.
At Langford and Fannin we found
every evidence of business prosperity.
Farmers and business men were busy.
New goods were arriving at The
stores
Noon time found US at Sand Hill,
where we had the pleasure of dining
with Mr.. and Mrs. Will Barksdale,
Il delightful couple, with a pretty
home and a good business.
After dinner we continued our
journey to the Holly Bush com
munity, where we found goo
school building in process of erection.
Many of the good people of this
community had gathered at the

PAYING THE PIPER

Some men ldabble in politics and
are known as politicians. That is no
compliment.
others engage in constructive Leg,
islation. They are statesmen, and
the term is a credit. to them.
We need fewer of the former, OF
whom there are enormously too many
There is a crying need of'the latter,
who are lamentably few.
Any novice can lay one brick on
top of another, but it requires an ex-
perienced mason to construct wall
that will stand.
We are careful in the selection OF
the men who build the houses In
which we live, but Indifferent as to
the calibre of those who enact laws
under which we are governed.
We pay the political piper, whether
we dance or not.
