Heavy Court Term in Pike County.

Magnolia, Miss, March 3.-Judge
D. M. Miller will convene the March
term of circuit court here next Mon
day morning. The docket. of the term
is heavy. In the list of cases on the
calendar, as published in The Ga
zette, there are 81. civil cases and
27 criminal cases, the latter being
the left-overs from last term and
new cases appealed from Justice
courts. On the grand jury's docket,
there are number of important law
violations to be investigated. Four
homicides have been committed in
the county since the last term of the
court, all of them, however, being
the killing of negroes by negroes.
Jesse Smith is in Jail charged with
the murder of another negro at or
near Osyka last fall. Smith is an ex
convict, having been sent up from
this county several years ago for
rape, but was pardoned< long before
his sentence expired. Lula Stovall,
McComb negress, will probably be
investigated in connection with the
killing of her husband, CLANCY Sto-
vail, in Baertown, last January, and
Hollis Wilson is likely to be indicted
for the murder of a negro named
Brown east Of Fernwood during the
same month. Roosevelt Martin, the
slayer of Anthony Guy, is still at
large, but it is said there is ample
evidence to warrant a murder in

Freestone County, sixty-four years ago.

My father used Black-Draught before I
was married, and gave 1t to US :.
For forty-four years Of my married
life, 1t has had place on our medi-
cine shelf. and is the only laxative, or
liver medicine, we use. We use 1t
for torpid liver. sour stomach. head
ache, indigestion :. don't think We
could get along without 1t, knowing
what It has done for US, and the money
It has saved. 1t is just as good and re-
liable today as 1t was when we began
Its use. My boys use It and they are
satisfied it's the best liver medicine
they have ever used"
Thedford's Black -Draught Is purely
vegetable, not disagreeablo to take
and acts In prompt and natural way.
So many thousands Of persons have
been benefited by the -se of Thedford's

Taxes of Aged Widow Paid by Ku

letter accompanied by $79.75 in
cash. The letter is self-explanatory.

Mr.. w. r. Watkins, Tax Collector,
McComb, Miss.
Dear Sir:-It has been brought to
the attenetion of Col. T. r. Stock
dale Klan No. %, knights of the
Ku Klux Klan, that the taxes Of Mrs.
S. A. Kelly remain unpaid. We un-
derstand that she is an aged widow,
a resident of McComb for a long
time and that no more worthy thing
could be done than to offer to pay
the taxes of this lady. We therefore
are enclosing the sum of $79.75
which we believe is sufficient to pay
the city and county taxes on her
property and we will be glad to have
you pay these taxes and send the
receipts to Mrs. Kelly with the best
wishes of the membership of this
Khan. Yours truly,

Some Suggestions.

The Leader is taking the follow

On nearly every Saturday the roll
call of the legislature, in Jackson,
discloses the absence of many of its
members, running as high, at times,
as 67; yet, each drawing $1,000 per
session, for not over four days of ac7
tual work.
Now, If these absentees would con-
stitute themselves committee of in
quiry, and take advantage of the
monthly meeting of the Boards Of
Supervisors, and request the attend
ance of all the county officials, a
heart to heart talk, as to the real
requireemnts of necessary legislation
would result in much information.
The number of supervisors, the
sheriff and tax collectors, the chan
cery clerks, the circuit clerks, the
superintendent of education, and as
SCISSORS in the 50 counties Of the
State, would amount to $40 officials.
Surely, with their intimate know
ledge of public affairs, they would be
in position to offer many wise sug-
gestions, and the visiting members
of the legislature, on their return to
Jackson, would be better equipped
for the intelligent discussion of sun
dry measures.
If economy is the slogan, some of
the ideas lately offered by Mr.. Florian
Seal, assessor of Harrison county, in
recent communication to the Daily
Herald, would, if adopted, save the
State thousands of dollars.
All compensation, whether by fee
or salary, should be regulated by
the ACTUAL WORK PERFORMED.
A fixed basis, according to the con-
ditions of each county, should be
established, and the fee or salary,
plus all necessary clerical work,
should be regulated.
Should some of the ideas now pre-
vailing be formulated into law, and
an arbitrary sum fxed,S the officers
of Harrison county, at least, would
be financially. swamped.
1t costs money to run any good
establishment, and the business
methods of railroads, banks and COM
mercial houses should be made
guide in shaping the county's pay
roll.
1 am confident that the splendid
report made by Mr.. Eustis McManus,
chancery clerk of Harrison county,
showing that over the old fee sys-
tenn, the county is $4,000 ahead,
will appeal to every taxpayer and
make him feel satisfied that her Of
fcers are not overpaid.

oBEYING THE PEOPLE.

Natchez has set good example of
democracy. Recently the board of
mayor and aldermen announced that
minor officers of the municipality
in the future would be appointive in
stead of elective, as had been the
custom.
1t was clearly within the power of
the board to make the change, and
it's membership was convinced that
this would result in the securing of
better and more efficient officials,
but the people of Natchez differed
with their city fathers and did not
hesitate to make known their desire
that the old custom be continued
and they be given the opportunity to
vote for who they wanted.
And the board unanimously decid-
ed to take no further steps on the ap-
pointivs proposition, though con-
vinced that in SO doing they would
have been within their rights.
The Natchez Democrat in COM
menting on the action of the board,
says:
THE offices belong to the people,
and If they wish them elective, it is
their Wright and privilege to have
them so.
1--WE were of the opinion that the
appointive system was the most bus
mess like and practical system apd
the system which would produce the
greatest degree of efficiency, and we
are still of that opinion.
Differences of opinion is what
makes business as we'll as nations
and cities. Every man and woman
is entitled to his or her opinion on
public questions, until such times as
the majority speaks and the question
is settled.
1.-The people have by petition spo-
ken, they have declared that they
wished the officials elected instead
of appointed. That settles the ques-
tion, and in this as in all other pub
lie matters, we hold that the voice
Of the people is the voice of God"
