WORD FROM HOME.

A. w. Price, of the Daily Telegram
force, called for his mail yesterday in
the same old matter of fact way he
usually does but after he read a
message from his home back in Mis-
sissippi, he broke out and ran four
blocks. Then he walked six. By this
time he had come to grocery store
on Kaufman street and he dashed in
the door.
"Much cigars quickw he pointed,
as he tended hand full of money.
With the cigars bulging his pockets,
he walked as fast as he could. At the
next corner he met total stranger
and started smiling.
"Have a cigar" offered Mr.. Price.
The stranger took the cigar, felt to
see if it was loaded or poisoned and
then lighted it. BY this time Mr.. Price
had his thumbs under his vest and was
putting on cigar.
Congratulate me-" he said. I've
got a ten pound girl p exia Dali

AUTOMOBILE TAGS.

There is a great waste Of money in
the State of Mississippi. Many ways
money could be saved, if the laws
We're properly corrected.
Take, for instance, the automobile
tags. Why did the man who introduce
ed that bill providing that all cars
shall be provided with two tags, one
in front and one at the rear, make
it four tags, front, raer and one on
either side? There would have been
just as much sense in four tags as
there is in two tags.
The fact of the business is, one tag
is all that is necessary on car. Any
sane man knows that the second tag
is useless waste of money. The
front tag, as a rule, is always covered
with mud and cannot be read. Ii a
car has one tag-on the rear-that
is evidence that the privilege licenses
has been paid on that car; it is just
as much evidence as if the car had a
dozen tags on it.
This one tag proposition alone, in
the State, would save the people
thousands of dollars every year. Why
don't some of our wise representatives
or senators in the Legislature correct
this tag law?
Again, we have been informed that
the tags that.we are forced to pay So
for costs the State or County Is cents.
Where does the balance of the So go?
When we pay the privilege required
by law, the tags should be furnished
at actual cost If the law has been
robbing the people of the State all
these many years of thousands of dol
lars each year, will anybody advance
good reason why the people should
continue to be robbed, just because
they own an automobile?

enced men of ability, First Vice Pres
ident and Managing Underwater hav-
ing been selected after exhaustive IN
vestigation, and the Secretary was
