I veri ly believe that many of my person al friends voted for me for treas urer because they thought they were giving me an easy job, i. e a job with but little work—for va ried indeed were the expressions used to me to convey this idea both during the canvass and since my election, such as: "There is nothing to do, just like money picked up—the banks perform all the duties," etc., etc. But, my fellow eitigens, the man who can read Chapter 26 of the Code of 1906 and say there is no work for me to do, is simply mis taken in the law and not a line of it has been repealed by any subse quent act since then, and for fear of imposing on our common friend, Reveille, I will make a concise statement tor our common benefit. The treasurer is made the "watch dog" of every dollar in sight tor the county from every source what ever. He is to have access to the sheriff's books with all his varied departments of collections of the revenues, taxes, licenses, fines, forfeitures, etc.—the same to the circuit clerk's office for the same purpose, and counterbalancing the justices of the peace reports and dockets with their payments, and then at all times he is to know the status of these officers with the county auditor, who is the chan cery clerk, or clerk of the board— which requires clerical work of an expert nature at ail times, with these departments of revenue. Be sides he is to know from the very beginning the county's dues through the state auditor and land commissioner from the state treas ury. He is to know the 16th sec tion funds and enforce every pay ment from every source, as well as reckon with defalcations, trauds, illegalities, by the strong arm of the law, which is bis bounden duty under penalty for failure. Is this uo work? It is true the last legislature made it possible for a bank to re lieve of directly handling the funds which I honestly believe is of no value to the county. But this is a small part of the treasurer's duties, and if he faithfully performs all the other duties of each year, he will have thrice earned the pitiful a - mount that is paid, $300. But, good people, understand me—this is for information—not a complaint. I am capable, bave a ready hand and a bright smile— am coadjutant with my fellow offi cers, who are honest, diligent and sincere, and dare to hope, in the end, we may reap your plaudits unrestrained and fervent.

Jackson.—Secretary McLean is sending out the following letter: J am enclosing copy of the or der passed by the Mississippi state board ot health on October u, 1909, prohibiting the use of the public drinking cup on all trains and in all railway stations. This order has not been heretofore en forced because the board ot health desires the co-operation oi the rail road commission. The said railroad commission has finally passed an order co-op erating with the board of health, copy of which has already been sent to you by railroad commis sion. i ( < i You are hereby requested to observe aod strictly enforce said order for the protection of public health, same being effective on and after October 1, 1911." The resolution ot the railroad commission is as follows: "Whereas, It has been repeat edly demonstrated that the use of what is known as the common drinking cup is dangerous and is an undoubted source of communi cation of infectious diseases. "Now, therefore, in the interest of public health, be it ruled by the Mississippi state board of health: "That the use of the common drinking cup on railroad trains, in railway stations, in public and pri vate schools, and the state educa tional institutions of Mississippi, is hereby prohibited from and after January 1, 1910. "No person or corporation in charge of any railroad train or sta tion, or public or private school, or state educational institution, shall furnish any drinking cup for public use. And no such person or corporation shall permit on said railroad train or station, or at said public or private school, or state educational institution, the use of the common drinking cup." Why should not the churches endorse and heed the above? There is as much daDger in the common drinking cup at communion as in the schools and on the railroads. The individual service is reason able in price and automatically filled. << OVERTAXED Hundreds of Port Gibson Readers Know What It Means The kidneys are overtaxed; Have too much to do.
