MANY COUNTY OFFICIALS GROSSLY INCOMPETENT Frequent Errors in Their Reports and Useless Questions Asked the Attorney General. Jackson, November 10.—"The igno rance, of many county officials in Mississippi is pathetic," remarked a prominent state official whose name it is not deemed necessary to give. "While they are selected, or are sup posed to be, from among the very best people in their respective counties, it seems quite probable that many of them are more popular than compe tent, as is evidenced by their reports, inquiries, etc., to the state officials." The official in question then went on to detail many of the things which gave rise to this expression of opin ion, after stating that it was by no means the rule, but the general es ception to which he referred. He is a man of some experience, and knows something of the troubles of several of the state officials besides himself. For instance, officials making re ports to the auditor, treasurer, insur ance commissioner, superintendent of education and others, where blanks are furnished with columns ruled and designated for certain items, frequent ly leave some of the columns blank, or fill in the wrong item in the wrong place. Many others fail to get in their reports within the time limits fixed by law for their filing, thus causing delays on the part of the state officials in completing their reports or in closing up their books. Still others write to the state offciials ask ing the simplest kind of questions which, in many cases are answered by simply referring to the code sec tion where the law on the subject is as plain as daylight, indicating that some of them never read the laws af Launch New Dreadnought North DakotaFirst Ship of Nevr and Improved Type <( Hearst News Service. Fore River, Mass., November 10.— Uncle Sam's new Dreadnought the North Dakota, a 20,000-ton fighting monster of the seas, was launched to day at the yards of the Fore River Shipbuilding Company. Miss Mary Benton, of Fargo, S. D., who was ap pointed by Governor John Burke, of North Dakota, broke a bottle of wine against the battleship and formally christened it. Thousands of people from Boston, and many distin guished officials of the navy were nres ent. The launching of the North Dakota, the first semi-Dreadnought type of ves sel to be built for the American navy marks a new step toward the suprem acy of Uncle Sam on the high seas Ail lecords for speed were broken in bfr con struct; on, and while much r mains to be done in fitting the le v:a!ion for active service, all indica tions point to its completion many months before the expiration of the three-year limit allowed by the gov ernment. The keel of the big vessel was laid on December 16, last, and by October last the ship was cent, completed. It is expected that the North Dakota will be in commis si, n within two years from the date of the laying of the keel, which will break all records of American ship yards. When commissioned, she will be commanded by Captain Chalres J. 54 per ■u f. J N. H. Arnold to the left and H. J. Hewitt, to the right, both of North Adame, Massachusetts, who took pert in the recent international balloon race, abr< to this tcx were rescued in the Norjth Sea. They have just returned fecting their particular official duties, although copies of the code and of the Laws of 1908 have been furnished free by the state to every county official in the state. This year the legislature passed a new act requiring county and muni cipal assessors to report the assess ment of railroad property to the Rail road Commission, but very few of them knew up to the time their atten tion was called to it by Secretary Maxwell, of the existence of such law, and hardly any of these assess ment reports reached the commission in time to be of benefit to the commis sion in its assessment of railroad property. The many inquiries which came to the attorney general's office with re quests for official opinions which are answered by merely citing the code section where the law is to be found, indicate that many officials spend very little time posting themselves upon what their official duties really are. County superintendents of educa tion, representing, theoretically at least, the intellect of their respective counties, while showing less ignorance than many other classes, are not ex empt from criticism for their lack of promptness in making their reports, and in many cases even these show a woeful lack of information along the lines of their duties. In numerous instances recently re ports have been returned from the var ious departments for correction, ac companied by a note calling attention to the law governing the particular transaction. a Badger, superintendent of the Annapo lis Naval Academy. The North Dakota is a sister ship of the Delaware, in process of building at the yards of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company at Newport News, Va. On October 1 the Delaware was 44 per cent, com* pleted, according to the official reports to the Naval Department. A fierce ri valry has marked the construction of the sister ships.
