LOT JUST TO U HAVE XOUR fCf (CJISD "OF sn "TOENAILS NEWS AND VIEWS From The STATE CAPITAL By F. R. BirdsaU Circuit Judge Wiley H. Potter has held that the secretary of state is con sidering the initiative petition looking to the placing of the state revenue agent on a salary regarded by the friends of that office as a practical emasculation of the same must take cognizance of forged names and the names of persons not citizens of Mis sissippi and not qualified electors. Judge Potter overruled the demur rers of the attorneys of the secretary of state and also their motion to quash the certiorari as well as their motion to dissolve the supersedes. At the suggestion of Judge D. W. Houston, of Aberdeen, one of the at torneys for the revenue agent, the eight attorneys on both sides of the case called on Chief Justice Smith and asked for an early day to hear the ar gument on the appeal which was taken by the attorneys representing the secretary of state. On Wednes day, Oct. 18, the case was argued and an early decision by the supreme court is expected. In the meantime the secretary of state is forbidden to put the proposed measure on the ticked to be voted on Nov. 7. Should the supreme court sustain the position taken by Judge Potter, the proposed measure, the petitions for- which were filed by Hennessey, of Vicksburg, and Austin, of Jackson, both fire insurance agents, will not go on Ihe November ballot. Reports reach the city from all over the state that boards of supervisors are passing resolutions recommending for their constituents to vote for the constitutional amendment on Nov. 7, which provides for the taking of trunk highways out of the hands of boards of supervisors and placing them un der the control of the state highway department. It seems to be well un derstood now that unless this propos ed amendment is ratified, Mississippi will lose millions of federal appropria tions for the construction and mainte nance of highways In this state. It Is said that the country people who are thoroughly sick and tired of mud roads have become aroused on this subject and will vote for the proposed amendment in large numbers. The complaint seems to be univer sal, and certainly it is the case in the country adjacent to the capital city, that so-called "road hogs" are endan gering the lives and property of oth ers and making automobile travel very uninviting for those persons who have regard for courtesy and law. In Some Instances !t is said that heavy truck drivers refuse to give half the road to people who want to pass them and that the drivers of some of these big trucks, while allowing cars driven and occupied by ladles, to pass, manipu late the heavy trucks In such a way as to greatly frighten the occupants of the car. There Ib a growing senti ment that automobile legislation will be asked at the hands of the next leg islature. Visitors to Jackson from different parts of the state announce that there will be a crop of candidates for the office of district attorney in each of the 17 circuit court districts. Already official announcements are appearing in the newspapers for candidates for that office, the nominations for which will take place in the August primary of 1923. The salary of the office is $.1,000 per year Jor a term of four years, and district attorneys are al lowed to practice In the civil courts. Much complaint is reported from many localities in the state touching the violation of the Klger game law passed at the 1922 session of the Mis sissippi legislature. It is said that deer, turkey, bear, squirrel, quail, doves and other game mentioned In the law are being ruthlessly slaugh tered and that steps are being taken by county attorneys and boards of su pervisors as well as district attorneys to apprehend the violators of this law and bring them to punishment. A concrete link in the public high way In Yazoo county containing nine and nine-tenths of a mile, has been let to Williams and Libby, contractors.

The sec retary of s:at says he has no authori ty to order published the proposed amendments to the constitution under the IniUtive clause of the constitution. MOST OF STATI8 COTTON CROP GATMEMD Fall has been Best Picking Season for Farmers In 8everal Years About 25 per cent Unpicked. Jackson. Farmers of Mississippi are agreed that this is the best autumn for cotton picking they have had in many years, and not more than 25 per cent of the season's y'eld re mains in the field to be picket. In some counties the percentage Is much mailer. During the latter part of last week a few heavy showers were reported In the central counties, but over good portion of the cotton-growing area there has been practically no moisture during the past month. This is not altogether pleasing, in view of the fact that drought conditions have developed, especially in the southern counties where creeks have dried up, and many farmers are compelled to haul water for their live stock. Forest fires covering a considerable area have also been reported. The quality of the staple Is the best that has been harvested In this state for many seasons, and the tendency to hold back the crop from the market is somewhat general. It is a common sight to see wagons wending their way back to the farms from the cot ton gins laden with new-made bales to be stored awaiting better prices. P.-T. A.
