Publish the Assessment Roll

st. Clair county, Illinois, publishes
the assessment list of all property
The law went into effect last spring
and the result was to raise the assess.
ment of the county several million
dollars. Hundreds of men who had
been paying no taxes for years made
haste to get ON the list when they
found the public would know they
were tax dodgers. Hundreds OF
others who gave in their property at
rid!culously low figures made amends
by listing it at fair valuation. The
new law cost the county several hum
bred dollars for public printing, the
county in turn gained thousands of
dollars by enlarging its assessment
list.
1t seems to us that just such law
in Morehouse would add greatly to
our public wealth and be the means
of greatly increasing our public funds,
which are badly needed for our public
schools and for better roads. No
property holder who lists his property
at fair valuation would oppose such
law, and it would be interesting to
watch the tax doders put up. There
is no doubt of the fact that o number
of property holders in Morehouse, as
well as elsewhere, are guilty of tax
lodging. Men considered upright
and honest in the walks of life too
often sign the assessment blanks
when they know they are falsifying.
The publication of our assessment
roll would doubtless furnish interest
ing and amusing reading. 1t would
also give us true Insight into our
character. 1t would be
the means of securing fairer assess
ments in the future and would no
doubt greatly enhance the value of
real estate and private holdings in
A good law in Illinois
would no doubt be a good law in

ton to our parish law makers for
their worthy consideration Mer

COTTON STATISTICS.


The New Orleans Times Demo
lerat gives the following editorial on
the cotton product, which will be
found interesting to those who are
interested in its production:
We mentioned some days ago,
that the census bureau had nearly
completed it's report on cotton grow
ling in the United States. The bull
lletin has since been published, and
contains great deal of valuable in-
formation that will be interesting to
the people of the cotton States.
While nominslly it is called "Cot-
tor Ginning" and is a report on the
amount of cotton ginned in the
country, as it covers all the $1,000
gins, both public and private, 1t
gives the figures of production for
the whole country BY States and
counties.
The cotton crop of the South for
the census year was, as Is well
known, below the average, and fol
that reason it does not appear to as
great advantage as il should. This,
however, has frequently been the
case before; indeed, the crops OF
nearly all the census years have been
below the average. The rapid de
velopment of the industry, however,
is we'll shown in the following fig
ures.

The Hammond yindicatol

The Hammond indicator says
s.that marshal Skinner is in receipt OF
a letter from the attorney general
in which be says: ''sThe Supreme
Court has decided that there is nc
necessity that the poll tax be paid as
a prerequisite to the right of voting
during the past year. The constitu-
ton only denies the right to vote in
1902, and subsequent years where
the poll tax has not been paid .
SO every one can vote this year,
whether they have paid their poll tax
or not.''
The Banner-Democrat. [volume] (Lake Providence, East Carroll Parish, La.) 1892-current, 1901-03-16
cenSuseS:

la 1870 some cotton was grown
in California, Kansas, Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Nevada aud
Utah. This was due to the fact that
the price of the staple was very high
at the time, and these States have
not done much in the cotton indus
try since then.
A comparison of the census of
1870 and 1900 shows that, while the
industry has made progress in all
the Southern States, the greatest
advance has been made in Texas.
That State produced only lI.6 per
cent of the crop of 1870 and 27.9
per cent of that of 1900. South
Carolina has increased its percentage
in the same thirty years from 7.5 to
0 per cent, and North Carolina has
about maintained its position; but
the Louisiana crop has dropped
from III per cent of the total to
rs per cent, and that of Tennessee
from 8 to % per cent.
The yield in pounds and bales
is as follows:

There has been, II will he seen, a
steady progress EXCEPT when the
civil war inflicted such shock TO
the South, and TO cotton more than
any other of its products. In the
decentralization that ensued, in the
change in the labor conditions and
the disaster caused by reconstruct
ion, the cotton crop declined nearly
one.half, and it was not until twenty
years afterward that the South got
back to it's production of ante bel
lum lines.
1t is interesting to note the States
in which cotton growing has made
the greatest progress OF late. and
this is best shown by the figures Civ
ing the production of each State by
the seypral cpnsuspS.

TIE RAILROAD.

The Vicksburg Herald of the 10th,
has the following to say about the New
Orleans, Natchez and Arkansas:
Mr.. A. L. Averill of Cedar Rapides,
Iowa, president of the New Orleans.
NatcheZ and Arkansas Railway Com
pany, arrived in the city yesterday
morning from trip through Concor-
dia parish, Louisiana. accompanied by
Mr. Howard Cole. Mr. Averill is en-
thuSiasiic on the subject of the new
railroad. which, he thinks. Will pass
through as fine a section of country as
ever new road was built through.
Since the organization of the stock
company, and of the construction
company, Mr. .Averill states, many cap
italisis have begun an inquiry for
lands along the route. and il is safe TO
predict that within two years after the
building of the road, many thousand
acres of land will have been put in
cultivation. The survey. parties will
be in the field sometime during the
week. and as stated in The Herald
Tuesday morning. will work both
north and south from the line of the
Vicksburg. Shreveport ard PsciEc,
from a point near. or just at Tallulah.
The line will extend from Vidalia to
Arkansas City, aud Mr.. Averill an
ticipates no difficulties whatever in OBJ
tanning the necessary right of way. the
people of Louisiana and Arkansas be
ing too anxious to obtain the road.

The figures given for Sea Island
cotton show that Georgia has dis.
placed Florida as the chief producer
of that staple. In 1880 the Florida
crop was live times that of Georgia,
IN 1890 it was twice as great; but
by the census of 1900 Georgia pro-
duced 57,Sl2 bales of ''Sea Island"
Florida only 3l.23s and South
Carolina 1929. The industry is on
the decline in the Palmetto State,
the production having fallen from
10, l42 bales in 1880 TO 1929 bales
in 1900. The Georgia crop is not
produced on the Atlantic coast of

belief that the sea air is necessary
