Merchant Failed.

Repeated from the Farber
Forum:
Last Saturday Il. +. Sisk turned
his stock of merchandise over to
the Farhcr Bank, being unable TO
meet certain obligations due that
institution, and which We're secur-
ed by mortage, amount about 5000.
n second lien on the goods to
amount of $500 is held by j. ID.
Pitt. There are outstanding ac-
counts, the amount of which is
not known. The assets are figured
at between $500 and $500. The
outside creditors will contest the
claims of the bank and cndeavor
to have the debt settled in bank
ruptcy, in which case each claim
ant shares of the assets. We are
sorry to hear of Mr.. Sisk' embar
rasSment and hope he may be able
to meet obligations in full.

A telegram from Meridian says:

A telegram from Meridian says:
1t seems queer that the he'd upon
which was born the Daughter Of the
Confederacy should remain in ohsc.

such seems to he the case.
1t Is reported that the bed on which,
Miss Winnie Davis was born has for
several years been in the possession
OF a hotel In Biloxi and was only re.
Gently brought Into prominence. The
bed was given by Jefferson Davis to
Miss Winnie's nurse, so the story goes
and the nurse sold 1t to a hotel in
Biloxi.
Here the old piece Of mahogany lay
for several years, until few days ago,
when it was bought by G. L. Stone,
general passenger agent Of the Louis.

Is untrue. / vii add, this whole story

MISSlSSlPPI'S SANTOS. DU MONT
AIRsHIP WILL TRAVEL THIRTY MILES
AN HOUR.

Melidisn Star.
The Meridian public will soon be
treated to sight such as has meyer
hefore been witnessed In the United
States II the invention which Richard
G. V. MyttDn. Of this city proves the
success he thinks it will.
As has been previously stated in
the columns OF the Star, Mr.. Mytt0n
has perfected the plans for machine,
which he claims will navigate the air
just as the fastest ocean liner skins
over the broad Atlantic. These plans
are now complete and nothing re-.
mains but for the inventor to secure
his engine and hang the airship up.
Owing to the financial failure OF a
well known engine manufacturer in
Waltham, Mass, Mr.. Mytton has
been delayed two or three weeks in
work on his machine, but he expects
within The next two or three days tn
let the contract for tile construction
of the gasoline engine with which lie
proposes to propel the airship. Had
it not been for the failure of this
house in Waltham it is quite probable
that the different parts OF the engine
would have been completed by this
time and ready for use, but since they
have been forced out OF business, Mr..
Mytt0n will be compelled to walt
until firm in Pittsburg can inspect
the drawings and models and submit
"a bid on the work, before he relets the
contract.
Much Of the success OF the navigable
properties OF the airship will depend
upon the engine according to the
ideas Of the inventor, and he is, there
fore, very particular about jnst who
he permits to construct il. In 0rde,
to make the affair just as ligh,
as possible much will be made OF
alnminOid, which is said TO be a
trifle less than 0ne.third as heavy as
steel.
The engine will be OF eight horse
power and will weigh only about forty
pounds. 1t will he capable OF main.
tanning speed OF ut least thirty
miles an hour in the atmosphere
which will be necessary to keep the
ship above the earth.
The ship when completed will be In
the shape OF Il rectangle about % feet
wide and 10 feet long. with u curved
surface, and, all told, will weigh l2C
pounds. The frame will be built ul
Virginia spruce and covered with Il
strong fabric coated with balloon
varnish.
The prOpellers will be stationed In
front 0f tile device and will measure
feet in diameter. They will be two in
number and will make 500 revolutions
Il minute.
The airship when completely will
carry only one person, Win will he
parallel I" the earth during a voyage,
thus making the wind resistance as
small as possible.

ABURDEEsoME AND HARMFUL TAX,


The position OF American newspa.
pers In respect to the duty on wood
pulp Is the same as that OF any man.
whose business is hamper
ed aud injured by the Dingley impost
On bis raw material. In advocating
the abolition Of the duties on the ma
terials out OF which news print pa.
per is made, newspaper is obviously
speaking In its own interest. Any
manufacturer who appeals to Con.
gress for the removal OF taxes on the
raw materials Of his industry speaks
In his own interest. The protected
manufacturer, whose influence with
Congress caused the Dinglcy taxes to
be laid, spoke often, loudly and sue.
cessfully in their own interests. The
privilege OF taking a hand in any
phase OF tariff discussion is not to be
denied to the press because it has a
business interest in the matter.
Bleached wood pulp pays a tariff
tax Of one.Quarter Of a cent a pound.
Unbleached pulp pays one-twelfth Of
. cent pound II mechanically made,
and one-sixth OF = cent pound II
chemically made. The white paper
upon which newspapers are printed Is
taxed three.tenths OF a cent a pound.
The intention and effect OF these taxes
is to enable American manufacturers
Of paper to charge a higher price for
their product. The interest Of the
newspaper public in abolition Of the
tax may be illustrated by an example.
1t Is impossible for newspaper tO
add to its selling price the exact ad'
ditional amount which it is forced to
pay for white paper on account OF the
duty. II the price OF foreign.made
paper is, say. cents pound, the
duty amounts to Is per cent, ad val
orenI. But a one-cent newspaper can
not increase the price for which 1t is
sold to the public by Is per cent, or %
per cent, or any other fraction. 1t
must raise its price 100 percent or
nothing. The public interest and the
interests OF the country are most ser.
iously involved in another way. The
effect Of the would pulp tax Is to has.
ten the destruction OF American
spruce forests, already seriously Ell.
croached upon BY the demands OF the
paper.making industry for this nee.
cssary raw material. Across the Ga
madam border and in Norway and
10 other Northern countries there arc
immense forests ofsprucc from which,
but for the duty our supply could be
drawn. The tax is in effect Il pre-.
MUM upon the destruction OF Amer.
ican forests.
At a meeting held in New York dur
ing the present week, the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
adopted a resolution asking Congress
ito abolish the duty on wood pulp,
mechanical ground wood. and lumbe,
used in the manufacture OF paper and
that the duty on news print paper be
reduced" The newspapers OF the
United States can secure the aboli.
tlon OF this perfectly senseless. un
necessary and trust-breeding tax il
they will raise a united voice in sup
port OF the demand made Of Congress
by the Publishers Association. This
is a perfectly typical instance of d
vicious Dinpley duty on raw material
The revenue produced is insignit
cant, and the sole effect OF the duty i.
to increase the price of an article
OF almost universal consumption
which public pulley demands shoult
always be pIocurable ut the loves,
