Biloxi, Sept. 16.-Harrison county
citizens are protesting over the increase
Of tax levy ordered by the board OF
suuervisors. The assessment roll of the
comfy. as filed with the state auditor,
shows an increase in property valuation
Of nearly one million dollars, the exact
figure being $942, 742. 80, but in spite of
this showing the board advanced the
levy from four and one fourth mills on
the dollar to five and one half mills, and
the. citizens are entering strenuous
protest, claiming that the increase in
valuation ought TO justify decrease in
stead of a higher figure.
The county made special levy for the
extension of the rural school term, but
its finances are in good shape, and it IL
regarded as rather singular that the
hoard should deem the increase neces

Stone Throwing.

A propensity to throw stones regard
less of consequences has been one of
the earliest signs of natural depravity
among men since time began and we
fear, must continue that way until the
millennium ushers in the era when bad
boys are no more and stones are con-
fined 10 Their proper md legitimate
uses.
Anyway, the mischief wrought by
this vicious and execrable habit looms
up into serious proportions when the
figures are given out by plate glass fn-
surance men showing that 1t costs not
less than $250,000 year to make good
the losses thus caused by reckless boys
In this country alone.
With stone throwing costing $3.50, 900
q year, carelessness In setting fires cost
ing hundreds of millions more and
needless accidents causing immense
sacrifice of property, the good people
have many bills to foot which ought
not to be thers.-Leslie's Weekly.

The largest part Of the coffee grown

societies are beginning to realize how
its excessive use increases the risks of
life Its effect Is In shortening the

aminers for insurance companies have
added the term coffee heart" to their

arrangements Of that organ. These
physicians advice that the use of cot
