THE STARKVILLE GUARDS.

Jackson, July 16.- The Starkville
Guard newly organized military
company, has applied for admission
into the Mississippi national guard,
but there is some doubt as to whether
it will be at once admitted, owing to
the uncertainty regarding a summer
encampment, and the disinclination
on the part of the commanding Off
! GERS in case the state troops are or
dered to Chattanooga to take raw
company along. Very few state guard
organizations have been able to fully
comply with the provisions of the
Lick military bill. although the three
regiments in Mississippi have engag-
ed in hard drill work for the past
several months in order to get in
under the terms Of the measure.

ANOTHER STATE ISSUE.

Jackson, July 16.-A comparison
of the local freight rates of Missis-
sippi and Georgia has been made an
issue in the campaign for railroad
commissioners in this state, and the
efforts made to show that Mississippi
locals are generally higher than
Georgia locals. Capt. John d. Nc
Innis, chairman of the Mississippi
commission, denies that this is the
case, and has produced a comparative
statement showing that the supposed
difference in favor of Georgia is due
solely to methods of classifcations.

The tax digest for Terrell county
has been completed by Tax Receiver
Waller and forwarded to the comp
troller general in Atlanta. The re-
turns show one OF the largest increases
of values in the history of the county
and one of which the county may wei!
feel proud. The figures of gain over
those of last year are S24l 800.
The total values for the year 1903 as
shown by the receivers books are 81
S79.62S. OF this amount S2,688,3l7

TAX VALUES SHOW $241,8O9 INCREASE

Lines of Industry Is Shown by the Returns

seen from these figures that the negro
polls are more than double those OF
the whites, and the increase of the ne
groes about three times that of the
whites
The large property increase in this
county is very gratifying. In point of
area it is one of the smallest counties
in the state, yet it shows one of the
largest gains in tax values. Farm
lands in Terrell are constantly ad-
yancing, and this fact together with
the large amount of building which ha
been done in Dawson and the county
during the past few months is respon-
sible for the magnificent increase. No
one or several establishments OF large
manufactures or exceptionally large
buildings are responsible for the rise
in values: but the increase has been a
gradual and steady one in all lines OF
business and in the possessions OF all
classes of citizens.
While the increase this year is
magnificent one. there is every reason
to believe that the tax digest OF next
year will show one much larger.
There are mauy improvements IN
sight in Dawson, and there is no doub
that buildings to the extent of nearly
$75, 900 will be erected in this city dur
ing the next twelve months. Farm
lands are also largely increasing in
value, and the amount of produce gives
promise of being far greater than that
of this year.
