HELD FINAL MEETING
ASSESSMENT BOARD COMPLETES
 ITS WORK.
List of Raises Not Yet Made Public But the State Revenue Will be Increased Over
 $500.

The State Board of Assessment held its final meeting yesterday at noon at the Capitol. At that meeting the details of the work of, the Board in the assess ment of the railroad and telegraph prop critics in Alabama were completed, and the Board adjourned until It's next an- nual meeting.
 The list of changes made In the assess ment of the various railroad and tele- graph lines in the State were not made public yesterday. Judge J. T. Cook, of tho Auditors office, Ihe Clerk of the Board is making. out the list and it will be made public as soon as completed withia the next day or two
 The Board is composed of the Cover nor the Auditor, the Treasurer. the Sec retary of State and the Attorney Gen. erai, who acts in an advisory capacity, and who has q vote only in case of a tie. It has been in session for the past week.
 The work of the Board this year Is of unusual interest in view of the agitation in the Legislature as to the assessment of railroad property. wher it was uations were too low and in view of the necessity for increased revenue for the State from the generosity of the Legis- lature.
 1t was expected that q raise in railroad tax valuations would be made and this expectation was realized. It Is said that the total of the raises made by the board will amount to a million dollars. which will increase the income of the State s6,5 300 annually.

NEW SELMA COMPANY
PETITION OF YOUNG MEN AP.
 PROVED BY COL. GRAVES.
Military Organization to be Muster. ed Into Service Monday Night State Senator Craig May
 Be Captian.

Col. E.. 1T. Graves of the 2nd infantry, while in Montgomery yesterday, approved a petition of number of young men of Selma to he mustered into the Alabama regiment.
 The petition has been granted by the AdJutant-General and the young men Will be organized into a company to take the place Of the organization of their fellow townsmen who were mustered out or the State troops last September.
 Monday night.
 The new company. it is said. is to be composed of the best known young men of Selma. The name of Hon. W, B. Crai z, State Senator from Dallas Coun- ty. Is on the petition. and it is under stood that he will be made Captain of the organization e as soon as 1t is mustered into the End infantry.
 Tho new company will give the 2nd it's fuil complement of companies, twelve A vacancy has existed in the regiment since the mastering out of the old company C.
 The company. it will he recalled, was the center of a sensational incident last July. while the regiment was at Camp Henry B. Foster. near Selma. After some trouble with their commissioned of ncers, large part of the command. in defance of military authority. marched out of the camp and returned to their homes in Selma. For this act of insur- bordination, Colonel Graves convened a court or inquiry, composed Of officers of the End which assembled in Selma,
 The court. in addition to finding the company guilty of the act of insurbordi- nation in camp. criticised the lack of dis cipline of the command. its factional dif- ferences. and the neglect its arms and equipment showed. The court recom- mended that the company be mustered out of the services of the State, and this was done.
 A number of other towns in Southern and Middle Alabama asked leave to supply a command. for the vacancy in the End infantry caused by the mastering out of Company c. Colonel Graves however. announced that Selma would be given the preference If a new company was organized.
 One or two previous petitions have been filed with the Adjutant-General's office from young men who wanted to form These. however did not re-
 The last petition. which was headed by Senator Craig, was examined yesterday and approved by Colone Graves. The Adjutant-General has notified the Selma peope who are interested that the peti- tion has been approved. and that the new command will be mustered into the Ala bama National sGuard Monday night.
 The new company will be equipped as early as possible. Colonel Graves and General Brandon will use every effort to have the command sup plIed with proper equipment that it may be in readiness for the practice camp of the End next July.

Fish as Brain Food Is Nonsense.


 'To say that fish is a brain food is to talk nonsense" said the antiquary with unwonted heat. "I have made an inves- tigation of this rank superstition. of this fallacy-for it is nothing more-and I have found where 1t originated. Profes- sor Agassiz was addressing a certain Committee on Fish of the Massachusetts Legislature. He was advocating fish pro- lection. and he said humorusly that fish should not be allowed to die out because they fed the brain. He only meant that they were nutritious food. and one read fly to be dgested by the sedentary; but there was something bizzare and strange in the statement that fish was a brain food. and the newspapers spread the thing broadcast. emitting the smile that had ac- companied it. Agassiz in later speeches denied that he meant seriously that fish was an especial nourisher of the brain, but no one printed his denial have often asked doctors what they thought of this proposition. Their reply invariably has been that such a proposition was unsci- entfic and absurd. Agass1z was a great investigator; he brought many truths to light, but it is probable that this nonsen- sical statement of his is more widely known than many of his serious state ments."

 oP. M. the Hour.

The Advertiser Dot contest will close tonight at 9 o'clock.
 There have been Dot contests. There will be Dot contests. But none perhaps, will ever excel the present Dot contest Tor genuine interest and anxious expec- tancy.
 Yesterday developed many. many charts and new contestants. Scores of them had been holding back their charts to the last, and many deposited thre. four, i've and six charts each. ranging in numbers of Dots for chart from 5000 to 6.oo0 Dots, showing that each chart maker had de- veloped faculty of drawing greater number of Dots.
 A stream of contestants filed in and out of The Advertiser counting room all day yesterday from early morning until clos ing time last night.
 The Dot Editor was kept busy receiv- ing charts and registering names and numbers. The numbers contained in the various charts will be interesting to in- spect after the contest closes. as well as the expertness with which many of the charts have been prepared.
 Don't forget the hour of closing. This is positively the last day. All charts must reach The Advertiser by o'clock tonight.
 Who will be the winner?
