MARCH PIPE LINE REPORTS.
Interesting Facts and Figures To
| Interest Our People.

The March runs of Pennsyl-
vania oil made large gains over
February and were the heaviest
of the past six months. At the
same time there was a big decline
in the shipments and the result
was a gain of over 100000 barrels
in the net stocks. In the Trenton
rock oil fields, there was likewise
a heavy increase in the pipe line
runs, while the shipments were
quite large, and there was de-
cline of nearly 100000 barrels in
the stocks. This is a positive
change in the conditions of petrol
cum supply and demand that
have been made for several years:
While there has been no discov-
cry of new fields, the producers
are making every effort possible
to increase their output of high
grade oil from all available
sources. In the following table
the average daily runs and ship
ments of the Pennsylvania and
Trenton rock oil fields are given
for the past fifteen months:

Always Saw Double.
a remarkable story can be

A remarkable story can be YER
flied by a well known oculist in
Kansas City. In one Of the coun-
ties Of Western Kansas is a cattle
man who has grown wealthy. His
wife, a charming woman of some
DO years, recently began to have
severe headaches. A local physi-
clan decided that the trouble was
with her eyes. The family could
not believe it, as she had very
keen sight from both far and
near. However, the husband took
herto an oculist in Kansas City
for expert examination. In the
course of the examination the
professional man held up candle
and asked her what she saw. Il
see two lights" she answered,
calmly. "Ywo!" exclaimed the
surprised husband. ''Have you al
ways seen two of me when you
looked at met" ''Why, certainly,
DEAR" was her answer, don't you
always see two of me?" And then
came the revelation that this edu-
Gated, intelligent woman had new
er known in all her forty years of
life that everybody didn't see
double. She had accepted her
own condition as a matter Of
course. 1t instantly accounted to
the husband for little indefinite
moments which he had frequently
observed in his wife when she
was reaching for an object, and
it was a matter of great aston
ishment to the woman when by an
adjustment of glasses and through
treatment she began to see as
other people do.

Revenue AGENTS Office.

viii Mississippi kill the goose that
lays the golden egg?" is now a live
ly topic of discussion as the Legislative
session is at hand. For the past year
or more there has been an animated
agitation in some parts of the Stats
in favor of either abolishing the OF.

amending the statutes relating to the
Office as to rob that official of the pow
err Of making his crusades which have
resulted in the collection Of immense
sums Of delinquencies during the past
few years. So long as the State rev.
enue agent confined his back tax suits
to corporations very little complaint
was made, but when he launched a
big batch of suits against individuals
on solvent credits a big howl went up
from the States most influential citi.
zens, who are backing the movement
to abolish the office. Public opinion.
however, declares that If it is right
for corporations to pay back taxes 1t
is right for individuals to do 1t.

Want Hiuher Salaries,

Higher salaries for the State officials
and members of the judiciary is a sub
iect that will likely occupy much at
tention at the coming session of the
legislature. At the last session the
salaries of some Of the State otticials
and the three judges of the Supreme
Court we're raised in small amounts,
but the increases were not Of an OK,
tent to be wholly satisfactory, and an
effort will be made at this session to
increase those who were not benefited
two years ago. especially the circuit
Judges and chancellors whose pay, 1t
is claimed, is not sufficient to COM
mand the best legal talent, and as a
result the judicial ermine is frequently
worn by men who are in but few re-
spects acceptable for the offices they
fill. A troublesome factor in the waY
of the proposed increase of salaries
is the low condition Of the States fl,
| nances and it Is feared that after the
legislature is through wrestling with
this problem that it will show a de.
| cided spirit Of economy and a tend
| ency to cut down the expenses OF gov
eminent as much as possible.

An Overshadowinu Issue.

The fact that constitutional prohi-
bition is to be the o~vershadowiag is
sue of the legislative session was en-
phasized last week when representa-
tiVes of the battling hosts arrived on
the scene of action and commenced
to- get in active readiness for the
fight. Prohibition leaders and lobby
lists representing the saloon element
are on the ground ready for a fight to
the finish. A decided advantage pos
sessed by the saloon element is the
possession of plenty of funds. The
prohibitionists are, unfortunately, not
literally endowed with cash, AMI must,
therefore, make moral suasion their
chief stock in trade. 1t is understood
that the National Liquor Dealers AS,
ISOLATION has contributed literally to
the campaign fund, and the retail
liquor dealers OF the State have made
handsome contributions to the cause.

Bad Year For Gins.

The cotton season now drawing to
a close has been a particularly unfor-
tunate one for the ginners of the
State. More cotton gins have been
destroyed by fire during the past few
months than any similar period for
many years. The conflagrations were
caused chiefly by the extremely dry
weather that has prevailed since the
ginning season opened, and the losses
sustained have been doubly unfortu.
nate for the reason that very few fire
insurance companies operating ia the
State will accept risks on cotton gins.
The latest report Of a destruction Of
a cotton gin by fire is from Claiborne
county, where the gin of Lee Hamil.
ton and fifteen bales Of cotton therein
were destroyed.
