A Political %ProphecJ.

A political prophet down at Ray
mono, in Kinds county, has put
forth a very weird prediction. In
one sense his view is rather hope
full, but he mikes up entirely too
much with death in the arrange
ment. The Raymond seer says that
the Parker and Davis ticket viii be
elected, but Vice-Prosidcnt Davis
will die of exhaustion during The in
augural ceremonies, and that on the
morning of June II, 1906, at 7:32
o'clock, President Parker will be at
his home at Esopus and will dive
into the Hudson river and never
come up again. John Sharp Viii
who is slated for secretary Of
state, will then succeed to the presi-
dency. This arrangement is some

Mississippi State News
a Wonderful ShoWinu.

The prosperity Mississippi has
enjoyed during the past twelve years
Is splendidly illustrated by the
statement Just issued by the comp
troller of the currency, showing the
volume of deposits in national,
state, savings and private banks.
In 1892, or twelve years ago, the
deposits. in banks Of all kinds in
Mississippi amounted to only ST.
o93,53o. In 1908 the deposits were
S29,l14,325, an increase Of $?9,-
oSO.795, or 81 per cent.
The figures for 1908 are based on
the bank statements issued on The
3Oth of June of that year. On the
LIST of January, 1901, the money on
deposit IN State banks alone in Mis-
slsslppi was over $32, zoo 1000. Ac-
cordlng to the statement of the
State auditor the deposits on the
eth of May, this year, were $2j>-
>6OS,6f1.39, considerable money hay
ing been Withdrawn to be used in
pitching the cotton crop, and invest
ments in other lines of business.
The aggregate bank deposits,
State and national, at this time will
probably amount TO about 100000
900, but by the list of January, next
year, on account of the marketing
Of the cotton crop, they will go to
about $4,000, 600
The increase of 81 per cent in
Mississippi within the twelve-year
period is larger than the showing
made by any other State in the
South except West Virginia, where
the deposits increased 445 per cent
for the same period. North Carolina
is third, with an increase of 213 per
cent, and Arkansas is fourth with a
S17 per cent increase. Tennessee
shows 153 per cent, louisiana al
per cent, and Alabama 100 per cent.

Big Increase in Personally Assess
nentS.

Some marvellous increases in the
assessed valuation Of counties are
being shown ON the personally rolls
now on file with the boards of SUI
pervisors, and the figures serve as
a good index to the splendid pros
perity of the State.
Some time ago it was estimated
that the increase iii the personals
assessment of the State this year
would be about 10000 900. The
actual figures being reported indi-
cate hal this estimate is too low by
from rs to So per cent. The in
crease may 90 to $15,000,0 600.
Washington county's personal as
sessment this year is $2,050,960, an
increase Of $300,565 over that of the
previous year. Union county, which
heretofore has given a very small
personal assessment, reports an in
crease of S225.G or about 40 per
cent more than that of last year.
The city Of Meridian alone returns
Il 100000 increase for the year, OH
Il total assessment Of S., 200, 600.
The county Of Coahoma comes
forward with an assessment of ST.
311,025 on personally, which is an
increase Of S3G8.400 over the figures
Of last year. Carroll county reports
a $4,000 increase.
With tie four counties Of Wash
ington, Coahoma, Union and Car
roll reporting an aggregate increase
Of more than one million dollars,
the total increase for the State
ought to be 100000 or more.
Lafayette county has not yet re-
turned final figures, but the increase
is estimated by the assessor at more
than 5000, 900.
In some of the counties a clamor
is already being made for a reduc-
ton Of local taxes on the strength
