Back Tax Matters.

Those persons living in Kinds coup
ty, who have been duly and legally
served with notices by the Board of
Supervisors and the State Revenue
Agent, that they must pay their back
taxes and have not done so, will be
given until the meeting of the Board
of Supervisors in August to make set
tlement. Most of the persons are as
sessed with taxes from the years 1886
TO 1902, and in many cases there are
credits which should be allowed. A
large number of persons who have
been assessed have come forward and
made their settlement with the Rev.
envue Agent, while there are others
who have paid no attention to the
matter, and it is for the benefit of
these that the order was passed. If
they did not see the Revenue Agent
and get the proper credits, they will
have to pay taxes on the entire amount
charged against them by the Revenue
Agent, Notwithstanding they may have
legal credits. The city, county and
State taxes collected by the Revenue
Agent up to the present time amounts
to about $31 900.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
A Brief Chronicle of All Important Happenings
After the Blind Tigers.

For the third time during his term
of Office State Revenue Agent Adams
has adopted summary method Of
dealing with blind tigers. The stat
utes authorize the revenue agent to
collect privilege tax Of $500 from
each person engaged in the sale of
liquor in the state, and the courts
have held that this tax can be collect
ed, regardless of whether the person is
running his liquor establishment in
violation of law. 1t seems that the
blind tigers keepers at Hattiesburg
have grown quite prosperous from the
Illicit traffic lately, and several of
them have bank accounts. The reven-
ue agent has just attached these bank
accounts for the purpose of forcing
each lawbreaker to pay $500 each to
the state, county and municipality, a
total of 81 500. There seems nothing
left for the tiger keepers to do but
pay ap, as the supreme court has ex-
pressly ruled on the point.

Military Men for China.

Some weeks ago there appeared in
the press dispatches a telegram from
a middle Western State to the effect
that an agent of the Chinese Govern
ment was endeavoring to enlist Amer
lean military men for the Chinese
Army. A number of Mississippi ma
tional guardsmen who. saw the tele-
gram wrote to General Fridge and
asked him what he knew about the
matter. General Fridge wrote the
Ambassador and told him that if he
wanted experienced Americans for the
Chinese Army there we're a number in
Mississippi who would like to enlist.
The letter received from the Ambas-
sador's Secretary was short and to
the point, and stated that there is no
place in the Chinese Army for Amer
lean officers and that none is wanted.

Importation of Foreign Labor.

The importation of foreign labor
steadily continues, and several of the
largest planters in the delta have
made contracts within the past few
days with labor agents in New York
to secure for them gangs of Italians
immigrants, who are now being
brought South by the coach load,
many of them having been but a few
days in America Mr.. w. p. Shelton,
of Greenville, has just returned from
New York, where he has arranged for
the importation of $50 Italians fami-
lies. which means $50 persons to this
state, and left orders to secure fifty
more families to be brought down be-
fore the 1st of September, if possible.

moment they were preparing.
II appeared that the less fortunate

buy some of the ointment, and the
further the train got east the higher
rose the price.-London Mirror.

After Foreign Corporations.

Secretary of State Power continues
to receive letters from foreign cor
porations regarding the recently an
nounced movement of the Revenue
Agent to proceed against all such that
have not complied with the law re-
quiring them to file copies of their
charters in the Office of Secretary of
the State. The best information that
can be given them is that they are
probably without any standing in the
courts of the State so long as their
charters are not on file. The question
has never been judicially determined,
but an opinion of former Attorney
General McClurg suggests this prob
ability.

The M. !. & G.. Railroad.

The promoters of the new Memphis
Indianola and Gulf railroad have ac-
quired every foot of the right of way
from Indianola to jackson. The sur
veying party is now at Sartartia, in
Yazoo county, having already made
the final survey from Indianola to
that place. 1t is said that the Frisco
people are behind the new road that
it will connect at jackson with the
Gulf and Ship Island, thus giving the
Frisco direct line to the gulf.

Bow Bitten by Dog.

E. G.. Baker, of Natchez, a member
of the Board of Supervisors, is in New
Orleans, where he took his 14-year old
son, vi, tor, to the Pasteur Institute
for treatment. The youth was bitten
Wednesday evening by dog supposed
to have rabies. Mr. Baker started on
Thursday with him across the country,
taking a Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
train at Knoxville for New Orleans.
The youth was bitten on the arm and
wrist. The dog bit five milch cows
and valuable saddle horse before he
could be killed.

State Bonds Sold.

The half million dollars of state
bonds authorized by the last legisla-
ture were sold to N. ". Harris & Co.,
of Chicago, bond buyers for $500,92S
and accrued interest to this date. The
accrued interest is computed from the
first day of July, that being the date
on which the bonds will bear date, and
the accrued interest is about $400,
making the total premium on the
bonds about $132S. The bid of N. w.
Harris & Co., was the only offer for
the entire issue made. There were
several small bids, made by citizens
Of the state aggregating $22,0 900 in all,
and these were all par bids.

A series of interesting firing trials
has been undertaken by the Swedish
government. The purpose of these
experiments was to examine the effect

and the target used was a prepared
one of millboard, against which fire
from revolvers, rifles, carbines and
machine guns was directed. The
pasteboard, which was three inches
.hick, resisted completely the bullets
fred from the small arms, but was
perforated by the projectiles from the
machine guns. The experiments may
be said to have given very interesting
results. Bullets from the carbines
used are able to penetrate wooden
planks five inches in thickness, but
they could not penetrate the paste
board, which was only three ino'es
thick

Lumber Shipments.

The comparative statement of ship
ments of lumber from Gulfport for the
first six months of 1903 and 1904
show remarkable increase. From

shipments of lumber and timber
amounted to 41,269,000 feet, board
measure. For the same period this
year the shipments were 12S,695,07
feet. The number of vessels during
that time last year were only 46, while

Here is actual experience again to
prove that trucking in Mississippi
pays. About seven months since the
Farmers Union of Bay Saint Louis
was organized for the purpose of pro-
noting the growing and shipping of
vegetables to the northern markets
and to procure more advantageous
terms to the shipper. The Union also
bought seeds and fertilizer in quanti-
ties, thereby getting it at wholesale
prives and reducing the freight to car
load rates. Success has attended the
first year of the Union and it will be
greatly strengthened next season. A
report just made shows that twenty
ore solid cars of truck have been
shipped and tie net proceeds to the
community was a little over $4,000.
Work at the packing house employed
sometimes as high as eighty or ninety
people and others besides the truckers
were given employment. The truck
shipped was radishes, potatoes, let
tuce, cucumbers, string beans, squash,
green onions, cauliflower, carrots, cab
bage and heats. The success attend
ing the efforts of the people of Bay
Saint Louis will no doubt have the
effect of encouraging others in the
business. Mississippi ought to fur
nish large per cent of the vegetables
used in the United States, and after a
feIy wears will do so
