KING MENELIK Is IN EXCELLENT HEALTH Dr. RoSen Talks of His Religious
 Beliefs ALWAYS KEEPS HIS WORD Believes He Is Directly Descended From Son of Solomon
 and the Queen of
 Sheba.
ALWAYS KEEPS HIS WORD

Berlin June u.-Dr. Rosen, minister eieet 10 Morroco has returned from Abys- sinna where he had gone as special envoy or Germany to King Menelik for the pur- pose of concluding commercial treaty by Abyssinia and this country.
 Dr. Rosen's personal estimate of King Menelik, whose language he speaks, and whose associate he was for some weeks, is that he is essentially a man of sound morals and excellent principles even ac- cording to the European standard and that in the main he lives up to these principles. pr. Roser says that King Menelik's easy rule over the federal dis trict, kings and chiefs is due to his quick mind mild conciliatory disposition sup ported by occasional severity. He always keeps his word, doing what he says he will and is just to the traditions of his country
 King Meneliks own belief, according to Dr. Rosen. is that he is descended from son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, that this son who was called Prince Menelnk the First, with following of picked men, Jews and Sabians. went into Ethiopia and lived and thrived there ana that these Jews were the founders of the present Abyssinian race. MeneilS the First is presumed to have taken the ark of the covenant with him and it Is still asserted to be in a temple at Akhum. No European has ever seen 1t and it has not been seen even by the present ruler of Abyssnia himself, only priests of high grade who are unmarried being permitted to behold it.
 Dr. Rosen says that King Menelik Is in fine health and that although he is 6i years of age he only looks about 50. He is fond of wearing broad brimmed American hat whe out of doors, but otherwise he dresses in the loose gar- ments of the country. When in doors the King wears a broad handkerchief folded about his head
 Although 1t has been said that Mene- lilz's orders outside the districts are not obeyed Dr. Rosen found the chief in most parts of the country willing to carry out the Kings orders

TAX RAISES MADE
 DOWN IN ESCAMBIA
ADDITIONAL VALUATION IN THE COUNTY WILL BE NEARLY $350,- ooo-coRN IS BADLY IN NEED OF RAIN.

Brewton, June u.-(Special)--After a session of five days, sitting as board Of revenue, or equalization, the county commissioners adjourned yesterday. Act ing on the report of Assistant State Ex- aminer Wilkinson, published some time since. the tax commissioner had prepared a large list of property on which the valuation should be raised, and the com missioners sustained every raise suggest ed except two, and in addition to this raised about one hundred other Valua- tions, the total number of raises being about eight hundred, aggregating an ad- ditional tax valuation of between s325, ,OOO and SS50.000 in Escambia county.
 Rain Is badly needed by some of the farmers, and they say if 1t keeps dry much longer the corn crop will be dam aged, as it Is now where it needs rain to fill out the ears. Cotton generally is in good condition, and the sweet potato crop is said to be doing well. This has been good week for work and advantage has been taken of if, but some farmers say they will not get their crops clean at all this season, as the farm hands have raised the price of work to a polu. that the farmers cannot afford to pay, and they are hiring very little work done. The melon crop is doing well, the first watermelons and cantaloupes ap- bearing in the Brewton market yesterday. and were sold at fancy prices.
 Quarterly conference of the Methodist church was held in Brewton last night, the Rev G. s. Tally of Evergreen pre- siding, the Rev w. S. Wade, the pre- siding elder of this district, being pre- vented from attending by sickness. The affairs of the church were found to be in good condition.
 The machinery of the Brewton Bottling works has commenced to arrive, and in a few days this new industry will be added to those already under way here
 Brewtons growth continues. At present there are six or eight new buildings in course of erection, besides numerous ad- ditions and Improvements to others. The demand for houses has not yet been sup piled. and as soon as a residence is com pleted it is occupied.
