Some Facts Of Industrial Mississippi
State Auditor r. NJ. Henry, by re,
quest, read his paper on ''S0rue Facts
Of Industrial Mississippi " on the boat
excursion given last week b. the citi-
zons Of Greenyille to the members OF
the state Press Association and a
party OF homeseckers from the North
and West, in charge Of Capt. Merry,
Of the Illinois Central railroad, thus
catching not only the newspaper men
but also the one hundred and fifty
h~omeseekers visiting Mississippi with
the object OF making investments in
Mississippi's rapidly advancing real
estate. Owing to the subject and the
manner In which the same was handled
it proved especially interesting to them
and just fit the occasion. These home
seekers are practical men from Iowa.
Illinois and Wisconsin, and expressed
themselves as greatly pleased with
what they had seen in Mississippi

Mississippi State News

I Of the United States, pages 413 ard
/ 4lf, Mississippi had fewer business
failures in 1893 than any State in the
Southern group, West Virginia being
next. For that year the liabilities OF
failed concerns in Mississippi amount
I ed to $3.50. 533, West Virginia $751;,
$40, and the highest being Texas,
which amounted to S4,1Si ,443.
While Mississippi has done well In
other fields, there being a perceptlble
awakening in most all lines, 1t is in
banking where she IS the most SUI
preme. The increase in the banking
industry has been marvellous; so much
so, in fact, as to attract the attention
Of the whole country,
Taking 1888 as a starting point,
watch is the first year in which banks
were required to make a statement to
the auditor, the increase has been
gradual for all the years intervening,
and in the last few years has been
wonderful.
In 1888 Mississippi had thirty State
and twelve national banks, The State
banks showed the following;

In 1900, twelve years later, the num-
Der Of banks operating had more than
trebled, their capital had almost done
the same, and the other items showed
prOportiOnate increase.
The last statement called for by the
auditor on the State banks and by the
comptroller Of the currency on the
national banks showed, on March Is
and A. 1905, respectively, the follow

CONSUL TELLS
OF MASSACRES
DR.. Norton Says That Five
Thousand ArmenianS Were
Slain During the Summer
TOURS THE DISTRICT
Pays a Tribute to the Work
Done by the Americans
in the Affected Region
TOURS THE DISTRICT

WASHINGTON, Jan. aa.-The
State Department has made public
portions OF an important report
recently made by Thomas II. Nor
ton, American Consul at Harput. Tur-
key, on the results Of a tour OF in
vestigation made by him, under in
structions from the department,
through the vilayets of Bitlis and Van.
which were the scenes during several
months last summer of repeated at
tacks upon and massacres Of Armen-
ian Christians by the Kurds and other
elements of the Moslem population.
These disturbances. attended by
frightful atrocities and savage cruelty,
resulted in death. suffering and desti-
tuition
The principal object of the visit was
for the better protection of American
interests there and the timely arrival
of DR.. Norton, it is said, contributed to
q peaceful termination. No Americans
were known to have been injured.
DR.. Norton says Mush Is practically
an armed camp, where Armenians are
in constant terror. He estimates in
the Sassun district that 5000 lives
were lost in last summers massacres,
including 2771 children. Several thous
sand refugees, who fed to Mush, were
forced to return to their ruined viii
lagos, where the vilayet authorities
made an allowance of 1 cent per capi-
ia for food. The question of the mo-
ment, he says, is what is to be done
to save the surviving population of
Sassun, numbering 10000 or more,
from the results of insufficient protec-
ton and insufficient food.
He speaks of the American schools
and institutions, and says the mission
aries have much prestige. One salient
fact, says the Consul. Is that the
benevolence of the citizens has ac-
complished more than the efforts of
other nations combined in advancing
the moral and intellectual welfare of
the Armenians and other classes in
the interior provinces. Tribute is paid
to the comparatively small group of
American workers. He says the tide
of emigration is directed almost ex-
clusively to America, and that there
Is an increasing number of American
citizens who have interests in the dis
furhed regions.

UP certified checks as bonds to stand
by the open shop.
The restaurant owners win be sup
ported by the Citizens Alliance in case
trouble follows. Trouble is not ex-

various restaurants will simply be In
formed that no discrimination against

ney of Berkeley and Oscar Luning of
this city and from the ranch of the
Neppach brothers In Fruitvale.
The first cherries sent to the Board
OF Trade came from the home of Irv-
ing r. Whitney, 1431 Hawthorne ter
race, Berkeley, and were gathered on
January IL from a tree in the garden.
A few days later Oscar Luning of 1855
