It will be of interest to the people
Of Mississippi to know something Of
the moneys collected and turned into
the general fund from two depart
ments which were only recently es-
tablished. Reference is made to the
insurance department and the charter
fee department Of the Secretary Of
States Office. The insurance depart
ment has just closed the first year
since it's Inauguration. At the begin
ming Of the year, Mr.. W. @. Cole, who
had carried the department as auditor
it having been made an adjunct Of
that Office in 1900, and which office he
held, was installed as Insurance Com
missioner having been elected by the
people. He promised to turn into the
treasury for the year 1904, over and
above all commissions the net sum Of
100000. To show how we'll he kept
this promise. the sum actually turned
in was $100,111.05. Mr.. Cole estimates
that for the present year he will turn
in the net sum Of $4,000, and in
view of the correctness Of his last
years estimate, we expect his figures
to come up to or go over that mark.
This is splendid showing for newly
installed department and reflects great
credit upon the management Of same.
Insurance rates are not one cent high
or and the taxpayers are just that
amount ahead We have been paying
for the department all along and not
getting the benefit Of it.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1905-02-02

The enforcement Of the law is the
greatest means Of preventing infrac-
ton Of law. A law not enforced is
far worse than if there was ne law
bearing on the subject. The greatness
Of Mississippi depends largely upon
the enforcement Of our uaws. Let ev-
cry good citizen, and they are legion,
make it his business to see that the
laws are strictly enforced.

One of Mississippi's newest enter
prises, Tho Mississippi Cracker Co., at
Hattiesburg, made splendid showing
at the Carnival with its product. The
crackers, cakes and jumbles shown
were as good as could be had any
where and the company reports a
highly satisfactory business so far.
There is no reason why we should not
manufacture our own crackers and
goods Of like nature right here at
home. Preference should be given
home enterprises and the writer hopes
to see this concern prosper and grow
as the years go by.

OLD RELIC is
DISCOVERED
Deerskin With Spanish In
scription Found in Bel.
trami County.

Chas. Gray, living on the shore
of Lake Itasca, in Beltrami
county, has made a most wonder
full find. He had noticed several
times in the last few years that
q large boulder on a sligns emf
nance near the water line Of the
lake seemed to be placed In an
artificial manner on the stones
beneath it, and he blasted the
boulder into pieces so that he
could remove it. When the
fragments were taken away his
amazenent was great to find a
small cavity beneath surrounded
by smaller stones laid in clay
that had been burned until it
resem blcd brick. Lying in this
cavity was g roll Of tanned buffalo
skin, inside of which was a small
copper cylinder, Theoretically
sealed at the ends with clay
plugs covered with a substance
that resem bled pitch. On open
ing the cylinder he found therein
a beautifully tanned antelope
skin on which was inscribed a
letter in Spanish, dated Aug. 9,
l547, purporting to have been
written by two deserters from
De Soto's camp

Surveyors Have Spent Some
Time Working in Vicinity
Of RebedeW Lake.
LINE WILL CROSS NJ. al. AT
TENSTRlKE.
Claimed That 1t Is Now Practical
~ Certain That Road Will
Be Constructed.

According to a report which
reached Bemidji today, a party
of 500 surveyors have been and
are at the present time at work
running line from Duluth west
and have spent several days in
the vicininy of RebedeW lake,
east of Tenstrike.
The line, it is claimed, will be
run in a westerly direction from
Duluth to connect with the 500
railway line at Thief River Falls.
The survey now being run will
cross the M. & I. at Tenstrike.
and residents of that village are
hopeful of securing another rail
way.
Just what truth there is in the
report is not known, but it is
Ya!!1lte certain that the 500 intends
to build a line from Thief River
Falls to the head of the lakes,and
there Is little doubt but that this
road is behind the movement.
