The late war between Japan and

means of awakening the oppressed OF
Russia to a proper realization OF their
condition and kindleins within their
breasts the hope Of greater liberties
for the people Of all Russia. The
conditions have resulted in the Car

Witte, the great Russian statesman
who played such an important part in
negotiating the treaty of peace be-
tween Japan and Russia, is to be pre-

their burdens and charging their
powers, Russian subjects owe a debt
of gratitude to Japan. Japan taught

The assessment rolls Of the various
counties of the state show an increaS-

owe the assessment of 1904. The
state tax levy is six mills. Therefore
the increased assessment will yield to
the state treasury something over
SS5, 0O0. 90. Already speculation is
begun as to how the legislature will
appropriate this increase in funds.
Some suggest that the salaries Of GER
tain state officials should be increased
as we'll as the salaries of the circuit
judges and c~hancellOrS. We are Of
the opinion that the money should be
allowed to remain in the treasury
there is already a deficit it can fill-and
that certain large appropriations now
being made should be decreased.
However, if the legislature maintains
past records, it will not be long dis
posing of the increase and charging
already large appropriations.

Considering the tremendous difficult
ties laid in the path of every business
man, Mr.. Anderson says. it is no Won

through generations of financial gym

discovered that the accident was due
to the work of termites.
These pernicious insects had eaten
out the interior of wooden pillar
foundations so that when two work
men happened to press too hardly
against them the pillars collapsed.
Professor Oldenbach attributes
many similar accidents and the de-
struction of buildings in Cleveland
and other cities to the work of ter

MANUFACTURERS
IN SESSION

ATLANTA, Ga, May 16.-More
than six hundred delegates were III
their seats when the tenth annual
convention of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers was called to
order in the Grand opera house this
morning by r. F. Maddox, president
of the Atlanta chamber of commerce.
Following the opening prayer, Gov
ernor Terrell welcomed the delegates
on behalf of the state, Mayor Wood
ward rendered them the freedom of
the city, and Hon. John Temple
Graves spoke for the citizens of At
lanta. President d. M. Parry of In
dianapolis then took charge of the
convention. and delivered his annual
address. He discussed the labor
problem, rate legislation and other
subjects in which the manufacturing
industry is vitality interested. Mr..
Ludwig Ninsen addressed the con-
vention on the subject of the gov
ernmental relation to public fran
chises, and the morning session con-
cluded with an interesting address
on the subject of rate Legislation by
President Samuel Spencer of the
Southern railway.
The convention will be in session
three days. Edward Atkinson of
Boston and Secretary Metcalf of the
department of commerce and labor
are among the prominent men slated
for addresses. Indications point to
the selection of d. A. Tompkins, a
prominent cotton mill owner of Char
lotte. N. c., to succeed ID. NJ Parry
as president of the association.

Professor Marlatt states in reply
to mandatory and house owners
threatened or undergoing attack by
the pest. that complete dryness in
buildings is essential.
If the winged termtes are seen to
emerge from any particular place
by the removal of flooring and the
opening of the walls, the colony may
be reached and destroyed by steam
hot water, or, preferably, kerosene
or some other petroleum oil. To de-
stroy the winged individuals is OF
no value at all. the colony itself must
