Some Facts of Industrial Mississippi

0OLnC EdCJS y 4A0uSb1Ao4 AAASSRK~
State Auditor T. NJ. Henry, by re-
quest, read his paper on 'Some Facts
of Industrial Mississippi" on the boat
excursion given Hast week by the citl-
zens of Greenville to the members OF
the State Press Association and a
party of homeseekers 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 htty
homeseekers 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 lust 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.
They are making an extensive tour OF
the State.
The following extracts are made1rom
Mr.. Henry's address;
With your kind permission / would
like to make a statement showing
some of the industrial advancement
along some of the principal lines. only
touching the subject in the high Spots
In 1894 Mississippls total assess
ments of realty, personally ana rail-
roads, express and sleeping car COM
panies, amounted to $171,3ll,969
In 1897 the assessment Of personally
Increased to $44, 994, 791, the realty
and railroads standing at about the
former figures.
In 1899 these items showed an in
crease of SIC ,505, 266. standing, separ-
ateIy, as follows:

Increase for the six years from 1894
to 1900, about the first year, except
1899. in which a substantial increase
was shown, $3S,454,27S. 1t will be
noted that of this increase nearly one
half-$18,31S, 047-was from person
atty.
In 1901 the total increase was 81
O81,57S.
The three items in 1903 showed a
total assessed valuation of S251,447,-
$50, or an increase from 1894 Of $l4,-
1881.
The last realty assessment was
made in 1902. Under a general law
the assessment Of realty is only made
once every four years.
In 1904 the personally assessment
showed an increase over that OF 1908
of 1928, 800, being the largest in the
history of the State. l am of the opin-
ion that had the realty assessment
been made, the increase would have
been relatively as great.
The personal rolls for the present
year have not been received, but it is
safe to say that they will show a ike
gratifying increase.
From 1900 to the present the audi
tor had granted exemptions to thirty
eight manufacturing concerns, ranging
all the way from hosiery mills 10 COT
fin factories. This does not include
the thousand and one industries start
ed and not asking or being entitled to
exemptions. The aggregate of these
would be very much greater.

Ala. Mississippi had fewer business
failures in 1903 than any State in the
Southern group, West Virginia being
next. For that year the liabilities or
failed ncern in Mississippi mount
ed to $3.50, 533, West Virginia $751;
$40, and the highest being Texas,
which amounted to $4,181,443.
While Mississippi has done well In
other fields, there being a perceptiole
awakening in most all lines, 1t is In
banking where she is the most SUI

Industry has been marvellous; so much
SO, in fact, as to attract the atentlon
of the whole country.
Taking 1888 as a starting point,
which 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

He BURNED $4,000.
Adams Express Robber Explains
Why Only $4,000 Is Found.

Bridgeport, Conn, Oct. 20.-Edward
George Cunlfffe. the Adams Express
employe who disappeared from Pitts
burg, Pa with 100000 and was ar
rested here yesterday, started back to
PittSbuFg with the detectives today.
He seemed more low spirited today
than when first captured. He ex-
planned this by saying that he had
hoped to arrange for lenient treat
meut after reaching Pittsburg by
abouts of the stolen money, but the
fact that the detectives recovered
$50, eco Of the money at Bristol Conn,
last evening removed the prisoners
hope in this respect.
After having been told by the de-
tectives of the recovery of this money
CunIiffe said that he had burned the
rest of the amount stolen, about $20,-
goo. because the bids were all of large
denomination and all on a certain
bank. making it dangerous for him to
carry them about.
The discovery Of the shipment Of
money to Bristol came about through
a local driver for the Adams Express
company, who after Cunliffe's arrest
remem bered that on October y, he
was called to the Arlington hotel,
where Cunliffe had a room and was
given a suit case to be shipped to
Bristol, care of the Electric Express
company. The driver informed the
local manager of the Adams Express
company yesterday of this circum-
stance and detectives We're at once
sent to Bristol, where they located the
suit case at the home of a relative of
Cunliffe Joseph W. Boardmam. It
I had not been opened and contained
/ $4,000 in bills together with some
clothing.
Cunliffe. according to his own state
ment, did not spend more than $3.50
during the.sten Gays which interviewed

/ and his arrest.
